Chapter 368 Wild Wolf Rider

On the third day after the New Year, the Gray Army gathered its troops and officially set off for the expedition.

Except for senior officers appointed by the Tactical Department, all 30,000 soldiers in this army signed up voluntarily. As mentioned before, civilians' desire is to live a stable life, while most soldiers have ambitions other than this. Moreover, during this expedition, the Gray Army's troops were naturally under the control of Bran's military. Therefore, if soldiers could kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, they would not only receive internal rewards from the Gray Army, but also receive military honors from Bran. Under the double encouragement, the young soldiers naturally became filled with fighting passion.

However, although the registration is voluntary, Oumeng's side naturally has to be allocated, so the quota of 30,000 soldiers is basically evenly divided among the five legions of the Gray Army. Bran is not worried about any tricks the Gray Army will use, such as sending old, weak and remnant soldiers. The gray-coated army was not one of the four major lords, and they went to the front line where the death rate was very high. The nature of the Gray Army meant that it was impossible for Luo Sha and the others to just sit back and watch their soldiers die, let alone the old, weak and disabled soldiers.

As for Tang En, except for leaving a few people to watch over little Carol, he brought almost the entire gray space team with him this time. Just like what he said to the old housekeeper a few days ago, he is ready to go all out this time and must kill Sethman!

The Shiwandaishan is so vast that in its west, no one has even been able to explore its end. The location of the front line is due north, but after the army set off from Shuguang City, it did not cross directly northward from Shiwandashan. Although this can reduce the distance, the unknown dangers will also be greatly increased. After all, no one can guarantee that a powerful monster will suddenly appear in this impoverished place, which will most likely result in the annihilation of the entire army...

On the winding mountain road, soldiers as densely packed as ants kept marching.

"Brother Tang En, Brother Tang En...what's wrong? You looked absent-minded all the way." He also looked in all directions, and all he could see were soldiers buzzing in discussion. Frey turned around and said in surprise.

"Oh, it's nothing..." Tang En looked away and responded casually. To be honest, although there were a few people left behind, he was still a little worried that little Carol would follow. It's okay to find it now. If I find it after a few days, I won't be able to send it back.

"By the way, Brother Frey. Although I often hear people mention it, what is the situation of the Northern Wilderness barbarians? You are most familiar with this. Please tell me in detail." This trip to the front line, although the target is Sethman, But Tang En is not so naive as to think that he can meet the opponent casually, so the first thing he has to consider is how to let himself and the Gray Space team survive on the battlefield. The first thing to do is to learn as much information about the enemy as possible.

David and the others were also very interested in this topic and quickly approached.

"Barbarians..." Frey touched his short green beard on his chin when he heard this, with a look of reminiscence. "Actually, in appearance, barbarians are similar to us. They both carry a head on two shoulders. But their bodies are stronger and their hair is thicker." It also has to be a little denser, and it has a very strong smell, haha, this will cause them a lot of trouble in hiding and ambushing."

"Ha, I think the evolution is not complete and the hair has not faded completely. And the smell, rub, it is so fishy that it makes people want to vomit...but it makes me miss it now." Taiton laughed at the side. He separated from the crowd and came over. He had a fiery personality and his comments on the barbarians were more direct and rude.

Because registration is voluntary this time, the preparation is a bit confusing and complicated. Frey and Teton are both at the level of battalion commanders, but most of their soldiers have only come here. Tang En brought the gray space directly to Frey's side, while Teton was quite arrogant and pulled some soldiers to form a new battalion. troops.

"Haha, it's true." Frey also laughed twice and nodded in agreement, "It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually it will get better. In fact, when you really fight, you can't smell anything except the smell of blood."

Tang En and the others were not the first brothers in the battlefield, so they agreed with deep understanding after hearing this.

"But joking aside..." Frey's face straightened, and then he said solemnly, "The fighting power of the barbarians is still very strong. Their physiques are naturally strong. They are several times stronger than the northerners of Bran, and once they fight He is extremely bloodthirsty and crazy. I don’t know how it is now, but when I was in the army more than ten years ago, it basically took three regular Bran soldiers to block the attack of an ordinary barbarian."

"Oh, so powerful?" David and others couldn't help but clicked their tongues after hearing this. Those were the battle-hardened soldiers of Bran's three legions, not the second-rate soldiers from the Armaments Department.

"Not bad!" Taiton's face was a little solemn, he licked his lips, nodded firmly, and continued, "And this is just an ordinary barbarian."

"Ordinary?" Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What about extraordinary?"

"This has to talk about the system in the Northern Wilderness. The Northern Wilderness tribe is actually composed of thousands of large and small tribes. Let's not talk about some small tribes. Although some barbarians are also quite troublesome, after all, the number of people Not many. Well, let’s focus on the elite barbarian soldiers of a few large tribes..."

After a pause, "If you see a battle formation composed of barbarians with golden hair and blood-red eyes on the battlefield in the future, and the strength of the troops here is not more than five times that of the opponent, it is best to avoid it. Because that They are the elite barbarians of the War Lion Tribe - the Bloodthirsty Lions. Almost all of them are born with divine power and amazing fighting power. Well, the Cang Yan Legion had a record in the past. An infantry division of 3,000 people accidentally encountered 500 Bloodthirsty Lions in the wild. Mad Lion, well, it was also the division commander who was eager to reinforce the friendly forces, and the scouts dispersed unreasonably. As a result, they met on a narrow road and had no way out. In the end, although they did not know the number of casualties on the other side, when the Cang Yan Legion sent people to look for them, they discovered that this The entire division was wiped out and no one was spared.”

Taiton nodded: "Well, I've heard about this too. It seems that a general was beaten to the end because of this and went to stand guard with a gun to guard the arsenal."

Frey continued: "There are two more special and difficult types of barbarians that need to be paid attention to. One is the aerial unit of the Northern Wilderness, called the Falcon Air Cavalry. This is the elite barbarian soldier of the Mad Eagle Tribe. It is mainly trained through training. A huge eagle is used as a mount, which can carry people in a short distance to ignore obstacles such as city walls and carry out dive attacks... The other one is the Dark Snake Guard of the Hidden Snake Tribe. The barbarians in this tribe are generally thin and boneless, but it is also because of In this way, they are best at gathering intelligence and conducting assassinations. In those years, many of Bran's officers died under their scimitars."

David smacked his lips when he heard the words: "Tsk, that Dark Snake Guard sounds a bit similar to our gray space."

Falcon Air Cavalry, Dark Snake Guard... Tang En nodded thoughtfully. Thanks to Sethman, he had seen both types of Northern Wilderness troops.

"Finally." Frey suddenly raised his index finger, his face more serious than ever before, "If, I mean if, such barbarians are rare... If you see a group of giant wolves riding green armor, holding long spears and carrying If there are dozens of barbarian cavalry with short spears, it is best to hide on the spot immediately. If you can't hide, then set up a defensive formation with shields. Remember, you must not turn around and run away, because then they will definitely attack. If you defend, it is possible There is a glimmer of hope. Well, maybe they are just passing by and may not have any plans to attack..."

"Uh..." Tang En, David and others were a little dazed. It goes without saying that Frey's courage is so great. Just because the Thunder Spear Formation Breaking Team he led has always been the first to break into the enemy's camp in every battle. You can tell that this is definitely a master who fights with his life. But now the meaning in his words seemed to be that he didn't even have the thought of attacking, which had to shock them!

"Ahem!" Taiton on the side cleared his throat twice, his face a little ugly, "Frey is right, well, they are Wilderness Wolf Riders, an elite unit of the Sirius Tribe. The Sirius Tribe is also the Northern Wilderness. They are the royal family, and a large part of the reason why they are able to subjugate the tribes is because of the invincible Wild Wolf Cavalry, which comes and goes like the wind."

"The Wild Wolf Cavalry is invincible...well, is it true that it has never been defeated?" David asked in surprise.

"Haha, of course that's impossible." Frey regained his relaxed expression and chuckled, "As far as I know, this Steppenwolf Rider appeared many years ago. But although it was powerful at that time, it didn't have the reputation of being invincible. , defeat is naturally inevitable. However, about twenty or thirty years ago, this Wilderness Wolf Cavalry suddenly rose to prominence. It was sure to defeat the enemy whenever it encountered, and it was sure to win every battle. It soon became famous. Except for twenty years ago, If you lose to the Ziyi Army God once, there will be no other defeats."

"You only lose once in a few decades...are you so awesome?"

"Haha, it's so awesome!" Frey shook his head and laughed, "Actually, there are some rumors, saying that the reason why the Steppen Wolf Cavalry is as powerful as it is now is mainly because of the change of the leader of the genius, who seems to be called Daneka. Well...well, I just heard it, and there is no basis for it. There is also a saying that the reason why the Wilderness Wolf Cavalry rarely loses is because they only fight in the field and do not participate in the battle to attack the city wall. Haha, of course this is a bit nonsense, After all, cavalry is not suitable for attacking cities..."

Michu, who was quiet on the side, suddenly said when he heard this: "Brother Frey seems to be very knowledgeable about the Steppen Wolf Rider?"

"Oh? Have you been discovered?" Frey shrugged and laughed to himself, "Haha, yes, I have been defeated by the Steppenwolf Cavalry. Well, saying this feels like putting gold on my own face... At that time, I was just a soldier in the pike brigade. One evening, the brigade received news that dozens of barbarians broke through the border and entered our patrol area. This situation is normal on the front line. It happens basically every day. Those The barbarians are here to grab food. If they encounter us, they will start fighting. If the barbarians have the upper hand, we will hide aside and wait for them to leave..."

"The news that day said there were only a few dozen people, so more than a hundred people from our brigade went out to patrol, and they met each other outside a farm. Well, the number was right, about twenty people, but they were all on horseback. Catching the wolf... Before we even got close, we were spotted by the beast. Then we heard a wolf howl, and the companion next to me was penetrated by short spears that were constantly being thrown... He couldn't rush up, nor could he escape. The opponent could easily catch up with the wolf, but I was hit by a short spear on the left side of my lower abdomen, and then I fainted. Of course, I was treated in time and luckily I didn't die, but I was the only one in the group who was so good. Just luck."
