At this time, Dadu had already seen that there was no way to go up the mountain. The entire mountain wall had been destroyed by Gulaqin people in advance. The gravel was messy. Not to mention the horses, even if the person rushed up, he would sprain his ankle accidentally. Moreover, the edges and corners of the gravels were very sharp. Even if the Tarik warrior was wearing leather boots, he might not say that his boots would be pierced.

There are two lines of defense on the mountain. The arrows on the first line of defense are slightly weak. The melee warriors holding large swords and spears are waiting for battle. The main archers are behind the second stone wall.

Some of the Tarik cavalry rushed to the foot of the mountain, with rainy arrows on it, and there were messy gravels under the horse's hooves. As people were on their backs and horses turned over, many soldiers even stabbed the vital points by the protruding gravel horns. The scene seemed quite chaotic for a moment. Although the Tarik cavalry had the arrow rain suppressed the Gulaqin warriors on the mountain, it was already very difficult to climb up the mountain every time they took a step forward.

During the battle between the two armies, hundreds of Tarik warriors were killed or injured in such long-range arrows. The previous momentum of a rainbow has been suppressed.

The Tarik Samurai was growing in a long column, and he was still brave enough to climb up the mountain while stepping on his companion's corpse. Although there were indeed a few Tarik Samurai who had difficulty approaching the first line of defense, the Gulaqin warriors who were guarding the first line of defense had already been prepared. Before the Tarik Samurai approached the stone wall, the spear had already been stabbed down from above.

Blood was splattering everywhere, and the thousand men were shouting at the foot of the mountain, rushing forward. He was entrusted with the lead, which was to make all his efforts to make military achievements, but Gulaqin soldiers fought for their relatives. Faced with the elite Tarik warrior, they were fearless, and Tarik warriors could not gain any advantage.

Chu Huan looked at the battle situation of Eagle Head Peak from the right wing peak. Judging from the situation, the herdsmen and soldiers of Gulaqin were not at a disadvantage, but Chu Huan could also see that if we talk about the hard power of the battle and the excellent equipment, Gulaqin and Tarik were too far apart. Fortunately, Gulaqin retreated to Heishan and used Heishan as a defensive barrier. Just imagine that if this was against the plain, the battle situation would definitely be one-sided. The Tarik warriors would definitely have the strength to suppress the Gulaqin warriors.

Maha Kwangmeng's eyes watched the Tarik warriors who were attacking the mountain rolling down from the hill one after another, and his face suddenly looked ugly.

Capturing Montenegro and capturing Mahazang is naturally an unchangeable goal, but the Tarik warrior is the treasure of the empire. Every Tarik warrior is a wealth of the empire. If the casualties are too bad, even if the Black Mountain is captured, it is probably hard to say.

After all, he is the dignified King of the North Court of Xiliang, not a pamper. He can see clearly the war ahead. If he continues to attack like this, perhaps with the brave combat power of the Tarik warrior, he can really go down to the Eagle Head Peak, but with Gulaqin's current defensive posture, even if he catches the Eagle Head Peak, there are only a few left of the three thousand Tarik warriors.

If the three peaks of Black Mountain are attacked by just the Eagle Head Peak, thousands of people will be killed or injured. This price is unacceptable to Mahajang. He believes that Mahara cannot accept such a heavy price.

He held the whip in his hand tightly and finally made an action. The horn hand around him blew the horn again, which was an order for Dadu to retreat temporarily.

Dadu was in front of him watching the death and injuries of the Tarik warrior, and was very angry. While he was scolding, he heard the sound of horns coming from behind him. He hesitated for a moment and finally ordered the entire army to retreat.

The first time the three thousand Tarik warriors attacked, more than 300 people had been killed or injured. The companions could only barely take the injured Tarik warrior down the mountain. Even if the dead body was already dead, they didn't care for a moment.

Dadu soon returned to the team and said ashamed: "Master, humble duty..."

Before Maha Vajra had finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "The gang of gulaqin's gang of gulaqin was prepared for such a strong attack, our casualties were too severe." The commander said: "Get the shield soldiers!"

The commander immediately sent the order.

The military operations of Xiliang have always been dominated by cavalry and infantry as supplemented by it, which is exactly the opposite of the military structure of Qin.

The cavalry of Qin State was almost all light cavalry, while the infantry was varied, including swords, spears, hooks and sickles, etc. The infantry of Xiliang was relatively single, but the cavalry was divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

The heavy cavalry has a tight defense. Once the heavy cavalry is rushed into the infantry formation by the heavy cavalry, there is almost no suspense. The infantry will suffer a catastrophe, but the cost of heavy cavalry is extremely high. Although the Xiliang has heavy cavalry, the proportion is extremely small. Usually, they are guards who serve as chief generals. They will never be used easily unless they have to.

The infantry in Xiliang was an auxiliary army. It was not even equipped with shields a long time ago. However, after learning from other countries, they gradually equipped with shields. However, the iron ore and copper ore of Xiliang Kingdom were very scarce. The limited metal deposits also needed to be used to refine swords and guns. If a real metal shield was made, the copper and iron consumed was enough to make several or even dozens of battle knives. Xiliang was originally mainly cavalry, and a large amount of costs were invested on infantry. The Xiliang military was not willing to do so.

Except for the small number of heavy cavalry guards around the generals, the shields equipped by ordinary infantry are all made of animal skins, mostly made of cowhide.

These shields are often made of several layers of cowhide. Although such shields are easier to damage than iron shields, they have certain effects if they really want to resist bows and arrows.

This time, Maha Kyusang led all the cavalry to come. For the Tarik cavalry who advocated attack, it seemed that the shield was not used, but in the end, Mahara ordered the vanguard to equip a thousand shields.

The Gulaqin warriors of Eagle Head Peak blocked the Tarik Warrior with his bow and arrow, making the Tarik Warrior unable to move forward. Maha Kwangang only wanted to achieve the greatest victory at a smaller price, but did not let the Tarik Warriors continue to charge for death. Instead, he decisively ordered the attack to stop for a while and prepared to use the shield as a cover to force them to go up the mountain.

In Maha King Kong's view, Gulaqin's warriors can barely resist long-distance combat, but as long as their warriors are close to each other, compared with individual combat capabilities, Gulaqin's warriors are far inferior to Tarik's elite soldiers. If they use shields to block the opponent's arrows, and then force them to go up the mountain and fight closely with Gulaqin's warriors, Gulaqin's warriors will definitely be defeated.

The summoned Maha Karma approached and whispered, and the meaning was simple and clear. It was covered with shields and broke through the first stone wall at all costs. As long as you cross the first stone wall and meet the Gulaqin warriors in close combat, the two sides were mixed together, then the archers above threw rats and were afraid to shoot arrows. In order to avoid shooting their companions, they would definitely not dare to shoot arrows easily. As long as they suppress the opponent's arrow formation, with the bravery of the Tarik warrior, rushing to the top of the mountain would be just a blink of an eye.

Dadu even claimed that he was depressed at this time and could not get close to the Gulaqin warrior. He was confident that as long as the elite soldiers of his subordinates approached and met in close combat, a Tarik warrior would be enough to deal with three Gulaqin warriors.

The sound of the trumpet rose again, and a thousand cavalry holding shields came out of the queue. As Dadu rushed to the front, Judu stopped his horse a distance from the foot of the mountain. The Tarik warriors who had retreated from the mountain had now reorganized their team. After Dadu's order, the one thousand shield-holding cavalry came down from the war horse, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, forming two rows, each with five hundred people, and stepped forward to the front.

These shields are made of three layers of cowhide, with extremely high toughness and a large area of ​​defense. As long as the body shrinks down, it is enough to protect the whole body. More importantly, you don’t have to poke your head out to look ahead after hiding behind the shield, because there is a special observation port above the shield, and the holes as big as the two eyes are enough for soldiers to hide behind the shield to see the situation ahead.

Only two imperial guards have such shields. Although the Xiliang Empire allows all tribes in the Xiliang country to have a certain number of sabers and bows, armor and shields have always been strictly controlled. If any tribe is found to have more than the specified number of armor or shields, then it will be punished for treason.

Dadu sent another military order. Behind each shield player, a Tarik warrior followed. Under one shield, two Tarik warriors were covered. After a thousand shields, there were already two thousand warriors. The group of warriors shrank, holding a sharp and sharp sabre in their hands, and began to slowly move towards the foot of the mountain.

Na Shibguli looked solemn when he saw the other party sending his shield.

The tactic he previously designated was to build two barriers. The first barrier was mainly a sword-hilt slinger who fought close-range battles, and the second stone wall was mainly an archer. As long as the enemy launched a charge, the archers behind the second stone wall would suppress the enemy with a rain of arrows. Those who guarded behind the second stone wall were all warriors with relatively excellent shooting skills. Although they were not as powerful as the archers of the Imperial Guards, they were condescending and had a dangerous terrain. Shibguli believed that they could withstand the enemy.

He did not expect that the opponent's cavalry came roaring and prepared thousands of shields. When these shields were sent to the field, the effectiveness of the bow and arrow would be greatly reduced.

Shibguli held the knife in one hand and fist in the other hand. Shi Qiluo was following Shibguli at this time and felt that the situation was beginning to become serious.

The Tarik warriors had already started to advance up the mountain with the cover of their shields. Although they were very slow, the five hundred shields in each of the two lines were closely connected, and the fit was very tight. These Tarik warriors had been training together for a long time, and there was no problem with their tacit understanding. The Gulaqin warriors on the mountain looked at the foot of the mountain and seemed to see two walls moving towards the mountain. For a moment, they could not find the target of shooting.

The warrior Gulaqin's expression became solemn. Although there were many arrows stored on the mountain, he had nowhere to start at this moment, and he could not waste the arrows at will.

Several archers looked for loopholes and shot a few arrows, but the other party's reaction was really sharp. He felt the strong wind of the arrows coming, and had already sealed the narrow gap. The arrow could only shoot on the cowhide shield and could not cause any damage to the Tarik Warrior.

The Gulaqin warriors on the mountain could not find a loophole to shoot arrows, but the two thousand soldiers at the foot of the mountain were already lined up under the command of Dadu, bent their bows and shot arrows on the mountain. This was to further suppress the Gulaqin warriors and make the shield soldiers approach the mountain safer.

In the first wave of the Gulaqin warriors, they also had the upper hand, killing nearly 300 Tarik warriors, but in the second wave of Tarik shield soldiers, the situation on the Eagle Head Peak was already in danger.
