12. Battle
"Roar—"
The demon's roar shook like thunder, and the sky gradually darkened.
It is said that a sufficient number of demons will release their demonic power together, which will attract the color of heaven and earth.
Seeing the dark clouds sweeping in the air from all directions, Shao Yuan sighed secretly: "That's really the case!"
Boom - Boom –
Electricity began to appear between the clouds.
"Chirp—"
The hovering feather demon chirped again, irritating people's eardrums.
"The third-grade demons are in charge of me and Lord Zhao! the rest of the people will deal with the other demons according to the arrangement!"
After hearing Hou Tianlin's order, the five hundred regular soldiers of the Pingyang battalion began to operate.
A hundred people were in a team, with one archery team, two cavalry teams, and two infantry teams.
According to the normal tactical arrangement, the archers are generally responsible for carrying out long-range strikes, in addition to dealing with flying units, but also assisting and covering other troops.
The cavalry team is responsible for guerrilla warfare and consumes demonic power.
Finally, the cavalry team and the infantry team will encircle and suppress the demons.
Now on the battlefield, only the Sanpin Feather Demon is a flying unit, and the deputy battalion commander said that the Sanpin Demon is in charge of them.
So the bows and arrows of the archery team were aimed at the eleven first- and second-grade demons who were getting closer and closer.
As soon as they reached the attack range, arrows wrapped in blood were shot out, striking the demons for the first time.
In addition to the archers, the Pingyang battalion archery team also prepared a heavy crossbow, which was controlled by ten people.
I saw that the ten soldiers who controlled the heavy crossbow continued to pour blood into the thick crossbow arrows.
With a bang, the crossbow arrows covered with ten people's blood and qi rushed straight towards the first-class demons.
The crossbow bolt lived up to expectations and successfully penetrated the first-class demon.
The first attack was successful, and the faces of the ten heavy crossbowmen appeared with joy.
There were still two more bolts, and when the heavy crossbowmen thought about firing again, a black flame fell from the sky and headed straight for the crossbow arrows.
The crossbowmen panicked, they couldn't avoid it at all.
Just as the black flames were about to make contact with the ground, a crescent moon sword qi flew obliquely, scattering the black flames.
Lord Zhao made a move.
"Go on!" Lord Zhao said two words briefly, then fixed his gaze on the feather demon in the sky.
The black flame just now was spewed out by it.
The crossbowmen also recovered from the terror, loaded their bolts and infused them with blood.
Zheng –
Another crossbow arrow with blood went straight to a second-grade demon in the rain of arrows from the archers, but this time it failed to kill the opponent.
The crossbow bolt barely plunged into the demon's shoulder, and after it was pulled out, the demon's wound began to heal visibly.
As for the rain of arrows, except for the first-grade demons, there is hardly much to stop the second-grade demons.
Only wounds were left on their bodies, which were far from deep.
The ten-headed demon is getting closer.
The heavy crossbowman with a weak look on his face shot the last crossbow.
In the end, this blow was fortunate enough to not disgrace his life, and once again took the life of a first-class demon.
The work of the archers was almost over at this stage, and the cavalry began to drive their horses, followed by the infantry.
The reservists remained in the rear.
It stands to reason that the fight against demons usually does not involve a reserve team, but this time even the reserve team was brought out.
The captain of the reserve team did not give an order for the time being, and watched with a solemn face.
After all, the soldiers in his team were all recruited into the Pingyang battalion within half a year, and none of the reservists even reached the Naqi realm.
When the time really comes to the need for reserves, the situation is basically powerless.
Wu Fang, like all his other comrades-in-arms, in the reserve team, seemed a little at a loss.
Zhang Qiang's face is complicated.
He had already heard about Shao Yuan before, and at this time he was staring at the latter's back, and silently thought in his heart: "I want to live!"
On the other side, the cavalry team has already made contact with the demons.
Feints alternate with actual attacks, constantly consuming demons.
Most of the cavalry soldiers are armed with spears, but the cavalry captain is a meteor hammer.
He who had already condensed his qi realm actually found a second-grade low-level demon alone, and handed over the remaining eight-headed demons to his comrades-in-arms.
Shao Yuan, who was in the infantry team not far away, was already sweating, and his hand holding the long knife was also drenched in sweat, and the handle of the knife was wet.
In addition to the infantry team, there were also many archers who changed into melee weapons and followed after recovering a little vitality.
Together, we are ready to go.
"Whew-"
A second-grade wolf demon finally had enough of the cavalry team's fighting, and exploded with demonic power, staring at a cavalryman to pounce.
The foot-long claws easily cut through the cavalry's armor and cut the cavalryman's men and horses into several pieces.
Blood mixed with internal organs sprayed all over the ground.
The wolf demon's move undoubtedly gave the other demons a signal, and from then on, the demons began to ignore the provocation of the cavalry guerrilla, looking for targets and starting to defeat them one by one.
In an instant, one of the chosen horsemen was knocked off their horses, or fell with their horses, either dead or maimed!
Seeing their comrades falling one by one, the young infantry and archers finally rushed forward impatiently, and each found the demon to surround and kill.
It's just that trying to do it is self-defeating.
Originally, it was only cavalry against demons, and there was still enough space to pull and fight.
Now that there are too many people, there is a lack of space, and the demon no longer has to focus on a nimble target, and can kill and injure several soldiers with a casual shot.
For a time, the casualty rate increased instead of decreasing!
Boom –
As the earthquake trembled, a thick bolt of lightning pierced the sky.
The ape demon moved.
Black demonic power burst forth.
Each step closes a large distance from the frontal battlefield.
Hou Tianlin also moved, urging his blood qi to rush straight at the ape demon who was dozens of times larger than him.
Seeing that the ant-like human race dared to face him, the ape demon roared angrily and swung his fist.
Hou Tianlin did not retreat, gave a fist, and chose to face hard regrets.
After the fists that were also dozens of times different in size were punched, the two retreated some distance from each other.
It's hard to tell the difference!
The feathered demon in the air was not willing to be lonely, and kept spitting blazing flames into the ground.
It's just that they were all stopped by Lord Zhao's sword aura.
But in addition to dealing with the Feather Demon, Lord Zhao has been distracted and focused on the frontal battlefield.
There were more and more casualties in the Pingyang battalion, and Lord Zhao's face became more and more solemn.
He took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.
took out the jade pendant that had been hanging on his chest from the placket.
Carefully gazed at the blood-colored pattern on the jade pendant, then bit his finger fiercely and pressed it.
In the next moment, endless power erupted from the jade pendant.
Lord Zhao's robe was bulging, and blood sprouted from his eyes.
The thunder between the clouds seemed to suddenly become denser.
An ancient blood-colored figure gradually formed behind Lord Zhao.
Dressed in heavy armor, the tattered cloak on his back fluttered, and he looked up at the feather demon hovering in the air.
On the battlefield, all the soldiers of the Pingyang battalion and the demons seemed to feel the bloody aura accumulated in the sea of corpses and blood at this moment.
The feathered demons in the air even had the urge to escape.
