Chapter 71: The Shield of the Alliance
For more than ten days in a row, Heslamo would try to attack every morning, and the best result was only three or five people rushing to the city.
In more than ten attacks, he tried sneak attacks, tried concentrated breakthroughs, and tried to lead the charge, but unfortunately it didn't work.
The defense of the head of the city, presided over by Kai, did not have a single flaw.
"Go around. ”
The merchant Hussefit gritted his teeth and said, "Go around this damned city, go and rob people, grab livestock, and don't spend it here anymore." ”
The army of 5,000 is now only more than 3,000 people left, and on the battlefield under the city wall, countless of their own soldiers are nailed to the ground by long crossbow arrows, which can be clearly seen at a glance.
"Go around, if you are surrounded and annihilated......"
Heslamo wanted to object, but the merchant Hussefit was very persistent.
"Siege warfare is already difficult to fight, and if we are not afraid on land, their great shields will not stop our warriors. ”
Businessman Hussefit was already a bit neurotic, and he didn't allow the team to stand still.
This eastward march was a battle in which he exhausted all his financial resources, and he lost half of his military strength in the desert.
When they arrived, they were about to take a city, but they were stopped by the damned man who could speak their language.
And some people in the army have already proposed to return to the west, and even Heslamo and others have such thoughts, which makes him not anxious, and how can he not become neurotic.
So far, he can't allow anyone to say retreat.
"The warriors don't want to go too deep, it's not like the Hermes Mansion......"
The leader of the travelers was about to speak out against it, but the merchant interrupted him again.
"Then how are we going to face the Divine Mansion when we go back?"
He loudly questioned the leader of the travelers, "Do you think the Divine Mansion will listen to your explanation?"
The leader of the travelers was silent, he could not utter a word that slandered the Shrine.
"Then go deeper. ”
The herdsman leader spoke: "Grab more war horses, mobilize mobility, and even if you can't beat it, you can run at the worst." ”
Heslamo looked at him and said nothing.
There were four people present, who did not know that the enemy had wolf riders, and there were a whole ten thousand wolf riders.
It is almost impossible to escape the pursuit of such a huge wolf rider in this prairie.
But they also knew that there were not many choices to make, and if they went back like this, the Divine Mansion would definitely not be satisfied.
"Let's go. ”
In the end, Heslamo could only agree, not to submit to the merchant or herdsman chief, but because the Crusade was an order of the Divine Residence.
The idea was agreed, and the next day the army marched out, bypassing Xiliang City and heading east.
"Sure enough, as the marshal expected, the herdsmen in the east have long been transferred, and they will not see anything on the way east. ”
Looking at the army heading east, he said to Xiang Wei.
He smiled, looked at Zhuma and said, "They are gone, we are also leaving, Xiliang City will be handed over to you, no problem, right?"
In the past few days, he also talked to the chief of the horse, and based on his performance during the invasion of the field, as well as his respect for the alliance, he promised that he could continue to stay in Xiliang City.
The army of the king of people and the army of the alliance will not attack Xiliang City, but at the same time, he must also destroy the ambition in his heart.
After all, the position of the king of people has to decide who the king of people will leave to.
Although he didn't think there was anything good about the bloodline inheritance system, it was a matter for the human tribe, and he didn't want to get involved too much, especially if Taichu didn't raise any objections.
"No problem. ”
Zhuma straightened up and said with one hand beating his chest.
He nodded, turned and jumped on the giant wolf, leading the way down the wall.
More than 10,000 wolf riders followed closely and slowly walked out of Xiliang City.
Leaving the city, the team hung far behind the enemy, but he did not deliberately hide his tracks, and the enemy soon discovered them.
"Marshal, the enemy's light cavalry is coming, there are more than a thousand or so people. ”
By the time the spies reported the news, he already knew what he was talking about.
Because of the existence of the whine machine, the news reported by the spies is usually a little later.
But this form is still not canceled, because there are still various problems with the woo machine, and many times there will be poor calls or other failures.
"Stand back, pull the enemy far enough away, take a position, and make contact with a wave. ”
He passed the military order, and then let the general below operate the team, and he took out the map and looked at it again.
The enemy reversed to meet the enemy, this is something that has been guessed for a long time, but it is still unknown where exactly it will be reversed.
He had no idea of engaging the enemy's entire army, so he could only pull the enemy's infantry and cavalry apart and fight the enemy's cavalry in waves.
In the battle with cavalry, the choice of terrain is very important, and although several places have been identified before, it is still necessary to look at them again.
After a while, he didn't change his plan and followed the team all the way back to a hillside.
Five thousand wolves dismounted, with the giant shieldmen in front, and the pikemen and archers behind them lined up in turn.
One thousand wolf riders served as the rear army, and the remaining four thousand wolf riders were divided into two to protect the left and right wings.
"Does the enemy dare to charge?"
Behind the giant shield battle array, he asked his brain.
"Probably so, after all, the enemy also wants to find out what we are. ”
The think tank thought for a while, and then said without hesitation.
He nodded, he thought the same thing, but he couldn't be sure whether the enemy would rush at the giant shield array or the wolf riders left and right.
It didn't take long for the enemy to come into view, and they stopped at a distance, hesitated, and finally struck the wolf cavalry on the left.
He shook his head, helplessness in his eyes.
It seems that the performance of this huge shield at the head of the city made the enemy a little frightened, so he left the infantry and went to fight the wolf horse.
But he didn't have the idea of letting the wolf rider fight with him, he directly moved to the left with a part of the giant shield hand, and at the same time mobilized the formation.
The enemy was not far away, and when he charged, he no longer allowed for a large-scale movement of formation.
But he was not anxious, although the alliance had not fought for many years, there was military training every year, and the army was trained enough to be elite.
For others, it's hard to change this situation, but for Saga's team, it's not difficult.
After a while, the left side of the phalanx re-laid the big shield hand, and outside the big shield hand, there were still two thousand wolf riders.
As the enemy charged, and the two met at three arrows, the wolf rider began to enter the air attack left behind by the Great Shieldman.
With a rumbling sound, the wolf riders ran past the infantry at full speed, and when they all disappeared into the phalanx, the big shieldmen raised their big shields, and the formation was formed again.
Now, the herdsman leader was faced with two choices, one was to charge and run towards the phalanx, and the other was to choose to wander and ride towards the thousand wolves behind the phalanx.
In the gallop, the herdsman leader thought for a moment and rushed straight to the phalanx.
Seeing his choice, a smile appeared on his face.
"Shield. ”
He roared, and the sound spread throughout the four fields.
"Bang, bang, bang. ”
The Great Shield Bearer lifts the shield and knocks it to the ground, which allows the sharp underside of the shield to plunge deeper into the ground, and also makes the shield closer to each other.
"The bow and crossbow are ready. ”
He watched the enemy, and when the locals came into the crossbow's attack range, he didn't let the crossbow attack, but continued to wait.
It wasn't until the enemy was within range of the bow that he gave the order again.
"Shoot. ”
With his command, bows and arrows and crossbows were fired in unison.
More than 2,000 archers shot bronze arrows like rain on the enemy, these light cavalry had no armor, and the shields on their hands were mostly wooden, so they could not defend against them at all.
All they can rely on is their own fighting spirit to resist the bow and arrow, but even so, they can only ensure that they do not penetrate deep into their bodies.
If it is a key part such as the throat and skull, even if the piercing is not deep, there is a possibility of death.
And what terrified them the most was not these bronze swords, but those crossbow arrows.
Crossbow arrows are shot from the city walls and can only shoot one person from a high position, but when they shoot at the ground, they can penetrate a row.
Each crossbow arrow can hit at least one enemy, and some are lucky enough to even penetrate two or three enemies.
"In the future, we will add more input from the big crossbow. ”
He couldn't help but say to the think tank beside him.
The battle at the head of the city, and this battle, everyone has seen the role of the big crossbow, in fact, there is no need for him to remind them, these wise men also know this truth.
After a few shots, the enemy finally came to the front of him, and he stepped forward, removed a large shield, and held a turtle shell to replenish the position.
"Totem power, put. ”
With his order, all the fighters in the front row released totemic power.
Their power is all the overlord spirits, and as soon as the power of the overlord spirits appears, they surge into the shield, including the shield is also wrapped in this power.
This is not over, the turtle shell in the center of the turtle in his hand shook, and the aura gushed out endlessly, and began to fill the nearby overlord spirit body.
This is what he discovered during a training session, and with the shield array in which he personally participated, a special force could be bred.
It's called the Shield of the Alliance.
The defense of the alliance shield is extremely strong, and Ishizen personally tested that if there are enough people, he can even block one of his blows.
Of course, this requires more than 1,000 people to hug each other tightly and then block the front with turtle shells.
Even so, it was already a very remarkable force, so in the face of the enemy's charge, he was very confident.
The herdsman leader also saw the change in the enemy position, but he didn't know what kind of power it was, and he didn't feel the presence of divine power in this power, so he was not afraid.
As long as he wasn't a god, he felt he could break through.
Then, the confident herdsman leader Caseldo accelerated again and was the first to charge into enemy lines.
No, not rushing in, he was just the first to rush to, and the location he chose was exactly where he was.
Thus, a tragic scene appeared.
The war horse frantically slammed into the shield, with a muffled rumble, the war horse was roaring, and the herdsman leader on the horse was stunned, and his whole body flew out, following the war horse and hitting the turtle shell.
The huge tortoise shell, like a city wall, hit it, and you couldn't even feel the slightest shaking of the tortoise shell.
The herdsmen's leader was smashed, but before he could get up, the cavalry behind him followed.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The continuous impact, the phantom of the overlord on the shield of the alliance was shaking, and there were even waves in the power, which showed how fierce the enemy's impact was.
But even so, the shield of the alliance was still strong, and the entire large shield array did not collapse at all, and retreated.
More than 1,000 cavalrymen stopped in front of the big shield, and in front of the team, people turned on their backs and wailed.
A number of warriors were stabbed by their companions' swords as they fell, and blood flowed profusely from the ground.
