Chapter 72: An Unexpected Blockade
"Jump in, jump into their ranks. ”
The fighters in the rear of the enemy were roaring, and they alerted the fighters in the front to help them out of danger.
If you can't break through the defenses, you can jump over these shields and jump into the battle formation, which is a good way.
The enemy, who was dizzy and lost his horse when he hit the shield, also woke up a little, and stepped on the corpse or horse next to him, trying to cross the neat shield of the alliance.
"One step back, step back. ”
The voice was majestic, echoing on the battlefield, but after all, it could not be heard by everyone.
But as he mobilized the turtle shell shield, the other shields seemed to be pulled and retreated in unison.
The neat shield array took a step back, and many enemies who wanted to jump in rode directly on the shield.
Without giving an order, the warriors in the rear stabbed their spears, and at a distance, the archers fired directly at the enemy.
"Take a step forward, go forward. ”
He let out another roar, then stepped forward with his shield in hand.
Many of the enemies were about to rush with their might, but they were put on their shields head-on, and their heads were bleeding.
"The archers shoot, the pikemen leap and stab, advance. ”
He gave the order again, raised the turtle shell shield, and took a step forward.
The entire line swooped forward, slamming into the enemy with ferocity, and the spearmen in the rear jumped up on the thighs of their comrades and stabbed behind their shields in the air.
The big shield was erected, without a single gap, and if you wanted to attack, you could only cross the shield.
And the advance and retreat of the shield is in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy will obviously suffer a lot.
The battle was scorching for a while, and the herdsmen's leader, Kassel, was dragged to the rear by the warriors, and finally came to his senses for a while.
"Retreat. ”
Looking at the front and back, like a unified battle formation, he did not hesitate to order the army to retreat.
The cavalry, having lost speed, did not have any advantage in the face of these hoplites.
The enemy began to retreat one after another, and there were fewer and fewer enemies in front of him, but he did not want to stop the war.
"Giant wolf. ”
He waved his hand, summoned his mount, put the turtle shell back on his body, and summoned more than 5,000 wolf riders on the right side to rush out.
"Rush by, don't fight. ”
As he ran, he gave orders to the warriors.
The enemy has a strong ability to fight alone, and it is certainly not appropriate to stop and fight, so it is better to rush through with speed.
He didn't want too much damage if he could kill as much as he could.
The five thousand wolves rode and ran, not as roaring as war horses, but their speed was not comparable to that of these war horses.
The enemy's retreating lineup was originally quite compact, but as the five thousand heavily armored wolf cavalry got closer and closer, they finally couldn't resist the pressure and began to flee in all directions.
"Divided into five, each fighting for itself. ”
He directly separated the team, led a thousand wolf riders alone, and attacked at the forefront.
The other four teams spread out from side to side like blooming lotus flowers, each pursuing their own target.
The team led by Kai quickly made contact with the enemy, and the spear in his hand fell fiercely on the back of the last enemy.
The enemy tried his best to dodge, but he didn't dodge, and the spear stabbed at him instantly.
An enemy without armor can only resist with his own strength.
He only felt that there was a lot of resistance in his hand, as if he was stabbing on the iron armor, but then he pierced the "iron armor" and stabbed the enemy through.
The giant wolf sped up and passed over the enemy, but he let go of the handle of the gun, and after overtaking the enemy, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed the half of the spear that came out of the enemy's chest, and directly took the spear back.
In this way, the method of retrieving the spear is also used when chasing and killing, and if it is a head-to-head battle, he can only abandon the spear and draw the long sword at his waist.
Behind him, the guards who followed him quickly rushed forward to protect him.
After killing an enemy, he had no interest in charging to the front line, and began to slow down slowly.
And he led the thousand wolf horses, but they did not slow down, and under the leadership of the guards, they charged wildly.
Most of these wolf riders were infantry, and they had only made up these giant wolves for the sake of hurrying, but there were also thousands of real wolf riders among them.
Unlike their fighting methods, these real wolf riders do far more damage in their pursuits than they do.
A true wolf rider will first shoot the enemy with arrows, and when the pursuit is close enough, it will throw the enemy with a short spear hanging on the side of the giant wolf, and finally assassinate with a spear.
And after using the spear, they will pull out the newly researched scimitar at their waist to kill the enemy.
After this set, there were basically not many enemies left in front of them.
"The enemy has courage, but the heart is not aligned. ”
The wolf had completely stopped, and even the infantry camp had crossed him to pursue the enemy.
"It's not in our favor. ”
The wise man replied with a smile.
He didn't smile, his gaze looked east, because there, there was a black fog stagnant.
"The Soul Tribe is here. ”
The wise man looked at him, his smile faded away, and his face turned cold.
This soul tribe has always been very weird, wandering the continent and collecting remnant souls.
Where there is war, where there is killing, there are them.
"The king of men is coming, too. ”
He glanced east again, and although he didn't see the human king, he knew that the human king was on his way.
The wolf rider's charge did not stop until it was in front of the enemy's army.
After showing off their might in front of the enemy for a while, and then slaying some of the enemies who had lost their horses and ran back in front of the battle, they returned.
"They didn't dare to attack. ”
At night, around the campfire, the wise man said.
He nodded, this did not surprise him, if he was an enemy, he would retreat while there were still enough people and return to the desert to avoid the result of the destruction of the entire army.
But the enemy apparently did not do so, and they chose to stay where they were, perhaps to discuss the question of where to stay.
"After the rout became like this, we only killed more than 500 people, and these enemies are really powerful. ”
Said the guard, the actual commander in the later stages of the battle.
"Individual combat effectiveness is much stronger than our ordinary fighters, and this gap needs to be made up for as soon as possible, otherwise the ...... will be carried out in an all-round way."
The thinker didn't go on, but the meaning was clear.
The morale of the people was a little low, they had caught the lone person before, and they fought alone, and none of the fighters could win.
"This is Hermes' revenge, and they will not go to war until the remnants of the Sage's knowledge are completely gone. ”
He didn't like the slump, and his words made everyone feel a little more energetic.
"What's more, Taichu has been studying how to improve his combat power, Zhao Xinghe, Zhuo Bai, and Hong Chong have all shown good abilities. ”
The latter sentence can be regarded as a complete morale boost, and the mention of these three little guys who are still babies has become much more confident.
Although the three babies couldn't even speak, they had already ignited the totem power early, and they also performed quite well in terms of aura absorption.
This is the future of the tribe, proving that the tribe will get better and better.
"I don't know what the three of them will become when they grow up. ”
The thinker sighed.
He is old, he may die before a few little ones grow up, and he is not a witch or a leader himself, and his soul is likely to be chaotic after entering the fairy world.
If that happens, he won't be able to see the future of the three little ones.
"It must be very powerful, not to mention them, just the golden wolf guy has performed well. ”
A guard from the wolf tribe said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, the combat effectiveness shown by werewolves was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"The mission of generation after generation, all we can do is to fight this battle, and the rest of the things will be done by young people. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd and go to rest.
"Does the marshal also think that Shouyuan is coming?"
Everyone left, but the think tank stayed behind and asked.
He shook his head and said, "Shou Yuan didn't feel it at the end, but it's true that his strength began to wane. ”
Over the years, his strength had been at its peak, but since the beginning of the war, he could clearly feel that his strength was decreasing.
The strength is decreasing, but Shou Yuan is still sufficient, so that he can't feel the time of death, and he doesn't know what the situation is.
There was a look of envy in the brain's eyes, and then he nodded and went back to his tent to rest.
He stood alone by the campfire for a while, watching the people of the Soul Tribe collect the souls of the enemies on the grassland in the dark.
He watched for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking, until late at night, when he went back to rest.
The next morning, he was woken up by a warrior.
"The enemy may be preparing to retreat?"
He rubbed his eyes, which were still a little sleepy, and looked at the warrior in front of him.
"Yes, they have gathered all the armored warriors to the west, either to attack us, or to retreat. ”
The warrior repeated what he had said before.
"Wait and see what happens. ”
After giving the military order, he got up to eat, and then went to the front camp to watch.
The reason why he dared to act was because these 10,000 soldiers had wolf riders, and they were not afraid of the enemy's surprise attack at all.
The advantage of cavalry is that it can be attacked when it advances, and it can run when it retreats.
"It's a retreat. ”
When they reached the front army, news came back that the enemy was not coming this way, but going straight to the desert.
"Stop them?"
The Thinker asked Kui.
He hesitated and thought for a while, but he finally shook his head.
Blocking the enemy is tantamount to cutting off their retreat, and will make the enemy burst out with the courage to fight to the death.
With the enemy's strong individual combat strength, his own damage will definitely be great, and he feels that at this moment, it is better not to fight.
"Tailgating, sending them away. ”
He then gave the order.
The military order was given, and the soldiers began to pack their things and prepare to follow, and at this time, another spy returned.
"The Soul Tribe blocked the enemy's retreat, as if it was ...... Prevent the enemy from leaving. ”
The spy said uncertainly.
He and his own brain looked at each other, and then the two of them walked forward together, heading straight for the battlefield over there.
Naturally, the guards followed, and then the army followed suit, and rushed over in a hurry.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the battle had not yet begun, but the confrontation between the two sides was very close.
The arrival of 10,000 wolf riders caused a commotion among the enemies, but then they hugged each other tightly and walked towards the Soul Tribe.
The enemy who has returned home really has an indomitable heart.
