Chapter 457: The First Legion Faces the Skeleton Army
Ringer's skeletons were divided into six large phalanxes, centered on Ringer and the Neven Cavalry, swinging out on either side.
Behind the skeleton army, Xiao Jing and 10,000 skeleton cavalry waited for the opportunity in the back, and gave the opponent a blow when the enemy was not looking!
Li Poyu's army was constantly changing, on both sides of the army was composed of more mobile sword and shield men and archers, and in the sky there were griffin knights, which looked like a group of upside-down geese.
Lin Ge took a closer look, this seemed to be the goose-shaped formation in the art of war that Yu Haiping gave him, Lin Ge had seen it for a while, and he had tried to use it a lot.
It was the first time in the New World that he had seen someone use such a formation.
"All the troops press!" Ringer led the army to press up at full speed, the speed of the skeleton soldiers was the same, and the corpse witch knight and skeleton war horse were deliberately slower.
The cavalry needed to charge to be the most powerful, and Ringer and the Corpse Witch fell behind, allowing the skeletons to rush first.
Li Poyu looked at the skeleton army that rushed over neatly, it was the first time he saw such a neat army, the other party rushed over, and his flanks were definitely the key targets of the other party.
"Let the griffin knight attack!" After Li Poyu said to the herald, he looked at the skeleton army that rushed over quickly, this area outside the crystal fortress is very large, and it can allow the goose-shaped formation to be laid out, of course, no matter how many skeleton troops there are, he is sure that he will be entangled with the enemy again!
His strength is more than that, if only he had a little more cavalry troops!
Li Poyu looked at the thousand cavalry beside him, these were still what he begged for a long time with An Qi.
"Let's go!" Li Poyu led his Chinese army forward slowly, the armies on both sides dispersed quickly, and the skeleton soldiers in the dark city were advancing in a huge phalanx, if they wanted to attack the armies on both sides, the skeleton phalanx would definitely disperse.
The skeleton soldiers on the far sides were already very close to the sword and shield men and archers on the two sides, and there were only less than three hundred meters left!
When the skeleton soldiers saw those enemies, the huge phalanx immediately turned into five small phalanxes, and three of the skeleton soldiers killed the enemies on both sides!
The soldiers of the First Legion on either side stood by with their bows fully drawn and hurled into the sky, allowing their arrows to fly farther and attack the skeletons earlier, allowing them to attack a little more often.
"For the Holy Maiden!" "Bang!" Bang! "Bang!" ...
The sword and shield man shouted, the knife in his hand and the wooden shield clapped together with a neat sound, and the skeleton soldiers rushed up without a single formation.
The sword and shield men were very particular about their positions, and there was a distance of one meter between each of them, and behind them stood the archers, who had spears beside them.
There is a strict distinction between the various types of troops on the Hero Continent, archers are archers, spearmen are spearmen, and the Holy Virgin City is also like this, but after the Holy Virgin City came into contact with the City of Light, they began to learn the City of Light and began to multi-class.
The spearmen are very strong in combat, but if they are in close combat by the enemy, the spear will change from an advantage to a disadvantage, and if a new type of attack and defense is added to the spearmen, interspersed in the spearmen phalanx, the spearmen will also be protected when they are close to the enemy.
In this way, the sword and shield soldiers appeared, and the sword and shield soldiers appeared originally to protect the spearmen, but after the advantages of the sword and shield soldiers in the back were reflected, they became an independent force.
Li Poyu in the Holy Maiden City has long been dissatisfied with the rigid troops, and after the City of Light began to reform, he also learned from the City of Light to reform his own troops.
He requires his soldiers to know a little bit no matter what kind of weapon they have, and archers are also in the requirements, archers are very expensive to train as a long-range class, and the requirements for them Li Poyu are even higher, not only to train bows and arrows every day, but also to learn to use spears!
The Shieldmen protect them, but they can't watch from behind when they're fighting the enemies that rush at them!
At this time, they can attack the enemy with spears under the protection of the sword and shield men, and the space left by the sword and shield men is reserved for them.
The archers of the First Legion are all of high rank, with an average level of five or above, and the long arrows they shoot are attached to them.
The skeleton soldiers first enjoyed the hospitality of the arrow rain on the way to charge, and those long arrows with fighting spirit easily pierced the bones of the skeleton soldiers.
At first, the skeletons ignored the archers' arrows, and after hundreds of skeletons were impaled through the skulls by long arrows, the skeletons charged towards the enemy with their bone knives blocking the skulls.
The armies on both sides were about to collide, and Ringer and the corpse witch cavalry began to speed up.
"Kill!" When the distance between the sword and shield and the skeleton soldier was only five meters, he rushed towards the skeleton soldier with a wooden shield and steel knife.
The Blade and Shield Bearer first used his wooden shield against the skeleton's bone knife, and then slashed at the skeleton's skull.
The lethal point of the skeleton soldier is the skull, if you can't cut the skeleton's skull, cut the joint.
In front of the skeletons, the sword and shield men form a shield wall in front of the skeletons, and the sword and shield men a little behind pick up the spears on the ground and rush to the front to stab the skeletons!
The archers are unhurriedly shooting their own arrows!
The armies on both sides blocked the attack of the skeleton soldiers, and Ringer knew at a glance that this was the case, the soldiers of the First Legion were all of high rank, about five levels higher than the average level of the defenders of Crystal Fortress and Southern Sky City.
These skeleton soldiers under Ringer, except for the personal guard army, most of the skeleton soldiers have only experienced the battle of Nantian City, and they can fight against the defenders of Nantian City and Crystal Fortress, or rely on the blessing of Ringer's heroic four-dimensional attributes.
Now that they have encountered the first legion of the Holy Maiden City with a higher level, attributes, and number than themselves, it is very good that these skeleton soldiers can block it!
Ringer glanced at the army of skeletons behind him, and the army of skeletons that did not move behind slowly rushed towards the front.
Xiaojing led the skeleton guards to the rear of the army, and there was an enemy behind who wanted to copy Ringer's rear road, and there were quite a few of them, about 20,000 horses.
Li Poyu, who had already entered the battlefield, did not know that Linger had mobilized the army, and Li Poyu rushed towards Linge's corpse witch cavalry with the most elite troops of the First Army.
"Whew!" Griffon knights swooped down from the sky towards the army of skeletons on the ground!
"Squeak!" As soon as the griffon army moved, a piercing sound was heard in the black clouds above the Crystal Fortress, and countless bats flipped their wings and rushed towards the griffin knights!
The army of bats was like a small dark cloud, rushing towards the griffin knights, and the griffin knights' army did not care about the battle on the ground, and many of the half-rushed griffin knights pulled the griffons into the sky.
