Chapter 2: Encounter with the Demon Army
The members of the Silver 6 team were sent to Longxi, where they needed to support their legions in battle.
A powerful demon army has been assembled in the west.
When facing the powerful hero units of the demons, ordinary soldiers have little power to fight back, and can only use the same hero units to contend with them. In order to defend the important town of Tianshui, a large number of silver and bronze hero squads were urgently stationed here to assist the defenders in defense.
The search for Mengqi can only be temporarily entrusted to the investigators in Chang'an City.
According to the order of Li Guangbi, the general of Longxi Town, Bai, Daji, and A Ke formed a rapid response team. Cheng Zhijie, Luban No. 6, and Zhao Zilong were strengthened to the three main roads in the south, north, and middle of the defense line.
Outside the tall city walls, the Tianshui defenders set up two arc-shaped lines of defense to block the attack of the demon army, each line was guarded by a large number of soldiers and hero units, and heavy turrets and energy crystals were arranged to strengthen the defense line.
"Captain White Cavalry, the quick response team of the three of you is deployed behind Zilong, and together with the reserves, sweep away the enemy troops who are sneaking up through the drillers." General Li pointed to the map and said, "We have three more bronze squads in depth, you can ask for their support if necessary." Remember, each counterattack must not be too far from the position. ”
"Whoa!" Li Bai replied respectfully: "It's just that our army's defense line is in an arc, although it is tight and thick, there is still room for detours at both ends. What should I do if the demons flank me? ”
General Li nodded: "Our army is backed by Qinzhou, there is no need to stretch the defense line excessively, even if the demon army detours from the flank with heavy troops, our army can retreat under the city wall in an orderly manner." This time, the demon army is menacing, and in order to ensure the smooth construction of the city, we cannot dilute the frontal forces in order to form a comprehensive defense. ”
"Understood, I'll go ahead immediately." Bai waited for the three of them to salute and took their leave.
……
"Oops, it's only been a long time, and the people in the team are about to change." Daji stretched her waist as she walked, "Sister Hua and Zhaojun are not here, Zhuang Zhou and Luna are injured, and Mengqi is also missing, obviously it is two teams, and now there are only 6 people." ”
"War, that's normal." Ah Ke sorted out the accompanying packages as he walked, and hung the dagger and battle equipment on his belt one by one.
Qinzhou City is located on the edge of the mountain range, guarding the main road to Chang'an City, and there is a river flowing less than 20 miles to the west of the city. The first line of defense was set up along the river. Bai and the others quickly reached the central position, standing beside Zhao Zilong, the leader of the defensive line.
Thousands of burly and hideous monsters were howling and rushing down the river, wading towards the opposite bank.
"Don't you fire yet?" Ah Ke looked at Zhao Yun with some doubts, this heroic silver-armored general looked indifferent, as if it was not a fierce demon army rushing towards him, but a friend with ordinary friendship to visit the door.
"It's just a waste of troops." Zhao Zilong observed the situation of the enemy army, "Listen to my orders and then open fire, and wait for the enemy to come ashore." ”
With huge hooves, goats' heads, black manes, and tomahawks and shields, these monsters rushed haphazardly into the icy river more than a meter deep, and their speed immediately slowed down.
A large number of soldiers from the Zhongtang Dynasty watched the monster charge not far from the shore, neither shooting arrows nor firing artillery, which was strange quietly.
As the first monster howled and jumped onto the shore, dozens of monsters also struggled out of the river, and before they could shake off the water on their bodies, they raised their tomahawks and pounced.
"Don't you attack yet?" Daji saw that there were more and more demon troops, and a third of them had already rushed ashore, and the demon army at the front was already about to rush to the front of the government soldiers.
"Don't be in a hurry, ......don't worry" Zhao Yun even stole a cup of tea for himself and drank it in small sips.
"Kill all these humans, chew up their bones!" The leader of the demon army in the lead was like a huge black sheep, it roared wildly, and a shield array that accelerated towards the opposite government soldiers.
"Half of the enemy forces have crossed the river, and half are still in the river." A smile tugged at the corner of Bai's mouth, "Is it now?" ”
"It's now," Zhao Zilong and Bai looked at each other and smiled, then raised his spear and ordered in a loud voice: "Aim at the shore and fire three volleys!" ”
"Boom!" The artillery on the position fired a volley, and the fireball flew past the demon soldiers who were ready to meet the fire, and flew behind them under their surprised gaze.
"Shhh The demon army on the shore wailed, burned to the ground in the cover of fireballs.
"Don't hold back! For the master! The demon commander roared, beckoning his subordinates who were stunned to continue the charge.
"They're coming." Zhao Yun picked up the helmet and put it on his head, "Are you interested in walking with me?" White, you can stay here and command. ”
Daji nodded: "Okay, okay!" Bai and Ke, you stay here, I'll go up and try my skills. ”
The heavily armed soldiers had already waited solemnly, and they raised their heavy shields side by side, forming a wall of silver shields.
"Steady! Steady! The sergeants with feathers in their helmets cheered up the privates in the front row, "Wait for them to crash!" ”
Hundreds of demon warriors accelerated in front of the formation, their hooves whirring and crashing into them with the loud sound of a landslide and a crack.
"Steady!"
"Boom!" The soldiers of the two armies in the first row collided, and the battlefield was suddenly silent for a thousandth of a second, followed by the roar of people on their backs.
Several demon warriors and their commanders knocked over the first row of human soldiers, relying on their strong physical advantage to immediately stabilize themselves, and then put away their axes, and a good human head fell into their hands.
"One blood!" The commander of the demon army raised the head of a Zhongtang Mansion soldier and shouted, "Kill!" ”
A large group of demon soldiers swarmed in, but by this time their speed had slowed down. The remaining first-row soldiers took two steps back, forming a new shield wall with the second-row soldiers, and then the demon army crashed into it.
This time, the demon army couldn't break through the shield wall. No matter how much they slashed with their knives and axes, scratched with their claws or gnawed with their teeth, they could not gnaw at the metal defenses.
The soldiers wearing iron helmets hid behind the giant shields, calmly looking at the demons who were dancing their teeth and claws at a distance of dozens of centimeters.
"Steady!" The sergeants also looked at the demons roaring outside the shield, and had no intention of attacking.
After letting the demon army make a fuss for a while, Zhao Yun nodded: "Replace!" ”
"Replace!" As the sergeants whistled, the soldiers in the third row raised their battle shields and sideways to replace the soldiers in the front row.
The demon soldiers were desperately beating the shield wall in front of them, and when they saw a new column of shields rushing up and replacing the already potholed shield wall, they immediately lost their morale.
"Almost." Zhao Yun observed the situation: "Modao, step forward." ”
Hundreds of sturdy warriors in heavy armor strode forward with long knives as tall as one man. The shield wall in front of them was withdrawn, and the demon soldiers were immediately overjoyed, but before they could charge, the cold light and glittering Mo knife blade roared down.
Whether it is wearing heavy armor or a burly man, he is the one who makes a decision in front of this Mo knife blade.
The energy shield on the demon soldier's body shimmered with a dark red light, and it was torn apart in an instant. There were flying severed limbs and blood splattering everywhere in front of the formation, and the demon warriors who were still screaming and fighting were hit head-on, and the defense line suddenly became turbulent.
"The morale of the enemy has fallen." Zhao Zilong immediately pointed straight ahead with a gun, "Follow me to break the enemy!" ”
A column of white-horse cavalry followed behind their commander, bypassing the battle line and rushing straight to the center of the demon army, like a silver sharp knife sweeping in all directions, and the demon army was instantly crushed.
