Outside the carriage, there was tension, and a small group of mercenaries at the outermost level raised their shields to form a circle, and the mercenaries who were attacking with swords and broadswords in the back were also on guard, surrounding and protecting the carriage behind them.

The original center of the convoy was the first to be retracted at this time, and the carriage that was originally in the middle position was still in the center of the encirclement.

"I'll go out and have a look." Ciel pulled out the red staff from the weapon mark, looked excited, put on her shoes, opened the car door, and walked out.

"Master Xiaoxi, aren't you going to take a look? I remember that you are also a mercenary, and hiding in a carriage in battle is not what a mercenary should do, even if you are only temporary. Ai Li didn't feel any restraint at all because she had worshiped Tong Xi as her master, but took the initiative to make a joke about Tong Xi.

"It's okay, it's okay, I believe in my partners, they'll be fine." Tong Xi didn't care about the other party's jokes, and responded with a smile.

"Well...... Although Xiao Xi, as a student of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, must be suitable for fighting, but the scene of flesh and blood flying in a fight is indeed not very suitable for Master Xiao Xi, and it is more appropriate for Master Xiao Xi to stay here. Ai Li said, but seemed to feel that there was something slightly wrong in her sentence, and immediately added, "Master Xiaoxi, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong." ”

Tong Xi smiled and waved his hand, signaling the other party not to care, "...... words"

"Huh?" Elle tilted her head slightly to indicate that she was listening.

"Since you already call me 'Master Xi'...... Why add a 'small'? ”

"Because Master Xiaoxi is indeed very 'small'!" Ellie's expression was a matter of course.

"But isn't Elle worried about the battle outside? It's about our own lives. Tong Xi asked curiously.

"I'm worried, but I've seen a lot of this kind of scene when I'm out of the house, and besides, what's the use of worrying about me now? I'm not a saint-level master, I can control the battle situation by myself, so it's better to stay honest and at ease than to be in a hurry. ”

……

Compared with the relaxation inside the carriage, the atmosphere outside the carriage is extremely tense, even if it is certain, but in the face of the surprise attack of the enemy who far outnumber their own side, I believe that few people will not have any psychological pressure at all.

Besides, this kind of team battle with hundreds of people, even if it wins, no matter which side it is, there will always be casualties, and no one knows if they can survive, even if they win......

If there was anyone present who was the most relaxed, it should be Bowen and his party.

Although with the strength of Bowen and several people at the seventh level, it is really reluctant to face the more than two hundred people who are also mixed with sixth-level martial artists on the other side at the same time, after all, there is always a time when the fighting qi is consumed, and with the consumption of the fighting qi and the fatigue of the body, the martial arts magicians will have flaws and even a decrease in combat effectiveness, and the other party can use the number of people to pile up, and wait until the fighting qi consumes a part of the high-level people to let the high-level people go up.

If it weren't for the difference in cultivation too much, they would all face the problem of this kind of decline in the strength of fighting energy.

This is like a professional long-distance runner competing with an ordinary adult on the track, and the ordinary adult can take turns to change people, so even if the professional athlete can run again, after changing a few rounds or even a dozen rounds, the professional athlete's physical strength will decline or even be unable to run, until he is caught up by an ordinary adult.

But if you replace ordinary people with ordinary children, then no matter how many waves ordinary children replace, it is impossible to catch up with professional athletes, because people have short calves and weak physical strength, resulting in children's running speed is equal to the walking speed of professional athletes......

Although this analogy is not completely reasonable, it probably means that only when the strength is not very far apart can the high-level martial artists be forced to consume their fighting energy and exert the effect of wheel warfare. The difference in strength is too far, and the consumption of the opponent's fighting spirit can't catch up with the opponent's recovery speed, of course it's useless.

They can't defeat a team of more than 200 people, but the other side can't help them either.

After all, Xiu Wei is a cut above the other party, and if he has no intention of fighting and fleeing, he can't keep them just by numbers.

In addition, which of them does not have some life-saving hole cards on Bowen and Xi'er? It is estimated that just taking out the magic scroll on his body can kill the other party.

Originally, there was no need to worry about life without relying on external forces, coupled with the life-saving hole cards on his body, so Bowen and the others can be said to be one of the few relaxed people in the field.

At this time, the solemnity on the faces of Bowen and the others was just trying to substitute himself into the role of a mercenary and feeling this "battle of life and death" with his heart.

I believe that they will not easily use the life-saving hole cards brought over, after all, when they go out, they always think that they can't die and practice a fart.

At a distance of 500 meters, even the "infantry" of the thief regiment was only a few positions behind the more than fifty "cavalry" in front, but in a few breaths, the "cavalry" at the front was already about to be killed, and it seemed that they were about to make contact with the mercenaries holding shields along the outermost defense line.

"Spear ready! Go out! As Captain Rooney raised his sword and roared, another squad that was standing behind the shield-raising members with spears in their hands quickly poked their spears out of the gaps between the shields, holding the spears in the middle with both hands, and the tail end of the spear was also diagonally inserted into the ground behind them to play a part of the role of support.

This kind of coordination between "heavy armor shield soldiers" and "spearmen" is actually one of the very common formations to deal with cavalry.

In this world, which is still in the "cold weapon age", cavalry is still the "most powerful" class, at least in this world, the assault power of cavalry is the strongest among all arms.

The unstoppable effect of the cavalry's surprise attack can easily tear apart the opponent's lineup, and its unstoppable momentum makes its position in battle unshakable.

Correspondingly, in the face of cavalry, various countermeasures have also appeared one after another, such as digging trenches or something, burying traps or something, and at this time, the Eagle Mercenary Regiment has no time to arrange trenches, so this defensive lineup combining shield soldiers and spearmen can be said to be the best countermeasure at the moment.

Although the impact of the cavalry is powerful, it is difficult to stop the cavalry in the charge, but in the face of the long spear sticking out, the cavalry that collides with it will also lose a lot.

Of course, the loss of cavalry does not mean that the charge will fail, on the contrary, even if the spear can deal damage to the cavalry in the front row, the ensuing impact, avoiding the impact of the spear hitting the shield, will definitely tear a hole in the lineup.

Once the entire lineup is torn apart, it will be difficult to adjust it back in the battle, and the thief infantry who will follow behind will also follow this gap, so the entire mercenary group will still face a big melee with no lineup to speak of.

Consume the opponent's cavalry with the combination of shield soldiers and spearmen, and then the archers in the back continue to attack the enemy at the same time, as much as possible before the opponent's surprise attack arrives, before the melee begins.

Since the scuffle is inevitable, try to consume a little more combat power before the melee, and the command of Commander Rooney can not be faulted.

The sound of horses' hooves, the screams of thieves who fell to the ground during the attack, the shouts of killing, the humming of the longbow, and the shouts of Captain Rooney, "Mad's archers, hurry!" Buy time to shoot him one more round! The shield squad in front is ready! The spear squad is all for me to hold on to the guys in my hands! ”

The mix of sounds is very noisy.

It can be said that everyone knows that no matter how good their lineup is, the cavalry will eventually scatter the shield squad in front, which is also the strength of the cavalry, there are no fortifications, unless the strength is too far apart, otherwise it is difficult to stop it with manpower alone.

Neither the mercenaries with their shields bowed nor the mercenaries with spears in their hands could see the enemy in front of them, the view in front of them had been blocked by the high shields, and they could only hear the sound of rapidly approaching horses' hooves and shouts of killing, and they could only hold their weapons soaked in sweat and nervously wait for the oncoming impact.

"Kill!" The bald boss and the strongest of the thieves took the lead, brandishing a machete and charging forward, the first to make contact with the outermost shield squad.
