278、Hump Fort Attack and Defense (17)
As soon as the battle began, the three centurians of the Manchado army pressed forward, and the aim of the spearmen phalanx and the sword and shield phalanx on the right was directed at the left flank of the Praley-Regulus coalition, which was the formation of Kasha's Prairly army and the Rogge Knights. Count Bilgard's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to use the absolute superiority of his own forces to destroy Kasha's troops in one go, and capture or kill Kasha alive. As for the Xuanyuan family's private soldier phalanx, it was blocked by the sword and shield phalanx on the left.
It was clear that the Manchado army had much more troops than the Prairly army. As soon as the two armies engaged, the spearmen and halberders of the Manchado army split the Prairly army in two with a single charge. If the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers who followed up with the attack pressed at this time, then the cut Prailly army phalanx would definitely be in danger due to the dispersion of troops. This was also Earl Bilgard's plan of attack at the beginning.
It's just that this plan can't be implemented before it has even begun.
The archers dispersed and fired a rapid projectile. Target - the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers on the right side of the Manchado army! ”
With Yang Qianyu's order, the alchemy archers phalanx located in the rear of the Prairly army's army launched a rain of arrows against the left flank sword and shield phalanx that Manchado's army followed up. Faced with the arrows falling like flying locusts, the sword and shield soldiers had to stop their march and form a shield formation on the spot to resist. Yang Qianyu also knew that letting the alchemy archers use ordinary attack methods against the enemy would have little effect, but his purpose was not to kill and injure but to delay the enemy, and not to let the sword and shield soldiers and the spear and halberd soldiers join forces to attack the Prareli army formation. Due to the fact that there was still a Prairly military array between him and the enemy army, in order to increase the range of the alchemy archers, Yang Qianyu also activated the sub-skill 'Strike Aura' that he temporarily learned from the Tree of Wisdom in the Sanctuary. Although in terms of his skill fit, he can only learn the 'Strike Aura' of Lv1 at the most, but the range blessing provided to the alchemy archers is more than enough to deal with this battle.
"Alas, it would be nice if Xue'er (Yang Lixue) was here." Yang Qianyu sighed in her heart: "It is more advantageous to command the archers or her 'Priest of the Moon' inheritance. But for now, she's still in retreat in the Sanctuary, so there's nothing she can do. ”
Because of the blocking and shooting of the alchemy archers, the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers failed to step forward in time to attack. The phalanx of spearmen who rushed into the Prairly army was suddenly caught in the dilemma of being attacked on both sides. The Lancer's Charge Thrust is indeed the best way to penetrate enemy lines (there are no formed cavalry in the world of Iber), but in the case of extremely close melee, a spear that is too long is not easy to use. Immediately, under the counterattack of the Prairly army on both sides, one fell.
"Haha! It's Wusak, you old fellow! "The Serpent Knight Hantes, who led the spearmen into the Prairly Army, faced Lord Woosack, one of the lords of the Prairly Lord. With a loud shout, the machete in his hand whistled and slashed diagonally at Woosak's neck.
"Hantes!" Not to be outdone, Lord Wussack recognized the man and swung his halberd to meet him. "You damn guy isn't dead yet?!"
"Haha! How could I die in front of you guy! "After the broadsword in Hantes's hand was blocked by Wusak's halberd, the two entered a wrestling state." You're disgusted with your poisonous mouth. That's why I punched my jaw back then. ”
"That's right, I'm impressed." was pulled out by Hantes about the old past, Wusak couldn't help but be angry, and the strength in his hand suddenly became three points stronger. "Especially every time I eat steak!" With that, Wusack slammed his arms and pushed Hantes, who was wrestling with him, a step backwards, and then thrust into the halberd. "Let me 'repay' you well this time!"
The battle between Wussack and Hantes was only a microcosm of the battle between the Prairly Army and the Manchado Army, and the two family forces had been hostile to each other for decades, and the mutual feud between them had long been resolved. It can only be solved on the battlefield of your life and death.
On the other side, the phalanx on the left side of Manchado's army also engaged the traversers.
In front of the alchemy swordsman's sword with spiritual energy attached, the shield in the hand of the Manchado soldier had no effect at all. Often, alchemy swordsmen can split thick hardwood iron shields in half with a single swing of their swords, and by the way, even the enemy soldiers holding the shield will be split in half.
More than forty alchemy swordsmen formed more than a dozen battle groups, alternating swords and slashing with each other, slaughtering the soldiers of the Manchado Army like a meat grinder. In just a few rounds, nearly half of the 100-strong team of the Manchado Army who fought with the Alchemy Swordsmen were killed or wounded.
Seeing this, the twelve Serpent Knights who accompanied the team were immediately anxious, and immediately joined the battle to turn the situation around, and at this time, the traversers also attacked, intercepting all the twelve Serpent Knights.
Shi Jinxin single-handedly swung his sword to stop two swordsmen who were using one-handed swords. Liu Tianyu blocked a swordsman who used a sword and shield combination. Nguyen Kun Peng goes head-to-head with a berserker who wields twin knives. Mi Zhansong confronts a berserker who wields a twin hammer. Ma Jun and Zhao Bin teamed up to deal with three spearmen who wielded spears or halberds. Wang Duo and Liu Dongxu worked together to intercept the next swordsman who wielded a two-handed heavy sword. Li Jifeng and Lu Yuan cooperate with each other to fight a hunter who uses a throwing gun. Fu Bin is assisted by Zhao Ke and Lu Yu against a gladiator who wields a one-handed axe and shield. Li Xiang, Zhang Boyin, and Chen Zhanying besieged the strongest of the giant snake knights they fought against - the berserker bald man '', who wielded two heavy hammers.
The battle was heated from the start.
"Crushing Rock!" The berserker who was fighting with Mi Zhan Song's face was flushed, and he screamed violently, and the war hammer in his right hand slashed through the air and smashed at Mi Zhan Song with a strange sound. The power of this hammer is like a 10,000-pound boulder crashing down, making people feel unable to resist. The long halberd in Mi Zhansong's hand suddenly stabbed like a poisonous snake, and the sound of 'Qiang' accurately stabbed at the edge of the war hammer. At the same time, he was seen to hit the smashed war hammer at the moment when the halberd touched the war hammer, and then the small branch of the halberd head stabbed diagonally into the opponent's neck. However, the opponent's reaction was also very fast, and while the warhammer in his right hand was blocked by Mi Zhansong, the warhammer in his left hand suddenly broke off and flew towards Mi Zhansong. The enemy's counterattack forced Mi Zhansong to withdraw his halberd to block the flying war hammer, and the opponent saw that he did not hit Mi Zhansong after throwing the war hammer, and did not blindly attack, but dragged the chain at the end of the war hammer to retract the war hammer. Prepare for another assault.
After Shi Jinxin blocked the slash of the swordsman on the opposite side, he returned his sword and slashed at the opponent's waist ribs, cutting a crack in the opponent's armor. However, just as he was about to continue his attack, another swordsman swung his sword next to him and unleashed a fighting spirit slash at Shi Jinxin. Shi Jinxin could only give up the pursuit of the opponent in front of him and dodge sideways. "Haha! There are two of us. You alone are no match for us! The swordsman who forced Shi Jinxin to retire laughed when he saw this. The numerical advantage is also the key to victory! "Really? Then I want to thank you for reminding me. Shi Jinxin smiled coldly when he heard this. Since I'm struggling to hit two or two, I might as well play three or two. As soon as the words fell, I saw Shi Jinxin's figure suddenly split into three, and then three identical 'Shi Jinxin' appeared in the battle group, attacking the two stunned enemies from three directions.
