Chapter 45: The Counterattack Begins!
Zhou Siyuan's eyes shrank, and he had clearly realized that the three hundred seemingly harmless soldiers who were not even equipped with weapons were definitely crossbowmen who were several times stronger than ordinary archers in attack power!
As a high-end weapon, crossbows are indeed a formidable piece of equipment, and when used correctly, they have the ability to influence a small area of battle, and it is difficult for any class to survive in front of them!
Zhou Siyuan's eyes gradually changed a little, and the gaze that looked at the shadow demon was no longer so resentful, but faintly sympathetic!
The Shadow Demon thought that he had the chance to win, and did not pay any attention to him in the slightest, and seeing that the troops in the east were ready, he smiled coldly and suddenly shouted, "Attack!" ”
With his shout, the middle-level non-commissioned officers on the eastern battlefield suddenly stopped hiding, and the first to strike was the more advanced sword and axe hands, they directly started a crazy attack, and the attack power that was already higher than that of the junior soldiers instantly increased dramatically, and they attacked and killed the shield-wielding militia in front of them.
The militiamen were naturally shield-wielding, and with their shields being strong, they had already defended against countless attacks, and this time was no different, although the tremendous force of the impact had taken them to the side, the opponent's weapon still had not broken through his thick defenses!
The Shadow Demon stared at that side, since it had been preparing for so long, it would definitely not end so easily!
At the same time that the shield infantry was deflected by the great force of the sword and axeman, the pikemen who followed closely behind them moved, and their spears instantly pierced out, and the angle was extremely tricky, bypassing the shield defense from the side, and stabbing fiercely on the iron armor of the shield-wielding militia!
The militia was caught off guard, and was immediately hit and took a step back, fortunately the iron armor on his body blocked most of the damage for him, and now although he was a wolf, there was no danger to his life, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, those knife and axe hands who had succeeded in one blow followed closely, they were outflanked from the side, and they had extremely fast attack speed under the crazy blow, and then the short knife and big axe were killed again, and they cut straight at the heads of the militiamen who had no iron armor defense!
The shield-wielding militia was continuously repulsed, and the center of gravity of the body was inevitably unstable, and now that they encountered such a surprise attack, they naturally could not resist it, and they were beheaded with a knife, and blood sprayed far away.
"Haha! Well done! "In just this moment, more than a dozen shield-wielding militia were slashed to the end, and their lives were whimpered, and the Shadow Demon was excited when he saw that it was done, and he commanded the troops to follow closely behind, and he was bound to widen this gap!
Wu pressed aside and roared again and again, he thought that he was invincible, and it was natural to defend one side, but he didn't expect the enemy to cheat and successfully break his defense, so what kind of face did he have to face other generals again?
After being busy, he looked back, although the battle situation in other places was also relatively fierce, but there was no critical situation, and the side he was responsible for was actually the first line of defense to be broken through!
"Your grandma's!" He slashed the enemy soldiers in front of him with a single sword, plugged the gap alone, and scolded: "The rats are deceitful, who dares to fight with me fairly?" ”
He stood alone in the field, facing the tens of millions of troops, his face did not change, but shouted and provoked, although he looked like a roe deer, but at this moment it was very powerful, those middle-level soldiers of the Shadow Rubik's Cube stopped one after another, not daring to step forward!
Even though he has been upgraded to a mid-level class, a pawn is always a pawn and is far from being an opponent for the general!
They don't want to die for no reason!
The Shadow Demon has been paying attention to the situation here, and naturally saw this scene, and the jealousy in his heart was even heavier: "It's really good luck to have such a brave and invincible, benevolent and righteous general!" ”
Then he sneered "hehe", and then thought: "But no matter how brave you are, you can't stop so many soldiers from slashing and killing at the same time, since you want to die yourself, then I will fulfill you!" ”
Thinking of this, the Shadow Demon yelled, "Before I die, I'll make you a ghost!" Stratagem is also a kind of strength, so why increase casualties if you can win easily? Besides, I am stronger than you now, so why do I need to tell you about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and why do I need to fight with you alone? If you have strength, you can run rampant, but you don't have strength. ”
Speaking of this, he changed his words, and his gloomy face was full of complacency: "If you don't have the strength, you deserve to be a mermaid, just like you are now, life and death are all in my hands!" But I think of your loyalty, courage and righteousness, and give you another chance to join the Lord, as long as you surrender to me now, I can not kill you, what do you think? ”
"Loyalty, bravery, benevolence?" Yang Lin in the distance rolled his eyes, the guy on the other side of the secret road was really a brain-dead?
What kind of virtue is Wu pressure, he Yang Lin is very clear, if he really wants to face the tens of millions of troops without any reliance, it is absolutely impossible, and at that time, it is estimated that this goods will run faster than anyone else!
In fact, the east side of the shield array was originally a trap, and the Storm Chaos Lord sent Wu to suppress and defend there, and deliberately only sent a small number of other soldiers to assist in the defense, in order to show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy's elite troops to attack, and then the 300 crossbowmen in ambush could calmly show their might and wipe out these elite soldiers, thus laying the victory!
These soldiers carried their crossbows behind their backs and covered them with leather armor, so that people who didn't know what they were in were not aware of at all, so they naturally thought they were bare-handed soldiers, so they were unguarded!
In fact, the Shadow Demon self-righteously concentrated the elite troops here, wanting to break through in one fell swoop, which was exactly in Zhang Fan's hands!
In fact, when those shield-wielding militiamen were slashed and killed, the crossbowmen had already taken off their weapons from behind, and just waited for Zhang Fan to give an order, they could shoot this group of people on the spot, so as to prevent future trouble!
Booby-trap this stalw, the next battle will undoubtedly be much easier!
Wu Jian naturally understands this strategic layout, he has full confidence in his master, and he is extremely relieved about the crossbowmen behind him, so he has the courage to put on a posture of being a husband, just to show off.
I didn't expect the coach on the other side to be really deceived by this guy, and he played a monkey show in the eyes of insiders, but I don't know if Wu Jian regarded the other party as a monkey, or regarded himself as the monkey?
Zhang Fan is also helpless about the disconnection of this person, this product often has unexpected actions, sometimes it may be self-defeating, and sometimes, it can also be crooked!
Originally, the middle-level soldiers of the Shadow Cube rushed to kill and were relatively scattered, but after his nonsensical blocking, the front row of soldiers stopped moving, but the back row of soldiers leaned in, and the distance between them was instantly shortened a lot, almost forming a situation of one person next to another, and this situation is the favorite of crossbowmen, a class with strong penetrating power!
"Get out of the way!" Zhang Fan yelled suddenly, and as soon as Wu Jian heard the lord's words, he immediately didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran to the side with his tail between his legs.
He is a little arrogant to other people on weekdays, but he is very in awe of Zhang Fan, almost obedient, and at this moment he heard Zhang Fan let him dodge, he really ran away.
"Ya can run faster than a rabbit, where is Fang Cai's invincible power?" Yang Lin raised his eyebrows and was speechless again.
"Crossbowman, three-stage shot!" Seeing that Wu pressure was running away, Zhang Fan had no scruples, and immediately gave the order to attack.
The crossbowmen have been preparing for a long time, they are standing in three rows, 100 people in each row, at this moment hearing Zhang Fan's command, the soldiers in the first row immediately pulled the trigger and shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, after the attack was completed, they immediately squatted, to make room for the attack of the colleagues in the back row, the crossbowmen in the second row painted the gourd, and also shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands, and then the third row, these people paused slightly, and each changed the direction of the attack, which unhurriedly released the attack!
Three hundred crossbow archers completed this series of attacks in three parts!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
A series of breaking sounds sounded, like the call of death, sharp and poignant, making people's scalps tingle.
The mid-level soldiers under the command of the Shadow Demon were caught off guard and couldn't react at all, and in an instant, countless people fell to the ground with arrows, and the dead bodies lay on the ground.
The attack power of the peasant crossbowman equipped with the crude crossbow is 6-8, and with the bonus of 5 points from Zhou Cang, the total attack power reaches a terrifying level of 11-13, and it also adds an additional 2 penetration, which is enough to make anyone feel terrified!
The general defense of a mid-level non-commissioned soldier is 2 points, and the 1 point of defense that is better than nothing in leather armor is only a mere 3 points, so where can you defend against the attack of crossbow arrows? Coupled with the fact that they are too close to each other, a single crossbow arrow can often take the lives of 3-4 people!
Three rows of crossbowmen, the first of which caused the most horrific casualties, annihilating more than 400 enemies!
The second-row crossbowmen deal slightly lower damage, but more than 300 people have been killed, while the third-row crossbowmen are mainly responsible for killing fish that have slipped through the net, and the damage is lower.
If the overall liquidation is settled, these three hundred crossbowmen will actually take the lives of eight or nine hundred people in one round of collective attack, and less than one percent of the elite soldiers of the Shadow Cube will survive for thousands of people, and the rest will all be killed, no one exception!
The arrow comes out, the heavens and the earth are shocked, and the ghosts and gods cry!
"It can't be!" The Shadow Demon's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, he was swearing to reduce the pressure one moment, but the next moment he found that the hole cards he relied on had disappeared, this qiē happened too fast, making him a little foggy.
Zhang Fan has made a precise layout for this, naturally it will not end so hastily, the real counterattack has just begun!
Zhou Cang, Sun Li, Yang Lin and Yan Yang quickly solved the enemy in front of them, and led the troops to rush straight to the gap in the east, where the enemies were almost emptied by crossbow arrows, and now there are only a few small fish and shrimp left on the field, naturally they can't stop the attack of the four fierce generals, they burst out very lightly, and the shield-wielding militia who were originally guarding the surroundings also followed closely behind them, and the previous circular array instantly disintegrated, turning into a poisonous snake shape, and rushed straight to the place where the shadow demon was.
That's where the commander of the enemy army is, capture the thief, first capture the king!
"Art of War: Divine Walk!" Changing formations in the face of the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, the shield-wielding militia ran around and turned the empty door was exposed, and the Shadow Magic Cube soldiers who were close to them were trying to take the opportunity to slash them, and suddenly the silver-white light on these people shone brightly, and the movement speed actually soared, and they were far away in an instant, and these soldiers had no target to attack, so they could only look around blankly, and chase after them.
Zhou Cang is the real martial arts invincible, he rushed to the front of the team at the moment, and broke a bloody road among countless enemy troops, Yang Lin, Sun Li, and Yan Yang followed, and they also rose up and killed wantonly.
There is no general in the army of the Shadow Demon, and he can't stop Zhou Cang's rush at all, ordinary soldiers are like ants in his eyes, and they can't pose a threat at all, and the army of more than 1,000 people under his leadership is like a bamboo, and no one can stop it, and they quickly approach the place where the Shadow Demon is!
All of them were in Zhang Fan's grasp, and this time he made a stroke of genius, so that the crossbowman's attack was played perfectly, and he naturally did not hesitate to praise him, and said with a smile: "Good job!" ”
Wu Zhu ran far away just now, and now he is hanging tightly at the back of the team, and when he heard this compliment, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and actually stopped strangely.
Seeing someone stop, the Shadow Demon Cube soldiers who were chasing behind him immediately shouted and rushed over, but before they could rush closer, someone noticed the abnormality, and it was not an ordinary cavalry who stopped moving, but a general!
"Huh? Isn't this guy the unparalleled fierce general who was in charge just now? ”
"Yes, yes! It's him, just now he blocked countless middle-level soldiers with the strength of one person, and his strength is strong! ”
"What do you know? When I got closer, I clearly saw that this person just smiled faintly, and with a wave of his hands, infinite crossbow arrows shot out, shooting those high-ranking middle-level soldiers on the spot! That majesty, ancient and modern! ”
These soldiers just saw a rough idea, as junior soldiers, they were not the opponents of generals at all, and at this moment they saw that the pressure was stopped in the middle of the road, and they didn't know why, they thought they were going to intercept them after the break, and they would be so confident, and they must be amazing!
These people don't want to die, so they want to find a step for themselves, so as not to kill innocents, at this time they rushed closer, and suddenly found that Wu Zhu's face showed a **** smile from time to time, and this time he was even more panicked, thinking that this guy would not be waiting for him to attack, so that he could kill them one by one, right?
"Look!" A soldier pointed to the **** on his face, and shouted in horror: "Just now he smiled like this before he killed the middle-level soldier, it's really terrifying!" ”
"Then what are you waiting for, don't provoke this person, let's take a detour to pursue!"
At that moment, these soldiers were frightened in their hearts, and they all bypassed the pressure far away and chased forward.
Seeing that Wu Zhu was still indifferent, these soldiers wondered in their hearts while running: "This guy looks stupid, does he really have unparalleled martial arts?" ”
Then they shook their heads violently, what about bravery, what if they were not brave?
People are generals, they are just a small soldier, or the lowest level of small soldiers, how can they be other people's opponents?
In fact, he really thought wrong, when he heard Zhang Fan's praise, he was overwhelmed, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't care about the situation around him, at this time, a random feather arrow could take his life, and a random sword could cut off his head!
But how could it be that the Shadow Demon's army of archers had been wiped out by the White Horse Righteous Army, and these soldiers were afraid to step forward, so they let this thing magically escape?
After a long time, the black pressure immersed in joy finally came back to his senses, he looked around, and was suddenly stunned: "What about those people just now?" Why is it gone? ”
Now he is just lonely, a person, a gun, a horse standing on the spot, there is no living person around except the dead body, the cool breeze blows from the front, bringing an endless smell of blood, he looks into the distance, and suddenly sees his lord leading the team to rush to kill, is rapidly approaching the center of the enemy army, although the enemy soldiers around are numerous, but none of them can stop a bit!
The blood flashed, and the enemy soldiers who were blocking the way screamed and fell to the ground, and the heart of the black pressure was surging, and he yelled "The lord is waiting for me", and he wanted to rush forward to help immediately.
At this moment, an urgent roar suddenly came from not far away, and his voice was hoarse, which made his eager steps stop.
"General go slowly!"
