Chapter 40: The Price of Crushing
The outermost platoon of heavy infantry took two steps in unison, sledgehammers raised high.
When the besieging soldiers were still about two meters away from their side, they only heard the heavy infantry shouting in unison: "Shock!"
The sledgehammer falls!
"Bang!"
The moment it came into contact with the flat dirt floor, the halo around the hammer surface flashed instantly!
Then, with the heavy infantry circle as the center, the earth shook like waves!
It was already much stronger than ordinary people, and with the weight of armor and shield weapons, the heavy infantry still stood there steadily!
But the besieging soldiers weren't so lucky!
Just as the spears were about to make contact with the heavy infantry shields, the ground shook and the waves reached their feet!
In the blink of an eye, the first two rows of soldiers were knocked to the ground by the sudden rise of the ground!
"Crackling" fell and turned on his back!
And the front row of heavy infantry, who had caused this disaster, immediately retreated, and the second platoon behind them took advantage of this gap to cross the first row and raise their sledgehammers again with their shields up!
"Shock!"
The sledgehammer is down again!
The third and fourth rows in the middle rushed forward again to form a row, and while trotting to the outermost part, the first row was also split into two rows, and the soldiers returned to the middle of the shield array!
After the second row of heavy infantry dropped the hammer, they caught the wave generated by the first row and retreated to the middle again!
As a result of this cycle, the ground of the entire cavalry training ground was constantly filled with waves of earth! Without making any physical contact with the soldiers surrounding them, they knocked all the enemies to the ground!
The Pope, the City Lord, and the others didn't expect this kind of result either, and "Hulala" hurriedly stood up and looked at the heavy infantry in the field as if they could suddenly summon the forces of nature!
I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! Originally designed to absorb shock and damage the enemy in the armor or other protective layers, the shock transmission function that was painstakingly added to the sledgehammer was actually used by this gentleman!
Looking at the more than 1,000 soldiers in the field who were on their backs and wailing all over the ground, I felt that the viewing platform under my feet also shook violently with the vibration of the ground!
The city lord of Forns turned his head to look at the Pope, who was also shocked and inexplicable, and the two looked at each other, both of them seeing shock and surprise in each other's eyes!
A word popped into my mind almost at the same time: "Didn't you send someone to teach you?"
Except for Lao Yu, who was always in the middle, the other heavy infantry divided into three waves, and two rounds of earthquakes in succession took less than 10 seconds to knock all the 1,500 people who rushed towards them to the ground!
On the dusty ground, there was no figure in sight for a while, but the wails reached the ears of the city lord and others one after another!
Taking a deep breath of the air with a heavy smell of dust, Lord Forns commanded Clarke, who was in a daze on the edge of the viewing platform in front of him, "Governor, immediately send medical personnel into the field to rescue! I don't want to see any of the soldiers die as a result, I believe your Excellency and I have the same thoughts!
Turning his head and looking at the Pope beside him again, the old man showed a look of concern on his face without reservation, and nodded: "Yes, Lord Ferns!"
Then he turned his head to look at the three black-clothed archbishops beside him and ordered, "There are also many brothers from the church there, send a priest to help!"
In second place, the fat black-clothed archbishop Francis, who was in charge of the daily management of the church, touched his chest and saluted, hurriedly trotted off the stage at a flexible speed that did not match his body size, and arranged for the medical pastor of the church to help!
When the dusk and thick dust slowly fell, and they could already vaguely see the scene in the field, everyone on the stage was surprised again!
I saw that the heavy infantry in the field was centered on the heavy infantry that had always maintained the formation, and all the soldiers besieging on all sides fell to the ground, but it seemed that there were no serious wounded!
At this time, 100 medical soldiers and church pastors who came from both sides rushed into the middle of the still dusty wounded with bandages and trauma medicine, and began to treat and bandage them!
Lao Yu, who was in the middle of the heavy infantry, saw the medical personnel coming, and once again shouted an order: "Put away your weapons and rest in place!"
"Boom! Click!" Raise your shield and stand upright, retract your hammer! Stand still with your legs slightly apart, and rest after maintaining a short rest!
Fifteen minutes later, the statistics were sent to the city lord of the viewing platform: "1,352 people were concussed, 739 people were scratched and bruised by their own weapons, and 52 people were fractured! No serious injuries! No deaths!"
Thinking about the statistics in his hand, the city lord of Forns frowned slightly. Then he glanced at the heavy infantry data in surprise, and raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "No damage?
A soybean-sized obsidian, five standard energies can only hit twice?
It looks like every time you hit the ground, it's the ultimate power!
No wonder!
Pick up the pen that rolled to the ground and put his name on it, and hand it back to Clark: "According to the original plan, let's take a break and move on to the next item!"
Clark led the order to step down, and the city lord of Forns sat back in his seat, looked left and right at the Pope and the others and teased: "This gentleman has surprised us too much!
The Pope smiled slightly: "Thank you for the praise of the city lord! I just hope we can see the gap from this! After all, Mr. Yu is only staying temporarily! In the future, it will depend on our own strength!"
When the city lord of Forns heard this, his face became serious for a while, what the Pope said was right!
In any case, Mr. Yu is not from Gaya City!
I'm not ready to join the Ash Mountain Church!
So, in this so-called competition, I still hope that I and others can find out where the gap is!
Thinking of this, Ferns turned his head and glanced at the city guards and magistrates who also heard the Pope's words, especially when he saw their expressions of shame and bowed their heads!
It's a pity that Mr. Yu and the two are about to leave!
Otherwise, we can learn more from him!
While he was thinking about it, the Pope's old and slow voice sounded again: "The day after tomorrow, the Gray Mountain Celebration, this group of heavy infantry will not be allowed to participate!"
The city lord of Fornes was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, what the lord said is! is it just the king?"
"Hmm!" the Pope muttered softly, "Let's perform for His Highness in private!
The Pope wants to hide it!
Everyone present understood what the old man meant for a moment.
Don't put gold on the table!
It's a proverb, but it expresses the Pope's meaning very well!
The city lord of Fornes and the other officials bowed their heads slightly: "Yes!
While everyone was talking, the field had been leveled out, and the dust had long since fallen to the ground again, and of course, the heavy armor of the heavy infantry soldiers!
From a distance, you can see that the artillery units on the other side are also ready!
Next, the assault is about to begin!
