Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shield Striker

"Resist with all your might!" Leonidas stood in the front line, withstanding the first round of attacks from the Persian soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Under the leadership of the king, 300 warriors withstood the onslaught of hundreds of soldiers.

In the eyes of mercenaries who understand the plot, this is the most normal thing, but in the eyes of Yun Qi, who has a talent for insight, it is not the same thing at all.

Because he knew that the Persian soldiers who attacked in the first round were no ordinary soldiers.

Persian shield strikers! Similar to the cavalry that galloped on the battlefield hundreds of years later, it was specially trained by the Persian Emperor to break through the enemy's battle formations.

In addition to its high stats, the Shield Striker also comes with a shield specialization, which is the best ability to resist attacks.

Once the Shield Strikers are formed, it will be costly to fend off their first wave of Shield Strike.

What's more, the Shieldsman is a second-order soldier!

Shield Ram is an offensive and defensive ability, although it is more focused on defense, but the number of people who use it is more than 100 people, that is a different scenery.

Hundreds of shield strikers overlapped layer by layer, and their forces continued to stack up in such situations.

When the quantity exceeds a certain limit, then there will be a qualitative leap.

Even if the Persians stood in the way of a giant elephant, they could overthrow them to the ground with the strength of hundreds of men.

On the battlefield, what is really terrible is the whole force!

Before the cavalry was on the battlefield, shield tactics were the basis for the invincibility of the Persian army.

Not only how many kingdoms' main forces were torn open by the first round of shield strikers, and then they were swallowed up and annihilated by the army behind.

This time, it was the turn of the Greeks to taste the Persian shield fighters.

Fortunately, the Spartans were brave and skilled in fighting against them, and under the command of King Leonidas, the royal guards used heavy brass shields to block the opponent's "shield impact" skill.

This is the exclusive ability of the Spartan warrior, the shield block!

Directly counteract the impact of the shield impact!

And it didn't end there, when Sparta's feet stopped retreating, Leonidas gave the order: "Ready! ”

The command was so simple that it didn't say anything redundant, but it made the Spartan warrior's body react instinctively in the midst of difficult resistance.

Their muscles bulged to the limit, and they built up their strength to the top.

When Leonidas gave the order to "push", the warriors standing on the front line of the battle formation made a "shield" movement almost at the same time!

It's exactly like what they did on the training ground.

At this moment, the Persian shield fighters have exhausted the blessing of hundreds of meters of charge, and it can be said that they are now in a state where the new force has not been born and the old force has been exhausted.

Being "swung" by the heavy and sturdy shield, the soldiers standing at the forefront were immediately taken back three steps by the infinite force.

The stalemate has thus fundamentally changed.

The shield striker was immediately overwhelmed, and the oak shield that had been protecting him in front of him was also deflected by the great force.

In normal times, this small flaw is nothing, but in the fierce battle between the two sides, a small flaw is enough to kill.

The Spartans, who were born to fight, could not miss the fatal flaw of the enemy, they had long known that raising their shields would inevitably lead to this result, and the steel spears in their hands pierced out like poisonous snakes, piercing through the bodies of shield strikers.

The blood soon stained the bodies of these battle-hardened shield fighters.

At the moment of life and death, blocking, raising shields, and stabbing straight are done in one go, and the cruelty of the battlefield is fully interpreted.

Life, in a matter of seconds, was judged!

The spear, which is mainly aimed at stabbing, pierces the body of the shield striker, piercing the sharp and bloody spear tip into the body of the shield striker in the back row.

One hit, two lives, this is the strength of the Spartan warriors!

And like King Leonidas, and his loyal love general Eli, he pierced the three of them with one blow.

After stabbing to death all the shield strikers in the front row, the warriors, led by Leonidas, retreated in an orderly manner, and at this moment, they were already sweating and heavily clothed.

And the void left by their retreat was quickly filled by the warriors behind them.

Retreating, filling, a series of movements are simply seamless, which is difficult to achieve so perfectly without hundreds of drills.

In this way, blocking, raising shields, stabbing attacks, and changing defenses, a few 300 Spartan warriors kept repeating the same movements like a machine, reaping the lives of the famous Persian shield fighters.

When nearly half of the 1,000-shield fighters fell, the morale of these brave and skilled Persian soldiers finally collapsed, and they no longer had the courage to fight the Spartans, who were inferior to their own numbers, and fled one after another.

Seeing the defeat of the enemy, the cautious Leonidas did not order a pursuit, but asked the soldiers to get out of the way, and the coalition of Greek cities led by mercenaries pursued the shield fighters who had fled into the desert.

Soon, the remaining 500 shield fighters were killed by more than a hundred miscellaneous soldiers, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

Half of the dead and wounded were caused by crowding and stampeding each other while fleeing in a panic.

This battle is a wonderful victory!

The morale of the Greek side was high and everyone was smiling, especially the mercenaries, who had limited contribution in this battle, that is, they were only acting as shield fighters who chased and lost resistance.

However, there were two people who did not have any post-victory excitement.

One of them was King Leonidas, and the other was Yunqi.

To others, winning the battle was simple.

However, if the Leonidas who knew the whole process had not occupied the narrow terrain of the Hot Spring Pass, which could only accommodate 50 people walking side by side, then this battle would have to pay a great price to win.

And Yun Qi had a different mind.

In the first round of attacks, second-order soldiers were dispatched, and they were also high-level special soldiers, so it can be expected that the next battles will only be more difficult to fight.

However, after this battle, everyone has a certain understanding of the Spartan warriors.

In the battle just now, they showed the demeanor of a professional army, and even more vividly showed the defensive war.

This is the Spartan warrior, the champion of a strong defense.

It was a joke that the Persians used shield strikers to attack the impregnable Spartan heavy shield array.

[You get battlefield points: 10 points (1*10), one hour and forty-five minutes, the second wave of tower defense battles is about to begin. 】

Because the mercenaries in this battle only play a supporting role, they will only be rewarded with the most basic tower defense points.

In addition, Yun Qi also found that it seems that the key explosion rate here is particularly low.

If you think about it, when you destroyed the Persian servant army and navy, you didn't see any rewards.

The only thing that deserved to be called a reward was the messenger's whip received from the Persian envoys.

"Strange, no matter how low the explosion rate of the key is, it won't be so low that nothing will explode, right?" (To be continued.) )
