Chapter 205: Life and Death Regardless of Life
"Interesting, who is that man? Can he make the soldiers of Zhao, who were about to collapse, regain their courage and fight to the death? ”
Xiao Han looked at the thousands of Zhao soldiers and soldiers in the picture, who looked extremely small and tragic against the backdrop of the griffin group that covered the sky and the sun, and felt very surprised.
Especially the middle-aged man who didn't look too burly and majestic.
What is this person's ability to be so supported by the soldiers, just a shout made the morale of these Zhao soldiers instantly max.
Don't these people know that in such a situation, even if they put their lives on the line, it will be useless to continue fighting?
I didn't want to run for my life, but I dared to stay where I was and hold the formation, I really didn't know whether I was alive or dead.
Xiao Han felt a little incomprehensible, but in his heart, he couldn't help but treat these people a little differently.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to run for my life.
It's just that he is facing a monster that can fly, and how can he run with just two legs.
The horses in the army were also frightened and killed in an instant when the griffons appeared.
The rest were also paralyzed in fright, not daring to move at all.
Zhao Guoshang rode and arched, and among the Zhao army, there were a lot of cavalry, and almost all of the old soldiers of the Nine Plains were elite knights.
It's just that when the griffons come, the horses are useless, and these people can only turn cavalry into infantry.
How long has it been since these elite soldiers engaged in foot combat?
Speaking of which, at the beginning, in the face of the Hun cavalry, they, the soldiers of the Zhao State, could basically only shrink behind the fortress walls and try their best to resist.
Until the man appeared.
Li Mu, the god of war of Zhao, Zhao broke the battle of the Xiongnu, so that Zhao and the Xiongnu were on the grassland, completely changing the situation.
From then on, on the grassland, it was no longer the Hun cavalry who surrounded the Zhao army, but the Zhao knights chased the Huns to kill.
The foot soldiers of Zhao Guo, who could only retreat between the city walls and fortresses, stepped on their war horses and broke into the grassland, chasing and slashing the Huns.
For more than a decade, it has been like this.
It's just that now, these elites have to turn over and dismount, hold their shields, form a battle formation, and fight again.
Although it was a little unfamiliar, the hand holding the weapon, the gasping sound that had become thick because of excitement, the face that was a little red because of congestion, and the look that seemed a little nervous, but full of satisfied smiles, all revealed that this army was still full of combat power and lived up to the name of the elite of the Jiuyuan veterans.
"Zhao Jun is mighty, kill!"
Thousands of Jiuyuan veterans quickly gathered around Li Mu to protect the god in their eyes, the hero of the Zhao Kingdom.
Unless they all die in battle, he will not let the enemy hurt him in the slightest.
"Whew! Call! Call! ——! ”
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ——! ”
With the whistling sound one after another, in an instant, countless screams sounded in the Zhao army's camp, but among these screams, there were some different sounds.
It was from the battle formation formed by the old soldiers of the Nine Plains.
These veterans from the border and have experienced a hundred battles are all vigorous and very strong.
With a wingspan of seven or eight meters, it is taller and more powerful than the tallest horse, and the nails of its front paws alone are more than ten centimeters long like a dagger-like griffin.
However, for these veterans who have regained their fighting spirit, the seemingly invincible griffin is not so terrifying at this time.
At most, it's just a death, and if you can kill a monster before you die, it's worth it.
This is a true portrayal of the hearts of these veterans at this time, they are completely out of the realm of life and death, even if they are facing a dragon in front of them, they dare to fight against it.
In the face of the swooping griffins, the old soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, heel to heel, holding shields to touch, resisting support, and a pole long ge stretched out from the gap between the shields and stood upright, similar to a hedgehog array.
This is a very effective formation against cavalry, in the absence of an extra-long spear formation, the infantry with long weapons to form this dense hedgehog formation, can effectively resist the cavalry charge.
In particular, the cavalry before the Western Yuan Dynasty did not have any saddle horses, and could not afford to play heavy cavalry, basically light cavalry and archers, and when they encountered this formation, they were basically powerless.
However, this is also a kind of battle method of fighting for life, you know, the impact of the cavalry is so terrifying, the first to bear the brunt of it will definitely die.
Now this griffon swooped down from the sky, just like facing the onslaught of the charging cavalry, but the impact was stronger, and the direction of the impact came from the sky.
In the camp of the Zhao army, those other soldiers, under the dive of the griffin, only screamed, and were easily knocked down, their muscles and bones broken, fell into a coma, and then were taken to the sky, not knowing what the fate would be.
And in the eyes of Sergeant Zhao, those colleagues who were knocked to the ground must have died after being hit so hard, and their bodies were taken away by these monsters, thinking that they were going to be brought back to their nests as food.
Each scream meant that another Zhao soldier was captured, and each scream made the other soldiers more and more frightened.
Feces and urine flew sideways, holding their heads and rats scurrying, and even many people were so frightened that they fainted directly to the ground.
The Zhao army camp of nearly one million people is like an ant nest that has been stabbed and thrown into a hot pot at this time, so it is not lively.
It's just that in the midst of this crowd, there is a small place, but it seems out of place and orderly.
It was Li Mu and his Jiuyuan old pawn.
Forming a hedgehog formation, they faced the griffins that swooped down, and for a while they actually came and went, and resisted.
After all, griffons are different from the cavalry that charges without brains, and these sturdy sky beasts are extremely agile even when they are in a dive.
Swooping down, close to the Zhao pawns before they formed a formation, they could always shake their wings in time, pull them up leisurely, and use their claws to break more than a dozen long ges.
The sturdy armor on his body ensured that these flying beasts would not be harmed by this.
This is the case with every griffin that swoops down, and in this way, the hedgehog array formed by the old pawns of the Nine Plains is completely useless in the face of these monsters.
Naturally, they knew about this situation, but they seemed to be a little helpless.
Because if you break away from the protection of this hedgehog array, with the ability of an ordinary single soldier, you will obviously not be able to resist these flying monsters.
Just like the other Zhao pawns in the Zhao army's camp at this time, like an eagle catching a chicken, he was caught, and the end was unbearable.
It's just that if it continues like this, it's not a solution.
In just this short period of time, hundreds of long shots were destroyed.
If it weren't for the protection of the hedgehog array formed by these Changge, then those flying monsters would have been able to attack them with complete carelessness.
Do you still want to use that small shield to block the huge monster with a wingspan of seven or eight meters and a length of three or four meters?
At this time, the situation was very critical, but in the hearts of most of the Jiuyuan veterans, they did not take it to heart.
In the end, it is just a death, how to die, how long to die, for these warriors who put life and death out of the way, there is no difference.
At most, it's just a pity that he can't follow that man to continue the war, and he didn't kill enough before he died.
It's just that some of these smart people are anxious in their hearts and want to change their current situation.
