Chapter 201: Rush (Ask for Subscription)
The strict military discipline instantly suppressed the fear in the hearts of most soldiers, sometimes unknown things, and there was really no visible horror of military law, coupled with the continuous guidance of the officers, the Zhenbei Corps calmed down again.
"Reject the horses, chariots array!"
When the soldiers gradually calmed down, the soldiers and officers began to enter the battle state, and a large number of improvised horses were put at the forefront of the battlefield by the soldiers.
"Shield Soldiers!"
A full three rows of shields were placed behind the horses, and at the front of the corps, became a moving wall.
These shield soldiers are completely different from the previous shield bearers, first of all, they are not one person with one shield, but two people with one shield, and their shields are also different, not the kind of one-person high metal tower shield, because the Zhenbei Corps does not have so many metal tower shields at all.
Therefore, the Zhenbei Corps adopted Barron's advice and cut down a large number of trees, using these trees to make a super-large wooden shield with a face of 3 meters high and 50 centimeters thick.
Moreover, these wooden shields were sprinkled with several layers of cold water on the surface according to Barron's request, and now the kingdom of Nader has already entered the freezing season, and it is just a cold winter night, and the surface of these wooden shields is covered with a thin layer of ice.
This thin layer of ice not only has good defense, but also because of the smooth surface, the undead cannot relay to climb.
Although the wood is not as heavy as iron, after all, it is large in size, and it is splashed with water and frozen, and ordinary people really can't lift it, so they have to arrange two people to hold each shield before they can act.
And in order to reduce the physical exertion of shield soldiers, there are two supporting shelves behind each giant wooden shield, which can withstand the impact of some enemies.
"Spearmen in formation!"
Behind each row of shield soldiers is a row of spearmen, and the spears of these spearmen are not the same as ordinary ones, and the spears that are more than five meters long can almost be called dragon spears.
These spearmen will attack the incoming enemy through the empty space reserved by the shield soldiers.
And while the shield and spearmen were arrayed, the trebuchet troops began to exert their might again.
"The target is replaced, the center of gravity of the trebuchet is adjusted, and the target is 100 meters outside the city wall of the Golden Lion City, and the fire oil tank is ready for projection!"
"Launch!"
Because the location of the trebuchet was about 100 meters outside of the Golden Lion City, it was not affected by the sorcery Frost Star.
When hundreds of canisters hit the ground, they quickly turned into a wall of flames, turning all the undead who passed through the wall into movable torches.
The undead who were unlucky fell directly on the way, and the undead who were lucky only barely swayed all the way to the front of the shield soldiers in the first row, but before they could make too many movements, they were stabbed to the ground by the spearmen one by one.
However, before the Zhenbei Corps could be happy, the Witchcraft Frost Star reappeared, directly extinguishing the wall of fire that had just appeared.
After so many rounds of fire oil tank attacks, the Zhenbei Corps found that the effect was no longer great, and the reserves of fire oil tanks were not much, so they could only replace them with stones the size of human heads for projectile attacks.
But this kind of shotshot-like attack that is a big killer for humans doesn't have much effect on the undead, unless it happens to hit the chest of the undead and shatters the heart core in the undead's body, otherwise even if it is hit in the head, the undead are still alive.
This is also the reason why after the Zhenbei Corps arrived at the Golden Lion City, most of the archers turned into shield soldiers and spearmen.
After the oil canisters and stone projectiles were out of effect, the trebuchet troops could no longer stop the undead's footsteps, only a "bang" was heard, and at that moment, thousands of undead slammed into the shield soldiers in the first row.
At this moment, the tragic confrontation between humans and the undead officially began.
"Fortunately, although these undead have poisonous attacks in their attacks, they are not infectious, which is the best result. Barron looked at the soldiers who had been wounded by the undead, and although some had died from poisoning, none of them had become new undead because of the poison.
Next, the undead and humans entered a stalemate, except for the occasional knight-level undead, often paying the price of a dozen undead completely dying out to break a giant wooden shield.
"The Sharp Knife Team and the Armor Piercing Team are ready to take on the battle at any time!"
Barron was ready, the armor-breaking team was different from the previous classes, this was a special unit set up for the undead by the Zhenbei Corps, and these armor-breaking teams were generally in teams of two.
One is a tomahawk soldier, holding a tomahawk or mace that can break heavy armor in both hands, responsible for attacking and killing the undead when they are in close combat with the undead, the thin and corrupt body of the undead, except for a few, most of the undead often can't stop the tomahawk axe, and an axe is a big hole.
The other is a sword and shield soldier, holding a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other, responsible for defense and replenishment, once the tomahawk fails to kill the undead at the first time, or when the group encounters more than one undead, it is time for the sword and shield soldier to come forward to defend or replenish the knife.
Because in Barron's actual battle with the undead, he found that the strength of ordinary people sometimes may not be able to completely break through the defenses of the undead, especially when there are still undead warriors, so it is recommended.
In addition to working in pairs, in addition to the armor-piercing team, there are also two groups of sharp knife groups, the so-called sharp knife group is composed of knight-level powerhouses, specially for the armor-breaking team to open a way in the army of the undead.
And Barron is the commander of one of the sharp knife groups, and in addition to Suta, Van Lentien and Aldridge of the Deathwing Mercenary Regiment, the Zhenbei Corps has transferred 2 intermediate knights and 12 junior knights to follow Barron's dispatch.
With the addition of Barron himself, a sharp knife group has 1 high-level knight combat power, 2 intermediate knight combat power and 15 junior knight combat power, a total of 18 knight-level combat power.
The commander of the other group is August, who also has 2 intermediate knights and 15 junior knights, a total of 18 knight-level combat forces.
"Sharp Knife Group Advance!"
"The armor-breaking team quickly followed!"
"Kill!"
As soon as the order to attack arrived, Barron and August took the lead, leading their respective knights and thousands of armor-breaking soldiers to break into the undead army from two directions, one left and one right!
In an instant, the army of the undead, which numbered tens of thousands, was instantly torn apart by the forces of Barron and August.
