Chapter Twenty-Six: The Gradually Losing Army
"Throw!" Ma Shen's angry roar even drowned out the slogans of the opposing army.
At Ma Shen's command, the Unsullied leaned back, took a step forward with his left foot, and then a spear flew out of the Unsullied's hand, and then crossed the huge shield on the opposite side, striking the pikemen behind him.
The Unsullied who threw the spear quickly took two steps back, while the Unsullied in the back row took two steps forward, changing their position from three or four columns to one or two.
"Ahh
The phalanx is usually a powerful pillar against the onslaught of the enemy, but now it is a talisman.
What is called flying disaster, this is called flying disaster, good walking, a short spear suddenly flew down from the sky, nailing your whole person to the ground.
Sometimes survival in war depends on luck, just as musketeers line up to be shot, and it is up to the gods to decide who dies and who lives.
However, after all, there were not many spears flying, and in the face of the casualties of their teammates, even if it was the teammate next to them who was stabbed, the other pikemen still fearlessly followed behind the shield-wielding man, and quickly approached the Unsullied.
They were the toughest warriors under the Great Master, and the pikemen kept shouting in their hearts that at the current speed of the spear regiment, they would soon rush into the camp of the Unsullied, who would not have a few rounds of spears to throw.
Ma Shen, who was standing at the front, also knew that time was running out, but he still stood calmly in place, watching the spear phalanx rushing towards him.
23 meters,
"Throw spears, throw!"
17 meters,
"Throw spears, throw!"
11 meters,
"Throw spears, throw!"
The distance was almost there, and a flash of fire flashed in Ma Shen's eyes, so let me hit a passage.
Dragon's Breath!
In an instant, fierce flames erupted from Ma Shen's position, blowing through a row of shield-bearers' shields, and the shields began to turn red little by little.
Holding the big shield, the shield bearer who didn't know what the situation was only felt a gust of hot wind coming, and the shield in his hand became extremely hot, and some flames rushed in from the gap in the shield, from the soles of his feet that were not hindered by the shield, and instantly ignited the shield bearers and pikemen behind the shield.
"Ahh
Without the shield to stop it, the flames immediately swept through the pikemen in the front rows.
The screams and struggles were deafening.
Not everyone can maintain a "good" state of mind under the burning fire, and even the Unsullied, Ma Shen does not dare to guarantee that if they are surrounded by flames, they will not scream and struggle like an ordinary person.
Facing the flames that enveloped their bodies, the soldiers in the front row of the spear regiment struggled desperately in the flames, and the smell of burnt meat came from them, and at the same time disrupted the formation of the entire phalanx.
Because the phalanx was in a state of charge, many of the pikemen suddenly lost the brakes, and rolled into a ball with their comrades who were on fire, and then their bodies were also stained with flames.
To make matters worse, it seemed that the armor on their bodies was not all metal, and there were some things that would fuel the fire, such as some animal skins or other things that would enhance their defenses, and in short, the pikemen that rushed towards them were suddenly chaotic.
Since ancient times, the spearman was lucky, the longer the gun, the lower the luck, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Seeing this, Ma Shen, who had finished using the dragon's breath, swung his sword and roared angrily: "Rush with me!!"
Immediately, countless Unsullied ones followed Ma Shen and rushed towards the spear regiment without hesitation.
After rushing a few steps, seeing a burning corpse in front of him, Ma Shen picked up the corpse with his sword and smashed it on the cowering pikeman.
The Unsullied also followed Ma Shen's example, picking up the burning corpses, and vigorously provoking them into the spear array, and then taking the opportunity to break in.
"Bang bang!" The sound of weapons colliding, weapons entering the flesh, and screams were intertwined, and the spear regiment, which was already not large enough in number, was made by the dragon breath technique, and the momentum was leaked a lot, and the military formation was also chaotic, resulting in a disadvantage in the battle, and the front became extremely unstable.
"Go to help!" The slave soldiers around the pikes saw that the situation was not good, and immediately came to the aid under the command of the officer.
The commanding officer in charge of the Meereen Spear Regiment in the rear was not idle, constantly shouting and boosting morale in the face of the unfavorable battle situation, and at the same time, the Warlord also brandished his long sword and approached a retreating pikeman: "Hold on! We are undefeated pikemen, just a little flame, retreat the latter to death! The families of the deserters will be reduced to slaves!"
Eventually, with the help of the threatening efforts of the officers and Warlords, as well as other slave soldiers, the somewhat chaotic spear regiment slowly stabilized.
Momentum is the most critical thing on the battlefield, similar to morale, but somewhat different, and simply explained as the embodiment of the faith and will of the soldiers on both sides of the war.
If every soldier is convinced that he can win, if he can defeat the enemy and win, then a few thousand people can defeat tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and vice versa.
The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible, which is the embodiment of the potential, and this slogan makes the Ming Dynasty army no longer dare to fight with the Qing soldiers, even if there are only a few Qing soldiers outside the city.
As the battle intensified, the pikemen began to be forced back step by step by the Unsullied, and they were completely pressed and beaten by the Unsullied, and the spear regiment, which had just stabilized, began to loosen again.
However, Ma Shen was not satisfied with such an advantage, and a large number of slave soldiers came to support him, and when the time came, he entered into an entanglement with them, even if he defeated them, the casualties of the Unsullied would definitely be far beyond the bottom line of his heart.
"Kill!!" Ma Shen set up a spear and kicked the pikeman in front of him at a speed of 50 yards.
The pikeman was unlucky, and after being kicked away, he was unlucky enough to crash into his companion's spear, piercing through his chest and smashing a string of people along the way.
Behind Ma Shen, several pikemen thought that there was an opportunity, looked at each other, and wanted to sneak attack together.
But he didn't expect Ma Shen to be like having eyes on his back, and with a wave of his backhand, a sharp green sword light flew through the three rows of pikemen.
The pikemen pierced by the green sword only felt a sense of relief, as if they had woken up after a long day of training.
After a pause, feeling a little inexplicable, the pikeman was about to take a few steps back to see the situation, but was horrified to see his body slowly turn in half.
What's even more terrifying is that they didn't feel any pain at all, and their whole body was still very comfortable.
The fear in their hearts made them let out an incredibly loud scream.
All the power of nature has been contributed to you, and seeing that you are so happy to scream so loudly, Count Ben is also very happy, Ma Shen glanced at the corpse that fell to the ground, and smiled at the pikemen who surrounded him and did not dare to approach.
In the eyes of the spearmen, the man who rushed into the queue was like a human beast that could use mystical magic, and it almost killed them.
Just as he wanted to step forward, Ma Shen's ears suddenly moved, and his keen hearing allowed him to hear the sound he wanted to hear in a noisy environment.
"Send 200 slave soldiers to the right side of the phalanx to support!"
Finding you, Ma Shen smiled sinisterly, turned and rushed in the direction of the sound, leaving only a few trembling pikemen in place.
Looking at the back of Ma Shen leaving, the spearmen looked at each other's trembling hands and feet, nodded tacitly, and secretly found a dark corner together to escape.
Taking the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, this is something that many people want to do but can't do, but Ma Shen can do it, and he won't be impressed when he hasn't seen him for half a year, and now is not the time to be chased and killed by those dog-day Lannisters.
The commanding officer, who was in the rear of the pike, never expected that someone would be able to break through the obstacles of the soldiers in front.
"Protect your lordship!"
"Stop him!"
It wasn't until the shouts of the guards around him sounded that he noticed that someone was rushing towards him.
In the face of the rushing enemy, he did not flee, but bravely stood in place to face the rapidly rushing enemy.
I have been practicing swordsmanship for 20 years, learning from knights and swordsmen all over the world, and there is no one who is my opponent in Meereen, so you can die obediently, as long as I entangle you for a while, the soldiers around me will cut you into meat sauce, and the commanding officer of the spear regiment looked at the rushing figure, and thought silently in his heart.
