Chapter 178: Breaking the Formation

Although the strong crossbows equipped by the Wei soldiers were extremely penetrating, for the dense woods, under the cover of the thick tree trunks, the crossbow arrows could not cause much damage, and most of the crossbow arrows were shot at the tree trunks, and only a few arrows fell into the dense forest.

But this was enough, and Leo didn't want to destroy the rebels with a strong crossbow. Under the rain of arrows in three waves of rapid shooting, some unlucky people who were not well concealed were hit by chance, and the silence in the dense forest was broken by successive screams, and the face of Archduke Wilhelm was gloomy.

Obviously, Leo had already seen through his plan, and he was still deliberately playing tricks on himself. Now, Archduke Wilhelm had no choice but to shout with his sword: "Soldiers, destroy them! For the sake of our homeland, for the sake of our relatives, kill these imperial dogs!"

More than 1,000 rebel soldiers stood up from their hiding places, and rushed to the Wei army's military formation under the command of Archduke William, although they were not as equipped as those heavily armored soldiers who were armed to the teeth, but several times their number made the rebel soldiers full of confidence when charging.

"The outer warriors hang crossbows and stand shields!" After the soldiers fired three times in a row, Leo immediately commanded them to form a defensive formation, with Wu Jin leading the team to block the enemy with large shields and spears on the periphery, and Mu Fang led the crossbow-wielding soldiers to shoot and kill the enemy on the inside.

Living in the affluent south, the rebel soldiers usually looked down on the poor and poor northern soldiers, thinking that those soldiers were not even worthy of armor, so they fought hard with their blood, and they were simply reckless barbarians. The soldiers of the South were extremely proud of their equipment.

But this time, against the heavily armed Wei soldiers, the southern soldiers knew what was really well-equipped and what was a heavily armored army built with a lot of money. Although the swords of the south looked extremely sharp in normal times, in the face of the great shield of the warriors, which looked like a complete iron plate, there was not even a single gap at all.

However, the spears in the hands of the soldiers were extremely sharp, and the spear head of the stainless steel made the southern soldiers' proud cuirass become as fragile as paper, and it was often the southern soldiers who pounced on it and slashed at the guard's big shield, and after collapsing a string of sparks, before the southern soldiers retracted the swords that were raised in response, the spears like poisonous snakes had accurately pierced the chests of the southern soldiers from between the big shields.

What made the southern soldiers feel even more headache was the accurate crossbow arrows, which seemed to be infected by Mu Fang's obscene personality, and his team of local soldiers were more interested in the evil taste of headshots, dozens of crossbow-wielding soldiers stepped forward and shot non-stop at the periphery, and almost every arrow accurately hit the eyebrows or eyes of the southern soldiers. If it weren't for the hard bowstrings, these crossbowmen alone would have been enough to kill all the southern soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command were bleeding in front of Leo's heavy armor soldiers, William couldn't hold back his anger, these soldiers were his only reliance, if there were no soldiers, what would William talk about as a bare-bones commander to kill back to the south, regain the lost territory, and overthrow the empire?

"Get out of the way!" William pushed the soldiers in front of him away, and came to the front of the Wei soldiers with his long sword. Seeing the dignified Southern Grand Duke personally go into battle, the morale of the southern soldiers, who were originally a little depressed because they could not defeat the Wei military soldiers, was greatly boosted.

Seeing the appearance of Archduke William, Leo's face showed a hint of excitement, he finally saw the culprit Archduke William, and this time he must not be let go easily. There is an old saying that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and before Leo gave the order, the obscene Mu Fang had already aimed the crossbow arrow in his hand at Archduke William.

Just as Archduke William was about to step forward to break the formation, he suddenly felt a hint of danger, and without thinking too much, William immediately moved his body sideways, and as soon as his figure moved away, a sharp arrow shot past where he was standing, and firmly nailed a soldier behind William.

"Damn! despicable fellows, you all deserve to die!" Looking at the soldier who fell to the ground after being shot by an arrow, William even recognized the soldier he had personally recruited in the small town of Lania, and for a moment, William's eyes turned red, and a strong killing intent spread from his body.

William kicked his feet and slammed into the shield of the warrior formation, and just as the large shield retreated slightly due to the strong impact, revealing a gap, William's slender and sturdy thin sword entered the gap and cut off the arm of a shield-wielding soldier next to him.

With a muffled snort, the big shield in the soldier's hand fell down with half of the stump arm, revealing a gap in the originally tight military formation, but the soldier with the broken arm was also fierce, enduring the pain of the broken arm, and pulled out the saber on his waist with his right hand backhand, but threw himself at Archduke William, destroying William's plan to take the opportunity to enter the military formation.

It's a pity that although the warrior is not afraid of death, but it is not enough to see in front of William, the thin sword in William's hand will give full play to the power of the family heirloom wind sword, after stabbing the broken arm warrior to death with a sword, along the flaws in the military formation exposed by the broken arm warrior, he took the lead in the warrior formation, and those southern soldiers also followed behind him to kill the warrior army formation.

The strict military formation was stirred up by William, who was like a mad tiger, and fell apart at the time, and those shield-wielding soldiers were killed by William in a row, and they could no longer hold the formation, so they could only draw their sabers and fight with the southern soldiers under the order of the hundred generals Wu Jin.

Seeing that the enemy's army was broken up by Archduke William, the southern soldiers were encouraged, and they shouted in unison, and rushed desperately towards the soldiers. Although the equipment was inferior to the Wei soldiers, those southern soldiers had no way to retreat, they could only move forward, they could only fight hard.

The homeland was invaded by the Kingdom of Lorraine and destroyed by the Empire, and now the beloved Archduke Wilhelm also took the lead, and those southern soldiers were like mourning soldiers, and there was no way back but to fight to the death.

Even if the armor of the soldiers is thick, no matter how comprehensive the protection is, there will be gaps, at least the mouth, nose, eyes, elbows and other places have become the main targets of Archduke William, one after another the soldiers fell under his sword, seeing that the hundred generals Wu Jin's eyes were shattered, and the spear in his hand roared towards Archduke William.

Seeing Wu Jin rushing towards Archduke William, Leo secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, although Wu Jin's command ability was good, his personal strength was not much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and it was obviously impossible for him to be Archduke William's opponent. Leo did not want to lose a hundred generals, so he hurriedly drew his sword and rushed towards Archduke William.

Wu Jin held a spear, stabbed at Archduke William with a breath in his chest, and after being dodged by Archduke William, he fell into the attack of the storm of swords, Wu Jin couldn't use the spear in his hand, he could only wave his arms, relying on the strength of his armor, blocking the stabbing of Archduke William's thin sword.
