Chapter 0456 - The One Who Met on the Narrow Road
For the time being, the people who could only watch from the wall were shocked by this cruel and bloody scene at first, and they did not dare to come out, especially those who had seen the cruelty of war for the first time, and even stopped thinking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The brave army of beasts who didn't know what death was, made them feel the breath of death, and the footsteps of the god of death were temporarily delayed and slowed down, but it would come eventually.
Fortunately, the black arrows seemed to never disappear, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the demon beasts, and the underground river gradually changed color.
With the change of people's hearts, they can clearly see that the fearless army of beasts is not really fearless, those who rush to the front, about to be harvested by the black arrows of the demon beasts, before dying will still show fear and despair, and even some demon beasts choose to jump into the river, in order to avoid the life-threatening arrows.
However, the orc army is different from the human army when charging, especially when encountering this kind of battle, it will generally let the weak in front and the strong in the back, so if you run fast, you may die faster, but if you run slowly, you will also be kicked to death by your companions behind you.
There is no second option except to rush forward desperately, which not only retains stronger combat power to the greatest extent, but also charges faster and faster.
Of course, the reason for the orcs to do this is not entirely based on the above two points, the more important reason is that the hierarchy among the orcs is very strict, which is far superior to that of humans, and the strength determines the level of status and power, which naturally determines the position when charging.
Where do ordinary people understand this truth, they will be afraid of just seeing demon beasts, and they will also be afraid of death, and then look back at those Praetorian Guards who are standing as straight as a pine and the two thousand strange soldiers who suddenly appeared, it is a stark contrast.
A trace of emotion is turning in the heart, a stream of blood is stirring in the body, and a little courage is surging in the chest.
The fear of the cold began to melt, and even the ignorant teenager waved his fist and shouted hoarse throat.
However, the blood could not solve the practical problem after all, and the cheering and cheering would not increase even a single arrow, and the seemingly endless torrent of black arrows finally eased, and the sharp-eyed man even caught a glimpse of the quiver that had been wrapped around his waist from under the clothes occasionally lifted by the archer.
And the 100,000 beast army, although it seems to have suffered heavy casualties, is only a drop in the bucket in terms of quantity, and it is the weakest group in terms of strength.
The situation has quietly reversed, and the army of the beast clan that has lost its troops is like a rainbow, and it is getting stronger and stronger, and the distance between it and the human race is getting closer and closer.
On the other hand, the Terrans, the Praetorian Guards and the two thousand crossbowmen still have the same face, but no one will think that it is enough to protect the safety of the people, they are brave enough, tenacious enough, they may be able to kill several times their own demon beasts, but after all, they will still fall under the charge of the demon beasts, because the difference in numbers is too big, if it were not for the special terrain here, the demon beast army could not spread out the formation, and the battle may have already ended.
When the demon beasts in the front row were still about a hundred meters away from the Praetorian Guard, Hai Dongqing finally spoke again.
"Charge-" The two concise and powerful words sounded like thunder at this moment, and people couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that Hai Dongqing was in a trance? Who will charge? Who dares to charge? Moreover, in his plans and instructions, there is no mention of this, at this time, it should be to retreat a certain distance, and let all the soul masters with long-range attack ability prepare to attack.
However, the thousand Praetorian Guards did not hesitate in the slightest, as if they had been waiting for a long time, for this moment, when the word charge fell, they all bent down at the same time, and began to charge, with spears in one hand!
At first they were just taking small steps, and their strides were not large, so their movements looked a little awkward, but as the distance between the two sides narrowed, their steps gradually increased, and later they looked like they were jumping, and they looked awkward as well.
But in the middle of these two awkwardness, earth-shaking changes have taken place, from gathering momentum to rushing to the peak, just between these dozens of steps, from the tragedy of hitting the stone with an egg to the determination of meeting on a narrow road, also between these dozens of steps.
A thousand people, against nearly 100,000 demon beasts, but they couldn't see the slightest self-inflicted strength, as if they were really two equal forces.
The black arrows didn't stop, they pierced through the gaps of the Praetorian Guards, and the two worked together flawlessly.
When the first row of Praetorian Guard soldiers changed to holding guns with both hands and stabbed spears into the body of the demon beast, Hai Dongqing's second order finally arrived.
"Bondage—"
There are less than thirty soul masters who can perform soul skills with freezing, entanglement, fainting, and other bondage natures, and they climbed and hid on the edge of the river bank early, and at this time, after receiving the order, they jumped out in unison, stepping on the inch position left by the demon beast army on the edge of the river bank, leaning back, and making hand prints with both hands.
In that moment, there was a brief pause in the orc army, no, not even a pause to be exact, just like the rushing river suddenly met an ebb and fall of the river, almost instantaneously, but after all, there was a trace of undulation.
This seemingly insignificant change allowed the Praetorian Guard's sharp blade to successfully plunge into the otherwise unshakable city wall, which did not fall, but was pierced through a hole.
Inevitably, the blade also had to pay a price, and the dozens of people in front were torn to pieces by the demon beast almost instantly, and the blood mist was filled, but it condensed in an instant, because the thirty soul masters on the bank of the river shot again.
But it was also their last attack, and dozens of demon beasts jumped up, carrying them into the river and taking their lives as well.
However, the attack of the orc army due to the rage slowed down again, and the spears of the Praetorian Guards had long been broken, replaced by more handy knives in close combat, and the bright swords were particularly bright against the black armor.
When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, they are talking about the situation where the two sides are equal or the gap is not large, like today's power comparison, even if the human race is ten times more courageous than the other party, it cannot make up for the huge gap, so the blade will eventually be broken or even broken.
With the cooperation of a thousand Praetorian Guards and thirty soul masters, the unstoppable beast army was blocked twice, and they even penetrated dozens of meters deep into the army and killed thousands of demon beasts, which can be described as a miracle.
However, such a hard fight also paid a huge price, and when the orc army finally ran over this line of defense and began to charge again, there were only less than three hundred Praetorian Guards left in the middle of the demon beasts to resist stubbornly.
By the time the 2,000 repeaters had finally exhausted their arrows and begun the second wave of the Terran charge with their melee weapons, the Praetorian Guard had been completely wiped out.
A thousand people were only exchanged for less than two thousand demon beasts, which seemed very worthless, but these thousand people successfully slowed down the invincible charge of the beast army, and their second charge became more and more angry and ferocious, but after all, they did not have the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.
The so-called one drum, then decline, three exhaustion, a thousand Praetorian Guards can achieve such a point, which is already commendable.
Now two thousand crossbowmen have taken over the task of the Praetorian Guard, surging upward.
The people watching the battle had long forgotten to breathe, to be sad, to be nervous, and to look at the two thousand lucky people who had been envied and envied by them before, and some of them only had respect and the sorrow and impulse that surged with it.
When the two thousand repeaters collided with the beast army again, although they did not have the help of thirty soul masters, it was easier than the first impact, and the city wall that had been pierced through was destined to decline even if the hole was blocked, and their formation was even a little chaotic.
Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, Hai Dongqing issued the third order.
"Distant Attack—"
There are more soul masters who shot this time, although there are almost no outstanding soul masters on the scene, but there are many people who have Horcruxes, and the so-called long-range attack is only a distance of up to ten meters, and many soul masters can do it.
Of course, many people are attacking like scratching their boots, and they fall on the monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, and there is no.
However, the herd was still greatly damaged, and even more chaotic as a result.
Because Xia Qingyang suddenly made a move.
With a single Nebula Rakshasa, dozens of demon beasts were killed.
But the crowd didn't get excited about this, because this went against Hai Dongqing's instructions, in his prior arrangement, real masters such as Xia Qingyang and Mingyue wanted to preserve their strength to the end, and the reason was very simple, it was impossible for the 100,000 army of the beast clan to be without a strong person, and it was likely that dozens or even hundreds of super-level demon beasts would appear in the back.
Although this arrangement is also in danger of fighting everyone, and there is a suspicion of taking other people's backs, but with the Praetorian Guards and two thousand people who are obviously also from the border guards, no one can blame anything, and Hai Dongqing also made a guarantee that if all the soul masters are exhausted, they will take action, at least until they fall, ordinary people will not be harmed.
"Xia Qingyang, which one of you are strong! Come back quickly-" Yutai Hongyue roared.
Xia Qingyang turned a deaf ear, dodged and rushed to the front of the two thousand crossbowmen who had already been killed and wounded, and the hunting knife used the heaven and earth net to cooperate with the heavenly footwork, almost one person blocked the way of the beast clan's charge, and a few fish that slipped through the net were also killed by the people behind them in an instant.
Mingyue's eyes were cold, Hai Dongqing frowned, tilted his head and glanced at Su Yunxian and An Xiaoxie.
The latter shouted coquettishly: "The surname Xia, don't make trouble, be obedient." ”
Xia Qingyang raised his voice and said: "I don't know what your plans are, but it shouldn't be at the cost of human life, no one's life is more expensive than anyone's gold, and no one should naturally make sacrifices, if there is, it should be the one with great ability to go first." ”
