The two demon warriors saw that there were traces of a fight in front of them, and the two human warriors lay in a pool of blood, but they didn't see where the captain was.
When they ran to the clearing under the tree, intending to check if the two human warriors were dead, they were accidentally knocked to the ground by the shields swung out by Surdak and He Boqiang.
The silver runes that erupted from the 'Blessed Shield' had a strong restraining effect on these demons.
As the demon warriors fell, they barely paused to stab the spikes in their hands at Surdak and He Boqiang, which the demons had prepared for a long time, only they were too low to be hit by the shield with the effect of the 'Blessed Shield', and their huge bodies were flipped to the ground.
Surdak had long expected such a move from the demon warrior, and as he jumped up, he twisted to the side, and with his excellent balance, he was able to avoid the ghost's backhand stab.
But He Boqiang did it in a completely different way, he put on a parry posture with the Roman sword in his hand, and blocked the spikes stabbed by the demon with the most basic defensive movements of a warrior.
This parrying move, both at the junior war academy and during the initial training period of military service, is one of the basic movements that soldiers practice every day.
It's just that when everyone arrives on the battlefield, the basic movements of these battles seem to be forgotten in a second, and everyone wants to steal some fancy advanced combat skills, and often everyone ignores the practicality of these basic movements, and He Boqiang uses these basic movements, which are as natural as breathing, and the movements are as standard as in the textbook......
The two demon warriors didn't last long, and they were quickly killed by the fighters of the second squad.
In the face of these demon heads and black cores harvested, the soldiers of the second squad were a little superior, and they actually wanted to return along the same path and hunt down the demons that did not catch up with them, but this proposal was immediately rejected by Surdak.
Seeing that the 'Blessed Body' had such a powerful effect, Augustus wanted to experience the feeling of the 'Blessed Body' more and more......
……
The second squad made a detour back to the camp, and a group of heavy cavalry happened to pass through the camp gate in full heavy armor and headed for the ridge on the west side of the camp.
After entering the camp, Surdak encountered the wounded soldiers who remained in the tent of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, and learned from them that the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment had now left for the western front of the barracks and was participating in the operation to encircle and suppress a small group of evil spirits.
Baron Sidney led the 4th Brigade, following Mondstadt. Count Goss had been in the mountains west of the camp for most of the day.
There are still many dilapidated places in the camp that are mainly repaired, and the attack of two hundred evil ghosts on the camp has caused a lot of losses to the expeditionary force, and now many soldiers in the military camp are holding their breath in their hearts, just waiting for when they will go to the battlefield and give the group of evil ghosts a hard time.
The Moyunling mountain is steep and treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the evil ghost has been secretly operating in the mountain for nearly two or three months, and has built a fortification on the Moyunling, the expeditionary force of the Bena Legion has not moved for a long time, and in the last two days, bed crossbows and catapults have arrived at the camp, and it is said that a large number of catapults will arrive in the last few days.
The second squad had repaired a little in the barracks, and then hurried to the battlefield on the west side of the camp without stopping, intending to join up with the fourth brigade.
The material transport team and heavy cavalry of the barracks logistics department are once again congested on the narrow mountain road, and the battle group in front needs to send a large amount of supplies, and the expansion of the search area also requires the heavy cavalry to go up to garrison, but the mountain road is only narrow, and it is impossible to go fast, and there is a dense forest overgrown with wild grass on both sides, and there is no place to stand if you want to get out of the way.
The second squad was following behind a two-wheeled carriage in the logistics department, which was loaded with a lot of marching rations and arrows, and the longbowmen in the barracks had already been dispatched, but they didn't know how the battle would ......
After tossing and turning like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill many evil ghosts.
The fighters of the second squad waited at the back of the line and could only wait quietly by the side of the mountain road.
Augustus began to complain that he had known that the large army was fighting in the mountains to the west of the camp, and that everyone did not seem to have to spare a dozen kilometers of mountain roads to rush back, and now they had to follow the baggage carts to eat dirt.
However, even after following the baggage team to eat dirt, the soldiers of the second squad were still in a good mood, and this patrol mission successfully killed four evil ghosts, two of which were captain-level horned evil ghosts, and these trophies were evenly distributed among all the members of the team, and each of them would receive at least five or six gold coins, which was equivalent to a year's hard work without eating or drinking.
There is certainly nothing unsatisfying about getting such a windfall.
The mountain road was very congested, and the people who stopped on the mountain road became very irritable, and the horsemen occasionally whipped the restless mules and horses, and the neighing of the mules and horses made the horses gradually become uneasy, and the heavy cavalry on the war horses was burdened with heavy armor, and they could only appease their mounts over and over again.
The soldiers of the second squad used a firewood knife to cut down a piece of wild grass and vines, and hid in the shade of the mountain forest to cool off.
The driver of the two-wheeled carriage in front of him stuck his whip in the wheel, poured out half a basket of chopped dried alfalfa grass from the linen pocket behind the carriage, and handed it to the mule's mouth, and while feeding the mule with forage, he touched the mane on the back of the mule's neck with his hand to soothe its restless mood.
When the forage was almost finished, he poured out half a basin of water from the tin bucket hanging behind the cart, and drank two large sips before giving the mule all the drink.
Surdak went to the coachman's side and accosted the middle-aged coachman:
"Uncle, why is the front so blocked?"
As if sensing Surdak approaching, the mule pulling the cart became a little restless.
The middle-aged coachman's forehead was full of wrinkles, he raised his eyes to look at Surdak, and said coldly: "Don't lean over again, you have a strong smell of blood on your body, and if you come over again, it will kick people." ”
Surdak stood there a little awkwardly and smiled dryly at the middle-aged coachman.
The coachman was slightly stunned when he saw Surdak wearing the captain's badge on his chest, probably because he didn't expect that he was stopping a heavy infantry captain.
I didn't expect Surdak's temper to be so good, and instead of getting angry because of his insulting words, he really stopped and stopped approaching.
The coachman rubbed his red nose and made a strange sound, before he said kindly: "The mountain road is so wide, and the military headquarters will also send these heavy cavalry up, so it's strange if they don't block them." ”
The coachman put the bucket in his hand back on the back of the carriage and said, "There are only a few evil spirits, and they have put up such a big battle......
The coachman seemed to be very talkative, looked at Surdak seriously, and said, "Which infantry regiment are you, and why did you go up at this time?" ”
Surdak leaned over, sat on the wheel behind the carriage, and said with a grin: "We are from the 57th Infantry Regiment, and we have just returned from a patrol mission......
"Oh, no wonder......," the coachman muttered for a moment, and then said, "It is said that this time I found that there is a situation here, and it is also the patrol team of your regiment, and the search area of your 57th regiment is in the west. ”
Sometimes that's the case, and those in the back office are often the most well-informed. They even knew better about the deployment of troops on the battlefield than the young nobles in the war room, and they only needed to talk to them for a few words, and they would always get some useful news.
