Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fierce Battle of the Boar
Starr and Gordon called all the soldiers up early the next morning, and after an afternoon of rest yesterday, they seemed to be in good spirits.
After they gathered and stood up, they saw a pile of armor, spears and short swords in front of them, and they couldn't help but wonder what they were trying to do.
Su Lin also walked over wearing a suit of armor at this time, first glanced at them, and then said: "Now we have to carry out a very important test of courage, don't look at how well you train now, but when you really face the enemy, will you still be so easy?"
In the face of Su Lin's questioning, a trace of doubt and confusion flashed in their eyes.
Seeing them show this expression, Surin is no exception, a soldier who has not gone through a war will never be a real soldier, they can lack anything, but they can't lack one thing, that is, guts.
Then he asked the people to put on their armor and helmets, and walked up the hill in full gear.
At the same time, several scouts on horseback had already set out to find out the whereabouts of the herd.
At this moment Felicia also rode up on her white horse, dressed in military uniform, with a knight's shield, a short bow, and a pot of arrows on the horse.
After getting closer, she also glanced at Su Lin, and then said jokingly: "Don't tell me about hunting, I'm getting bolder and bolder!"
"I'm drilling, where is what hunting. Su Lin hurriedly explained.
By evening, the group had come to a clearing, and a herd of wild boars had appeared on the hillside above.
Su Lin noticed that the angle of this hillside was about twenty degrees, and when the wild boar herd rushed down, the force would be very strong, and he was worried that these soldiers would not be able to withstand such a large impact.
But fortunately, the size of these wild boars is not very large, and the weight is three or four hundred catties, which also reduces the worry in his heart a lot.
At this time, the wild boars were still looking down for something to eat, and they didn't notice the people below at all, or they didn't care about the people below at all.
Then Surin asked the scouts, "How many wild boars are there, are they all that big?"
"There were three or four hundred of them, and most of them were that big. The scout reported truthfully.
"Array"
After knowing the news, Su Lin also paid attention to it, and immediately asked everyone to start arranging, and their two thousand people couldn't clean up hundreds of wild boars.
After Su Lin's words fell, the spear and shield soldier placed his half-human-high shield on the ground, and then placed the two-meter-long spear diagonally beside him, a row of dense spear tips reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
Immediately after that, the man behind followed, and pressed his shield against the back of the person in front of him to prevent him from falling due to the impact.
Su Lin couldn't help but nod when he looked at this defensive formation, the training of the secret path for so long was finally not in vain, as for the success or not, it depends on their performance below.
Surin then glanced at Felicia, and she took her bow and arrow and shot at a boar, only to hear a thud, the arrow hit the boar directly in the leg, and it immediately fell to the ground and began to howl.
Immediately after that, there were often bursts of footsteps and buzzing roars on the hillside, and the sound was getting louder and louder, which made people's hearts tense.
After a while, the hillside was covered with hundreds of wild boars, staring fiercely at the people below, and the low roar in their mouths became more and more dull.
Su Lin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he looked at so many wild boars at this time, the fangs more than ten centimeters long in their mouths were also very dangerous, if there weren't so many people here, maybe he would have been scared to the point that his legs would have weakened.
Just as he stretched out his hand to provoke them by letting Felicia continue shooting, he suddenly saw the boars above retreat in both directions, as if to make way.
"Mom, is such a big wild boar still a pig?"
"It's too big, oh my God!"
Everyone took a few steps back while talking, and their hearts were startled, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
At this time, Su Lin also gasped, only to see more than a dozen huge wild boars appear on the hillside, with a shoulder height of one meter seven, more than twenty centimeters taller than ordinary wild boars, the hair on the back has turned white, the weight is definitely more than a thousand catties, the face is full of hideous wounds, and the fangs in the mouth have reached twenty centimeters, which looks very terrifying.
After the appearance of these dozen huge wild boars, Su Lin also felt that the rest of the war horses were starting to feel uneasy, and he hurriedly touched its mane with his hand to appease the people.
Star's body couldn't help but tremble when he saw this group of wild boars, and then walked to Su Lin's side and asked, "Lord Duke, these wild boars are too aggressive, let's retreat!"
Hearing this, Su Lin also looked around, and found that many people's eyes were full of fear, thinking about leaving here as soon as possible, he couldn't help but look down, and rode to the front of the formation.
"Now you are afraid of even a herd of pigs, what if you face the enemy's cavalry in the future? Are you so frightened that you throw away your weapons and run away, do you want to say that I am afraid now? I can tell you, I am afraid, but fear does not change anything, you have to face it after you are afraid. ”
With that, Su Linjiao picked up a spear next to him and turned around and threw it at the wild boar above, which was immediately inserted into the chest of a wild boar, and it also fell from it with a wail, and finally rolled under the horse's feet.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, and they couldn't believe that he would make such an action, and dared to take the initiative to provoke those wild boars.
And Felicia saw him go to the front of the formation, and above was the place where the wild boars gathered, she was also frightened, and after seeing him throw the gun, her heart rose to her throat, for fear that the wild boars would pounce down at once.
When the wild boars saw their companions fall, they immediately let out an even louder roar, and their hooves were still digging into the earth, as if they were about to rush down.
At this time, Su Lin rode a horse and saw that everyone's eyes had changed, so he rode back slowly.
"Yes, I'm very bold, I'll give you some benefits at night, it's a real benefit!" Felicia said with a smile on her face, and at the same time, her smile immediately revealed a hint of charm.
"It's okay, it's okay. Su Lin responded simply, but his hands and feet were trembling slightly, and the clothes on his back were already wet with sweat.
At that time, I didn't plan to do that act of throwing a spear, but when I said that I was getting more and more excited, I always felt that I had to do something, so I threw the spear out, and I didn't think about the consequences at all.
Then Su Lin shouted at everyone again: "Only if you overcome the fear in your heart, can you become the strongest soldier on the continent and let all the people in the world remember your name." ”
"Whoa"
After Su Lin's words ended, everyone couldn't help but roar.
At the same time, one of the leading wild boars on the hillside also let out a loud horn and jumped down the hillside.
Seeing the spear and shield soldier in front of him, he immediately plunged the end of his long sword into the ground, then raised his shield and held the barrel of the gun with both hands.
Su Lin's fists were also clenched tightly at this time, and he saw those wild boars rushing down and hitting the tip of the spear directly, and the tip of the spear pierced their bodies in an instant, and the blood donation was sprinkled straight down.
And after the huge boars jumped down, the weight of the spear broke with a click as the spear pierced into their bodies.
"Push it out of the way for me. ”
Seeing that the huge boar smashed straight down, everyone knew that they couldn't avoid it at all, and if they didn't push it away, they might all be crushed to death.
Immediately, the dozen or so people below raised their shields to catch the falling wild boar, and suddenly they felt a tightness on their shoulders, and the huge weight made them directly half-kneel on the ground.
At the same time, the people behind also stretched out their spears and stabbed into the boar's body, trying to push it down.
"Three-two-one"
After the shouting ended, the men on both sides threw the wild boars on the shield with great force, and at the same time knocked down many wild boars that tried to rush in.
Then the dozen or so people in the front row retreated through the gap, and the people in the back went up to make up for it, continuing to block the wild boars rushing over.
However, there were also soldiers who were knocked to the ground when the boar jumped down, crushing their legs, and before they could react, another wild boar also took the opportunity to break in.
But before it could move, the soldiers around it had already surrounded it with shields, preventing the boar from running, and at the same time raised their spears and stabbed it at its body.
Su Lin saw on the side that the wild boars that jumped down were all stabbed to death by spears without exception, and even the wild boars that broke through the formation were quickly eliminated, and there was a howl on the scene.
In a short time, the dozen or so huge wild boars had fallen in a pool of blood, and the rest were ordinary wild boars.
When the number of wild boars had dropped to half, Surin waved his hand again and let the sword and shield soldiers rush forward.
I saw that they were holding round shields and short swords one by one, and they did not take a defense against the rushing wild boar, but easily avoided them, and at the same time stabbed them with their short swords.
The injured boar was even more ferocious, and rushed straight into the crowd, but with each step, there was an additional wound on his body.
When they burst out of the crowd, they were covered in wounds and blood, and after a few steps, they fell to the ground.
Soon after, most of the boars had fallen to the ground, and the last boar was left to rush towards the crowd.
At this moment a soldier also met it, and as it jumped up and pounced on him, he did not shirk it, and plunged his short sword into its neck, and fell to the ground after a howl.
