Chapter 11 Fighting
There were a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the sun was shining directly on the soldiers in the phalanx, and on the green steppe, the two teams were facing each other. The flags were fluttering, the wind was blowing freely, and the soldiers on both sides were already lined up. The battle of more than 100,000 people is about to begin. A soldier like Kong Ming didn't know what the enemy's strength was, but the words passed down from his superiors said that we were three times the enemy's strength, and the old headhunter privately thought that this sentence was too much water and could not be trusted, and if the enemy's strength was only one-third of ours, the enemy would be so stupid as to look like less was more than many? The front row of Kari's army was lined up in fifteen rows, the first and second rows were shield warriors, who held shields in their left hand and swords in their right, and were responsible for blocking the arrows fired from front for the soldiers in the first few rows, the third and fourth rows were pikemen, and when the enemy's cavalry rushed over, they seeped out from the soldiers in the first two rows and used spears against the cavalry, the fifth, sixth, seventh, The eighth row is the swordsman, Kong Ming and others are in the sixth row, after interpolating with the enemy, they fight with the enemy, they are the main force of the battle, they have a long sword and a simple shield, which is used to resist the arrow before fighting with the enemy, once the hand is fought, this thing must be thrown away, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, It's the archers, they use their bows and arrows to kill the enemy before they engage the enemy, once the enemy gets close, they will use the one-handed sword on their back to fight, the last three rows are those high-ranking officers and their guards, and there are also some magicians, mainly responsible for directing and using magic to carry out long-range attacks, and there is a phalanx not far behind the front row, which is the real elite of Kari, that is Kari's heavy cavalry, which is the main force that determines the outcome of the battlefield, and the light yì will not be put into the battlefield, because each heavy cavalry costs a lot of money and manpower, and the heavy cavalry are knights above the third level, and their officers are generally knights of the sixth rank or so, unlike swordsmen, who can be put into battle after only a few months of training. If the heavy cavalry is gold, then the swordsman is the turnip and cabbage, the gold is precious, and the turnip and cabbage are everywhere, in other words, the swordsman is cannon fodder. Perhaps because the two sides were originally from the same empire, the military formations on both sides seemed to be the same, at least from Kong Ming's point of view.
Kong Ming stood in the phalanx, his legs were trembling, his eyes were straight, through the soldiers in the front rows, looking at the other party's shining armor, there was infinite panic in his heart, it was forbidden to speak in the phalanx, and Kong Ming's fear could only tremble in his mind. But he faintly heard a hint of water coming from nearby, with a little bit of a commotion. Many of them are on the battlefield for the first time, and they don't have the corresponding experience and experience, and since they are new recruits, they are placed at the front line, and there are enough forces left before the final assault to protect the elite, in other words, recruits are equal to cannon fodder. Excitement, trembling, and nervousness permeated the entire swordsman battalion. There were a few lying on the ground, with white faces and blue lips, gray dead air in their eyes, their limbs trembling constantly, and some disgusting liquid coming out of their mouths. The veterans in the battalion turned a blind eye to this, and the recruits had a strange look on their faces, and so on. Kong Ming tried his best to calm himself down, because he knew that if he didn't calm down at the first time, then he would definitely become the first batch of people to be killed, but in any case, he couldn't completely calm down, his hands were still trembling, his feet still didn't obey, but there was no time, the whole phalanx was like a pig waiting to be killed, and after the war drum sounded, it was a "sortie" All the soldiers listened to the sound of the war drums, and slowly moved forward with a little scattered pace, and the number of the entire general attacking phalanx was densely packed all over again, and Kong Ming looked left and right, and his heart was always a little more steady. About 200 meters closer to the other side, the soldiers began to shout "Yi Ho Ho, Yi Ho Ho" to adjust the pace of the team. When approaching a hundred meters or so, countless lightning and thunder, ice and snow flames, exploded in the phalanx on both sides, and countless arrows began to fly in the sky, you come and go, many arrows have fallen into the vicinity of Kong Ming, there are more than a dozen that hit Kong Ming's simple shield, there are many soldiers nearby who let the enemy's magic hit, some seem to be fine, and some are lying on the ground and don't know whether they are alive or dead. When there were still thirty meters away from the enemy, the pikemen in front paused for a moment, and then threw their spare spears into the enemy camp together, and the other soldiers saw this situation, they all put their shields on the top again, the brothers in front began to roar out louder, and then began to rush towards the enemy, the sound dispelled the last trace of fear in Kong Ming's heart, the blood gradually boiled, his head forgot a qiē, his pace gradually increased, the roar slowly shouted, he had lost a qiē thought, now it was just a tool for fighting。 The teams of both sides finally collided. Shield to shield, one-handed sword and spear also continue to pierce through the gap between the shields, after the shield hand in front of him fell, the other row immediately blocked up to prevent the enemy from breaking through the defense line, but at the same time Kong Ming's side tried its best to break through the enemy's defense line, but this phenomenon did not last long, people on both sides began to intersect together to tear each other, both sides of the people continued to fall, guns and guns fell, swords stabbed swords, blood continued to spill from the front to the four directions, and finally the cow in front of Kong Ming fell, the other party's sword pierced his heart, when he fell, he held the opponent's sword tightly, His blood slowly flowed down the tip of the sword, the enemy tried to pull the sword out of his body, but several times without success, Kong Ming raised the sword with all his strength, slashed down, the fighting spirit shone, the enemy's head flew up with his shoulders, blood splashed everywhere, Kong Ming's face and body were stained with his blood. There was also a drop of flying water on Kong Ming's left eye, Kong Ming subconsciously wiped his eyes with his hand, and then a sword on the opposite side was cut down from the front, Kong Ming was stunned for a moment, and the person stood there stupidly, without a trace of reaction. "Dang", a sword stretched out from the right side of Kong Ming and put the enemy's sword on top of Kong Ming, that is** Saved him, at this time Kong Ming finally reacted, raised the sword with both hands on his chest, the tip of the sword stabbed straight at the enemy, the tip of the sword pierced under the person's breastplate, the enemy's breastplate was made of metal, extremely hard, the sword could not pierce in, the tip of the sword stretched the arc of the breastplate downward, stabbed into the enemy's thigh, Kong Ming pulled out hard, a tent of blood rushed out, the enemy was obviously a more senior warrior, seeing that the injury was like this, under a fire, he vigorously slashed another sword, and the bright fighting spirit suddenly appeared from the sword, and it was broken at one time**'s sword, but also cut off the sword of Kong Ming's back, the sword momentum went straight down, the sword slipped down outside the arm armor, and Kong Ming held the broken sword and inserted it into the enemy's lower palate. The other party obviously didn't think about it, his eyes stared at Kong Ming, with a lot of unwillingness, he fell straight down, Kong Ming hurriedly squatted down, and quickly took a deep breath, at this time, the soldiers behind passed through the gap between Kong Ming and **, and rushed straight forward to kill. Kong Ming picked up the enemy's sword, roared angrily to the sky, and rushed forward with the flow of people, and when the two sides intersected, the formation lost its prototype and lost its effect. At this time, on the battlefield where the two sides met, all kinds of magical attacks fell from the sky and surged from the ground, and fire, lightning, wind, water, frozen reflections, black smoke, and large stones were all vented on the soldiers. The soldiers on both sides fell like straws, but the living were still slashing each other, the haze of the battlefield covered the entire sky, and the sun gradually dimmed. People on both sides are together, and there is no longer a battle line. In front of Kong Ming is a tall enemy, looking like a barbarian, the tall body is more than 2 meters high, heavy armor, and the huge mace smashed down from the top of Kong Ming's head, the white and shining fighting spirit outside the stick formed a huge pressure, Kong Ming didn't dare to connect hard, subconsciously used the sword obliquely, his body moved to the side, the mace smashed on the sword, and even smashed Kong Ming to the side, Kong Ming hit a corpse in the distance, his chest was hit hard, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the corner of his mouth, his head gradually sobered up, and the frenzy of his eyes gradually cleared。 I saw a big stick falling from the sky, with a terrifying aura, as if chasing life, Kong Ming suddenly looked behind the barbarian and quickly shouted a spell, disappeared from the barbarian in an instant, and the magic that had not been used for a long time appeared on Kong Ming's body again, the big stick smashed heavily on the place where Kong Ming was just now, a depression the size of a water tank appeared on the ground, Kong Ming suddenly appeared one meter behind the barbarian, the sword slashed at the barbarian's thigh, the barbarian's leg had no protective armor, a tent of blood spurted out from there, the barbarian knelt on the ground, and a hand waved the big stick to Kong Ming, Kong Ming jumped up, avoiding the terrifying weapon, but from not far away suddenly flew a fighting spirit, with the huge fighting spirit attached to the stick together to hit Kong Ming aside, Kong Ming fell to the side again, not far from the barbarian, Kong Ming quickly knelt up, a change of hand with a sword to stab the barbarian's flank, that is the weakest part of the armor, sandwiched the sword of the fighting spirit, lightly tore the connected leather armor, pierced into the armpit, the barbarian in pain, actually with his hand arm and body clamped Kong Ming's sword, Kong Ming's sword is difficult to enter, the barbarian roared, the other hand punched over, Kong Ming was caught off guard, was hit in the chest by him, and flew out in response, the chest of the leather armor was a piece of iron, which was dented, Kong Ming spurted out a blood, and when he saw that the barbarian fell down with a bang, it turned out that Kong Ming's sword had already pierced his heart and lungs, but he gave Kong Ming a blow with all his strength when he was dying. Kong Ming staggered towards the dead barbarian, stepped on the barbarian's corpse with his feet, and drew his sword with both hands. There was still a hint of mush on the sword. Kong Ming didn't dare to take a break, so he killed an enemy who rushed towards **, **At this time, it was obviously a little bit of a strong feeling, the enemy had obviously been injured before, and everyone's movements did not have the smooth feeling of usual training, he was a shield swordsman, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, only to see him use his shield to break away the broken sword of **, and a sword stabbed a**,** took a step back, slashed over the enemy's shield with a broken sword, and tried to block the enemy's sword with his sword, but his leg tripped over a corpse, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably under the enemy's momentum and his own loss of balance. The enemy obviously didn't have any defense against Kong Ming's hand, he was stabbed in the face by Kong Ming's long sword, a sword pierced his head, he slowly turned to Kong Ming, his eyes looked at Kong Ming unwillingly, and then fell down, Kong Ming staggered to the enemy, and then pulled out the long sword with both hands, took a deep breath, and ** also struggled to get up from the ground, picked up a long sword from the side, both of them had an inexplicable feeling, but they still walked resolutely towards the front, fighting with the enemy. As the soldiers in the front phalanx of both sides gradually fell, the Kongming side gradually gained the upper hand, and the cavalry phalanx suddenly fought forward from behind, rushing towards the enemy through the gap in the infantry, and the main forces of both sides fought hard. Time passed gradually, the enemy gradually retreated to their rear, the army followed them to kill the past, how many people passed by Kong Ming, Kong Ming had no time to care, there were no enemies near him, some were also dead enemies, and some wounded soldiers, lying around and wailing, there were also some soldiers like him, sitting on the corpses of those horses, covered with blood, some of his own, some of the enemy, I don't know how many enemies he killed, because at that time he had lost consciousness, only instinct to keep killing forward, until exhausted, the enemy never appeared in front of him again, he stopped。 Holding the snatched sword in both hands, his hands were constantly trembling, Kong Ming tried to hold it tightly several times, but the tighter he held it, the more trembling it became, and it was only thanks to his elbows on his knees that he supported his heavy hands. Kong Ming slowly raised his head, looking at the corpses all over the ground and the wounded screaming, a lot of fear rose in his heart, tears flowed out of him inadvertently, and his numb eyes also regained a little expression. I don't know how long later, a huge hand slapped on his shoulder, and he slowly raised his head, and in front of him stood a large group of people, dressed in bright heavy armor, spotless. Patting him on the shoulder was a middle-aged man, with a little heroism between his eyebrows, standing in front of Kong Ming like a mountain, it looked like a senior officer, the rank was definitely higher than the black wolf, Kong Ming wanted to stand up, but he had no strength, even a little bit. The man asked Kong Ming sternly: "Which unit are you from?" Kong Ming replied weakly: "From the swordsman battalion." ”
"What about your people?" It was a big crime to avoid fighting on the battlefield, and they all thought that Kong Ming was afraid of war, so his tone was much heavier, and Kong Ming did not react. The person behind the man shouted at Kong Ming: "The general is asking you something! Kong Ming looked up, his eyes blankly looked in the direction he had come, shook his head, and did not speak. One of the people in the group looked at Kong Ming so rude, raised his shiny sword, which was not bloody, and was about to cut it down at Kong Ming. Kong Ming didn't move, his eyes still looking ahead very blankly. "Stop!!" The general used his sword to hold off the severed sword, and the sword slid swiftly past Kong Ming, cutting off a piece of torn clothing from his arm. Kong Ming didn't move. "I will cut to death the king of the lamb, who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The man continued to shout. The general said, "Wang Tianxin, you go and investigate, what's going on?"
"General, judging from the armor, this should be a soldier of the swordsman battalion, this time the swordsman battalion is the first few rows of the front phalanx, rushing to the front, with the most casualties, the distance from here to the starting line, and the corpses on the ground, he should be one of the soldiers rushing to the front, probably a recruit who has not killed anyone before, so there is no way to take over this fact at once, and it will be fine in some days. ”
"Oh!?Are you sure?"
"It shouldn't be too far off. ”
"Go and call the head of a swordsman battalion. ”
Soon, one of the leaders of the swordsman battalion was ushered over, and when he saw the general, he gave a military salute very respectfully, "Report to Your Excellency General, the deputy chief of the swordsman battalion, I have been ordered to come and report for duty." ”
"What about the casualties of your swordsman battalion?"
"Of the 30,000 people, only a few thousand remained. Among them, almost all of them were injured, and the captain was also injured and could not move for the time being. The deputy captain replied gloomily.
"Oh, do you know him?"
"I don't know, but he's definitely from our swordsman battalion. The deputy captain shook his head.
"Get all your soldiers out of the battlefield and go to rest. ”
"Yes"
The general looked at Kong Ming, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and led everyone to run forward on horseback.
"Who's that??" asked a swordsman next to the vice-captain.
"He is our victorious general, General Sun Guangping. ”
"He's the patron saint of our card??"
The deputy captain nodded. At this time, the bright eyes of the time and space slowly regained a trace of brilliance, but in these once clear eyes, there was no young spirit, no hope in the past, and stubbornness in the past, there was a lot more indifference, a lot more encouragement, and more importantly, there was a murderous aura that many people did not have. This will accompany him with a murderous aura for the rest of his life, a murderous aura that can make people retreat. One less person!!
