In Ling Xiao's plan, this group of border officers and soldiers should have come a long time ago, the crossbow arrow array of the wounded was prepared for them, although I don't know why these people came so late, but it is not a small good news to encounter on the road, after all, it is much better to fight the enemy on the road than to face a hard attack on a strong town like Luoyunyi.

The two sides soon came within visual distance, and Su Qing on the side had obviously done a lot of homework for this mission, and when he saw that the other party had a kind of goshawk banner in addition to the Blood Tiger Banner, he immediately reported the identity of the other party to Ling Xiao, and it was actually one of the elite forces of the Fearless Empire, the Eagle Strike Army.

And through Guò Suqing's introduction, Ling Xiao already knew the details of the other party. The reason why this Eagle Strike Army has such a big reputation is mainly because of their marching speed and attack speed, and this speed is based on a special kind of mount, Eagle Cloud Ride.

Legend has it that this Eagle Cloud Ride originated from an ancient monster Griffon, but the Griffin Beast has been wiped out in the long river of history, and the Eagle Cloud Ride is only more durable and impactful than ordinary war horses. As for the legendary Griffon's ability to fly, it has not been inherited by any descendants.

Therefore, facing the Eagle Strike Army is actually no different from facing normal troops, except that the opponent's attack and defense capabilities are far superior to ordinary troops.

And found out that the other party was the Eagle Strike Army, which also explained very well why they would come so late, in fact, not only was it not that Ling Xiao imagined that the border troops were too contemptuous of their group, but they attached too much importance to it, so they delayed for so many days and directly sent the super elite Eagle Strike Army.

Of course, this kind of thing also has to be viewed from another aspect, the intelligence shows that among the troops responsible for staying in the Death Swamp Passage, the Eagle Strike Army is the most elite, if it can be defeated under the conditions of field warfare, then the troops that need to be dealt with in the entire passage are all ordinary auxiliaries similar to those stationed in Luoyun Station.

In other words, the most difficult battle that Ling Xiao expected suddenly began. If you can get through, it will be smooth sailing, and if you can't get through, all plans can only be utopian.

In terms of military training, the Eagle Strike Army, which was much more regular than the bandit coalition led by Ling Xiao, began to quickly change its formation in accordance with the regulations of the encounter in the drill code, and some of the soldiers quickly dismounted and took out the strong shield, but in a hundred breaths, they built a shield formation line that stretched for hundreds of meters and more than 20 lines, while the other soldiers began to organize the formation on the spot in a hurry, and saw that the cavalry formed the most suitable for charging in an orderly manner. As long as you're ready. One point to the left and right of the shield line, and the attack can be launched immediately.

On the other hand, on Ling Xiao's side, in the face of a powerful opponent, not to mention that the follow-up troops were still in chaos, even the two hundred carefully selected good players couldn't react for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Xuewen kept shouting hoarsely, so he finally reluctantly organized these more than 200 good players and was ready to deal with the impact.

In Ling Xiao's thoughts. These 200 good players in hand are the key to whether they can hold the passage, if they are killed here at the beginning, then it is very likely that many subsequent plans will face the point where no one can use them.

So, in the face of the onslaught of the Eagle Strike Army. Ling Xiao could only find a way to resist by himself, even if he used more than 200 good hands behind him, he could only use it when chasing the remnants of the soldiers and other battles with a tailwind.

In fact, Ling Xiao still has a lot of experience in dealing with cavalry attacks. Coupled with the limitations of the terrain in front of you, no matter which side you can only go forward, it is impossible to use any detours, divisions, circles, and other tactics.

So just when the Eagle Strike army was about to rush before it rushed. Ling Xiao's orders also began to be issued like a stream, "The front army prepares crossbow arrows, listen to my orders to shoot, no one in the rear army is allowed to mess up, Zhao Xuewen is the war supervisor, kill all those who don't obey orders, kill those who mess with the corners, kill those who flee without permission, and kill those who spread rumors!"

With four killing words in a row, coupled with the prestige of the night general Zhao Xuewen, although the follow-up troops of the bandit coalition army were still in a panic, they were always a lot calmer, at least they would no longer affect the battle of the front army because of their chaos.

After listening to Ling Xiao's order, more than 200 people in the front army took out their crossbows according to the pre-rehearsed pattern, all arrows pointed upward, and were ready to shoot.

In fact, according to the normal method of warfare, it is impossible to deal with the impact of cavalry and use crossbow arrows to defend, because compared with bows and arrows, the power of crossbow arrows can only be reflected in the distance of 100 meters.

And this distance of 100 meters, because of the storage of the Eagle Cloud Ride, I am afraid that these more than 200 people can only barely shoot three rounds of crossbow arrows will be close to the enemy, plus the penetration of the crossbow arrows actually does not pose much threat to the heavy armor of the Eagle Strike Army, so how much lethality these three rounds of crossbow arrows can produce can only depend on luck, if you are lucky, you can still cause some damage if you hit a place that is not covered by heavy armor, and if you are unlucky, you may even be useless.

Therefore, Ling Xiao's order, people who are not familiar with military strategy will naturally strictly implement it, but for those who understand a little military strategy, this is simply a self-defeating order.

Fortunately, with Zhao Xuewen's bullet pressure, coupled with Ling Xiao's strong co-optation in recent days, this order was still executed, but the faces of the two hundred good hands naturally had a look of despair.

After a whistle characteristic of the Eagle Strike Army, the shield line parted to the left and right, and the long cavalry ranks began to launch an indomitable charge.

Under the iron hooves of the Eagle Cloud Cavalry, the distance between the two armies was rapidly shortening, and Ling Xiao raised his hand, and the sky-shaking arrows that had made countless achievements were shot, and as soon as he shot, there were four groups of eight arrows, according to experience, it was enough to completely cover the front of the opponent's cavalry.

It was only after being shot by the sky-shaking arrows that pinned on countless hopes, the impact formation of the Eagle Strike Army was only slightly deformed, and its speed was not affected in the slightest.

Ling Xiao's heart chuckled, knowing that what he had been worried about had still happened, since the Sky Shaking Arrow appeared on the battlefield, Ling Xiao knew that the Sky Shaking Arrow was just an attack on the enemy through a harsh sound, and it was too simple to defend against this, as long as the ears of the war horse and knight were blocked, the impact of the Sky Shaking Arrow would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the fact that the seventh channel of the Sky Shaking Arrow was able to make a contribution was just a surprise to the other party, and after such a long time, I am afraid that the Dreadnought Empire side would also inform the whole army of the information and countermeasures of the Sky Shaking Arrow.

Therefore, seeing that the Sky Shaking Arrow failed to make a contribution, although Ling Xiao was a little disappointed, it was still expected, and he did not lose his square inch because of it.

With his hands raised again, all kinds of archery skills were used, and with the maximum shooting speed, Ling Xiao shot out nearly a hundred wind feather arrows in one go, and each arrow used the attack mode of spiritual power split arrows.

Therefore, what appeared in front of the Eagle Strike Army's shock formation was nearly two hundred arrows that flashed with various colors of light. Although braving the rain of arrows was a common occurrence for them, the rain of arrows in front of them was a little too powerful.

The entity's wind feather arrows were ejected one after another, at most they only shot a little along the gap in the heavy armor, but the spiritual power split arrows were not, in front of them, the so-called heavy armor was just a joke, like a hot knife into oil, and some of the spiritual power split arrows were consumed only after they shot through the two of them.

In fact, the use of spiritual power split arrows on such a large scale was also a big burden for Ling Xiao, after shooting this round, the spiritual power in his body was not to mention depleted, it was basically consumed, and he had no ability to launch the same attack again in a short period of time.

It's just that the consumption is large, and the results are also great, you must know that this spiritual power split attack is obtained from the fast sword of the Sword Sect, and the real swordsman uses it, it is a sword divided into many bodies, and the attack power of each split can reach the upper limit of the attack, that is to say, how high the attack ability of this person is, how high the split sword can reach.

And Ling Xiao's method is to divide one arrow into one, there are as many arrows as there are splits, and each split has also reached the attack strength of Ling Xiao's full arrow, and it is not surprising that it can penetrate the heavy armor of the Eagle Strike Army.

And the goal that Ling Xiao wants to achieve is this, the cavalry's attack ability lies in the speed, the striker who impacts the formation is covered by a rain of arrows, and the casualties are heavy, which affects not only the forward, but the impact speed of the entire formation.

Even when the striker turned on his back, the follow-up knight couldn't hold the Eagle Cloud Rider who was galloping at the highest speed for a while, and could only crash into the colleague in front of him.

Moreover, this death swamp passage is not like other places, and the follow-up shock formation cannot detour at all, and the front stops, and the back can only stop.

Forcing the opponent to pause in the formation is only one of Ling Xiao's goals, and after achieving this goal, the second step plan will be implemented immediately.

Although there was no way to continue shooting arrows, Ling Xiao's password was issued in time, "Crossbow arrow attack, throw forty-five degrees, five consecutive shots!"

After absorbing the order, the two hundred good hands hurriedly raised the crossbow arrows, and shot the five crossbow arrows that had been placed in advance in the crossbow machine in one breath according to the order, but they did not understand the benefit of shooting like this at all.

In fact, under Ling Xiao's control, the forward of the Eagle Strike Army's impact formation was still more than a hundred meters away from where Ling Xiao was, but although the crossbow arrow throwing sacrificed a little attack power, it was just enough to cover the striker of the Eagle Strike Army's impact formation, and with Ling Xiao's order, nearly a thousand crossbow arrows covered the front of the Eagle Strike Army so carelessly.

And Ling Xiao's second goal has finally achieved the expected effect relatively satisfactorily. (To be continued......)
