Chapter 970: How to Break the Five-Circle Battle Formation
Let's sell it, let's not talk about what happened to Hou Yi and Yuan Xilong, whether the blood flowers are Lin Shuangyun's, or Hou Yi's, or Yuan Xilong's later.
Let's talk about the fate of the thousand assassins under Yuan Xilong's command.
The first wave of the two teams in front of the woods killed more than 200 assassins in the first wave of the Ice and Fire Guards, and after the Silver Spear Star General Ma Feiyu gave the order, the Ice and Fire Guards changed their attack methods and methods.
Under the leadership of the commander, a whole battalion of the Ice and Fire Guards surrounded, suppressed, and consumed these more than 700 assassins, and Yuan Xibiao and Yuan Xibao did not care about the life or death of these assassins.
The four Yuan brothers, as the generals of the dark forces of the Earth Realm, do not want the survival of the assassins, but the successful killing of the assassin target, as long as they complete the task, they can return victorious, they can get honor, and they can have the opportunity to defeat the Heavenly Realm!
Therefore, the order given by Yuan Xibiao and Yuan Xibao to the assassins under their command was to break out of the siege, or to hold on, and to survive was victory.
So more than 700 Assassins began their crazy breakthrough road, and a whole five teams of Ice and Fire Guards surrounded the Assassins' team, and the defense of the five-layer battle circle was enough to block the Assassins' crazy way out.
Instead of shooting them with the bows and arrows on their backs, the Fire and Ice Guards adopted a defensive counterattack formation, trapping the Assassins in the battle circle.
The tight formation defense and battle position matching make this battle circle impregnable. One by one, the Assassins watched as the well-armoured Ice and Fire Guards stared at them, like deer and rabbits hunting. The end must be miserable!
The Assassins noticed that the Fire and Ice Guards in the first layer of the battle circle had erected heavy shields, which were connected to each other to form a shield wall. The Ice and Fire Guards of the second layer of the battle circle use bladed spears through the gaps between the heavy shields to be ready to kill the assassins who break through the battle, the Ice and Fire Guards of the third layer of the battle circle use bladed guns to protect their comrades in the first two rows, and the Ice and Fire Guards of the fourth battle circle are ready for hand-to-hand combat with their swords.
And the Ice and Fire Guards of the fifth layer of the battle circle are already ready to bend their bows and arrows, as long as the assassins dare to break through, these thousand mana feather arrows can put the assassins in a lot.
In this way, the tight formation that was just right together really made the assassins unable to advance or retreat, and the assassins formed a circular turtle shell formation to defend, and the assassins in front of the formation squatted down and erected round shields to defend.
Although the formation looked fragile and small, the Assassins did not give up, and they were not defeated. As long as the four leaders killed Hou Yi. With the power of four leaders, it is not a problem to take out these Ice and Fire Guards. All they had to do as Assassins was to buy time and try to survive before defeating Hou Yi.
Delay this defense battle, fortunately, the Ice and Fire Guards received instructions to leave one or two hundred alive, otherwise the Ice and Fire Guards would not have been grinding with this assassin!
At this time. The Assassin lieutenant stepped out of the ranks of the Assassins. It was up to him to command the battle of these brothers. Life and death are all under his control.
The best way to delay the effective attack of the Ice and Fire Guards is to suppress them with waves of attacks first, so as to discourage their sharpness. They will not dare to go into battle for a while, and whether they can achieve this goal depends on the methods of the assassins.
Under the leadership of the Assassin Captain, the Assassins drew their Falcon Iron Arm Crossbows, which were much more useful than hidden weapons, and they did not believe that these Ice and Fire Guards could withstand the rain of arrows they carried.
More than 700 Assassins erected their small round shields to form a low shield wall to avoid being killed by the bows and arrows of the Fire and Ice Guards.
More than 700 assassins quietly showed their falcon iron arm crossbows, and they loaded their arrow boxes with twenty arrows, these twenty iron arrows are all better and more penetrating, with their mana delivery, why not be able to penetrate the excellent heavy armor of the Ice and Fire Guards.
More than 700 Assassins, following the instructions of the Assassin captain. Instead of killing suddenly, it is better to kill them according to the situation.
The first team of 300 Assassins followed the Assassin Captain, while the second team of 400 Assassins responded as the second echelon, and the two teams moved to a low shield wall in front of the other, ready to attack.
More than 700 Assassins began to provoke the Fire and Ice Guards, scolding their families and making insults to them.
The Ice and Fire Guards had always been highly disciplined, and how could they be swayed by such an overt battle to lure the enemy. One by one, the Fire and Ice Guards glared at the Assassins, waiting for the Commander's command to attack before going into battle.
Whether it is an assassination ambush or a provocative operation, there are several steps, of course, three steps are the best. The first step is to wait and provoke, the second step is to wait for the opportunity, and the third step is to rain arrows and sword strikes back to solve the battle.
That's a good idea, that's what the Assassins thought anyway.
The commander can't watch the assassins slander the Ice and Fire Guards like this, they are the direct troops and escort troops of the Heavenly Emperor, and they are the ace legions of the No. 1 combat force in the Heavenly Realm, the Huanghuang Heavenly Majesty cannot be despised and it is time to give the assassins some color to see, anyway, the general only asks for one or two hundred live mouths.
The commander ordered a battalion of Ice and Fire Guards to maintain the advance of the five-layer battle circle, and the Ice and Fire Guards in the second battle circle had also erected battle shields. In order to make up for the omission of the heavy shield in the hands of the Ice and Fire Guards of the First Battle Circle during the movement.
"Huhuhahe!" the five thousand Ice and Fire Guards launched a step-by-step advance against the assassins, and the pressure of each step made the assassins turn blue, they were afraid.
The Assassins waited for the approach of the five thousand Fire and Ice Guards, just waiting for them to be within range of the Falcon Iron Arm's Kill.
One, two, three, four steps, after a hundred steps...... The Fire and Ice Guards in the current and last three battle circles are approaching the firing range, which means that they are not far from the time for the Grim Reaper to report.
"Shoot them!" shouted the Assassin lieutenant.
More than 700 assassins silently showed the falcon iron arm crossbow in their hands, this falcon iron arm crossbow only stood on the small round shield, with the shield cover, especially when the opponent was traveling, it was difficult to be detected.
More than 700 Falcon Iron Arm crossbows were aimed at the front, and the bodies of more than 700 assassins moved at the same time, raising their crossbows and firing, and they attacked with Falcon Iron Arm crossbows as soon as they emerged.
The first team marched forward in the first battle circle, and the Ice and Fire Guards released iron arrows with the heavy shield gap as a reference target. The second team used the rain of arrows to attack the remaining two battle circles of the Ice and Fire Guards, making the rain of arrows their sudden and deadly weapon.
The idea is very wonderful, but seven hundred against five thousand can't form a suppressive effect at all, let alone what the effect of these seven hundred iron arrows will be after flying out.
And the heavy shield with a glimmer of silver light in the hands of the thousands of Ice and Fire Guards of the First Battle Circle became the target of more than seven hundred assassins at this time.
Seven hundred iron arrows shot out, and the sudden appearance of the iron arrows disrupted the attack plan of the Ice and Fire Guards. However, it was expected by the Commander.
Between the lightning and flint, the iron arrows attacked, and the thousands of Ice and Fire Guards had to stop their bodies and block the salvo attack of the iron arrows with heavy shields.
The iron arrows attacked, and the Ice and Fire Guards of the second battle circle also tried their best to defend with the battle shields in their hands, and the combination of the shields of the two battle circles was just right to block the invasion of the arrow rain.
"Crackling" and "Jingling"!
Before more than 700 iron arrows flew past the first battle circle, they were stopped by the heavy shield, which may be too small, and the penetrating power of the iron arrow only wiped a little white mark on the heavy shield and fell.
I know, the Assassins completely ignored the Ice and Fire Guards' individual combat power is above three levels.
Looking for death, but the Ice and Fire Guards of the Fifth Battle Circle did not fight back with the bows and arrows in their hands, and the commander had not yet issued an order to shoot.
The Ice and Fire Guards were to consume the ranged weapons and hidden weapons in the hands of the Assassins, so that they could calmly capture and take away as many Assassins as they wanted.
Seeing that the Ice and Fire Guards did not fight back, the more than 700 Assassins boldly flew out of the shield wall, and as they moved quickly, they used their Falcon Iron Arm Crossbow to change the direction of their attacks and sent second, third, and fourth iron arrows towards the Ice and Fire Guards.
