This group of hoplites was inspired by the sword and shield of Cheng Jun, the fifth disciple of Chunyang, and combined with the characteristics of the heavy shield soldiers in the army. Among the tens of thousands of young and strong homeless people recruited, only less than 2,000 people were selected, each of them was strong, tall and strong, and courageous.

The sword and shield in their hands are also built in accordance with Cheng Jun's style, and with this heavy armor, the weight of the whole body has almost reached about eighty catties, even exceeding Song Shujian's original elite hoplites in the Zhenbei Army.

Unlike other classes, hoplites and hoplites are the most difficult to build. Song Shujian spent more than a year and a lot of effort, but he only barely became an army, but there is still a distance to reach the elite soldiers in Song Shujian's mind.

In the past, in order to fight against the Turkic cavalry who wantonly invaded the border, the Tang Dynasty once formed a powerful and unrivaled Mo knife team, commanded by the famous general Li Siye. The soldiers of the former army came out with their long swords in their hands, and entered like a wall. ”

With such a national strength in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, the Mo Dao Army is only 5,000 people at most, not because they can't afford it, but because they really can't find so many tall and brave Mo Dao players. In the hands of Song Shujian, these sturdy not only have to wield a Mo knife weighing fifteen catties, but also be able to lift a heavy shield of more than twenty catties of stainless steel, and the difficulty is even more conceivable.

After careful consideration by Song Shujian and a secret discussion with Xiao Qianli, Xiao Qianli deduced a performance of "Fighting Elephant Gong", which leads to internal qi and quenches the body, tempers the muscles and bones with external forces, and has the power of a giant elephant when practiced to the extreme. These two thousand people have been practicing hard for more than a year, and they can barely achieve the same sword and shield.

In order to complete his work in one battle, Song Shujian did not hesitate to mobilize 1,000 hoplites in one go, firstly, to test the results of the battle, and secondly, to improve the actual combat ability and facilitate future improvements.

Seeing that the three banners launched a fierce attack on the middle road at the same time, Xiao Qianli chuckled and said: "Mr. Song is so bold, the heavy infantry that he has worked so hard to build, he actually does not arrange light and heavy cavalry and crossbowmen to respond, and directly exposes them to the front of the formation.

Song Shujian said with a smile: "The head of the sect has seen the Ming Sect, a group of stragglers are brave, and there is no need to arrange them according to the military formation, and this time the purpose is to train the troops, so that these people can see the blood, and there is no need to bother more." ”

In the end, it is a soldier's style, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. Xiao Qianli nodded and didn't say much.

only heard Cheng Jun's loud shout, and the two people and horses had already collided head-on.

The 100 heavy infantry at the front exhaled in unison, their left arms were struggling, and they suddenly inserted the giant shield into the ground, and the more than ten Mingjiao disciples who rushed the fastest were unable to regain their momentum, and they hit their heads against the shield wall, and immediately screamed again and again.

Before the Mingjiao followers could react, the second team of heavy infantry stepped forward three steps, roaring like thunder, and the second long knife slashed straight down, the sound was like thunder, just a round of knife light, seven or eight self-confident Mingjiao members were split in half from head to toe, and blood from their brains flew all over the sky.

Three steps and one wave of the knife, six steps and one shield, the three banners of the Ming Sect, which rushed up like a stormy wave, suddenly stopped before reaching this black shield wall. The sword is wielded, and the human and horse equipment is shattered!

Cheng Jun had completely discarded his temperament, relying on a strange force, he broke away from the shield array and rushed straight into the crowd, with a wave of his left hand, the dragon swallowing shield flew out with a whirlwind, beating a Ming sect member to the point that the ribs in his chest were broken, and he vomited blood to death, and lifted the Qiuli knife in his right hand, cutting off the other person's waist, and the colorful intestines suddenly flowed to the ground.

With a move of his left hand, the dragon-swallowing shield flew back again, and the two scimitars that rushed to his side with two bells blocked the two scimitars rushing to his side, and his right hand swept over, and the two ownerless heads flew straight up, and when he rushed over, the two headless corpses fell down.

It will be the courage of the three armies, although Cheng Jun does not know military affairs, but seeing that the main general is invincible, a group of hoplites are also stimulated to scream, and the sword and shield array composed of a thousand people not only resisted the attack of the three major banners of Mingjiao like a tide, but moved forward step by step, beating the other party to defeat and retreat, and killing corpses all over the field.

Cheng Jun rushed up, and suddenly felt a cold killing machine rushing towards him, he had a simple temperament, but he was not a stupid person. At the moment, he took two steps back, stretched out his left hand, and the dragon-swallowing shield protected the vital point, only to hear a strange sound of "bell", and a strong force came from the shield surface, which shocked him to almost hold the unstable shield.

He was not surprised, and laughed: "Finally, there is someone who can fight, hey, that kid, what's your name?"

A middle-aged man wearing a one-piece cloth hat and a white and red tight-fitting suit showed his figure, holding two arc moon scimitars, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and he said coldly: "The one who took your life, Song Yu, the commander of the Ming Sect!"

Cheng Jun was clumsy in his words, disdainful of fighting, but said with great joy: "Come on, come on-"

His body jumped up in the air, his left arm holding the shield slammed down, only to hear a loud bang, the dragon swallowing shield smashed heavily on the ground, the earth roared, Zhang Xu Fangyuan was dusty, and several Mingjiao members next to him were unstable on their footing, and they suddenly fell down.

"Bah, bah, bah......" Cheng Jun jumped up, spit out the sand in his mouth, turned his head to look around, but the opponent in front of him disappeared without a trace, except for a few Mingjiao members who were shaken and affected were still struggling to get up, and there was no figure of Song Yu, the banner envoy of the earth.

"Immeasurable magic method to send streamers, except for my Prison Shadow!" Song Yu's figure appeared three feet behind Cheng Jun like a ghost, and shouted in a low voice, "Boy, suffer death!"

Cheng Jun's eyes were quick, and as soon as he realized that there was a murderous aura behind him, he didn't think about it, and his right hand swept backwards with the knife. Unexpectedly, Song Yu laughed cruelly, the two scimitars hooked one by one, and locked the knife rod with a "dang long" sound, and the arc moon knife in his right hand slanted upward, if it wasn't for Cheng Jun to let go in time, I was afraid that even a few fingers would be cut off.

Song Yu was born in the Burning Shadow lineage, and was proficient in the "Imperial Ember Annihilation Order" technique, hiding in the dark dust, taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, and was able to calmly hide behind the enemy, without the slightest breath leaking, thus causing a fatal blow when the enemy was not guarded. Seeing Cheng Jun's ferocity, he immediately opened the distance with a phantom light step, dodged the earth-shattering blow, and then jumped behind the opponent and easily surrendered Cheng Jun's weapon.

Qiu got rid of the knife and changed to an ordinary person, he was already frightened, and he just wanted to get out and run for his life. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jun is sword and shield are used together, Mo Daofu flew out of his hand, and the dragon swallowing shield in his left hand slapped sideways with a "woo", and his strength was extremely fierce.

Song Yu was about to take advantage of the situation to backstab the opponent's life, but he only felt the strong wind on his side, and he reflexively raised the knife to block, "click", an arc moon knife was broken by the roots, and a strong force surged up along the broken hilt, which suddenly shocked Song Yu's chest and blood churning, and hurriedly jumped back and withdrew more than ten steps.

"What a brute force!" Song Yu grinned, threw away the broken knife, and pulled out a scimitar from his back again, the knife flashed, and a streamer had already rushed towards Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun smiled, stretched out his right hand, and the Qiuli knife that fell to the ground flew straight up, was grabbed by his backhand, and shouted loudly: "Come again!"

The two collided fiercely in one place, fighting fiercely, and suddenly a miserable cry came from a distance, and Zhan Beiye, Li Lanlai, and others, who were covered in blood, were all shocked, and they all looked back in unison, and there was only one thought in their hearts: "Could it be that something happened to Tutian?"
