The long arrows fell into the advancing army, and countless people fell on the charging road. There were more dead bodies in front of the Xiliang formation. Facing the Xiliang hedgehog-like formation, the defenders were helpless.
Shields, spears, archers, integrated offense and defense, they can't rush to the Xiliang soldiers in a single formation!
After paying the price of hundreds of deaths, the Acropolis troops did not dare to move forward. The sharp spears did not look good anywhere, they were really terrifying.
Wenjie who was behind did not see the large formation in front. He only saw the army stopped in front and did not continue to rush forward. Half of the troops behind were attacked by enemy archers!
Only the army in the middle, that is, the army starting from the Acropolis, fought with the Xiliang army.
Black Dragon led several of his subordinates to the front, each holding a machete, and cut down an unknown number of people.
A thousand Xiliang archers behind them fired a hail of arrows, creating an open space in the enemy's formation.
Wenjie felt something was wrong. The armies on the left and right did not break through the Xiliang formation first as expected. Now they were blocked, and the army in the middle was continuously shot and killed by the enemy's archers.
He knew military affairs, and archers were very useful on the battlefield. He had also thought about training a group of archers, but it was impossible to train a qualified archer without long-term training.
Seeing Xiliang archers constantly harvesting his troops, he had nothing to do!
At this moment, a commander from the army on the left ran to where Wenjie was with a long arrow stuck in his body.
"General, the enemy has set up a hedgehog formation and we can't break through!"
"Hedgehog formation?" Wenjie asked the two generals on the left and right. The two generals shook their heads. They had never heard of hedgehog formation.
The commander with long arrows in his body said: "The opponent resisted the attack with a shield, and the spears came out of the shield, and there were a large number of archers in the middle. Our army could not break through the opponent's shield formation and spear formation, and could only be shot and killed by the opponent's archers.
!”
As Wenjie listened, he suddenly thought of some ways to break the formation, such as using archers or catapults, but they don't have any of these now!
A general on the side stood up and said: "General, why don't I lead a thousand people as the vanguard to break this hedgehog formation for them?"
The speaker was one of the three commanders among the three thousand disciples of the Acropolis, with a second-rate level of strength!
"Are you sure?" Wenjie didn't want to send out the Acropolis disciples right now. These disciples were his trump card and his last remaining strength!
The commander said confidently: "Our team is training to break the formation, please don't worry, general!"
"Okay, then I wish the general will break through the formation and return!" Wenjie said.
"That's easy to say!" The commander laughed, saluted and walked downstairs. Soon, a thousand bright red men and horses set off with all kinds of strange equipment.
On the front line, the Xiliang army's formation is like a city wall that keeps all the enemies outside. Want to get inside the city wall? You can only get inside by jumping up. Of course, when you get inside, you will be a cold corpse!
Some smarter people went around from both sides and went directly to the farm not far away. Their mission was to support the farm. Now they can go to the farm first!
But they didn't know that the fighting in the farm was even more terrifying. The fighting outside would still take some time to reach its final moment. The fighting in the farm camp had already entered its final moment. The Xiliang army was furious. At this time, as long as anyone wearing red
They are all their enemies, and there is only one attitude towards their enemies, either you die or I die!
The camp was full of corpses, the air was filled with the smell of meat and burning, and the tents had been set on fire.
This is war!
Some people in the Acropolis troops began to flee. They did not dare to fight with the Xiliang army anymore. They had young and old at home, and they were soldiers just to make a living!
The Xiliang soldiers could only chase and kill them, but they fought all the way, and their physical strength was very exhausted. They could not compare with these Acropolis troops who had rested for a long time in the back and had not gone to the front line to fight.
The Acropolis troops who fought their way into the camp from the other side became the targets of the Xiliang army's pursuit!
Just coming out of the wolf's mouth, these soldiers were lucky to have escaped. When they saw the red-eyed Xiliang soldiers, they felt that they might have broken into the tiger's mouth. One look at those Xiliang soldiers made them feel scared!
Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong were also furious, but they still had some sense in their hearts. The enemies in the camp were dying and running away, and there were still a large number of enemies outside waiting for them to fight.
The two people were surrounded by soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters. Of the two thousand soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters, there were less than a thousand left. The rest had either died in battle or lost their combat effectiveness.
They won't be left behind!
"Follow me and kill!"
The two brothers turned around and rushed to the other side of the battlefield, but the speed was not very fast. They were humans, not machines, and they would also feel tired.
As soon as the two men moved the flag, the soldiers who saw the flag on the battlefield followed the action first. The flag was a guidepost on the battlefield, and the soldiers generally followed the flag!
Otherwise, there are people everywhere, how do you want them to see the road? How do you want them to follow the general?
This is the role of the big flag.
The commander of the Acropolis came to the front with his army and saw the Xiliang formation, with some corpses hanging on the spears. On the way they were attacked by two rounds of archers.
These Xiliang archers are very strong. The leather armor of ordinary soldiers cannot block the opponent's long arrows. Their iron armor will also be damaged if they are hit by the long arrows!
"Take the formation hammer!" the commander shouted, and his soldiers first took out a small round hammer head, then took out the gun shaft, and connected it to a long weapon, one foot long. Such a hammer can only be used by military personnel.
It can only be used by medium-sized and strong men.
The Xiliang soldiers couldn't see what these people were doing, because they also set up shields. Both sides were shields. You couldn't see me, and I couldn't see you!
"rush!"
The commander shouted, and the shield troops of the Acropolis rushed forward. When they saw the opponent's shield rushing towards them, the Xiliang side also took warning.
The Acropolis soldiers holding the formation-breaking hammer held the hammer tightly with both hands. At this time, someone was helping them carry the hammer. When they were about to get close to the enemy, they relied on speed and swung it with all their strength!
boom!
The shield was placed on the Xiliang spear, and the Xiliang soldier pushed forward with all his strength. The huge force and the sharpness of the spear easily pierced the shield and injured the person holding the shield.
attack!
The strongman of the Acropolis holding a sledgehammer no longer kept a low profile at this time, and swung the hammer forward with all his strength. The soldier holding the shield fell to the side, making way for the hammer.
The swordsman on Xiliang's side reacted quickly. The moment he saw the hammer, the soldier holding the shield stood up and raised his shield.
Bang!
With a violent sound, the Xiliang soldiers fell to the ground. The arm holding the shield was disabled. They fell to the ground and vomited bright red blood from their mouths.
More than a hundred swordsmen stood up to block the blow for the formation.
The Acropolis soldiers were a little confused. Don’t these people in front of them know what it means to be afraid?
When most people see a hammer coming, don’t they want to run away or avoid it? Why do these people hit it on their own?
"Pressure!" The commander of the Xiliang troops was extremely angry when he saw the appearance of those swordsmen, but on the surface he was indifferent, because he knew that anger could not solve the problem!
After hearing the order, just when the Acropolis troops were about to smash it again, the Xiliang soldiers stepped forward and stabbed those people with their sharp spears. If the opponent held a shield, they would add infuriating energy to the spear!
The seriously injured swordsmen were transported to the back. When they used the hammer, they used zhenqi to protect their bodies. Otherwise, even if they were strong, they would be killed by the hammer. The attack power of the hammer is not generally strong.
, specially designed to break armor and destroy formations!
The Xiliang army presses forward, while the soldiers of the city guards are constantly retreating. It is obvious that the Xiliang army has given them no chance to attack again!
The army and guards surrounding Xiliang all had only one thought at this time: how could they get into the middle of the enemy, especially the moving army?
Haori was half hanging in the west. This battle was not over yet. Cheng Jushu came to the main battlefield with his troops who had recovered some strength.
At first glance, it is all bright red, but if you look a little closer, you will find that there is a lot of black in the red.
The one that was too close was the army on the left, and they rushed in without hesitation with their 3,000 capable troops.
The Acropolis troops surrounding the Xiliang army saw the troops appearing behind them and killed them without thinking. The two brothers Cheng Jushu rushed forward without hesitation.
The mental method they practiced was the mental method given to them by their lord, and they found that it fit very well. Their usual cultivation speed could barely keep up with ordinary people, but after arriving on the battlefield, they found that with the war, while they were fighting, the inner method in their bodies was running on their own, and their cultivation speed was at
accelerate!
The same goes for the Xiliang soldiers he leads, who continue to become stronger in the battle!
With a swing of the big ax, the Acropolis soldiers were killed without even a chance to resist. This is the terror of these two people!
The soldiers at the back entered a bloodthirsty state, chasing and slashing those Acropolis soldiers, and a strong aura of killing surrounded them.
The Acropolis soldiers felt scared!
After suffering more than 300 casualties, the soldiers who carried the Acropolis with the army on the left retreated without hesitation. The Xiliang formation pressed forward for more than a hundred meters, and the ground was full of corpses.
The energy in the hearts of the soldiers at the Acropolis had almost disappeared during the confrontation with the Xiliang army.
Cheng Jushu and others came to attack, frightening the guardsmen surrounding the Xiliang formation!
At this time, in addition to the army in the middle fighting with the troops led by Heilong, the Xiliang formations on the left and right were surrounded by enemies. The Xiliang troops did not suffer much losses, but the troops surrounding them were different!
While the Xiliang soldiers were defending, the archers were shooting continuously, killing who knows how many people!
Wenjie at the rear was a little panicked. All his 40,000 troops were sent out to besiege the Xiliang army, but so far they still haven't made any progress.
"General, can you withdraw the troops at your expense?" A general on the side suggested: "It is getting dark now. It will be detrimental to our army to continue fighting!"
Just when Wenjie was about to agree, he saw a little change on the frontline battlefield. The army in the middle had not changed much. The two sides were still fighting with no intention of stopping!
The troops of the army on the left are retreating, and the entire army is retreating, as if something is forcing them to retreat!
"What happened to the army on the left?" Wenjie asked a middle-level military officer responsible for front and rear communications.
The middle-level military officer also looked confused, but he quickly turned around and said: "General, I don't know what happened, so I'm going to send someone to ask!"
A scout rode on horseback and ran towards the army on the left. The army on the left was retreating little by little. The middle-level military officers above the captain could no longer be seen. There were still some soldiers throwing away their weapons and running into the distance!
He ran forward, trying to figure out what was wrong ahead!
At this time, the troops on both sides of the Xiliang Formation stood up like giant rocs spreading their wings. The soldiers who originally surrounded the army and defended the city were either killed or cut off. Cheng Jushu and his two brothers came from behind with their men.
.
Problems and chaos began to occur on the left battlefield, and the Xiliang army began to counterattack.
The strongest thing about long swordsmen is not their defense, but their offense. Throwing their shields aside, they are like tigers coming out and attacking the Acropolis army!
At two meters tall, they stood much taller than the Acropolis soldiers, and the swords in their hands were longer than the weapons in the hands of the Acropolis soldiers!
kill!
The Xiliang battle flag was pushed forward, announcing that the war had entered the counterattack stage. Facing the counterattack of the Xiliang army, these defenders, who had long been defeated by the Xiliang troops, resisted for a while, turned around and ran away.
Because there were so many people, it was not obvious at first. When the Xiliang army launched a full-scale attack to hunt down these soldiers, a huge rout occurred!
The frontline troops fought with the Xiliang army for a while, and found that they and others had no resistance in front of these people. They were killed in pieces, and the soldiers collapsed and retreated!
When the soldiers behind saw the soldiers in front running away, the soldiers behind also ran away. Some middle-level military officers wanted to stop these soldiers. The Xiliang troops came up and easily killed several soldiers who were masters in their eyes. Isn't this what these people were thinking about?
Fighting with Xiliang, but how to run faster!
Most of these people are farmers who have just put down their hoes. Wenjie has just arrived and started training. Some of them have only practiced a few crop tricks. They are soldiers like Xiliang City who have mental skills and are proficient in killing.
In comparison, they are too weak!
In the eyes of the Xiliang soldiers, these soldiers are worse than the garrison in Xiliang City. The Xiliang garrison is the weakest unit of the Xiliang army. Those who are stronger have already entered the seventh army, not the garrison!
Except for a small number of people outside the customs who have no cultivation at all, the remaining people who can be driven outside the customs do not have any cultivation or special qualities.
The scouts who were sent to investigate the situation saw a shocking scene. Their Acropolis troops were being chased by the Xiliang army, and the army was defeated!
The scouts immediately galloped back to the rear. At this time, a similar scene appeared on the battlefield on the right, with the Xiliang army chasing after them and the defenders running in front.
The previous teams consumed the morale and physical strength of the Acropolis troops. The Xiliang army was on defense most of the time. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for a long time!
