Chapter 102 101. Battle on the Hillside 2
Seeing two evil spirits rushing up at the same time, Suldak elbowed He Boqiang.
Once Augustus and Cagle can't stand it, the two of them must stand at the front to ensure that the shield wall here will not be overwhelmed by the evil spirits.
The bearded Cagle held a shield in his hand, and complained loudly to Augustus: "You are such a madman!"
Although he said so, facing the evil spirits rushing up, he could only bend his knees and lunge to assume a defensive posture, and at the same time he called his comrades around him to take half a step back, although these heavy armored infantry fighters had to fight back with all their might The evil spirits came up, but the people who mainly resisted the evil spirits' attacks were Big Beard and Augustus.
At the moment when the evil spirit rushed up, the shield wall suddenly moved back half a step, and the two shield-wielding warriors stood out.
Before the heavy armored infantry soldiers in other places had time to issue a warning, the two evil spirits had already bumped into them. The shields in the hands of Augustus and Cagle flashed a layer of silver runes. The light on the shield was blazing, and it was too late for the two evil spirits to stop suddenly. They slammed into the two of them heavily, and the sharp ax in their hands slashed towards the heads of the two who were hiding in the shield.
He Boqiang and Suldak had been prepared for a long time. At the moment when the sawtooth axe of the two evil spirits fell, they rushed forward with the shields in their hands to fill their positions, and firmly blocked the two evil spirits against the shield wall. outside.
Of course, the heavy armored infantry soldiers hiding behind the shield wall would not let go of such a rare opportunity. They stabbed out the Paglio spears in their hands one after another, piercing several **** holes in the evil spirits. After the two evil spirits were injured, , a stronger force erupted, the large sawtooth ax in his hand smashed on the pierced spears, and several Paglio spears fell under the shock.
Several ropes that had been prepared were thrown out one after another, and they were put on the body of the strong evil spirit.
At this time, Augustus and the bearded Cagle had already recovered from the shock, and they faced the evil spirit again desperately, stabbing the long sword in their hands at the evil spirit's lower abdomen. Thick blood splashed all over Augustus.
This guy is a lunatic, he didn't care about the stinky black blood, he raised his shield against the evil spirit, and didn't give the evil spirit any chance to breathe.
The soldiers of the second team behind pulled the rope vigorously at the same time, dragging the evil spirit to the ground.
Suldak swiftly rushed to the side of the ghost's head, grabbed the short horn of the ghost warrior with one hand, and chopped off his head.
Seeing the scene where the second team was facing the evil spirits head-on, the other infantry teams around them also had complicated eyes, some showed shock on their faces, some showed envy, and some had ridicule on their faces first, everyone Their expressions were different, few heavy armored infantry squads were able to fight back and kill evil spirits so easily in front of the formation.
These gazes were easily dealt with by the two evil spirits, and the morale of the infantry soldiers around the shield wall was boosted, and they flocked to the other three evil spirits.
Although the three evil spirits had broken through the shield wall and dozens of infantry soldiers were injured, they were surrounded by infantry soldiers who rushed up from behind. Paglio pierced the evil spirit's body with his spear until the evil spirit's huge body crashed down.
Looking at the second team, the heads of the two decapitated evil spirits have been chopped off. Captain Suldak reprimanded Augustus while peeling off the black-striped demon skin on the evil spirits. Most of the skin has been peeled off.
After blocking this wave of attacks, the auxiliary soldiers controlling the bed crossbow will run to a distant slope. Before the second wave of evil spirits rush up, they will chop off the heads of those evil spirits who were killed by the giant crossbow arrows on the battlefield. , At the same time, all those giant crossbow bolts must be retrieved.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. Maybe the order at this time is to stand by at the same time, and the next moment will require the bed crossbow to reach the top of the **** immediately, or there will be a group of evil spirits dividing from the main battlefield and continue to attack the **** where the bed crossbow is located. The time of the bed crossbow auxiliary soldiers is very limited.
The second team instantly became the most popular warrior team. The captain of the crossbowmen offered an invitation to Suldak. As long as the second team was willing to clean up the battlefield, they could share the spoils on the battlefield with the crossbowmen.
Of course, Suldak would not refuse this kind of good deed. With a light wave of his hand, the soldiers of the second team rushed to the **** below.
Another wave of giant crossbow arrows flew past He Boqiang and shot towards the main battlefield in the distance. Several evil spirits were pierced through their bodies by the giant crossbow arrows...
At this time, Suldak and He Boqiang rushed to the evil spirit farthest from the position, and saw a huge crossbow arrow stuck in his groin, and he fell down on the grass on the hillside. Seeing human infantry soldiers approaching, they immediately Fa ruthlessly picked up the sharp ax in his hand, reluctantly cut off the giant crossbow on his body, and even brought half of the crossbow pierced into his body, stood up from the ground with a sawtooth big ax in his hand, and assumed a fighting posture.
The auxiliary soldier who came to clean the battlefield was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, threw away all the weapons and shields in his hands, and desperately got up from the ground, screaming and running back.
Suldak and He Boqiang didn't flinch, they didn't even hesitate, they raised a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and attacked the evil spirit from both sides.
The evil ghost had a huge crossbow bolt stuck in his body, and his movements were clumsy, and the giant ax in his hand slashed towards Suldak somewhat far-fetchedly.
Suldak waved his shield to meet him.
The huge ax collided with the shield, and countless silver runes burst out from the shield. Those runes seemed to have a huge repulsive force, causing the evil ghost to slightly raise the hand holding the axe. He Boqiang pierced the evil ghost's heart with a sword...
Before the auxiliary soldier ran away, the seriously injured ghost fell to the ground on his back, and was cut off by Suldak's sword, and then ran back with a pale face. With the giant crossbow broken in two, the auxiliary soldier could only wipe the sweat off his face in embarrassment, and smiled humbly at Suldak and He Boqiang.
The soldiers of the second team quickly cleaned up the battlefield in front of the hillside, and before the second wave of evil spirits rushed up, they returned smoothly with four heads of evil spirits.
The evil spirits felt the threat of the bed crossbow, and sent more evil spirits to rush to the **** here, but they were blocked by heavy cavalry who came in diagonally.
The coachman raised his whip and drove Gu Bolai's horses that had recovered some strength. With the help of the infantry soldiers, these bed crossbows finally turned their wheels again and moved to the top of the slope, leaving dozens of deep trails on the hillside. Rut marks.
The battle lasted until the afternoon, and the evil spirits on the front line were considered to be withdrawn. These evil spirits were unable to break through the defense line on the hillside to destroy these bed crossbows, but the heavy cavalry regiments that fought with them were also damaged. It was terrible. Although the twenty bed crossbows fired nearly a thousand giant crossbow arrows in half a day, this did not reduce the casualties of the heavy cavalry.
The evil spirits left nearly a hundred corpses and retreated to the depths of Moyunling.
The heavy cavalry also fell more than 200 heavy cavalry soldiers in this short period of half a day.
There are traces left by the battle everywhere on the battlefield. The horseshoes almost trampled the turf on the battlefield. Some ancient Bolai horses were lying on the battlefield wearing heavy armor. The heads were chopped off by a sharp axe, and some of the horses' legs were broken from them. Every eight horses were chained together. As long as three or five horses fell, it meant that the heavy cavalry temporarily lost their combat capabilities.
After the heavy armored infantry regiment entered the battlefield, they quickly rescued the heavy cavalry on the battlefield. There are many mountains and forests here, and the stretcher is very simple to make.
Looking at the hundreds of fallen horses on the battlefield, Augustus rubbed his injured right arm, and complained helplessly:
"I ate horse meat again tonight, I hope this time the kebabs don't smell like ghosts..."
