Chapter 653 Unexpected Obstacle
"Jump in, jump into their team."
The warriors behind the enemy were shouting, reminding the warriors in the front and helping them escape from danger. If they
can't break through the defense, then jumping over these shields and jumping into the battle formation is a good way.
The enemies who were dizzy and lost their horses after hitting the shields also sobered up a little, and stepped on the corpses or horses beside them, trying to cross the neatly arranged Alliance Shields.
"One step back, retreat."
The voice of the enemy was loud and echoed on the battlefield, but in the end not everyone could hear it clearly.
But as he mobilized the tortoise shell shield, the other shields seemed to be drawn and retreated in unison.
The neat shield formation took a step back, and many enemies who wanted to jump in directly rode on the shields.
Without Li's order, the warriors in the back thrust out their spears, and further away, the archers also shot directly at the enemies.
"Take a step forward, go."
Li roared again, and then raised his shield and took the lead.
Many enemies were preparing to launch a fierce attack, but they were hit head-on by the shields, and their heads were immediately broken and bleeding.
"Archers throw and shoot, spearmen jump and stab, go."
Li gave the order again, raised his large tortoise shell shield, and took a step forward.
The entire battle line rushed forward and hit the enemy fiercely. The spearmen in the back even jumped up by stepping on their comrades' thighs and stabbed behind the shields in the air.
The big shield stood up, leaving no gaps. If you want to attack, you can only jump over the shield.
The shield's advance and retreat are in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy will obviously suffer a lot.
The battle was tense for a while, and the herdsmen leader Cassel was pulled to the back by the warriors. After a while, he finally woke up.
"Retreat."
Looking at the battle formation that was moving forward and backward as if it was one, he ordered the army to retreat without hesitation.
The cavalry, who had lost their speed, had no advantage against these heavy infantry.
The enemies began to retreat one after another, and there were fewer and fewer enemies in front of them, but he didn't want to stop the war.
"Giant wolf."
He waved his hand, called his mount, put the turtle shell back on his body, and summoned more than 5,000 wolves on the right to rush out.
"Charge past, don't linger in the fight."
He gave orders to the warriors while running.
The enemy's individual combat ability is strong, and it is definitely not suitable to stop and fight. It is better to rush past with speed.
Kill as many as possible, he doesn't want too much damage.
Five thousand wolves riding are not as loud as war horses, but their speed is so fast that I don't know if these war horses can match it.
The enemy's retreating formation was originally quite compact, but as the five thousand heavily armored wolf riders got closer and closer, they finally couldn't stand the pressure and began to flee.
"Divide into five, each fighting on their own."
He directly split the team and led a thousand wolf riders alone, charging at the front.
The other four teams spread out to the left and right like blooming lotus flowers, each pursuing their own targets.
The team led by him soon came into contact with the enemy, and the spear in his hand fiercely hit the back of the last enemy.
The enemy was also trying his best to dodge, but he didn't dodge, and the spear instantly stabbed him.
The enemy without armor could only resist with his own strength.
He only felt a great resistance on his hand, as if he was stabbing on an iron armor, but then he pierced through the "iron armor" and stabbed the enemy through.
The giant wolf accelerated and passed the enemy, and he let go of the gun handle. After passing the enemy, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed the half of the gun that was sticking out of the enemy's chest, and directly took the long gun back
. This method of taking back the long gun is only used when chasing. If it is a head-on battle, he can only abandon the long gun and draw the long sword at his waist.
Behind him, the guards following him quickly rushed forward and protected him.
After killing an enemy, he was no longer interested in charging on the front line and began to slowly slow down.
The thousand wolf riders led by him did not slow down. Led by the guards, they charged madly.
Most of these wolf riders were infantrymen who only brought out these giant wolves in order to hurry up, but there were also thousands of real wolf riders among them.
Unlike their fighting methods, the damage caused by these real wolf riders in the pursuit was far greater than theirs. The
real wolf riders would first shoot the enemy with arrows, and when they were close enough, they would throw the short guns hanging on the side of the giant wolf at the enemy, and finally stab the enemy with the long guns.
After using the long guns, they would pull out the latest curved knives developed at their waists to kill the enemy.
After this set of moves, there were basically not many enemies left in front of them.
"The enemy is brave, but not united."
He had completely stopped the giant wolf, and even the infantry camp had passed him to chase and kill the enemy.
"This is not good for us."
He's think tank replied with a smile.
He didn't laugh, his eyes looked east, because there was a cloud of black fog stagnant.
"The Soul Tribe is coming."
He's think tank looked in the direction of his gaze, his smile gradually disappeared, and his face became cold.
This Soul Tribe has always been very strange, wandering around the continent, collecting residual souls.
Wherever there is war, wherever there is killing, there are them.
"The Human King is coming too."
He looked east again. Although he did not see the Human King, he knew that he was on his way.
The Wolf Riders charged until they reached the enemy army.
After showing off their might in front of the enemy for a while and killing some enemies who had abandoned their horses and ran back, they returned.
"They don't dare to attack."
At night, beside the campfire, Yi's think tank said.
Yi nodded. This did not surprise him. If he were the enemy, he would retreat while there were still enough people and return to the desert to avoid the result of the whole army being wiped out.
But the enemy obviously did not do so. They chose to stay where they were, perhaps discussing the issue of whether to stay or go.
"We were defeated like this, and we only killed more than 500 people. These enemies are really powerful."
Yi's guard, the actual commander in the later stage of the battle, said.
"Their individual combat power is much stronger than our ordinary warriors. We need to find a way to make up for this gap as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to launch a full-scale war..."
The think tank did not continue, but the meaning was clear.
The morale of the crowd was a little low. They had captured a lone person before, and they fought alone, but no warrior could win.
"This is the revenge of Hermes. They will not launch a full-scale war before the residual consciousness of the saint disappears completely."
He did not like this depressed mood, and his words also made everyone more energetic.
"What's more, Taichu has been studying how to improve combat power. Zhao Xinghe, Zhuo Bai, and Hong Zhong have all demonstrated outstanding abilities."
The latter sentence completely boosted morale. When they mentioned these three little guys who were still babies, they became much more confident.
Although the three babies can't even speak well, they have already ignited the power of the totem early, and they have also performed quite well in absorbing spiritual energy.
This is the future of the tribe, proving that the tribe will get better and better.
"I wonder what they will become when they grow up."
The think tank sighed.
He is old and may die before the little guys grow up. He himself is not a witch or a leader, and his soul may be in chaos after entering the fairyland.
If that happens, he will not be able to see the future of the three little guys.
"They must be very powerful. Let's not talk about them. Just the golden wolf has performed well."
A guard from the wolf tribe said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The fighting power shown by the werewolves is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"It is the mission of each generation. All we can do is to fight this battle well. The rest will be done by the young people."
After saying this, he waved his hand and sent everyone away to rest.
"Marshal, do you also feel that your longevity is coming to an end?"
Everyone left, but the think tank stayed and asked.
He shook his head and said, "I don't feel that my longevity is coming to an end, but it is true that my strength is starting to decline."
In recent years, his strength has been at its peak, but since the beginning of the war, he can clearly feel that his strength is declining. His
strength is declining, but his longevity is still sufficient, so he can't feel the end of his life, and he doesn't know what's going on.
The think tank had a look of envy in his eyes, then nodded and returned to his tent to rest.
Li stood alone by the campfire for a while, watching the tribesmen of the Dark Soul Tribe collecting the souls of the enemies on the grassland.
He watched for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking. It was not until late at night that Li went back to rest.
The next morning, Li was awakened by a warrior.
"The enemy may be preparing to retreat?"
Li rubbed his still sleepy eyes and looked at the warrior in front of him.
"Yes, they have mobilized all the armored warriors to the west. They are either preparing to attack us or to retreat."
The warrior repeated what he had said before.
"Be vigilant and wait and see."
Li gave the military order, got up to eat, and then went to the front camp to watch.
The reason why he dared to act leisurely was that these 10,000 warriors had wolf cavalry and were not afraid of enemy raids at all.
The advantage of cavalry is that they can attack when advancing and flee when retreating.
"Retreat."
As soon as they arrived at the front army, news came back that the enemy was not coming here, but heading straight for the desert.
"Stop them?"
The think tank asked Li.
Li hesitated and thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
Blocking the enemy is equivalent to cutting off their retreat, which will make the enemy burst out with the courage to fight to the death.
With the enemy's strong individual combat power, the casualties on his side will definitely be great. He thinks it is better not to fight at this moment.
"Follow and send them away."
Li immediately gave the order.
The military order was issued, and the warriors began to pack up and prepare to follow. At this time, another spy reported back.
"The Soul Tribe blocked the enemy's retreat, and it seems that they are... preventing the enemy from leaving."
The spy said uncertainly.
He looked at his think tank, and then the two of them moved forward together, heading straight for the battlefield over there.
The guards naturally followed closely behind, and then the army also started, and they rushed over in such a hurry.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the battle had not started yet, but the confrontation distance between the two sides was already very close.
The arrival of ten thousand wolf riders made the enemy agitated for a while, but then they hugged each other tightly and walked towards the Soul Tribe.
The enemies who returned home were indeed determined to move forward.
