Chapter 400: Halberdier Tonks
"Hurry! Follow me."
A Sarleon assault swordsman shouted that in order to prevent the new recruits from being idle, the two barons chose to let one veteran lead ten new recruits, and then put such a group in the front, while the remaining veterans stayed behind, fully playing the role of cannon fodder.
Zhang Yang was naturally included in such a cannon fodder group, and because he was holding a large round shield, he was arranged to walk in the front.
He was fine with that.
Directly ahead, the Dashar army was approaching, and was also equipped with more than seventy cavalrymen following behind.
When the two sides were about 200 meters away, the sound of drums suddenly rang out from the opposite Dasha position, and two more Dasha armies joined the battlefield. At the same time, a cavalry of more than 100 people moved and encircled from the left wing.
As the Dashars made their move, Sarion's main force immediately joined in, and a cavalry of 300 men in the south began to trot.
But the cavalry led by Duke Elfwan remained motionless, because the golden heavy cavalry of the Dashar people on the opposite side had not moved.
Zhang Yang had no time to grasp the above-mentioned battlefield situations, or even if he knew them it would be useless because his enemies were ahead.
Before his eyes, the Wanderer system has already given the situation of the enemy's troops.
The vanguard is the 100+ Dasha spearmen, which, like the Sarleon militia, are low-level soldiers of level 10.
Then there were about 50+ senior Dasha spearmen, interspersed with more than 30 Dasha longswordmen, who were veterans of the same level as the Sarion Assault Swordsmen.
However, compared with the pure melee assault swordsmen, these long swordmen also have 280 points of weapon throwing proficiency and level 6 throwing skills, which is quite shocking to Zhang Yang.
As for behind these Dasha long-sword warriors, there are 40+ Dasha sword masters and Dasha summer scorpion assassins, and 100+ archers.
In terms of troop deployment alone, it exceeds Zhang Yang's side, after all, there are more than a hundred more low-level soldiers.
At this time, as the two sides approached one hundred meters, their respective archers quickly took up their positions and began rounds of shooting.
"Go! Go up!"
The old soldiers shouted ferociously, and more than 50 of their own cavalrymen also ran, which immediately attracted the cavalry of Dasha to rush out to intercept them.
The infantry of both sides began to charge the last 100 meters under a hail of arrows from each other.
“Swoosh!”
"Duoduo!"
"ah!"
Sharp screams continued to ring out. More than a dozen low-level soldiers on Zhang Yang's side were shot dead or injured in a short period of time, and the same was true for the low-level soldiers on the opposite side.
This is the role of this cannon fodder group.
"Hurry! If you don't want to be shot to death, run faster."
The veterans shouted, but each of them was very experienced, holding their shields, spreading out in formation, taking small steps, saving their energy, and preparing for close combat in a moment.
At a distance of 100 meters, the archers of both sides only had time to shoot two or three rounds. Due to the neat shooting, the casualties were still very heavy. Both the enemy and our side paid the price of fifty to sixty people each. Even Zhang Yang's large round shield was pierced with five feather arrows.
He rushed very fast at the beginning, but when he was more than 30 meters away from the opposite side, he immediately slowed down and raised the big round shield, because the next moment, a lot of flying knives and darts would be swung at him. This is the most disgusting thing about the Dasya people. They are obviously very strong in close combat, but they can still throw.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of low-ranking soldiers at the front began to scream. They would not die from being hit by a flying knife or a dart, but it was very painful. They screamed when it hurt, and the screams caused chaos.
However, at this time, the Sarion veterans who had been hiding behind finally stopped shrinking, and nearly 60 assault swordsmen rushed out holding small round shields.
This is their advantage. When engaging the enemy in close combat, they can run very fast and cover the distance of more than 30 meters in the blink of an eye.
With the steel shield smashing and the long sword swinging, more than 50 spearmen on the opposite side were killed in just a few breaths.
At this point, the veterans on both sides engaged in direct combat.
Zhang Yang, who had luckily escaped the fate of the cannon fodder group, quickly untied the leather bag on his back, threw away the spear he used for cover, and pulled his hand behind his back. An iron spear came into his hand. He took a step forward, leaned back, and raised the iron spear in his right hand sharply, like pulling open a large bow. After a one-second pause, he accumulated momentum and threw it out instantly.
Forty meters away, a Dasha long-sword fighter had just got ready when a black shadow flashed and he was hit in the face by the three-pound iron spear, killing him with a single blow to the head.
With just this one strike, he dealt 60 points of damage.
375 experience points obtained.
But such good luck is rare.
Two seconds later, Zhang Yang threw out the iron spear again, but it only dealt 32 points of damage, and before he could make up for it, the kill was taken away.
He did not dwell on it and seized the opportunity to throw out three iron spears one after another, assisting the veterans in killing three long-sword men. This invisibly gave his side a certain advantage in the local small battlefield.
However, before Zhang Yang threw the last iron spear, he suddenly felt frightened and hurriedly raised his large round shield. With two thuds, the spear hit the large round shield with such force that it even made him stagger.
“Stand back!”
A figure suddenly blocked Zhang Yang's way, and he heard a loud clanging sound, as if at least a dozen arrows were being shot.
Zhang Yang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was because his throwing attack just now attracted the attention of the veteran on the opposite side, so he was focused on by fire.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Yang looked up and saw a Sarion Guard who was at least 1.90 meters tall, wearing heavy armor, a red cloak, and holding a magic rune shield.
These are veterans among veterans, the elite among the elite.
The other party did not respond to Zhang Yang's thanks, but just rushed forward. This was the core combat force of their side going into battle, a total of 15 Sarleon Guards, plus more than 30 Sarleon Halberd Soldiers. Their deployment would inevitably bring the most terrifying torrent, no matter who the enemy was.
Zhang Yang quickly moved his legs to catch up. This was the thigh on the battlefield and he had to hold on to it.
At this time, the other side finally dispatched the Dasha Sword Saint and Scorpio Assassin. In terms of personal combat power and luxurious equipment, they could not be compared with the Sarion Guards, but they won in numbers.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Sarleon uses halberd soldiers in conjunction with the Royal Guards. If they are used well, the infantry will be invincible; if they are used poorly, the death of a Royal Guard will be a huge loss.
The Dashar people obviously understood this, and almost all of their archers were shooting arrows in that direction, while Sarion's archers were fighting back desperately.
Because this is the core of the battlefield, all strategies and all actions must revolve around the core.
But at this moment, a team of more than 20 Dasha cavalry suddenly came from the side and headed straight for the position of the Sarion archers.
This is fatal. Our cavalry is currently fighting with an equal number of Dasha cavalry and there is no way to protect them.
"It's bad!"
Zhang Yang thought to himself, their unit is currently in the center of the battlefield, and was thrown out to complete the main force's strategy. It is likely that they will die a miserable death .
Another feather arrow came and made a Sarleon halberd soldier beside Zhang Yang groan. Although they were wearing heavy armor, they were not holding shields. Now their own archers were in a state of being unable to take care of themselves, which meant that they were used as targets by the Dasya people.
Zhang Yang quickly raised his large round shield to protect the halberd soldier who was sweating profusely but remained silent.
"call out!"
Another arrow whizzed over and hit Zhang Yang's big round shield like being hit by a hammer.
"It's the Dasha Archer!"
"And there are more than one." The halberd soldier snorted. The Dasxia people are a nomadic people with superb archery skills. Archers like this one have a level 8 strong bow skill and 380 points of archery proficiency, which is quite terrifying.
Before he could finish his words, another arrow was shot at him, which meant he was being targeted.
"Are you okay?"
Zhang Yang was holding up a large round shield. Due to the delay, the two of them were separated from the friendly forces in front.
"fine."
The other party's voice was very unclear, and the blood gushing from his chest proved that he was lying.
However, considering the rules of this world and the existence of the health bar, maybe this guy can really continue to fight.
Zhang Yang had no other choice but to hold up the big round shield, observe and move forward, blocking the powerful shots from the two Dasha archers several times in a row.
Then the other party gave up. There were so many targets and there was no need to fight to the death with Zhang Yang.
But Zhang Yang had already locked onto a Daxia archer at this time. Seeing that the other party had changed his target, he quietly pulled out his last iron spear, and suddenly rushed forward more than ten meters with his shield held high. When the Daxia archer drew his bow, an iron spear broke through the air, flew across a distance of more than eighty meters, and hit the archer directly in the face, killing him with one blow!
But this was not Zhang Yang's outstanding performance, but the fact that the opponent was a fixed target and did not notice it.
After obtaining 425 experience points, he quickly retreated and continued to cover the halberd soldier.
The halberd soldier saw the entire killing process, so he was quite surprised. Finally, he said, "My name is Tonks. If I am not dead, I will invite you to drink at the Temptress Tavern in Marion."
For Zhang Yang, this sentence is a message.
Halberdier Tonks's impression of you increases by 10. If the impression reaches 80 points, the recruitment option will be triggered.
Zhang Yang didn't take this information seriously, because Tonks' health bar was only one-third left, and it was hard to say whether she could survive.
But he really underestimated this big man who was 1.90 meters tall and looked like a violent bear.
When Zhang Yang, holding a shield, was guarding Tonks as he passed through the rain of arrows and caught up with the main force, they heard a roar. Facing two Dasha long-sword warriors, Tonks swung the nearly three-meter-long heavy halberd in his hand. With a click, one of the long-sword warriors on the opposite side was chopped away with his shield. The remaining long-sword warrior took a step forward and slashed at him with his sword. Zhang Yang quickly raised his shield to block, but the power disparity was too great and he was chopped back two steps.
But in the next second, Tonks swung her halberd heavily and cut the second long swordsman in half. It was so brutal.
"Don't help me, just take care of yourself."
Tonks said in a muffled voice, a little breathless, with blood spurting out of her chest.
At this time, Zhang Yang rushed towards the first long-sword man. Just now, Tonks had knocked down four-fifths of his health bar with one move, and he was knocked down and now had little health left.
Shields rushed, hatchets smashed.
Another 375 experience points were obtained.
Successfully upgraded to level 8.
Looking back at Tonks who was grinning and not caring about her head being stolen, Zhang Yang decisively added attribute points to intelligence, and then he clicked on the surgery skill.
Level 2 surgery should be able to save this guy, right?
