Chapter 102: Everything is under control
The addition of the skeleton soldiers changed the atmosphere on the field suddenly.
However, since Wang Luchong dared to bring people to fight this battle, he must have done psychological work for them in advance.
In addition, the sun had not yet set, and the afterglow shone brightly on the hillside, dispelling much of the terrifying aura from the skeleton soldiers.
Faced with the skeleton soldiers who were charging towards them without any fear of death, the warriors of the enemy tribe were nervous but not so scared.
“Kill!!!”
At that moment, they roared to build up courage and swung the stone axes in their hands fiercely.
Driven by the force, the stone axe was extremely destructive and hit the skeleton soldiers directly. Along with flying bone fragments, many skeleton soldiers were smashed to pieces on the spot.
"See? Those broken skeletons on the opposite side are nothing special! They can't even withstand a single blow!!"
Wang Luchong, who was hiding behind his own position, was overjoyed when he saw this. At the same time, he did not forget to boost his own morale while verbally attacking the enemy.
The enemy had more people and more power. On Zhou Xu's side, the tribal warriors were still hiding behind the shield wall and did not attack. The limited skeleton soldiers were quickly chopped to pieces by them, and they did not even pose much obstacle to the enemy tribal warriors who rushed up.
This suddenly boosted the opponent's originally low morale.
Even Wang Luchong's whole mental state became much more excited.
Just like how his subordinates just now destroyed the skeleton soldiers on the opposite side as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, as long as close combat breaks out, his military advantage can be brought into play.
This made Wang Luchong even more convinced that what he did was right.
“Push forward, push forward all at once! Push down that damn shield wall!!”
At the same time, according to Wang Luchong's idea, their morale was boosted by defeating the skeleton soldiers, and conversely, the other side should also be hit hard, resulting in low morale.
But in fact, behind this shield wall, the situation of Zhou Xu and others was completely different from what Wang Luchong imagined.
Behind the shield wall, the tribal members headed by Zhou Xu all looked calm at this moment.
Because they all knew very well that the battle had just begun.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
As their leader's power of mantra was activated again, under the traction of the invisible force, those skeleton soldiers that were broken apart suddenly "came back to life" with a "click" sound.
At the same time, due to the forward push of the opposing large force, now that these skeleton soldiers were resurrected, many of them directly squeezed into the opposing formation.
In an instant, accompanied by incredible screams, the inside became chaotic.
Seeing this, Wang Luchong quickly began to stabilize the situation.
After all, the tribal warriors under his command had just beaten those skeleton soldiers to pieces.
Although the skeleton soldiers who stood up again brought them a great shock at this moment, after realizing the difference in combat power between the skeleton soldiers and themselves, the tribal warriors on the opposite side did not completely lose their composure.
There were even some people who, when they saw the skeleton soldiers stand up again, instinctively reacted by swinging their axes and knocking them to the ground again.
For a moment, the opponent's offensive momentum really seemed unstoppable.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who used the power of mantra to pull up the skeleton soldiers again, was not panicked at all. At the same time, he continued to signal his soldiers to use spears and shield walls to resist the offensive of external enemies.
For the battle at hand, Zhou Xu's goal is not simply to win.
Through the previous simple analysis, everyone knows that the biggest problem in this battle is the casualties on both sides.
Facing an enemy of this size, even if they win in the end, if they suffer too many casualties on their side, then the loss may outweigh the gain.
What Zhou Xu wants now is to avoid this situation and exchange victory for the minimum casualties.
Under this premise, the key undoubtedly lies in the extent to which the skeleton soldiers can consume the opponent.
As a time traveler from the same place as Zhou Xu, Wang Luchong was obviously aware of this problem.
[In this battle, my biggest advantage is that I have more troops than the opponent. At the same time, the individual combat power of those skeleton soldiers is obviously weaker. But the trouble is that they can be pulled up continuously. If they continue to be consumed like this, my advantage will disappear sooner or later.]
[The most important thing right now is not to deal with those skeleton soldiers, but to break through the shield wall and directly attack the enemy forces behind the shield wall.]
Thinking of this, Wang Luchong quickly redeployed his forces, allocating a small number of people to deal with the skeleton soldiers while allowing the majority of the combat forces to attack the shield wall with all their strength.
Up to this point, everything was basically within Zhou Xu's expectations.
Faced with Wang Luchong's adjustments, he had no intention of adjusting his tactics. He just kept using the mantra to pull up the fallen skeleton soldiers again and again.
At the same time, the tribal members responsible for maintaining the shield wall, relying on the defensive area of the door panel shield, hid their entire bodies behind the door panel shield and cooperated with the attacks of the spearmen beside them to resist the enemy's offensive.
Although the number of enemies on the opposite side obviously exceeded theirs, facing Zhou Xu's combination of shield wall and spear, it was really impossible to break through in a short period of time.
Zhou Xu's "contradictory battle formation" could not be broken for a long time. On the other side, those troublesome skeleton soldiers were pulled up again and again.
For a moment, the situation was really terrible, which doubled the pressure on Wang Luchong.
Compared to individual human soldiers, the combat power of those skeleton soldiers was indeed not strong, but that fighting style did not require any regard for their bodies and lives. After several rounds, not only did it consume the physical strength of their tribe members, but it also left many of them injured.
There is no doubt that Zhou Xu's attrition tactics began to slowly show his value.
The longer this situation lasted, the more pressure Wang Luchong felt.
He now desperately wanted to break this situation, but he couldn't find a suitable way. Before he knew it, his entire forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat.
The growing anxiety in his heart seemed to have turned into some kind of catalyst, causing him to quickly turn his attention to the slingers around him.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Luchong made up his mind completely.
"Replace all the slings and follow me to support the main force!"
The only way to break the impasse right now is to further enhance one's offensive capability.
In this era, the distinction between ranged and melee arms is not so clear.
The reason for staying behind is, on the one hand, to be on the safe side, so that their side can always have long-range firepower to support the large force when necessary.
On the other hand, to put it bluntly, there are a total of twenty people who stay here to protect his safety.
In those small tribes, this might be all the fighting power of that tribe.
Even for Wang Luchong who has an army of a hundred people, the combat power of these twenty people cannot be ignored.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to stay alone behind, but chose to pick up his weapon and follow the twenty people to kill.
As a time traveler, he has managed to get to this point, so he still has some fighting ability.
During this time, Zhou Xu, who was at one end of the battlefield, smiled as he watched Wang Luchong, who was leading his team to charge forward and was ready to use all his strength to fight him...
"You finally can't help it?"
Maintaining the current situation and continuing to consume the resources is beneficial to him, so Zhou Xu is naturally happy.
But now that the other party is determined to fight hard, he naturally has no intention of backing down.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
Instantly, the power of the mantra spread out, pulling up the fallen skeleton soldiers on the battlefield again. At the same time, skeleton arms stretched out one after another from the ground behind Wang Luchong and others! In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically!
