Chapter 32 Breaking into the Enemy Line
This entire operation did not avoid the enemy, or rather, in this relatively empty wasteland, they could not avoid it.
Just like the other party had put up a shield wall, it was obvious that they were planning to retreat and consume them, and Zhou Xu had no intention of hiding his intentions at this time.
A team of brothers led by Dashan moved very quickly. The other side should also be aware that the skeleton soldiers were too slow and inflexible, so it was unrealistic to withdraw them to intercept them.
So just let the skeleton soldiers continue to advance on the front battlefield and keep putting pressure on their back row slingers.
As for Dashan and others who rushed up, they were not afraid at all.
Leaving aside the slingers, considering the approaching enemy skeleton soldiers, Zhou Xu had to leave behind a few melee units to deal with them.
If at the beginning, the number of people on both sides was equal, then at this moment, facing the assault team led by Dashan, they had a clear advantage in numbers!
The shield wall was erected, and the other side stood firm as a rock, holding its ground.
Dashan tried to bypass the shield wall by going around the outside, but the opponent had obviously anticipated this situation from the beginning. The door panels and large shields were stood up to form a circle without any flaws.
This left Dashan no choice but to attack the opposing circle directly! ! With a low roar, Dashan swung his stone axe and chopped the shield wall in front of him with a powerful blow.
Dashan, who had not had enough food for a long time, was very thin, but after being tempered by this extreme environment, his strength was very strong.
The axe struck down, and with it flying wood chips, the door shield in front of him shattered on the spot! The mark was more like a smash than a split.
This situation was undoubtedly beyond the opponent's imagination. The man whose shield was shattered was so frightened that he stood there in place.
"Push him out!"
A voice was heard from behind the opponent's shield wall. Without time to care about the frightened guy, the large shield soldiers on both sides forced him aside and pushed him forward shoulder to shoulder, while using their broad shields to charge against the mountain.
Dashan, who had just launched a full-strength attack, was hit directly on the spot by two large shield soldiers who were charging at him with their shields raised.
In an instant, Dashan lost his balance slightly and staggered backwards.
At the same time, Dashan quickly opened his arms, trying to gain balance and stabilize his body.
But the other side obviously would not let him go just like that. When they saw Dashan lost his balance, they no longer hid behind the shield. They moved the shield to the side and two bone spears quickly pierced out from behind the shield, aiming directly at Dashan's life.
In the split second of life and death, he stretched out his arms, seized the opportunity when the two bone spears were stabbing from the opposite side, twisted his body to barely avoid the attack, and then directly clamped the two bone spears under his armpits on both sides.
This move not only startled the other party, but also frightened Dashan himself. His heart was in his throat.
The situation just now was so thrilling that even he himself didn't know whether he could succeed or not. He had no confidence at all.
During this time, the opponent reacted quickly, and the first reaction was to pull back the two bone spears, but how could Dashan just do what the opponent wanted? At that moment, Dashan made a prompt decision, and even threw away the stone axe in his hand. He flipped his hands and grabbed the spear bodies of the two bone spears.
"Want to pull it back? Then you'll have to try harder!"
The big shield soldier on the opposite side held the spear in one hand, and his strength was not very strong. While he was talking, he used the opponent's strength to pull back the bone spear and stabilized his body. He exerted force with both hands and forcibly seized the spear. The two big shield soldiers lost their balance one after another, and at the same time, the originally tight shield formation was exposed! "These two idiots!"
Seeing this scene, the leader on the opposite side behind the shield wall had an ugly look on his face, wishing he could cripple these two guys on the spot.
But in the current situation, he obviously didn't have time to pursue this, and could only shout...
"Stop it, stop it quickly!"
After the other large shield soldiers on both sides reacted, they rushed forward to block, but at this moment, the other tribal members who rushed up with Dashan had also arrived close.
There was no need to say more, he directly helped Dashan to block the subsequent pursuit.
Dashan saw the right opportunity and moved swiftly. With a bone spear in each hand, he rushed into the enemy formation and started dancing wildly.
The large shield soldiers on the opposite side were equipped with heavy equipment and had limited flexibility, so they had no time to respond and many of them were injured on the spot.
This circular formation composed of large shields can only exert a strong external defense capability when the inside is impregnable. However, once it is attacked from the inside, it will be difficult to maintain the formation.
The enemy leader, who was also aware of this, had no choice but to order the troops to disperse.
[At worst, we can fight head-on. Don't forget, we have more people!!]
Along with the change of tactical thinking, after receiving the order, some of the large shield soldiers directly dropped their large shields, held the spears with both hands, and cooperated with the large shield soldiers beside them to form an attack and defense combination.
It’s a simple adjustment, but the effect is remarkable.
The reason they were passive before was because they adopted a defensive consumption strategy.
Once the transition from defense to offense, the advantage in numbers will be quickly brought into play. Even Dashan, who had displayed his great power before, is now forced into the dilemma of 'two fists cannot beat four hands'.
Although there was a small incident in the middle, the enemy leader regained control of the situation and was undoubtedly in a state of ease again.
At the same time, his eyes swept across the front battlefield. At this moment, his skeleton soldiers had already pushed to the opposite position.
This also basically left the slingers with no room to maneuver, and they began to fight head-on with the skeleton soldiers.
As a combat unit, Skeleton Soldiers are indeed not outstanding. They are fragile, not flexible enough in movement, and are unsatisfactory in all aspects.
But the skeleton soldiers have one advantage, that is, they are not afraid of death. Even if they are beaten to pieces, they can be pulled back up, so the skeleton soldiers can launch an offensive regardless of the consequences.
Faced with these fearless skeleton soldiers, they really couldn't get away and were completely entangled.
Zhou Xu swung the bone spear in his hand, knocking a skeleton soldier to the ground, and subconsciously swept his eyes over the chaos in the distance.
Just as the enemy leader was observing the situation on their side, he was also observing the situation over there.
[After being scattered, these skeleton soldiers were able to regroup again and again. This was definitely not due to their own abilities. There must be a necromancer on the opposite side casting a spell. If we don't get rid of the necromancer on the opposite side, we will be constantly consumed by the opponent, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to win.]
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu tried to lock on the target.
But the necromancer was obviously not stupid. He blended in with the spearmen and shieldmen on the other side, making it impossible to tell what was going on. However...
【Eye of Insight! 】
Without hesitation, he immediately activated the power of mantra.
At that moment, the whole world in front of Zhou Xu became clearer.
Apart from the panels that kept popping up on the figures, all the details that he had not noticed before were now exposed under his gaze! [Found it!]
