004 Borrowing the City One Use Three(1/2)
More and more lizardmen rushed to the battlefield, but Old Joel still did not send reinforcements. He just allowed the Storm Army to continue fighting with the lizardmen behind the first line of defense.
At this time, the Storm Army only had 287 people. Facing nearly 1,500 lizardmen, they were immediately suppressed within a certain area. They could only barely ensure that the defense line in front of them was not defeated. At this time, each of the sword and shield soldiers killed no less than ten people.
The head lizard man, the leather armor all over his body was soaked with blood. Although Shiloh was far away, looking at the long series of system battle records, he could still guess how anxious the current battle situation had reached.
No, the Storm Army won't be able to hold on like this!
Shiloh saw the continuous reinforcements of the lizardmen from a distance, and was not sure what Old Joel was planning, but seeing the critical situation, he no longer hesitated and immediately asked the sword and shield soldiers to use the formation skill through the system.
Once the skill was used, the already tired sword and shield soldiers seemed to have been injected with blood, and their momentum immediately changed drastically. They cooperated with each other, showing a wave-like formation, and the swords and shields flashed, and they immediately
Split a large piece of lizard man in front of him into a sky full of flesh and blood!
The sudden burst of sword and shield soldiers stalled the lizardmen's attack. However, the absolute advantage in numbers still gave these lizardmen great courage. After seeing their companions fall, they pounced even more crazily.
.
At this moment, the sword and shield soldiers turned slightly sideways, and a row of sharp arrows shot through the air, directly hitting the lizard man in the front row.
The arrows made of steel were extremely sharp, and these arrows seemed to be shot from the bow of the gods. They were packed with powerful power and shot directly through the bodies of the lizard men in the first row, leaving only a fist-sized blood.
Hole.
The lizardmen in the first row were in disbelief. Their simple minds could not understand why a mere arrow could have such powerful power. They fell down with surprise in their eyes. Behind them, the lizardmen in the second row could not believe it.
He also fell to the ground in pain. The row of arrows not only penetrated the bodies of the companions in front, but also penetrated deeply into their bodies, and even directly took away their lives.
Armor-piercing arrow, kill two birds with one stone!
The archer hiding behind had a face as pale as water, and there was no sign of any fluctuation. After shooting the first armor-piercing arrow, he immediately dispersed the target and provided support and cover for the new recruits of the Storm Army who were fighting hard around him.
At the same time, a group of tall and strong warriors also strode to the front of the battlefield. They were each wearing solid armor and were armed like iron cans, like a solid line rising from the ground.
The city wall protects the sword and shield soldiers who are about to end their formation skills.
It's the armored guard!
"Array up!"
The leading armored guard shouted loudly and slammed the tower shield in his hand against the ground. The two sides of the tower shield bounced open and connected with each other, blocking a large group of lizardmen.
The lizard people rushed forward crazily, trying to overwhelm the defense line of the armored guards, but their strength could not be compared with that of the armored guards. The armored guards seemed to have roots under their feet, nailed to the spot.
Separate large numbers of lizardmen.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sword and shield soldiers retreated, leaving the most stressful battlefield to the armored guards while they moved to support the surrounding areas.
The real elites of the Storm Army are these system soldiers. Although the new recruits are supported by archers, they have already suffered a lot of damage under the siege of the endless lizardman army. At this time, the sword and shield soldiers came to support, and they can just share some of the damage.
The pressure will prevent the front from collapsing immediately.
When the sword and shield soldiers withdrew, the pikemen immediately took up their positions. The pikemen were a less used unit in Hilo, but they were definitely not a weak unit, not to mention that the lizardman army was now besieging them and they had phalanx skills.
The pikemen are even more at home.
Phalanx: Increases the attack and defense of pikemen by 50%, and reduces the speed to 0 for 60 seconds.
After using the phalanx skill, the phalanx lined with spears immediately turned into a turtle shell covered with spikes. The armored guard in front had long been hit by the lizard man's wave after wave of impact, causing his face to turn red.
, after the spearmen intervened, they immediately knocked away the lizard men who were pulling their shields and retreated quickly.
The lizard men were hissing and roaring, desperately trying to break through the steel defense line in front of them. Just when their bestiality was unleashed, the armored guards all retreated, which immediately excited them. Without thinking, they rushed forward.
past.
As long as they can rush into the Storm Army's front, relying on their numbers, they can kill all these humans and disembowel them!
However, the lizard man had not been happy for a few seconds when he saw a phalanx appear in front of him. The pikemen pressed the butts of their spears to the ground, with the tips of their spears slightly tilted, pointing directly at the lizard man who was rushing towards them.
Puff puff puff!
Only a series of muffled sounds were heard. The lizard man rushing at the front had no time to stop his steps, and he crashed into the array of guns shining with cold light. His body was immediately penetrated and torn to pieces, and thick blood slowly flowed down the gun barrel.
, dripping onto the ground, dyeing the soil blood red.
The pikemen did not retreat even a step, standing there roaring. By the time the lizardmen behind realized something was wrong, nearly a hundred of their kind had died under the spear formation.
Broken corpses lay scattered on the ground, with blood flowing in rivers. Such a bloody scene made these lizardmen feel chills in their hearts. They wanted to bypass the gun array in front of them, but were squeezed by the armored guards standing by.
They were in formation and couldn't disperse at all.
"Armor-breaking taunt, let go!"
Seeing that the lizard man was a little timid, the armored guards immediately used their taunting skills. They hooked their fingers at the somewhat dull lizard man in front of them and shouted: "You...come here!" Immediately, more than twenty lizard men appeared.
As if he had witnessed his spouse mating with other members of the opposite sex, his eyes almost burst out with fire, and he rushed towards the armored guard with a kind of lifeless anger.
The armored guards immediately raised their shields to defend themselves. The lizardmen who were ridiculed seemed to be crazy, clinging to the thick tower shield, pulling at it with their claws, and biting with their teeth. However, they were unable to move the armored guards even a step.
"kill!"
The spearmen's phalanx skill ended and they regained their mobility. They immediately divided into two teams and rushed to the left and right, pointing their cold-light spear points directly at the taunted lizardmen.
The furious lizardmen were still attacking the armored guards crazily. Even though their backward stone weapons could not cause even a little damage to the armored guards wearing solid armor, they were still biting their opponents like crazy, and just now.
At this time, the spearmen's attack came from behind. Just one shot penetrated through their backs and throats, directly nailing them to the ground.
Both sides were almost furious. The Storm Army, with system soldiers as the main force, had slaughtered no less than 200 lizardmen. The new recruits also suffered heavy losses, with more than thirty people reduced.
It was only then that the power of the system became apparent. The combat effectiveness of a system soldier was definitely several times that of these new recruits!
Bell looked at the elites of the same army fighting the enemy bravely, and felt unwilling to do so. He had also gone through half a year of arduous training, but compared with these system soldiers, he was just like an ordinary person who didn't know how to fight. In addition to the system soldiers,
On the defensive front, colleagues in other positions have already
Being torn apart by the ferocious lizard men, not only did he retreat, but he could no longer maintain the battle line... Bell roared, threw away the shield in his hand, and snatched another knife from the corpse on the ground. The two swords flickered, like
He was like a berserker, chopping down the enemies in front of him with all his might.
Beast, die!
One knife after another, Bell was already in a state of madness. The two swords almost danced into the shadow of a knife. He didn't care about defense at all and used all the skills he had learned in training.
The stone weapon and the sword collided in the air, and were chopped into pieces with a snap. The sword in Bell's hand directly chopped off half of the lizard man's head in the incredulous eyes, and blood splattered all over Bell's head and face.
Yes, but he frantically licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, drew out his sword and slashed at the next lizard man.
One head, two heads, three heads... After the madness in Bell's heart slowly subsided, seven or eight lizardmen fell around him, and the recruits in the same team with him tried their best to
He looked at him with a fearful look, not daring to get close.
Bell felt that his arms were extremely sore, and the continuous swing of the knife with all his strength put a lot of load on his muscles. However, even if he showed off his power, he could not stop the lizard man's attack, because there were no more people within his sight.
I knew dozens of lizardmen rushed over.
It’s impossible to kill all these beasts!
Bell gritted his teeth and was about to fight with all his strength when he finally heard the bugle sound coming from the rear line.
"Woo——"
The loud bugle sounded throughout the battlefield. After hearing the bugle, the soldiers of the Storm Army breathed a sigh of relief. Now they could finally retreat.
"Fight and retreat!"
"Don't show your backs to the lizardmen!"
After hearing the bugle, the squad leaders of the Storm Army immediately shouted orders, and the soldiers immediately covered each other and retreated - these were all things they had trained in the military camp, and they had almost developed muscle memory by this time.
, so during the retreat, no major flaws were revealed, and the battle line was re-maintained.
Old Joel saw the Storm Army retreating in a rigorous and orderly manner, and nodded almost imperceptibly. He thought to himself that the Storm Army was still able to follow orders and prohibitions when retreating. It was obvious that they were not some unknown brand.
military.
Now there are at least two thousand lizardmen pouring into the first line of defense. The time has come and there is no need to delay it any longer. Old Joel immediately ordered: "Notify the desert mercenaries and prepare to snipe the lizardmen with crossbows!
"
The military order was quickly conveyed, and the desert mercenaries immediately took action. They quickly stood behind the horse, raised their crossbows and aimed forward, waiting for the lizard man to enter the shooting range and deliver this gift called death.
When the Lizardmen saw the Storm Army retreating, they became even more excited. They followed closely behind the Storm Army and wanted to break into Stormwind City directly. Bell hacked to death the Lizardman closest to him several times and pulled him up.
A teammate whose thigh was slashed shouted: "Don't give up, I'll take you back!"
The wounded Stormtrooper soldier was probably in his early twenties, with a bloody wound on his thigh and a ferocious grin. As soon as Bell pulled him, he could feel the soldier trembling all over. He was obviously a new recruit.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Shut up! You can't die as long as I'm here!" Bell dragged the opponent back while struggling to fight with the charging lizard man. He lost his hand immediately and was stabbed in the arm by a lizard man with a stone spear.
, immediately pierced the leather armor and tore a huge wound on his arm.
Bell was furious as his arm hurt. He thrust his foot into the lizard man's chest and kicked it away. Then he threw out the sword in his hand, plunged deeply into the lizard man's chest, and nailed it to the ground.
But now he lost his weapon and was dragging an oil bottle. His speed couldn't go any slower, and he was about to be surrounded by lizard men.
Damn it, I didn’t expect that I would die here!
Seeing the lizard men around him grinning ferociously, Bell felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart. He still had many wishes that he had not yet fulfilled, and he was not willing to die here like this.
You finally got rid of your status as a slave, you haven't found your relatives yet, you haven't sought revenge from that noble, how could you die here like this!
Die on this lonely island in the ocean far from home!
