Chapter 433: Strange Troops
In the center of the battlefield, the formation formed by the bodyguards is called the "Turtle Armor Formation". As the name suggests, the bodyguards in the formation hold large shields close to each other, one shield on top of the other to form an airtight shield wall, shaped like a turtle shrinking its shell.
,unbreakable.
The mobility of the turtle formation is very poor, but it is the best formation to defend against arrow strikes. Unless the shield is shot through, there is almost no casualty, and the large shields of these escorts are extremely sophisticated and can withstand arrow attacks.
It's more than enough.
The attackers seemed to realize that there was nothing they could do with this turtle formation, so they quickly stopped shooting without wasting any more arrows.
Now, except for some trembling corpses, there is no movement on the battlefield.
In the turtle shell formation, the second-in-command's expression was very solemn.
The robbery of escorts is not terrible. Before he joined Abao's caravan, he worked as the head of another escort agency. Over the past twenty years, he had encountered no less than a hundred robbery of escorts. He either fought against mountain bandits or resisted horse bandits.
, and even encountered the warlord's private soldiers, and already had rich combat experience.
But today’s escort robber is very weird
An attack of this level occurred in Doguland. The identity of the attacker was more terrifying than the attack itself. He really couldn't guess who the attacker was.
From the perspective of military quality, the opponent is definitely at the elite level of the regular army.
But the regular army came out to rob the caravan? This is not a war era, how could such a ridiculous thing happen!
Not to mention that these people robbed Abao’s caravan!
Abao is the "Three-clawed Golden Dragon" of the Far Eastern Dynasty. The escorts who dare to rob Abao's caravan are directly confronting the imperial court and provoking the real dragon emperor. Dare the regular army of the kingdom do such a thing?
Even if you dare, it doesn't make sense! What reason is there for doing this? The two countries are now in a period of friendship, why would they do such a thing that destroys human relations?
Spending time here is not the answer, so the second-in-command decided to take a risky move. He ordered the bodyguard next to him: "The Onmyoji has opened your eyes, you can see what the opponent's background is."
Eye-opening refers to the fact that some people who are born with superior eyesight gain vision beyond ordinary people after being cleansed by an Onmyoji. The effect is similar to taking the "Eagle Eye Potion" of the Hutch family.
This escort has had good eyesight since he was a child, and his eyes can see clearer and farther than ordinary people. After opening his eyes, he also gained night vision, which allows him to see things clearly in the dark night like a cat.
The bodyguard received the order, lowered his arm slightly, moved the shield down, exposed a small slit, and quietly looked out.
Something terrible happened at this time.
What the bodyguard exposed was really just a "small slit", only as wide as a little finger, but the moment he looked out through the slit, the flying lightning-like arrow tore through the air and shot straight through his right eye.
, penetrated the back of the head, and the arrow's accuracy was so high that it did not even scratch the upper and lower edges of the gap in the shield wall.
"Whoosh!" The arrow arrived first again, and then the sound of breaking through the air came.
The arrow hit the head and blood spattered.
The moment the bodyguard fell, the shield in his hand also fell off, a hole appeared in the shield wall, and a torrential rain of arrows began to rain down.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
The arrows were like lightning, setting off curtains of blood one after another. In the sound of spraying blood, the escorts behind the shield wall fell one after another, and not one of them wailed. They were all hit on vital parts and died on the spot!
More and more people are falling, and there are more and more flaws. The turtle shell array is almost loose.
"Move the energy to protect the body!" The second-in-command shouted the order, and the internal energy in the Dantian began to operate. White energy spurted out from the strange points, forming a protective layer as strong as armor on the surface.
With the help of internal strength to protect the body, the bodyguards resisted the arrows, raised their shields to block the gaps, and rebuilt the complete turtle shell formation, making the shield wall airtight, thus preventing the attackers from continuing to harvest.
After the danger was averted, the second-in-command was not relaxed at all, and even sweat broke out on his forehead. He cursed secretly: "This guy is so good at archery, he is definitely not a bandit. I haven't seen him since I was escorting him for more than 20 years."
He has surpassed this kind of archery! This turtle shell formation was almost broken by him alone!"
The former escort was lucky enough to squeeze into the shield wall early. He had just joined Abao's caravan and had little experience. He had never seen such a terrifying attacker. He was already scared to death and asked tremblingly: "We
What should I do now? I can’t move, but I can’t spend it here forever.”
"Don't be afraid, our shields are made of high-quality heavy shields made by blacksmiths. As long as there are no leaks, his arrows will not be able to do anything to us." The second-in-command turned around and said to everyone in a deep voice, "Act as one, move to
Next to the main carriage, there is a cloud-piercing arrow, use it to attract the attention of the garrison of the neighboring city!"
Now we don’t know the details of the attackers, nor how many of them there are in total. If they rush out to fight, the chances of success are high, so they can only use the turtle shell array to support them first.
If the cloud-piercing arrows can be used to attract the defenders of nearby cities, no matter who the attackers are, they will not have the guts to start an open battle with the city defenders!
Thinking of this, the second-in-command felt confident and roared: "Listen to my order! One, two move!"
"Ding Ding Ding" While the turtle shell array was moving slowly, the attackers in the shadows began to fire arrows again, trying to prevent them from escaping.
However, this group of bodyguards had great military literacy and used the turtle formation to its extreme. No flaws were revealed during the entire movement. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of arrows being bounced off shields. They really looked like an invulnerable iron turtle.
The shield wall moved, and the arrow rain stopped again.
One of the escorts said excitedly: "These lousy guys, now they know how good we are!"
Seeing that the opponent could not break the formation, the second-in-command secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Keep moving and speed up."
Everyone responded and did not relax their vigilance. They continued to move towards the main carriage, preparing to retrieve the Cloud-Piercing Arrow.
Just as the bodyguards were moving with their shields raised, the guards with keen senses suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute! What's the noise?!"
Everyone stopped and listened.
"Boom, boom, boom" The sound of the energy torrent gathered was suppressed and dull, becoming more and more turbulent like the roaring waves in the sea, reaching everyone's ears while getting louder and louder.
This sound was very unfamiliar to the escorts, and the escorts who were very familiar with all kinds of sounds couldn't distinguish it. They said confusedly: "I have never heard this sound before, what is it?"
"Give me the bronze mirror in your arms!" the second-in-command shouted to the foreman.
The waiter hurriedly handed it over.
The second-in-command took the bronze mirror, moved the shield down, and opened a slit. However, he did not poke his head over to look. Instead, he placed the bronze mirror to the side and observed the movement outside through the reflection of the mirror.
The death-like sharpshooter didn't know whether he didn't notice the gap or was doing other things instead of shooting at the bronze mirror.
The second-in-command had never opened his eyes and could not see at night, but after staying in the dark for so long, his eyes had more or less adapted. He squinted for a moment and suddenly his expression froze: "Damn it, what is that?
Chapter completed!
