Blood Lord of War

Chapter 114 Surrounded
The remaining two little lords, one fat and one thin, are both in their 30s. After hearing Baron Baron's promise, their hearts were somewhat moved.

The combined strength of the two of them is 200, which is more than three times the number of half-elves on the opposite side. Although the archery skills of these half-elves are indeed amazing, everyone knows that half-elves are no strangers in hand-to-hand combat. In the past, it seemed possible to win hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, their troops were less than 150 meters away from the half-elf, and a charge at such a short distance could reach the face of the half-elf.

Both of them knew that there was an iron mine in Baron Robin's territory, and iron ore trading was quite profitable, so they knew that Raging Waves City must be very rich. If they could get half of the slaves and wealth, then the two of them would make a lot of money!

The two little lords looked at each other. The fat lord Karl had no idea. The thin lord Jike thought about it for a while, and under the temptation of huge profits, he decided to take a gamble.

Jike said to himself in his heart: War is a gamble. If you win the gamble, you will make a lot of money. If you lose the gamble, Baron Baron will stand in your way. Fight it!
He shook his heart, drew out his sword with a swipe, and shouted to Baron loudly, as if to embolden himself, "Okay, let's go!"

The fat lord Karl next to him saw that Jike drew his sword, and he also pulled out the sword in a panic.

Baron showed a satisfied smile and nodded at the two of them: "It's up to you."

In fact, Baron doesn't trust Cal and Gek at all. It's best if they can defeat the half-elf army. Deal with the group of highlanders.

Baron thought to himself: This group of sharp-eared archers are too domineering. If they are allowed to shoot as much as they want in the rear, it will cause great interference to the spear array under him.After defeating the highlanders, there is still time to go back and deal with the half-elves.

The three spear formations slowly approached the iron guards. Amid the rumbling drums, these soldiers stepped on the drums, moving neatly as if they were one person.They pointed the spears in their hands at the iron guards in front of them, each with firm eyes and dignified expressions.

In the wasteland, this is enough to be called an elite army. They have unified weapons and uniform armor. All of them have undergone long training together and participated in brutal fighting on the battlefield.Before attacking Raging Waves City, they had conquered several territories one after another. In the entire western wilderness, no one did not know their prestige.

Such a team, even in the face of the regular army inside the empire, they dare to fight with their hands.

"Woooo-"

The loud and long sound of the bugle sounded, which was a signal to change the formation. Under the command of Baron Baron, the three spear formations began to change their formation.

The spear formation in the middle continued to move forward, attacking the highlanders from the front, while the spear formations on the left and right sides circled around the left and right wings of the highlanders, attacking the highlanders from the flanks.In this way, the three spear formations formed a pocket, and the highlanders were contained in it.

When the troops are at a disadvantage, facing the enemy's pocket formation, the best choice should be to retreat quickly and escape from the enemy's pocket formation.Because once surrounded by the enemy, this situation is very dangerous. It is very likely that the enemy will eat them all in one bite, and you will not be able to escape if you want to escape.

But Robin did the opposite. Seeing Baron making such a move, he immediately ordered the iron guards to stop where they were. One team, one team on the left, one team on the right, each against the front, left, and right enemies.

There were 16 iron guards in the front team, and 17 people in each of the left and right teams. Originally, there were only a few iron guards, but once the formation was reorganized, the number of iron guards became even smaller.Each team of iron guards had to face a spear formation of a hundred people alone, which was equivalent to using sixteen or seventeen people to fight a hundred people!
Such a huge disparity in military strength is extremely rare even if you look at the war history of the entire empire.Even in a war where fewer troops are used to win more, the chief combat officer will try to make the local battlefield have more troops than the enemy, or use the superior terrain to make the enemy's troops unable to deploy. In fact, they still fight with more troops.

It is not uncommon for a military officer like Robin to stand up against the enemy with an absolutely inferior force on the open plain, but they have all failed without exception.

Depending on the situation on the battlefield at the time, some people who did this were regarded as heroes, while others were called idiots - Baron obviously believed that Robin belonged to the latter.

Baron was riding on the horse. He was so surprised to see Robin's change of formation from a distance that he couldn't help laughing. He thought of ecstasy, thinking: This Robin, I'm afraid he's crazy!
He was worried that Robin would run away. After all, although the frontal combat power of the spear formation is very strong, its disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough. In the formation, all the soldiers are next to each other, and it is very difficult to turn around. If you want to change the formation That's even more difficult.And Robin had only fifty Highlanders under him, and they could easily escape.

But Baron never expected that this Robin would be so conceited and stupid that he wanted to confront the spear formation head-on.

He looked at Robin from a distance, with a mocking sneer on his face, and thought to himself: Yes, I admit that the highlanders under your command are very capable in combat, but just because of this, they want to resist my three Hundred Spearmen, I'm afraid you have lost your mind!

In order to maintain the formation, the spearmen can only take a small step each time they advance, and the entire formation moves very slowly, like a hard but clumsy tortoise.Especially the spear formations on the left and right flanks. They originally faced the iron guards head-on, but now they had to turn the entire formation sideways and attack the flanks of the iron guards, and they moved even slower.

After a while of ink staining, the three spear formations finally completed the encirclement of the Iron Guards and began to slowly approach the Iron Guards.

At this moment, Baron's eyes couldn't help but glow with excitement. He felt that he had already won the battle. As long as they surrounded Robin, they wouldn't be able to escape again. This battle had already been won.

Robin, I want to eat you whole in one bite!
When the three spear formations slowly surrounded Robin and the others, the lord stood in the middle of the three iron guards, raised his blood-stained visor, and shouted: "Take the moon water! Take them all out, it's time to teach these turtle grandchildren a lesson."

After receiving the order, the iron guards raised their visors one after another, took out the moon water they carried with them, each had a small bottle, and all drank it with their necks up.

Moon water can not only heal wounds, but after taking it, it can also greatly improve the body's self-healing ability in a short period of time. Even if it is hacked, as long as it is not hacked to death on the spot, it is possible to continue hitting the wound and heal.It's just that this effect lasts for a short time, so it must be used only when it is urgent.

Robin reckoned that the decisive battle would come next, so he couldn't be stingy at this time, the state must be fully filled.

In stark contrast to the spearmen facing the enemy, the atmosphere among the iron guards was still very relaxed and lively, and no trace of fear or tension could be felt from them.

This group of highlanders was born for the battlefield, blood and iron fights will only bring them pleasure, looking at the enemy slowly approaching, they are like old farmers in the autumn harvest wheat field, the face of every highlander All brimming with excitement.

In between drinking moon water, they were even in the mood to touch each other with moon water, yelling "cheers", or proudly showing off how many enemies they had cut down in the battle just now.

After drinking the moon water, Baron's spear formation was already close at hand, and the faces of the first row of spearmen could even be seen clearly.

Robin immediately ordered loudly: "Get ready to fight!"

The iron guards covered their lower armor one after another, and erected their heavy square shields in unison, like three indestructible shield walls, facing enemies from three different directions.

Three spear formations with a size of [-] people, and three iron guards with [-] or [-] people, purely from the perspective of visual effects, the difference in strength between the two sides is really shocking.Nobody saw this and thought Robin would win, neither did Baron.

The spearmen marched in unison, and slowly approached the iron guards. The footsteps of hundreds of people stepped on the ground together, making a "dong dong" sound, which was more shocking than the drums of war. Accompanied by the orderly With the sound of footsteps, the whole earth trembled slightly. Their footsteps were like drumsticks. Every step they took forward was beating the drum of war on the earth.

Finally, they came to the highlanders, but then the spearmen found in despair that they could not go any further.

The spearmen roared loudly, stabbing their sharp spears at the iron guard one by one, and stabbing at the shield of the iron guard, making a series of crisp sounds.These one-person-high square shields are too thick, and it is difficult for the spearmen to penetrate them even with all their strength.

Such heavy shields are actually beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. On the battlefield, these large shields are often placed in a certain place that needs to be defended, and they will not be easily moved.Even if used like this, this kind of shield is too heavy.

But the strange strength of this group of highlanders was able to run and fight with a heavy square shield in one hand, which made Baron's spearmen very shocked.

They yelled "You monsters, go to hell!" While using all their strength, they stabbed the spears in their hands fiercely.

Even if they were lucky enough to pierce the large square shield in the iron guard's hands, the iron guards were also covered in heavy armor, so even if they were stabbed in the front by a spear, it would be difficult to hurt them at all.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the iron guards repeated their old tricks, holding up their large shields and squeezing into the phalanx of spearmen, trying to crush the enemy's spear formation with brute force.

And these spearmen also saw how Leiner's troops collapsed just now. Of course, they couldn't let the highlanders succeed, so five or six spears were placed on the same iron guard's large shield, and the battle between the two sides was just like before. The copying has entered the stage of simply competing for strength.

Baron's main force is obviously stronger than Reiner's spearmen, and their fighting will is stronger. They are stronger and better equipped.However, they are still ordinary human beings, and there is still an insurmountable gap between them and the Iron Guard in terms of strength.

They tried, and wanted several people to work together to knock the iron guard in front of them to the ground with spears.In the impression of ordinary people, although the highlanders are stronger than ordinary people, they are not so exaggerated. If it is just a simple comparison of strength, three empires can still overthrow a highlander.

Before Lena's spearmen lost in the strength competition with the highlanders, Baron's soldiers only thought that these spearmen were too good. After all, they were just miscellaneous troops and were not at the same level as our main force.

However, when they actually fought against the highlanders, they finally fully understood what Reiner's spearman was facing just now—these highlanders were simply a group of monsters!

Several people put their spears on a highlander's shield together, as if they were on a rock with roots. Several spearmen roared heart-piercingly, holding their spears tightly with both hands, and the whole body The man leaned forward, pressing all the weight of his body on it, and even his facial features were shouted and twisted, but the big shield in front of them still didn't move, and they couldn't help but began to wonder, was there really a human being behind the shield? ?

The main force of Baron Baron is indeed elite, but it was only a slight stalemate with the iron guards. As the iron guards exerted their strength across the board, a series of "bang bang" explosions were heard, and the spear shaft finally endured. Unable to bear the force exerted by both sides, they exploded from the middle one after another.

Then, the iron guards continued to move forward, once again entering the camp of the spearmen.

Once it gets close, the spear array is basically abolished.But the soldiers of Wind Castle still had a tenacious will to fight. They threw down their spears one after another, drew out the daggers on their waists, raised the round shields in their left hands, and started a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the iron guards.

Their weapons and equipment are more sophisticated. The armor covers almost 80.00% of the body. The dagger and shield are all weapons provided by the Golden Rose family, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

They are proficient in combat skills. After years of training, often without the command of an officer, a few people can spontaneously form a combat team and cooperate with each other to launch an attack on the enemy.

But even though they have so many excellent places, all of them are meaningless in front of Tiewei.

When the powerful war hammer hits down, no matter if you block with a dagger or a shield, you will be smashed to the ground with great force, and your hands will be shaken unconscious. If your body is weaker, Possibly even bones were shattered.You can no longer make a parrying motion, and the next blow will kill you.

It was useless for the combat team to cooperate with each other. The Iron Guard rushed forward like a bull with a large shield. No matter how many people were in front of them, they would all be sent flying by the shield.

After awakening the bloodline of the Iron Giant, the iron guards were all extraordinary in force, and many of them had reached the second level of the bloodline level, mastered the ability to harden steel, and then added a whole body of heavy armor. Plus Smaug's Dragon Cry, plus Moon Water.

It is no problem to pull out one of the iron guards with full status, and it is no problem to fight ten with one.
