The defense line of the Yi Army was too weak, and from time to time some places would be broken through by the Star Army. This situation made the Yi Army generals next to Ruan Qiling change their expressions. Standing among the generals, Ruan Qiling's expression did not change at all, as if what happened now Everything was still as expected.
"Dang, Dang, Dang," as time went by, the fighting scene between the two armies became more intense. In front of the battle line, the wing troops fell to the ground one by one, and the defense line continued to move back.
The swarming Star Army infantry quickly joined forces to kill all the scattered and isolated wing cavalry. The battle line basically moved forward, and the Star Army's performance became more and more brave amid the noise.
Even though the Yi Army mainly focused on defense, they still could not stop the Star Army. During the melee, the Yi Army generals kept asking the surrounding soldiers to maintain their formation. However, because the Yi Army was too afraid of the Star Army, the orders of those generals were basically ignored. It doesn't have much effect.
"Marshal, if this continues, I'm afraid our army will be directly defeated by the enemy." Beside the chariot, a general couldn't help but wonder whether Ruan Qiling's strategy was correct after paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
"There is no rush, I have my own sense of proportion." The strength of the Star Army was indeed beyond his estimation, but since the beginning of the battle between the two armies, Ruan Qiling had been waiting for the opportunity to implement their strategy. It's just a matter of speeding up the time.
"Yes." Seeing Ruan Qiling so calm, the generals did not dare to show it openly even if they had doubts.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and the Yi Army's battle line retreated again and again. The defeat was extremely obvious. But at this time, the shield soldiers behind the Yi Army remained unmoved, as if the battle situation in front had nothing to do with them. General.
On the city tower, a group of Star Army generals expressed to Lan Xu that victory was in sight, but Lan Xu was not as relaxed as they were. From a high position, Lan Xu could clearly see the battle between the two armies.
It stands to reason that in the face of the Star Army's all-out offensive, the enemy army should resist with all its strength, but it seems that the enemy army is still retaining its strength, and there are still many personnel who have not participated in the battle. This can't help but make him doubtful, but he can't see that the enemy army is The military commander’s plan.
"General, our army will definitely win in today's battle!"
"Our soldiers have experienced many battles and are extremely brave. How can those fledgling wing troops be our army's opponents? If we win today's battle, the enemy's morale will be greatly reduced. Our army may be able to send troops to directly attack the enemy's main force. camp."
On the city tower, the Star Army generals who had not participated in the battle were becoming more and more confident. With their confidence soaring, some people had already proposed plans to attack the enemy's camp.
Based on the fighting situation below the city, the star army generals all looked happy, and their words always made people feel that they were already winning. However, the confident words of those people made Lan Xu even more worried. Looking at the rear of the enemy array, Lan Xu became more and more confused about the role of the enemy's shield soldiers and why they had not made any move.
Not long after, as he continued to guess Ruan Qiling's intentions, the enemy's shield soldiers finally changed.
"Blow the drums and wave the flags." Seeing that the Star Army had penetrated deep into his own formation, Ruan Qiling, who had been waiting for a long time, finally ordered to the general next to him: "The shield soldiers attack."
"Yes," the next moment, the star army general who had been waiting for a long time happily accepted the order and immediately left to execute the military order.
Immediately afterwards, the war drums of the Yi Army were beating again, and the flags were waving. Following the guidance of the flags, the shield soldier generals gave orders to the soldiers behind them to attack.
A burst of neat and heavy footsteps sounded, and the shield soldiers were seen raising their shields one after another and advancing forward in unison. At the same time, the infantry and cavalry of the wing army in front of them retreated while fighting, and through the gap where the shield soldiers flowed out They gradually retreated to the rear.
After a while, the cavalry of the Star Army officially met the shield soldiers of the Yi Kingdom.
"Pull the shield wall." Seeing the Star Kingdom cavalry rushing towards them, the generals of the Yi Army directly ordered the formation of the troops. The well-trained shield soldiers received the instructions to join together and put the square shields in their hands together to form a shield. Walls, from front to back, row upon row.
Immediately afterwards, the rushing Star Army cavalry hit the shield wall as expected. The soldiers who formed the shield wall were immediately knocked backwards. The shields that were tightly together were knocked around, but Without exception, no matter how hard the Star Army hit the shield wall, the momentum was eventually blocked by the shield wall.
Those crossbow horses hit the shield wall because their bodies were blocked, and they leaned back, directly knocking off the star soldiers on their backs. Some were even seriously injured and fell to the ground. The neighing of the crossbow horses and the screams of the star soldiers came one after another, and only the stars could be seen. The national cavalry could not break through the shield wall at all, let alone kill the Yijun hiding behind the shield.
After successfully blocking the impact of the Star Army, the Yi Army behind the shield quickly stabilized their bodies, then turned the shield sideways, stretched out their spears from the gaps between the shields, and in one fell swoop hit the crossbow horse or the Star Army that had fallen to the ground. Military assassination.
The shield soldiers of the Wing Army were well-trained and their movements were uniform. After killing a row of cavalry, they moved forward as a whole. At the same time, the Star Army was still rushing forward. On the huge battlefield, the confrontation between the shield soldiers and the cavalry was More and more, and after a while, the charging trend of the Star Kingdom cavalry was completely blocked.
On the chariot, Ruan Qiling looked indifferent and was very satisfied with the performance of his own shield soldiers.
At the same time, on the city tower, Lan Xu and the confident Star Army generals suddenly changed their expressions after seeing the outstanding performance of the Wing Army shield soldiers.
"Why were our troops blocked by the enemy?" Considering that their cavalry were both flexible and brave, a Star Army general couldn't understand why they couldn't defeat the enemy infantry holding shields.
"The enemy's shield soldiers advance and retreat in an orderly manner, relying on each other. They are very orderly and powerful." Lan Xu closely watched every move of the Yi Army's shield soldiers, and Lan Xu saw all the situations in his eyes.
Those shield soldiers were stuck together closely, like solid walls, blocking the charge of one's own cavalry, and they were also very lethal. He clearly saw many cavalry being assassinated by the spears protruding from behind the shields. A situation of being unable to resist.
In front of the enemy's shield soldiers, their cavalry seemed to have lost all combat power, leaving only their bodies.
As Lan Xu became more and more surprised by the performance of the enemy shield soldiers, the cavalry generals on the battlefield saw that the soldiers could not continue to charge. On the one hand, they shouted to make the soldiers more brave. On the other hand, they personally attacked the shield soldiers.
It's a pity that even though they are high-level martial arts cultivators, the attack power is not something that ordinary soldiers can withstand. But when their weapons or energy hit the shield wall, it was no different from several crossbow horses hitting the shield wall at the same time. At most, they could only hit one A gap cannot completely destroy a shield wall.
Even if they can kill one or several wing troops who form the shield wall, the wing troops behind will still quickly step forward to fill the gap, leaving the shield wall intact. In this case, not only the ordinary cavalry troops are not able to Confidence, even the cavalry generals didn't know what to do. Unfortunately, there was no order to withdraw the troops from above, so they had no choice but to rush forward.
As time went by, the casualties of the Star Army cavalry increased. The shield soldiers of the Wing Army continued to advance across the corpses of the Star Army. After the wing troops in front withdrew in large numbers, the formation of the Shield Soldiers had already expanded horizontally, and their strength The distribution is getting wider and wider, and now it has completely blocked the Star Army that penetrated into our own camp.
On the chariot, Ruan Qiling saw that the generals were fighting according to the plan they had discussed before, letting the well-trained shield soldiers work little by little, and his expression became more and more natural.
Next to the chariot, after seeing the miraculous effect of the shield soldiers, the generals of the wing army gradually understood Ruan Qiling's plan. While marveling at Ruan Qiling's calmness in the face of danger, they became more confident as they fought, and the feeling of turning defeat into victory continued to grow.
"Marshal, how long will it take for our army to completely encircle the enemy?" Seeing his own shield soldiers continuously extending the front line, a wing general couldn't wait to see what it would be like when the Star Army was surrounded by them.
"It won't take long." Seeing that the Star Army's formation was becoming more and more concentrated due to the obstruction of the offensive, and it was difficult to change the formation and change direction. Everything was moving in the direction he expected. Ruan Qiling felt that the time had come for him to close the net. He only hoped The top brass of the Star Army should not immediately order the troops to retreat, otherwise they can surround and kill more Star Army.
"The marshal is wise."
…
Seeing that the situation was developing in their favor, all the wing generals kept praising Ruan Qiling for his brilliant strategy, which relieved their original depression.
"General, our army cannot defeat the enemy's shield soldiers, what should we do?" On the other hand, on the Star Army's side, the confident look of victory on the faces of the Star Army generals has completely disappeared. Now they all have solemn faces, facing the battlefield. The situation of the Star Army is very worrying.
