The volcano on the battlefield was still erupting, but the height and power of the pillar of fire were gradually decreasing. Even so, it still forced the foreign vanguard to disrupt its original formation. They had no choice but to bypass the death zone in order to continue charging forward. However, this way, both their momentum and speed were greatly reduced, and they no longer had the heart-palpitating feeling of the black tide from before.
"How amazing." A gentle breeze brushed past Stark's cold face, and a smile quietly appeared on his face. In his eyes, the pillar of fire on the battlefield split his eyeballs into two halves. The flashing flames of the volcanic bombs lit up his eyes. "You haven't even reached level 30, but you've already awakened this kind of ability that can change the terrain, and the power is considerable. This is the feedback of the Bloody Path. "
"Allen, my brother. Do you know that every cell in my body is calling out to you, and they are looking forward to being compatible with you? " Stark gently raised his hand. His voice was so weak that only he could hear it, but the breeze that blew past him instantly turned into a low roar!
Allen turned around and looked at the back of the position. However, apart from the densely packed helmets, spears, and war flags, he didn't find anything. Just now, his heart skipped a beat and he felt like he was being watched, but it seemed to be just an illusion. After all, it was natural for him to be watched in front of the army formation.
The enemy was coming.
Allen looked at Salon, who nodded. He and Bai rode their horses back to the position they were in charge of. The soldiers of the Bucks Army separated to the left and right in an orderly manner, making way for Allen. After Allen passed by, the passageway closed again. Allen rode his horse all the way and finally disappeared from the soldiers' sight.
"Prepare for battle!" Salon roared, pointing at the tide of soldiers rolling over from the western plains.
Behind him, rows of infantry passed him. These infantry were all carrying iron shields that were half as tall as a person. They removed the iron shields. Below the shields were iron spines that were thick and pointed at the bottom. When they were inserted into the ground, they could increase the shields' resistance to impact. Every soldier held their shields on their shoulders, ready to resist the first wave of attacks. This shield wall stretched from south to north and was more than a hundred meters long. After the first row of shieldbearers were ready, the second and third rows of shieldbearers followed closely behind, forming a deep defensive formation. Behind them were the pikemen and musketeers. As for the cavalry of the Bucks Army, they were deployed in the middle of the main army.
The black tide rolled over, and the ground even shook. The human officer kept yelling, encouraging the soldiers not to cower and igniting the courage and fire in their hearts.
In the front row of the infantrymen, a soldier looked over the iron shield at the approaching alien soldiers. In his eyes, a Blade Demon's helmeted face let out a sharp scream and pounced at him with a rough machete. The figure of the Saber Demon continued to expand in his eyes. In the end, the soldier also let out a furious roar. Holding the shield tightly, the Saber Demon crashed into the shield. Then, the long saber randomly slashed at the iron shield, pulling out a string of sparks.
The black tide surged forward, slamming heavily against the steel embankment of the humans. At the moment of collision, countless waves of death splashed out. After the first wave of the enemy's attack was blocked by the square shield wall, the pikemen and musketeers in the crisscrossed defensive formation roared and sent the spears in their hands through the gaps in the shield wall, either stabbing into the bodies of the Saber Demons, or colliding with their armor and lifting them into the air. The musketeers stood up and fired at the enemy soldiers outside the shield wall before quickly retreating.
A Saber Demon bravely crossed the first row of shield walls, but before he could fall into the formation, the second and third rows of shield soldiers behind him raised their iron shields high above their heads, causing the Saber Demon to only land on the shields. Then, he stabbed out a saber from under the shield and stabbed it to death in three or two strokes. Even if there was a lucky one who landed on the ground, the surrounding shield soldiers would disperse slightly and close with the iron shield. After the Saber Demon, who was trapped in the middle of the iron shield, was suppressed, the long saber that stretched out from the gap behind the shield stabbed it into a sieve from all directions. When the iron shield dispersed, the Saber Demon had already turned into a corpse.
Just like that, the Bucks Army cooperated efficiently and continuously strangled the foreign vanguard troops like a millstone.
The sound of artillery from the two artillery positions in the southeast meant that the war had begun in full swing. Just as Salon had said, today was a long day, but everyone was focused on the battle in front of them and completely unaware of the passage of time. Salon's tactics were still mainly defensive. After all, the enemy's forces were three times or even more than those of the human side. In such a situation, persisting in attacking was not brave, but foolish. Salon took full advantage of the wide variety of human soldiers and their ability to cooperate to wear down the blood of the enemy.
However, as he had said, it was difficult for pure defense to last until the end. Therefore, when the main legion tightly bit onto the enemy's offensive, the two flanks led by Generals Keller and William would launch an attack. They stabbed into the enemy's left and right ribs like two daggers. Although they were unable to repel the enemy with a hammer, they could hurt them, thus diverting the pressure on the main legion's position, forcing the enemy general to deploy troops to deal with the offensive of Keller and the others.
The enemy advanced and I retreated.
After discovering the movement of the foreign army, Salon did not continue to fight. He immediately ordered the two flanks to scatter back, and then suppressed the pursuers with the firepower of the southeast and east positions. Then, he waited for the next opportunity to come and repeated the previous tactical movement. Gradually, the outsiders became impatient, and their spirit gradually declined under Salon's water-grinding tactics.
At noon, the outsider general on the huge war chariot finally gave the order for the general attack. As a result, the hill-like warbeasts dragged the Saber Demon troop carriers, intending to attack the defensive line of the main human army. The Jana people drilled into the ground, forming countless earth dragons that extended in the direction of the human position. There were even more enemy soldiers who left the main formation and attacked the artillery positions on the southeast and east sides. In the end, the cannons of the outsiders also fired, and catapults threw tons of boulders into the sky above the human position.
The flames of war burned in the sky and on the ground.
Seeing the beast charge, the cavalry that had been standing still finally came in handy. Under Salon's orders, the Knight, who had been holding his breath since the beginning of the battle, finally had a chance to vent. The defensive positions split open, allowing the cavalry to gallop through. The human cavalry completed their accelerated charge in their own positions. When they left the main formation, they rushed into the outsider army with an unstoppable momentum.
There were a total of five thousand cavalry troops, each of which was five hundred cavalry. Ten troops tore apart the outsider vanguard like longswords. However, the target of the cavalry was not the Saber Demons and the Catus, but the warbeasts that would break through the defensive line. As the ten cavalry troops went deep into the enemy formation, Keller's two troops moved out again to provide tactical cover for their own cavalry.
After diverting some of the attention of the human armies on both sides, it was difficult for the outsider soldiers to intercept the cavalry effectively. The first cavalry had already locked onto their target. It was a warbeast that was shaking its head and roaring. The cavalry captain shouted, "Get the oil cans ready."
As a result, nearly half of the cavalry took out gray-white jars tied to short ropes from their backpacks on the side of their horses. The cavalry used the ropes to spin the gray ceramic jars and smash them onto the warbeasts. The damage that the cans had to the warbeasts was negligible, but when the cans were broken, the kerosene inside would be stained all over the warbeasts. The cavalry continued to throw out the kerosene cans. Not only did the warbeasts receive the main greeting, even the troop carriers behind them received quite a few kerosene cans.
After throwing out the kerosene cans, the cavalry captain shouted again, "Guns, shoot!"
As a result, the remaining cavalry raised their guns and fired. When the rain of bullets landed on the warbeasts and the troop carriers, the kerosene on their bodies instantly ignited. The sudden appearance of the flames not only caused the warbeasts pain, but also frightened them. As a result, regardless of the driver's orders, the warbeasts finally deviated from their original path, trampled countless outsider soldiers to death, and collided with another giant beast that was also on fire.
Seeing the two warbeasts fall with miserable cries, the cavalry cheered and rushed back the way they came under the orders of the captain.
However, not all of the cavalry troops successfully completed their missions, but most of the attacking warbeasts were unable to complete their original missions. Not only did they not break through the human defense line as the outsider general had expected, they instead created a lot of chaos for their own army. This made the Catu general on the chariot platform extremely angry.
It was just that they had stopped the warbeasts from breaking through the defensive line, but the Jana that followed caused chaos in the human front. These worm-like outsiders attacked from underground. When they broke out of the ground, they would drag the soldiers on the ground into the tunnels they had drilled out of. Then, a dazzling wave of blood would spray out from the tunnels. For the first time since the Jana people entered the war, the human defense line had wavered.
Salon could only order the spearmen and gunmen to attack the Jana people underground. The soldiers roared and stabbed their spears into the ground, killing the Jana people who were drilling underground. However, this had little effect. Salon could only change his strategy. He ordered the logistics soldiers to bring all the kerosene cans, and then the soldiers to smash them into the tunnels dug by the Jana people and ignite them.
The Jana people had already dug a tunnel underground that extended in all directions. Kerosene flowed in these tunnels, and once it was ignited, it was a defensive line of fire. This was undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier for the Jana people, who were afraid of light and heat, so they had no choice but to leave the underground. In this way, although these insects were still difficult to deal with, it was much better than letting them roam freely underground.
As time passed, the battle became more and more intense. Even the artillery positions on the southeast and east sides of the attack were under a lot of pressure.
