Chapter 209: Pan Feng
Chapter 209: Pan Feng
2017-09-25
Among the Elite Family Alliance, the historical warrior's troops led the front, with Gao Shun's forces at the rear, and the private armies of the other five elite families sandwiched in between.
The torrential arrow rain primarily targeted this section of the troops.
The warriors of the First Battalion, aside from the Flame Battalion members, were uniformly composed of Mountain Bandit Archers (Elite), and the First Battalion was one of the earliest established battalions, with its members having undergone at least several months of training.
This initially 15-point Martial Power army, in their area of expertise, was about to demonstrate their prowess under Zhang Li's command.
With just five hundred men, the First Battalion, under Zhang Li's leadership, unleashed wave after wave of arrows, showing no signs of stopping.
The elite family soldiers beneath the fifteen-meter-high wall were already in a state of panic due to the sudden turn of events. As arrows rained down from above, both distant and nearby warriors were struck by the falling arrows.
The sight of arrows piercing through skulls and bodies was terrifying, causing chaos among the elite family soldiers.
What does an army fear the most? It's not the lack of weapons or morale, but the absence of order. This elite family alliance was hastily assembled, with only a few days of coordination, and such a force was highly susceptible to sudden shocks, easily leading to a total collapse.
What's more frightening is that such a collapse is almost irreversible and unstoppable because there's no strong voice within the alliance to unite them.
"So, this motley crew dares to attack my mountain camp?" Lu Hai Kong looked down on the disorganized elite family alliance.
The battle had reached a point where there was little suspense left, and even the Black Wind Legion didn't need to get involved. Once the opposing camp fell into disarray, it would be a sign of the battle's conclusion.
"Get ready. Once their formation completely collapses, the First Battalion will cease firing, and that will be our best opportunity to attack," Lu Hai Kong instructed Zhao Er on the side.
"Yes!"
But could this battle really end so easily? If it weren't for Gao Shun and the historical warrior, it might have been that simple. However, with them in the mix, the battle would be far more challenging than Lu Hai Kong had anticipated.
In the military formation, the historical warrior at the forefront raised his great saber and roared with wide-open tiger eyes, "Anyone who disrupts the formation will be executed!"
With this shout, the formation, which had already shown signs of collapsing, miraculously halted its disintegration.
Lu Hai Kong was taken aback but soon realized, "Is this a Legion Skill or a General Talent? It seems there's an extraordinary presence among this elite family alliance!"
"But what? Since they've come to my mountain camp, they'll stay here!"
As Lu Hai Kong's words fell, basketball-sized stones rained down from the wall.
With over five thousand people gathered at the wall, the crowd was densely packed. Not a single stone missed its target, and each one struck several people.
While the number of casualties caused by stones might not match that of arrows, the sheer brutality of each stone cracking a skull open was far more terrifying.
"This can't go on. If we continue like this, morale will eventually collapse!"
The historical warrior waved his saber and pointed at Lu Hai Kong's direction, shouting, "Brothers, follow me! Kill a bandit and earn ten gold!"
After this declaration, the historical warrior charged towards Lu Hai Kong, brandishing his great saber.
The distance from the wall to the square formation where the Second Battalion was located was only a few hundred meters, which didn't seem too far. But in reality, it was a distance that bred despair.
As the historical warrior approached Lu HaiKong, he was mere meters away when he suddenly noticed a deep trench several meters ahead.
"Stop! Halt!" the historical warrior shouted urgently, but it was already too late. It might be easy for one person to stop after a hundred-meter sprint, but it was a different story for a group of several hundred people, let alone thousands.
Under the cover of night, the trench was only visible within a few meters, and within that short distance, there was no room for a legion of thousands to come to a halt.
The soldiers at the front might have been able to stop upon seeing the trench, but those behind had no idea what lay ahead.
Across the trench, Lu HaiKong and his men witnessed the leader of the opposing force come to a halt, only to be pushed forward by the momentum of those behind him, falling into the three-meter-deep trench.
This trench had been constructed before the wall, primarily to serve as a defensive line against the exposure of the mountain camp to the hooves of foreign tribes before the wall was fully fortified.
Unexpectedly, the trench remained unused until the wall was completed, and only then did it prove its worth.
The trench was three meters deep, only about two meters wide, and around a hundred meters long. It could hardly accommodate five thousand people, but a few hundred was manageable.
The vanguard of the elite family alliance, composed of Wang Hao's most elite troops, fell into the trench. These troops were renowned for their exceptional strength, superior equipment, and high morale, the highest among the allied forces.
In the 1619 book, a glance revealed no mistake!
Despite their prowess, they were pushed into the trench by those behind them. A few quick-witted individuals, instead of stopping, accelerated and leaped towards the other side of the trench.
This was a clever move; if they were going to be pushed into the trench anyway, they might as well try to jump across. However, their cleverness met a tragic end. As they leaped high, they were met with a long spear.
The soldiers of the Second Battalion were prepared, and without hesitation, they struck down those who jumped towards them, sending them into the trench.
Not everyone who leaped was knocked into the trench, though. At least one historical warrior was not someone an ordinary soldier from the Second Battalion could repel.
This warrior leaped high, his great saber in hand, and with a mighty slash, he aimed directly at Lu HaiKong, shouting furiously, "Shameless bandits, taste Pan Feng's blade!"
At that moment, Lu HaiKong's detection technique also revealed some of the warrior's attributes.
