I don't know whether it was luck or the help of God, when Selaginella retreated from the front line clutching a serious injury in his abdomen, thousands of soldiers still lined up. Although this formation looks far from the real standard, it is at least enough.
Li Neng was doing his best to make the final adjustments. Seeing Selaginella coming back, he immediately patted his horse forward and ordered him:
"Selaginella, I have already made a battle plan. Now I will divide the army into three teams. One will be handed over to you, and you will help me contain the ambush in Yuxi City; the other will be led by my elder brother to encircle and suppress The guy who broke through our army formation with his sword just now; there is another one led by me to take Yuxi City directly!"
Li Neng spoke with arrogance, shook his fist fiercely, stared at the city wall of Yuxi City, and said:
"I don't believe that Yuxi City is under attack, those bastards who ambushed us can still sit still! When they come back to help, they will definitely show their flaws. At that time, you and I will attack back and forth and chop them to pieces..."
Selaginella galloped by, letting Li Neng's rhetoric flow, and didn't bother to explain a single word to him.
He galloped up to the soldiers standing in formation, inserted the long sword back into the scabbard, took out the long spear from behind and pointed it at the sky, and said loudly:
"Don't worry about what the third son told you just now, forget everything from now on! Next, I will lead you to launch the first and only charge. All you have to do is to follow me firmly, trust me , Believe in the people around you! As long as our army is not disintegrated, the advantage of three times the enemy will still exist."
The tip of his gun slammed down, and the dense beads of sweat on his face flew into the air.
The abdominal injury was still deteriorating, but the massive secretion of adrenaline made him temporarily forget the pain.
At this moment, he was standing in front of thousands of soldiers, his armor and weapons were not as sharp as Liengeng, but for some reason, as the horse under him neighed, this rock-solid and cold face was remembered by everyone in mind.
They remembered that face until they died in battle or retired after many years.
At this moment, thousands of soldiers unanimously chose to obey his orders.
Li Neng's face turned pale, he drew his sword, and said sharply to Selaginella:
"You want to resist my order?!"
The soldiers beside Selaginella also drew their swords to confront each other, and their swords were still stained with scarlet blood, making Li Neng shrink back involuntarily. Holding the spear in one hand, Selaginella said to Li Neng:
"I have no intention of disobeying the third son's order, but I also have my promise to my subordinates. I want to lead them to live, and I can't just sit and watch them being killed by the third son's wrong judgment. The third son might as well calm down and think about it. There is no chance of winning if you push the past flatly, and dividing into three ways is tantamount to suicidal."
After the words fell, Selaginella tightly held the spear in his hand, took a deep breath, shouted, and charged towards the Yuxi City army that was waiting in full force.
He probably went with the heart that there is no return, and that he is going to die and live.
So the soldiers also mobilized the last strength in their bodies and followed behind him.
The soldiers in Yuxi City did not hide or escape, and the soldiers in the front directly chose to put up shields in place.
On the outside of the thick iron shield are silver-white spikes, like a small horse-repelling array. Selaginella had to turn over and get off the horse. The horse, which was too late to stop, hit the iron shield, knocking five or six shield soldiers back, but he was also nailed to the shield. The iron shield that pierced the horse became extremely heavy, and the shield soldiers had to discard the shield and draw out the iron sword to prepare to meet the enemy.
Selaginella seized the opportunity at this moment and directly rushed into the army formation of Yuxi City.
Three stabs knocked three soldiers into the air, and another horizontal swing forced the soldiers in front of them back.
The wound on Selaginella's abdomen burst open and blood flowed out.
He had seen the formation in front of him, and he had secretly observed Yunyang's army in the past, and knew that this formation was a very difficult defensive formation. Unless you can penetrate directly into the inside of the army formation and then kill four or five passages outward, and directly disintegrate this formation from the inside, otherwise this formation will be as hard as a hedgehog with blown fur.
So Selaginella can only bet on this point now.
Fortunately, after the formation was completed, he also began to receive the protection of the military formation, otherwise he would be submerged in the crowd in an instant.
After forcing back several soldiers from Yuxi City, Selaginella immediately took the lead and took advantage of the chaos to hide and kill them.
He led the army to tear a hole in the formation of Yuxi City, and also killed and wounded dozens of Yuxi City soldiers. But the more he fought, the more Selaginella secretly panicked. He soon discovered that the soldiers in Yuxi City hadn't retreated, nor had they become chaotic. No matter how many companions fell, they all stepped forward courageously as if they were tireless.
After realizing that there was a big difference in marksmanship, the soldiers of Yuxi City fought Selaginella with swords.
The front line shrinks, and Selaginella's marksmanship is also difficult to deploy.
A sword struck horizontally, and Selaginella blocked it with its spear vertically, and the body of the gun suddenly let out a mournful cry. After a few sword strikes, the whole spear was broken in two from the middle!
Selaginella was stunned for a moment, dropped the gun, pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at the soldier's armor. This time he used the way of the sword that he was not proficient in, but he had learned a little bit. The blade broke through the armor of the soldier, and he fell to the ground directly.
Without giving him time to breathe, the soldiers from Yuxi City surrounded him again.
From the corner of his eye, Selaginella saw that many of the soldiers who followed him were thrown and pierced by the uniform spear array, like eggs smashed on a hard rock. The three-fold advantage did not exert a powerful effect, causing very limited damage to the troops in Yuxi City.
Selaginella knew in his heart that the people on his side had reached their limit.
They still wanted to fight the enemy bravely, and even went forward desperately to fight the soldiers of Yuxi City, but the long-term devil training and the pain of not getting enough food made their hands holding the weapons tremble, and the stabbing attacks were also weak. . You must know that when the soldiers in Yuxi City were still resting in the forest and waiting for work, the people on their side were marching sweaty under the sun.
Selaginella gritted her teeth.
He clenched the sword in his hand, and once again charged at a Yuxi City soldier who was rushing towards him.
—No matter how desperate and unwilling you are, there are only two endings on the battlefield: life and death.
At the moment when facing the sword, Selaginella's strength was obviously superior. But he only felt that the strength in his hands was empty, and his body began to lean forward unnaturally. Selaginella suddenly looked at the sword in his hand, and the saber that Yunyang officer was qualified to use was cut in two by the weapon in the hands of the unknown soldier.
This shows that it was not accidental that Cai Cai's spear broke just now, and the opponent's armament is obviously one level beyond this side.
Selaginella couldn't hold back the momentum of leaning forward, so it simply went straight up.
At that moment, he saw the light in the soldier's eyes, the light that should not appear in the eyes of an ordinary soldier.
Those eyes are full of hope for life, full of ferocity that is not afraid of death, and even vaguely desire and enthusiasm for war, forming a sharp contrast with the soldiers on my side who have long been blind and numb. Compared.
He is not afraid at all!
Selaginella's broken sword pierced the man's chest, but unfortunately it didn't hit his heart, but at least it should have seriously injured his lungs. What shocked him was that even when he fell down, the soldier held onto his leg tightly and refused to let go no matter what. Selaginella wanted to make up the knife, but the surrounding soldiers had already rushed forward. He only felt something hit his temple heavily, and then his vision went dark, and he passed out directly.
