Chapter 51 Chaotic battlefield
"All soldiers, listen up and focus on the flag!"
Rhodes stood under the five-meter-high coat of arms and shouted at the soldiers.
In the darkness, the burning torch beside you illuminates the surroundings and guides the direction.
His panicked soldiers began to converge on him.
"First Battalion, set up a shield and spear formation at the front line! Second Battalion, defend the left line! Third Battalion, defend the right line!"
Behind the wooden fence built around the Sixth Divine Arrow Battalion.
Soldiers holding shields and spears quickly took their positions and held up their large shields.
With the coat of arms flag where Rhodes was located as the center, an iron wall formation was formed around it.
"Fourth and fifth crossbow teams, aim at the front line and prepare to shoot in sequence."
"The seventh shortbow team, aim at the left defense line, the eighth shortbow team, aim at the right direction."
After the well-trained shield and spear formation was set up, Rhodes immediately gave the order.
Let the 400 confused serf soldiers go to the rear and set up their bows and crossbows.
Holmes, Loren and twelve knights had come to his side, and Rhodes picked up the longbow behind him.
He shouted to the soldiers, "If anyone comes without a coat of arms to identify themselves, no matter who they are, if they get within fifty meters, I will shoot them!"
The attack of the Wolf Chief's soldiers was already very close, and the other five regiments obviously had no time to react.
It is no longer possible to unite and fight back.
The only thing Rhodes could do now was to ensure the stability of his own camp in the ensuing chaos.
In order to avoid being broken up, the battle formation must not be in chaos.
Anyone who dares to rush towards him will be shot into a hedgehog no matter who he is!
The fire in the tent could only illuminate the surroundings, which was less than fifty meters away.
The soldiers gathered in an iron wall formation, looking at the dark night ahead, they seemed to be able to vaguely see dancing ghosts and hear the devil's hideous laughter.
Darkness brings pressure, and the fear of the unknown makes adrenaline surge.
Everyone's forehead was sweating and their bodies were shaking slightly from nervousness.
"Ahhh, you damn bastards!" At this moment, in the dead silence and darkness, the first shout broke out from other tents!
Then the screams quickly spread, carrying fear, anger and confusion.
Countless roars came one after another, announcing the start of tonight's chaos.
"It's really messy."
Using the raven's perspective, Rhodes looked down at the situations in the tents, and his head couldn't help but swell.
Even after receiving his advance warning, the knights from each regiment were still unable to unite in formation in time after waking up.
A large number of serf soldiers walked out of the tents and stood there in confusion.
Then he collided head-on with the Wolf Chief soldiers who rushed in!
Chaotic fighting broke out everywhere. The serf soldiers who had lost their command offered almost no resistance, and the outskirts of each regiment's camp had already fallen.
The good news is that the enemy is also in disarray.
The terrified serf soldiers ran around like a flock of sheep.
Not only did they knock down the torches, but they also charged into the enemy forces in large numbers.
The vision was obstructed in the dark and blurry environment, coupled with various frights, which directly caused the Wolf Chief's soldiers to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe and actually started killing each other!
"With your level, can't we just fight head-on?" Rhodes sighed and pulled up his longbow.
An arrow shot out and knocked a wolf rider who was rushing towards him off the back of a wolf.
Then, a series of crossbow firing sounds were heard around him.
A dense rain of arrows formed at the narrow entrance.
There were more than twenty Wolf Chief soldiers who followed the Wolf Cavalry, and they had not yet figured out the situation.
The next second, they were pierced by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
After the firing was completed, the Fourth Crossbow Team quickly retreated to the rear, and the Fifth Crossbow Team took over.
At the same time, quickly reel in the rifle and prepare for the next round of shooting.
Round after round of arrows were fired, continuously blocking the Wolf Chief soldiers rushing towards this side.
Even if any enemy troops were able to get past the volley of arrows, they would be blocked by the shield and spear formation in front.
He was killed by longbows fired by Rhodes and other knights' followers.
Rhodes's side managed to maintain stability, but the situation in other areas was not good.
With the addition of the Knights, the chaos of the night raid reached its peak.
The sound of fighting echoed throughout the camp.
Rhode had no time to take care of them for the time being, as he seemed to be in big trouble. "Who is that? The leader who was in charge of commanding the wolf chiefs in the previous encounter?"
Rhodes gripped his longbow tightly, staring at the man in the wolf hat a hundred meters away.
In the ambush in the woods, the enemy was in the command position at the center of the Wolf Chief's army.
Not surprisingly, he was probably responsible for this night attack.
Being able to still be in charge of the army after failing once, it seems that he has a very high status in Sarko Ice City.
"I'm not the main force of the alliance. What's the matter? Are you lost too?"
Seeing him charging towards them, Rhodes took a deep breath and suddenly pulled the longbow.
The arrow turned into a stream of light and shot out.
But under Rhodes' astonished gaze, he was caught in mid-air by the man in the wolf hat!
The flight was obstructed, and the arrow was suddenly broken in the middle under the destruction of kinetic energy.
The man in the wolf hat threw away the broken arrow in his hand and continued to charge on the iron-backed black wolf.
The crossbow arrows that kept hitting him and his mount's armor only made crisp tinkling sounds before being bounced off.
The man in the wolf hat didn't care about these ordinary arrows.
As the most powerful warrior in Sarko Ice City, he is a wolf warrior who entered the extreme territory many years ago.
He was wearing a warrior's armor from the Dwarven court.
Accept the blessing of the God of Forge and fear no mortal weapons!
"Why is it that archer?" After charging closer to the enemy camp and seeing the commander in the middle clearly, the man in the wolf hat was suddenly stunned.
His target for this night attack was originally the leader knight with red armor and flaming spear among the enemy army.
It's just that it's difficult to tell the direction in the dark.
Then he noticed the strong resistance here and subconsciously thought that this was the main force of the enemy and the leader must be among them.
Now it seems that I have come to the wrong place?
"That damn archer? Not bad!" After a moment of daze, the man in the wolf hat showed a cruel smile.
After entering the extraordinary realm, each skill will require years of time to accumulate.
In order to reach the pinnacle as soon as possible, few people practice multiple skills at the same time.
The archer's archery skills are extraordinary, but it also means that compared to other extraordinary warriors, he is weak in close combat!
The iron-backed black wolf under the man in the wolf hat leaped up and flew over the heads of the elite shield and spear soldiers.
Spears thrust forward from below, but could only create sparks on the gray-white armor on the wolf's belly before being bounced away powerlessly.
"As a master archer, you actually put down your bow. It seems that you also understand that it is over!"
Seeing that the archer chose to put down his longbow, the man in the wolf hat who was closing the distance drew his sword and laughed.
At this moment, in front of him.
Seeing him charging into the battle alone, ignoring the crossbows all the way, and after breaking through the shield and spear formation and the crossbow team, Rhodes smiled and drew his sword.
"What a vigorous and powerful person, but it's a pity that he is just a fool."
The next second, the broad scimitar collided with the disproportionately thin sword blade.
Under the surprised gaze of the man in the wolf hat, the scimitar was actually bounced away.
Rhodes changed to holding the sword with both hands and stepped forward.
After closing the distance, the tip of the armor-piercing sword pierces the enemy's chest.
The tip of the sword touched the armor, but then, due to the wolf-hatted man's forced twisting of his body, which went against the human body structure, the sword was unable to penetrate smoothly.
After leaving a series of sparks on the surface of the armor, it slid down from the right side.
Feeling the pain in his spine from the excessive twisting, the man in the wolf hat realized that something was wrong.
There's something seriously wrong with this damn archer!
"Go to hell!" He gritted his teeth and chopped from top to bottom.
Rhodes turned his body lightly to the left and watched calmly as the scimitar brushed past his cheek.
Although his sword could no longer penetrate the defense, Rhodes did not lose heart.
With the help of the twisting force, he raised his leg high and kicked the man in the wolf hat in the chest, kicking him off the wolf's back.
"It's really hard."
As he fell, Rhodes pulled his sword out of the Iron-Backed Black Wolf's mouth.
After kicking the wolf corpse away, he looked at his sword and checked the tip of the sword.
The sword his father had given him, its sharp, armor-piercing tip striking against the knight's armor.
Not only did it fail to break through the defense, but it itself was broken and the tip shattered.
