This was simply infuriating.
Fortunately, the thickness of the large shields in his shieldbearing squad was sufficient, preventing them from being easily smashed by a few act strikes.
Just as he was thinking this, a figure with clearly overloaded equipment charged out from the enemy formation.
Everyone step aside.
Watch me.
In an instant, Luo Yong, rushing in with one hand, effortlessly swung the double-bladed battle axe, which was custom made for him and had an exaggerated, fierce design.
He did not need any technique at all.
It was a simple and brutal swing accompanied by a thunderous roar.
That terrifying power reached a level capable of crushing obstacles, and the shield wall blocking him was smashed apart with a single act strike.
The shattered large shield sent splinters of wood flying everywhere.
In that moment, Jeang Yishing<unk>s facial expression completely lost control.
His mind went blank and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
How could such a thing be possible? Not to mention him.
Even Guojan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Although he had said before that Luo Yong relied too much on his strength, no one could deny that this guy's power was somewhat unreasonable, there was no time to think further.
Eager to achieve merit, Gujan seized the opportunity and charged indecisively, killing as he advanced.
Ordinary soldiers were no match for him, and in just a breath's time, he had already failed two opponents.
The lethality of the brass axe was evident at this moment.
Every axe strike against the enemy soldiers resulted in blood splattering.
Meanwhile, Lu Yong was even more straightforward.
The double-bladed battle ax in his hand became a true killing weapon amidst the clash of the two armies.
Unstoppable.
Guan, watching from distance, felt a pang of envy.
Unfortunately, envy was useless.
It wasn't that Luo Yong was treating anyone differently, but rather that no one else could wield that double-bladed battle axe with one hand like he could.
In small-cale battles like this, where the numbers hadn't reached thousands or tens of thousands, the strength of individual capabilities was still crucial.
The charge of the two fierce warriors, Lu Yong and Gujan, severely damaged the shieldbearing squad, making Jeang Ying in the rear feel a surge of fear.
He quickly shouted orders.
Everyone abandon the large shields.
Switch to melee combat mode.
With Jeang Yang<unk>s command given, the movements of the enemy's shieldbearing squad caught Lu G's attention, sparking a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This was quite interesting.
He hadn't noticed before that the soldiers in the shieldbearing squad actually carried medium-sized shields on their backs.
With a change in weaponry, the previously defensive shieldbearing squad instantly transformed into shield act soldiers.
Troop types similar to this had indeed appeared in the history of their celestial empire.
The most famous being the way Woo soldiers.
They wielded long halbirds, carried iron swords at their waists, and were equipped with powerful crossbows with shields strapped to their backs.
They could switch fluidly between long halbird soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and crossbow soldiers.
No matter what type of enemy they faced, they could adapt their troop type to counter it.
If the opponent sent cavalry, they would use long halbirds.
If archers tried to wear them down, they would switch to sword and shield.
History proved that such elite troops were indeed formidable, even achieving the legendary feat of 5000 way Woo soldiers, defeating 500qin troops.
They were nearly invincible throughout an entire era.
As a fervent enthusiast of special troop types, Luog had naturally researched this.
Well, however, because he had studied it, he understood just how difficult it was to train a troop like the Wayu soldiers.
The costs were high, and it was impossible to estimate how many resources it took to maintain such an army.
Furthermore, the requirements for soldiers in this troop type were exceptionally high.
long halberts, iron swords, powerful crossbows, bolts, shields, plus a full set of armor.
Did he think anyone could carry all that? As for combat training, it was even more demanding.
With so much equipment, soldiers had to master all.
Adding everything up, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the way Woo soldiers were the hardest troop type to replicate in the entire cold weapon era.
Back to the point, Jang Yishing squad was clearly miles away from being comparable to the way Woo soldiers and there was no real comparability at all.
However, the information revealed was enough to prove that the enemy had likely entertained such thoughts.
For a moment, even Lu G felt a bit tempted the way Woo soldiers.
The update is here.
Thanks to book friends 1325, and Iron Blood Silver Dragon Spear for their monthly votes.
Today's update was slightly delayed, but I actually woke up early to write.
However, I encountered a rather unfortunate problem.
It seemed that since last midnight, I had a power outage.
I woke up this morning to find my phone, which was charging, had run out of battery and shut down automatically.
It wasn't until nearly noon that I resolved the power issue.
It was truly a frustrating morning.
End of chapter chapter 154, the counterattack begins.
The battle is still ongoing.
After transforming into shield axe soldiers, the mobility of that unit has clearly improved significantly.
Facing Luo Yong's wide-swinging double-edged battle axe, they have shifted from a strategy of relying on large shields to absorb attacks to a more flexible combat approach, making it possible to fight back.
Just as the situation here has barely stabilized, Xiaoan, who has been holding the city gate entrance and waiting for an opportunity, suddenly seizes the moment to strike.
He quickly makes a hand gesture and without needing to say much, the two, having become old partners over the past few months, have developed a tacit understanding.
Lu Jang swings his ax and with long accumulated momentum he erupts at this moment targeting the enemy leader Jeang Yish charging straight at him.
A sudden change in the situation instantly reverses the positions of both sides.
Under such circumstances, Jeang Yishing<unk>s face pales and he shouts loudly, "Break left quickly.
Break left.
" In this invasion battle, he can see no glimmers of victory.
It's either breakthrough or die in battle.
And of course, he chooses to break through.
Who the hell is so impatient to live? Want to die that badly? However, Lu G will not let him have his way.
After a night of force marching, given their current state, they do not have the extra energy to engage in a pursuit battle.
To avoid such a situation, when he previously ordered the shield axe soldiers to advance, the entire formation had already spread out in a surrounding posture.
Submit and die.
Gujan, eager to achieve merit, forcefully blocks the way with his brass battle axe.
Faced with this situation, Jeang Ying<unk>s expression turns grim, and he directly sends out his fierce general to confront Gujan.
Jeang Yao drive him back.
Clear a path.
Understood.
Hearing Jeang Ying<unk>s command, Jeang Yao, now equipped with shield ax soldier gear, resolutely charges towards the blocking Gujan.
Judging solely by their weapons, Gujan, wielding the brass battle axe, has a clear advantage.
But Jeang Yao is not a mediocre fighter.
In a simple exchange, he surprisingly fails to push Gujan back all at once, which is quite unexpected.
Again, Gujan grins, his fighting spirit ignited, and when he strikes again, his attacks become even more ferocious.
Watching the two become entangled.
With no clear winner in sight for the moment, Jeang Ying's expression darkens.
Just as his thoughts race, a menacing battle axe suddenly swings out, cutting through the air with a heavy wind pressure aimed at him.
This frightens him to the point of losing color.
And without time to think, he rolls away to dodge while continuously commanding the surrounding shield axe soldiers to attack.
Having delivered a strike he was so confident about, Lu Jung cannot help but feel a bit frustrated when he fails to take Jeang Yishing<unk>s life.
As he charges forward, he glances at the shield axe soldiers surrounding him.
Clearly not taking these foot soldiers seriously.
Maintaining his battle ax's striking position, he suddenly slashes with both arms and with a roaring wind pressure, he performs a large spinning strike centered on himself, forcefully pushing back the enemies trying to encircle him.
Then he locks his gaze on the fleeing Jeang Yish and once again charges after him with his battle axe swinging.
At this moment, Jeang Yishing feels an unbearable bitterness.
