Chapter 162: Fierce Generals’ Battle
“Large shield soldiers unit!”
“Form a shield wall, quick!!”
His mindset exploded inexplicably.
At this moment, Luo Ji had an utterly dumbfounded expression, as if he’d seen a ghost.
Is this guy cheating?
Without the aid of horse gear like stirrups or saddles, he managed to perform an incredibly difficult leap over his horse using just a single rein?
What in the hell kind of international joke was this?!
After leaping over the chevaux de frise, the thirty-meter distance was covered in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the cavalry chief who had suddenly charged before them, every one of the large shield-wielding soldiers had a taut expression.
That battle a few days ago had left them with a deep impression of this new military unit!
Now facing this unit again, it was certainly false to say they felt no apprehension.
Who knew that at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred again!
Riding his warhorse, the cavalry chief, after a thirty-meter run-up, once again leaped into the air before everyone’s eyes!
All of this happened too quickly, in an instant.
The cavalry chief, man and horse together, leaped directly over everyone’s heads!
This caught the large shield-wielding soldiers and spearmen, who had already mentally prepared themselves for a frontal assault, completely off guard!
What to do?
Should they turn to defend?
Or continue to maintain the shield wall formation?
Ten people had ten different ideas, and a hundred people had a hundred different ideas.
At this moment, different thoughts flashed through every soldier’s mind, and those differing ideas caused a clear disintegration of the otherwise perfect shield wall formation.
In a flash of lightning, Luo Ji made an immediate decision.
His powerful instant judgment allowed him to directly activate the ‘Inspire Morale’ skill, and he quickly issued commands.
“Large shield soldiers unit, continue to maintain the shield wall formation!”
“Archer unit, fall back thirty steps!”
“Liu Zheng, stop him for me!!”
Luo Ji’s ‘Inspire Morale’ skill was deployed just in time, like a shot in the arm, instantly calming the bewildered soldiers.
With such exquisite horsemanship, capable of two consecutive leaps, only this seemingly cheating cavalry chief could jump directly over.
The rest of the cavalry unit was completely blocked behind the chevaux de frise.
And the chevaux de frise being moved away, the cavalry unit fully charging up was only a matter of time.
At times like this, the large shield-wielding unit and the spearmen behind them needed to block them.
Therefore, the front line’s shield wall formation absolutely could not collapse!
Otherwise, if the formation broke, then when the opposing cavalry unit charged up and started circling, everything would be over.
As for the cavalry chief, knowing of his existence, would Luo Ji not bring a fierce general for self defense?
Liu Zheng, receiving the command, reacted with incredible speed.
He powerfully tensed his arms, raising his hand for a three-strike thrust directly at the man and horse airborne!
This was a moment that truly tested the limits of human reflexes.
Facing Liu Zheng’s tricky attack, the cavalry chief, riding on horseback, narrowed his pupils.
Precisely aiming the attack angle, the stone spear in his hand also thrust out, actually countering with a three-strike thrust of his own.
At that time, only three explosive ‘bangs’ were heard.
Stone spear met battle-axe, three times in a row, the seamless three-strike thrusts astonishingly collided completely.
This almost stunning feat left Luo Ji, who was watching from behind, dumbfounded.
Liu Zheng’s face, however, showed a hint of solemnity.
The degree to which this cavalry chief’s skill had reached, to be able to block all three of those three-strike thrusts in such a manner, was truly imaginable.
However, his attack was not entirely without effect as it clearly caused the opponent’s center of gravity to shift, resulting in the man and horse nearly toppling over upon landing.
Liu Zheng naturally wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity.
Dragging his battle-axe, he lunged forward, using the momentum from his explosive speed to unleash a front facing cleave of astonishing power.
This blow clearly startled the cavalry chief.
With great effort, he pulled at the reins, stabilizing his stance.
At this moment, he had no choice but to grip the stone spear with both hands, immediately adopting a parrying stance.
Despite being a simple parry, there was skill involved.
No matter how tough a wooden pole, if hit head-on by the battle-axe’s blade, it would absolutely break into two pieces instantly.
Just at this critical juncture, the cavalry chief, sitting on horseback, actually moved forward proactively, directly avoiding the battle-axe’s blade, causing the handles of the two weapons to collide!
A simple movement, but one that required immense courage to execute!
Under the impact of exaggerated force, the battle-axe’s handle visibly bent.
Despite the cavalry chief straining his head backward with all his might, the force of the impact still struck his face, instantly shattering his animal bone mask and revealing a familiar face beneath!
Having not seen him for a long time, the expression between his brows was still full of sharpness, but now it also held a few traces of steadfastness and composure!
He also had a new name, Bai Ze!
A trail of blood flowed from his forehead, clearly injured by that last blow.
But at this moment, Bai Ze had no time to attend to it.
Liu Zheng below, after a single pursuit, gained the upper hand and mercilessly unleashed a barrage of follow-up attacks, completely intent on suppressing him to death, giving him no room to counterattack!
Facing such a powerful offense, Bai Ze’s expression clearly became grim.
In terms of skill, he was definitely a cut above his opponent, but no matter how strong your skill, you need an opportunity to strike.
Constantly suppressed by Liu Zheng’s fierce assault, and only able to passively defend, he couldn’t seize an opportunity to counter, thus unable to display even his strongest skills.
Such ultra-high frequency strong attacks were undoubtedly a huge burden on the body.
Spotting an opening, Bai Ze, who had been taking hits for a long time, decisively thrust out his spear.
The incredibly tricky attack angle made Liu Zheng’s hair stand on end as he realized the danger approaching, and he quickly dodged with a back jump.
This jump, however, completely freed Bai Ze from the suppression he had been under, allowing him to escape!
Then, slapping his warhorse, this time, it was his turn to actively pursue and kill!
The positions of both sides reversed for a moment.
In a few breaths’ time, more than ten rounds had already passed.
The battle between the two fierce generals was dazzling for Luo Ji to watch, yet also left him helpless.
The level of combat here was too high, reaching a point where he was completely unable to intervene!
Fortunately, possessing the ‘Ruler’ talent, he himself was a human-shaped BUFF.
The combat power of the army he led increased by thirty percent.
In other words, at this moment, simply by standing there, he was already fulfilling his value.
