Chapter 213: Shield-Axe Soldier Luo Yong
Watching Luo Yong pull out a strange wooden board from his back, Burigude slightly furrowed his brow.
An item must first be needed by someone before it is invented.
Their grasslanders basically fought on horseback.
With one hand on the reins and the other holding a weapon, there was simply no space or position left for a shield.
Thus, shields were undoubtedly foreign to them.
However, he was after all a fierce general with strong combat awareness.
He had an almost instinctive intuition for certain weapons and equipment.
Watching Luo Yong hold a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, he vaguely guessed the purpose of that wooden board.
But this change was not enough to make him retreat.
With the advantage of being higher up, Luo Yong’s every move was clearly seen by him.
Spotting an opportunity, accompanied by a quick sprint from his mount, Burigude resolutely thrust out the bone spear in his hand!
The opponent’s attack came very quickly, immediately bringing with it a sharp whistling sound.
However, Luo Yong did not panic.
Standing firmly on the ground, his entire state became calm.
Maintaining his shield defense posture, he pinpointed the opponent’s attack.
He actively brought the round leather shield forward to meet it.
With a swing of his hand, only a muffled ‘thud’ was heard.
The curved shield surface directly struck Burigude’s bone spear, actually executing a shield counter!!
This came too suddenly.
It almost caught Burigude completely off guard.
Never having seen a shield before, he had only relied on his intuition and guesses, linking it to potentially being used for defense against attacks.
He had absolutely not expected it could be used in such a way.
Luo Yong’s shield counter was thrown with immense force, nearly sending the bone spear flying.
At the same time, it left Burigude wide open in front, full of vulnerabilities.
How could he possibly let such an excellent opportunity pass?
Luo Yong’s right arm suddenly exerted force.
Wielding his double-bladed battle axe, he chopped directly towards Burigude!
From an unexpected shield counter to a quickly followed forward slash, had this guy become stronger after jumping off his horse?
Or was that never-before-seen equipment in his hand causing trouble?
Perhaps both!
Everything happening before his eyes was continuously refreshing his worldview.
The almost overwhelming sense of pressure made Burigude’s heart pound.
Without time to think, he immediately leaned his entire body forward onto his horse’s back.
At the same time, he repeatedly kicked the horse’s flanks.
Understanding its master’s intent, the warhorse immediately maintained its sprint, accelerating to try and shake off Luo Yong, who was pressing in to kill.
“Don’t even think about running!!”
However, Luo Yong, whose attack missed again, clearly wouldn’t give up.
Applying his terrifying strength to his two legs, the speed he generated instantaneously through brute force launched him forward like a cannonball.
At this moment, he suddenly realized this was his more accustomed way of fighting!
As a fierce general with both Bravery and Endurance at 4-star upper limits, Luo Yong’s physical qualities and potential were undoubtedly immense.
Cavalry acceleration takes time, and Luo Yong gave the opponent no such time.
Relying on his abundant stamina, Luo Yong fought intertwined with the opponent all the way, stubbornly fighting for another 20 rounds!
In these 20 rounds, Burigude grew increasingly alarmed as he fought.
The beads of sweat on his forehead also increased.
He had never seen a person like this, able to fight him, a man on horseback, to such an extent with just two legs.
There was even a tendency for him to grow stronger the longer he fought!
However, Burigude had no idea that Luo Yong had a passive skill called ‘Single-Handed.’
When there were no friendly forces within a 100-meter radius of him, his combat power would receive a 50% increase!
They had been charging and fighting, having already largely separated from the main battlefield!
A skill that Luo Ji originally felt was very subtle unexpectedly produced miraculous results at this moment!
“Burigude’s battle rhythm is disrupted…”
Watching the distant battle, Bai Ze’s pupils contracted slightly.
Although half the reason the entire battle situation evolved this way was Burigude’s self-destruction, it was fundamentally because Luo Yong’s actions went beyond their grasslanders’ common sense, catching them off guard!
To be honest, the current situation was even beyond his expectations.
After all, at first, he had merely followed Luo Ji’s intention, giving Luo Yong a bit of training.
He planned to charge in when Luo Yong was about to falter.
However, the situation did not unfold as he expected.
It also suddenly made him realize he had fallen into a misconception.
For himself, it was indeed true that he was stronger with a mount.
But this did not mean everyone was the same.
At least Luo Yong clearly wasn’t like that…
As Bai Ze’s thoughts raced, the distant battle underwent new changes.
With another muffled thud, Luo Yong’s round leather shield struck Burigude’s bone spear again.
It was another shield counter?
This move, which was actually impractical on the battlefield, became Luo Yong’s lethal skill once the two were separated from the main battlefield!
Shield counters were indeed useless in multi-person combat.
Because when you block an opponent’s attack, your front would also be full of vulnerabilities.
If there were other enemies nearby at that time, even the strongest general would probably be instantly stabbed to death by multiple spears.
However, once it was put into single combat, this became a lethal move.
Especially after you continuously shield-countered the opponent’s attacks multiple times, this action would create psychological pressure on the opponent.
They would hesitate, or even fear attacking, worrying that their attack would again be blocked by a shield counter.
After all, once blocked, their entire stance would be broken, thus exposing vulnerabilities.
And the opponent’s pursuit would immediately come in for an attack.
It could be said that every time was extremely perilous!
Burigude hesitated.
As a fierce general, he couldn’t fail to notice his poor state.
Because of the sudden change earlier, he was dragged into the opponent’s battle rhythm, and…
As thoughts rapidly spun in his mind, Burigude glanced at the tip of his bone spear.
The spearhead of his bone spear was made from the hardest section of an animal bone, carefully polished.
It should theoretically be incredibly hard.
However, its surface now had many fine cracks.
Looking at these cracks, Burigude’s facial muscles twitched slightly.
He had deliberately avoided the axe blade of the double-bladed battle axe.
He had also tried his best to avoid direct head-on clashes with the opponent.
However, his weapon still ended up like this.
How terrifyingly strong was the power of this monster in human skin before him?!
