[Health Points: 7776] [Morale: 60] [Quantity: 12]

[Attributes: Armor 90, Movement Speed ​​75, Attack 36, Defense 30, Melee Weapon Power 84 (Armor Penetration), 36 (Unbreakable), Charge Bonus 68]

【Specialty: Heavy cavalry, armor-piercing and lethal】

Three squads of Zombie Beast cavalry, each squad consisting of sixteen riders.

The forest limited their charging speed, and the dead branches and tree trunks forced the Zombietooth Beasts to slow down, using their massive heads and fangs to smash through the obstacles in their path.

The agricultural spearmen's ability to resist all charges also negates their extremely high charge bonus.

Even so, when the first Zombietooth Beast crashed into the formation, the scene was still one of despair.

In the game, no matter how fierce the attack animation of a Zombie Beast Rider is, a single swing can only deal damage to a maximum of four units.

The extra models are simply "knocked away," and they can stand up and continue fighting after landing, unaffected in any way.

But at this moment, right in front of Li Lin, the ogre cavalryman raised the spiked club that was as tall as him and swept it across.

Six lives were lost.

The toothless beast beneath him thrashed about wildly.

It took four more lives, and countless others were seriously injured.

This kind of attack, which relies solely on its enormous size and mass, has completely deviated from the concept of ordinary offense and defense; ordinary infantry would die instantly upon contact with it!

108, 101, 97, 89—The number of peasant spearmen on the left and right sides of the system was plummeting at a terrifying speed.

"Damn it..." Li Lin gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, the battle line did not collapse.

Even the most heavily wounded troops maintained a stable morale bar at 35.

These temporarily conscripted peasant soldiers from Zhen Dan witnessed their comrades being smashed into mincemeat, yet they still gripped their spears tightly, their muscles reacting instinctively as they stabbed at the monster.

Perhaps it was so that his family could leave the desert safely, or perhaps he was brainwashed by the system's halo.

Li Lin asked himself honestly, if it were him, he would be terrified.

He suddenly felt a tremendous sense of responsibility. These people were fighting for him and dying for him, so he had an obligation to win this battle.

Taking a deep breath, Li Lin opened the equipment panel and quickly dragged the [Eternal Flame Banner] to the left side of the peasant spearmen unit that was being ravaged the most by the Zombie Fang Beasts.

The moment the battle flag was hoisted, eerie magical flames suddenly rose from the tips of the spears in the hands of these old peasant soldiers.

The next moment, six flaming spears simultaneously pierced the abdomen of a Zombie Beast.

The beast had been stabbed more than ten times, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds, yet it remained lively and energetic.

But this attack was different; the flames went straight into the wound, igniting the fat layer and burning the internal organs.

The fanged beast, which had never experienced such excruciating pain, let out an unusually mournful howl, its four thick legs suddenly buckling to the ground, throwing the ogre rider off its back.

The ogre was thrown into the middle of the spear formation and was instantly pierced by seven or eight spears. Fire shot from its eye sockets, and it turned into a charred corpse before it could even scream.

efficient!

Li Lin's experience from the two battles told him that the Flame Enchantment seemed to be very effective against large-sized enemies.

At this moment, at least ten more cavalrymen of the Zombie Fang Beasts surged toward the Box Formation, three of which plunged headlong into the Box Formation directly in front of them.

The remaining troops bypassed the woods and headed towards the artillery camp behind them.

Li Lin's emotions were like a rollercoaster, from despair to confusion, and finally he realized that reality is different from the game. The troops in the game have a kind of malice towards the players and always make surrounding and killing the players their primary goal.

However, on the battlefield at this time, the enemy's ultimate goal in maneuvering was to destroy the artillery camp, not to fight to the death.

He had intercepted those he needed to, and as long as he could get past the encirclement of the six cavalry units of the Zombie Fang Beasts, he should be able to find an opportunity to retreat.

With this in mind, Li Lin began frequently switching battle flags on the military interface.

Flames leap between different units, ensuring that the spearmen who are most engaged with enemy monsters are always the first to receive the fire enchantment.

Meanwhile, the arrows fired by Xing Ganqi, who was constantly supplying support from the rear, also began to take effect.

Each arrow he fired had a lasting effect; within a minute or two, the joints, eye sockets, and sides of the neck of the mongrel beast struck by the pale arrows would sprout lush green vines and branches that were enough to slow down the beast's movements.

The forelegs of a Zombie Beast were completely entangled in wood buds, making it unable to walk normally. It could only struggle in place and was eventually stabbed to death by more than a dozen spears.

Another Zombie Beast had an arrow lodged in its eye socket, its head wrapped in branches, and it lost its sight. In its rampage, it knocked over two of its companions.

All the fanged beasts and ogres that die from being struck by arrows eventually turn into rock-solid tree stumps, becoming natural obstacles to block the charge of subsequent monster cavalry.

The meat grinder battle has entered its most brutal stalemate phase.

People were dying on both sides every second. Both Li Lin, the general, and the peasant soldiers at the front line had fallen into a state of fanaticism and numbness, fighting to the bitter end.

Of the seven peasant spearmen, totaling 840 men, nearly 200 had died in less than five minutes, leaving corpses strewn across the field.

Meanwhile, the Zombie Beast Cavalry was disintegrating at the same rate.

Six cavalry units of the Fanged Beasts, totaling seventy-two monsters, first dropped to forty-eight, then plummeted to twelve.

When the last three ogre cavalrymen realized that all their comrades had died, they were already trapped deep in the infantry lines and had no time to run away. The next moment, they were riddled with holes by a dense barrage of spear tips.

Annihilated.

The forest has been destroyed, turned into a charred and foul-smelling cremation ground.

The carcass of a colossus, bits of flesh, broken spears, and still-burning human fat...

"Take stock of casualties and replenish positions." Li Lin's voice was hoarse; he had been shouting, urging all units in Lushun to quickly fill the broken infantry lines.

Those brigade commanders had probably died long ago, so Yi Ge's orders were largely ineffective. In the end, they could only rely on Yu Yong's personal guards to raise flags and blow horns to barely organize the formation.

Fortunately, it was a dense box formation. If the team had been larger and the formation more scattered, the command system would definitely have been in chaos.

"Move the bodies of the fallen to the rear."

"Take the pills, drink the water, and the formation will be restored in five minutes."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the direction of the Sinan cart, his boots wet, soaked with warm blood.

Li Lin opened the system map, zoomed out to survey the battlefield, and looked for a suitable place to evacuate.

But after just one glance, his face turned incredibly gloomy.

The entire left flank infantry line collapsed and retreated.

There were fifty or sixty infantrymen, all with an average of two-thirds of their health remaining, but their morale had dropped to zero, and they were desperately fleeing to the rear.

Those lords' officers representing the commanders fled even faster, having already slipped back into the fortress.

Panic spread like a plague through the rearguard group.

With their superior charge bonuses, the Zombie-toothed Beasts, Saber-toothed Tigers, and Blood Vultures could wipe out several Jade Warrior units of a hundred men in just a few breaths.

Li Lin switched his perspective and saw the infantry battalion next to him, the one that had previously set up the fish-scale formation.

Before his soldiers could escape more than a few steps, they were trampled into mincemeat by a mountain-sized stone beast.

A chill rose from the soles of Li Lin's feet and shot straight to his head.

On the system map, several red soldier markers have already passed through the gaps between the infantry battalions and are pouring into the artillery positions.

Just as he predicted in the military council.

With the artillery positions about to fall, the rearguard army group began its countdown to destruction.
