Chapter 121: Massacre (Part II)
Crazy, the Burgundians were completely insane this time, and in the face of the tortoiseshell array we had formed, they formed a semicircle, like a bloody mouth, trying to swallow us alive.
The attack, which was a complete suicidal attack, one after another the Burgundians fell before our shields, but a steady stream of people refilled, as if it were no longer a matter of fear and intimidation for death, but a relief for them.
The woman, another woman, her hair was disheveled, like the shrew who scolded the streets, and she roared angrily, and her voice was as sharp as that of a screaming groundhog. It was as if she had been possessed by a demon, and her mouth kept saying words that we couldn't understand, and this woman kept flapping the shields in our hands, and even climbed onto the tortoiseshell array with the corpses piled up under her feet, clenched her fists, and smashed down tirelessly and painlessly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
After all, she is a weak woman, and she can't shake the shield with all her strength. Her presence was nothing more than a burden of tens of kilograms for the soldier who raised the shield, and she was on top of my head, and I pressed my horned helmet against the shield on the other side, and I had to bear the weight of this madwoman while killing the Burgundian who pounced on me.
She tried to realize the weakness of her strength, and that it was futile to pound the shield, but she withdrew, and then her attention began to focus on the gaps in the layers of oval shields, and she saw faces covered in blood and red armor. She thought she had a solution, only to see her reach into the void, scratching desperately at every face she could touch with her sharp fingernails.
"Kill her! Above, kill her! ”
Behind me, the soldier she had injured shook his head to dodge her sharp nails, and the shield against my head had become unstable from the soldier's commotion, as if it were about to be withdrawn at any moment. I looked back and saw that his face was covered in blood from the woman's grasp, and my heart sank and I thought to myself, no matter what, I can't let this woman do this again.
"Drop your shield! Drop this woman down! ”
I shook my blood-soaked cavalry sword and shouted at the soldiers behind me, only to see that he finally couldn't bear the woman's claws or something, and jerked away from the shield that was on top of my head. The Burgundian woman, who lost her balance in an instant, slammed her whole body on my right shoulder and rolled to the ground before she could scream. Lying on all fours, it seems that she was stunned.
The Burgundian pounced again, and I jerked forward with my shield in my left hand, knocking down the Burgundian who was still trying to pull my shield, and slammed my right foot on the woman's chest.
The woman snorted, and I didn't hesitate, holding the sword in my backhand, the tip of the sword pointing downward, and just as I raised my sword and was about to stab it, I hesitated. Because I looked down, the first thing I saw was the Burgundian woman's tearful eyes, and her pale face wet with tears. She looked at me as well, her trembling lips snorting and chirping, I didn't understand what it meant, but as she spoke, the tears came again.
My foot slammed into her chest, and the force was so great that she couldn't even breathe. She must have given up resisting, and her free hands didn't even try to scratch my right leg to force me to let go. She gently touched her right hand to her chest, and it was as if I had hurt her. He has messy hair and a pale face full of freckles, but his facial features are so delicate that he doesn't even have wrinkles.
"You're not as old as me, why!" I asked, slowly moving my foot down, and holding the tip of the sword against the heart of her chest. I don't know how much inner struggle I did, I couldn't help trembling with the hilt of the sword in my hand, and I didn't have the courage to exert my strength after a long time.
The war made the woman go away, but why didn't this stupid girl run for her life, but saw the spearhead and was about to bump into it? I couldn't understand it, there was a sentence in my heart, I just said in my heart: "Begging for mercy, even if you shake your head slowly, I will forgive you, I will let you go!" ”
But the girl closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, ran over her dirt and bloodstained face, and disappeared into the dirt beneath her. She has lost hope in life, and this brave girl is ready to face death.
Really, this time, it's really not that I'm weak in my heart, well, it's the same thing to say weak. This girl, I didn't have the courage to take her life, and in the end, I relented.
I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself for the sudden outburst of this girl who would suddenly burst out and bite me like a beast. But now she was lying on the ground quietly like a lovely angel, and I had removed the tip of my sword. Tell yourself in your heart that if this girl is going to mess around like she did just now, I will definitely kill her, I will!
As I expected, she lay on the ground, motionless, and the minutes and seconds passed, and then she slowly opened her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from her moist eyes, which must have been held back for a long time. At this time, she looked surprised, probably never expected that I didn't kill her.
She looked at me intently, her eyes full of puzzlement, and I looked at her, looking at each other, and no one spoke.
"Luga be careful!"
In my distraction, I heard Andrew's exclamation, and when I turned around, I saw a hideous face coming at me, clenching a spear with both hands and smashing it at me with the end of the wooden handle.
"Bang!"
As soon as I ducked my head, the stick slammed straight into my helmet like a punch to the head. In an instant, I was unsteady on my legs, took two steps back and fell to the ground.
"Hah! So you can be soft-hearted too? ”
Hearing that ridicule, I came back to my senses and looked at it, and it turned out to be Guy.
He turned his spearhead and directed the Burgundians behind him to attack again, for my retreat had caused a gap in the tortoiseshell formation, and the angry Burgundians had used the same method we had used to tear them apart, smashing away the soldier who was trying to fill the void and squeezing into the hole.
"Not good!"
My heart tightened, and I straightened my helmet that had just been knocked off. At this time, the situation was getting more and more out of control, and the menacing Burgundian was about to tear the tortoiseshell array in two.
"Hahahaha, enjoy, Aurius. Luga! ”
Guy's voice came from behind the Burgundians, and I couldn't think about it, the Burgundians had pounced, and I had to wave my shield to block the oncoming Burgundians.
Scattered in the phalanx, the soldiers had to fight on their own, and the Burgundians had an overwhelming advantage, and soon evolved into one Roman soldier against three or more Burgundians. One after another, Andrew's Roman soldiers and I fell, and Andrew kept retreating, even pulling me to the Rhine to escape. How could the Burgundians just let us go, they chased and fought, and did not forgive.
"Click......"
A loud crash came from a few hundred meters behind the Burgundians, in the direction of the Roman legions, so loud that everyone on the river beach could hear it clearly.
At the same time, everyone stopped fighting, and they all raised their heads in unison. I saw dozens of meteorites falling from the sky overhead, burning in the air, dragging slender black smoke, and the target was us on the river beach.
