Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
Under Zhang He's leadership, the halberdiers displayed astonishing resilience and combat prowess. Their halberds, gripped tightly in both hands, thrust towards the enemy like cannonballs, each strike precise and powerful.
Although the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry were brave and skilled in battle, they had no good way to deal with the circular formation of the Halberdiers for the time being.
They tried to find a breakthrough, but each time they were blocked by the tightly coordinated defense of the halberdiers.
The smoke of battle grew thicker, and the fighting between the two sides became increasingly fierce.
"Fight back! Don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Seeing that the enemy's offensive had slowed down, Zhang He immediately gave an order.
"Ding! Zhang He's skill, Halberd, is activated!"
Halberd: The halberd warrior is capable of taking on ten opponents single-handedly; this is Zhang He's unique skill.
Effect 1: Activated during a duel, increases attack power by 3.
Effect 2: Activated when commanding troops, increases Command by 1 and Strength by 1. If combined with the exclusive troop type "Halberdier", Command increases by 2 and Strength by 2. At the same time, soldier morale, combat strength, stamina, coordination, and teamwork all increase...
Zhang He's current base attributes are: Command 95, Strength 96, Intelligence 80, and Politics 76.
Zhang He's current skill, Halberd Effect 2, is activated when leading troops, granting +1 to Command and +1 to Strength. If combined with the exclusive troop type "Halberd Warrior," Command is further increased by +2 and Strength by +2. Zhang He's current Command and Strength combined are now at 98 and 99 respectively!
At his command, the halberd warriors pounced on the Iron Wall Guards opposite them like tigers released from their cages.
The halberd and shield formed an impeccable offensive and defensive system, leaving the Iron Wall Guards and Black Cavalry on the battlefield helpless for a time.
At this moment, Zhang He commanded the battle with the ease and skill of a battlefield commander.
Although Zhang He's halberd-wielding legion managed to stabilize its position for a time, the battle remained deadlocked against the equally elite Iron Wall Guard and Black Cavalry.
The three sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war on the battlefield, with lives being lost and blood flowing every moment.
The Iron Wall Guards, like a torrent of steel, wielded massive shields identical to those of the Halberdiers, which served as mobile fortresses, relentlessly closing in on the Halberdiers' defenses.
Each shield bash seemed poised to utterly destroy the halberdiers' defenses.
The Xuanbiao Cavalry, on the other hand, moved nimbly across the battlefield, their spears gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Zhang He was in the middle of the battle when he saw his halberd warriors gradually losing ground under the combined attack of two elite forces, and his heart sank.
"Hold the line! Halberdiers, hold off the enemy's attack!"
Zhang He brandished his halberd and shouted loudly.
Although his voice carried a hint of weariness, it was still full of authority and determination.
The halberd warriors were invigorated upon hearing Zhang He's shout.
He gripped the halberd tightly in his hand, using all his strength to resist the enemy's attack.
Although his steps were a little unsteady due to the long battle, his eyes remained firm.
However, the offensive of the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry did not weaken.
They seemed to have noticed the fatigue of the halberdier legion, and their offensive became even more intense.
The Iron Wall Guards' massive shields pressed down on the halberdiers' defenses like mountains, while the Black Cavalry's spears searched for the halberdiers' weaknesses like venomous snakes.
Seeing the unfavorable situation in the battle, Zhang He was extremely anxious.
He knew that this couldn't go on; he had to find a way out.
While directing his halberdiers to repel the enemy's attack, he secretly observed the dynamics of the battlefield.
Finally, he discovered the enemy's weakness.
Although the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry were brave and skilled in battle, there were subtle gaps in their coordination.
"Halberd warriors, charge with me! Break through the enemy lines!"
Zhang He was overjoyed and immediately gave the order.
At Zhang He's command, the halberd warriors charged towards the enemy's defenses like cannonballs.
The Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry were caught off guard by the sudden charge, and their defensive line was instantly torn open.
However, Zhang He did not let his guard down because of this.
Instead, he continued to wield his halberd, leading his halberd warriors in a charge forward.
The captain of the Iron Wall Guard was startled to see the defensive line breached, but he did not panic.
He brandished his massive shield, shouting, "Hold on! Don't let them break through!"
At his shout, the Iron Wall Guards quickly adjusted their formation, attempting to block the halberdiers' charge.
The commander of the Xuanbiao Cavalry did not stand idly by.
With a swing of his spear, he led the Black Cavalry in another fierce charge against the halberdiers from the flank.
As the Halberdier Legion was firmly held back by the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry, the atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense.
At this moment, Lian Po, the commander-in-chief located at the rear of the battlefield, had sharp eyes and was keeping a close eye on the battle situation ahead.
He was dressed in heavy armor, and although he was old, his majesty was no less than that of the young and strong, and a sense of killing intent naturally emanated from him.
Seeing that the Halberdier Legion was firmly held back by the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry, their advance was difficult and heavy.
Lian Po, standing at the rear of the battlefield, narrowed his eyes, emanating an aura of majesty.
"Ding! Lian Po's skill 'Sharp Defense' activated!"
Sharpness and Defense: Iron-blooded battlefields forge loyal souls, Sharpness and Defense together guard the frontier, this is the exclusive skill of Lian Po, one of the four great generals of the Warring States period!
Effect 1: When in an offensive state, your own leadership increases by 2, and the strength of the entire army increases by 1.
Effect 2: When in a state of offense instead of defense, or defense instead of offense, your own leadership increases by 3, and the entire army's attack power increases by 2.
Effect 3: When in a defensive state, your own leadership increases by 4, and the attack power of the entire army increases by 3.
Lian Po's current leadership value is 100, and he is currently in an offensive state. Once the "Feng Yu" skill effect is activated, leadership increases by 2, bringing Lian Po's current leadership value to 102!
With a gentle wave of his command flag, the war drums thundered, and the soldiers of the Cangzhou army moved at the sound of the drums, surging forward like a torrent.
"Cangzhou Army, heed my command! All troops, advance and support the Halberdiers!"
Lian Po snorted coldly and gave a loud command.
His voice was deep and powerful, piercing through the clamor of the battlefield and echoing in the ears of every soldier.
Following Lian Po's command, the Cangzhou army, which had been waiting in the wings, began to move slowly forward like a giant beast that had been awakened.
The clanging sound of armor clashing was like the drumbeat of advance, stirring the soldiers' blood.
The Cangzhou Army is the main fighting force under Su Ye's command. Their troop composition is more complete, including heavy infantry with spears, agile archers, and heavily armored cavalry.
At this moment, they surged forth like a torrent, heading straight for the center of the battlefield.
The infantrymen, armed with spears and shields, advanced steadily in orderly formation.
The shield in their hands was like a moving city wall, while the spear was like the dense trees in a forest, forming an impregnable defensive line.
The archers followed closely behind, their longbows already drawn, ready to unleash a volley of arrows at the command.
