Those burning stones can actually explode. Although the power is not as strong as Liu Mang's super bomb, all the cavalry within a ten-meter radius were killed and wounded. Under the intensive charge, the cavalry suffered heavy casualties.
p>

In the lion army camp, siege trebuchets were constantly used to throw explosive boulders, which fell like cannonballs on the army formation behind Liu Mang, killing and injuring wave after wave of cavalry.<

/p>

Liu Mang's army had already killed and wounded over a thousand people before they could reach the front of the lion army.

Liu Mang knew very well that it was a trebuchet used to attack the city. It was really powerful. Now he had to close the distance with the lion army as soon as possible. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, rush to me. Rush to the front of their formation.

Once you get into their formation, those trebuchets will be useless, kill them!"

"Kill!"

Amidst the shouts of the mountains, Liu Mang's army moved faster and faster. Seeing Liu Mang rushing to a place only a thousand meters in front of the lion army's formation, countless strong men suddenly emerged from the lion army.

Each strongman carries a heavy shield on his hand, which is three meters high and at least twenty centimeters thick. It is made of gold and iron and weighs at least a thousand kilograms. There are several holes on the shield, and the bottom is triangular in shape.

.

The warriors came to the front of the formation, thrust their heavy shields into the ground, and supported them with thick logs behind them.

In just a short time, a steel defense line appeared in front of the lion army's formation. Densely packed tall shields were connected one after another, blocking the lion army's formation, forming a steel defense line.

The pikemen at the back extended their spear tips from the holes in their shields, waiting for Liu Mang's army to come over.

Looking at the steel defense line in front of him, the burning stones falling from the sky, and the military formation of the Lion Army, Liu Mang understood why Victor Bolen called the main force of the Lion Army the Iron Army.

This army in front of us, even if the coach is seriously injured and dying, can still defend and counterattack in an orderly manner, which is definitely difficult to deal with.

But at this point, it was absolutely impossible for Liu Mang to lead his troops to retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and charge forward.

The distance to the lion army's position was getting closer and closer, and it was already less than 500 meters away. Suddenly, countless arrows shot out from the lion army's formation.

It's the kind of arrow with a diameter of four centimeters and a length of more than one meter. With its long distance, it looks like it was shot by a hard crossbow.

At least several thousand hard crossbows were fired at the cavalry formation behind Liu Mang. Facing the hard crossbows, the cavalry could not resist them. A round of hard crossbows came, and at least a thousand people fell in a pool of blood.

Immediately afterwards, another round of hard crossbows came, more than the last time.

When Liu Mang rushed forward, he was only two hundred meters away from the lion army. A dense rain of arrows shot over the tall shields, overwhelming the sky with sharp arrows.

Liu Mang endured pelting stones, hard crossbows, and rain of arrows, and paid a heavy price before finally rushing to the front of the main force of the Lion Clan.

Liu Mang's clairvoyant eyes discovered that the thick shield in front of him actually had more than twenty layers, and the total thickness was more than four meters. It seemed that those guys wanted to block the tip of his cavalry sword.
p>

Liu Mang roared, and a Flame Dragon hit him from afar.

The violent flame dragon took action and flew straight towards the shield in front.

Three meters high and twenty centimeters thick, the hard shield made of gold and iron was torn like rags when the flame dragon killed it.

Even though it was laid more than twenty layers and four meters thick, it was still easily smashed to pieces by the Flame Dragon. The powerful Flame Dragon rushed into the enemy formation and strangled one Lion Clan soldier after another.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mang swung the Dragon God Fist at the shields on both sides. With his own strength, he opened a gap of at least 80 meters in the steel defense line composed of thick shields by the lion army. He took the lead and held the fist in his hand.

Dragon God Sword led the troops into the lion army.

Following closely behind Liu Mang were hundreds of wolf cavalry who had experienced hundreds of battles. Under the leadership of Liu Mang, they pierced into the lion army formation like the tip of a knife.

Behind them are the lion tribe's bald cavalry, constantly charging forward.

But more cavalry had no choice but to face the steel defense line. They rushed to the shield under the rain of arrows and slammed into it, killing many of them on the spot.

Countless cavalry rushed to the shield, but few were able to break through the huge shield with a thick log behind it, and most of them were blocked.

The lion clan spearmen hiding behind the shields used their spears from the holes in the shields to continuously assassinate the cavalry of Liu Mang's army who were blocked by the shields. Each of the cavalrymen died under the spear points, and blood quickly flowed into a river in front of the shield.
p>

With shields and spearmen in front, archers can draw their bows and shoot arrows from behind very safely, and shoot sharp arrows again and again.

Liu Mang's army suffered heavy casualties, but more and more cavalry rushed to the shields, and many shields could no longer withstand the impact and fell down.

Some cavalry rushed to the shield, climbed up on the back of their mounts, climbed over the shield, and fought with the spearmen, or they even pushed down the big wood that was supporting the shield to reinforce it without fear of death, and let the outside

The companion can knock down the shield relatively easily.

Not only the main force led by Liu Mang, but also the left and right armies led by Xiong Ba and Meng Ao also encountered the steel defense line of the lion army. The 200,000-strong army turned out to be like an iron bucket, using shields and spearmen,

The archers continued to consume the strength of Liu Mang's army.

It was very difficult for Liu Mang to lead the army to charge inside. There were densely packed soldiers inside, and they were not afraid of death. They were not comparable to the soldiers of the Lion Clan's Youlu Army led by Jin Wudi. Often, if one was killed, there would be

Two people rushed up, but they couldn't kill them all.

What's even more terrible is that the archers of the lion army, completely ignoring their companions, kept shooting sharp arrows here. The cavalry who entered the formation suffered heavy losses. In a short period of time, there were dozens of wolf cavalry.

Died in battle.

Those wolf cavalry are all elite cavalry in hundreds of battles. The eight hundred wolf cavalry have followed Liu Mang in the charge until now. After several deadly battles, they only lost 300 people. Now it is better, they have lost dozens of people in a short period of time. It can be seen that

How tragic.

Seeing that the cavalry charge was about to be blocked, Liu Mang knew that going on like this was not an option, and he would be trapped like a quagmire if he continued like this.

The Chinese army has a total of 200,000 cavalry, but most of them are blocked by the Lion Clan's steel defense line and spearmen. Only I can lead the troops in, and the cavalry army is completely restricted.

Liu Mang pointed to the right and ordered to Victor Bolen, "Let's separate. You kill to the right and destroy the shield line as much as possible!"

Liu Mang gave an order and separated from Victor Bolen. Each led half of the cavalry to cover them from the left and right, and began to attack the army of spearmen hiding behind the shields.
Chapter completed!
