Chapter 300

"Bang!"

In the barracks on the west side of Pinghu Town, Nelson slapped on the oak table, stood up and shouted, "the infantry square array has both attack and defense, just like a blade iron wall. I saw the fish man in front of it. How can such an excellent battle array be useless?"

"Sir, I can't say anything. In my opinion, no matter what kind of tactics, it's just easy to use! If we had mastered the spear array, my left hand wouldn't have been bitten off by the jackals." A disabled old mercenary put his left arm with an iron hook on the table. One eyed longgru said, "old Kent is right. When we encounter a large number of jackals, we will form an array to protect ourselves, but our tortoise armor array can defend or attack. If we have a spear array, we can fight a beautiful counterattack, or withdraw while fighting, and the jackals will never dare to catch up!"

"Sir, the York family has not arranged a spear array. How can we conclude that this battle array is useless?"

Gru's question resonated with the participants, and everyone agreed. There was a lot of noise in the conference room of the barracks.

Ten days ago, Nicole pointed out the shortcomings of the infantry array, and Victor began to ask her for advice, hoping to find a solution to the problem. However, Victor doesn't know the existing Lord's military system. Nicole also doesn't know what the big Legion is. She can't help Victor improve the strategic concept of the big Legion. She can only teach the military knowledge of York family to her lover. When Victor returned to Pinghu Town, he immediately convened the backbone of the War Bear mercenaries to hold a closed door meeting on the strategy of the large Legion.

The large Legion strategy and infantry square array were proposed by Victor and improved and implemented by war bear mercenaries. The War Bear mercenaries put a lot of effort into the infantry array. If Victor gave up the infantry array, it would be a denial of their efforts. The War Bear mercenaries could not accept such a result anyway.

Although the War Bear mercenaries were full of anger, they couldn't give constructive opinions. Victor sat at the head of the long conference table without saying a word, just watching coldly. Instructor Barrett coughed and said, "Mrs. Nicole is qualified to judge the quality of the infantry phalanx. She has participated in the ant Man Battle in Heibao town. Have you forgotten the army array arranged by the York family? The York family not only has an army array, but also has annihilated nearly 40000 ant men!"

The meeting hall was suddenly quiet. It was unknown whether the infantry array could destroy the ant army, but the York family's army wiped out more than 30000 ant people. War Bear mercenaries have nothing to say.

Victor looked around and said with a smile, "Nicole and I talked about the battle. When the York family wiped out the ant main force, Nelson and I stayed at Randall's lead. It's a pity that we didn't participate in the battle."

"Some of you have personally experienced the ant man annihilation war, some of you have not. Barrett, please tell me more about the process of the battle."

"Yes, my Lord." Barry nodded, recalled for a moment, and said: "in the windy season two years ago, the York family began to mobilize all the strength of Heibao town to fight the ant man to the death! In addition to the militia of the York family, all the men in Heibao town who have received military training should participate in the war, including us."

"If I remember correctly, the York family is responsible for the reorganization. Our commander is village head Bill..."

One eyed longgru took over and shouted, "yes, it's village head bill. The old guy is 61 years old, his hair is half white, and his body is stronger than me. He once worked in the tusk army and is a great old soldier. I will always remember him..."

Barrett glanced at Gru and continued: "In order to boost our morale, village head bill introduced the military strength of the York family to us. The York family and the NIM family sent out a Golden Knight, 13 grand knights, 42 knights, 364 trainee knights, 2900 soldiers of the tusk legion of the York family, 500 soldiers of the angry lion regiment of the NIM family, 3300 ordinary guards and 13700 militia of the York family. The church sent out two archbishops , 6 judges, 102 priests, more than 1500 paladins, and 6300 of our temporarily recruited militia. "

"A total of 420 knights, more than 1500 paladins, 102 priests, 6700 elite soldiers and 18000 militia."

"The month before the decisive battle, we started the drill. 18000 militia were divided into 72 combat teams, with 250 people in each team and 125 members of York family militia. They were wearing lock armor, carrying hard bow, shield and one handed halberd, and stood in the front row. Our militia wore Leather Armor, equipped with hard bow, equipped with 30 feather arrows and 4-meter spears. Village head bill and his 10 deputies were responsible for directing us."

"There are two kinds of elite soldiers. One is heavy infantry, wearing scale armor, holding shield and fine iron one handed halberd. There are 3100 heavy infantry, who fight together with knights."

"The other is the swordsman assault camp. They wear leather armor and hold a beheading sword. A total of 3600 people are divided into 18 battalions. Each battalion has 200 swordsmen, 20 shield paladins and 4 trainee knights. Each battalion has a Knight Commander." Barrett paused and said to victor, "Lord Bruce led a swordsman assault camp... Two of his four retinue Knights died."

Victor nodded silently. Bruce's squires and knights once killed the jackals side by side with the War Bear mercenaries. Their sacrifice is very sad.

"We can't attack with fire because we want to fight closely with the ant people. The decisive battle will be on a rainy day. The battlefield is located outside the moat of Heibao town. That day, we braved the heavy rain, arranged our formation and waited for work, waiting for the cavalry team of York family to lead the main force of the ant people in batches." Barrett continued: "the first batch of ant colonies were about 20000. These monsters stopped when they saw our army! They reorganized their ranks and waited for backup. We had to line up the army and advance slowly. The ant army began to charge when we saw us moving!" Speaking of this, Barrett said to victor, "Sir, can you believe it? Ant people are on the ground on all fours, and their charging speed is not inferior to that of war horses. In the face of the surging ant tide, we are not in panic, and the military array said to stop!"

"This is the case. There is no need to question it!" Victor's first jaw.

Barrett shook his head and sighed, "that's right, that's the truth. As soon as the trumpet of the York family sounded, the village head bill and his deputy immediately issued an order to let us draw a bow and arrow and wait for the next step. The priest blessed the knights, heavy infantry and paladins with magic, and the heavy soldiers and paladins also began to take the rage potion."

"When the vanguard of the ant man army was 800 meters away from us, 80 stone catapults had the chance to start first. More than 100 pounds of stone bullets hit the center of the ant tide, and many ant men were smashed into meat and mud, but these monsters didn't know what fear and pain were. They continued to charge. The catapult only hit two rounds, and the ant tide rushed into the range of the hard bow."

One eyed longgru interrupted, "hey hey, as soon as the horn sounded, village head bill ordered us to shoot arrows. I'll never forget the scene of more than 10000 militia shooting arrows at the same time. The arrows were more dense than raindrops. The ant people in the front row fell to the ground one after another, and were trampled to pieces by the same people in the back. The whole ground was green..."

"Shut up!" Barrett scolded Gru and said: "Sir, although the shooting order was given, due to the angle and position, many militia commanders did not let their men shoot arrows, and the ant man's loss was not as large as expected. The shell of these monsters was relatively strong, and they could continue to move as long as they were not hit. In fact, the ant man in the front row acted as a similar shield, even if they were not hit The whole body is full of arrows and can rush forward for a distance. "

"The shooting of catapults and bows and arrows can only be regarded as a warm-up. The real battle starts from the knight's charge."

"When the ant man was less than 200 meters away from the army, the Knights of York family led 3000 heavy infantry and 1000 paladins to charge. They formed a front arrow formation and cut obliquely into the ant tide like a hot knife cutting cream. The ant man army was torn open in an instant, and the green fog filled the place where the riders passed. I couldn't see the details at all, but the ant tide was quickly divided into front and back Two. "

"At this time, the ant men in the front array gave up the charge, and they turned back to fight back. The ant men in the back array hid forward and tried to drown the soldiers. It has to be said that the wisdom of the ant man leader should not be underestimated, but their opponents are the elite led by the knight, and the holy glory of the Supreme Lord shines on the soldiers. The fighting spirit of the knight and the light of the paladin complement each other The infantry killed the enemy bravely. They stubbornly blocked the ant man's counterattack. I found that the ant people in the rear array were falling into chaos group by group and began to kill each other. It must be the Golden Knight of the York family who killed the ant group leader. "

Barrett said in awe, "I can't see the figure of that adult, but his strength is fully revealed on the battlefield!"

Nelson clenched his fist and his eyes were crazy. He wanted to fight side by side with the Knights of York family with heavy armor and sharp axe. He galloped in the ant man army and was invincible. Iron and blood are the romance of soldiers. Victor has heard Nicole describe the process of fighting, but at this moment, he was still fascinated and excited. He couldn't help killing the silver ant for Sylvia It has nothing to do with status, gender or personal relationship. It is purely a longing for strength and courage.

Barrett took a breath and said, "we didn't expect the ant man front to stop charging, but the commander of the military array soon issued an order. The militia team moved forward steadily, and the swordsman camp added magic and took Berserker potions. They plunged into the ant tide like nails." Barrett was silent for a long time and said solemnly: "The light infantry of the swordsman camp are real warriors. They wield a 1.5-meter-long sword to kill the ant man, which is like destroying the withered and decadent. But the ant man monster is not afraid of life and death. The swordsman camp rushes forward quickly and suffers heavy casualties, but they always maintain high morale, move forward bravely and never shrink back. There are certainly reasons for magic and potions, but the most important thing is that their Lord and colleagues are being killed Surrounded by an army of ant people, they are in urgent need of support, so they give up their defense, pursue the maximum lethality and speed, hang the enemy at the cost of their lives and help their comrades in arms! "

"At this time, our militia teams also received the enemy." Barrett said: "each militia team is lined up in two rows, with shield halberds in front and spearmen in the back. We just have to save ant stingers under the cover of shield halberds.

Nelson frowned as like as two peas. "Is this the same as our spear?"

"Like! But different." Barrett thought for a moment and said, "the militia is divided into 72 teams. Each team has two rows. Each row has a commander. The commander in the back row obeys the commander in the front row, and there are 10 deputies under each commander. The most important thing is that everyone in the militia team is fighting, and the back row of the long spear array can hardly touch the enemy."

"The catapult continued to bombard the back of the ant man. The swordsman camp fought in the ant group, and the heavy infantry held the center line. Our militia team and the paladin attacked the front ant group. When we joined the paladin, more than 10000 ant men in the front were wiped out."

"The swordsman camp and the Paladin with the greatest casualties broke away from the battle and reorganized. Our militia team threw a hard bow at the ant colony behind the Knights and heavy infantry until the remaining arrows were used up. After the integration of the swordsman camp and the paladin, the high-ranking Knights of the York family began to attack the back array of the ant people. The swordsman camp and the paladin followed, followed by the heavy infantry, and our militia team The team is still in formation and moving forward. "

"When the scattered ant colony arrived at the battlefield, the main force of 20000 ant people had been lost. There was no suspense in the subsequent battles."

"In the whole battle, the swordsman camp and the paladin were the most seriously injured. Almost more than 1000 people died on the spot. Everyone was bleeding and wounded. Afterwards, I learned that the two sons of village head bill were also light swordsmen. They all died bravely." Barrett shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Victor nodded secretly. Instructor Barrett was thin and had average martial arts skills, but he was calm and sharp eyed. He had always been the combat commander of the War Bear mercenary regiment. Barrett's ability to observe the enemy and our situation on the chaotic battlefield shows that he has the basic quality of military commander.

Victor smiled and said, "Barrett, comment on this battle."

Barrett bowed, pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, this is my first time to participate in a large-scale battle. I can't understand many things. If you want to ask me how I feel, I can only use one word to describe the process of the battle, that is' fast '!"

"The whole battle gave full play to the power of knights and magic. The high-ranking Knights of York family broke into the enemy array. They could kill several ant people with each sword. They quickly opened a gap and let the heavy infantry and paladins divide the ant colony into two. The light swordsmen then launched an assault. They made it difficult for the ant people in front of them, and our militia team pushed forward layer by layer and collected them like wheat The life of the ant man. Everyone on the battlefield receives the enemy, and everyone is exerting their strength. Even my useless old fellow stabbed an ant man to death... "

"I stabbed three!" Cried Gru. Barrett glared at him and said, "the soldiers of the York family are determined and brave. In only a quarter of an hour, the front ant man was finished, and the main force of the ant colony was completely wiped out three quarters of an hour later."

Barrett lowered his eyelids and whispered, "Sir, the soldiers of the York family are not supervised. They don't have to worry about the knife behind them..."

Victor was silent for a moment and said faintly, "I know. Go on."

"Sir, I wonder how the commander of the York family coordinated the teams to fight? After the militia met the enemy, I couldn't even hear the horn of command." Barrett looked confused. Victor sighed and said, "that's why we have to be fast. Over time, they may lose."

"Why?" Asked Nelson blankly.

Victor said faintly, "because if you hit the back, there will be no command."

"How is this possible?! the whole battle was orderly." Barrett shouted in shock.

"It can't be said that there is no command. There is a cavalry reserve behind you." Victor smiled and said, "but who can command high-ranking knights?"

Nelson suddenly realized and shouted, "that's right! If adults take part in the war themselves, who is qualified to command adults!"

Victor smiled and said, "the York family adopts wolf tactics, which is also the military thought pursued by the Lords."

"The knight is the wolf king and is responsible for tearing a hole in the enemy. The heavy infantry is the iron guard of the wolf king, responsible for protecting the wolf king and dividing the enemy array. The swordsman assault camp is the backbone of the wolf group and responsible for disintegrating the enemy's resistance. The militia team is the most common member of the wolf group, responsible for destroying the remaining enemies and supporting the assault camp. As for the mercenary regiment..."

Nelson and Barrett looked at each other and laughed, "we are wolves."

Victor nodded and continued: "wolves cooperate in hunting, which is instinctive and does not need command. In order to do this, the army of the Lord family often practices different tactical cooperation for different opponents, against goblins, against jackals, against ogres, against centaurs, and against hostile families."

"In the ant Man Battle in Heibao Town, the York family completely refers to the tactics against the Centaurs. Lure the enemy deep, lean against the castle, fight fast, annihilate the enemy after fighting, and return to the castle if you can't fight. However, due to racial differences and logistical supply constraints, our human army will not easily carry out large-scale field war with the Centaurs..." said Victor: "Barrett, I'll give you 40000 soldiers to form our infantry square. Can you win 40000 ant people?"

Barrett thought for a moment, stood up and said, "my Lord, I can't win."

"First of all, the larger the infantry array, the more bloated it is, and the movement speed is slow. There is no way to cooperate with the Knights and paladins. Without the protection of the knights, the ant leaders can easily tear up the infantry array, and the soldiers don't even have a chance to return to the castle."

"Secondly, the infantry phalanx does not pay attention to personal force, and the effects of magic and rage potions are minimized. The Longbowman can destroy up to 10000 ant men, and the shield soldiers and spearmen must meet the enemy. When the ant men attack the shield array, their bodies will be hung on the spear. The spearmen in the front row can't lift the 7-meter spear at all, while the spearmen in the back row are almost a decoration, and the ant men step on the bodies of the same kind directly The spearmen and longbowmen in the back row have no ability of close combat, and the dense formation makes them unable to dodge. "

"This will be an upside down massacre!"

Barrett said respectfully. "My Lord, I always think that the large square array has no practical value, and the small square array meets our needs."

"You're right." Victor shook his head and sighed in his heart: This is not the earth after all.

"Can you command more than 100 teams to fight together at the same time?"

"How is this possible? Although I don't have much insight, I don't think anyone can do it!"

"Therefore, wolf pack tactics test members' fighting will and tactical cooperation. It is impossible to do this by training alone!" Victor knocked on the table and said slowly, "the fundamental reason is the squire system!"

"Or the adopted son system!"
