"General, look, does that rainbow light look like a rainbow bridge?"

After entering Luqiao Town, as the distance continued to get closer, the werewolf warriors finally saw the true face of the colorful rainbow light.

In fact, there is no need for subordinates to remind me that Lang Wubian has discovered that the situation is wrong.

When the distance was relatively far, they just vaguely saw a large area of ​​colorful light on the lake, and they didn't even think about the bridge.

Because if that colorful light was a bridge connecting the two sides of the straits, then it would not be them attacking Luqiao Town now, but the enemy began to attack them after crossing the river on a large scale.

However, as the distance gets closer, the outline of the Colorful Bridge becomes clearer.

The Colorful Bridge itself was blurry when it was just generated. It only began to gradually show the outline of the bridge over time.

Now twenty-four hours before the formation of the Colorful Bridge is getting closer and closer, so when Lang Wubing and others narrowed the distance from the Colorful Bridge, they immediately discovered that the situation was not good.

Although I have never seen a bridge built with a rainbow, Wolf Wubing knows that there are many magical things in this world that he has never seen before, and those things often have incredible magical abilities.

It was discovered that there was no people passing through the Colorful Bridge at this time. Combined with the previous behavior of Bian Jun and others defending Luqiao Town, Lang Wubing immediately realized that the Colorful Bridge in the distance should not have been completely formed.

The enemy tried their best to stop them from entering Luqiao Town, which was actually delaying the complete formation of the Colorful Bridge, because when the Colorful Bridge was not fully formed, it was impossible to pass on the bridge.

After thinking of this, Lang Wubing immediately realized that there was probably not much time left for him, because he had a strange feeling that the Colorful Bridge in the distance seemed to be growing constantly. Every few minutes, the bridge body would become clearer than before.

Realizing that when the main body of the bridge becomes completely clear, it is likely that when the Colorful Bridge is completely formed, Lang Wubing immediately shouted: "Transfer our military orders and the entire army will speed up immediately. Be sure to reach the target position within half an hour."

Knowing that there is probably not much time left for us, Lang Wubian no longer cares about saving the physical strength of the werewolf soldiers, and directly ordered the troops to start moving forward at full speed.

After receiving the order from Lang Wujian, the werewolf vanguard army immediately increased its speed to the fastest and ran straight to the end of the Colorful Bridge located on the east bank of Dushan Lake.

The Northern Expedition Alliance focused the yang and yin trees of the Yin-Yang Rainbow Tree in Pengzhuang Village and Nandianzi Village respectively.

Pengzhuang Village is located to the southwest of Liangcheng Town, next to Dushan Lake, and the Colorful Bridge is located at the east end, just west of Pengzhuang Village.

Seeing that Pengzhuang Village was already far away, Lang Wubing and others could clearly see the Colorful Bridge and the Yangshu located west of Pengzhuang Village.

After seeing the Colorful Rainbow Bridge that was about to be formed and the huge sun tree as the bridge pier, Lang Wujian's eyes were incredible.

While sighing at the magic of nature, he quickly ran towards the place where the sun tree was.

However, after just now, Lang Wubing and others had to stop.

At this time, a fully armed human legion was lined up two hundred meters away from Lang Wubing and others, as if waiting for them.

After seeing the human legion in front of him, Lang Wubian's eyes were filled with solemnity.

This human legion is very different from other human legions of the Northern Expedition coalition that Lang Wubian had seen. Whether it is weapons, equipment or mental outlook, the human legion in front of him is obviously better.

If this is the case, then the battle-hardened wolf Wuyan cannot be scared. What really makes wolf Wuyan feel afraid of is the weapons in the hands of those human soldiers. He has never seen such a long weapon.

This human legion that blocked Lang Wubing and others was the Macedonian legion under Sun Junyi.

At this moment, ten thousand highly trained human soldiers were lined up the Macedonian phalanx that once made the enemy scared. They pointed their sharp spears at Lang Wubing and others, forcing them to stop.

The traditional Macedonian phalanx consists of standing soldiers (spikes), light infantry, cavalry and auxiliary soldiers.

The number of permanent soldiers was large, carrying 18-foot long (5-meter-5) Macedonian spears and 2-foot-diameter round shields.

The soldiers in the array hung their necks with ropes and hung their shields on the left side of their bodies, thus freeing their hands.

Macedonian spears are operated with both hands, with the spear rods made of hard mountain rayon wood, and the spear heads are mostly made of metal.

There is a counterweight at the end of the spear for balance and also serves as a backup weapon when the spear is broken.

After the soldiers in the front row of the square fell, the soldiers originally located in the second row would quickly fill in the gap they left behind.

The soldiers in the first row usually squatted and aimed their spears ahead, while the soldiers in the second row put their spears on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, which can enhance the lethality of the cavalry head-on.

The essence of the entire phalanx tactics is that all soldiers work together and advance together, and those who escape at the battle will be punished the most severely.

Most light infantrymen hold swords, shields, or javelins and shields. Their mission is to protect the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx.

The cavalry of the Macedonian phalanx belonged to heavy cavalry, and their weapons were a Macedonian spear, a round shield and a long sword.

During combat, these heavy cavalry often put their spears on their shoulders, and the spear head slightly downwards. When charging, the spears stabbed downwards.

After stabbing the first enemy, the knights often leave the spears in the enemy's body and no longer pull them out. They will draw out their swords to continue fighting, and then find the spears after the battle is over.

Most of the auxiliary soldiers are long-range troops, carrying bows or javelins, and are responsible for long-range attacks.

The Macedonian phalanx is different from the ancient Greek heavy infantry phalanx in the past. It is an attack-type phalanx.

When attacking the enemy, soldiers holding spears will run forward in a strong and dense formation, just like a siege hammer violently hitting the enemy's team.

The first five spear guns in the formation were directly confronted with the enemy in the early battles, and countless spears collided with each other, forming a wall of spears, attacking the enemy like a harpoon, and rebounding the enemy's attack back vigorously like a mane.

The enemy who faces the Macedonian phalanx will always be under the attack of more than a dozen spear tips. The enemy soldiers who are targets are simply "supply in short supply" for those spear tips.

If the enemy is not brave enough, then just seeing those dense spear tips, they may have lost the courage to confront the Macedonian phalanx head-on.

The essence of the Macedonian phalanx is to advance, advance, and continue to advance until the enemy ahead is completely defeated.

Due to the entire advancement process, the soldiers who form the shield array must always maintain a whole operation. If one person does not keep up with the collective rhythm or wants to escape in the face of the battle, the operation of the entire square array will be greatly affected.

Therefore, this square array has extremely high requirements for the courage, physical strength and discipline of the soldiers who set up the formation. The soldiers who set up the formation must undergo a long period of rigorous training.

The biggest advantage of the Macedonian phalanx is that it has high maneuverability and can rush towards the enemy with a complete horizontal lineup, giving a heavier blow to enemies who have not recovered from cavalry attacks.

Especially against those infantrymen who fought like swarms of war, the Macedonian phalanx with strict formations could easily defeat them, no matter how big their number was.

At that time, Alexander the Great defeated the more with the Macedonian phalanx, defeated the 200,000 army of the Persian Empire with 40,000 people, killed Darius III, the monarch of the Persian Empire, and destroyed the entire Persian Empire, thus embarking on the famous Eastern Expedition.

Of course, no formation is invincible, and the Macedonian phalanx also has obvious flaws.

Since the infantrymen who set up the formation held huge spears of five meters and five meters in both hands, the Macedonian phalanx is most afraid of being penetrated into the inside of the phalanx by the enemy with swords.

Once the first array of spear-holders are defeated and are broken into the square formation by the enemy with swords, disaster will come, and all the spear-holders who face the enemy will die.

The auxiliary weapon dagger is just like the spears in the hands of soldiers that are stupid, and the daggers are ridiculously short and can hardly provide any security for Macedonian soldiers. The spear-holding soldiers themselves cannot turn around to resist the enemy that has attacked.

So as long as the enemy is attacked into the inside of the square, what awaits them will be a complete killing, just like they have the advantage to massacre the enemy.

In addition, the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx are also a fatal weakness.

Once the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx are broken by the enemy, since the entire phalanx cannot flexibly turn, the outcome of the spear-holding soldiers in the phalanx will be even more miserable than being broken from the front.

Therefore, those light infantry holding shields and auxiliary soldiers responsible for long-range attacks almost never leave both sides of the square array. They follow the square array and always guard the safety of both sides of the square array.

Another thing is that the Macedonian phalanx has relatively high requirements for terrain. If the terrain on the battlefield is unstable, the power of the Macedonian phalanx will not only be greatly affected, but may even reveal fatal flaws due to the terrain.

Therefore, when using the Macedonian square, it is best to select the terrain in a flat plain area.

In addition, although the lethality of the Macedonian phalanx seems extremely terrifying, the phalanx is actually just a siege hammer used to defeat the enemy. The ones who are truly responsible for killing the enemy's living power are the Macedonian cavalry, who are the swords that bleed the enemy.

When fighting against the Macedonian phalanx, you must have a force that can confront the Macedonian cavalry. Otherwise, once the infantry phalanx is defeated by the Macedonian phalanx, you will be welcomed to receive the ruthless harvest of the Macedonian cavalry.

The Macedonian phalanx was invincible at the beginning, but when people studied it thoroughly, its defeat was also produced.

In history, during the Second Macedonian War, the Romans took advantage of the relatively slow turn of the Macedonian phalanx, bypassing the dense phalanx front and going to the flank of the phalanx.

When the Romans held a dagger and the big shield defeated the light infantry on the flank of the guardian phalanx, how could the soldiers holding a 21-foot spear be the opponent of the Romans with dagger and the big shield?

At this time, it was one inch shorter and one inch more dangerous. The Macedonians who were crowded together could not even wield their spears.

Besides the first row, the Macedonian soldiers in the back row did not have heavy armor or shields, so they could only watch the Romans inserted the dagger into their bodies.

When the invincible myth of the Macedonian phalanx was broken by the Romans, in the following years, this square with extremely high requirements and distinct advantages and disadvantages rarely appeared in people's sight.

There were many people who wanted to improve the Macedonian phalanx and revive their former glory.

However, after revising it, people found that the disadvantages of the square array were indeed gone, but the advantages of the square array were also gone by them. The Macedonian square array, which was originally used for attack, was modified by them to become a slow-moving iron hedgehog.

Or maybe the mobility is still there, but the aggressiveness is obviously insufficient.

When they found that they could not overcome those shortcomings while retaining the advantages of the Macedonian phalanx, many people had no choice but to give up.

Unlike those who gave up halfway, Sun Junyi has a stubborn personality. He always never looks back when he hits the south wall. He must find a way to knock the south wall.

When people all chose to give up, Sun Junyi was unique and castrated the heavy cavalry with the most lethality in the Macedonian phalanx, completely turning the entire Macedonian phalanx into a pure infantry phalanx.

The biggest weakness of the Macedonian phalanx is the fear of being penetrated by the enemy. Under normal circumstances, the enemy rarely breaks through the Macedonian phalanx from the front, and most of them choose to break through from the side.

The light infantry in the legion was responsible for protecting the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx. In order to strengthen the flank safety of the Macedonian phalanx, Sun Junyi worked hard on these light infantry.

The light infantry equipment responsible for protecting the flanks of the phalanx is shields, javelins or daggers. When they are attacked by the enemy, their pressure will be very huge and the casualties will be very fast.

If they want to keep the flanks of the square, they must find ways to improve their combat effectiveness and battlefield survival ability.

Only when they hold on can they win enough time for the entire square to turn around.

After understanding this, Sun Junyi worked hard on combat effectiveness and battlefield survival ability.

If ordinary human soldiers want to be competent for this task, they must equip them with heavy armor, but after arming them into heavy armor infantry, they cannot keep up with the speed of the entire square formation, so Sun Junyi set his sights on other races.

The dwarves have good combat power and their battlefield survivability is OK, but they are too short. Even if the enemy cannot break through their defense, they can still use long-range attacks to shoot soldiers in the square formation, so the dwarves cannot.

The orcs are very consistent in all aspects, but their battlefield discipline is too poor. Once they are killed, they are likely to abandon the phalanx and rush out first, so they are not suitable for this type of protection task.

The elves...either can.

The Death Clan...either can.

The blood clan...either can.
