The first thousand one hundred and twenty-eight chapters, the size of the formation to meet the enemy
The demons have inherently strong scale armor. The scale armor on them has better protection than the armor of many light infantry, especially the protection of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows is no less than that of heavy-armored infantry.
The protective infantry on both wings of the Macedonian phalanx are often hit by the enemy's long-range firepower. Many soldiers are injured and killed in the dense rain of arrows. If these protective infantry are replaced with demon warriors, the enemy's long-range firepower may be greatly reduced.
In addition to being able to better defend against ranged attacks, the demon clan also has three very perverted racial talents: powerful body, air-forbidden domain and evil sharp corners.
A strong body can ensure that the warriors of the demon clan are not affected by those minor injuries and always maintain strong combat effectiveness.
The forbidden airfield can prevent the enemy from sneaking into the Macedonian phalanx from the air, allowing the soldiers who set up the formation to concentrate on dealing with the enemies in front of them.
Evil sharp corners can further weaken those enemies who attempt to attack the phalanx from the flanks, and ensure that the phalanx flanks will not be lost.
No matter how you look at it, the demon clan is a perfect ground army. Whether it is organizational, disciplined, or combat effectiveness, they are the best candidates for infantry guarding the formation.
No, they are not only the best candidates for the infantry guarding the formation, but also the best candidates for the Macedonian phalanx. If the human soldiers who set up the formation were replaced with demon warriors, the power of the Macedonian phalanx would be further improved.
After analyzing that the demon clan is the most suitable race to form the Macedonian phalanx, Sun Junyi directly handed over the plan he had thought of to Lu Chenguang.
In the initial plan he submitted to Lu Chenguang, whether it was the phalanx soldiers, the protective infantry, or the Wang Pei cavalry used to attack the enemy's formation, they all chose the demon warriors without exception.
He asked Lu Chenguang to provide him with enough demon warriors and some demon tribes' special mounts of hell war horses, and he wanted to use the demon tribe to form an invincible Macedonian legion.
Sun Junyi's idea was good and very correct, but after Lu Chenguang saw the plan he submitted, he directly sent a message to him to give up the demon clan.
At the same time, Lu Chenguang also clearly designated the races that can be used for him: human, dwarf, elves or orcs.
There was no demon clan in the entire Huaxia area until the Great Earth era (no one knew about Ning Yuan that time), only Daniels and his group later occupied the nest.
After coming to China, Daniels directly drove away the Demon Guild entrenched in the Sichuan Basin and established a powerful demon empire.
Not to mention the powerful demon warrior, it is very difficult to secretly rob some women and children of the demon clan from Daniels's nose, so Sun Junyi's request is simply a tough one.
Although Sun Junyi repeatedly expressed that he was not in a hurry and could wait slowly, Sun Junyi could not wait, but Lu Chenguang could not.
So under Lu Chenguang's repeated urging, Sun Junyi could only castrate the perfect Macedonian square he had developed to a certain extent.
The Sun and Moon God Sect lacked the war horses to form heavy cavalry, so Sun Junyi directly castrated the King's Cavalry, which had the greatest lethality in the Macedonian phalanx.
Without enough demon warriors, Sun Junyi settled for the second best and directly chose a branch of the human race - the Blood Clan.
There were no demon warriors at first, and Sun Junyi wanted to select some strong tiger players to form the Macedonian phalanx, but after less than half a month of training for tiger players, he had to give up.
The Macedonian phalanx has extremely high requirements for the coordination and cooperation of soldiers, and it is very hard to train. It is okay for players to persist for one or two days, but how can they bear it after a long time?
Sun Junyi is famous for being a stubborn person and never stops until he achieves his goal. He has always treated the indigenous people and the players equally.
When the tiger players were lazy, Sun Junyi directly killed the chicken to warn the monkey in order to strictly enforce military discipline, and beat the lazy tiger players in front of everyone.
Due to Sun Junyi's identity, the beatings of tiger players did not resist immediately. They silently remembered this hatred in their hearts.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and players to take revenge from morning to night.
Sun Junyi had just finished punishing the tiger players during the day, but at night, the yard where he lived was attacked by a group of masked tiger players.
After knocking Sun Junyi out of his indigenous guards, the tiger players beat Sun Junyi directly. How could Sun Junyi be beaten up during the day? They returned it to Sun Junyi intact.
As an ordinary human race, how could Sun Junyi's physical fitness be comparable to those tiger warriors with thick skin?
This beating beaten Sun Junyi to death, and he lie in bed for more than a month before getting out of bed.
Although everyone knows who retaliated against Sun Junyi, they can't provide any evidence at all when catching the thief and catching the robber in the bed.
In addition, the number of masked people attacking Sun Junyi is obviously more than the tiger players who were punished by Sun Junyi during the day. They can't punish all tiger players!
You should know that it is very difficult for players to go to the Tiger Man race at random. Tiger Man players are like treasures in every force. Usually, the presidents of major forces are too late to spoil them, so how could they be willing to break up with it?
So with Lu Chenguang's personal intervention, the matter ended up in the end.
Sun Junyi, who had been lying in bed for a month, also figured out one thing through the past month's thinking, that is, players can become infantry guarding the formation and cavalry, but they will definitely not become soldiers in the phalanx because they can't endure that kind of suffering.
After understanding the key, Sun Junyi focused on the selection of indigenous soldiers.
The ordinary human soldier Sun Junyi looked down on him. The barbarian warrior he liked was unique to the Condor Empire in the entire Huaxia area, so he could only settle for the second best and chose the vampire warrior who was slightly stronger than ordinary humans.
The vampire warriors have the racial talent that is bloodthirsty and desire. Fresh blood can stimulate the mysterious power hidden in the vampire body. When you smell the breath of blood, the vampire people's agility, endurance and spiritual attributes are added.
Although there is no direct improvement in the main attribute's force, the three attributes of sensitivity, endurance and spirit are also of great help to combat.
In addition, the Macedonian phalanx is an offensive phalanx. Wherever the entire phalanx goes, there will definitely be corpses everywhere and blood flows into a river. Therefore, using the blood clan warriors to set up the formation, their bloodthirsty and desire talents will be able to be quickly opened and will continue until the end of the battle.
Although the blood clan warriors have the talent of bloodthirsty and can keep opening up during the battle, they are still not as good as the demons and barbarians, and still cannot completely satisfy Sun Junyi.
Because the blood clan is still a branch of the human race, they only have some special abilities than ordinary humans, but their bodies still belong to humans. Like ordinary human bodies, they are very fragile.
Therefore, even if the Macedonian phalanx composed of vampire warriors has stronger attack power, they have inherited all the weaknesses of the Macedonian phalanx.
They are still afraid that the enemy will enter the phalanx, afraid that the enemy will attack the phalanx from the flanks, and afraid that the enemy will use dense ranged attacks.
So in addition to rigorous military training for the vampire warriors, Sun Junyi spent almost all his time on the protection and improvement of the other party's formation.
In order to enable the vampire warriors in the phalanx to resist the enemy's long-range attacks, Sun Junyi not only equipped the soldiers with shields dedicated to the Macedonian phalanx, but also personally developed a set of lightweight half-body fish scale armor.
This set of half-body fish scale armor was developed based on the solid scale armor on the body of the demon warrior. The raw materials used were all from the scales on the body of the demon clan.
Speaking of the scales on these demons, Sun Junyi also has to thank someone, who is Ning Yuan.
If Ning Yuan hadn't thrown a large number of demon warrior corpses into the Wei River and those demon corpses drifted downstream to the Yellow River, Sun Junyi would have no place to get real demon scales.
With the half-body fish scale armor made of demon scales, the vampire warriors wearing helmets no longer have to worry about being killed or killed by the enemy's long-range attack.
After solving the threat of long-range attacks, the defense issues of the two wings of the array are left.
Sun Junyi continuously used the dwarfs, elves and orcs to conduct actual combat drills, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
The problems before are: the dwarves are too short, and it is difficult for the elves to withstand the impact of the enemy, and the orcs are prone to getting on.
In desperation, Sun Junyi once again focused his attention on the orc player.
However, because he had been unhappy with many powerful orc players before, many orc players were unwilling to join his Macedonian Legion, even if Lu Chenguang came forward to mediate himself, he could not achieve much results.
Sun Junyi is a person who pursues perfection. He wants to choose orc players to form a formation protection legion, which is a temporary solution.
After the players refused, Sun Junyi's temper also rose. He directly refused Lu Chenguang's further mediation and directly selected the troops of the Array Protection Legion as the player's demon warrior.
Sun Junyi clearly told Lu Chenguang that after castrating Wang Ban's cavalry, the existence of the formation protection legion is very important, and they will directly affect the life and death of the entire square formation and the final result of the war.
So he would rather have nothing than be too much, and would rather wait for Lu Chenguang to slowly help him accumulate players' demon warriors than use soldiers from other races to form a protective formation legion.
Facing Sun Junyi's stubbornness, Lu Chenguang was soon defeated, so he could only recruit players from the demon clan to accumulate soldiers for Sun Junyi's formation protection legion.
Due to the lack of enough demon warriors, Sun Junyi's Macedonian Legion has not yet been truly trained.
This time they appeared in Pengzhuang Village on the east bank of Dushan Lake mainly because their mission is defense rather than offense.
Although the Macedonian phalanx is an offensive phalanx, in terms of defense ability, they are actually not worse than ordinary needle-punch jungle formations.
Because the Macedonian spear, which is five meters and five meters, is already very scary just looking.
Facing the dense Macedonian spear, how courage does it take to rush forward?
During the attack, the two wings of the Macedonian phalanx are the biggest weakness of the entire phalanx, but if you only defend on the spot, this weakness is still easy to overcome, because they have enough time to arrange a airtight line of defense.
This time, when he came to guard the Colorful Bridge, Sun Junyi prepared two square formations for the enemy, one large formation and the other small formation.
The formation is specially designed to defend, and all the orders received by the vampire warriors remained in place and stood firm.
The vampire warriors used a Macedonian spear of 5.5 meters to set up a huge square with thorns on all sides, blocking the enemy's way forward.
If the enemy wants to destroy the Colorful Bridge, they must break through the defense of this formation from the front, otherwise they will have to choose to detour.
If the enemy chooses to detour, they will encounter other Northern Expedition coalition forces.
In those places, the Northern Expedition Alliance has built a tighter line of defense by relying on Pengzhuang Village, and it is difficult for the enemy to break through that line of defense in a short period of time.
So when the enemy finds that other places are more difficult to pass, they will immediately return to Sun Junyi's side, because only Sun Junyi's place can be broken through in a short period of time.
Of course, there is only the possibility of being broken through. As for whether the enemy can really break through the past, it depends on whether they can break through the dense blockade of the Macedonian spear.
Although the large formation arranged by Sun Junyi is mainly defense, since the entire square formation is still in place, there is a large open space in the middle.
Therefore, this formation actually has certain attack capabilities, because Sun Junyi placed the auxiliary soldiers who were specifically responsible for long-range attacks on the open space in the center of the formation.
At this moment, there are five hundred elves holding longbows in the center of the formation. There are bundles of arrows placed under their feet. They will launch long-range strikes on the enemy as they approach the formation.
On the left side of the formation is a small camp made of wood. On the top of the camp are densely packed with elves archers. The small array arranged by Sun Junyi is hidden in this small camp.
The entire formation is composed of 1,024 blood clan warriors. These 1,024 people are all the most elite blood clan warriors. They have the longest training time and are the most proficient in mastering the formation.
On both sides of the vampire warriors were three hundred sharp-horned demon warriors standing.
