Chapter 37 Iron Wall Spear Array

Bailiff's legion has a special feature. Since it is called the "Iron Wall Legion", its tactical and tactical form focuses on defense. This can be seen from the structure of the army - there are no cavalry in the "Iron Wall Legion"

To be precise, there are no heavy cavalry that can arrange cavalry phalanxes.

It’s not that he doesn’t want it, but that he really has no money. Although anyone knows what a heavy cavalry unit means to the army of this era, it is not so easy to equip a heavy cavalry. Just maintaining the manufacturing and daily maintenance of expensive weapons and equipment is a huge expense. Not to mention purchasing and raising war horses that are expensive in the Principal of Bernardo itself, every heavy cavalry cannot go to the battlefield with only one war horse, and not equipped with two or three war horses.

You don’t think about how heavy cavalry can perform on the battlefield. This is very simple. It is to raise enough horses and charge a few more times on the battlefield. Think about it, if each heavy cavalry only has one war horse, let alone go to the battlefield, just carrying an adult man and the weapons and equipment weighing hundreds of kilograms, even if you arrive at the battlefield, the war horse will fall down directly. At that time, the cavalry that lost the war horse can only be used as infantry, and it is not as easy as the original infantry...

To form a heavy cavalry of fifty people, it would be necessary to raise about a hundred war horses. To be honest, war horses are more expensive than humans. The feed, stables, and training grounds are all exquisite things. The young master's meager territory income is absolutely unsupported. To put it bluntly, he is a poor man in the Bernardo noble circle. If it were others, he might try his best to exploit the resources in his territory that were not many resources to equip a heavy cavalry, or give up the idea of ​​establishing outstanding achievements on the battlefield. But Belif did not do so. Instead, he found a different approach to find a solution to ordinary infantry.

The young Jue firmly believes that people will not be suffocated to death. The simple, effective, and strong defensive formation is the answer he got. Since he cannot make a key breakthrough in attack, he will do his best to defend himself. One-third of the Iron Wall Legion is heavy infantry, while the remaining two-thirds are light infantry with stronger mobile xins and flexible conversion of the battlefield. The unique among the equipment of these infantry is the spear - the standard spear of the Iron Wall Legion is not the same length.

Two-meter spear, four-meter spear, and six-meter spear, unlike other legions, the spear formation of the Iron Wall Legion is composed of these spears of varying lengths. Divided by the length of the spear, the Iron Wall Legion's battle formation is generally arranged in three rows when fighting. Facing the fierce charge of the enemy, the first row of the military formation is the few heavy infantry in the military formation. They are wearing strong armor, holding huge square shields and two-meter spears, and they are as stable as Mount Tai. They are directly facing the front of the enemy's attack, and are indestructible steel walls; while the soldiers in the second row only provide careful protection in the upper demigod, holding slightly larger square shields and four-meter spears. When fighting, they will lift the square shields.

The top of the heads of soldiers in front and behind, the spear's spear ended on the ground and pointed at the sky at a 50-degree angle to the ground, and a row of spear defense lines were erected. The purpose of this was to prevent a few lucky enemies from jumping into the battle formation through the first row of arrays. The hard square shields could protect the soldiers in front and rear from being attacked by long-range strikes from the air. Even if the opponent's bow and arrow were parabolic bypassing the square shield array in front, it could not pose any threat to the soldiers in the rear; the soldiers holding six-meter spears were left with basic protection, so they did so because there was basically no chance to face the enemy head-on in the rear of the battle formation, and they were ā great strength.

It is better to use these precious equipment to strengthen the protection of the first two rows of soldiers. Secondly, the heavy armor will affect their movements and will give them great strength to fight a battle - they are the key to this battle formation to defeat the enemy, the six-meter spear has far exceeded the scope of ordinary weapons. The soldiers cannot move flexibly with such a long weapon. When fighting, they will put the spear down and put it on the shoulders of the comrades in the front two rows, and the tail of the spear is carried on their own shoulders... No, their role is not the same as the heavy infantry in the first row. Their counterattack power is the only attacking force in this defensive formation. They will be in combat.

The spears are shaking irregularly up and down, left and right. When they shake vigorously, the six-meter spear will stir or sprint in front of the battle formation. Their function is to shoot down the enemy in front of the horse or simply take the initiative to kill. In the battle formation, they are the only combat units that can kill the enemy without facing the enemy's attack but can kill the enemy at will. The six-meter spear can exert incredible lethality under the action of the leverage principle. When the enemy who charges the first bo is blocked by the first line, the six-meter spear formation becomes a terrifying and powerful crimping machine. The entire battle formation looks extremely ugly but hideous and terrifying. Any cavalry will experience the feeling of falling into a sand in front of such a battle formation.

Marcato is facing such a twister now...

The wolf cavalry gave up the pursuit of Bernardo's defeated soldiers, and as they ran, a constant stream of flowing through the left side of the iron wall legion like a sea urchin hedgehog or a áá worm. Even the brave and warlike wolf cavalry did not dare to rashly try the power of the hideous spear formation. In front of this spear formation, even the vast majority of heavy cavalry were helpless, let alone the light cavalry that was life-threatening? Once they rushed into such a spear formation, the light cavalry that had no protection would become the bait for the six-meter spear that was constantly stirring. This did not require a high IQ to see.

Bailiff's iron wall spear formation is a headache. All the wolf cavalry don't want to face such a hedgehog-like enemy. This thing has nowhere to go, but today is different. Marcato and the wolf cavalry of the Ziyin Tribe are prepared this time...

"Don't let them get close to shooting arrows"

The enemy did not give up as decisively as expected, which made Bailiff a little scared. The wolf cavalry that appeared was different from the dozen wolves before, but there was something different for a while but it was impossible to distinguish - the grassland wind wolf with the same silver light flowing, the same dilapidated light leather armor, and the same long sword with the same cold light, but it felt like there was something different from the wolf cavalry I had seen in the past...

"Xianwu~~"

"Xianwu~~"

Behind the battle formation, a few archers opened their bows and arrows, and rows of black feathered arrows drew graceful arcs in the sky towards the wolf cavalry in the running. At such a distance, although ordinary longbows could not cause any substantial damage to heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, they were more than enough to deal with light cavalry that had basically no defense.

If it were in the past, the wolf cavalry would either charge forward with pressure and become victims of the spear formation under such an attack, or use their speed advantage to evacuate the distance to avoid the rain of arrows. Generally, they chose the latter, so the archers of the Iron Wall Legion adjusted the angle of the strike in an orderly manner under the command of experienced officers. The first arrow rain had not yet landed, and the second arrow rain came out towards the farther landing point. The staging extended strike was to block the enemy's evasion route.

However, this time they miscalculated. The wolf cavalry in the Mercedes did not retreat to avoid the rain of arrows in the sky, and still maintained their original speed and ran on the original route. Unlike the past, they raised their left arms and blocked the direction facing the Iron Wall Legion...

"Buzz~~"

A low yin, as if a helpless sigh, the inconspicuous small hand cards worn by all the wolf cavalrymen suddenly burst out with a ball of unbright light, and a dark blue circular light curtain was unfolded.

The light curtain was like the water flowing with bolus. Although it could not cover the entire body of the wolf cavalry, it was a little larger than an ordinary large round shield, which was enough to block the wolf cavalry riding on the grassland wind wolf behind him. The black feather arrow fell on the blue light curtain. The bolus was bounced slightly and the wolf cavalry's body and even their arms were shaken.

Bailiff's heart skipped a beat and knew that something was wrong. Orc warriors could not use magic and guidance equipment except for their own talents. It was well known that everything in front of him completely subverted his previous knowledge.

That inconspicuous little hand card actually is a kind of guide shield, and it looks lighter, more stable, and more wider than the guide shield that the Jamins Empire is developing and testing now. What's important is that the orcs can use this guide shield effortlessly.

When the orcs can use guided weapons, the winning and losing scale has already begun to tilt. Unfortunately, the tilt direction is not on the human side...

As expected, after the first bo attack of the archer was bounced away, the second bo attack and the third bo attack fell on the vast open space without any danger. A large area of ​​blank space appeared between the two teams, and the wolf cavalry did not miss this opportunity. They roared and rushed, drawing a gentle arc in this blank space and approached the spear formation of the Iron Wall Legion.

"Are they crazy?"

Marcos shouted in surprise and shouted his heart on behalf of others. In everyone's eyes, these wolf cavalry were like stretching out their throats to the sickle of the god of death.

"Guiding Warlock Defense Shield"

But Belif had already smelled the danger. He could no longer maintain his calm expression and issued his orders loudly among the noisy soldiers.

But it seemed too late. The wolf cavalry near the edge of the spear formation did not crash into the hideous romance head-on, but flew quickly like a whirlwind against the edge of the battle formation. In the inexplicable sight of everyone, the fist-sized thing, like a crystal ball, passed the spear into the forest and flew over the dense crowd behind the spear...

"Boom"

"Boom boom boom"

At this moment, the unbreakable myth of the "Iron Wall Legion" has always become history
