Chapter 279: Invincible phalanx

Faced with the impact of the cavalry, the infantry legion on the opposite side actually raised the spear in his hand.

Well, although their spears are a bit long, they are more than one meter long.

But they wouldn't naively think that they could withstand the impact of cavalry with just a spear, right?

You should know that the power of the cavalry to impact with their speed is very terrifying.

They could easily swing the infantry's spears and then break the bones and tendons that hit the infantry.

The next moment, the cavalry used the weapons in their hands to block the infantry's spear.

But what shocked them was that they could not open it. It was really evil!

The first row of cavalry was pierced by dense spears without exception and was dismissed one after another.

This time, hundreds of cavalry were damaged and broken, and it still happened before they could touch the opponent.

However, Bian Zhang and Han Sui felt that although they had lost so many cavalry, the good days for infantry were over.

Although they used the power of a spear to stab the front row of cavalry to death, the force of the cavalry to attack was too terrifying, and they would definitely knock down the first row of infantry holding spears.

And it can use this to disrupt the infantry formation!

As long as this goal can be achieved, it will be worth it even if they lose some cavalry.

Because as long as their formation is chaotic, the cavalry can drive straight in, and the dense infantry is a living target for them.

But the next moment, Bian Zhang and Han Sui stared at the boss!

Because the next scene completely subverted their imagination.

The situation they imagined did not happen. The first row of soldiers holding spears in the infantry formation did not move at all under the violent impact of the cavalry?

I'm going to be a Maya! Is this possible?

The next moment, they realized that the two rows of infantry behind were carrying the first row of soldiers tightly with their bodies.

The force of the war horses' impact was resisted by several rows of soldiers.

The formation of infantry was not dispersed, but the attack of the cavalry was blocked by the first row of war horses and fell into a slight panic.

At this time, the infantry's spear was still stabbed into the cavalry's corpse.

It takes a little time to draw such a long gun.

And those cavalry will never give them this little time.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui continued to issue orders to attack.

The cavalry behind bypassed the horses that blocked the attack in front and continued to rush forward.

The next moment, Bian Zhang and Han Sui were horrified to find that the infantry soldiers in the second row raised their spears and stabbed forward!

Then, without exception, the cavalry in the second round of attack was pierced again by a spear.

At this time, the charge of the two-wheeled cavalry was blocked, and the cavalry's attack could not help but slow down and almost fell into a pause.

Cavalry attacks rely on mobility.

If the attack comes to a halt, it will be a nightmare for the cavalry.

The third row of soldiers in the infantry legion began to stab the cavalry with their spears.

The soldiers in the rows of infantry phalanx behind began to prepare.

At this time, the soldiers in the first row of soldiers had already pulled out their spears from the cavalry's corpses and could join the battle at any time.

Seeing this situation, Bian Zhang and Han Sui took a breath.

They never expected that this dense infantry spear formation would perfectly restrain the cavalry, and they were simply the nemesis of the cavalry.

...

Of course they would not know that this infantry phalanx was named Spanish phalanx in later generations.

It is the most perfect formation for Western infantry to deal with cavalry, and is also called the Invincible Formation.

The Spanish phalanx did not slowly withdraw from the stage of history until the rise of thermal weapons.

Of course, the Spanish phalanx requires the cooperation of multiple troops, especially the cooperation of cavalry.

If there is no cavalry cooperation and just a simple infantry phalanx, it will definitely be the target of cavalry.

Because the Spanish phalanx also has a fatal weakness, that is, its lack of mobility.

Because the spear array has a long spear, it is very difficult to change directions.

And cavalry can rely on their mobility to circumvent the back of the square formation.

At this time, the cavalry was definitely a nightmare existence in the Spanish phalanx.

Unfortunately, this square formation was first unveiled in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui were directly confused. How could they come up with a solution in a short period of time?

...

This square formation is of course not a complete Spanish square formation.

In the real Spanish phalanx, there is also the existence of musketeers.

This square formation is a new square formation summarized by Lu Bu using the Spanish square formation as a model, combining the advantages of various square formations in ancient and modern times.

This square formation was proposed by Lu Bu, and was newly released with the continuous improvement of several generals and Principal Lu Zhi.

In the first battle, he showed a hideous face and deserved to be the nemesis of the cavalry.

...

The invincible formation was completely unfolded, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry were completely at a standstill.

The cavalry in front stopped, the cavalry behind had to stop, and even crashed into a horse without stopping the car.

Facing a spear that was more than ten feet long, they could not reach the infantry in the other square formation.

And those infantry can easily pierce those cavalry with spears.

Even if the cavalry jumped off the horse, it would not be of much use.

Because in the square formation, in addition to the spearmen, there are also troops holding scimitars to protect the spearmen.

The invincible formation was activated, like a huge meat grinder, killing Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry frantically.

So far, except for the dozens of soldiers who were initially killed by cavalry shooting, no one has been killed in the infantry phalanx so far.

The cavalry fell down in pieces.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui's eyes turned red, and they felt so distressed that they were about to drip.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

With the orders of Bian Zhang and Han Sui, the cavalry behind began to turn their horses and retreat, and the cavalry in front could only wait for the retreat behind to catch up.

Just when the cavalry retreated, the invincible formation was still ruthlessly slaughtering the lives of the cavalry.

As early as when they were about to retreat, the Shenji Camp led by Zhao Zilong launched a fierce attack on Bian Zhang's cavalry.

As soon as Bian Zhang's front army retreated, it welcomed a fierce attack from the Shenji Camp led by Zhao Zilong.

Zhao Zilong took the lead, and a bright silver spear was like a dragon from the sea, and Zhao Zilong danced it into the afterimage.

He almost killed a Qiang and Hu cavalry with one shot.

The Shenji Camp behind Zhao Zilong is also equally terrifying.

With the help of the perfect formation, the lives of Bian Zhang's cavalry were easily harvested.

Under the front and back attacks of Zhao Zilong and the Invincible Array, Bian Zhang's cavalry formation was almost broken through and there were signs of defeat.

Fortunately, the cavalry on Han Sui had retreated completely and rushed over to pick up Bian Zhang's cavalry.

Zhao Zilong hid behind him for a while and then retreated in an orderly manner.

After all, the number of soldiers in Shenji Camp is still too small, and you will definitely suffer if you continue chasing.
