Summoning Total War

Chapter 27 Silver Shield Legion Infantry!

(In addition to the movie mentioned before, there is also a movie called "The Lost Ninth Army", which shows the fighting style of the Tortoiseshell Formation very powerfully. In addition, I would like to recommend the Lost Ninth Army to you. A movie, this is a movie centered on the glory and courage of the Roman Empire. It is also a movie without the protagonist or even the supporting role of the nv. In addition to the tortoiseshell formation, the Scythe Chariot is also in it. It is very worthwhile. Look

Finally, ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets. There will be more tonight)

"Array"

"Tortoise Shell Formation"

The centurion trot to a halt and erected a long shield in front of him. The formation of the entire legion changed from evacuated to dense. Soldiers gathered together at the command of the commander. The wide shield completely covered them, and the soldiers in front stepped towards Before, with a loud shout, the shields were arranged in a line, and the soldiers in the middle of the formation raised the shields on their heads following the command of the flag bearer. The soldiers on both sides turned to protect the flanks, and the whole formation suddenly became an incomparable one. Tortoise shell

"Defensive Formation"

Silver Shield Legion Infantry Chief shouts

The shield used by the regiment’s heavy infantry is a semicircular, cylindrical, long shield with a height of 1.25 meters. The shield is a wooden frame, wrapped in leather, and edged with iron. The outside is a layer of silver-white iron, with a metal plate in the center. At the center is a hemispherical protrusion. In battle, in addition to defending with large shields, Legionnaires can also hit the enemy with their bodies under the long shields. If they are hit head-on, although they will not die immediately, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. However, the soldiers behind the big shield suffered limited damage because of the shield's protection.

The hemispherical bulge in the center of the shield plays such a role in addition to defending the javelin.

"drink"

The sudden change on the battlefield made the charging lizardman warriors halt, and the enemy formed a dense formation with incredible speed, which surprised them. Even if they are stupid, as a warrior, they know that today they are encountering human jīng sharp troops. Because of this discipline, they have never seen it since they entered the southern plains.

Although the tortoise shell formation is slow, its protection in the era of cold weapons is invincible.

Facing the tight tortoise shell formed by the large shield, the running lizardman warriors suddenly hesitated. The length and height of these large shields are enough to tightly protect the parts above the knees of people, facing such a difficult one. Tortoise shell, they can’t be sure if they will survive

No matter what kind of soldier, when facing an enemy he has never seen before, he will inevitably hesitate.

And this hesitation, the arrow rain of the lizardman archer fell on the tortoise shell formation

Unharmed

The arrows are on the large shield, and the dense shield array completely obscures the direction that the archer can strike. Although the lizardman’s bow is powerful, it is not enough to wear a large shield covered with iron. Ya was hung on the shield. Although the shield array looked a bit like a hedgehog, the legion itself did not suffer the slightest loss.

"go ahead"

The officer at the forefront of the tortoise formation shouted, and the tortoise formation began to advance at a slow speed in the eyes of the enemy's suspicion.

During training, Murphy consciously let these Silver Shield Legion infantry use their previous military infantry in order to enable them to form a formation on the battlefield fast enough, and then disperse the formation. Stepping out at a specific pace, only a few breaths of time, these Silver Shield Legion infantry can be evacuated into a dense tortoise shell formation, or spread out from the tortoise shell formation to form a deep battle line.

………………

"This..." Altria's eyes widened and stared at the changes on the battlefield unblinkingly. At first seeing these large shield heavy infantry with obvious human style in the southern plains, she just thought they were nothing but The equipment is just a little better. But after seeing these legionaries quickly forming a tortoiseshell formation, she was immediately taken aback.

This kind of discipline and cooperation is simply not comparable to the aboriginal soldiers in the southern plains.

And this unseen formation is obviously extremely powerful against bows and arrows. It can even be said that the dense formation formed by dripping shields completely protects the bow and arrow. In the face of such a tightly defensive formation, the archer can It can be said to be quite limited

And at this time, the battlefield is changing again

Because of the hesitation of the lizardman warriors, the distance between the two armies was narrowed to a hundred steps. Some of the lizardman warriors who rushed over hit the shield that formed the front of the tortoise shell with their weapons, and the shield sank, but immediately A short sword stabbed out of the gap. Because of the lizardman's height, the dagger pierced into a certain point of it very tricky, followed by an extremely miserable howl.

The interior of the tortoise shell formation is very dense, and the soldiers in the front and the rear are closely attached. This makes the long shield bear the enemy's impact, the strength is divided among the soldiers in the back row, unless it encounters inhuman Brute force, otherwise it would be impossible to break their formation. Seeing that the enemy is as tight as a tortoise shell, some lizardman warriors even jumped on top of the tortoise shell formation, but before they could attack, the all-pervasive dagger once again pierced the gap in the shell. Out

The enemy is like a solid rock, no matter how these lizard warriors attack, they can’t shake it.

If you can't open a gap, then rushing up will be nothing but death.

Soon, the lizardman warrior retreated.

………………

Murphy has been carefully observing the battlefield. These Silver Shield Legion infantry are all trained by five-star Greek heavy infantry. For this type of legion that can use the Tortoise Formation, there must be a very strict prerequisite. It is discipline and cooperation. Only the truly sharp soldiers can do it, and only the professional army can form a tightly guarded tortoise shell formation.

Otherwise, the role of the tortoise shell formation can only be used to protect bows and arrows, and cannot be used as a close fight.

For the tortoise shell formation of non-jīng sharp troops, after entering the close combat, the best way is to disperse the formation and switch to the traditional close combat method. Otherwise, the tortoise formation will be broken by a corner and its own loss will be even greater. Big

It is precisely because these three squads of silver shield infantry are all trained with sharp training, Murphy will try to use the tortoise shell formation for close combat.

"Array"

"Battle formation"

"evacuation"

After narrowing the distance to a hundred paces, facing the lizardman warriors who couldn't break the tortoiseshell formation and began to retreat, the sergeant sergeant in the forefront shouted and gave the order again.

"drink"

The soldiers of the Silver Shield Legion retracted their shields, held them flat in front of them, and stepped horizontally from left to right. The soldiers on the two wings began to extend, transforming into the traditional four-row deep front at a very fast speed. The enemy’s formation changed. Just when the Lizardmen warriors hesitated whether they should rush up to fight, the Silver Shield Legion infantry who dispersed their formations took off their javelins from behind and aimed them at the Lizardmen who were still hesitating. Throw

Most of the javelins used by ordinary Legionnaires are light javelins, and since these three Silver Shield Legion infantry are composed of jīng sharp, Murphy equipped them with heavy javelins.

Although the length is only about 1.5 meters, but a hard iron tip is added to the soft metal rod, which makes these javelins more penetrating power

The Roman javelin was an important lethal force in the ancient Roman army. There is a joke here, that is, "human ròujīng guided weapon".

Although the javelin's distance is not far enough, its lethality is not invincible by the bow and arrow. When facing the heavy javelins thrown by the infantry of the Silver Shield Legion, those Lizardmen warriors with only their own natural scales, no armor, and no shields suddenly felt what is called fear. The distance of death has never been so close to them. Pass

Less than sixty steps away, the Lizardmen warriors without any shield protection faced two rounds of heavy javelin throws from the Silver Shield Legion infantry.

Wailing everywhere

The Lizardmen warriors who had received two rounds of heavy javelins from the Silver Shield Legion's infantry immediately suffered heavy losses. Those soldiers hit by the heavy javelins either died on the spot, or they were penetrated by the heavy javelins and nailed to the ground. Death is just a matter of time.

sāoluàn.

The lizardman warriors who had suffered a severe moral blow suddenly had a húnluàn. Some soldiers who had lost their courage tried to retreat, but the lizardman officer's shouts made them afraid to escape.

However, before the lizardman officers regain their morale, the infantry of the Silver Shield Legion was crushed like a storm.

Perhaps it was because they understood the enemy’s strength after the battle. Perhaps it was discovered that these lizardmen were not much stronger than the half-orcs who had fought before, except for their physical advantages. Those Legionnaires who had seen victory in sight were actually ordered by the commander. Choose to end this war in the wildest way of fighting.

"Power and Glory"

They raised their shields in front of them, raised their eyes to the sky and let out a roar, and then they charged at the lizardman warriors who had sāoluàn.

A dull crash sounded from head-to-head confrontation~www.readwn.com~ The high-spirited Silver Shield Legion infantry actually chose the most primitive and savage crushing impact when facing the lizardman warriors with a physique over two meters. charge

Here, we must mention their full names.

collapse

The enemy’s bravery completely surpassed the imagination of these lizardmen. These enemies, far smaller than them, actually slammed into it with their shields.

In the dull sound of impact, some lizardmen were knocked upside down and flew out.

The morale of these lizard people collapsed completely.

victory is in sight

There was a smile on Murphy's face, but when he was about to order the battlefield to be cleaned, he suddenly heard a dull rushing sound from the ground, as if some large creatures were trampling on the ground.
