Summoning Total War

The training that Murphy prepared for these half-elves is actually very simple. Of course, it is relatively simple to say, but there are still certain difficulties when it is actually done. Especially for those of them who have not received much formal training. Without the usual practice, Murphy, to be honest, doubts how much they can do in this half-day!

...

The archers lined up in front of the battle line.

After the lizardmen army enters range, start shooting quickly! No need to aim, just shoot all the ten arrows in front of you!

Free fire ahead. The rear melee units with shields stood by with loose lines.

The enemy is approaching.

When the distance is close to fifty meters.

The archers began to retreat, passing through the defensive line, and ranked in the third echelon.

The close combat troops holding shields changed from a loose formation to a dense formation.

The second echelon stepped forward to fill vacancies.

Pull the defensive front.

The battle entered melee combat. The third and fourth echelon archers used projectiles to suppress the enemy behind the killing line.

This battle formation may be a bit long to say, but to put it simply, the archer first stands in front of the line, waits for the enemy to appear and enters the range, and then starts shooting. When the shooting is almost done, they start to retreat and withdraw to the back of the melee team. Then they fought melee to block the vacancy, blocking the enemy from the front line, and then the archers and the archers in the back then used projectile firepower to suppress the enemy.

A very simple way of fighting.

When the Roman legions were fighting, the Javelinmen threw a round of javelins, and then retreated behind the heavy infantry.

The most important thing about this tactic is that there should be no confusion when retreating.

When melee melee troops are blocked to meet the enemy, they must seize the right time and not be rushed by the lizardmen.

This is a fairly simple change.

It can be said to be an entry level, as long as they can do it, then Murphy's plan can increase the odds of winning by three points.

Originally, according to Murphy’s standard, the time for the archer in front of the front line to retreat should be when the enemy's distance is narrowed to 30 meters, rather than the length of 50 meters, but after considering the discipline and cooperation of the half-elves, He had no choice but to widen this distance to the maximum, because no matter how big the flower was, he couldn't shoot a few arrows at all. If this tactic is used by the troops of Athens, Murphy will even shorten the retreat distance to 15 meters. This extra 35 meters will allow the archers to shoot two more rounds of arrows, to the best of their ability. It is possible to weaken the enemy's power before hand-to-hand combat.

The troops in Athens have strictly trained their troops and can quickly turn loose formations into dense formations by turning and stepping forward, but these half-elf troops cannot do this. They can stop the lizardmen without confusion. Murphy is satisfied with the gap in the offense. In order to prevent some accidents, he even vacated a distance of more than 30 meters to let them change their formations in advance.

Don't underestimate the two extra rounds of arrows, the explosive power of these two arrows shooting at close range, so that the enemy rushed in front of them and killed them.

This is not an exaggeration!

Because at a distance of fifty meters, the longbow can shoot through many metal armors!

The half-elf army is urgently familiar with this simple formation change. Although they lack sufficient military training, their fighting spirit is still very high under the fighting will to protect their homeland. Several changes have been made, and their movements are slow or run. The half-elves who were in the wrong direction looked ashamed, and bowed their heads in shame without being scolded by the officer.

The three hours of training quickly achieved some results. Although it seemed a little messy, at least it maintained a seven-seven-eight.

As long as they don't make mistakes because of tension during the battle, Murphy is sure to win a brilliant victory!

The half-elves are familiar with the new battle formation, and the Athens army is also training, conducting simple running-in. Because these half-elves were not familiar with this way of fighting, in order to ensure victory, Murphy had to lengthen the line of Athens, and the soldiers of Athens would bear nearly half of the front line of defense. This made it necessary for the Athenian army to transform from the traditional five-row front to a relatively weak three-row front. ...

There is no way to stretch the front line and thin it. Otherwise, if more than half of the defense line is handed over to these half-elves who have just been familiar with the battlefield, Murphy is actually very worried. Because once the Lizardmen's offensive breaks through the two-wing defenses, the Athenian army standing in the middle will become the target of being attacked on three sides, which Murphy absolutely does not want to see.

So he would rather let the Athenian army afford most of the line of defense!

But considering that he has a large number of excellent archers this time, Murphy is not so worried. As long as the first wave of shooting can be effective, then the lizardman's combat effectiveness will at least be weakened by more than 70%, then there will be no big threat. Murphy has carefully studied the corpses of the lizardmen. Their finger bones are long and narrow, and they do not have five fingers like humans, so they are not suitable for shield combat. Without shield protection, these lizardmen will have to pay more casualties when facing archers shooting!

...

The neigh of the Hippogryph came from the sky. This was the scout indicating that the lizardman's vanguard had arrived.

Murphy turned on the "Total War" auxiliary system, and sure enough, on the map on the strategy page, a red sign was approaching, and the distance was about five kilometers. They marched very fast, obviously they were all lightly loaded.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the lizardman striker appeared on the battlefield.

In winter, the daylight has become shorter, and the sun has turned to the west at about five o'clock. Although it is still quite bright now, at most one hour will be left with only a fiery sunset on the horizon. Because lizardmen have a certain night vision ability, they don't care that the sky is getting dark. After spotting the half-elf army waiting in front, these lizardmen pioneers immediately began to line up under the orders of the officers.

The distance between the two sides is about one kilometer, which is one kilometer.

As a humanoid race that has not yet entered the civilized era, the discipline of the lizardmen army is obviously not very good. Their fighting style is like BC barbarians. The front is a loose line of heavy infantry, and the middle is Inferiorly equipped light infantry, and the rear are auxiliary units such as archers. The front line listed by the lizardmen is not good, even a bit crooked, obviously they have not been formally trained.

The way of fighting still keeps rushing forward, relying on his own strength advantage and a natural bravery!

This is a simple and primitive but effective way of fighting.

It is a way of fighting in which the enemy will be rushed to the ground when it succeeds, and the enemy will be beaten when it fails.

If you want to make an analogy, it is Cheng Yaojin's three axes!

The scientific name is-Sweep Qianjun.

The distance of one kilometer is actually not far. With a telescope, Murphy can even clearly see the paint on the face of the lizardman officer walking in the front. These lizardmen believe in ancient and primitive beliefs. In addition to sacrifices, they also have witch doctors. The lizardmen’s arrows can be deployed with poison, but there are not many instantaneous deadly poisons, and it is difficult to equip them on a large scale. Druids and The moon **** priests can all be lifted.

This time, perhaps it is really pressing.

The half-elf queen actually agreed to Murphy's opinion of poisoning the arrow, and even the druids didn't say much, but took the initiative to deploy the poison.

No one knows the toxicity of plants better than these druids.

The arrows used by the half-elves are smeared with a special poison. Strictly speaking, they are not fatal, but they have a special effect, that is, a slight anesthesia. The wound will start after a few minutes. It was numb and gradually weakened. This was the result of a few half-elf warriors' personal experiments. However, the number of these arrows is not large, and only more than 10,000 were produced temporarily.

Poison can't be everywhere, otherwise there are so many living creatures left in the wild.

...

The lizardman’s generals are obviously also wondering why the half-elves, who have been playing jungle wars with them, would take the initiative to confront them this time~www.readwn.com~ but they also know that the opportunity is rare, because the half-elves’ bows and arrows are very fierce. , But after being drawn into close combat, it is a group of lambs to be slaughtered. After several large losses, these lizardmen also learned well, and the soldiers of the first line all took up a shield awkwardly.

These shields are mainly used to defend against half-elf shooting, and then thrown away when the distance gets closer. As long as they enter melee combat, then victory is already in sight.

Before the lizardmen arrived.

Murphy consciously let the soldiers in the back row kneel on one knee.

In this way, from the perspective of those lizardmen, only the row of archers in the front can be seen. Whether it can be effective or not, it can at least confuse the enemy a little bit.

However, the enemy's enthusiasm clearly exceeded Murphy's expectations.

Because after the formation was over, the lizardman general waved his big hand, the heated drums sounded, and a group of lizardman warriors screamed excitedly and rushed over.
