"peng!"

On the barracks west of Flatlake Town, Nelson slapped the long oak table with a slap, stood up and shouted: "Infantry phalanx Both offensive and defensive, like an iron wall with blades, I saw murlocs dead and wounded in front of it with my own eyes. How could such an excellent battle formation be useless?!"

"My lord, I can’t say anything. The principle. In my opinion, no matter what kind of tactics, as long as it is easy to use! If we had War Bear Mercenaries mastering the lance phalanx, my left hand would not be gnawed off by the jackals." A disabled old mercenary was holding iron. The left arm of the hook was placed on the table, and the one-eyed person Gelug said: "Kent old man is right. We will defend ourselves when we encounter a large group of jackals, but our tortoise formation can defend. Can’t attack. If we have a lance phalanx, we can fight a beautiful counterattack, or if we retreat while fighting, the Jackal will definitely not dare to catch up!"

"Your Excellency, the York family has never lined up the lance array. How can it be concluded that this kind of battle formation is useless?"

Glu’s questioning resonated with the participants, and everyone agreed, and there was a tumult in the Conference Hall of the barracks.

Ten days ago, Nicole pointed out the inadequacy of the infantry phalanx, and Victor began to ask her for advice, hoping to find a solution to the problem. However, Victor is not clear about the current military system of the lord. Nicole also does not know what Big Legion is. She cannot help Victor perfect the strategic concept of Big Legion, and can only teach the military knowledge of the York family to her lover. Victor returned to Flatlake Town and immediately summoned the backbone of the war bear mercenaries to hold a closed-door meeting on the strategy of the Grand Legion.

The Great Legion strategy and the infantry phalanx were proposed by Victor, and were perfected and implemented by the Bear Mercenaries. The war bear mercenaries have put a lot of effort into the infantry phalanx. If Victor abandons the infantry phalanx, it would be a denial of their efforts, and the war bear mercenaries cannot accept such a result anyway.

Although the war bear mercenaries were full of annoyance, they couldn't offer constructive opinions. Victor sat at the head of the long conference table without saying a word, just watching with cold eyes. The instructor Barrett coughed and said: "Mrs. Nicole is qualified to judge the merits of the infantry phalanx. She participated in the Ant-Man battle in Black Castle Town. Have you forgotten the formation of the York family? The York family not only has an army formation. , And annihilated nearly 40,000 Ant-Man!"

The venue suddenly became quiet. It is still unknown whether the infantry phalanx can wipe out the ant-killer army, but the York family’s army has wiped out 30,000 ants. Ant-Man is a real record. The war bear mercenary has nothing to say.

Victor looked around for a while, said with a smile: "Nicole and I talked about the battle. When the York family wiped out the main ants, Nelson and I stayed behind Randal. Unfortunately, we Failed to participate in the battle."

"Some of you have experienced the Ant-Man annihilation battle yourself, and some did not. Barrett, you can talk about the process of the battle."

" Yes, sir." Barrett nodded, recalled for a while, and said solemnly: "Two years ago in the windy season, the York family began to mobilize all the forces of Black Castle Town to prepare to fight Ant-Man! Except for the York family militia. , Black Castle Town, all men who have received military training must participate in the war, including us."

"If I remember correctly, the commander of the York family in charge of reorganizing ours is Village Chief Bill..."

One-eyed person Gelu took the conversation and exclaimed: "That’s right, it’s the head of Bill, that Old Guy is 61 years old, his hair is half-white, and his body is stronger than me. He used to be Ya Legion has done it. He is a great old warrior. I will always remember him..."

Barritt glanced at Gru and continued: "To boost our morale, Mayor Bill Tell us about the military strength of the York family. The York family and the Nimes family dispatched a Golden Knight, 13 Great Knights, 42 Knights, 364 trainee Knights, 2,900 Legion soldiers from the York family fangs, and 500 Legion soldiers from the Nimes family. , 3,300 ordinary guards, 13,700 York family militiamen. The church dispatched 2 Archbishops, 6 ruling warriors, 102 pastors, more than 1,500 Paladins, and 6,300 temporary militiamen from us."

"A total of 420 Knights, more than 1,500 Paladins, 102 priests, 6,700 elite soldiers, and 18,000 militiamen."

"We started the exercise one month before the decisive battle. The 18,000 militiamen were divided into 72 combat squads. , 250 people per team, 125 York family militiamen, they wear chain armor, carry a hard bow, carry a shield and a one-handed halberd, and stand in the front row. We militiamen wear leather armor, are equipped with hard bows, and are equipped with 30 feather arrows. 4m lance, standing in the back row. Village Chief Bill and his 10 deputies are responsible for commanding us."

"There are two types of elite soldiers, one is heavy infantry, wearing scale armor. Holding shield and iron essen ce One-handed halberd. There are 3100 heavy infantrymen, and they fought in coordination with Knight. "

"The other is the Swordsman assault battalion. They are wearing leather armor and holding a giant sword. They have a total of 3,600 people. They are divided into 18 battalions, each with 200 Swordsman and 20 shield Paladin. With 4 trainee Knights, each battalion has a Knight leader. "Barritt paused and said to Victor: "Master Bruce led a Swordsman assault battalion... Two of his four subordinates, Knight, died in battle. "

Victor silently nodded, Bruce's retinue Knight and the bear mercenaries once wiped out the jackals, and their sacrifices are embarrassing.

"Because we want to fight the ants. People fight in close combat, so you can't attack with fire. The decisive battle is set on a rainy day, and the battlefield is located outside the moat of Black Castle Town. That day, we braved the heavy rain, set up our formation, and waited for work, waiting for the cavalry squad of the York family to draw the main force of Ant-Man in batches. "Barritt continued: "The first batch of ant colonies was about 20,000. These monsters stopped seeing our army! They regroup and wait for support. We had to line up the army and advance slowly. When the ant-man army saw us moving, they started charging! "Speaking of this, Barritt said to Victor: "My lord, do you dare to believe it?" Ant-Man landed on all fours, and the charge speed was not inferior to that of the horse. In the face of the turbulent ant tide, we did not panic, the army said to stop and stopped! "

"This is the case, there is no need to question it! Victor said with his jaw.

Barritt shook his head and sighed: "Yes, that's the truth. As soon as the York family trumpet sounded, Mayor Bill and his deputy immediately issued an order to let us open our bows and arrows to wait for further instructions. The priest blessed Knight, the heavy infantry and Paladin with the divine technique, and the heavy soldiers and Paladin also began to take violent potions. "

"When the forward of the Ant-Man army was 800 meters away from us, eighty trebuchets took the lead. A hundred-pound stone bomb hit the center of the ant wave, and many ant-men were smashed into fleshy flesh, but these monsters simply didn't know what fear was and what was pain, and they continued to charge. After only two rounds of the trebuchet, the ant tide rushed into the range of the hard bow. "

One-eyed person Gelu interjected, "Hehe, as soon as the horn sounded, Mayor Bill ordered us to shoot arrows. I will never forget the scene of more than 10,000 militiamen shooting arrows at the same time. The arrows are more rainy. Even more densely, the ant-men in the front row fell to the ground with arrows, and they were trampled into pieces by the same kind behind. The whole ground was green..."

"Shut up! Barritt yelled at Glu, and then said: "My lord, although the shooting order was given, due to the angle and position, many militia squad commanders did not let their subordinates release arrows, and Ant-Man's loss was not expected. That big. The carapace of these monsters was originally relatively strong, as long as they weren't hit by a critical target, they could continue to move. In fact, the Ant-Man in the front row acts as a shield of the same kind, and they can rush forward for a certain distance even if their whole body is filled with arrows. "

"The shooting of the catapult and the bow and arrow can only be regarded as a warm-up. The real battle starts with Knight's charge. "

"When Ant-Man was less than two hundred meters away from the army, Knight of the York family led 3000 heavy infantry and 1000 Paladin to charge. They lined up in a frontal formation like a hot knife slicing butter, cutting into the ant tide diagonally. The ant-man army was torn open in an instant, and the green mist was filled where Knight passed. I couldn't see the details at all, but the ant tide was quickly divided into two parts. "

"At this moment, the Ant-Man in the front line gave up the charge, and they turned back to fight back. The Ant-Man in the back battled forward to cover up and kill, trying to submerge those warriors. I have to say that the wisdom of the Ant-Man leader cannot be underestimated, but their opponent is the elite led by Knight, and the bodies of those warriors are shining with the divine radiance of the Supreme Lord. Knight's Battle Qi and Paladin's rays of light complemented each other, and the heavy infantry fought bravely to kill the enemy. They forcibly blocked Ant-Man's counterattack. I also found that the Ant-Man in the back array was falling into chaos group by group and began to kill each other. It must be the leader of the ant-killing colony in the grid by Golden Knight of the York family. "

Barritt said in awe: "I can't see the silhouette of that adult, but his power is revealed on the battlefield!" ”

Nelson clenched his fists, his eyes were frantic, and he wished he was wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp axe, fighting side by side with the Knights of the York family, galloping across the ant-man army, invincible. Iron and blood It is the romance of the warrior. Victor has heard Nicole describe the process of the battle, but at this moment he is still fascinated and passionate. He can't help being impressed by Sylvia's demeanor of killing the Silver Ant. It has nothing to do with status, gender, or personal affair, it is purely right. Longing for strength and courage.

Barrett took a breath and said, “We did not expect that Ant-Man’s front line would stop charging, but the commander of the army line quickly issued an order, and the militia squad steadily moved towards Earlier, the Swordsman camp blessed the divine technique and took violent potions, and they plunged into the ant tide like nails. Barritt was silent for a long time, and said solemnly: "The light infantry in the Swordsman battalion are true warriors. They wield a 1.5-meter giant sword and slaying ants like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, but the ant-man monsters are fearless. Life and death, the Swordsman camp rushed quickly, with heavy casualties, but they always maintained a high morale, moved forward courageously, and never flinched. Of course, there are divine techniques and potions, but the most important thing is that their lord and colleagues are being surrounded by the Ant-Man army and are in urgent need of support, so they gave up defense, pursued maximum lethality and speed, and strangulated at all costs. Enemy, aid comrades! "

"At this time, our militia squad also received the enemy. "Barritt said: "Each militia squad is lined up in two rows, with the shield halberd soldiers in front and the lance soldiers behind. We only need to work hard to gather antmans under the cover of shield halberd soldiers.

Nelson frowned and asked, "Isn't this exactly the same as our lance array?"

"Like! But not the same." Barritt thought for a while and said, "Militia. Divided into 72 squad, each team has two rows, each row has a commander, the commander in the back row obeys the commander in the front row, and there are 10 deputies under each commander. The most important thing is that everyone in the militia squad They are all fighting, and the back row of the lance phalanx can hardly reach the enemy."

"The trebuchet continued to strikes the Ant-Man’s rear line. The Swordsman battalion fought among the ant colony, and the heavy infantry guarded the center line. Our militia squad and Paladin flanked the front ant colony. When we merged with Paladin, more than 10,000 ant-men were wiped out."

"The Swordsman Battalion and Paladin, which had the most casualties, left the battle and reopened. After the reorganization, our militia squad used a hard bow to throw the ant colony behind Knight and the heavy infantry until the remaining arrows were used up. After the reorganization of the Swordsman Battalion and Paladin, the high-ranking Knights of the York family began to attack the Ant-Man’s rear formation. Swordsman battalion and Paladin follow closely from behind, followed by heavy infantry. Our militia squad still maintains a formation and moves forward."

"When the scattered ant colony arrives on the battlefield, the main force of 20,000 ants The loss has been exhausted. The rest of the battle is to fight more and less, without suspense."

"In the entire battle, the Swordsman Battalion and Paladin suffered the most casualties. Almost a thousand people died on the spot. Everyone was bloodied and wounded. I learned afterwards that the two sons of Chief Bill were also wearing Swordsman lightly, and they both died bravely." Barritt shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Victor is secretly nodded, the instructor Barrett is thin and has average martial skill, but he has a cool head and sharp eyes, and has been the battle commander of War Bear Mercenaries. Barritt's ability to observe the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the chaotic battlefield shows that he has the basic qualities of an army commander.

Victor said with a faint smile: "Barrit, you comment on this battle."

Barrit bowed and bowed, muttered for a moment, and said, "My lord, this is me The first time I participated in a large-scale battle, I couldn’t understand many things. If you want to ask me how I feel, I can only use one word to describe the process of the battle, which is'quick'!"

"The entire battle gave full play to the power of Knight and divine technique. The high-ranking Knights of the York family broke into the enemy's formation. Their every sword could kill several ant-men and quickly opened a gap, allowing the heavy infantry and Paladin to take the ant colony. divided into two. Lightly loaded Swordsman then launched an assault, they made the front ant-man uncomfortable, and our militia squad advanced layer by layer, harvesting Ant-man’s life like cutting wheat. Everyone on the battlefield receives the enemy, everyone is. While exerting his strength, even my useless Old Guy stabbed one Ant-Man to death..."

"I stabbed three to death!" Gru shouted. Barritt glared at him fiercely and said: "The soldiers of the York family are determined and fearless. In just a quarter of an hour, the front ant-man is finished, and three quarters later, the main force of the ant colony is completely wiped out."

Barrit lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "My lord, the soldiers of the York family have no one to supervise the battle. They don't have to worry about the knife behind them..."

Victor was silent for a while, indifferently said: "I see, keep talking."

"My lord, I don't know how the York family commander coordinated the squads to fight? After the militia received the enemy, I even heard the command horn. I can’t hear it anymore." Barritt looked confused, and Victor sighed said: "That’s why it’s fast! Over time, they might lose."

"Why?" Nelson was at a loss. Asked indifferently.

Victor indifferently said: "Because, after hitting, there will be no command."

"How is this possible?! The whole battle is in order." Barritt was shocked. Shouted.

"I can't say that there is no command. There is a cavalry reserve behind you." Victor laughed, and said as he changed his voice: "But who can command the high-ranking Knight?"

Nelson suddenly realized, and shouted: "That's right! If the adults take part in the war, who is qualified to command the adults!"

Victor laughed and said, "The York family uses wolf pack tactics. This is also the military ideology pursued by the lords."

"Knight is the Wolf King, responsible for tearing the enemy apart. The heavy infantry is the Iron Guard of the Wolf King, responsible for protecting the Wolf King and dividing the enemy’s formation. The Swordsman assault battalion is the backbone of the wolf pack and is responsible for disintegrating the enemy's resistance. The militia squad is the most common member of the wolf pack, responsible for destroying the remnants of the enemy and supporting the assault camp. As for the mercenary group..."

Nelson and Barritt glanced at each other and said with a laugh: "We are wild wolves."

Victor nodded, continued: "Wolves hunt together by instinct and do not require command. In order to do so. In this regard, the army of the lord family often exercises different tactics against different opponents, against goblin tactics, against jackals, against ogre, against centaur, and against enemy families."

"In the Ant-Man battle of Black Castle Town, the York family fully referenced the tactics of dealing with centaur. Lure the enemy to go deep, back to the castle, and fight fast. If you pass it, you will annihilate the enemy, and if you can't beat it, you will return to the castle. However, because of the race Differences and logistical supply restrictions, our human army will not easily engage in large-scale field battles with centaur..." Having said that, Victor asked: "Barritt, I will give you 40,000 soldiers to form our infantry side. Array, can you win 40,000 Ant-Man?"

Barrett thought for a while, stood up and said, "My lord, I can't win."

"First of all, the infantry The larger the formation, the more bloated it is, and the movement speed is slow. There is no way to cooperate with Knight and Paladin. Without Knight's shelter, those ant-man leaders can easily tear apart the infantry formation, and the soldiers have no chance to withdraw to the castle."

"Secondly, the infantry phalanx did not pay much attention to personal martial power, and the effects of divine technique and violent potions were minimized. Longbowmen can destroy up to 10,000 Ant-Man, and shield soldiers and lancers must catch the enemy. Ant-Man impacts the shield formation. , Their corpses will be hung on the lance. The lance hand in the front row can't lift the 7-meter lance at all, while the lance hand in the back row is almost a display. Ant-man will break directly on the same kind of corpse. through the phalanx. The lance soldiers and longbowmen in the back row are not capable of close combat, and the dense formation makes them unable to dodge. "

"This will be a slaughter on one side! "

Barrett said respectfully. "My lord, I always think that the large phalanx has no practical value, and the small phalanx meets our needs. "

"That's right. "Victor shook the head, sighing in his heart: This is not Earth after all.

"Then can you command more than one hundred squads at the same time to coordinate operations?" "

"How is this possible? Although I have little insight, I don't think anyone can do this! "

"Therefore, the wolf pack tactics test the members' fighting will and tactical cooperation very much. It's impossible to do this by training! Victor knocked on the table, slowly said: "The fundamental reason lies in the obedience system!" "

"Or the adoption system! "
