If someone was here at the moment, he would definitely complain about these elves who combined the Spanish phalanx with the hollow phalanx.

At the end of the century, a group of perceptive and sharp-thinking elves represented by Giorgio and Córdoba began to carry out various reforms, large or small.

The "Cordoba Phalanx", which was tested in the Fishman's mountain warfare training camp, is one of the many reform attempts made by the elves.

After trying out the "Hornet" assault rifle, the elves found that this kind of weapon that the brave warriors had long been thinking about really had great potential, especially after using the newly developed propellant, which was several orders of magnitude more powerful than the black powder toys they made in their handicraft class when they were more than 100 years old.

Gradually, the sound of the development of muskets instead of bows and arrows began to appear among the elves.

In this context, Córdoba considered the characteristics of the current assault rifle with strong explosive firepower in a short period of time, but slow reloading time, and after integrating the existing tactics and other new weapons, it invented a formation with medium and long-range firepower output as the main means of destruction.

On the battlefield, with the sound of gunfire, the elven archers suddenly turned into musketeers.

The small phalanx of long-range troops arranged in the four corners of the large phalanx cross-fire the fish-men in front of them from both wings, and the tall fish-men are a good target at a distance of tens of meters, and the elves' shots can hit their bodies.

Bullets at this distance can pierce the fish-men's armor made from the sea beast's shell, causing them a lot of damage.

The formation of the fishmen who were about to charge suddenly stopped, and the fishmen in the front row immediately fell.

Many elves were worried that the bullets would not be powerful enough at such a distance, so they chose to aim for the weakly protected legs of the fishmen. Under cross-shooting, if you miss the leg of the fishman in front of you, you will also hit the fishman in the back.

Some of the fishmen who were hit by the key were killed on the spot, and a small number of them were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness due to multiple guns. The worst thing was that they were shot in both legs, and even the fish-men who were shot in the right side of their left leg and the left side of their right leg, and they rolled on the ground in pain.

The musketeer, who had finished firing, immediately put his gun on his shoulder, and immediately after him, the elves took the empty gun and reloaded, and handed another musket that had already been loaded.

It's not dense, but it can be said that it is a continuous rain of bullets that shoots the enemies standing in the front row, and the magicians attack the enemies in the back row with magic.

Because he had to go down under the water, the fishman without a shield suddenly paid a high tuition fee with his life.

Seeing the heavy losses ahead, the fishmen immediately launched a charge to try to rush into the phalanx of musketeers and magicians.

At this time, the musketeers immediately burst into a burst of firepower, and after running out of bullets in their guns, they turned around and disappeared into the large phalanx under the cover of the magician.

Taking advantage of the weakening of the firepower, the fish-men who had suffered heavy casualties on the way of charging for just a few tens of meters finally rushed to the elf's spear array.

However, they were greeted by the flickering head of the spear.

The pikemen, who were seriously waiting, armed with spears, stabbed at the fishmen who had come to the front of the formation.

At this time, the fish-man is horrified to find that his weapons are not long enough for the enemy.

When fighting in the mountains, due to the influence of terrain and vegetation, the equipment of the soldiers is basically not too long, which will affect the mobility and use effect.

It was only after the wealthy elves had gathered a lot of storage rings that they transported these spears, which were previously only used in large-scale frontal battles in open areas, to the mountains.

The fish-man soldiers struggled with their weapons to unleash the spears in front of them, trying to open a gap that allowed them to rush in.

As a result, the spears in front of them were layered one after another, and the next layer was opened.

The most important thing is that every time the fish-man is stabbed by a spear, the head of the spear will flash with a cold light, and a sharp wind blade will shoot out from the head of the spear.

If the stabbed fish-man had a magic shield, the wind blade would still be able to block it.

But the fish-man had already been broken up just now, and the magic synchronization had dissipated, and he couldn't stop the few spearheads that stabbed him with his magic shield.

For a time, the battle on the pikemen's line was bloody.

Elven pikemen, who are unrelenting to their enemies, stab at the junctions of the fish-men's armor. Whenever you have the feeling of stabbing an enemy, immediately activate the wind blade on the gun head.

Many of the fish-man soldiers had their legs and waists slashed by the Wind Blade. If they still have a magic shield on their body, they will be slightly injured at most, if they don't have a magic shield, or if the defense of the magic shield is not enough, then the wind blade will leave a huge wound, or directly cut anything in front of it.

It didn't take long for the fish-people, whole or incomplete, lying on the ground, their blood making the ground slippery.

Seeing that the elves' spear array was difficult to break through with the soldiers in a short period of time, the fishmen on the second line raised their javelins again, preparing to open a gap with a long-range attack.

At such close range, the fish-man's javelin is terrifyingly lethal.

As long as a gap in the spear array is opened, the fish-man who uses a short weapon to attack in close quarters undoubtedly has a huge advantage.

It was at this point that the world revealed her unscientific but magical side.

After retreating into the phalanx, the elven mages joined forces to cast an earthen wall spell.

The earthen wall is not high, and it reaches the waist of the elf.

But the thick earthen wall - or rather the earthen embankment - was enough for the elven musketeers to stand on it and let them shoot from the top of the pikemen's heads at the fishmen who were preparing to bid for their guns.

When a rain of bullets passed, only a handful of javelins were thrown, injuring a few elves.

Córdoba and George, who were standing on the podium, were now focusing on the fish-man barracks ahead.

Not long after the two flanks engaged the enemy, the fishmen in the fish-man barracks began to use simple wooden bridges to frame the trench in front of the gap in the barracks wall.

At this moment, the main force of the fishmen, who had already made preparations, was passing through the wooden bridge in front of the gap and the drawbridge on the gate of the barracks, and the soldiers were coming towards the elves in two ways.

The main force of the fishmen lined up in the standard formation of two sword and shield soldiers in front, javelinmen in the middle, archers and mages in the rear, and slashed towards the two wings of the elven phalanx and the junction in front of them.

"It's coming!" Córdoba was a little nervous, the flank attack just now was just an appetizer, and then it was the main meal of this fight.

George nodded there, the enemy's commander was still level, they did not directly attack the front, but took advantage of the shortcomings of their formation's mobility equal to about zero, difficult to turn, and attacked the two corners where the force was weaker, in order to make a gap in the shortest possible time.

"In the future, you can consider rounding out the formation. Córdoba smiled.

The distance between the enemy and us is not far, and the enemy is coming quickly, and at this time, the magic battle between the main force of the fish-men and the elven army formation is about to begin.

As soon as Córdoba's voice fell, he immediately ordered: "Fire coverage!"

At this moment, the "Cordoba Phalanx" finally showed all its minions.

In the new discussion brought about by the new weapon, the whole army in the Wutong City area reached a consensus - in future operations, long-range attacks and non-contact operations will gradually become the mainstream of warfare, and ordinary melee troops will gradually disappear, and perhaps when they retire, there will be no spearmen, swords and shields and other types of troops in the army.

Therefore, the melee soldiers in the "Cordoba Phalanx" chose to be mainly pikemen who were good for defense, supplemented by agile sword and shield soldiers, and their main task was to protect the ranged attack units behind them.

The elevation angle of the "Charles Big Pineapple" launcher has been raised almost overhead, and the elves who operate the "Charles Organ" have just turned the engine power on the rockets to a minimum, reducing their range to the limit.

At the command of Córdoba, the "Great Pineapple" and "Organ" were launched at the same time, and they flew into the night sky before falling on their respective targets.

The rockets flew across the battlefield and landed in the fish-man's barracks, covering the reserves inside the barracks.

At the same time, the watchtower in the barracks, which was constantly signaling, became the focus of attention, and two rockets were specifically aimed at it.

Huge black "large pineapples" rained down into the sky, smashing on the heads of the fish-man mages and archers who were about to release their magic and arrows to attack the elven army.

The first batch of "Big Pineapples" that fell blew up the magic shield that shrouded the fish-people back to the magic element, and the second batch of "Big Pineapples" delivered to the door brought a bloody storm.

The musketeers and mages behind the pikemen simultaneously aimed at the javelinmen behind the sword and shield men, a leapfrogging long-range attack that caught the javelinmen off guard.

For a while, the main force of the fish-men suffered heavy losses, and only the sword and shield soldiers like iron turtles did not receive many casualties, and were still moving forward slowly.

Córdoba and George didn't care about these sword and shield soldiers who were still dozens of meters away from them at the moment, as long as they eliminated the opponent's long-range attack power with extreme firepower in a short period of time, so that the Iron Tortoise was similar to a real tortoise in front of the mage who had no defensive pressure.

It took less than fifteen minutes for the first deserter to turn around and flee among the fishmen.

Immediately afterward, there were more and more deserters.

When the fish-man sword and shield soldiers who fought hard against the elven pikemen realized that something was wrong, the friendly forces behind them almost ran away.

Under the full care of the musketeers and magicians, the sword and shield soldiers who lost their armor were able to escape back to the barracks.

Córdoba turned to George and said, "Let's clear our inventory and go back." ”

George nodded.

A few minutes later, under Córdoba's orders, the rockets and "big pineapples" that were finally used for the unexpected smashed into the fish-man's training camp.

In the end, George ordered the entire army to retreat, and the only remaining fishmen in the training camp had no intention of pursuing them.

This Jenny invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and the mountain warfare training camp that was originally planned to be used to train mountain warfare troops in an attempt to use professional mountain warfare teams to raid Osmanthus City again was considered a waste.
