Let's start a single chapter to explain.

Queue up, not the patent of the era of line columns, nor the patent of Macedonian Greece.

The infantry was in the middle of the troops, they had to line up, which was used to maintain the line.

Of the more than a hundred clansmen, there were only fifteen archers, as I had written before.

Fifteen archers could not play projectiles, and the main force of the battle was infantry.

How do infantry engage the enemy? Running over in a hurry? Or do you beat the drum forward to keep the formation closer?

What are the fifteen archers for? It's for offense, not for the main output, it's for breaking up the opponent's formation.

Before the infantry charged, the archers fired, killing several people, leaving holes in the already tight front and loosening the tight line.

(The Manchu Tartars also used this method of warfare, and heavy arrows shot at close range to scatter the Ming formation, so as to facilitate the charge)

Is it easy to charge directly into the dense infantry? Or is it easier to shock a mutilated notched infantry?

The main force is the infantry, not the archers, who are only responsible for loosening the opposing line.

The infantry wants to get close to the enemy, there is only a dead end in the chaos, and the drum must be beaten, and there is often a whole team of ten steps in ancient times, don't think that our ancestors are fighting, and they are piled up directly without saying a word.

If you want to compare, you can only say that this is similar to the era of heavy arquebuses, how can it be pulled to the line soldiers?

The front, the infantry has always been used to maintain the front.

As long as the front line is not chaotic, the enemy will have no chance to win completely, and can only push hard.
