Chapter 4: Fallen Angels
If it were a normal time, the British watchtower in this direction should have already noticed that the Glory Rose Banner covering the earth was approaching the wind, but because this direction happened to be the place where the riot was taking place, most of the soldiers' eyes were attracted by the troublemakers, so no one noticed the Pullen Legion that was already close in front of them.
After advancing for another fifty meters, Tianxiang, who was at the front of the line, nodded to Ni. The latter immediately shouted behind him, "Stop! And the herald passed Ni's orders backwards and one after the other, until the whole army could hear them.
"Boom!" Three hundred soldiers marched rhythmically, and came to a neat stop with a heavy step.
The wind roared, the sea of clouds rolled, and the Pullen soldiers on the ground were dressed in uniform equipment, holding giant shields and spears, and the heads of their spears emitted a cold light. The entire legion strictly adhered to the discipline of the army, and they stared indifferently ahead, and their expressionless faces remained silent. And once the order is given, they will change formation like a tidal wave, but you won't hear a word of gossip in the process, except for the loud sound of them slamming the ground.
Ni took a deep look at the silent and tight army behind him, as well-organized and silent as the Pulon Legion, like the most dangerous lone wolf hidden in the night, giving people a heavy oppression between silence and silence. People who are a little more timid face this group of silent and cold killing machines, I am afraid that they will not even be able to take a step forward with their legs.
Now, Nee finally understood why the king insisted on keeping the entire army silent, and had set up extremely harsh military laws for this. Now Ni understands very well that silence is calm, and calmness is a weapon that can completely empty the brains of soldiers in the army, strictly obey orders and do not raise any questions. It's like turning from a human being into a thoughtless puppet, but this puppet is powerful enough to destroy a legion or even a country.
Soldiers don't need the ability to think, that's what generals and non-commissioned officers do. So they just need to obey, and anything else is superfluous. Including the roar before the battle, the roar during the battle, and the fear of death, those are just a burden for the Pulen army.
The Pulon Legion only needed silence, carrying out every order with heavy and cold vigour. Silent, tearless, and mercilessly, just plunge the sword into the throat of the enemy. Taste the blood, enjoy the killing, dance in the center of hell, and then transform into an army of demon kings, and wipe out all enemies, armies, countries, and even nations that are enemies of the city of Pulun! This is the law of survival of the Pulen Legion!
"King, it seems that the enemy has not yet discovered us." Ni looked at the walls of Lonagok from a distance of several hundred meters, but unexpectedly, the enemy still did not move at this distance, which had to make Ni a little suspicious.
Tianxiang glanced at the watchtower of Lonagonk, which had not yet moved, and he pondered for a moment, thinking that the enemy's actions were somewhat beyond the conventions of war, neither beating drums to meet the enemy, nor serving with spears and bows. Well, there must be demon ...... when things happen.
Ni drove forward to Tianxiang and asked, "King, what shall we do next?" ”
"Since the enemy has put on an empty plan, but he doesn't know if the one sitting in the battle is really Wolong. Well, if it's true or not, you can find out by trying, and order the fallen troops to prepare to attack. At this time, Tianxiang turned his head and said with a hideous smile on his face: "Sue the Fallen Troops, and say hello to the English people in the city on my behalf." ”
Ni was slightly stunned, looking at Tianxiang's expression, Ni's face gradually became bloody and hideous.
"One qiē obeys the king's wishes!" After Ni finished speaking, he turned around and yelled behind him: "The whole army takes the order!" Field Mode - Three! The Battle of the City mode is activated! All armies stick to their respective posts as they act! Fallen Troops, Forward!! ”
The surface of the lake, which had been calm and mirror-like, suddenly became bubbling like boiling hot water. The Pullen soldiers quickly dispersed in all directions, their formations neat and orderly, following the familiar procedures of hundreds and thousands of trainings, and forming a formation of two-line defense.
Two hundred shield spearmen erected their shields shoulder to shoulder to form a thick shield wall, their right hands set their spears in the circles in the center of the two shields, the thick wooden poles held in the palms of their hands, and the rings at the tiger's mouth held the wooden sticks to prevent them from detaching. The head of the spear, which shone with a cold glow, was uniform in height, straight forward, as dense and dense as a forest of spears.
A hundred crossbowmen spread out on both flanks, and they were about ten meters apart from the spear troops in the middle, and they were in groups of three, two in a row, raising their crossbows and aiming them in front. The crossbowmen on the left and right sides can form crossfire on the enemy in the center with the help of staggered left and right, form a strong suppression of the central army in the center of the enemy, and deal a severe blow to the enemy's morale and edge.
Of course, if the enemy has cavalry to attack from the flank, there is no need to worry, and then only the field mode "2" - external plural offensive and defensive warfare will be launched. At that time, this group of soldiers who have been trained to the bone and have firmly remembered each formation will naturally react.
At this time, the three already assembled Fallen Sky Dusks were slowly pushed to the front line. Fifteen meters tall and three meters wide, it looked like an ancient beast with a single horn from a distance. Its body is covered with iron sheets and has strong defense, and its single horn that can "one machine and two shots" gives it extremely strong long-range strike capabilities.
Fallen Twilight is a heavy siege weapon, and the main principle is still the principle of leverage, but unlike ordinary trebuchets, it should have been used in large quantities in the mid or late 12th century, such as when Saladin's 100,000 army attacked Jerusalem during the Celestial Dynasty.
However, Saladin's trebuchet is far less ferocious and powerful than that of the Pulon King, and the main reason is that the Pulon Castle has more advanced forging technology and design concepts, among which the gear revolution and assembly features play a subversive role, and what is even more terrifying is that the continuous projection ability and distance of the Fallen Twilight are far more than twice as long as similar weapons, and more than three times that of light and medium siege weapons!
