Chapter 639: Time is tight, and the task is heavy
Bai Lidu vaguely remembered that the last time he was engaged in a battle with the British and French forces, he seemed to have obtained a skill book for the military formation from the division commanders of the two British armies, so he immediately opened the package to find it, and really found it:
[Line Column Marching Formation] (blue characters, military formation): Rare military formation skill book, after learning, you can master the method of arranging the line marching formation, you can learn by consuming 1 skill point, learning conditions: phalanx, army number requirements: 50 people, level requirements: 30 levels
[Hollow Phalanx] (blue, military array): Rare military array skill book, after learning, you can master the method of arranging the hollow phalanx, consume 1 skill point to learn, learning conditions: phalanx, line marching formation, army number requirements: 100 people, level requirements: level 30
It just so happened that the learning conditions of these two military formations required mastery of the phalanx, and he had just obtained them.
However, before learning these two new military array skills, you also need to study how this phalanx is arranged, Bai Lidu called up the character panel, and then swiped horizontally, and found a skill icon representing the phalanx in the latest military array system panel:
[Phalanx]: Basic military formation, when the player leads the army in open terrain, according to the current army under the command of the army according to the front, middle, and rear armies to quickly deploy the army, so as to form one or more phalanx formations, after the formation, the army's marching speed decreases by 15%, the overall defense increases by 15%, and the overall attack power increases by 15% (the increase in defense and attack is only effective for melee enemy forces).
At this moment, the brigade has not yet crossed the river, and the default marching formation is just an ordinary longitudinal queue in the shape of a long serpentine, since there is a phalanx given by this system, it is better to practice it before crossing the river.
So Bai Lidu also dragged the skill icon representing the phalanx to the existing skill shortcut bar, and then activated it with a gesture:
A matrix of 18 rows and 18 columns immediately appeared in front of him, and on the right side of the matrix there were three miniature full-length portraits of soldiers representing the troops, namely sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and crossbow soldiers, and the number was also marked behind each class, indicating the current number of this class.
There is no need to explain this design at all, just drag the corresponding troops into the corresponding area, but this giant phalanx of 310 people, its target is too large, in case there are really enemy shells or meteorite spells attacking, the damage to the personnel will definitely be not small.
The so-called eggs can't all be packed in one basket, can this square also be arranged in multiple ways?
Looking at the bottom of the matrix in the picture, there are also two miniature figures, which just represent the formations of two and three rectangular squares, which means that the existing army can only be divided into three squares at most, so Bai Lidu chose the figure with three matrix squares.
The original matrix graphics were also instantly replaced by 3 blank matrices of 10 rows and 10 columns, and each matrix was also identified with the number 1-2-3, dragging the miniature icon of the sword and shield soldier to one of the matrices, there was also a column adjustable icon to adjust the number of people, about one-third of the position, 13 people, the front row of the rectangular was continuously arranged 13 sword and shield soldiers, and the other two blank matrices were automatically assigned 13 and 14 sword and shield soldiers respectively, Very smart.
According to this rhythm, Bai Lidu quickly assigned three troops, and in the process of distribution, the original march will not be affected and stop, and after the final confirmation of the formation, the team behind him will instantly become 3 phalanxes, each phalanx has 100 people, and the extra 10 crossbowmen will automatically follow the tail of each phalanx.
Bai Lidu found that on the right side of his picture, there is also an extra area, that is, to adjust the position relationship of the three squares, you can arrange the three squares vertically, horizontally, or the original glyph and the inverted glyph, and when you select the No. 1 square, and then directly select a certain area in the picture, the No. 1 square can also go in that direction alone.
In this way, the changes in the formation are already very rich, and it will be troublesome to operate more.
After studying and understanding the operation method of the phalanx, Bai Lidu also consumed two skill points, and learned the two skill books of the line marching array and the hollow phalanx.
[Line Marching Formation]: Infantry formation, when the player leads the army in open terrain, according to the current command of the army according to the three-layer structure of shield, spike, and shooting, the army will be lined up into three to six rows of line formation, or it can be quickly converted from a phalanx to a line marching formation, so as to form one or more line marching formations, after the formation is deployed, the marching speed of the army will decrease by 15%, the overall defense will increase by 10%, and the overall attack power will increase by 20% (the increase in defense and attack is only effective for melee enemy troops, When the Marksman is equipped with a flintlock pistol, the attack damage is increased by an additional 10%).
[Hollow Phalanx]: Infantry formation, when the army led by the player is besieged by the enemy, the army can be arranged into three to six rows of hollow phalanx according to the three-layer structure of shield, spike and shot according to the current type of army under his command, or it can be quickly converted from a phalanx or a line marching array to a hollow phalanx, thus forming one or several hollow phalanxes, after the formation is deployed, the army's marching speed decreases by 50%, the overall defense increases by 35%, and the overall attack power increases by 15% (the increase in defense and attack is only effective for melee enemy troops, When the Spike is equipped with a spear, the defense is increased by an additional 15%).
It seems that the hollow phalanx can only come in handy when defending, and both the phalanx and the line marching array can be used to attack, and the phalanx can also be quickly converted into a line marching array, so the formation of the phalanx was chosen, and it was still the inverted zigzag, so that when encountering the enemy, it seemed that the attack would be more concentrated.
In order to protect the two, Bai Lidu also arranged the two of them in the center of the military array, and he rode the white bone fire unicorn to the front of the military formation.
The three hundred-man phalanx crossed the river, and before they had gone far, they encountered the enemy.
Bai Lidu, who rushed to the front, also saw it very clearly, only to see a team of Russian soldiers composed of about ten people, guarding the door of a private house, two people were still holding torches in their hands, and several Russian soldiers also happened to come out of the private house, carrying something like a grain bag on their shoulders, and a Qing man dressed as a peasant woman also rushed out of the house, grabbed the bag on one person's shoulder, and let out a heart-rending shout, the Russian soldier turned around and smashed the woman to the ground with the butt of his gun. He immediately stabbed the woman twice with a bayonet, and then the crowd burst into laughter, and two Russian soldiers with torches immediately stepped forward and set fire to the house.
All this happened too fast, Bai Lidu was not mentally prepared, originally thought that the Russian soldiers should still arrest the people this time, but he didn't expect that in broad daylight, he would directly kill people and set fire to grab food.
Bai Lidu looked around, and saw that there were fires in many places in the distance, and it seemed that he had to hurry up and improve the efficiency of killing the enemy.
Directly select the No. 1 phalanx on the left side of the front row in the picture, and a little bit towards the position of the Russian soldiers, this phalanx composed of 100 people immediately rushed over, with the blessing of Bai Lidu's god of war Bai Qi's light, the marching speed of this phalanx is naturally not slow compared with the enemy.
A dozen Russian soldiers had apparently noticed all this, and before they could make a shooting move, they were killed on the spot by a sudden burst of crossbow arrows.
Bai Lidu, who didn't make a move on the side, only had one feeling, and that was fast! It's faster than killing it yourself!
Seeing that several bags next to the corpses of the Russian army were actually flashing, Bai Lidu also quickly stepped forward to pick them up one by one, and found that they were really grain bags.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Bai Lidu did not dare to delay the time at all, seeing that the left hand side has the most fire points, and the large troops of the Russian army should have burned all the way from that side, so he waved his fingers and commanded the three phalanxes to kill over there......
