All eyes are on for an exciting time to come!

In the camp of the Fifth Legion, a huge octagonal array is spread out on the plain, covering an area of several square kilometers, and the soldiers in the formation are dressed in different colors, performing a large-scale dance in the morning light, which is very beautiful! In the eyes of many, this is an improved version of the circular array, and the various costumes are only to facilitate the unified command of the commander.

The circle formation is indeed the strongest defensive formation, the biggest feature of the formation is that the formation eye is in the center of the circle, all the surrounding units must protect the safety of the formation eye, and the weakness is also obvious, that is, the formation has almost no offensive ability, and can only be beaten passively.

But under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, no matter how much the circular formation can resist beating, it is impossible not to break the eye of the formation in a daytime. In the eyes of many, the response of the Fifth Army was nothing short of a big joke.

The commander of the army, Mevo, looked at his gossip array, looked at his 32,000 army, and on his left chest, everyone wore the Warrior Medal issued by the marshal himself, and all the soldiers who wore this medal felt a kind of magical power, which made almost everyone high-spirited, and felt that they were simply invincible.

Looking at the Arad coalition camp again, the 32,000 cavalry were arranged in a three-arrow front formation, with a protrusion in the middle and a slight backdrop on both sides, which was basically the sharpest offensive formation of the large army.

No matter how thick the shield is, it has no attack power, and in front of the spear, it will only be passively beaten, and there will always be a time when flaws are exposed.

Many of the guests on the podium began to talk, and Higg, Blue Fairy, DeLongso, Rogson, and Snorlin also stood in the left front of the podium, their eyes locked on the coming fierce scene, ignoring the gossip of others.

This battlefield is like a stage for the noble to watch the arena, and compared to the arena of men and beasts, this kind of battle intent that seems to have condensed all the air before the war makes people feel more enthusiastic, even crazy!

After the verifiers from both sides took the stage to read out some rules, and then confirmed that the numbers and classes of both sides were correct, a fair battle was about to begin.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on this plain, the Arad coalition camp located south of the infantry formation of the Fifth Legion sounded the sound of horns, and the elite of 32,000 iron cavalry led by Curdes himself came from south to north, towards the defensive camp of the Fifth Legion, fortunately, it rained after autumn, otherwise, the dust stirred up by the cavalry charge might completely annihilate everything on the battlefield.

The infantry positions of the Fifth Legion's camp remained unmoved, as if they were just waiting for their opponents to attack them, and they were completely cowering.

"Kill-" With the earth-shattering sound of killing, the cavalry that charged at high speed got closer and closer to the infantry phalanx. Undoubtedly, this is also a carefully selected and intensively trained cavalry army of Curdes, and the light and heavy cavalry are half and half, like three off-string arrows, straight into the infantry phalanx presided over by Maevo.

Curdes was also a fierce general in the Fourth Army, and step by step from the low-level officer to the position of deputy marshal by relying on military merits, such a cavalry force in his hands was simply invincible. It is clear that the light cavalry cut the infantry phalanx, and the heavy cavalry was responsible for cutting and killing the infantry. The current infantry phalanx seems to be rigorous, but in the face of such a disparity in strength, the opponent's formation will soon become chaotic, and those infantry will also become scum under the iron hooves of their own cavalry, at least in the eyes of Curdes, in the eyes of many cavalry soldiers he leads, this is the case!

Just as the cavalry was about to approach the infantry camp of the Fifth Legion, the infantry formation suddenly changed! Following the direction of the arrows of the three main attacks of the cavalry, the infantry phalanx unexpectedly moved out of the way of the three avenues and allowed the cavalry to rush in.

The other shieldmen who are not in the direction of the opponent's main attack position have basically not changed, except that the shieldmen have spears diagonally planted behind them to cope with sporadic frontal attacks.

The only change in the entire large array is to give up three passages for the three-way army to enter the real middle of the main attack, and the entire octagonal large array does not seem to have changed much in the eyes of people outside.

But for the cavalry army that entered the formation, it was far from this. When I first entered the big array, it was a straight avenue, and on both sides of the avenue were shield barriers that were one and a half people high! The cavalry advanced rapidly along the avenue and did not collide directly with the large formation. The avenue was hundreds of meters wide, allowing the cavalry to gallop through it, but their marching route was severely restricted. Near the shield barrier at the edge of the avenue, a long hook and sickle stretched out, cutting off or blocking the weakest foot of the war horse near the barrier, and behind the shield barrier, experienced veterans stabbed the horses and knights who had fallen to the ground with spears and spears, and pierced deep into their thick armor.

But for the cavalry, this loss was insignificant, and the Curdes could afford to pay the price they had to pay to get into battle. What puzzled Curdes was that his cavalry did not collide with this superstar array with three sharp swords as he expected, and then the opponent immediately confused, but like a punch on cotton, the other party did not fight with him.

When the cavalry that had been charging forward entered the distance of two or three hundred meters from the large formation, the front barrier separated the road hundreds of meters wide along the left front and right front, and the shield barriers on both sides formed two straight avenues with a width of sixty or seventy meters, and the cavalry could still continue to charge, but they needed to reduce their speed so that they could turn to the left front or the right front road. The cavalry was still galloping, but there was still no collision with the large array. The road in the large formation is divided into two, and the angle of the diversion and the width of the road are all taken into account that the cavalry in the high-speed charge can just meet the turn without risking to hit the diversion point.

The depressed cavalry army was gradually diverted, and three arrows were now six arrows! But it was not over, after continuing to gallop for two or three hundred meters, I saw that the road in front of me was divided into two again, and a road about forty meters wide appeared again in front of the left and right, and there were still high shield barriers on both sides. The direction of the road diversion this time was obviously much larger than the first one, and the cavalry still needed to reduce their speed so that they could divert along the road.

The cavalry in the large array did not want to storm the shield phalanx of the large array, if this could quickly crush the opponent in front of him and plunge the enemy into chaos. However, the cavalry attack shield phalanx needs a frontal impact to be effective, and the current shield phalanx does not leave any frontal impact on the opponent's cavalry at all, because the cavalry in the formation always has a way to charge forward, and the large array does not block it.

The more you fall into the big formation, the more diversion points there are, and the narrower the road becomes, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...... And every time the cavalry passes through the diversion node, it must slow down and divert in turn. The speed advantage of the cavalry was gradually lost in the diversion again and again, and the cavalry in the rear was faster than the cavalry in front, compressing the effective spacing of the cavalry, making the distance between the cavalry and the cavalry smaller and smaller, and the space to freely display combat power was also getting smaller and smaller.

If you look down from the air, the entire process of entering the formation is much clearer:

First of all, the cavalry formed a three-arrow front formation, mainly in the middle, and assisted the three-way attack army on both sides, starting from a place nearly two thousand meters away to launch a full-speed charge against the infantry phalanx, and at a distance of several hundred meters from the infantry phalanx, the front of the infantry army began to give way to a hundred-meter-wide passage on the road of the cavalry charge, flanked by heavy shield barriers. The three-way cavalry rushed into the three passages left by the infantry phalanx as promised, and the stragglers who broke away from the three-way attack formation sporadically attacked the barrier in front of the infantry army, but the grasshoppers shook the trees, which was meaningless.

Secondly, after the three-way cavalry rushing into the phalanx advanced two or three hundred meters, they would be slowed down and diverted by the shield barrier, and the road formed by the shield barrier changed from one hundred meters wide to two to sixty or seventy meters wide; The diverted cavalry continued to charge forward, two or three hundred meters away, and then continued to be divided into two forty-meter-wide roads, while the cavalry continued to slow down; Then thirty meters wide, twenty meters wide, ten meters wide...... Finally, a single column of cavalry was formed, and the cavalry had completely lost any impact velocity. The three cavalry were divided into six routes, then twelve routes, then thirty-six routes, one hundred and eight routes, and three hundred and twenty-four routes...... In the end, the three-way cavalry that entered the formation would converge in the large array, and the entire large array was a labyrinth of thousands of ravines, completely dividing the cavalry.

The infantry phalanx never ceased to attack the cavalry phalanx, at first slashing or tripping the cavalry close to the shield barrier, and then the pikemen stabbing the fallen cavalry. At first, the road formed by the barrier was too wide, and the effect of the hook and sickle was not obvious, but as the cavalry advanced deeper, the road became narrower and narrower, and almost all the cavalry were next to the barrier, and behind the shield barrier that was more than one person high, the attack of the hook and sickle and spear posed a great threat to the cavalry. The cavalry was helpless in the face of a shield barrier that was more than one person high, because the barrier would always only appear on the sides of the cavalry and not directly in front, and the charging effect of the cavalry's greatest advantage was completely wiped out by this tactic, and the rest of the infantry army was to begin to gradually eliminate these cavalry entering the formation.

SMS Elite Veterans were originally a nightmare for Curdes, and they were and still are in the Pamela Plateau, and in the face of their old opponents, these veterans have a psychological advantage. Behind the high shield barriers, the veterans stabbed spears and spears and began a frenzied assassination of the cavalry that had been completely divided.

The three-way army, like three torrents, rushed into the desert wilderness with ravines and ravines, at first the momentum was like a rainbow, and then gradually diverted by thousands of ravines to divert the torrents, the more they were divided, the more they were divided, the more the water flowed slower, and then gradually absorbed by the arid wasteland land. The water at the end of the front end was slow, but the subsequent torrent continued to rush into the desert wilderness. If the torrent can continue, sooner or later the arid wasteland will be saturated, and the saturated wasteland will eventually be flooded by the torrent. Otherwise, sooner or later, this torrent will be absorbed by the wasteland.

But the torrent is still turbulent, although the torrent at the front end has been diverted and slowly absorbed, but the subsequent torrent is still extremely powerful. 32,000 cavalry, where is this gossip array that can accommodate it?

The advantage of the infantry army phalanx is that several people deal with one cavalry, forming a short-term advantage in troops, coupled with the protection of heavy shield soldiers, the cavalry has no way at all. But what if the cavalry army rushed in?

But the infantry phalanx of this Bagua Array is not an immutable desert field, their goal is to hold the cavalry phalanx and attack them for a day, which is victory, and killing and killing the opponent is not the ultimate goal. Therefore, many of the cavalry in front were terrified at the same time, and suddenly found that they had penetrated the entire infantry phalanx and rushed out of this infantry phalanx like a huge spider web.

The cavalry in the rear was charging into the infantry formation, while many cavalry in front penetrated from all corners of the infantry formation, and cavalry penetrated from the east, west, and north. The infantry army strictly implemented the principle of spitting out if it could not be eaten, and would never be greedy for merit and kill the enemy.

More and more cavalry rushed into the army formation, and more and more cavalry were spit out from the other three sides by the infantry army. The entire Bagua Array's infantry array was like a huge sieve, sifting through the 32,000 cavalry of Curdes.

Breaking out of the phalanx, Curdes thought that the whole phalanx was just a tour of himself, although there were some losses, but the losses were not big, and he did not hurt any vitality, and he re-organized other formations to attack according to the opponent's tactics, and believed that the chances of victory were still very great. The main purpose of the opponent's formation is to consume their own time, so that they can defend themselves before dark and not be killed.

More and more cavalry broke out of the infantry formation, and more and more cavalry rushed in from the north, when the last cavalry charged into the infantry formation, the infantry camp sounded a rapid drum, and then Curdes was surprised to find that there were few of his own cavalry to break through from the infantry formation, and the infantry formation seemed to close all the entrances and exits, and surrounded the four or five thousand cavalry still trapped in his own formation.

Yes, the Bagua Array closed all its entrances and exits, and no longer allowed any cavalry to enter or leave. Maevo clearly knew that he could not completely eat Curdes' 32,000 army in one bite, so he had to stabilize his formation and release most of the cavalry, and then after the opponent's cavalry completely charged into the big formation, he would close the Bagua Array and digest the four or five thousand people who were still in the formation of the Bagua Array.

The energy contained in the 32,000 cavalry was too great, and Mevo knew that he was not sure that he could fully control this force, so he could only release some of it. If you can't eat too much at one time, then look at the dishes and eat, and digest the part you can digest first.
