"I guess I was really right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Bishop Zachari's eyes widened slightly, looking at the troops who appeared on the edge of the city wall and stood with huge shields, forming a shield wall, but the corners of his mouth suddenly brought a mocking smile: "What era are they still stuck in?" ”

"The Middle Ages." The face of the captain of the town militia behind him was even more pleasant, and he didn't have the solemn expression he had before, because he looked at the shield walls, and the appearance of the heavily armed shield and sword warriors behind them, as well as the appearance of the heavily armored shield and sword warriors.

This kind of tactics of the backward era, this equipment of the backward era, even in the late Middle Ages in Europe in the previous life, has been completely abolished, perhaps even if such heavy warriors and heavy knights were still popular in Europe in the early and middle periods, but in fact, in the late Middle Ages, all such tactics and equipment have been abolished.

In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was already the time when arquebuses and spearmen, as well as cavalry and artillery came to show off their might, whether it was the Spanish phalanx or the Swedish phalanx, they had clearly told the world that the seemingly indestructible hoplites, in fact, had little tactical significance, let alone real strategic significance.

"Onward! Advance! ”

On the ruins of the collapsed city wall in the distance, the warriors holding large shields in front of them were slowly walking forward, and the infantry wearing heavy armor and carrying kite shields in the back also slightly raised these thin wooden shields covered with iron sheets to protect the top of their heads and upper bodies, and also moved slowly behind.

And just behind, archers and crossbowmen in light leather armor also rushed up to stand on the ruins, and began to organize their quivers and quivers, ready to shoot at any time, and also intended to support these hoplites in front of them.

They all had confident smiles on their faces, this was the armor and shield they had spent a huge amount of money on the armor and shields made by the dwarves, ordinary bows and crossbows had no effect at all, and even they had experimented with them, even if it was a dwarven musket, it could not cause any damage to them within a range of ten meters!

Even if they were within a range of ten meters, most of the bullets fired by the dwarven muskets were directly embedded in the thick wooden shield held in the front row, because the wooden shield was as thick as 1.5 centimeters, which was quite strong.

More than sixty heavily armed infantrymen, with thick wooden shields in both hands, more than 400 heavily armored warriors in the back, carrying irises, shields and scimitars, and behind were more than 300 archers and crossbowmen, moving very slowly, but their advance was very regular, as they had practiced many times.

Even behind the crossbowmen, more than 300 heavily armored warriors wearing heavy armor and holding irises appeared and formed a distance behind them, as if supervising the battle, monitoring the troops in front, and at the same time acting as a reserve, ready to forward to support or respond.

These enemies were well prepared, as they had already practiced many times in order to take over the fortress and take full control of the Swamp into their own hands, thus threatening the entire Yuqiao River.

As long as their campaign is successful, it represents the success of the overall tactics, especially after being immune to the strongest attack of Cape City, that is, the attack of those muskets, they will continue to launch new attacks along the Yuqiao River or along the coastal road, and still use similar tactics.

The large shield is heavily armored, sacrificing the speed of attack, using the strongest protection to resist the enemy's muskets, and then closing in on the enemy, cutting down those musketeers who are not wearing armor at all, but only wearing cloth clothes, to the ground!

"But they're really naïve."

Zachari still had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at the town militia who were busy behind him, and asked loudly, "Have you all moved down?" ”

"Ten 7-pounder light guns, all of them have been arranged!"

The town militia behind also responded in unison, and at the same time, many people on the side of the low wall kicked down the obstacles in front of them, moving the sandbags to the sides, allowing the 7-pounder light gun on the gun truck to slowly push out, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the outside, forming a gun position.

Against these hoplites, the modern troops are simply handy, because since they completely abandoned these things, they have already shown that this kind of hoplites are outdated.

Although those guys holding large shields can indeed defend against flintlock pistols and buckshot, it is precisely these large shields that directly limit the mobility of these heavily armed warriors, and they are also arranged in dense formations, trying to protect themselves, which is simply a fool and ridicule of modern troops.

Especially, when Zachari and them still have artillery, they just laugh in their hearts when they see such a scene, these enemies are simply artillerymen, living targets!

"Ready, ready to fire!"

Ten 7-pounder light guns were prepared, and this small type of artillery was generally used as cavalry guns to quickly support the line infantry and strike at the enemy's infantry.

Now, they have finally begun to play their greatest effect, because no matter how small the caliber is, they can still use gunpowder to bombard the heavy solid cast iron shells, so that those enemies who are lined up in a dense front can see what real artillery is!

"Fire!"

Zachari didn't hesitate at all, looking at the enemies who were walking step by step, slowing down their pace and advancing speed because of the chaotic shantytown, and waved his raised hand fiercely forward.

The sound of burning fire ropes sounded instantly, and just when those enemies were still enjoying themselves and felt that their tactics were very strong, and they were advancing step by step, in front of the main body of the fortress, on the defensive line set up by the town militia, there were also explosions one after another.

"Boom Boom T

Although it was not as loud as the three huge explosions before, in the midst of the spewed cannon flames, ten black shadows burst out in an instant, hitting the thick wooden shield in front of it without the slightest pause, and the large wooden shield that was originally made of thick wood was instantly torn apart, turning into pieces of wood and scattering fiercely around.

A thick blood mist appeared, a large area of blood splashed, and the warrior who was originally walking forward with a wooden shield in both hands also had a fist-sized gap in his chest, and even the iris-shaped shields behind him, as well as the scale armor and chain mail, each had a flesh-and-blood hole!
