The first country to use the phalanx in warfare was the San Jose Empire. Before them, the army usually fought with noble knights who went up to kill for a while, and then a group of soldiers followed in a disorderly manner. For the first time, the military strategists of San Jose lined up the ranks of soldiers in a tight phalanx, and placed the noble knights in the center or rear of the phalanx to direct the battle.

As a result, the San Jose infantry phalanx became a powerful unit on the mainland. Now, the thirteenth regiment of Koster is using this tactic. Fifteen hundred soldiers, armed to the teeth, lined up in a neat array, rushed into the line of the miners' rebels like a stormy wave.

The first line of defense of the miner rebels is actually composed of soldiers who have experienced many battles and are not afraid of death, equipped with refined weapons produced by the smelter of the Tara Basin, but the long-range bows and arrows have not been able to cause any major damage to the opponent's phalanx, and when everyone is still amazed by the way the other party resists the bows and arrows, hundreds of first-row soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment have already penetrated into the opponent's defense line.

Of course, the miners' regiment was not paper-paste, and after a period of panic, the soldiers in the back finally stabilized their position, and the advance of the thirteenth regiment was hindered. The leader of the miners' regiment, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, could not help but feel relieved, and his previous combat experience had taught him that once the enemy's primary attack wave was stopped, then the advantage would obviously come to the defender. After all, the losses that the attacker will have to bear will always be greater.

Although the miners have won many battles in Mosat, they have experienced only a few battles after all, but even with a battle-hardened army in this position, they cannot predict what will happen next.

The pace of the 13th Regiment charge phalanx gradually slowed, and the resistance of the soldiers in the front row slowly increased, and after looking at the situation on the battlefield, Jon, who had cut down an enemy soldier, looked at the position of Rickon's battalion flag (Note 1), and shouted loudly, "Solid, solid!" As Jon shouted, the sound of the bugle began to become muffled, and the rhythm slowed down. The long sound of the military horn conveyed instructions to the soldiers of the 13th Regiment, and at the same time confused the soldiers on the other side, not knowing what the Kaman Army was going to do.

With the change of the rhythm of the trumpet, the soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment who were still charging just now stopped one after another, and even took a few steps back, and the black rushing cart behind the array, the position began to move forward, and the rows of nearby soldiers actually began to hide behind the rushing cart, and about fifty rushing carts, pulled by horses, came to the position of the first line.

"What's the situation?" Of course, the soldiers of the miners' regiment did not understand, they had never seen horses with full armor on the battlefield, and if the nobles' horses were wearing iron armor, they would sacrifice mobility and thus be easily attacked, not to mention, these iron-armored horses were also pulling black cars, what the hell was this, I am afraid that all the soldiers of the miners' regiment were thinking about this question at this time.

The phalanx's charge did not stop, but became slow but neat, and the positions of the first line were now all black rushing carts, with soldiers following on the side or behind the rushing carts. The battle line re-approached the first platoon of soldiers of the miners' regiment. The unknown soldier of the miner regiment used the machete in his hand to slash at the black rushing car, but in the face of the iron armor on the horse, a knife could only bring up a trace of sparks, and could not cause a little damage.

Before they could react, black arrows stretched out from the opening of the black rushing car, and there were three openings the size of a shield in the front and back of the rushing car, and each opening stretched out three arrows at this time, and the arrows shone in the red sun, like hideous monsters.

"Crossbow arrows!" shouted the fast-responding miner soldier, but before he finished speaking, there was a "crunch" piercing sound, and a crossbow arrow "swished" through the air, and an arrow pierced the soldier in front of him, and the force was not over and continued to fly backwards, hitting the second person and the third person, until the fourth soldier who reacted quickly raised the shield in his hand, which was able to block the force of the crossbow arrow's flight and the three dead people strung on the crossbow arrow.

The rest of the soldiers did not have time to panic, because those bloodthirsty crossbow arrows flew away from the carriage at this time, and the arrows that flashed with cold light took lives one by one like Satan, and the rebels' formation was in chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Kaman soldiers in the rear, unhurriedly moved with the rushing cart, cutting off the heads of the fleeing miner rebels who were shot by crossbow arrows one by one. After a short period of time, the miners' rebels at the forefront ceased to exist, and more than 1,000 people were wiped out.

When the first crossbow arrow in the rushing cart was fired, the commander of the miners' regiment commanded in the back row, and the soldiers in front fell down like wheat harvesting, and the regimental commander was also greatly stimulated. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the back row to retreat fifty degrees to form a formation, and all the remaining shields were also gathered and placed in the first row. After a series of arrangements were made, when the head of the miner regiment looked back, all the soldiers in the front rows had become corpses, and those black monsters were still moving forward unhurriedly.

"Is this the power of the long-range support wing?" Feida looked at the battlefield in the distance in shock, although he had been in the army for a long time, but Feida, who had always been responsible for taking care of Koster's daily life and guarding his safety, had not carefully understood what the long-range support wing of the thirteenth regiment was for.

"This is your remote support wing?" Rika on the side was also curious and shocked.

Chestter smiled, "Actually, I just thought it was fun to take such a name, their tactics obviously have no connection with long-range support, but it can be said that it is short-range support, but it doesn't matter, it's just a name, you can know how they use it." ”

Unlike Feida, who was only happy for Koster, the female commander of Mossat, Rika's heart began to ripple, "Just more than a thousand people and dozens of carriages can achieve such an effect, if their entire New Sixth Army uses this method of warfare, I'm afraid even Desik's wolf cavalry will have to retreat!"

Of course, Kest didn't care what Rika was thinking at this time, after all, this was the first time he had commanded a full-fledged battle, or an encounter in the field. Although the situation on the battlefield is still slightly advantageous, Kerst does not dare to take it lightly.

The commander of the miners' rebels, that is, the head of the miners' regiment, is not a fool, he sees the power of the other side, but he is also well aware of his own advantage, that is, the advantage of troops. Almost without the slightest hesitation, he ordered the heralds to move to the rear to rescue them, and at the same time ordered the front-line soldiers of his new organization to withstand the onslaught of the Kaman army. The crossbow arrows in the black carriage are indeed powerful, but after strengthening their defenses, their attack power is still limited.

Koster, who was watching the battle from a distance on the top of the mountain, witnessed the reaction of the enemy army and kept shaking his head, "It's useless, the enemy commander's reaction is quite fast, and he knows how to use his life to block the arrow port of the rushing car." But he didn't have the ability to see that the value of the charge was not the first piercing formation, it was something that the San Jose hoplites, the Steppenwolf riders, or the army of magicians from a thousand years ago had come to do. ”

Koster watched the battle on the top of the hill and thought, the miner rebels on the front line were not having a good time, the crossbow arrows shot from the black carriage were the charms of life, and the soldiers fell and their heads were cut off by the Kaman army in the back row, and the strict military discipline required them not to take a step back.

Fortunately, their prime minister did not give up on them, and when the camp of the miners was about to be broken through, Tours in the rear sent two regiments of reinforcements to rush up as soon as possible, and there were two other regiments in the rear ready to deploy at any time. The advantage of the rebels is that they have enough troops, which Kester naturally expected. As the rhythm of the trumpet changed again, Jon commanded the soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment to change formation again, this time, everyone still retreated and hid behind all the rushing vehicles, and all the rushing vehicles began to move closer, forming a long black dragon on the battlefield.

Jon chose to go on the defensive, and a group of soldiers, actually on the defensive line of the miner rebels, built a defensive line based on the gourd, and entangled each other to the death.

The soldiers of the two regiments newly sent by Tours approached the battlefield at a rapid pace. However, the topography of Chaos Ridge determined that it was impossible for 6,000 people to spread all at once. Although it is already a plain area out of the valley mouth, this small plain is not very large, and there are still a few hills around it, which is determined by the characteristic topography of the southwestern hilly area of the mainland. The two newly replenished regiments can still only rely on the back of the miners' regiment and supplement a small number of vacancies.

At this time, the formation of the thirteenth regiment had been adjusted, and the rushing cars were close to each other, end to end, and the long black dragon formed was in front of all the rebels. The ironwood material of the rushing car determines its hardness, which is not something that the machetes and spears in the hands of the rebels can penetrate, and through the gaps between the rushing vehicles and the space between the chassis, the spears of the soldiers of the thirteenth regiment keep piercing out, and the crossbow arrows through the shooting port of the rushing car also harvest life without stopping for a moment, and the battlefield enters the stage of rejection.

Just as both sides were temporarily unable to move forward, the sound of a "woo-woo" was heard behind the Kamans, and Jon was overjoyed to hear the trumpet, while the rebels were shocked.

Jon looked back to see that the command flag had changed. Although he didn't know how the commander had arranged it, Jon's confidence in the commander made Jon think too much, and he wiped the blood from his visor and raised the morale of the soldiers.

Behind the phalanx, which was invisible to both the rebels and Jon, Rober's second battalion from the left rear and Duncan's main force from the right rear, were rapidly approaching the battlefield, ready to press the miner rebels' formation.

Perhaps, Tours had attached great importance to the Kaman reinforcements, but he still did not expect that the Kaman soldiers of only two regiments would completely suppress his own side.

Note 1: The smallest independent combat unit of the Shang Alliance army is the battalion, and the battalion commander is generally required to be a noble officer. Each battalion has its own battalion flag, which is used to identify itself, and of course, many times, they will choose the battalion commander's family heraldic flag.
