About 1,000 Spartan heavy infantry were recruited, and even if the Spartan heavy infantry had a discount for the exclusive Spartan civilization, the price was still slightly more expensive than the Greek heavy infantry, but when Li Liguo inquired about the introduction of the Spartan heavy infantry, he felt that the extra war coins were worth it!

Name of army: Spartan hoplite

Armament: bronze armor, iron short sword, spear of about 2 meters, large round shield with a diameter of more than 1 meter, and a Greek-style bronze helmet

Loyalty: Absolute obedience (Exclusive to all classes of Spartan civilization Loyalty is automatically carried up one level!) ）

Morale: Fanaticism (The morale value of all classes of the exclusive Spartan civilization is automatically carried up one level, as long as the commander does not escape, the Spartan civilization of the Bronze Age can withstand at least 4% of the casualties!) ）

Specialty: Proficient in the Greek heavy infantry phalanx, proficient in melee combat, physically strong, disciplined, and strong in learning new tactics!

Notes: These people are the most elite infantry in the category of normal people in the Spartan civilization, they are strong-willed, experienced on the battlefield, and have stronger combat effectiveness than melee, and are deeply influenced by Spartan traditions!

Spartan tradition: there are only Spartans killed on the battlefield, there are no kneeling Spartans!

When their allegiance to the king was killed or fled, these loyal Spartan hoplites would lose their faith and collapse completely!

Only the king who dares to face the challenge can truly exert all the power of these Spartans who can't do anything but kill!

After accepting the pledge of allegiance from the newly recruited Spartan heavy infantry, Li Liguo had General Ares called. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General Ares, our Spartan strength has grown again, I will hand over those Spartan warriors to you to command, how do you plan to arrange and train them?"

Ares stood straight in front of Li Liguo, who was sitting, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we have seen the power of the super spear on the frontal battlefield, in that kind of group charge, the power of the spear with an extra two meters when charging and attacking is much higher than that of the original Greek spear phalanx, so I want the newly recruited Spartan heavy infantry to replace the super spear captured on the battlefield to form a super spear phalanx similar to the enemy's!" ”

"Well, yes, in the future, let's call that kind of super spear phalanx the Macedonian phalanx, Ares, do you want to organize the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard into a Macedonian phalanx?"

Macedonia?

Ares wondered, wasn't that an inconspicuous ordinary state in a Greek city-state?

Of course, since it was named by His Majesty the King himself, let's call it that, anyway, there is no such state as Macedonia in this world......

"No, my majesty, the legendary Spartan Janissaries are the essence of our Spartan kingdom, all of them are warriors with one as ten, if they are simply formed into a Macedonian phalanx, they will not be able to play their greatest role!

Although the Macedonian phalanx is powerful in attack, the soldiers of the phalanx are also restrained by the phalanx, once the enemy attacks from the weak flank or back, the soldiers in the phalanx will have no choice but to become a slaughtered existence!

However, the Macedonian phalanx is about indomitable and concerted efforts, and it must be composed of experienced veterans on the battlefield in order to truly exert the power of the Macedonian phalanx!

Therefore, the subordinates feel that our Spartan heavy infantry is very suitable for forming a Macedonian phalanx, and the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard can be used as a variety of flexible troops, such as: scouts, assault infantry, His Majesty's guards, etc., on the battlefield, the legendary Spartan Janissaries are definitely used to open the breakthrough of the enemy's military formation!

In the minds of his subordinates, the legendary Spartan Janissaries were the vanguard and sentinel when marching, and in skirmishes, no one was the opponent of the legendary Spartan warriors!

We will be able to ensure the safety of the marching army and prevent any ambushes and surprise attacks!

When fighting in formation, the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard can be used as a general reserve, and when the enemy shows a flaw or begins to attack, these brave warriors can make a roundabout breakthrough or even outflanking according to the battle situation!

At the critical moment, he can also be used as the 'cannon fodder' to drag the enemy's elite, and for the victory of Sparta, including me, it is an existence that can be sacrificed! ”

Li Liguo listened to General Ares's profound explanation, and finally handed over the command of the army to him, in terms of tactics, this professional general is much better than his own half-!

With the increase in the number of soldiers under Li Liguo's command, he has already felt the limitations of his command ability, and when the number of people increases, it is simply a dream to command each squad accurately!

I can only roughly invest and withdraw according to the type of troops......

And Ares, obviously very good at the command of soldiers, just take a hedge with the enemy's light cavalry, the strength of the legendary Spartan warriors is certainly an important factor in zero casualties, but the cooperation between the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard soldiers is an important factor that can cause their own zero casualties!

These are the personal commanding arts of General Ares!

Li Liguo, who only did strategic planning after thinking about it, discussed with Ares: "On the battlefield, the throwing guns of the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard soldiers are very accurate, and they can disrupt the enemy's formation first, so that the enemy feels panic without touching our army, should we let every legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard configure more throwing guns?" ”

Ares shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, our Spartan warriors are indeed very good at throwing guns, and throwing javelins seems simple and convenient, but! Every javelin throw is actually a great drain on the soldier himself!

Eyesight, waist strength, leg strength, arm strength, etc., throwing a javelin, almost the whole body of the soldier is in a tense state, and any part is straining!

Moreover, the enemies are often professional soldiers wearing armor, not to mention penetrating iron armor and shields, even if you want to accurately hit the target to ensure that you are not cut by the leather armor of the opposing soldiers, it is not so easy!

If you want to penetrate the iron armor or even the shield, the strength of the soldier is very demanding, even the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard soldiers, continuously throwing javelins at the soldiers wearing iron armor and holding shields to ensure the killing efficiency of the enemy, it is unbearable!

With so much power to throw a javelin, it's better to rush in and cut people down!

The main purpose of our Spartans throwing javelins was to break the enemy's tight formation and kill the leader of the opponent's front, causing a certain confusion in the enemy's command!

If we want to kill the enemy with a javelin, unless we are facing a group of unarmored and poorly equipped enemies......

Another point is that in order for the javelin to be lethal, it must be a special iron tip, and we don't seem to have anyone who can build a professional iron piercing javelin! ”
