Chapter 47: Public Enemy One

"Ready~Shoot!"

Two rows of crossbow arrows were fired neatly at the front row of archers on the opposite side, killing and wounding these archers who were only wearing leather armor!

After every battle, Li Liguo searched for the crossbow arrows shot out very carefully, even if he couldn't make this kind of crossbow arrows, it was more than enough to maintain a low-intensity war!

You must know that every time after a battle, the crossbowmen do not have a few salvo opportunities, and the crossbow is too laborious to wind, which is the biggest reason for the slow shooting frequency.

After the commander of the town's army saw that the opponent had a crossbow with a super long range, he reluctantly withdrew the archers who could not reach the enemy, and stood in the front row to become sword and shield soldiers!

Of course, this commander didn't let the sword and shield soldiers take the place of the archers, he quickly mobilized all the cavalry on the flanks and rushed towards the array of crossbowmen!

Li Liguo only discovered at this time that those cavalry were not melee troops, but a group of archers with wooden riding bows!

The speed of the cavalry galloped fast, and the crossbowmen only had time to fire a salvo at it, so they had to retreat and change to the tightly formed Greek heavy infantry phalanx, and then Li Liguo saw that those archers were 30 steps away from the phalanx infantry, they turned their horses' heads in unison, ran sideways, and then shot arrows at the phalanx infantry!

This......

Lao Tzu turned into only being beaten and not fighting back?

Li Liguo's eyes flashed with anger, and once again he transferred the divine arm crossbowmen, and fired a volley of brushes and brushes, shot down more than a dozen archers, and then wound them on the ground!

Those archers suffered a loss and directly turned the target and shot at the crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen of the gods continued to scream and fall, but when the winding was finished, a volley went down, and another group of archers fell from their horses!

The commander of the town's army felt that something was wrong, his cavalry was less than a hundred people in total, and this class of troops was very expensive, and it was not a good deal to fight the casualties with other crossbowmen!

A trumpet sounded, and the archers harassed with bows and arrows withdrew, leaving only more than 30 corpses of their colleagues on the ground, and this time Li Liguo's army had a slight upper hand!

After the Greek heavy infantry and spearmen saw that the other side was repulsed, their morale was greatly boosted and they shouted in unison, and the town commander looked at the opposing army with an ugly face, knowing that the next step was to rely on strength to fight hard!

The sword and shield soldiers of the small town army were in front, and the pikemen were behind, and they pressed up towards Li Liguo in a horizontal formation, and the surviving crossbowmen shot two rounds of crossbow arrows at the opposite side, causing not too many casualties, and then retreated.

Li Liguo saw that the melee troops on the opposite side were coming, and he also ordered the Greek heavy infantry phalanx to attack in an all-out way!

Shields like walls and spears like forests, the Greek heavy infantry phalanx first advanced slowly, then trotted, and finally turned into an accelerated dash within a distance of tens of meters!

The soldiers of the opposite town also bumped into them with determination, obviously they had never been in contact with this kind of Greek heavy infantry before, and they didn't know much about the power of the Greek heavy infantry phalanx!

The Greek heavy infantry phalanx is tighter, and the soldiers cooperate more tacitly, while the array formed by the small town army is just a simple charge next to each other, and the big eyes seem to be not much different, but when they really collide together, the difference between the two is quickly revealed!

Many of the sword and shield soldiers couldn't stand on their feet at all, and were directly knocked backwards by the combined impact of everyone on the opposite side, and then pierced by the spears that followed!

I don't know if the town army is limited by resources or technology, and has not developed heavy iron armor, and its protection is inferior to the spears of the Greek hoplites, with heavy casualties!

But the protective armor of the Greek hoplites, who are still in the Bronze Age, is not very effective against delicate iron spears and iron knives, and the weapons of both sides can deal a lot of damage to the enemy!

However, the Greek heavy infantry phalanx was squeezed forward next to each other, and the 8 columns of soldiers rushed forward one after another, even though the first and second rows of the Greek heavy infantry phalanx were cut off layer after layer, the overall strength of the phalanx continued to assault forward!

And after the first few rows of the town's army were penetrated, the continuity of the array began to appear incongruous, and after a depression somewhere, it was difficult to replenish it, and then this gap would quickly extend to both sides, breaking through the sides of the soldiers next to it to slaughter the town's soldiers!

This kind of scene is very shocking, the soldiers of the town saw their colleagues without resistance being stabbed to the ground by the enemy who burst in from the side, and under the palpitations, they kept moving sideways to a safe position, and in this way, the whole array of the town's army became more and more loose, until they could no longer resist the onslaught of the Greek hoplite phalanx!

Li Liguo held the big sword in his hand, looked at the phalanx infantry who had the upper hand, and said to himself with a smile: "This is the difference between the professional phalanx infantry and the temporary array formed by the basic troops!" As long as the equipment is not in a crushing state, the formation is always the key to winning the head-on collision! ”

As the formation became looser, the town's infantry was even more unable to resist the attack of the Greek heavy infantry phalanx, and soon the resistance turned into a rout, and then a massacre!

The commander of the town did not expect that the battle between the two armies would be so fierce after contact, and the defeat would be so sudden, in a hurry, he pulled the archers up to shoot from the sky, and the cavalry was also transferred by him again, hoping to stop the enemy's phalanx from chasing and killing his own soldiers!

Those soldiers are the foundation of the town, and if they were all left here, the lord would definitely use the commander's head as a night pot!

The Greek heavy infantry phalanx continued to pursue and kill the fleeing town soldiers under Li Liguo's strict orders, and the defeated town infantry could not organize an effective counterattack at all under this kind of pursuit without gaps, even if the soldiers had the idea of resisting, they could not organize it!

The archers rushed over again, still shooting arrows and harassing as before, they were maneuvering and nimble, the Greek heavy infantry could not leave the phalanx to pursue at all, and the whole phalanx turned the spearhead even more nonsense!

But Li Liguo has others!

At the same time as the infantry of their own phalanx won a great victory, the spearmen on both wings, under the high morale, launched a collective charge, just like the war on TV, chaotic and majesticly running forward with spears!

Those archers saw that nearly a thousand spearmen rushed out from the opposite side, and they could no longer shoot arrows and harass the flanks of the opposing infantry leisurely, so they had to turn their horses' heads to avoid the spearmen, and then face the harassing objects towards the charging spearmen, although these soldiers were better to shoot, but Li Liguo was not distressed at all!

However, the resistance of the town's army has clearly not stopped, and a rain of arrows is falling from the sky, and below is a large number of Greek hoplites!
