The three phalanxes in the back row gradually pressed forward with a slow but firm pace, resisting the enemy, and attracting sufficient attention, Luo Ming finally gave the order to let the two phalanxes that were originally in the front row retreat.

But this is not to let the entire phalanx retreat, but to let the soldiers in the first third of the phalanx retreat while the other phalanxes are pressing up to cover.

They were even allowed to drop their spears and quickly retreat empty-handed and run to the rear.

The rest of the people in the phalanx could not move an inch, and they had to maintain the state of the spear phalanx.

When this trick was first trained, whoever messed up, or retreated stupidly with the soldiers in the front row, would be beaten with a stick in public, and the second time would be whipped.

As for doing so on the battlefield, the officers will directly kill him as a deserter, and through repeated training and warnings, this incident will be deeply introduced into their memory, and they will not fall into chaos at this time.

The remaining two-thirds of the soldiers in the phalanx quickly set up their spears to intercept the enemy, and when the enemy saw this scene, they thought that the phalanx had finally broken up, and was about to follow the "rout" to chase and kill, but found that there was another wave of hedgehog-like dense spears and pestles in front of them.

Although the spear array is relatively thin, it is impossible to break through in a short period of time.

At the rear of the phalanx, the militia immediately arranged for the wounded soldiers to rest on the side, and at the same time distributed some spare spears to those who had lost their weapons, and some of the militia also replenished them, and then quickly replenished to the rear of their original phalanx, so that the number of people in the phalanx was almost full.

With the additional forces behind them, the two phalanxes basically regained most of their combat effectiveness, and after a short stalemate with the enemy, they marched forward to the sound of the drums and trumpets of the military band and the slogans of the officers.

This time, it was no longer the Berans who charged over and crashed into the spear formation, but the spear array pressed towards the Berans who were standing in place, and the soldiers stretched their spears slightly, leaving the enemy exhausted.

If you are not careful, even the soldiers holding shields will be overwhelmed and pierced through the body. Heavy infantry in heavy armor and near-invulnerability may also be stabbed in a weak spot that lacks protection or simply pushed to the ground by the force of a spear, and before they can get up, they will be trampled on by enemy or friendly troops, and gradually turn into flesh.

The originally menacing Beran army was unable to advance in front of the phalanx at this moment, and there were signs of being forced to retreat, and every second there were Beran people who were pierced, stabbed down, and trampled, and the Belan commanders who saw this scene in the rear were all worried.

"Damn...... With the reserves and all the cavalry, we must fight!"

Seeing that the old mercenary captain beside him did not immediately respond to the order, the young viscount yelled again, and threw a money bag from his bosom into his arms in a rage, and he finally moved.

To tell the truth, the young viscount was not unfamiliar with military affairs, he had received an orthodox military education, but he was inexperienced, but now even he could see that the situation was not good.

In this battle, the infantry casualties probably did not reach 200, but they accounted for only a fraction of the total number of infantry, but the loss of morale was particularly bad.

In the face of the spear array, ordinary soldiers could not rush in at all, and could only be stabbed unilaterally, which would greatly hit the self-confidence of the soldiers. And now the spear array is still advancing, which is even more terrifying, and it has frightened individual soldiers to desert and run back.

Artillery spouts projectiles, and the soldiers are always on the lookout for fear that they will be the next casualty victims.

If you continue to fight at this pace, you may collapse at any time.

Now it is necessary to send enough fresh troops, especially cavalry, to storm the enemy's positions in order to achieve a sufficient boost to morale.

Soon, the cavalry remained in loose formation, moving at the speed of an infantry trot, while the last infantry reserve trotted after them, marching to the left side of the Loming position—and to them, the right.

They had already stormed the right side of Luoming's position once, and as a result, a phalanx of infantry had rushed over to reinforce them, and now there were so many troops that it was impossible to break through.

So, if you change the direction and bring more people, you may be able to successfully destroy an artillery position, isn't that what they think?

Luo Ming's thinking did not simply stop at this level, he realized that he was a little preconceived, so he discarded this view, and then rethought why the other party acted in this direction.

"What is the most important thing for the people of Beran...... That's right, it's positive, it's positive!"

It dawned on him, and then he had a double expression of joy and sinisterness.

Rejoice because you see through the enemy's conspiracy, and sinister because you think about how to reciprocate.

Now Belan's army was unable to break through the phalanx in a head-to-head confrontation, and was beaten back gradually, and in a few minutes it might begin to crumble. It is impossible to reverse this situation by simply destroying an artillery position in Lommin.

If the Berans don't want to lose like that, then they must rescue the frontal troops, boost their morale, and even defeat Lomin's phalanx, which is their only way out.

"It is true that it is dangerous for the phalanx to be attacked on the flanks. Aya sneered, "Especially when the phalanx is advancing, the flanks will be weaker, if you seize the opportunity to raid, first collapse a phalanx, and then coerce the rout to drive a chain reaction, the outcome of this battle is indeed still unknown." ”

"But now that I'm aware of it, I'm not going to have this flaw anymore. ”

Luo Ming stretched out his hand to the empty air, as if he had picked up a chess piece and smashed it on the chessboard: "This is the last step before the general!"

He immediately turned his head and gave the order, and the four heralds hurried in on horseback to relay his message to the heads of the various military formations.

Soon, the advance of the phalanx gradually slowed down, and it seemed as if the momentum of the shock was gradually exhausted.

The Beran cavalry and infantry rushing towards this side changed direction halfway through, and a part of the infantry continued to fight towards the artillery position, while the rest of the infantry and cavalry all changed direction and rushed towards the flank of the Loming phalanx.

"Stop on the spot! Pay attention to the front left side of the defense!" The officer who received Luo Ming's order had already expected it, and immediately gave instructions, and the spear phalanx, which had already slowed down a lot, immediately successfully stopped its momentum, stood still in place, and then began to change formation.

The Belan cavalry saw it in their eyes, and was afraid that they would organize this spear formation in advance, but now they could no longer consider it, the situation on the frontal battlefield was extremely urgent, and their side must make a breakthrough!
