"Array!" Amid the shouts of their respective detachment leaders, the five Acropolis corps detachments staying in the first line of defense quickly formed a phalanx of large towers and shields, and the heavy javelin held in their right hand as a spear was stretched out from the gap in the shield, forming a gun forest that was much inferior to that of the Boghall pikemen.

After discovering that the Teutonic troops were suspected of throwing all the standard incendiary bombs and ballistae, when the first group of bamboo spear ashigaru began to be only a few dozen meters away from the Teutonic troops in the first line of defense, a lot of bamboo spear ashigaru led by some Japanese samurai and long knife ashigaru armed with simple long knives and more equipped with sufficient equipment rate poured out of the forest, apparently intending to force the Teutonic troops in the first line of defense with numerical superiority.

Looking at the ashigaru who got closer and closer, whether it was the Boghall pikemen or the Acropolis legionnaires, they all let out a low and faint mockery from behind the cotton chain mail mask: perhaps in the eyes of those Japanese samurai and ashigaru, they were all wearing almost black painted full sets of ashigaru troops with cloth coats, but they were generally equipped with all kinds of odd-shaped hand-held hats, at best, well-equipped ashigaru, no different from their ashigaru, who were mostly just recruited from the civilian population and had not fought a few battles, but it didn't matter, once they dared to enter the range of the Teutonic forces, they would know, how terrifying and difficult the combat effectiveness of these Teutonic soldiers was.

"Thrust! Strike!" With the roar of the Japanese samurai who led the team, the bamboo spears at the front began to wave the bamboo spears that were generally more than two meters in their hands, constantly stabbing at the large tower shields standing on the opposite side, and whipping them- That's right, it's whipping, unlike the vast majority of kinds of pikemen who use stabbing as much as possible in the battle with both hands and hands, the ashigaru people in the Japanese army in the Warring States period who hold bamboo guns are more accustomed to using the bamboo guns in their hands to beat the enemy against each other, this kind of combat method close to fighting with a big long pole is quite strange for the armies of other countries and nations, and even Feng Longde, who has some knowledge of the Japanese Warring States Period, is not very sure why they use bamboo guns like this. However, since they will use bamboo guns like this, they naturally have their reasons, no matter where they are, backward and impractical tactics will definitely be eliminated, which is undeniable.

In the face of the Acropolis soldiers who are like a wall, the bamboo spears that used to be effective in the past did not have much effect: the Acropolis soldiers have a large tower shield in their hands, and they are all made of three layers of thick wood and a layer of steel skin, and it is quite good to scrape off the paint on the surface of the large tower shield at most with the bamboo spear, let alone pierce it; Some of the strong bamboo spears did intend to do this, but they obviously forgot to estimate the length of the heavy javelins that the Acropolis soldiers protruded from between the large tower shields, and before they could pick up the bamboo spears and get close to their opponents to whip them, they were pierced by the heavy javelins used as spears by the Acropolis soldiers who had been preparing for a long time, and fell to the ground weakly.

The Acropolis soldiers, who fought as the ancient Romulud Legion fought, were at ease in the face of any kind of pikemen of the enemy— The Acropolis soldiers marching in a neat line with a large tower shield high were hardly afraid of the enemy's polearms, unless the enemy was armed with axes and hammers: in classical times, the ancient Romulud legions that fought in this way defeated the heavy pikemen of the citizens of the ancient Chanel city-state similar to the ancient Greek culture in modern human civilization, and also defeated many barbarians with a large number of fierce warriors, which can be said to be suitable for almost any kind of battlefield, otherwise the Teutonic Empire would not have formed Acropolis soldiers who fought in this way of combat。

While the Bamboo Lance Ashigaru found it almost impossible to damage the Acropolis Legionnaires after a futile stab and whip, the second group of Bamboo Spear Ashigaru had already approached the Burghall pikemen in the first line of defense.

"Charge!" Under the command of the Japanese samurai who led the team, the bamboo spear ashigaru shouted and waved the bamboo spear in his hand and rushed towards the Boghall pikemen, not thinking about why the long-handled weapons in their opponents' hands were so long, and some of them looked strange like strange broadswords?

"Boghall!"

"Teuton!Teuton!!Teuton!!"

In the roaring battle howls, the Boghall pikemen in the first few rows stabbed and slashed forward with the spears and halberds they held in their hands, trying to kill or push the enemies that came into the range of the spears and halberds.

"Poof" Not long after a bamboo spear ashigaru rushed into the forest of guns, an extra-long spear stabbed him in the throat, and the armor-piercing cone pierced his throat, causing him to fall down less than two meters from the nearest Boghall pikeman.

"Kill, kill" The other bamboo spear Ashigaru looked obviously smarter than his companion, and he desperately swung the bamboo spear in his hand and forcefully pushed away a few super-long spears that were constantly stabbing at him, and gradually approached the first row of Boghall pikemen who were half-crouching on the ground and holding super-long spears and halberds.

However, although this bamboo spear Ashigaru was a little clever, he forgot that this was not a simple phalanx of super long spears: just as he was about to hold up his bamboo spear and stab at a half-crouched on the ground and holding an ultra-long spear in the first row to stab the Boghall pikemen in front of him, a Boghall pikeman in the second row waved the halberd in his hand and slashed half of his upper body and his right shoulder and right arm out as fast as he could.

If the Acropolis legionnaires who formed a formation with large tower shields were a wall in front of the ashigaru, then the Boghall pikemen who formed a solid phalanx of super-long spears were also a wall for them, but this wall was covered with all kinds of large thorns: even though they had paid a lot of casualties on the bamboo spears, these bamboo spears and ashigaru finally approached the super-long spear solid phalanx formed by the Boghall pikemen with difficulty, but they soon found that many Boghor pikemen who were about to start hand-to-hand combat with themselves and others directly threw away the super long spears or halberds in their handsHe untied the fan shield he was carrying from behind his back and held it in his left hand, while pulling out a one-handed mace or barge gun from his waist with his right hand, providing cover for his companions behind him and re-entering the battle, causing them considerable trouble.

"Bang!" a Boghall pikeman saw a few bamboo spears fighting lightly and getting closer and closer to him, and immediately threw away the long halberd stained with blood and minced flesh in his hand, and he had no time to untie the fan-shaped shield he was carrying from behind, so he simply pulled out a one-handed mace from his waist with his left hand and a shell gun with his right hand, pulled the trigger and pulled the trigger at the nearest bamboo spear ashigaru.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and the smell of burning gunpowder, the bamboo spear ashigaru disregarded it and covered his chest, staring at the shell gun in the Boghall pikeman's hand for a few seconds before falling down with a look of surprise and reluctance, and soon lost all his life.

"Iron cannon, iron cannon" Before the Japanese samurai who were supervising the battle outside the range of the Boghall pikemen could finish exclaiming, the sound of dense fire made his eyes almost stare out of his helmet: "Repeated?!"

Although it is indeed a bit worthless to shoot at the bamboo spears with shell guns, it is not so much for the Boghall pikemen who are fighting each other, and they can use whatever they have, if it were not for the fact that there was not enough space for themselves to throw STG39 wooden-handled grenades in this crowded environment, and even if they were thrown, it was particularly easy to accidentally injure their own people in such a crowded situation, maybe some Boghall pikemen would dare to do so

So the battle between the Boghall pikemen and the bamboo spear ashigaru evolved like this: the Bogughor pikemen tried every possible way to rush into the ranks of the Boghall pikemen to fight, and the Boghor pikemen used their super long spears and halberds to form layers of guns to block their advance, so that they had to pay the price of blood every time they got close to their ranks, and the Boghall pikemen who were involved in the melee battle with the bamboo spears switched their weapons according to the situation, and some of them carried the halberd to see that the surrounding space was enough and brandished it to slash and kill in the enemy groupSome of them also carried halberds but did not have enough space to use them, and like their colleagues who carried super long guns, they discarded the fan shields and one-handed maces on the ground to enter hand-to-hand combat with bamboo spears, and some were directly pulled out of the shell guns on their waists from a safe distance, and shot or strafed at the bamboo guns on the opposite side, reducing more or less pressure on their colleagues.

After a period of time when they would be attacked by the enemy in a short, medium and long distance, many bamboo spears began to turn around and run backwards, even if the Japanese samurai who led the team beat them with their scabbards or even were cut off on the spot, they could not stop them: when some of them finally stabbed the bamboo spears in their hands at the Boghall pikemen, they found that the bamboo spears in their hands poked out a few holes in the robes worn by the enemy at most, and the armor on their bodies was obviously made of all-metal, and the bamboo spears could not hurt them at all, but they were stabbed to death by the enemy with extra-long spears at every momentHacked to death with halberds, shot with shell guns, and smashed to death with one-handed maces and fan shields, it didn't take long for the morale of these bamboo spears and ashigaru to completely collapse, and only the few Japanese samurai who led the team remained in place and resolutely did not retreat.

"Charge, cut off their spears!" "The bamboo spears in front of the Boghall pikemen had just broken down, and they were stopped by the Japanese samurai who were pressing in the rear and began to regroup, while the second group came up were all long knives and ashigaru, and several Japanese samurai who led the team were carrying naginatas, which were obviously used to deal with the Boghall pikemen whose main weapon was either a long spear or a halberd.

"Steady, steady!" Zhu Henghong, who was stabbing to death with a long knife wielding a long knife from behind to front, and Zhu Henghong, who was covered with enemy blood on the cotton chain armor mask, didn't even care to touch it, and directly roared and issued his own order, and at the same time used the fan-shaped shield in his left hand to hit the ground hard, and smashed a bamboo spear that was injured and fell to the ground with the sharp bottom of the fan-shaped shield, "Use the weapons in your hands well! The weapons in their hands will hardly cause fatal damage to you!

In Zhu Henghong's roar, the Boghall pikemen formed an impregnable shield wall with the weapons and shields in their hands: those Boghall pikemen who had already pulled out their one-handed maces or shell guns held fan-shaped shields at the same time to block the front, and the Boghall pikemen behind them held super long spears or halberds in both hands and stretched out from the shield wall, desperately poking and slashing at the enemy.

"Ahhhhhh

"Push!" to the chorus of several Boghall pikemen, they simultaneously raised their fan shields and forced the Japanese samurai who was trying to pull the nagina out of the shield of the Boghall pikeman, and then pulled his companion back from the huge impact of the naginata slashing the shield in his left arm, and one of the Boghall pikemen took his place, raising the barge gun in his hand to shoot the Japanese samurai with the nagina knife in his hand.

"Hey, how's your arm?!," the flag bearer, who had been carrying the flag of his company all the time, yelled at the Boghall pikeman, whose left arm looked a little inflexible, for in a battlefield where flesh and blood were flying and screams and weapons clashing with each other, it was impossible for anyone to hear him without shouting at the loudest voice.

"It's good luck, my left arm didn't fall off, but it should be a broken bone, it really hurt!!" Painstakingly untying the upper part of his left arm that could be split in half and throwing it on the ground, the Boghall pikeman squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth— Although the Japanese samurai's naginata could not directly cut through the arm with a layer of plate armor bracers on top of the heavy chain mail and double protection, the huge force could directly break the bones inside, and the fact that the Boghall pikeman could endure the severe pain without screaming showed that he was quite strong.
