Chapter 410: Dogfight (2)

"Hurry up and retreat to the second line of defense, let those Lich Mage Masters use their magic to heal your broken left arm, and then see if you can return to the fight. The flag officer, who was carrying the flag of his company in his left hand and inadvertently touching the one-handed mace he was wearing on his waist with his right hand, yelled anxiously at the Boghall pikeman, while his eyes were fixed on the two sides who were fighting each other not far from him, "These enemies are so difficult to deal with!

"Understood!" the Boghall pikeman nodded quickly, holding his right hand over his shrugged left arm and hurried towards the second line of defense.

"Damn, it's obviously a sword-wielding light infantry led by more than a dozen heavy infantry, why is it so difficult" The flag officer raised his right hand and pulled away his cotton chain mail mask, and spat on the ground, "What's the matter with that guy Zhu?!, he just rushed in front and killed happily, why didn't he want to inform His Majesty the King of the current situation?!"

Whether it is in the Boghall district team or in the Acropolis Corps detachment, the flag officer in each company and detachment is equivalent to the deputy company leader and deputy detachment leader, and after the company leader or detachment leader of their own company or detachment is killed, they will correspondingly assume the responsibility of company leader or detachment leader, and naturally they will receive relevant command learning in training, so it is not surprising that this flag officer complained about Zhu Henghong, the captain of his own company.

At present, the two companies of Boghall pikemen are entangled with a large group of long knives and naginatas Japanese samurai and those Japanese samurai who are determined not to go to the battlefield. Naginata and katana desperately slashed through the dense forest of guns; in the face of this kind of long knife ashigaru that is more tenacious than the previous bamboo spear ashigaru, Zhu Henghong's Boguehall pikemen company of all veterans is okay, and can maintain the current front to resist the enemy's offensive, while the other Boghall pikeman company led by Abe Takazu's all-staff recruits is obviously a little struggling, they now have more casualties than the experienced Boghall pikemen veterans, and there are already lich mages in the second line of defense who have begun to cast spiritual magic on them to stabilize their morale, otherwise maybe they will not have the idea of fleeing。

Even though they were equipped with the finest weapons and armor, and had all sorts of military pay allowances and guarantees of reincarnation after death, these first-time Boghall pikeman recruits were clearly a little unable to withstand too fierce battles— Even the Boghall pikemen company led by Zhu Henghong was the same, when they first went to the battlefield, the first half of the battle was basically based on the spiritual magic cast by Caroline, once they got used to this kind of combat rhythm and the situation of life and death, then there was almost no need for spiritual magic to ensure that their morale was stable, and they could resist all enemies without worries at all.

From the current point of view, although a large number of long knives and ashigaru have begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Boghall pikemen, the Boghall pikemen who formed the shield wall formation are still pushing each other with the enemy in an orderly manner, and the various weapons equipped on their bodies have played the greatest role at this moment Of course, the STG39 wooden-handled grenade is not suitable for the current chaotic battlefield, unless there is an outlaw Boghall pikeman who is ready to blow himself up, but for now, none of the Japanese Boghall pikemen have this idea, but with a spear or halberd and other weapons in both hands, he concentrates on killing or pushing the enemy out of the line who tries to rush in.

"Ahhh

This design for long-handled weapons comes from the period of the Knights of Temanias before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, in the face of the light and heavy cavalry and powerful light and heavy infantry of the eastern neighbor Vladimir Duchy, the weaponsmiths of the Knights of Temanias quickly came up with this design under the orders of the commander of the Knights who had experienced heavy casualties among their own spearmen due to the forced penetration of the enemy several times- This design not only greatly reduces the damage rate of the enemy's desperate casualties and destruction of the long-handled weapon, but also increases the lethality of the long-handled weapon because of the increase in weight after the front end is covered with steel skin, and the only side effect is that the long-handled weapon of this design is heavier than the ordinary long-handled weapon in terms of weight, but it only needs to strengthen the wrist strength training of the soldiers.

Having said that, but even if the extra-long spear and halberd of this design are installed, and if he really encounters the current naginata Japanese samurai, he can't avoid the fate of damage: with the price of the damage on his body and several wounds on his body, this naginata Japanese samurai cut off more than a dozen super-long spear armor-piercing cones and halberd spearheads that stretched out towards him in a short period of time, but he still failed to rush into the formation of the Boghall pikemen- Because even if the spears and halberds in their hands are broken, those Boghall pikemen will tenaciously use the broken handles in their hands to continue to hinder the enemy's progress, creating opportunities for other comrades to kill the enemy.

Therefore, before the Japanese samurai with the naginata could rush forward a few steps, he was pierced through the body at the same time by the heads of several extra-long spears, and the blood slowly flowed from the hole in the world along the blood groove on the head of the armor-piercing cone to the ground.

While the Boghall pikemen maintained a solid phalanx of spears or shield walls and trembled with the enemy, the Acropolis soldiers were also caught in a fierce battle.

Although the multi-layered trenches and sharpened wooden stakes arranged in front of the first line of defense were not as effective at blocking the infantry as they were at resisting the charge of the cavalry, they also greatly slowed down the speed of the ashigaru led by the Japanese samurai, so that the Boghall pikemen and the Acropolis legionnaires did not face a particularly large number of enemies at the same time, otherwise the opponent could have killed them all with high casualties just by virtue of the large number of people, not to mention that four-fifths of the Teutonic troops stationed in the first line of defense were recruits。

"Throw!" Seeing that a large number of bamboo spears and arrowheads appeared behind them and began to move, the leaders of each detachment immediately gave the order to throw STG39 wooden-handled grenades, and suddenly the soldiers of the Acropolis in the first two rows supported the large tower shield on the ground, pulled out the STG39-style wooden-handled grenades from their waists, pulled the fuse, and threw them at the densely packed bamboo spears and arrows.

"Boom, boom!!" The continuous explosion sounded among the bamboo guns, and many of them were killed and injured by STG39 wooden-handled grenades- In fact, compared to the number of bamboo guns that were directly killed by the explosion, the shrapnel flying everywhere after the explosion was more lethal to the bamboo guns and shotgaru who had too low armor rate, and even the Japanese samurai wearing a full set of the world's equipment would be injured or killed if they were hit in the vital position, not to mention that most of these bamboo guns were wearing cloth clothes and barefoot, and blood was everywhere in an instant, and the screams were endless.

"Charge! charge!!" A Japanese samurai in charge of leading these bamboo spears and ashigaru shouted desperately, he could see that these bamboo spears and ashigaru under his command could not hurt these enemies with large hands from a distance just by virtue of the bamboo spears with an advantage in length, and they would also be subjected to throwing attacks that they suspected of holding small thunderbolts, and seeing that they were about to take out the second one, if they really let them throw out the second round, these bamboo spears and ashigaru would completely collapse their morale, even if they were battle-hardened warriors who were not necessarily afraid of this strange weapon that exploded one by one。

"Rush!!!" Under the leadership of the Japanese samurai who led the team to rush first, the bamboo spear ashigaru plucked up the courage not to think about the terrifying scene just now, and brandished the bamboo spear in his hand and rushed towards the phalanx of the Acropolis soldiers with the long knife ashigaru who rushed up behind him.

"Beep-beep-beep-" Looking at the large crowd of enemies getting closer and closer, the detachment leaders of the Acropolis soldiers blew the whistles from their mouths that hung around their necks but had long been tucked into the cotton chain mail masks, and issued their own commands with sharp whistles of varying lengths.

With the sound of the whistle, the first and second rows of Acropolis soldiers put back the second STG39 wooden-handled grenade they had just taken out, and then the first row of Acropolis soldiers lifted the large tower shield in their hands from the ground to form a wall, and with their right hand pulled out the ancient Romulud-style short sword from their waist and prepared to stab.

At the same time, the other Acropolis soldiers carried their large tower shields with their left hands and their right hands against the backs of their comrades in front of them, so that each first-row Acropolis soldiers would be supported by the same column of companions behind them and be able to fight more confidently.

"Uhhh

"Poof!" A large tower shield raised his hand to resist a Japanese samurai's top-down katana slash, and while bearing the force of his left hand, his right hand reached forward like lightning, and the sharp blade of the ancient Romulud-style short sword pierced directly into the armor of the Japanese samurai's abdomen.

"Damn!!" the Japanese samurai quickly withdrew the katana he was holding in both hands while feeling a tingling pain in his abdomen, and after a few nimble retreats, he dodged the ancient Romulud-style dagger that came out of the gap in the large tower shield, feeling his injury, "It's good that it's thick enough, it's probably just a flesh injury"

While the Japanese samurai continued to rush forward after estimating the extent of his injuries, the other Ashigaru who fought with the Acropolis soldiers were not as lucky as him: they were generally not well armoured, and they were unable to parry the Grommulud-style daggers, and they could only continue to hit the large tower shields of the Acropolis legionnaires with their weapons in vain, and then they were stabbed to death by the Acropolis soldiers looking for suitable fighters and stabbing them to death with the Grommuludan daggers in their hands.

The only thing that can pose a certain threat to the Acropolis soldiers and feel tricky is the Japanese samurai who are carrying all kinds of guys, and among the various weapons they are equipped with, the naginata is the only armor-piercing weapon that can cause some damage to the large tower shield, and the Acropolis soldiers wearing heavy chain mail and half-body plate armor are not particularly troublesome for their defense, and from time to time there are Acropolis soldiers who are overwhelmed by their attacks at once, even if there is no injury on the surface, but it obviously causes fractures or bruises。

"Beep-" Just as the first platoon of Acropolis soldiers began to suffer general injuries or rapid decline in strength during the battle with the enemy, the rapid whistles of the respective detachment leaders reached their ears.

After hearing the crisp whistle, the first row of Acropolis soldiers quickly used the large tower shield in their hands to push forward as if they had been amnestied, and quickly covered their whole body with the large tower shield after taking a few steps back from the approaching enemy, and quickly evacuated to the last row as quickly as possible from the space left on the right, and those who were wounded put down their weapons and shields and quickly ran towards the second line of defense, receiving magical healing from the lich mages.

While the first platoon of Acropolis soldiers had evacuated in an orderly manner, the second platoon of Acropolis soldiers who had been waiting for their work immediately took their vacated positions, brandishing large tower shields and ancient Romulud-style daggers to continue the battle with the enemy in front of them.

At this time, the Japanese samurai and ashigaru had to find out with annoyance that once one of the enemies facing them was about to be killed or they began to be generally under-physical and wounded, the enemy commander would use the whistle to make them quickly withdraw to the rear of the formation, while the next row of enemies would take their place and continue to fight with them and others, but they and the others could not do this, because they were crowded with each other, and even if any Japanese samurai planned to do this, it was likely that the original replacement would directly turn into a rout, and they could only force a large number of ashigaru and a small number of brave Japanese samurai to attack the enemy head-on, and there was no other way。 (To be continued.) )
