Chapter 060: Hongmen Luncheon

Kenny looked at Taylor, not knowing how to answer the sudden question for a moment, his eyebrows squeezing two wrinkles out of his forehead, but only for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, of course, the Guards will not be involved in strategic deployment, after all, their duty is to protect their lords, and I read these things in a book. Kenny explained with a smile.

"yes? Sounds like a good book, can you tell me the name of that book?" Taylor asked, looking at Kenny.

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be called war..... Leader, yes, that's right. It was by chance that I was wandering around the flea market in Assyria, and an old knight was peddling many books on strategy, and I traded a clay jar for the book. Kenny replied casually.

"You've earned it, then!" said Taylor.

As the two spoke, the soldiers had piled up their surplus iron tools outside the training ground, and those iron tools had formed a small iron mountain, more than ten feet high.

"Soldiers! Well done! You're so much faster than you were just now! It reminds me of the speed at which one of you lifted his pants yesterday in a brothel south of the city, and he was sorry for that silver coin!"

There was a burst of laughter in the phalanx, and the soldiers began to guess who the fast gunner was, and Kenny's casual joke livened up the atmosphere in the drill arena.

"Alright! This is the end of the joke, the spear-armed soldiers stay, and the other two thousand stand aside for the time being! Let's start with the spear phalanx! The remaining soldiers obey the order! Fifty people are in a horizontal column, and twenty people in depth are scattered backwards! Pay attention to the spears in your hands, don't poke the butts of your comrades in front of you!" Kenny said and walked off the high platform.

The soldiers in the spear phalanx immediately followed Kenny's instructions and formed a phalanx of fifty men in a row of twenty men in depth, their spears perpendicular to the ground, leaving two feet of space to wield their weapons. For these soldiers, the training that has been unchanged for many years has long been tasteless, and suddenly such a chief instructor came, and the novel formation opened their eyes, and almost all of them actively cooperated.

Under Kenny's mobilization, the soldiers put on a new formation in the same posture as they had been in battle. The soldiers in the first three rows held their spears flat, except for the soldiers in the first row, the spear tips of the soldiers in the back two rows pointed forward from the gap, and more than a hundred iron spears seemed to be woven into an iron wall, and the sharp sharp blades were pointed to the high platform in three rows, which looked murderous from the front. The spears of the soldiers in the back row were pointed upwards and perpendicular to the ground, and they waited at any time for the soldiers in the front row to fall and fill the gap left behind.

With Kenny's order, the entire phalanx of thousands of soldiers marched forward in an uneven pace, leaning on each other's bodies, slowly advancing in dense formation, like an impregnable siege chariot, ready to tear apart the enemy that might appear.

When Taylor saw Kenny walking back to the high platform, he immediately applauded, "Great! Really great! Nikon, I've never seen a formation like this, this group of soldiers is now fierce like a beast, the spear in his hand is the mane of the beast, I suddenly want to pull them to the battlefield and give it a try, haha!"

"Hehe, the essence of the tactics of this phalanx lies in all the soldiers working together and going hand in hand, this is not my credit, it shows that the soldiers of the cavalry regiment still have a certain tacit understanding, and they can do this for the first time, which is very good!" Kenny praised the soldiers under the high platform.

"Are there more formations? I think you must have them, but don't hide them, it's your army now, Nikon!" Taylor's words smacked of flattery.

"Of course, this is just the beginning. Then there are the shield phalanx and the auxiliary phalanx, and after all the soldiers are proficient in these formations, they will also have to learn how to cooperate with each other, and there will be smaller formations of 100 or even 5 people, and they will have to learn how to flexibly switch between these formations on the battlefield, there is so much to learn, Commander Taylor!" Kenny said confidently.

"Sounds a bit complicated, but I'll leave it to you!By the way, how are you going to train those cavalry? After all, we're a Horned Cavalry, aren't we?" Taylor asked with a smile.

"In fact, these phalanx training of the infantry are in the service of the cavalry, as you said, we are a cavalry regiment, the reason why the infantry is so densely arranged, one is because some of them cowards can not escape, and the other is to integrate their military quality, after all, there are some delicate young people among them, of course, there are also many veterans with courage and experience, and now they are arranged into a phalanx, as if a number of branches of uneven thickness are tied together, into a big board, and those cavalry, is the sharp blade on this board, just imagine, in the future war, when the enemy does his best to avoid those spearheadsThey'll be meat on the board, ready for our cavalry to slaughter!" Kenny said excitedly.

"You've surprised me too much, Nikon!" Tyler looked up at the sun, "it's getting late, let's go have some lunch, but there's no roast trotters here." ”

"Sheep's hoof, is there any wine?" Kenny smiled.

"Of course. ”

The two stepped down from the platform, and Taylor led Kenny to one of the largest cowhide tents in the station.

The captains of dozens of cavalry regiments sat majestically around the tent, and Taylor warmly invited Kenny to sit on top of the tent and drink with him.

A squire with gauze wrapped around his face came over and poured Kenny a full glass of wine, and Kenny unceremoniously took a large sip of the wine glass, and the liquor passed through his tongue, which tasted strange.

"Knight Nikon!" a guy with a scar on his left eye stood up with a wine glass.

"I'm Goth, you shouldn't have forgotten it! I just saw you training the infantry phalanx in the training ground, it was so shocking! I hope you don't have prejudice against me because of the impulse!" said Got, leaning his neck and drinking the wine from his glass.

"Of course not, you're a hero who fought for the army!" Kenny picked up his glass and poured the rest of the wine into his stomach.

"Knights, from today onwards, Nikon will officially become the chief instructor of our cavalry regiment! Now, raise the cup in your hand, and let us toast the commander!" Taylor stood up after speaking, and everyone followed the regiment commander to get up and salute Kenny.....

Half an hour later, Taylor collapsed on the table, and Kenny got up and left the tent and walked to the drill ground for the afternoon training, a pair of eyes staring at his departing back from the tent.

"Commander, that guy has already walked away, and it seems that he is back in the training ground. Goth finished and put down the curtain in his hand.

"Hmph, it looks like this guy enjoys the position of the head coach. Taylor looked up, his eyes grim, sweeping away his previous drunken state.

"Captain, do you really believe this guy that much?" asked Gort as he returned to the table and sat down, looking puzzled.

"I went to the Earl's Court in Norton in the morning, and he told me that he knew no one of the Assyrian Guardsmen. But this guy does have some skills, no matter where he comes from or what his purpose is, now he is already used by me, hehe....."

Taylor sneered twice, and beside him stood a squire with a bandaged face around him, the guy staring ahead, his eyes bloodshot.
