Chapter 285: Half a step ahead
What happens when the enemy inserts into the interior of the phalanx?
If the opponent's forces are not large, and they are in time, then they are an isolated island in the ocean, and they will soon be submerged, until in the end, only a corpse remains, which is called a lone army going deep, which is a manifestation of recklessness and a failed tactic. Nature.2.
However, if on the other hand, there is no timely appearance, and the deep forces are large enough, strong enough, and surprising enough, then it is almost a disaster for the side that is penetrated, the formation will fall into chaos because of the internal enemy, and the soldiers fighting in front will be distracted because of the fear behind them, and as a result, they will be killed or injured by the enemy they are on, and in the end the entire formation will be broken, and the battle situation will fall into erosion, which is not beneficial to either side, but it is one of the ways to correct the balance of victory.
And now, the soldiers of the Temple Legion are facing such a crisis, because of the smoke, they can't confirm whether the corpse lying on the ground is real, in their subconscious, the person lying down is already dead, so when the rear is attacked, they can't believe it, and those soldiers who cheated to death are covered in blood, like a devil crawling out of purgatory, rough howls, exaggerated expressions, all show the ferocity of these people.
And the Temple Legion, which had originally had the upper hand, began to be attacked, and the balance of victory returned to the far point again.
What are the characteristics of the pikemen formation, but anyone who knows a little military common sense knows, that is, the flanks and the rear are the weaknesses of this formation, once the flanks collapse, it will be like dominoes, and even the more imaginary disasters, in order to maintain the effectiveness of the frontal enemy, the array of pikemen arrays will be arranged very densely, so that it is possible to deal with the opposing infantry or even resist the cavalry, the flanks collapse These soldiers lined up together have no space to escape, and how can they fight back with two people's spears.
"The opposing infantry has already been played, my lord, what should we do?" a general asked with some concern, and the temple general wearing pale gold armor smiled and said: "Counting the troops on both sides, plus the siege of Bahat City, the enemy in front of you should be the main force, order our infantry to press up, if they are annihilated in this place, Bahat City will be self-defeating!"
At this time, there were still nearly 20,000 infantry in the temple corps who did not participate in the battle, and after this order was given, the remaining soldiers immediately pressed on all fronts, firmly surrounding the exit of the entire valley.
The other party increased its strength, and the meniscus army in the battlefield suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and the number of casualties began to rise, and the soldiers in the rear of the pikemen formation even had to become the same as the pikemen, killing the enemy while worrying about the back, and the team led by Calle had an excellent record after joining the war group, but it also attracted the attention of the enemy, the guards of less than 100 people lost nearly half of their manpower in less than ten breaths, Callie Xiuwei was taller after all, and the whole squad saved a lot of soldiers by rushing left and right with him as an arrow, but the tiger was difficult to defeat the wolves, and more and more temple legionnaires began to attack the squad led by Kariel, and Calle began to add red to his body.
"All attack to the right!"
At this time, a familiar hoarse voice appeared over this small battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides were stunned, but soon the meniscus had a reaction, and the soldiers began to consciously attack to the right, but in a short period of time, the battlefield was still in a stalemate, and it was not easy to get all the soldiers to attack to the right.
It's just that this voice came from the mouth of the lord Ghost Ugly, and the Crescent Moon Army was built by him, so naturally he has a full understanding of these soldiers.
"Abron, you gather your squad to the left and form a triangular battle formation!" At this time, some abrupt voices sounded again, but this time the meniscus began to change, a tall minotaur was slightly stunned, and then the big stick in his hand swept three steps to the left, back to back with a human race, and after each killing a temple soldier, they moved to the left again, this time a werewolf joined the array, forming a triangular battle array.
After the formation of the triangular battle array, after the defense ability of the three people was improved, they quickly gathered a human race and a dwarf, so that after changing from three to five, they had formed a small team, and they could receive the personal order of Lord Ghost and Ugly, this minotaur was still a little excited, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have signs of going crazy.
After the squad assembled, they immediately thought of the opposite right attack, saying that it was an impact, but in fact it was slowly moving to the right, although they didn't know what the ghost was going to do, but they still quickly completed the assembly, from five to twenty, and the number of enemies killed began to climb.
"Kare, charge forward, leave room for your battle formation to fill, gather your men and join Abrun backwards!"
"Stone, turn around and join the Silver Cup!" "Wadi, the Kra on the left needs your cover!" "Bernie, watch the dumb man behind you!" A strange order was directly transferred to the battlefield, and the temple general was a little unimpressed at first, but when he saw the 20,000 infantry he invested entering the battlefield, his face couldn't help but change slightly, in the chaotic battle situation, the array of the Crescent Army actually began to be slowly integrated together, and when the 20,000 infantry entered the battlefield, it did not play a corresponding role, because the invested troops could not immediately strike at the Crescent Army, they could not reach it.
Under this detailed order, the Crescent Moon Army achieved the purpose of disrupting the early stage and integrating the later stage, but its own array was torn apart, and it was impossible to form an effective attack and defense at all, and if it continued like this, no matter how many troops were invested, it would be useless.
The valley was narrow, and the number of soldiers engaged was basically constant, but in this chaotic and small battlefield, the Crescent Army managed to be chaotic but not chaotic, and even like a fish in water, while the Temple Legion, which was trying to maintain the array, was a little stunned.
When the Devil's order finally changed from an individual to a squad, the face of the general of the Temple Legion changed completely.
In all the wars in history, no field commander can give orders about what every soldier is going to do, which is basically impossible to achieve, because the battlefield changes instantly, and because the commander can't know every soldier, but obviously the ghosts in the valley have done this, although they don't want to admit it, but they have to admit that the chaotic race provides such an opportunity for the ghosts.
There are very few Terran names for the soldiers called by the ghosts, most of them are more special races in the alien race, such as orcs, elves and wingmen, these soldiers are easy to recognize, and their combat effectiveness is generally higher than that of the human race, so it is very easy to achieve a small battle formation with this as the core.
"The first squad retreated ten steps...... The ninth squad slashed!" Hearing the order, an orc-made battle formation suddenly retreated, although the temple soldiers in the fight heard this order, but they didn't know which was the so-called first squad at all, but anyway, there must be a trap for the deliberate retreat, so the soldiers of the temple legion actually took a few steps back, and a small open space appeared in the middle of the battlefield, and at this time, a team suddenly stepped in, the number of this team was not much, but the weapons in their hands had long been replaced with crossbow arrows, a small team of people was divided into three layers of squatting, half squatting, standing upright did not give the temple soldiers time to react, and the crossbow arrows were shot out directly, The temple soldiers who were caught off guard fell four or five in an instant, all of them were shot in the face.
And when the soldiers of the Temple Legion tried to rush up, the team of less than twenty people had already retreated to the back under the cover of the other squads.
One after another the orders turned into killing notes, played with the most tragic blood in this nameless valley, after seeing that even if he invested his troops, he could not gain an advantage, the general of the Temple Legion frowned, but he was completely helpless, although he knew how much impact the other party's orders would have on his own soldiers, but he definitely did not have the other party's command skills, so even if he wanted to give such a command order, he was powerless.
"General, what should we do next?" Several accompanying generals also remembered that they were anxious, but in the face of the current situation, they were surprised, and they also had no way to start.
"Use space, in exchange for the advantage of troops! We retreated, ordered the cavalry to bypass the bow and arrow troops, and marched directly to the city of Bahat, and when we encountered the opponent's siege troops, we charged with all our strength, and the battle flag moved forward, I want to fight in person!" The temple general gritted his teeth and said, the accompanying generals were stunned for a moment, and then they tried their best to dissuade them.
"For the situation in front of you, since it can't be solved, then listen to my orders, and all the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy!"
Soon the order to retreat was issued, and before the meniscus in the battle had time to celebrate, the ghost ugly couldn't help but change his face when he looked at the other party's dynamics, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "The whole army is on alert!
The words fell, the ghost clown on the ground suddenly, his body swooped down like a falcon, and after stepping in the air for two steps, his body slid straight forward as if he had stepped on the real thing, until he landed at the front of the team, and with a single stroke of the ice crystal in his hand, the temple soldier in front of him was the head flew up, and blood immediately gushed out from his chest, and then the ghost clown raised a single blade and pointed at a distance, and a wave of air pressure slowly shrouded the soldiers of the temple legion.
"Don't want to run!" Ghost's deep voice echoed through the valley, and Zero in consciousness said in a mature voice, "Hehe, you're half a step ahead, and his banner has just moved less than ten steps." ”
