Chapter 37 Iron Wall Spear Formation

Since it is called the "Iron Wall Army", its tactical and tactical form focuses on defense, which can be seen from the composition of this army - there is no cavalry in the "Iron Wall Army" at all

To be precise, there was no formation of heavy cavalry that could arrange a cavalry phalanx. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he really doesn't have much money. Although anyone knows what a heavy cavalry unit means to the army of this era, it is not so easy to equip a heavy cavalry, just the manufacture and daily maintenance of those expensive weapons and equipment is a big expense, not to mention the purchase and breeding of war horses that are worth a lot of money in the Duchy of Bernardo itself, every heavy cavalry can not only carry one war horse to the battlefield, without two or three war horses, you don't want to expect heavy cavalry to have any performance on the battlefield, this reason is very simple, in order to raise enough horsepower, charge on the battlefield so many times。 Think about it, if each heavy cavalry only has one war horse, let alone go to the battlefield, carrying an adult man and those hundreds of pounds of weapons and equipment for a long journey, even if the war horse falls directly on the battlefield, at that time, the cavalry that has lost its war horse can only be used as infantry, and it is not as good as the original infantry......

To form a heavy cavalry of fifty people is to raise about a hundred war horses, to be honest, war horses are more expensive than people, the fodder, stables, and training grounds are all exquisite things, with the young lord's meager territorial income is absolutely not able to support, to put it bluntly, he is a poor man in the Bernardo aristocratic circle. If it were anyone else, he might have squeezed the few resources in his territory to equip a heavy cavalry, or he would have given up the idea of establishing a meritorious service on the battlefield, but Belif did not do so, and instead found a solution in the ordinary infantryman.

The young lord firmly believes that people will not be suffocated to death. And the simple, effective, and sturdy defensive formation is the answer he got, since he can't make a breakthrough in the attack, then he has done enough work on defense, one-third of the Iron Wall Legion is heavy infantry, and the remaining two-thirds are light infantry that can flexibly switch battlefields, and the equipment of these infantry is different from the spear - the standard spear of the Iron Wall Legion is not the same length

Two-meter spears, four-meter spears, and six-meter spears, unlike the spears of the same length in other legions, the spear array of the Iron Wall Legion is composed of these spears of different lengths. Divided by the length of the spear, the battle formation of the Iron Wall Army is generally arranged in three rows, and in the face of the enemy's fierce charge, the first row of the army formation is the few heavy infantry in the military formation. They are dressed in strong armor, holding huge square shields and two-meter spears standing in the front line as steady as Mount Tai, they are the front line of direct enemy attacks, impregnable steel walls, while the soldiers in the second row are only carefully protected in the upper demigods, holding slightly larger square shields and four-meter spears, when fighting, they will hold the shields above their heads to cover the heads of the soldiers in front and behind, and the tail of the spears is against the ground and pointed diagonally to the sky at a fifty-degree angle to the ground, erecting a row of spear defense lines like a forest, the purpose of which is to prevent a few lucky enemies from jumping into the battle formation over the first row of arraysThe hard shield can protect the soldiers in the front and rear from long-range strikes from the air, even if the opponent's bow and arrow are parabolic around the front of the square shield array, it will not pose any threat to the soldiers in the rear, and the soldiers holding six-meter spears in the back can only have basic protection, because there is basically no chance to face the enemy head-on in the rear of the battle formation, rather than making great efforts to fully equip the expensive armor, it is better to use these precious equipment to strengthen the protection of the soldiers in the first two rows, and secondly, the heavy armor will affect their movements, will give them a lot of strength to fight a battle - they are the key to the victory of this battle formation, the six-meter spear is far beyond the scope of ordinary weapons, the soldiers can not move flexibly with such a long weapon, they will put the spear down and rest it on the shoulders of the first two rows of comrades when fighting, and the tail end of the spear is carried on their own shoulders...... No, their role is not the same as the heavy infantry in the first row, they are the force of counterattack, the only attacking force in this defensive formation, they will swing their spears irregularly up and down, left and right in the battle, the six-meter spear will stir or stab in front of the battle formation under their vigorous shaking, its role is to shoot the enemy in front of the horse or simply take the initiative to kill, in the battle formation, they are the only combat unit that can kill the enemy without facing the enemy's attack, the six-meter spear can exert incredible lethality under the effect of the lever principle, when the enemy who charges first is blocked by the first line, the six-meter spear array turned into a terrifying and powerful winch machine. The whole battle formation looked extremely ugly and terrifying, and any cavalry would experience the taste of being crushed in front of such a battle formation.

Marcato is now facing such a winch machine......

The wolf cavalry gave up the pursuit of Bernardo's rout, and in the process of running, they converged into a rushing river from the left side of the iron-walled army like sea urchin hedgehogs or áá worms, even the most brave and good wolf cavalry did not dare to rashly try the power of the hideous spear array, even the vast majority of heavy cavalry were helpless in front of this spear array, let alone the light cavalry with speed as life? Once they rushed into such a spear formation, the light cavalry, which had no protection in the first place, would become the bait of the six-meter spear that was constantly stirring, which did not need to be very intelligent to see.

Bellive's iron-walled spear formation is a headache, all the wolf cavalry don't want to face such a hedgehog-like enemy, this thing has nowhere to go, but today is different, the wolf cavalry of Markato and the Purple Silver Tribe are prepared this time......

"Don't let them get close and shoot arrows"

The enemy did not give up as decisively as expected, which made Belif a little frightened, the wolf cavalry that appeared was not the same as the dozen wolf cavalry before, but it was impossible to tell what was different for a while - the same silver steppe wind wolf, the same tattered light leather armor, the same cold and shining long knife, but there was something different from the wolf cavalry that he had seen in the past......

"Immortal Hum~~"

"Immortal Hum~~"

At the rear of the battle array, the few archers opened their bows and arrows, and rows of black feathered arrows in the sky made a graceful arc towards the galloping wolf cavalry, at such a distance, although the ordinary longbow could not cause any substantial damage to the heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, but it was more than enough to deal with the light cavalry who basically had no defense.

If it was in the past, the wolf cavalry either charged forward under such an attack and became the victim of the spear array, or used the speed advantage to retreat to the distance to avoid the rain of arrows, and under normal circumstances, they chose the latter, so the archers of the Iron Wall Legion adjusted the angle of the color attack in an orderly manner under the command of experienced officers, and before the first bow rain of arrows did not wait for the landing, the second bo arrow rain came out towards the landing point a little farther away, so that the echelon extended color attack was to block the enemy's evasion route。

However, this time they miscalculated, the galloping wolf cavalry did not retreat to avoid the rain of arrows, still maintained their original speed and galloped on the original route, unlike in the past, they invariably raised their left arms in the direction of the Iron Wall Army......

"Hum~~"

There was a low sigh, as if a helpless sigh, and the inconspicuous small hand like a silver disc on the left arm of all the wolf cavalry suddenly bloomed into a cloud of light that was not dazzling, and a dark blue circular light curtain unfolded.

The light curtain was like the water surface of the breeze, although it could not envelop the body of the wolf cavalry, but it was a few points larger than the ordinary large round shield, enough to cover the wolf cavalry riding on the steppe wind wolf behind him, and the black feather arrows fell on the blue light curtain and only slightly bounced away, and the wolf cavalry's bodies and even arms shook a little

Belif knew that something was wrong, the orc warriors could not use magic and channeling equipment other than their own talents, which was well known, but the qiē in front of him completely subverted the perception he was accustomed to

That inconspicuous little hand turned out to be a guiding shield, and it looked lighter, more stable, and more extensive than the guiding shield that the Jamins Empire was developing and experimenting with, and most importantly, the orcs could use this guiding shield effortlessly

By the time the orcs were able to use their guiding weapons, the scales of victory and defeat had already begun to tilt, and unfortunately, the direction of the tilt was not on the human side......

As expected, after the archer's first BO attack was bounced off, the second BO and the third BO attack immediately landed in the vast clearing, and a large blank area immediately appeared between the two teams of men and horses, which was not in any danger for the time being, and the wolf cavalry did not let go of this opportunity, they roared and galloped in this blank area to draw a tactful arc towards the spear formation of the Iron Wall Legion

"Are they crazy?"

Marcos shouted in horror as he called out his heart on behalf of the others, and to everyone, the wolf cavalry was like sticking their throats out against the scythe of death

"Guiding Warlock Defensive Shield"

But Belif could already smell the danger, and he could no longer maintain his composure and give his orders loudly in the midst of the noisy soldiers

But it seemed that it was too late, and the wolf cavalry close to the edge of the spear array did not crash headlong into the hideous winch machine, but pasted against the edge of the battle array like a whirlwind, and in everyone's astonished and inexplicable sight, one by one, the fist-sized, crystal ball-like thing flew over the spear into the forest and flew over the dense crowd behind the spear......

"Boom"

"Boom Boom"

At this moment, the unbreakable myth of the "Iron Wall Army" became history forever
