Lord of War

Two waves of short spears were thrown, a total of tens of thousands of short spears were thrown, and the 7,000-strong army in front of them instantly fell to more than 2,000 people, and nearly a thousand others were injured.

It can be said that with just two waves of short spear throwing, half of the combat power of this army that was about to start a hand-to-hand combat with the steel wings had been abolished!

An Nuo glanced at the short spears of the people around him, with a look of regret on his face.

The standard equipment of the steel wings is three short spears, a long spear, a heavy shield, and a chopping knife. Although they belong to the heavy infantry, they don't wear heavy armor. , Even the skirt armor and combat boots of regular heavy armored infantry were not worn. Although such a heavy infantry has higher mobility, it is by no means very good in terms of defensive capabilities, otherwise Turner would not have ordered the archers to attack from a distance first.

But Turnch would never know that the first standard tactical move that soldiers who join the steel wings need to learn is the Roman phalanx.

Of course, this phalanx has naturally undergone some changes.

At least in Iron Wings, unless it is a specially made armor-piercing or enchanted arrow, it is difficult for even Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows or silver-tipped armor-piercing arrows to reduce the number of Iron Wings. And the reason why Annuo showed regret was that there were too few short spears, and they could only throw them three times. Only the team led by Abaza and Quick had five short spears, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to throw them. It requires close hand-to-hand combat, as long as you keep throwing short guns, you can solve your opponent.

In the hand-to-hand combat of the frontal charge, An Nuo did not have much confidence.

But An Nuo didn't know that the reason why he didn't have confidence was because he was comparing the Iron Wings with the Thunder Lion. If he was only comparing with the private army in front of him, then the Iron Wings were much stronger than them. It can even be said that after the two short spear throws just now, the morale of this army has completely dropped to the bottom, and it has not been defeated at this moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, An Nuo waved his hand again and gave the order to attack. The formation of the Iron Wing troops did not change at all, and continued to advance at a steady pace.

Turnkey's face was pale, and he couldn't figure it out anyway, why they could hardly exert any strength when facing this army when they clearly had the upper hand? The unbelieving Trunch once again ordered the archers to release arrows, and at the same time ordered all the remaining infantry to charge immediately. Although he didn't know why these steel-winged troops didn't throw the last short spear, he really didn't dare to let the steel-winged troops throw their arrows. Take out this last short gun, because the lethality is too amazing.

Although he knew that in a short distance, the lethality of a short spear throw was far better than that of a bow and arrow, but he had never seen a short spear throw with such astonishing lethality.

But at this moment, he is no longer allowed to think too much, because the two sides have been completely strangled together.

The coverage of the two waves of arrow rain just now still failed to cause any damage to the steel wings, but Turner knew that if he wanted to use long-range attacks to cause damage to the steel wings, then the only way to do so was when the two sides were completely strangled together. However, he also knew that once he did this, it would also cause damage to his own soldiers, and even directly lead to the complete defeat of the frontline troops.

At this moment, Turnqi immediately fell into a kind of entanglement, because he did not expect that the army trained by himself would be so weak!

Winning is so weak that he can't even defeat an army composed of barbarians from the north, this is simply ridiculous!

But the next moment,

Turnkey's face changed again, it was no longer surprise, but horror!

On the battlefield, it is true that the steel wings and the enemy army are completely strangling, but the changes in the situation are not at all as unbearable as An Nuo imagined.

The infantry in front of the enemy and the steel-winged soldiers are almost just colliding with each other. Not to mention that they want to cause the collapse of the steel-winged formation, they can't even shake the front row of the steel-winged formation. Instead, they are in the process of colliding with each other. In the process, he was hit by the powerful northern barbarians and couldn't stand still at all.

And once the frontal collision fails to gain a firm foothold, it will cause a moment of chaos on the front line because the troops in the back row are eager to keep up. If they were facing a confrontation with other armies, this kind of small frontal confusion would of course be negligible, but what they are facing now is an elite army that will never make any fatal mistakes, so almost Without any thought, the northern barbarians in the front row had already set up their shields and raised their spears. A row of long spears pierced out from behind the shield. Red, nearly a hundred light infantrymen who were only wearing leather armor fell down directly with their eyes broken.

But this is not the end, because after this round of sudden attack was successful, all the soldiers with steel wings felt a sense of ease at hand, so there was hardly any need for An Nuo to give any new orders, and the first half of the entire phalanx Some of them immediately withdrew to the left and right without hesitation, and at the same time continued to move forward without stopping at all, and the spear in their hands continued to stab out from behind the shield wall, but this time they did not use their full strength.

Under such circumstances, in order to avoid being attacked by the steel wings, these private soldiers naturally have to keep moving. They still have basic tactical skills. But different from what they imagined, they didn't fight while retreating, but resisted the attack while advancing. This scene looked like two armies passing each other and saying hello to each other.

But Tengqi, who was standing at a high point in the distance, could see it very clearly.

And it was precisely because he could see clearly that his face became so horrified.

Because in his eyes, the entire phalanx of steel wings suddenly turned into a "concave" formation, and the soldiers under his command were like driven cattle and sheep, constantly being driven into the gap in the middle. There is almost no need to think about it. Turner also understands that this is a typical mobile warfare pocket tactic. This tactic is not very clever. It can even be said that because it is a relatively old tactic, many commanders have studied it very thoroughly. It's almost impossible to be fooled.

But in fact, the army he trained by himself was not only fooled, but also didn't find any problems at all, and was still foolishly advancing deep into the pocket.

Maybe 5,000 people can't completely surround the remaining 4,000 people, but as long as this tactical formation is completely completed, then the army under his command may be completely abolished. And if you want to break a completed pocket formation, you must have the strong intervention of the third army. However, no matter what the final result is, Turner knows that those soldiers who enter the pocket may not be able to survive. up.

This point can be seen from the ferocity of the barbarians in the north of Iron Wings.

If before today, someone had told Turner that a barbarian from the north could also be a soldier, and that he could perform so well, then he would have sneered.

"Shoot!" Turner is also a decisive person. After he knew that the infantry could not be kept anyway, he did not hesitate to treat them all as sacrificial soldiers, but even if they seemed to be sacrificial soldiers, they had to squeeze out the last bit of their use. , "Free shooting, shoot all the arrows for me in the shortest time!"

"But my lord, an archer glanced at his own troops who had completely entered the steel wing pocket, and said with some hesitation, "If we shoot at this time, we will suffer the most casualties...,—,"

"Do you think I can't see it?" Turner roared furiously, "Are you going to watch our people die in vain? Now, shoot me desperately. This is what those brothers sacrificed their lives for you This is a chance! It is the only chance to harm that damned army remotely!"

After a slight hesitation, all the archers quickly chose to obey the order.

For them, shooting is not a problem at this distance, but it is very difficult to accurately shoot soldiers with steel wings. But they are also very clear that although they have never seen that strange shield phalanx, they know that their attacks in that state really have no effect unless they use stronger arrows.

A large number of arrows began to fall recklessly towards the battlefield of Steel Wing and Tin Qiyin's private army. Because they only pursued shooting frequency, their strength would naturally decrease slightly. But despite this, the arrows are affected by the gravitational force from the air. These arrows can still cause very terrible damage. Hundreds of northern barbarians who were caught off guard were directly shot and killed by these arrows on the spot.

This is the first battle attrition in the leftover steel wings since the start of the war!

Seeing the enemy's reckless attack, An Nuo immediately understood the enemy's intentions, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the army to change its formation again, and the entire steel-winged army immediately started to move towards the enemy from both sides. Coming from the middle, it forcibly cut the enemy army into two parts.

Those Tinky private soldiers who entered the pocket were immediately surrounded by heavy siege in all directions, but since the steel wings surrounded them, of course they would not have any idea of ​​catching them alive. The steel winged soldiers in the innermost circle began to squeeze towards the middle continuously. They used heavy shields to resist the opponent's desperate attack, and constantly compressed the opponent's movement space. At the same time, every time they squeezed a little space forward, the The long spear will immediately stab the encirclement, and screams rang out again and again for a while.

The steel winged soldiers on the periphery did not participate in the strangulation. They still kept facing outward, and then erected their shields and held their guns. The formation they formed was actually a defensive formation. But at this moment, these steel-winged soldiers were obviously overthinking, because Turnqi ordered the shooting regardless of the enemy and the enemy, and the entire private army under his command had completely collapsed. What the soldiers were thinking about was how to escape, and why would they continue to fight these steel-winged soldiers.

As for the steel winged soldiers in the middle, they also did not join in the siege, but held up their heavy shields to resist the rain of arrows from the sky.

This is William's tailor-made tactical formation for Iron Wings that integrates attack and defense: Iron Killing Formation!

As the screams became weaker and weaker, the encirclement in the middle of the Iron Killing Formation became smaller and smaller, and everyone knew what this meant.

A large amount of blood has dyed the land under the steel wings red, and the blood that is still flowing out is almost about to form a red stream.

And at this moment, the earth trembled again!

On the left and right sides of the Iron Wings army, two cavalry troops with exactly the same banner appeared at the same time.
