Chapter 489

In two waves of short gun throwing, a total of tens of thousands of short guns were thrown. In front of the 7000 troops, more than 2000 people fell instantly, and nearly 1000 others were injured.

It can be said that only two waves of short gun throwing, this army ready to carry out close combat and hanging with steel wings has been abandoned half of its combat power!

Ann Nuo glanced at the short guns of the people around him, and his face showed some regret.

The standard equipment of steel wings is three short guns, a long gun, a heavy shield and a chopper. Although they belong to heavy infantry, they do not wear heavy armor. They only protect several key points with willow nail breastplate, and even the skirt armor and boots of regular heavy infantry. Such a heavy infantry, of course, has higher mobility, but it is by no means excellent in defense. Otherwise, tench would not order the archers to attack from a long distance first.

But trench would never know that the first standard tactical action that soldiers with steel wings need to learn is the Roman phalanx.

Of course, this square array has naturally undergone some changes.

At least in the steel wing, unless it is a special armor breaking arrow or enchanted arrow, even Mitsubishi armor breaking arrow or silver pointed armor piercing arrow can hardly reduce the staff of the steel wing. The reason why Ann Nuo will show regret is that there are too few short guns and can only be thrown three times. Only the team led by Abaza and Quik is equipped with five short guns. Otherwise, they don't even need close combat. They can solve their opponents as long as they keep throwing short guns.

In the frontal charge of hand to hand combat, anno did not have much confidence.

However, Arnold didn't know that the reason why he didn't have confidence was that he compared the steel wings with the thunder lion. If he only compared with the private army in front of him, the steel wings would be much stronger than them. It can even be said that after two short gun throwing just now, the morale of this army has completely dropped to the bottom. At the moment, it has not been defeated, which can be regarded as teenchi's good training.

Without the slightest hesitation, anno waved again and ordered the attack. The formation of the steel winged troops did not change at all, but continued to move forward at a steady pace.

Teenchi's face was pale. He could not understand why they could hardly exert any strength in the face of this army? Don't believe in evil te enqi once again ordered the archers to release their arrows, and ordered all the remaining infantry to start charging immediately. Although he didn't know why these steel wing troops didn't throw the last short gun, he really didn't dare to let the steel wing throw the last short gun, because the lethality was too amazing.

Although he knew that in a short distance, the lethality of short gun throwing was much better than that of bow and arrow, he had never seen such an amazing short gun throwing.

But at the moment, he could not think more, because the two sides had been completely hanged together.

The coverage of the two waves of arrow rain just now still failed to cause any damage to the steel wings, but tench knew that if he wanted to use long-range attack to cause damage to the steel wings, he had to take advantage of the complete strangulation of the two sides. But he also knew that if he did so, it would also hurt his own soldiers, and even directly lead to the complete defeat of the front-line troops.

At this moment, tench immediately fell into a tangle, because he didn't expect that the army he trained himself would be so weak!

It's ridiculous that they are so weak that they can't even fight an army composed of northern barbarians!

But the next moment, tench's face changed again. It was not surprise, but horror!

On the battlefield, it is true that the steel wings and the enemy completely enter the state of hanging, but the change of the situation is not as unbearable as Arnold imagined.

The infantry in front of the enemy and the soldiers with steel wings almost collide with each other. They don't want to cause the collapse of the steel wing array. Almost the array in front of the steel wings can't be shaken. On the contrary, they are knocked by the powerful northern barbarians in the process of collision.

Once the front collision can not stand firm, it will cause a moment of front chaos because the troops in the back row want to keep up. If they are facing the opposition of other armies, this small front confusion can certainly be ignored, but now they are facing an elite army that will never make any fatal mistakes, so they hardly need any thinking. The northern barbarians in the front row have set up their shields and guns, and saw rows of long guns stabbing out from behind the shield array. When the long guns retract, The gun tip and front end of the gun body have long been dyed red by blood. Nearly 100 light infantry wearing leather armor fell directly with scattered eyes.

But this is not the end, because after this round of sudden attack, all the steel winged soldiers have a sense of ease. Therefore, there is almost no need for Ann Nuo to give any new orders. The first half of the whole square immediately withdrew to the left and right without hesitation, and continued to move forward without stopping, And the long gun in his hand was constantly stabbing out from behind the shield wall, but this time he didn't do his best.

Under such circumstances, in order to avoid being attacked by steel wings, these private soldiers naturally have to move constantly. They still have basic tactical literacy. However, different from what they imagined, they did not fight while retreating, but moved forward and resisted the attack. This scene looked like two armies passing by and greeting each other.

But tench, who stood at a high point in the distance, could see very clearly.

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

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

But in fact, the army he trained himself was not only deceived, but also did not find any problems at all. He was still foolishly moving deep into his pocket.

Maybe five thousand people can't completely surround the remaining four thousand people, but as long as this tactical formation is completely completed, I'm afraid his army will be completely abandoned. 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, tench knows that it is difficult for those soldiers who enter the pocket to survive.

This can be seen from the ferocity of those northern barbarians with steel wings.

If someone had told him before today that the northern barbarians of Tenchi could also become soldiers and play so well, he would have sneered at him.

"Shoot!" Tench was also a decisive man. After he knew that he could not protect the infantry in any case, he did not hesitate to treat them all as abandoned children, but even if it seemed that the abandoned children must squeeze out their last use, "shoot freely and shoot all arrows for me in the shortest time!"

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

"Do you think I can't see it?" Turnkey roared angrily, "are you going to watch our people die in vain? Now, shoot me recklessly. This is the chance those brothers gave you in exchange for their lives! It's the only chance to hurt that damn army from a distance! "

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

This distance is not a problem for them, but it is very difficult to accurately shoot the soldiers with steel wings. But they also knew that although they had never seen the strange shield array, they knew that their attack did not have any effect in that state unless they used stronger arrows.

A large number of arrows began to fall recklessly towards the battlefield of steel wings and tingqi's private army. Because they only pursue shooting frequency, their strength will naturally decrease slightly. However, despite this, the arrows are affected by the addition of gravity from the air. These arrows can still cause terrible damage. Hundreds of unprepared northern barbarians were directly shot and killed by these arrows on the spot.

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

Seeing the enemy's desperate attack, anno immediately understood the enemy's intention. Without hesitation and hesitation, he immediately ordered the army to change the formation again. The whole iron winged army immediately poured directly from both sides towards the middle, and forcibly cut the enemy army into two parts.

The tingqi private soldiers who entered the pocket immediately fell into heavy encirclement in all directions, but since the steel wings surrounded them, they certainly wouldn't want to catch them alive. The steel winged soldiers in the innermost circle began to squeeze towards the middle. They used the heavy shield to resist the other party's desperate attack and constantly compressed the other party's activity space. At the same time, every time they squeezed a little space forward, the long gun in their hands would immediately stab into the encirclement circle, and screams for a time.

Those steel winged soldiers on the periphery did not participate in the hanging. They still kept facing outward, and then set up shields and guns. The array was actually a firm defense array. But at this moment, these steel winged soldiers obviously thought too much, because tench ordered the shooting regardless of the enemy and ourselves, which had completely collapsed the whole private army under him. At this time, those private soldiers who were lucky not to enter the encirclement were thinking about how to escape and how to continue to fight with these steel winged soldiers.

As for the steel winged soldiers in the middle, they also did not participate in the siege, but held high their shields to resist the arrow rain from the sky.

This is William's tailor-made tactical array integrating attack and defense for steel wings: Steel kill array!

With the scream getting weaker and weaker, the encirclement in the middle of the steel killing array has become smaller and smaller. Everyone knows what this means.

A lot of blood has dyed the land under the steel wings red, and the blood that continues to flow almost forms a red stream.

At this time, the earth trembled again!

Just as like as two peas of steel, the two sides of the army were on the right side of the army.

The second cavalry regiment of dabion!
