Chapter 292: Army soul

Chapter 292 Army Soul
ps: Hey ~ It's another chapter. It will break out tomorrow without class.
The Cameros never knew they had so many veterans by their side.
Those once-ordinary old people seemed to have completed the transformation of the sharpening knife overnight and re-emerged a sharp light. The veterans who wear their polished armor on their bodies may have some physical decline, but everyone Understand that this group of old people with a strong sense of war and blood can easily kill any young man.
Veterans are not old, veterans are not dead.
"Roberts, report."
"Zalke, report."
"Reyes, report."
"..." A team of veterans straightened their spine, bent over by life, as excited as a stimulant injection.
"Ice Bear Cavalry Regiment, a total of six hundred people, to three hundred and twenty-two, please review." Standing in front of Kailar was a lean old man with a goatee and a little gray on his beard. He looks very thin, almost in his fifties, but it is strong and powerful, and the big hands with blue muscles appear extremely stable. Even ordinary people can see the big pair of palm fans holding ice bears. How powerful he is under the banner of the Knights.
Their physical strength may be dragged down by protracted combat, but a momentary explosive power will definitely cause huge casualties, without him, because they are veterans.
The Ice Bear Knights are a member of the Archduke West, a long-standing Knights, defending the northern Gaul pirates and Scots, from the North. The style is sturdy, the character is strong, and the personality is clear. After the battle with the Scots, the Ice Bear Knights has 1,500 people. Six hundred people were killed and three hundred retired. Only six hundred people remained in the knights as seeds to continue the knights.
These three hundred were the most experienced guys in the Ice Bear Knights. They were almost all seriously injured, not once, but several times, including the siege of the Scots. Resistance and procrastination against the Gauls, onslaught and head-to-head against the Gauls, they have participated in almost all the battles since Altaria's rise to power.
Many of them even participated in the knights of the King Usher campaign.
It's just that their physical strength is no longer enough to support them as glory knights on the battlefield, and even the emergence of stables and saddles can't stop time from eroding them. However, they are still able to continue to play their residual heat as the third row of gunmen.
Knights and heavy shield soldiers have very high physical requirements. Knights must not only have the physical strength for long-distance attacks, but also have a physique capable of carrying nearly 60 kilograms of armor. Heavy shield soldiers also face the first wave of impact and arrow rain. Attack. It is impossible to resist without great power, and death without sufficient power.
These two arms have the highest requirements on the battlefield, followed by the archers. Without sufficient strength and endurance, they cannot serve as archers. This is the first to kill the enemy. The fastest retreat and the second highest paid position. An archer opens his bow twelve times and will experience symptoms of exhausted arms and sore arms, which is why twelve is taken as a dozen. Because in the Middle Ages, when the archers of England and the French cavalry shot at each other, they almost always shot the pot of arrows with an English longbow, but said nothing behind them, "Give me a dozen arrows. "
Then the word slowly spread.
On the other hand, the least needed are gunmen.
The death rate of the gunmen was very high. In fact, they were charged by cavalry. Once the shields couldn't stop them, almost all the gunmen were dead.
Two rows of shields, all six or seven rows behind are gunmen, and then archers.
For Carmelo heavy armor knights, after breaking through the two layers of the shield, the maximum horsepower will slow down after about four or five meters, and the impact will naturally decrease. The four or five meters is the distance between two and three rows of gunmen Because the gun is relatively long, the interval between the pikemen is longer than that of the heavy shield soldier.
At this time, the knight who rushed in either hit a nearby area with a large number of people, turned the horse's head and rushed back and forth in this area, or was stabbed to death by the gunmen around him without him.
If it is the previous one, then all the six or seven platoons of gunmen will be in bad shape, because no gunman can turn the gun head to the left or right in an instant.
Habitually holding their ground, they usher in the death charge on the left or right.
So the pikemen are very hard. Fortunately, there is only e.
However, it is necessary to explain that if the basic quality of the pikemen is strong, the cavalry cannot even approach one meter around them!
Because all the spears are above one meter!
The best illustration of this example is the Macedonian square.
The Macedonian square is shieldless.
They have endless four-row spears, which are crossbow or bow arrays, and among them are slingers or siege vehicles, or cavalry.
However, the Macedonians who always liked to attack were too troublesome for the cavalry to come out, and the Macedonian array could be changed from listening to orders from front to back and from left to right. They were not only blocked the enemy but also their cavalry, so the cavalry went out. It is very troublesome, so the cavalry of Macedonia is almost in the rear or left and right. This is similar to the Chinese crane wing formation. As long as the Chinese army blocked the enemy, the cavalry on both sides quickly leveled up like the crane wing and bypassed the enemy rear. Destroy all enemies.
The effect is very good, but the requirements for the Chinese army are very high. Obviously, Macedonian tactics are not only on the super-long, 2.2-meter spear, but also on the use of spears. Insert the spear into the elite of the opponent's eyes accurately!
This is what Carmelo wants to do now ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This group of veterans are all knights retired. At that time, the knights were not much more demanding than after the reform. The knights of the King Usher required the knight six arts Refers to: knight gun, infantry spear, knight sword, knight shield, dagger and bow and arrow.
After these six immediate assessments and assessments, the knight teachers of the knights can report to the king and tell the king that there are several knights.
Because the requirements are too high, King Uther's workload is not heavy, but the knights that come out are all elites.
In other words, these old knights are fierce characters who can dismount with a spear and mount with a gun.
With these bands of old knights one by one, or even one by three, the hard bones of the entire Carmelo infantry were thus established, and the soul of an army needed veterans.
Why did the Germans later become more and more powerful, and the Tigers and Leopards exploded the Allied and Soviet Russian tanks but were attacked by Berlin? Because the veterans who opened the tanks in the early stage were almost dead, and the young soldiers around the age of sixteen were only relying on a belief in the cavity. As for combat effectiveness, I really don't expect it. (To be continued) rq
