Chapter 667: "·Long Spear Meets the Enemy"

The uncertainty of life is the source of our hope.
-Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)
The spartan heavy infantry and the royal pikemen who were fearless to death, still fought indefinitely on the defensive line after they were dispersed by the cavalry, and the wolf cavalry like a tide flooded the rocks like seawater. The same trapped them.
As soon as the line of defense in front of the spear was broken away, the Cretan archers and artillery gunmen in the rear immediately scattered and evacuated to the two wings; but their running speed was obviously much slower than the charge speed of the Wolf Cavalry, only a moment of effort , The wolf cavalry caught up with them.
The Cretan archers still have waist daggers as auxiliary equipment, but the iron artillerymen have only one iron cannon in their hands; archers and spearmen lacking close combat strength can’t stop the storm cavalry, but In a minute or two, the whole army fell into collapse.
Compared with the Cretan archers fighting and retreating, the completely collapsed iron cannonmen really turned around and ran; here you can see the difference between the Roman system and the shogun system. The former is morale The advantage is unmatched by the latter.
The arrogant wolf cavalry had no interest in chasing this defeated army of iron cannons; they left some cavalry to continue to crush the heavy infantry and archers who resisted the corner, and the other assembled their main cavalry. , Rushed towards the Spartan Army.
Sucker, a wolf king who is barely qualified as a commander, his idea is simple and reasonable: first lead the wolf cavalry to break through the weakest middle army of the Tianlong army, then clear the Tianlong army in the middle position all the way, and finally bypass the outer periphery to defeat the Tianlong army to defend the most Strong wings.
From Sacker's perspective, the shield wall defense of the 7th Wing, Assault Wing, Reserve Forces and the Spartan Regiment's rifle phalanx line are undoubtedly the most stable defenses of the Tianlong Army; others rely on close battle lines to build the line of defense The defense of each army is much weaker.
This is also the case. The Predator Guard, the Blaze Corps, the City Defense Army and other troops have been crushed by the front of the Wolf Cavalry. Even the Spartan heavy infantry and the Royal Lancer constructed by the lack of strength did not block the Wolf Cavalry. Charge.
The wolf cavalry who successfully defeated the long pike line of defense left only thousands of wolf cavalry to clean up the heavy infantry and archers who did not retreat. The distance between the pike phalanx and the Spartan legion was about 800 meters, and the wolf cavalry advanced slightly. , They entered the range of the longbowman.
Seeing that the surging wolf cavalry had approached to a position less than 500 meters away from his own army, Leonida subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and suddenly thrust the spear in his hand forward and then retracted it. .
The gaze of the United captains who had been closely watching their own regiment leader, seeing Leonida’s move, the two commanding long bow captains immediately ordered the longbowmen under their command: "The first round of shooting, prepare !"
With the orders of the two coalition captains, the long archers holding the bow in the left and the arrow in the right, lifted the cold bow of their left hand high, and then opened the bow at an inclination of 45 degrees. Preparation for shooting.
"Shoot!" "shoot!"
Almost two shooting commands in no particular order, let the long archers ready to immediately release their bow strings pulled into a full moon; more than two thousand sharp arrows, forming a dark rain of pressure, covering the coming Wolf cavalry cluster.
The characteristics of Lenghuai Longbow determine that they are extremely difficult to be pulled into the full moon state; but the barbarian warrior is as powerful as a cow, and it is enough to pull Lenghuai longbow into the full moon state, which makes the arrow shoot out in the invisible The lethality has been greatly improved.
The first round of the two Longbow slings made the densely-packed Wolf Cavalry cost nearly 400 casualties; and this shooting distance is only the long-range range of the Longbowman, and it is not any other distance. Super arms are comparable.
"The second round of shooting, prepare!"
"Shoot!"
"The third round of shooting, prepare!"
"Shoot!"
...
Round after round of arrow rain, shot from behind the squadron of the Spartan corps towards the pack of wolf cavalry; five rounds of arrow rain covered the attack, causing nearly 2,000 cavalry casualties to the pack of wolf cavalry!
The death of the Ze tribe under his command made the eyes of Sackel, who was the wolf king, turn red; he was very disgusted with the Tianlong army that killed his tribe in front, and he wished to leap directly into the enemy army and tear them all into pieces!
The wolf king, who was in a frenzy, with the same irritated eyes and wolf cavalry, viciously pounced on the squadron of spears that the Spartan Legion was waiting for.
The rifle defense line constructed by the four Phalanx Wings is based on the brigade. The four 100-member teams under each brigade are arranged in columns; thirty-two super-long pikemen form a row, and one hundred-person team consists of four rows. After two meters apart, it was the second Hundred.
The eight phalanx groups under the four phalanx wing groups use 32 small lance phalanx to form a four-row eight-row mega-phalanx phalanx; there are also infantry wing and elite infantry wing One, protecting their flanks on the left and right sides of the super-large spear phalanx.
After struggling to charge the Wolf Cavalry, the long archers made a volley and rushed into the lance square; the eight lances of the 100th line in the first row had no chance of reacting, and they were directly crushed by the brutal Wolf Cavalry.
The wolf cavalry in the forefront of the wolf cavalry cluster, the war wolves under their seats are often pierced by the sharp pikes on their heads and forelimbs when they hit the dense pike phalanx; while their thick skin, they can make the pikemen We can't draw out their spears.
In an instant, the subsequent Wolf Cavalry who rushed up continuously will step on the corpses of their people and continue to charge; the first row of long pikemen covered with blood from the Wolf Cavalry all over the body, under the tide offensive of the Wolf Cavalry, even the most basic Can't maintain the formation.
Fortunately, the specially trained barbarian fighters have very strict military discipline, plus their sturdy personality; even if the wolf cavalry's offensive is unstoppable, even if their formation is washed down, they still fight hard to resist the first Line, without taking a step back!
In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to retreat, but they can’t retreat; two meters behind the first row of pikemen is the second row of pikemen. The pikemen who go back without permission can only die in the hands of their robes. The ruthlessness of the array.
The huge wolf cavalry cluster, just after crushing the first row of pikemen, greeted the pike phalanx of the second row of pikemen; this time, the wolf cavalry with a slightly reduced offensive did not instantaneously overwhelm the tightly guarded pikemen, dense For the first time, the forest of spears caused heavy casualties to the Wolf Cavalry.
The long-shooting long archers are constantly throwing the arrows in their sacs towards the wolf cavalry clusters in the front; the pikemen who were crushed in the first row are still fighting tenaciously, and the pikemen who are not crushed in the second row are slightly As soon as it stabilized, the third platoon of pikemen immediately came to the rescue.
The pike phalanx formed by the combined force of two rows of pikemen not only blocked the charge of the wolf cavalry, but also slowed down the originally fierce offensive of the wolf cavalry; the wolf cavalry who lost the speed advantage, in front of the dense gun forest of the pike phalanx, The number of casualties has risen linearly.
Faced with this increasingly anxious battle, the wolf king Sacker did not die stubbornly. Instead, after the anger and madness in his heart slightly reduced, he decisively ordered all wolf cavalry to retreat immediately, and no longer futile death. Rush.
Hundreds of wolf cavalry who were fighting with the pikemen were left behind while other wolf cavalry retreated quickly; these wolf cavalry abandoned by Zacker only held up the spears that lasted for less than three minutes. The phalanx is annihilated!
