Chapter 877: "·War of the Five Armies"

Life is not an instant matter. Therefore, what you see and hear is not an instant matter. For a period of time, the length of a life to see what you see, to hear what you hear, the truth is naturally there.
Krishnamurti (the most outstanding spiritual teacher in the twentieth century)
In front of the fifty artillery gunners, the four direct infantry wing under Lukurus, the most elite infantry soldiers of the 12,000 personal guards, blocked the Deoville Canyon with a close battle array. Exit at the north end and block in front of the iron cannonmen.
Each round of six thousand iron artillery gunmen takes at least hundreds of lives of the two blue flag cavalrymen. As long as the two blue flag cavalrymen are shot by the iron artillery gunmen, there is almost no chance of survival; it is hot The weapon's iron cannon is much stronger than the cold weapon's crossbow.
The nine thousand long archers and six thousand crossbowmen on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon will shoot nine thousand arrows and six thousand crossbow arrows in each round of salvo; the two blue flag cavalrymen covered by the arrow rain, how to dodge, It is impossible to change the fate of being shot as a hedgehog.
As for those eight-flag infantry who have no strength to fight back, after being baptized by several rounds of arrow rain, they learned to use the corpses on the ground as shields to resist the arrow rain; unfortunately, the two blue flags riding on the war horse Cavalry, can't learn this practical trick.
Round after round of arrow rain, the two blue flag cavalry were shot on the spot in batches; the anxious destruction of Dudu, the Nikon brothers, and the Azig and Duduo brothers knew that at this time, to break through the front of the Legion of Fire The line of defense is almost impossible.
Their only escape route was to follow the northern exit of the canyon just now and then go out; compared to the Blaze Corps that blocked the southern exit, the 12,000 infantry soldiers wearing black military uniforms that blocked the northern exit were It seemed obscure.
The combat effectiveness of the infantry wing directly under the personal guard and the combat strength of the Blaze Corps, whichever is stronger or weaker, will not be mentioned; the two blue flag cavalry who are heading north with arrows of rain are not close to the infantry defense line blocking the north exit. At the head of the iron gunners, they were hit hard.
Previously, because of the limited range of iron artillerymen, only cavalrymen near the northern exit of the canyon were shot by iron artillerymen; now with so many two blue flag cavalrymen rushing into their range, how is it possible for the artillery gunners Miss such a great opportunity to kill the enemy.
As a crackling gunshot sounded, there was a burst of smoke from the positions of the iron artillerymen. The more than 500 blue flag cavalry who charged in the forefront were like cutting wheat and carrying their horses. , Falling down on the ground.
The two blue flag cavalry who had never seen such a weird way of killing tightened the reins in their hands with fear, and dared not push any further; however, they still could not escape the fate of death. The arrow rain on the cliff is useless to stop.
Thirty rounds of firing in just ten minutes reduced the number of more than 36,000 blue flag cavalrymen to 23,000; over 13,000 two blue flag cavalry and 48,000 flag infantry, Arrow Rain and shooting were killed, and the trapped two blue flags had no chance of returning.
The reason why the siege battle in the canyon did not continue was not because the trapped two Blue Flag cavalry came up with an effective way to break the game, but because Rodriguez wanted to force the trapped two Blue Flag cavalry, In this way, a more dazzling merit is made.
The last time Rodriguez successfully captured more than 900 red flag cavalry, he received a key award from Bai Feng; this time, Rodriguez, who was winning the prize, planned to capture more than 20,000 blue flag cavalry in one fell swoop. Get the achievements that overwhelm all participating generals!
Two blue flags, twenty-three thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand eight-flag infantry trapped in the canyon, unable to escape the battle report, has not been sent to the hands of Bai Feng by Rodriguez, Dorgon, Shulhaqi, Mulhaqi The elite main force of man has already appeared outside the battlefield.
"General, the cavalry responsible for investigating the nearby situation came to report, a large number of red flag cavalry appeared in our army twelve miles away!"
Steve’s report on the military situation did not surprise Bai Feng. He had expected Bai Feng to be the day of the decisive battle today, but he gave a lightly ordered order: "To Leonida, tell him that the enemy will be in ten minutes. After arriving at the battlefield."
"Nuo!" Steve, who didn't dare to delay, conveyed the order again and again.
Looking at the distant sky where nothing can be seen, Bai Feng suddenly showed a smile, and said to himself: "The Spartan Army, Yulin Army, Zhenghuang Banner, Huanghuang Banner, Zhenghong Banner, what a stranger version The Battle of the Five Armies!"
The Spartan Army, which was still in the posture of preparation, was released from the canyon one hour after the battle, and it was lifted by Bai Feng’s order; now the hours have passed, and the Spartan Army has almost rested after lunch. It's finally time to start fighting.
After Steve led several soldiers to the Spartan Corps, he hadn't waited for them to leave the Spartan Corps. The originally peaceful Spartan Corps immediately blew the rallying horn before the battle; as the bugle sounded The Spartan regiments were operating in an orderly manner.
Four Phalanx Wings with a total of 1,024 super-long pikemen, lined up listing a 16-layer thick pike defensive line; two elite infantry federations covering the wings of the pike defensive line Team and two longbow teams.
In the initial establishment of the Spartan Corps, there was only one elite infantry wing, and the other was just an ordinary infantry wing; later, Baifeng, with a wealth of weapons and equipment in the city of Rome, used the ordinary infantry wing to strengthen the combat power of the Spartan army. Upgraded to elite infantry wing.
Immediately behind the two elite infantry wings are the two longbow wings with a long range; if they are lined up according to the standard combat mode of the Macedonian phalanx, the two longbow wings should be deployed on the long line of defense Directly ahead.
After the battle officially started, the two Longbow Wings first launched several rounds of volley in front of the long line of defense, and then retreated from the gap between the long line of defense and the elite infantry of the two wings to the rear of the line of defense. Obviously, this rigid deployment is Not suitable for fighting against cavalry.
The cavalry's mobility advantage determines that it is impossible for Longbow United warriors to evacuate to the rear of the defense line after the volley; in order to ensure the safety of Longbow United as much as possible, Bai Feng once deliberately Onida discussed the deployment of the Longbow.
In addition to the eight battlefield formations, the two cavalry formations attached to the Spartan Corps have been cruising outside the battlefield; once the enemy cavalry intends to launch an attack on the long line of defense from the flanks, these cavalry will Before making adjustments in this formation, the enemy forces were hardened to charge.
The Yulin Corps, where Bai Feng personally sits, is only about three miles away from the Spartan Corps in front; whether it is timely reinforcement of the Spartan Corps in front, or active participation in the war to share the pressure for the Spartan Corps, it can be in a very short Completed within time.
The whole army is equipped with the Roman Youth Army and the Roman heavy infantry standard weapon equipment. Although there is no Macedonian squadron specializing in dealing with cavalry, the Roman army’s shield wall tactics are also effective against cavalry charges. Defensive means.
When the almost endless three-flag cavalry appeared in Baifeng's field of vision, Bai Feng suddenly found that he still underestimated the value of cavalry in the cold weapon era; compared with the enemy cavalry that surged like a tide, Sparta The Legion is simply a solitary reef in the sea!
