The originally bustling town has now become extremely calm. Only the windows in the houses on both sides of the street quietly opened a gap, and curious eyes looked at the strange army that appeared in the town through the gap. It was not only the civilians in the town, but also the noble court officials who thought they were knowledgeable and elite. Hundreds of soldiers stood under the castle like stone sculptures. The spears like trees were densely packed. The soldiers carrying spears were wearing iron helmets, leather armor, leather bags and a roll of animal skin on their backs.

There was a short sword inserted between his waist. With this equipment alone, he was enough to join the ranks of vassal heavy soldiers. The court officials' eyes were almost glaring out. He heard that Aruod had an elite army in his hand, but he didn't expect that even his mercenary armor was almost the same. You should know that ordinary vassal soldiers were not only knights wearing fancy and whistle covers, but also recruited peasant soldiers with various weapons. Unless they were old troops who could turn the armor into two thirds through the robbery on the battlefield, they had never seen a whole army fully armed.

"Hey, who knows that in order to support such an army, my finances are deficit." The court officials were envious and surprised, and a confused look fell in Arod's eyes, but he was deeply complaining in his heart. The German Mercenary Group's combat effectiveness after his training was beyond doubt, but the high maintenance costs made the finances of Mecklenburg County a little unbearable. Since they could not afford it, let others raise it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking at the pale Earl Lauziz with some gratitude.

"Master Earl, can you start?" Ron held the horn at this time, waiting for Arod's instructions for the next step, and the German mercenary group in the open space outside the castle trenches also stopped there quietly. Hundreds of people made a sound, as calm as a tomb. This silence pressure made the court officials on the city wall swallow their saliva involuntarily, wetting their dry throats.

"The military parade began." Aruod took a deep breath, and the smell of grass began to spread in the air at this time. When the air gathered in his chest, Aruod shouted loudly.

"Roar~~~~." When Arod finished speaking, hundreds of German mercenaries shouted in unison. Then they turned neatly, and the drummers beat the drums in front of the formation. As the drum beats sounded, the first team leader's spearmen began to move. They held up the long spears like a forest at almost the same pace, and when they moved, they were like a small forest.

"Stand firm~~~." When the spear quadratic array entered the best position of observation on the city wall, the captain of the spear squadratic army drew his sword and ordered loudly. With a loud bang, the square array stopped, as if it had always stood up.

"What are you going to do?" The court officials who had never seen such a military parade were stunned. Apart from showing off the strength of the knights they recruited, the nobles usually did not take the strength of the army seriously. In this era when the knight's charge could solve the victory or defeat of a battle, ordinary soldiers as traitors could only be supporting roles.

"Drink~~~." With the command of the captain of the spear quadratic formation, the spear soldiers in the first row knelt down on one knee and inserted the end of the shoulders on the ground. The long spear body was raised forty-five degrees, and the spear soldiers in the second row extended the flat spear to the shoulders of the companions in front. The third and fourth rows of spear soldiers held the spear and placed it on the shoulders of the companions in front. Suddenly, a defensive posture of the spear quadratic formation, like a hedgehog, was completed.

"Such a wall is enough to withstand the charge of any cavalry." At this time, a court official exclaimed in a flash. A noble with a little military knowledge could see that the frontal advantage of this formation was that as long as the soldiers were not panicked in the charge of the cavalry, this super long spear was enough to make any cavalry return in the frontal.

"Hmph, will the enemy be foolish to charge? Will they not avoid the front?" Although Earl Lauziz was also very surprised, he did not expect that the soldiers under Arod's army were so well-trained, but he still said dissatisfiedly.

"You said that to Count Lauziz, but please continue to look down patiently." Aroud was not concerned about Count Lauziz's rumor. At this time, another team of soldiers appeared from behind. These soldiers did not have super long spears, had ordinary soft hats on their heads or hats at all, but were wearing chain mail. However, the chain mail only had the upper body and no armor on their legs. A long and wide sword was twisted in their hands. Their faces were not as serious and mechanical as the spearmen. Instead, they looked indifferent and arrogant. However, when their captain roared loudly, these people immediately became serious and serious, held their swords with both hands, and ran to both sides of the spear square formation. The sharp swords looked extremely sharp.

"Two-handed swordsman?" The knowledgeable court officials immediately recognized the weapons in the hands of these swordsmen. This two-handed sword, which was almost half a person tall, was extremely terrifying whether it was against horse riders or ordinary infantry. Once a two-handed swordsman with strong power waved the sword in his hand, both cavalry and infantry would be divided into two halves. The court officials on the city wall could almost imagine that when the Bohemian cavalry was dragged by the spear formation, those terrifying two-handed swordsmen approached from the gaps in the position, wielding the terrible swords in their hands, killing the enemy.

At this moment, several servants carried scarecrows and ran to the front of the army for dozens of steps, inserted the scarecrows into the muddy soil, and then quickly left. The court officials on the city wall looked down with interest at this time. They were curiously guessing what was about to happen. The captain of the company platoon raised his sword and issued an order. The soldiers of the spear platoon raised their spears in their hands and disbanded their defensive posture.

"What's going on? Why did they disband the defense? Could it be that they were preparing to attack?" The nobles said one after another. The defense ability of this long spear formation is obvious to all, but it is probably not easy to attack with such a long spear. Some people speculate that this is a way to open the attack for the two-handed swordsmen. After all, the swordsmen with large swordsmen have stronger offensive abilities from their impressions.

"Attack~~~." Suddenly, the company leader of the spear phalanx shouted loudly, and the flag-holding officer beside him raised the flag representing the company's honor in his hand. The spear soldiers in the first row flattened the spears in their hands, lined up in a neat line, and suddenly charged at the direction of the scarecrow with almost the same pace. They fought side by side like machines, and the spear head on the front line instantly poked the scarecrow to the ground.

"Hiss~~~." The court officials took a breath of air. Why, the spear formation could be broken into pieces. It seemed that the enemy was penetrated by the spear. Even Count Lauziz just opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. The flat-end spear charge was a simple action, but it could be so accurate that it can be imagined that these people had undergone repeated training. At this time, no one was raising objections to the well-trained German mercenary group, but the matter was not over. When the first platoon of spearmen completed the charge, the second platoon and the third platoon of spearmen continued to attack like waves slapped on the rocks. The poor scarecrows were trampled and scattered in a ball, leaving only broken bare wood.

Originally, the emergence of the spear phalanx was in the middle of the Middle Ages. All countries in the mainland of Europe formed spear soldiers in the imitation of ancient Greece and Macedonia to fight against the knight's charge. However, at the beginning, it was only used for conservative defense, just like in ancient times. The advantage of the spear phalanx phalanx lies in its density, but at the same time the lack of maneuver was its biggest weakness. However, when the Swiss resisted the Duke of Burgundy Charles, a new tactic appeared. The Swiss's mobile and flexible spear phalanx made the original believe that the phalanx was rigid and clumsy Charles missed the strategic opportunity period and was launched by the Swiss raid, resulting in failure. A large number of fully armed Burgundy knights were captured or killed. In fact, being captured was equivalent to death, because the Swiss did not accept the tradition of captives. More importantly, the duke himself died and the name of the Swiss mercenaries began to be heard from that time.

Arod had just happened to see this kind of discussion on a military fan's QQ in his previous life. This is why he positioned the equipment of the spearmen in leather armor. As for the future, it was at most half-body armor or three-quarter armor. It was impeccable when defending, and it was like a prairie fire when attacking, and it was truly as unmoved as a mountain and invaded like fire. It can be said that he spent a lot of effort on Arod, the spearmen of the German Mercenary Group. After all, this era was still the world of knights. The spear defeated the cavalry was almost the common sense of any military gamer in Arod's era.

"Sir, I'm still satisfied." The nobles on the city wall were shocked. In their impression, the army composed of civilians was always chaotic and low in combat power. Even the mercenary group composed of mercenaries was still stumbling. However, the army in front of them was completely different. After completing the attack, they quickly lined up again, as if they had always stood there, with no chaos at all. This was a real professional army, neither the rebelliousness of the knights nor the timidity of the recruiting soldiers.
