Section 64 Outpost
Listening to the roar of the soldiers of the Mecklenburg Legion, the Slavs of Watergast were not to be outdone. They spit in the direction of the Mecklenburg Legion and cursed angrily. The Slavs hit the shield with the axe in their hands and made a threatening sound. The noise of more than three thousand people was not inferior to the Mecklenburg Legion.
"Andrew will start moving forward." Aruod waited for a moment. He looked up at the sun gradually rising into the sky. According to his own estimate, it should be around nine o'clock in the morning. What surprised Kang Tuoyi was that the Mecklenburg Legion, whose number was at a disadvantage, actually launched the attack first.
"It's the Count." Andrew put on the helmet clamped under his armpit. He pulled out his sword and raised it high. Then the phalanxes sounded the beating of small drums. The soldiers of the phalanxes took regular steps with the rhythm of the drum beats. The footsteps made a neat roar, which actually made the noisy lady Watgastslas on the opposite side stunned, and gradually calmed down to watch the neat phalanxes moving.
"Master Kang Tuoyi, the enemy has taken the lead in attacking. Should we hold on or take the initiative to attack?" Chief Calvin asked Kang Tuoyi.
"Of course it's an offense. Chief Calvin, you are responsible for the right/wing, and I am responsible for the center, so that the soldiers can pull the widest horizontal line to push over." Kang Tuoyi of course chose to attack. If he was still conservative and persistent when the number of people was at an advantage, soldiers who were not clear about the situation would think they were at a disadvantage and their confidence would be shaken. In the era of cold weapons, the soldiers' weak psychological changes may also lead to drastic changes in the battle situation.
"Okay." Chief Calvin glanced at the Mecklenburg Legion who was slowly pressing over the opposite side, and had a sense of ominous premonition in his heart, but he quickly threw these thoughts away, turned his head and headed towards the right/wing.
"The gods are above, and we will win." Kang Tuoyi looked at the sky almost at the same time as Arude, but Arude was to know the time, and Kang Tuoyi was to pray to the illusory god.
"Forward, advance, advance~~~." The Slavic nobles of Watergast wore iron helmets and armor. They used their shields and weapons to drive the soldiers forward. From the direction of the Mecklenburg Legion, a Slavic army approached them.
"The Mecklenburg Legion stops moving forward, the whole team." Andrew felt as if an invisible stone was pressed on his chest. He took a deep breath and raised the sword in his hand and ordered loudly.
The trombone commander beside him immediately blew the trombone, and the trombone made a melodious sound. Hearing the orders of the German mercenaries in the square stopped according to the order. After walking for a distance, the team was a little messy. Some of the recruits walked outside the team, and some were excited by the vocals and blood on the battlefield to run ahead. At this time, the recruits who stopped for the first time realized that they immediately returned to the team.
"Wow, wail~~~." In order to ease the soldiers' anxiety, the grassroots officers of each square formation took the lead and shouted, and then the soldiers also catered to the sound of the trumpets. When they moved forward again, their steps were much more neat. The spears held high in the soldiers were as dense as the woods. During the operation, the spears collided with each other and made a rustling sound. Germanic swordsmen and large shield crossbowmen were also arranged at the four corners of each square formation.
"It's as fast as the wind, Xu Rulin, invasion is as fire, and as motionless as a mountain." Aruod looked at the spear phalanx in the attack and couldn't help but say proudly to himself. The spear phalanx under his command really reached the level of Xu Rulin. When the spear phalanx advances, Aruod's cavalry troops are firmly in the rear.
"Order the archers to shoot arrows, shoot~~~." Kang Tuoyi looked at the phalanxes of spears holding spears in his hands, like trees. He immediately ordered his army, and the archers in the Watergastslav army gathered together. Because their equipment had no equipment except bows and arrows, they were more light and flexible. The archers ran over the infantry and ran to the front of the formation. They bent their bows and arrows forty-five degrees to shoot arrows towards the Mecklenburg square that was forcing them.
"Swoosh~~~." Arrows rushed towards the Mecklenburg people's square formation like raindrops, and the arrows made a scream of breaking through the air and landed on the heads of the Mecklenburg soldiers.
"Puff~~, ah~~~." The soldiers of Mecklenburg's square formation quickly lowered their heads. The iron helmets on their heads could resist these arrows, but the arrows were shot too densely. Many people's shoulders and feet were shot, and many holes appeared in the originally neat square formation.
"Ah." A new recruit from Mecklenburg held his spear. He heard the sound of arrows coming from his ears. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head. But at this moment he heard a scream next to him, and then there seemed to be hot water on his face. In horror, he raised his head and saw a companion who had been together when he joined the army. His eyes were wide open. The companion had an arrow inserted into his neck. He wanted to stop and support the companion, but the veterans around him didn't even look at the person who fell down. The recruits were pushed by the crowd and continued to move forward.
"Stop advancing, defend the formation, and fight back." Colonel Andrew swung his sword and cut off an arrow shot at him. He calmly gave orders one by one. The trumpet soldiers immediately blew the trombone. After rigorous training, the soldiers of Mecklenburg knew the meaning of the trumpet.
"Defense formation, defense formation." The officers in the small phalanx immediately ordered loudly, and the eight phalanx gradually stopped moving forward one by one. The first row of soldiers in each phalanx knelt down on one knee, inserted the tail of the spear in their hands to the ground, pointed the spear in their hands diagonally straight ahead, and the second row of soldiers held the spear flat on the shoulders of the companions in their hands, while the third row of soldiers held the spear tightly and stretched forward as much as possible. A hedgehog-like square array was completed.
"Crack, creak~~~." The big shield crossbow soldiers at four corners of the square formation ran to the front of the square formation. They formed two arrays of formations and turned around, stepped on the crossbow rings with their feet and pulled the crossbow strings violently, and then placed the crossbow arrows on it. At this time, the arrows of the Slavs opposite were also continuously firing, but these arrows did not cause any damage to the big shield crossbow soldiers. Their large shields could completely withstand the arrows, and the two arrays of formations composed of the big shield crossbow soldiers also became a defense of the square formation.
"Fire~~~." The crossbowmen turned around and immediately aimed at the direction of the Slav archers. When the non-commissioned officers among the crossbowmen gave the order, they pulled the stents on the crossbow at the same time, and the crossbow arrow left the string and shot at the enemy.
"Puff puff puff puff~~~~~ah~~." The crossbow arrows hit the Slav archers. Those who were not prepared to pull the bow and were about to release the arrows suddenly filled with red blood words on their bodies. Unlike the big shield crossbow soldiers, they did not have any defense measures on their bodies. The powerful crossbow arrows shot many unexpected archers into sieves. Some crossbow arrows actually led those with thin bodies to the rear.
"Haha, good job." The Germanic swordsmen in the square laughed wildly. They carried the shiny big sword on their shoulders. Looking at the embarrassing appearance of the Slavs, these swordsmen born in aristocratic families laughed loudly.
"Damn Mecklenburger, Lord Kang Tuoyi, should we withdraw the archer?" an adjutant beside Kang Tuoyi said gritting his teeth, but Kang Tuoyi was indifferent. Compared with the entire battle situation, it doesn't matter if the entire archer team is lost.
"No, let the archers nail there, we need to continue to test the enemy."
"But our archers will collapse." After hearing Kang Tuoyi's ruthless order, the adjutant looked at Kang Tuoyi in surprise, as if he had never known him.
"Do as I order, let the archers not care about the crossbowmen, shoot directly into the Mecklenburg people's square formation, and try to weaken their strength." Kang Tuoyi rode on the horse, his eyes staring at the opponent's every move on the battlefield. They were like two ferocious beasts who carefully tested each other before fighting with each other, trying to find the opponent's weakness and then try their best to kill the opponent with one blow.r1152
