Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

"General, look quickly, does that piece of colorful light look like a rainbow bridge?"

After entering Luqiao Town, as the distance drew closer, the werewolf warriors finally saw the true colors of the colorful light.

In fact, without reminding him, the wolf has found that the situation is not right.

When they were far away, they just faintly saw a large swath of colorful light on the lake, and didn't even think about the bridge.

Because if that piece of colorful light were a bridge connecting the two sides of the strait, it would not be them attacking Luqiao Town now, but the enemy would start attacking them after a large-scale crossing of the river.

However, as the distance continued to approach, the outline of the Colorful Bridge became clearer.

The Colorful Bridge itself was rather vague when it was first built, and it began to gradually show the outline of the bridge over time.

Now the twenty-four hours since the formation of the Colorful Bridge is getting closer and closer, so when the wolf and others have narrowed the distance from the Colorful Bridge, they will immediately find that the situation is not good.

Although he has never seen a bridge built with a rainbow, Wolf Wuyi knows that there are many magical things in this world that he has not seen, and those things often have incredible magical abilities.

It was discovered that there was no traffic on the Colorful Rainbow Bridge at this time, and combined with the previous behavior of Bian Jun and others guarding Luqiao Town, Wolf Wu Yi immediately realized that the Colorful Rainbow Bridge in the distance should not be completely formed.

The enemy desperately prevented them from entering Luqiao Town. In fact, they were delaying the complete formation of the Colorful Bridge, because before the Colorful Bridge was fully formed, the bridge was impassable.

After thinking of this, Wolf Wuyi immediately realized that there might not be much time left for own, because he had a strange feeling that the Colorful Bridge in the distance seemed to be growing continuously, every few minutes, The pontics will become clearer than before.

Realizing that when the main body of the bridge became completely clear, it was probably when the Colorful Rainbow Bridge was completely formed, the wolf immediately shouted out: "Through our military order, the whole army will speed up immediately, and it must be there within half an hour. The location of the target."

Knowing that the time left for one's own side is probably not much, the wolf will no longer care about saving the werewolf soldiers' physical strength, and directly ordered the troops to start at full speed.

After receiving the order from the wolf to be disease-free, the werewolf vanguard army immediately set the speed of Ascension to the fastest, and ran straight towards the end of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge on the east bank of Dushan Lake.

The Northern Expedition coalition forces the Yin & Yang Rainbow Tree's Yang and Yin trees respectively in Pengzhuang Village and Nandianzi Village.

Pengzhuang Village is located in the southwest of the two towns, close to Dushan Lake, and the east end of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge is on the west of Pengzhuang Village.

Seeing that Pengzhuang Village was already in sight, Wolf Wuyi and others could clearly see the Colorful Rainbow Bridge and the sun tree located to the west of Pengzhuang Village.

After seeing the Colorful Rainbow Bridge that was about to take shape, and the huge sun tree as the bridge pier, the wolf's disease-free eyes were unbelievable.

While sighing the magic of nature, he hurried towards the place where the sun tree was.

However, it had just moved forward less than one kilometer, but the wolf and others had to stop.At this time, two hundred meters away from the wolf and the others, there was a fully armed human army lined up there, as if it was waiting for them.

After seeing the human legion in front of him, the wolf's disease-free eyes were full of solemnity.

This Human Race Legion is very different from other Northern Expedition Human Race Legions that Wolverine has seen. Whether it is weapons and equipment or mental outlook, the Human Race Legion in front of him is obviously better.

If this were the only thing, then it wouldn't be enough to frighten the wolves who had been fighting for a long time. It was the weapons in the hands of the human soldiers who really frightened the wolves. He had never seen such a long weapon.

This human legion that stopped the wolf and others was the Macedonian legion under Sun Junyi's command.

At this moment, 10,000 human soldiers with strict training were lined up with the Macedonian phalanx that once made the enemy fearful. They pointed their sharp spears at Wolf Wuyi and others, forcing them to stop.

The traditional Macedonian phalanx consists of standing soldiers (spearmen), light infantry, cavalry and auxiliary soldiers.

The number of standing soldiers is larger. They carry 18-foot-long (5.5 meters) Macedonian spears and 2-foot-diameter round shields.

The soldiers in the array hung their necks with ropes and hung their shields on the left side of their bodies to free their hands.

Macedonian spears are operated with two hands. The spear shaft is made of hard mountain wood and the spear head is mostly made of metal.

There is a counterweight at the end of the spear for balance, and it can also be used as a backup weapon when the spear is broken.

After the soldiers in the front row of the phalanx fell, the soldiers in the second row would quickly fill in the gap left by them.

Soldiers in the first row generally squat and point their spears forward, while soldiers in the second row put their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row, which can increase the damage to the cavalry.

The essence of the entire phalanx tactics is that all soldiers work together and advance together, and those who escape the battle will be punished the most severely.

Most light infantry armed with swords and shields or javelins and shields, their task is to protect the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx.

The cavalry of the Macedonian phalanx is a heavy cavalry. Their weapons are a Macedonian spear, a buckler and a long sword.

In combat, these heavy cavalry often put their spears on their shoulders, with their spear heads slightly downward, and when they charge, the spears pierce downwards.

After stabbing the first enemy, the knights often leave their spears in the enemy's body and no longer draw them out. They will draw out their long swords to continue the battle, and wait until the battle is over, and then retrieve those spears.

The auxiliary soldiers are mostly long-range troops. They carry bows and arrows or javelins, and they are responsible for long-range attacks.

The Macedonian phalanx is different from the ancient Greek heavy infantry phalanx in that it is an attacking phalanx.

When attacking the enemy, soldiers armed with spears will run forward in a solid, dense formation, just like a siege hammer violently impacts the enemy's team.

The first five rows of spears and guns in the array directly confronted the enemy in the early stage of the battle. Numerous spears collided with each other to form a wall of spears, attacking the enemy like a harpoon, and attacking the enemy like a mane. Bounce back vigorously.

Enemies facing the Macedonian phalanx will always be under the attack of dozens of spear tips, and the enemy soldiers as targets are simply'supply in short supply' to those spear tips.

If the enemy's courage is not strong enough, just by seeing those dense spear tips, they may have lost the courage to confront the Macedonian phalanx.

The essence of the Macedonian phalanx is to advance, advance, and continue to advance until it completely defeats the enemy in front.

Due to the entire advancement process, the soldiers forming the shield formation must always maintain a whole operation. If one person does not keep up with the collective rhythm or wants to escape, the operation of the entire phalanx will be greatly affected. Influence.

Therefore, this phalanx requires extremely high courage, physical strength, and discipline for the soldiers in the formation, and the soldiers in the formation must undergo a long period of rigorous training.

The biggest advantage of the Macedonian phalanx is that it has high mobility and can rush to the enemy with a complete line, and deal a heavier blow to the enemy who has not recovered from the cavalry attack.

Especially against those infantry who fought like a swarm of disorganized infantry, the strict formation of the Macedonian phalanx can easily defeat them, no matter how much advantage their number occupies.

Alexander the Great relied on the Macedonian phalanx to defeat more with less, defeating the 200,000 army of the Persian Empire with 40,000, killing the Persian monarch Darius III, and destroying the entire Persian Empire, thus starting the famous Journey of the Eastern Expedition.

Of course, no formation is invincible, and the Macedonian phalanx also has obvious flaws.

Since the infantry in the formation are holding huge five-meter-long spears in both hands, the Macedonian phalanx is most afraid of being penetrated into the phalanx by the enemy with a sword.

Once the spear-armed soldiers of the first array are defeated and the enemy rushes into the phalanx with their swords, then disaster will come, and those spear-armed soldiers who face the enemy will undoubtedly die.

The auxiliary weapon daggers are just as stupid as the spears in the hands of the soldiers. The daggers are also absurdly short. They can hardly provide any safety protection to the Macedonian soldiers, and the spear soldiers themselves cannot turn around to resist the attack. Enemies in close proximity.

So as long as the enemy invades the inside of the phalanx, what awaits them will be a complete killing, just as they have the advantage to slaughter the enemy.

In addition, the flank of the Macedonian phalanx is also a fatal weakness.

Once the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx were broken by the enemy, and the entire phalanx was unable to turn flexibly, the spear-wielding soldiers in the phalanx would end up worse than being breakthrough from the front.

Therefore, the light infantry with shields and the auxiliary soldiers responsible for long-range attacks almost never leave the sides of the phalanx. They move with the phalanx and guard the safety of both sides of the phalanx at all times.

The Macedonian phalanx has relatively high requirements on the terrain. If the terrain of the battlefield is undulating, the power of the Macedonian phalanx will not only be greatly affected, but it may even expose fatal flaws due to the terrain.

Therefore, when using a Macedonian phalanx, it is best to choose the terrain in a relatively flat plain area.

In addition, although the lethality of the Macedonian phalanx looks extremely terrifying, the phalanx is actually just a siege hammer used to defeat the enemy. It is the Macedonian cavalry that is really responsible for killing the enemy’s vital force. They are the ones who bleed the enemy. A knife.

When fighting the Macedonian phalanx, one must have a force that can fight the Macedonian cavalry. Otherwise, once the infantry phalanx is defeated by the Macedonian phalanx, then the Macedonian cavalry will be ruthlessly harvested.

The Macedonian phalanx was relatively invincible when it first appeared, but when people studied it thoroughly, its defeat followed.

In history, during the Second Macedonian War, the Romans took advantage of the slower U-turn of the Macedonian phalanx, bypassing the front of the dense phalanx and reaching the flanks of the phalanx.

When the Romans armed with daggers and large shields defeated the light infantry guarding the flanks of the phalanx, how could the soldiers with 21-foot long spears be the opponents of the Romans with daggers and large shields?At this time, it was an inch short and an inch short, and the Macedonians crowded together couldn't even wield a spear.

And except for the first row, the Macedonian soldiers in the back row did not have heavy armor or shields, so they could only watch the Romans insert their short swords into their bodies.

When the invincibility myth of the Macedonian phalanx was broken by the Romans, in the following years, this extremely demanding phalanx with very distinct advantages and disadvantages rarely appeared in people's vision.

At one time, many people wanted to improve the Macedonian phalanx and let it regain its former glory.

However, people found that the shortcomings of the phalanx were indeed gone after changing, but the advantages of the phalanx were also changed by them. The Macedonian phalanx, which was originally used for attack, was changed by them to slow moving. Iron hedgehog.

Or maybe the mobility is still there, but the aggressiveness is obviously insufficient.

When finding that they could not overcome those shortcomings while retaining the advantages of the Macedonian phalanx, many people reluctantly chose to give up.

Unlike those who gave up halfway, Sun Junyi has a stubborn character. He has always hit the south wall without looking back. He must find a way to crash the south wall.

When people all chose to give up, Sun Junyi was ingenious and directly castrated the most lethal heavy cavalry in the Macedonian phalanx, turning the entire Macedonian phalanx into a pure infantry phalanx.

The biggest weakness of the Macedonian phalanx is the fear of being attacked by the enemy. Under normal circumstances, the enemy rarely breaks through the Macedonian phalanx from the front, and most of them choose to breakthrough from the side.

The light infantry in the legion is responsible for guarding the flank of the Macedonian phalanx. In order to strengthen the safety of the flank of the Macedonian phalanx, Sun Junyi has worked hard on these light infantry.

The equipment of the light infantry responsible for guarding the flanks of the phalanx is shields, javelins, or short swords. When they are attacked by the enemy, their pressure will be very heavy, and the casualties will be very fast.

If you want them to guard the flanks of the phalanx, they must find ways to improve their combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.

Only if they resist it, can they win enough time for the entire phalanx to turn around.

After understanding this, Sun Junyi worked hard on combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.

Ordinary Terran soldiers must equip them with heavy armor if they want to be competent for this task, but after arming them into heavy armored infantry, they can't keep up with the speed of the entire phalanx, so Sun Junyi sets his sights on other races. Body.

The combat effectiveness of the dwarves is good, and the survivability on the battlefield is good, but they are too short. Even if the enemy can't break through their defenses, they can use long-range attacks to kill the soldiers in the phalanx, so the dwarves can't.

The orcs are very consistent in all aspects, but their battlefield discipline is too poor. Once they are able to kill, they are likely to abandon the phalanx and rush out first, so they are not suitable for this kind of protective mission.

The elves...not too.

The Reaper... not even that.

Kindred... Nor does it work.

......

After thinking about it, Sun Junyi finally targeted the Devil clan.
