"General, take a look, does that colorful light look like a rainbow bridge?"

After entering Luqiao Town, as the distance continued to get closer, the werewolf warriors finally saw clearly the true face of the colorful light.

In fact, Lang Wubing had already realized that something was wrong without his subordinates reminding him.

When they were far away, they only vaguely saw a large area of ​​colorful light on the lake, and didn't think about the bridge at all.

Because if that piece of colorful light was a bridge connecting the two sides, then it would not be them attacking Luqiao Town now, but the enemy would attack them after crossing the river on a large scale.

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

The Colorful Bridge itself was relatively vague when it was first created. It only gradually began to show the outline of the bridge as time went by.

Now it is getting closer and closer to the twenty-four hours before the Colorful Bridge will be formed, so when Lang Wubing and others narrowed the distance from the Colorful Bridge, they immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Although he had never seen a bridge built using rainbows, Lang Wubing knew that there were many magical things in the world that he had never seen before, and those things often had incredible magical abilities.

Finding that there was no traffic on the Colorful Bridge at this time, and combined with the previous actions of Bian Jun and others to defend Luqiao Town, Lang Wubing immediately realized that the Colorful Bridge in the distance had not yet been completely formed.

The enemy's desperate efforts to prevent them from entering Luqiao Town were actually delaying the completion of the Colorful Bridge, because before the Colorful Bridge was fully formed, the bridge would be impassable.

After thinking of this, Lang Wubing immediately realized that he might not have much time left, because he had a strange feeling that the Colorful Bridge in the distance seemed to be growing continuously, every few minutes. , the bridge will become clearer than before.

Realizing that when the main body of the bridge became completely clear, it was probably when the Colorful Bridge was completely formed, Lang Wubing immediately shouted loudly: "Send my military order, and the entire army will speed up immediately. We must arrive within half an hour." The location of the target.”

Knowing that the time left for his own side was probably running out, Lang Wubing no longer cared about saving the physical strength of the werewolf warriors, and directly ordered the troops to start advancing at full speed.

After receiving Lang Wubing's order, this werewolf vanguard army immediately increased their speed to the fastest and ran straight towards the end of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge on the east bank of Dushan Lake.

The Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces placed the yang tree and yin tree of the yin and yang rainbow tree in Pengzhuang Village and Nandianzi Village respectively.

Pengzhuang Village is located in the southwest of the two towns, next to Dushan Lake. The east end of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge is just to the west of Pengzhuang Village.

Seeing Pengzhuang Village in the distance, Lang Wubing and others could clearly see the Colorful Rainbow Bridge and the Yangshu located to the west of Pengzhuang Village.

After seeing the colorful bridge that was almost taking shape and the huge sun tree that served as the bridge's piers, Lang Wubing's eyes were full of disbelief.

While sighing at the magic of nature, he quickly ran towards the location of Yangshu.

However, after just advancing less than a kilometer, Lang Wubing and others had to stop.

At this time, there was a fully armed human legion arrayed there 200 meters away from Lang Wubing and others, as if they were waiting for them.

After seeing the human legion in front of him, Lang Wubing's eyes were full of solemnity.

This human legion was very different from the other Northern Expeditionary Alliance human legions that Lang Wubing had seen. Whether it was weapons, equipment or mental outlook, the human legion in front of him was obviously superior.

If that was all, it would not scare Wolf Wu Bing, who had experienced many battles. What really frightened Lang Wu Bing were the weapons in the hands of the human soldiers. He had never seen such long weapons.

The human army that stopped Lang Wubing and others was the Macedonian army under Sun Junyi.

At this moment, 10,000 highly trained human soldiers were forming the Macedonian phalanx that once terrified the enemy. They pointed their sharp spears at Lang Wubing and others, forcing them to stop.

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

The standing troops were larger in number and carried Macedonian spears 18 feet long (5.5 meters) and round shields 2 feet in diameter.

Soldiers in formation hung their shields on the left side of their bodies with ropes hanging from their necks, freeing their hands.

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

There is a weight on the end of the spear to facilitate balance and double as a backup weapon when the spear breaks.

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

The soldiers in the first row generally squatted half-crouched and pointed their spears forward, while the soldiers in the second row put their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row. This can enhance the lethality of the cavalry facing them head-on.

The essence of the entire phalanx tactic is that all soldiers work together and advance together. Those who escape before the battle will be severely punished.

Most of the light infantry carried swords and shields or javelins and shields. Their task was to protect the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx.

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

When fighting, these heavy cavalry often put their spears on their shoulders with the spearhead slightly downward. When charging, the spear thrust downwards.

After stabbing the first enemy, knights would often leave the spears in the enemy's body and never pull them out. They would draw their swords and continue fighting, and then retrieve the spears after the battle was victorious.

Auxiliary soldiers are mostly long-range troops. They carry bows and arrows or javelins and are responsible for long-range attacks.

The Macedonian phalanx is different from the previous ancient Greek heavy infantry phalanx. It is an offensive phalanx.

When attacking the enemy, soldiers holding spears would run forward in a solid, dense formation, like a battering ram slamming into the enemy's ranks.

The first five columns of spears and spears in the formation all directly engaged the enemy in the early battles. Countless spears collided with each other to form a wall of spears, attacking the enemy like a harpoon and holding the enemy's attack back like a mane. The ground bounces back.

The enemy facing the Macedonian phalanx will always be under the attack of dozens of spear points. The enemy soldiers as targets are simply in short supply for those spear points.

If the enemy is not brave enough, just by seeing those dense spear points, they may have lost the courage to confront the Macedonian phalanx head-on.

The essence of the Macedonian phalanx is to push, push, and keep pushing forward until the enemy in front is completely defeated.

Due to the entire advancement process, the soldiers who make up the shield array must always operate as a whole. If one person fails to keep up with the collective rhythm, or wants to escape before the battle, the operation of the entire phalanx will be greatly affected. Influence.

Therefore, this phalanx requires extremely high levels of courage, physical strength, and discipline from the soldiers who are deployed in the formation. The soldiers who are deployed in the formation must undergo rigorous training for a long time.

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

Especially against those infantry who fought like a swarm of disorganized swarms, the Macedonian phalanx with strict formations could easily defeat them, no matter how large their numerical advantage was.

At that time, Alexander the Great relied on the Macedonian Phalanx to defeat the Persian Empire's 200,000 troops with 40,000 people, defeat the Persian Empire's 200,000 troops, kill the Persian Empire's monarch Darius III, and destroy the entire Persian Empire, thus starting the famous journey to the east.

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

Since the infantrymen in the formation all held huge five-meter-five-meter spears in both hands, the Macedonian phalanx was most afraid of the enemy breaking into the interior of the phalanx with swords.

Once the first array of spear-bearing soldiers is defeated and the enemy breaks into the phalanx with swords, disaster will strike, and all those spear-bearing soldiers who face the enemy will undoubtedly die.

The auxiliary weapons, daggers, were just as stupidly long as the spears in the hands of the soldiers. The daggers were also ridiculously short, providing almost no protection to the Macedonian soldiers, and the spear-bearing soldiers themselves could not turn around to resist the attack. Close enemies.

Therefore, as long as the enemy attacks the interior of the phalanx, what awaits them will be a complete killing, just as they have the advantage to massacre the enemy.

In addition, the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx were also a fatal weakness.

Once the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx are breached by the enemy, since the entire phalanx cannot flexibly turn, the fate of the spear-wielding soldiers in the phalanx will be even more miserable than if they were breached 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.

Furthermore, the Macedonian Phalanx has relatively high requirements on terrain. If the terrain of the battlefield fluctuates, 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 the Macedonian phalanx, it is best to choose a relatively flat plain area.

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

When fighting against the Macedonian phalanx, it is necessary to have a force that can confront 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 after people thoroughly studied it, its defeat also occurred.

Historically, during the Second Macedonian War, the Romans took advantage of the Macedonian phalanx's slow turnaround, bypassing the dense front of the phalanx and moving around to the flanks of the phalanx.

After the Romans armed with short swords and large shields defeated the light infantry guarding the flanks of the phalanx, how could the soldiers holding 21-foot-long spears be the opponents of the Romans armed with short swords and large shields?

At this time, every inch was short and every inch dangerous, and the Macedonians who were crowded together could not even swing their spears.

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 as the Romans inserted daggers into their bodies.

After the myth of the invincibility 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 sight.

There were many people who wanted to improve the Macedonian Phalanx and restore it to its former glory.

However, after people changed it over and over, they found that the shortcomings of the phalanx were indeed gone, but the advantages of the phalanx were also changed by them. The Macedonian phalanx, which was originally used for offense, was modified to be slow-moving. iron hedgehog.

Or maybe the mobility is still there, but the aggression is obviously lacking.

When they found that they could not overcome the shortcomings of the Macedonian Phalanx while retaining its advantages, many people reluctantly chose to give up.

Unlike those who give up halfway, Sun Junyi has a single-minded character. He never looks back even if he hits the wall. He must find a way to collapse the wall.

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

The biggest weakness of the Macedonian phalanx is the fear of being broken into by the enemy. Under normal circumstances, enemies are rarely able to break through the Macedonian phalanx from the front. Most of them choose to break through from the side.

The light infantry in the legion were responsible for guarding the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx. In order to strengthen the flank security of the Macedonian phalanx, Sun Junyi 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, they will be under great pressure and suffer casualties very quickly.

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

Only if they withstand it can they buy enough time for the entire phalanx to turn around.

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

If ordinary human soldiers want to be qualified for this task, they must be equipped with heavy armor. However, after they are armed into heavy armored infantry, they cannot keep up with the speed of the entire phalanx, so Sun Junyi sets his sights on other races. body.

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

The Orcs fit the bill in every aspect, but their battlefield discipline is too poor. Once the killing begins, they are likely to abandon the phalanx and rush out first, so they are not suitable for this kind of protective mission.

The elves... can't do it either.

The Death Clan... can't do it either.

The vampires... can't do it either.

...

After much thought, Sun Junyi finally targeted the demon clan.
