Chapter 1128, Large and Small Formations to Meet the Enemy
"Online Games Barbarism and Civilization ()" Find the latest chapter!
The demons have naturally strong scales, and the protective capabilities of their scales are better than the armor of many light infantry. In particular, the protection of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows is no less than that of heavy armored infantry.
The protective infantry on both sides of the Macedonian phalanx were often hit hard by the enemy's long-range firepower. Many soldiers were killed or injured under the dense rain of arrows. If these protective infantry were replaced by demon warriors, the enemy's long-range firepower would probably be reduced. It's going to be a big discount.
In addition to being able to better defend against long-range attacks, the demon race also has three very abnormal racial talents: powerful body, forbidden air field and evil sharp angle.
The strong body can ensure that the demon warriors are not affected by minor injuries and always maintain strong combat effectiveness.
The forbidden air field can prevent enemies from sneak attacks on the Macedonian phalanx from the air, allowing those soldiers in formation to concentrate on dealing with the enemies directly in front.
The Evil Point can further weaken enemies who attempt to attack the phalanx from the flanks, ensuring that the flanks of the phalanx are not lost.
No matter how you look at it, the Demon Tribe is a perfect ground force. Whether it is organization, discipline, or combat effectiveness, they are the best candidates for formation infantry.
No, they are not only the best choices for the infantry guard, but also the best choices for the Macedonian Phalanx. If the human soldiers who form the formation are replaced by demon warriors, the power of the Macedonian Phalanx will be further enhanced.
After analyzing that the demon race was the most suitable race to form the Macedonian phalanx, Sun Junyi directly submitted the plan he thought of to Lu Chenguang.
In the initial plan he submitted to Lu Chenguang, whether it was the phalanx soldiers, the infantry protecting the formation, or the royal cavalry used to attack the enemy formation, all of them chose demon warriors without exception.
He asked Lu Chenguang to provide him with enough demon warriors and some demon clan's special mounts, hell horses, so that he could use the demon clan to form an invincible Macedonian army.
Sun Junyi's idea was good and very correct, but after Lu Chenguang saw the plan he submitted, he directly sent a message asking him to give up the demon clan.
At the same time, Lu Chenguang also clearly designated the races that he could use as humans, dwarves, elves or orcs.
There was no demon clan in the entire Huaxia District until the Great Earth Era (no one knew about that time in Ningyuan), only Daniels and his party who later occupied the magpie's nest.
After Daniels came to the land of China, he directly drove away the demon guild entrenched in the Sichuan Basin and established a powerful demon empire.
Let alone a powerful demon warrior, even if he wanted to secretly rob some demon women and children from under Daniels's nose, it would be very difficult, so Sun Junyi's request was simply too much.
Although Sun Junyi repeatedly stated that he was not in a hurry and could wait slowly, Sun Junyi could afford to wait, but Lu Chenguang could not afford to wait.
So under Lu Chenguang's repeated urging, Sun Junyi could only castrate the perfect Macedonian phalanx he had researched to a certain extent.
The Sun and Moon God Sect lacked the horses to form heavy cavalry, so Sun Junyi directly castrated the most lethal king's companion cavalry in the Macedonian phalanx.
There were not enough demon warriors, so Sun Junyi settled for the next best thing and directly chose a branch of the human race - the blood race.
Originally there were no demon warriors, so Sun Junyi wanted to select some strong Khajiit players to form the Macedonian phalanx, but after less than half a month of training with Khajiit players, he had to give up.
The Macedonian Phalanx has extremely high requirements on the coordination and cooperation of soldiers, and the training is very hard. Players can persist for a day or two, but how can they endure it after a long time?
And Sun Junyi is famous for being stubborn and will never give up until he achieves his goal. He has always treated the aborigines and players equally.
When the Tiger players became slack, Sun Junyi directly killed the chickens to scare the monkeys in order to strictly enforce military discipline, and beat up those lazy Tiger players in front of everyone.
Due to Sun Junyi's identity, the Tiger players who were beaten did not resist immediately, and they silently kept this grudge in their hearts.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a player's revenge is never too late.
Sun Junyi had just punished the Tiger players during the day. At night, the yard where he lived was attacked by a group of masked Tiger players.
After the tiger players knocked out Sun Junyi's aboriginal guards, they gave Sun Junyi a good beating. Why did Sun Junyi ask someone to beat them during the day? They returned it intact to Sun Junyi.
As an ordinary human, how could Sun Junyi's physical fitness be comparable to those rough-skinned and thick-skinned tiger warriors?
Sun Junyi was beaten almost to death by this beating, and he had to lie in bed for more than a month before getting out of bed.
Although everyone knew who took revenge on Sun Junyi, they couldn't produce any evidence for catching the thief and taking the stolen goods, or for catching him in bed.
In addition, the number of masked men who attacked Sun Junyi was obviously more than the number of Tiger players who were punished by Sun Junyi during the day. It was impossible for them to punish all the Tiger players!
You must know that it is not easy for players to randomly join the Khajiit tribe. Khajiit players are like treasures in every force. Usually, it is too late for the presidents of the major forces to pamper them. How can they be willing to break up with them? Woolen cloth?
So with Lu Chenguang's personal intervention, the matter finally came to an end.
And Sun Junyi, who had been lying in bed for a month, also figured out one thing through this month's thinking, that is, players can become formation infantry, they can become king's companion cavalry, but they can never become phalanx soldiers, because They simply can't bear that kind of suffering.
After figuring out the key, Sun Junyi focused his main energy on the selection of aboriginal soldiers.
Sun Junyi looked down upon ordinary human soldiers. His favorite barbarian warriors were unique to the Eagle Empire in the entire Chinese region, so he could only settle for the next best thing and choose a vampire warrior who was slightly stronger than ordinary humans. warrior.
Vampire warriors have the racial talent of bloodthirsty. Fresh blood can stimulate the mysterious power hidden in the Vampire's body. When they smell the breath of blood, the Vampire's agility, endurance and mental attributes will increase by one.
Although there is no direct improvement in the main attribute of force, the three attributes of agility, endurance and spirit are also very helpful in combat.
In addition, the Macedonian phalanx is an offensive phalanx. Wherever the entire phalanx goes, there will definitely be corpses and rivers of blood. Therefore, blood warriors are used to set up the formation. Their bloodthirsty talent will be able to quickly turns on and lasts until the end of the battle.
Although the vampire warriors have the bloodthirsty talent and can turn it on all the time during the battle, they are still not as good as the demons and barbarians, and they still cannot completely satisfy Sun Junyi.
Because the vampires are still a branch of the human race in the final analysis. They just have some more special abilities than ordinary humans, but their bodies still belong to humans, and are very fragile like the bodies of ordinary humans.
Therefore, even though the Macedonian Phalanx composed of blood warriors has stronger attack power, they have inherited all the weaknesses of the Macedonian Phalanx.
They are still afraid of the enemy entering the phalanx, afraid of the enemy attacking the phalanx from the flanks, and afraid of the enemy using intensive long-range attacks.
So in addition to conducting strict military training on the blood warriors, Sun Junyi spent almost all his time on protecting and improving the opponent's formation.
In order to allow the vampire warriors in the phalanx to withstand the enemy's long-range attacks, Sun Junyi not only equipped the soldiers with shields specially designed for the Macedonian phalanx, but also personally developed a set of lightweight half-length fish scale armor.
This set of half-body fish scale armor was developed based on the strong scale armor of the demon warrior. The raw materials used all come from the scales of the demon clan.
Speaking of the scales on these demons, Sun Junyi also wants to thank one person, and that person is Ning Yuan.
If Ning Yuan hadn't thrown a large number of demon warrior corpses into the Wei River, and those demon corpses floated down the Yellow River, Sun Junyi would have had no place to get real demon scales.
With the half-body fish scale armor made of demon scales, vampire warriors who wear helmets no longer have to worry about being caused a large number of casualties by the enemy's long-range attacks.
After the threat of long-range attacks has been resolved, the next remaining issue is the defense of the two wings of the phalanx.
Sun Junyi successively used armies of dwarves, elves, and orcs to conduct actual combat exercises, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
It's still the same problems as before. The dwarves are too short, the elves have difficulty withstanding the enemy's impact, and the orcs are easy to get on top.
In desperation, Sun Junyi once again set his sights on the orc players.
However, because he had had dissatisfaction with many powerful orc players before, many orc players were unwilling to join his Macedonian legion. Even Lu Chenguang's personal mediation failed to achieve much results.
Sun Junyi is a person who pursues perfection. He wants to choose orc players to form the protective army, which is originally a stopgap measure.
The players' rejection made Sun Junyi lose his temper. He directly rejected Lu Chenguang's further mediation and directly selected the soldiers of the formation guard as the players' demon warriors.
Sun Junyi clearly told Lu Chenguang that after the castration of the Wang companion cavalry, the existence of the formation guarding corps was very important. They would directly affect the life and death of the entire phalanx and the final outcome of the war.
Therefore, he would rather wait for Lu Chenguang to slowly help him accumulate player demon warriors than use soldiers of other races to form a protective army.
Facing the stubborn Sun Junyi, Lu Chenguang was quickly defeated, so he could only recruit random players from the demon clan everywhere to accumulate soldiers for Sun Junyi's formation guard.
Due to the lack of enough demon warriors, Sun Junyi's Macedonian legion has not yet been fully trained.
This time they appeared in Pengzhuang Village on the east bank of Dushan Lake mainly because their mission was to defend rather than attack.
Although the Macedonian Phalanx is an offensive phalanx, in terms of defensive capabilities, they are actually no worse than the ordinary Needle Jungle Formation.
Because the five-meter-five-meter Macedonian spear was swung there, it was already very frightening just to look at it.
Facing the dense Macedonian spears, it takes a lot of courage to charge head-on!
When attacking, the two wings of the Macedonian phalanx are the biggest weakness of the entire phalanx. However, if they just defend in place, this weakness can still be easily overcome, because they have enough time to lay out an airtight line of defense while waiting for work. .
This time when he came to guard the Colorful Rainbow Bridge, Sun Junyi prepared a total of two square formations for the enemy, one large formation and one small formation.
The formation was specially designed for defense, and the orders received by all vampire warriors were to stay put and stick to their positions.
The blood warriors used five-meter-five-meter Macedonian spears to set up a huge phalanx with thorns on all sides, blocking the enemy's path forward.
If the enemy wants to destroy the Colorful Bridge, they must break through the defense of this formation from the front, otherwise they can only choose to take a detour.
If the enemy chooses to take a detour, they will encounter other Northern Expedition coalition forces.
In those places, the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces have built a tighter line of defense relying on Pengzhuang Village. It is difficult for the enemy to break through that line of defense in a short period of time.
Therefore, when the enemy finds that other places are more difficult to pass, they will immediately return to Sun Junyi's side, because only Sun Junyi's side can be broken through in a short time.
Of course, there is only a possibility of being broken through. As for whether the enemy can really break through, it depends on whether they can break through the dense blockade of Macedonian spears.
Although the formation arranged by Sun Junyi was mainly for defense, since the entire formation was stationary, there was a large open space in the middle of the formation.
Therefore, this formation actually has certain attack capabilities, because Sun Junyi placed the auxiliary soldiers responsible for long-range attacks in the open space in the center of the formation.
At this moment, there are five hundred elven archers holding longbows in the center of the formation. There are bundles of arrows placed under their feet. They will carry out long-range attacks on the enemy when they approach the formation.
There is a small camp made of wood on the left side of the large formation. There are densely packed elven archers standing on top of the camp. The small formation arranged by Sun Junyi is hidden in this small camp.
The entire small formation is composed of 1024 vampire warriors. These 1024 people are all the most elite vampire warriors. They have trained the longest and are the most proficient in mastering the opponent's formation.
On both sides of the blood warriors stood three hundred devil warriors with sharp horns.
These six hundred demon players were recruited by Lu Chenguang at great cost. They will protect the two wings of the small formation and fight side by side with the blood warriors who make up the small formation.
