Chapter 350: Don’t Take Captives (Part 2)

The sound of war drums became rapid, and the officers of various flag regiments issued orders nervously. The infantry camp behind the entire chariot formation suddenly expanded outward. Behind the shield formation on both wings, soldiers pushed the large shield forward, and behind them were infantry holding cross guns. In the core area, the heavy infantry had rested and their magic armor could be reused.

The speed as fast as thunder can attack like a cavalry within 500 meters. Their axes and short spears can destroy all heavy armor. These thousand heavy infantry are the essence of the Sixth Battalion.

Salin equipped the thousand most powerful soldiers with magic armor and weapons that could break heavy armor. The heavy infantry of this flag regiment even did not care about logistics issues. Every five soldiers distributed a purple gold sea urchin's skin, containing all the equipment and food they needed.

Salin used this Thousand-Man Flag Regiment for experiments. He wanted to see if his idea of ​​the army was correct. Although the cavalry was powerful, no army could build a country by relying on cavalry.

The huge infantry legion and magic legion are the foundation of victory. As for cavalry, unless Metatterin's flying puppet is successfully built, Sarin can create large quantities of equipment that can withstand one person's flight.

That is the real cavalry, air cavalry!

Air cavalry is an organization for the elves plane. At that time, almost all humans could fly, so they naturally would not study any equipment or look for monsters that could travel. Although humans now have ways to make flight equipment, they consume a lot of money and many materials can no longer be obtained in other planes. For example, trees such as Thunder Cloud Wood that grow on the giant plane are not afraid of lightning strikes because they are not afraid of lightning strikes. They are most suitable for flying equipment.

And ancient humans only regarded this as a material for shipbuilding.

After obtaining a large number of shipwrecks, Salin originally wanted to use Thunder Cloud Wood to make shields, but later discovered metallized steel rock. Although metallized steel rock was heavier, it was very easy to make that thing. As long as there was enough materials, it could equip the army on a large scale.

Salin later planned to use thundercloud wood to build warships. After all, he could not expect one of the winged skeletons to hold up the naval banner. But Erinno gave Salin a bunch of drawings, including flying puppets that could carry people.

The only one that can be used to create the puppet body is now Thunder Cloud Wood.

With Thunder Cloud Wood, Salin's army was very different, so he paid more attention to infantry. This magical heavy infantry was the target of Salin's key experiments.

The heavy infantry of the Sixth Battalion regained its strength, and the shield formation on both wings spread out and crashed into the Phoenix rebels who rushed up on the flanks.

The shield formation is to defend against cavalry attacks. Any army belonging to the Qin Empire, the cavalry's horses were covered with armor and had long metal horns on their chests. When they hit the infantry, they could smash the bones to pieces.

The two-meter-high shields were pushed up in a row, and the Phoenix's infantry had nowhere to start. The two sides were crowded together. Neither the cavalry of the Sixth Battalion nor the cavalry of the envoy regiment immediately. It was also a bit difficult for heavy cavalry to attack the infantry of thousands of people. The use of cavalry is best to defeat the enemy with one blow.

The shield infantry of the sixth battalion struggled forward, and behind them were infantry holding a six-meter spear. Such a long weapon required soldiers with certain skills to use it. The formation of the Phoenix army was compressed, and the gap between the soldiers suddenly became smaller. The shield infantry then dispersed, revealing the spear behind.

The Phoenix infantry, who was smashing the big shield with a battle axe and a heavy hammer, was immediately poked into a blood gourd.

The Phoenix Infantry also had long spears, but they were only more than four meters away. After the spearmen were pushed away by the shield infantry, the infantry using heavy weapons rushed forward and wanted to break through the shield formation, but was hit hard by the formation of the Sixth Battalion.

Shield infantry cannot last for too long. If the formation does not change, the large shield will be split quickly.

The Phoenixes were also mixed up. Seeing that the spear was fierce, infantrymen using heavy swords cut them one after another. The spear was usually made of wood, and only the spear head was metal. However, the spear of the Sixth Battalion was wrapped in a layer of metal two meters in front of it, and it was impossible to cut it off by one or two strokes.

This spear was also discarded when it was broken, and there was no good material. After assassinating hundreds of Phoenix soldiers, the spear began to be cut off by the enemy and could not be used.

Only then can the thousand archers behind move forward and shoot the feather arrows into the enemy formation.

The shield formation did not completely disappear. Each six shields formed a circle, and the shield kept firing outwards. The killing distance of the Sixth Battalion was about twenty or thirty meters, which was not as good as a bow and arrow, but the crossbow had a crossbow box, which could be shot continuously.

These crossbows are not very lethal, but they repeatedly destroyed the attacks organized by the Phoenix people. The two sides gradually became entangled, and before they knew it, the shield infantry had cut the infantry of the Phoenix rebels and formed small positions one by one.

The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion did not start attacking until this time.

The cavalry's cavalry lances have long been thrown away, and now they are holding the anti-blade scimitar. If the arc of the scimitar is twice as large, it will be a sickle. The tip of the blade of the anti-blade scimitar also has a serrated cutout at the opposite angle.

Without long cavalry and rifles, the cavalry was still fierce. The heavy vests that were temporarily hung up made the weight of the war horses more than one thousand kilograms. The cavalry did not rush into the infantry formation directly, which was seeking death. If the speed was lost, the advantage between the cavalry and the infantry was reversed. The war horses became a burden instead.

The heavy sound of horse hooves sounded along the periphery of the infantry. The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion waved scimitars, and on the outermost layer, like peeling onions, hooked the Phoenix infantry one by one. The anti-blade of their scimitars, with the impact of the war horses, could cut through the metal armor.

"It's so powerful!" Barde could not help but take out the alchemy telescope and observe the battle situation from afar. The three thousand cavalry of the envoy did not move and waited patiently. If the enemy had reinforcements, these three thousand cavalry would be like a reserve team.

Barde saw that the formation of the Sixth Battalion had completely changed without realizing it. The center was a heavily armored infantry flag regiment, and the flag regiment where the battalion generals were located. The two thousand people did not move at all, while the other six infantry flag regiments formed a huge gear shape, with six sharp corners outwards, strangling into the Phoenix infantry formation in a rotating way.

If the forces of both sides are not considered cavalry, they are basically equal, and the Sixth Battalion has some advantages. In the situation, it is a one-sided massacre. The cavalry on the periphery continues to reduce the number of enemy infantry. Their cavalry relies on their speed advantage and can easily cut off the infantry's head with a scimitar.

The Phoenix infantry's heavy sword slashed the heavy armor of the cavalry, making it difficult to cut into it. If you use a straight stab, you can break the armor. However, in this way, the infantry will be knocked away by a powerful impact force.

The sixth battalion's battles are getting smoother and smoother. The enemy is not a believer in the Holy See, and it is easy to lose its combat effectiveness. The armor that Salin equipped them with is more than twice as good as the enemy's. Even if they are not skilled, the soldiers of the sixth battalion are dominant. What's more, the formation of the sixth battalion has always maintained a huge gear state. The shield infantry cut the Phoenixes, and each position is equivalent to being attacked on both sides, and there are cavalry from the sixth battalion on the periphery.

Phoenix's second 10,000 team has not arrived at the battlefield yet, and the battle is almost over.

Under unknown circumstances, the Phoenix began to retreat. With the first deserter, there was a second. The officer desperately restrained the soldiers. The Phoenix's battalion tried to use personal soldiers to maintain military law. There was a soldier from a flag regiment who tried to rectify the formation and wanted to persevere until the reinforcements arrived.

Originally, the Phoenix rebels had the same clothes, and the Sixth Battalion's battalion could not find the central army. Now, the Phoenix rebel camp will be exposed, and the Sixth Battalion will immediately issue an order.

The huge gear formation began to advance southward, and the speed suddenly accelerated. Amid the sound of war drums, heavy infantrymen who had not participated in the battle rushed towards the enemy's central army. At a distance of two hundred meters from the enemy's central army, magical glory burst out from the legs of each heavy infantry.

Once the speed of heavy infantry is increased, the lethality will be terrible.

The Duke of Valde only saw a piece of black armor flooding the Phoenix's central army like a tide.

The Phoenixes completely collapsed under this fatal blow. They had nearly 5,000 troops, but they had no intention of counterattack at this time. Most of the Phoenixes fled south, and only a few fled eastward.

The sound of war drums changed the rhythm again. The heavy-armored infantry chased after a mile away and retreated. Every step they took was to consume the magic cores on the magic armor.

The cavalry of the Sixth Battalion put away their scimitars, took the bows and arrows from the infantry, and chased them behind. They had never thought that the loss would be great if they wiped out the enemy completely. The soldiers chose the fighting method based on the sound of the drum beats, and they had already practiced extremely skillfully.

The cavalry chased the defeated soldiers and shot them one by one with bows and arrows behind. They were wearing heavy armor, and it was very inconvenient to operate the bows and arrows. However, Salin had not sent all the equipment suitable for them, so he could only use bows and arrows instead.

Each of them shot twenty-four arrows, and after three magic crossbows, the cavalry also retreated.

Without orders, the shield infantry reorganized the formation, the cavalry dismounted and unloaded the armor with the help of the infantry. Because the battle time was still short, the war horses were excited, and the cavalry had to appease the war horses and unloaded the vests.

The main force of the Sixth Battalion retracted back to the back of the chariot formation. Then Bard saw a light infantry in a flag regiment at this time replaced it with a short spear and began to clear the battlefield.

There were wounded soldiers everywhere on the battlefield, lying on the ground and shouting and moaning. These light infantry poked the enemy to death with short spears one by one, and their movements were calm and sophisticated. When they were fighting with the Holy See army, they all risked the enemy's arrows to do this. Because if you don't do this, the wounded soldiers on the ground would jump up under the action of divine magic at any time and give you a fatal blow.
