Kira hid behind a mobile high platform in the Ten Directions Alliance military formation and quietly looked at the Merox army coming out of the military camp. Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and he asked without looking back.
"What do you think of the Merox Army?"
As soon as the voice fell, the Merlox army quickly formed into a phalanx of ten thousand people. The most important thing in the Merlo infantry drill is the formation, so the unified army showed the Ten Directions Alliance what it means to be heroic.
The team of more than 200,000 people quickly arranged their formation, or they could not keep their steps in order, but whether they were turning or moving, they could ensure the integrity of the array.
The movement speed may not be fast, but the formation speed is surprisingly fast. There is no need for the officers to shout loudly. Under the leadership of the flag bearer, they quickly enter the position of their respective units.
"The strongest army in the Kingdom of Cleveland!" The person behind him was silent for a while, then suddenly said.
hiss!
Kira took a breath of air and looked at the man behind him in disbelief.
This man's name is Char Aznable, the recognized military god of the Maxim Federation.
"I came here this time just to see the Merlot Army." Char looked at the array of the United Army with binoculars and quickly noticed the location of the Merlot Army.
"The six military formations in the center!" Xia Ya said calmly.
Kira nodded, he didn't need a telescope, he could see clearly with just the eagle eye spell.
"The soldiers in these six military formations are somewhat different." Kira was not a professional soldier and could only judge the strength of the army from its equipment.
After all, only the elite have the latest equipment.
"It's indeed different. This should be the Mello Field Army that the intelligence said." Xiaya put down the telescope and said with a solemn expression.
"These are the elites of a hundred battles. One against a hundred may not work, but in large-scale battles, with skilled use of military formations and coordination, there is no problem against one against ten. This time you are in trouble." Xia Ya said with a playful look on his face.
.
Kira's face suddenly turned pale.
He had also heard about the fighting power of the Merlot Army, but he heard it all from hearsay and was unconvincing. However, from the mouth of Char, the military god, it was most likely true.
"Compared to the Federation's Ranger Corps, which one is stronger and which one is weaker?" Kira asked subconsciously.
The truly elite ace unit of the Maxim Federation is also famous in the Xinuo Continent.
"It's hard to say, after all, I haven't seen the battle of the Merlot Army with my own eyes." Char said, dragging his chin.
Kira immediately sneered, how dare you comment on the strongest army without seeing it.
"Where does your confidence come from?"
Char pointed to his head, not paying attention to Kira's sarcasm.
The Yamato family is one of the top nobles of the Maxim Federation, mainly controlling the power in the financial field. The Aznable family is not bad either, controlling nearly 60% of the Maxim Federation's army, and the Maxim Federation's largest arms supply
The Shangjion Arms Chamber of Commerce was founded by the Aznable family.
"It's begun." Char stopped Kira's cynicism and turned his gaze to the battlefield.
The Ten-Party Alliance watched the United Army set up its formation and sent out ten thousand troops to attack.
Aslan looked at the Ten Directions Army, which barely maintained their formation, with disdain in his eyes. He made a gesture to the flag-bearer next to him, and the flag-bearer quickly played the flag.
In the Merlot infantry drill, flag language is a very important lesson, especially for officers, it is a key assessment topic. No matter how brave and good at fighting, if the flag language is not up to standard, you will never be able to hold a regular position.
In the past, many people didn't understand the reason for this, but now they understand.
The formation has changed rapidly, and the Merlot crossbow has now become the standard weapon of the United Army.
The two rows of sword and shield soldiers in front became one row, and the crossbow soldiers passed quickly and took up their positions in front.
Gawain rode his horse to the front of the crossbowmen and quickly estimated the enemy's distance.
"Forty-five degree angle! Projection."
Today's Merlot crossbows have been equipped with a magazine system. The trigger is divided into two parts. When the bow string is in place and the bow string is stuck, it also cocks the crossbow arrow in the magazine.
The first three arrows in the magazine are usually equipped with drooping curved arrow crossbow arrows.
puff!
The sound of uniform crossbow arrows rang out, and nearly one hundred thousand crossbow arrows flew out from the unified army array and fell like waves.
The sky looks dense.
"Raise your shield!" the commander of the Ten Directions Army shouted quickly.
However, a large number of unlucky people were still hit by crossbow arrows, especially those soldiers with crude wooden shields, who were directly shot through by crossbow arrows.
There were three levels of projectile waves. When the three levels of wave-like crossbow arrows stopped, only the soldiers of the Ten Directions Army slowly watched from under their shields.
Three waves of crossbow arrows knocked down nearly ten thousand people from the Ten Directions Army, showing its accuracy and lethality, which shocked the commanders of the Ten Directions Allied Forces.
He knew very well that if the combined army's attack efficiency were to follow and there were a few more waves of arrows, their probing force would collapse.
"Raise your shield to meet the enemy! Form a shield array and advance slowly." The commander shouted loudly.
The ten-party coalition forces were tightly packed together and slowly advanced under the cover of the shield formation. Occasionally, only a few unlucky ones were shot by crossbow arrows that passed through the gaps.
Aslan made a gesture again, and the flagman quickly gave instructions. After the war crossbowmen fired the last crossbow bolt, they quickly pulled away from the wings to let out the five-company crossbows behind them.
The commander of the Ten-Party Allied Forces turned pale after seeing the five-company crossbows.
"Dragon-slaying crossbow! Those guys actually brought the dragon-slaying crossbow to the battlefield."
Phew…
The five-piece bed crossbow is not like a crossbow arrow, and the sound of breaking the wind is accompanied by a terrifying scream.
The crossbow arrow of the bed crossbow shot into the enemy's formation, and the powerful force directly shot through the shield bearer at the front, and it took five or six people to fly away before it stopped.
Just as the wave of crossbows ended, the sound of crossbows piercing the air was heard again in the sky. Without the cover of the shield hand, the soldiers behind instantly became living targets.
The ten-party coalition forces fell in pieces like wheat.
The United Army's crossbows were fired one after another as if they were free of charge, making the nobles of the ten-party coalition watching the battle from behind feel terrified.
As if there was no end in sight, arrows rained down continuously, and the team of ten thousand people finally collapsed, and everyone ran back desperately.
Duke Jibril's face turned livid and he shouted loudly: "I will kill all the soldiers who escape first."
Even if we lost the first battle today, it actually turned into a huge rout.
This had a huge impact on the morale of the coalition forces. If it were the past, he would definitely execute all these soldiers.
But it doesn't work now. There are ten thousand troops, belonging to ten lords. At most, he can only deal with the deserters under his command, and has no right to deal with other deserters.
The supervising team immediately rushed out and cleared out the deserters at the front one by one, killing thousands of them. Only then did the fleeing soldiers regain their senses and quickly ran to both sides.
