Episode 12 The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 5 The Veteran's Gift 2
"He has a suit. He is worthy of being equipped with forty or fifty medals of life and death, and more than a dozen battle medals." When the veterans saw these big figures from the army coming to watch their drills, they couldn't help but feel full of energy and put on their best armors.
Wearing military medals that had been treasured for many years, these experienced officers noticed the ingenuity of their three-person formation and also clearly noticed the medals on their bodies.
"I want to experience that group of shield infantry for myself." A young division commander threw his cloak on the ground and slowly approached the veteran who was practicing with his long sword. The veteran in charge of the shield infantry formation looked at
An officer came over and put down his shield, not daring to fight with the officers.
Amu knew very well what these veterans were thinking from these small movements, and said loudly: "Bring out your strongest formation. There are no officers or soldiers here. We are all veterans who have experienced countless battles."
Now that Marshal Muharlin had spoken, all the veterans were shocked. The three veterans put down their weapons and took out another set of equipment from the carriage behind them.
The person in the front holds a tall heavy shield unique to the shield infantry, the person next to him holds a small shield of the light infantry, and the person behind him holds a spear in one hand and a crossbow in the other. The three of them faced this young division
The leader of the group bowed and took a defensive posture.
The young division commander slowly raised the long sword in his hand, with the blade flat and straight from the center of his eyebrows. He stood at attention with his feet, took a heavy step on the ground, and shook his head slightly. This is an Asian warrior.
It is the most common and simple armed military salute. It is usually only used when senior officers inspect. All the soldiers standing in the front row use this military salute. But it is this simplest military salute that makes many veterans have tears in their eyes.
.
After the ceremony, the young division commander pointed the long sword forward and rushed forward with a cold shout.
The large shield was raised high, blocking most of the attack line, while the other small shield moved flexibly. Between the two shields, a spear and a one-handed sword were constantly looking for opportunities to attack. The young division commander
He suddenly laughed, jumped back, held the sword in both hands, and prepared to launch a new round of attacks.
But at the moment he retreated, the crossbow appeared in front of him, and he subconsciously flashed to the side. Before his body could stand still, the spear pierced his throat and stopped less than ten centimeters away.
After the three veterans succeeded, they immediately took a few steps back, put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"Okay, okay, okay, offense and defense are integrated, very good." Ammu shouted "Okay" three times in a row. Not only Ammu, but also the officers present could see the ingenuity of this three-man formation. "
That crossbow of yours can be considered a detailed attack, which is to trick the opponent into rushing to the tip of the spear."
The three veterans could understand the word "detailed attack". One veteran came out and explained: "The crossbow is fake. If the enemy wants to hide, just send it to the tip of the spear. If the enemy doesn't hide, forget it."
"Forget it if he doesn't hide." Ammu was stunned for a moment, but he understood immediately and laughed: "Hahaha, that's good, forget it if he doesn't hide." The officers around him also understood and laughed along with him.
At that moment, Ammu's face suddenly changed, and he said seriously to the veteran: "Then practice everything you have. I want to see your proudest side."
"Follow your orders!" The veterans quickly formed a formation and practiced the three-person combination of various infantry weapons one by one. There was also a joint combat formation of three squads and nine people, which was considered to be a surprise to the senior officers present.
It was an eye-opener for the officers. There were some things they had noticed but never thought about carefully. But this would be different. Everyone was thinking very carefully, constantly imagining these three-person formations in their minds.
Instructions.
When it was getting late, soldiers from the three battalions who had been ordered by Corey arrived. A deputy division commander who led the team saw many people fighting in the open space from a distance, but when he got closer, he
After seeing it clearly, I was shocked.
First, there were a large pile of cloaks piled on the ground. Judging from the color and texture, they were not ordinary goods. Then, if you looked carefully, among the people who were fighting, there were also your own direct commanders, and those who were fighting against these officers were
Some very old veterans, wearing ordinary soldier armor but covered with medals.
Only Marshal Muharlin and Marshal Kerui stood aside, discussing with great interest.
"Hahaha, it's so good." The young legion commander exclaimed that he was so happy after personally trying out the wonders and various changes of the three-person formation. While wiping his sweat, he saw his subordinates leading the troops.
He shouted loudly: "Select a large team for me, right away."
Although the deputy division commander did not understand, he still issued the order.
At the suggestion of the young division commander, the corps commander, deputy corps commander, and division commanders formed a team of fifty-four people, divided into six groups and standing in a platoon.
"Tell your subordinates to start attacking. How dare that boy be so soft-handed? I don't recognize anyone with my whip." The young man from the division roared, his words revealing the infinite excitement in his heart.
"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer." Captain Veron shouted loudly, holding an infantry shield.
"Third Battalion, First Division, Charge Formation." The deputy division commander who led the team was afraid that the superiors could not wait any longer, so he shouted and ordered the troops to attack.
A large group of three hundred men faced a small group of fifty-four officers and divided into fans to attack.
"The shield infantry stood in the first row, and the pikemen stood in the second row." The deputy division commander thought that this was the commander's test of his ability to lead troops. He did not dare to neglect at all, and carefully thought about what to do with these soldiers.
Since they are outstanding soldiers selected from the whole Yasi, both in terms of combat ability and the speed of changing the formation, they will change the formation immediately after the deputy division commander gives the order.
"The shield infantry has a weakness, that is, their large shield needs to be stuck on the ground with the lower tip. A strong soldier can lift the large shield, but if the large shield does not have a good footing, then they cannot hold it flat.
Big shield." A legion commander said to himself as he watched the opponent's shield infantry approaching slowly.
Another legion commander also said: "We knew these weaknesses when we were young, but we never thought about how to exploit them."
"Because the teacher didn't teach it, the Royal Academy won't teach these little things."
"Stop talking, they are approaching and prepare."
The shields on both sides were only five meters apart. The spearman in the back row of the attacking side put his spear on the shoulder of the soldier in front, preparing to stab the soldier holding the shield on the other side.
The legion squad in charge of the defense secretly praised these soldiers for being well-trained and bent down one after another.
"Put up your shield and prepare to assassinate." A battalion commander participating in the attack ordered loudly. The soldiers in the front row holding large shields lowered their shields one after another and prepared to stab with their short swords. But with this release, many
The shields fell sideways on the ground, and the soldiers holding the shields were stunned. They had never encountered such a situation before.
However, the battalion commander who led the team saw clearly that at the moment when they lowered their shields, the officer team thrust out all the spears that were supposed to be mounted on them from the gaps under the shields, so that the shields of his subordinates had no chance to stick to the ground, but stuck to the ground.
After a slip on the barrel of the gun, they all fell to the ground.
At the moment when the soldier holding the big shield was in a daze, dozens of wooden swords stretched out from the shield formation of the officer team. The wooden swords coated with white powder struck the soldiers with white marks.
"The light infantry stepped forward quickly to fill the gap, and the shield breakers stepped forward." The battalion commander who originally led the team did not plan to use shield breakers. These soldiers holding sledgehammers or axes would smash the shield with all their strength, fearing that
It would be bad if these senior officers were injured, but if the shieldbreakers did not step forward at this time, then there would be no need to continue this drill.
The senior officers did not know whether they understood the other's commander's mood or had other ideas. They also began to change their formations, giving up their large shields and choosing to attack lightly.
A long spear, a short spear, a long sword, and two light shields, this is all the equipment of the three-person team.
Under the stunned gaze of nine thousand soldiers, all three hundred of them had white powder marks on their bodies, either from being stabbed or chopped down, while only seven of the fifty-four opponents had white powder marks on their bodies.
