The conflicts between the major guilds are profound, and they even wish that the other party would be disbanded on the spot. However, the senior leaders of the major guilds are not fools, and they naturally understand the truth of the cold, especially after seeing the fighting power of hundreds of thousands of Persian troops.
Understand that if the major guilds deal with it alone, they have no chance of winning.
This is why the major guilds promoted the alliance, and why after Fengxiang City's back road was cut off by the Persian army, the major guilds did not hesitate to mobilize manpower to form an elite force to take action. Now the major guilds are just making a point.
They have manpower and supplies to help Fengxiang City. If Fengxiang City is captured by the Persian army, they will have to face the Persian army directly.
Fengxiang City is relatively stable. Although the escape route is cut off, the preparations in the early stage are sufficient after all. If we fight for ten days and a half, there will be no problem.
Soon, more than 100,000 elites from the major guilds arrived at the Persian army that was cutting off Fengxiang City's retreat. This Persian army also had a lot of people, with a total of 100,000 people. However, there were more than 100,000 players.
He is an elite member of various guilds. He originally thought that it would be no problem to repel these Persians. However, he did not expect that as soon as he took action, the player encountered a lot of trouble.
"The Allies are in trouble!" Seeing Jingfeng's serious expression, Zeng Yi realized that something must have happened.
Hua Qianyuexia on the side couldn't help but said: "What's going on? They are all the elites of various guilds, and their number is larger than the Persian army!"
"The Persians cooperated very well, their firepower was extremely fierce, and they formed a square formation. The Allies made several raids without achieving any results!"
"The Persian army is a professional army that has undergone rigorous training. The players are all temporarily recruited from various factions. It can be said that there is no tacit cooperation. If Persia really adopts a square formation to deal with it, the players really can't break through!" Already used!
Zeng Yi, who fought against the enemy in phalanx, knew very well how powerful the phalanx was.
The Persian Empire was very large, but its rule was still based on violent conquest. Therefore, the Persian Empire's appeasement policy in conquered areas was often thankless, and uprisings for independence occurred one after another. In order to maintain its rule, the Persian Empire established a
A huge army. This army has been fighting all year round, and its experience is far beyond what the players can compare with. Even if the players' personal abilities are generally stronger than those of the Persian soldiers, they still cannot defeat an entire Persian army.
"Then what should we do?" Jingfeng and Hua Qianyuexia said with some worry. They originally wanted these players to provide some help, but with the current situation, Fengxiang City would have to send someone to rescue them.
Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, you guys keep guarding Fengxiang City and leave it to me, just in time to fight with the Persian general!"
Zeng Yi was determined to work hard, so that day he took the three bosses and secretly ran out of Fengxiang City and went to the troops composed of players from various guilds.
The morale of the players is very low, and several attacks have been blocked, which has sapped a lot of the players' enthusiasm. When Zeng Yi met the leaders of the major guilds, he completely understood why these people were helpless against the Persian army. These players were completely
They are fighting on their own. In this situation, even if there are 100,000 people, they will never be able to break through the Persians and reach the defense line.
"Don't you have a unified commanding person?"
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, everyone was a little embarrassed. Although they were all high-level leaders of major guilds, they thought they were only more prestigious in their respective guilds. After leaving their own guild, other guilds would not recognize him. Moreover, they were all about the same strength.
Unwilling to admit defeat, starting from the army, everyone has been firing for several days, but there is still no one who can give unified command!
"... Since you all have no idea, just listen to me. If you have any objections, you can speak up first!" No one stood up. Compared to them, no one in Zeng Yi's game knew everything.
Unknown masters are indeed more suitable than them, especially the news that Zeng Yi has broken through the bottleneck and advanced to a super-first-class master!
He glanced at everyone and said, "Since no one objects, then everyone should listen to me! Tell me first, let the Persians learn tactics!"
These people chatted with Zeng Yi about their several failures. Zeng Yi frowned when he heard the words.
The Persian infantry phalanx is quite special. It is completely different from the infantry phalanx used by Zeng Yi to deal with the Persian cavalry. This phalanx is generally ten rows deep, and each column represents a basic tactical unit "Team of Ten". The captain stands
At the forefront, he is equipped with a rectangular shield and a spear about two meters long, and is covered with light scale armor;
The nine infantrymen behind him are each equipped with a pair of bows and arrows and a scimitar, and are generally unarmored. During the battle, the captain is responsible for resisting the impact of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, while the nine archers behind him injure the enemy with intensive volleys.
Among them, only the archers in the second row can shoot directly at the enemy from the captain's side, while the eight in the back fire arrows into the air. The shooting angle gradually increases to 45 degrees from front to back, so that the formation is formed within 300 meters in front of the formation.
Bow and arrow fire coverage.
Several times the player attacked and suffered huge casualties at this distance. When the player was heavily killed by the Persian arrows and was defeated, the Persian infantry began to charge. They put their bows in their quivers, pulled out their scimitars, and charged.
Enter the enemy's position and engage in close combat.
"Be well prepared! Persia is really powerful. Such a phalanx cannot be defeated by players without discipline and unified command!"
Zeng Yi thought for a moment, "Let the people below take a rest first, we have to study how to break the formation!"
In fact, these days of war, Zeng Yi also discovered some problems with the Persian army. For example, the combined recurve bow, which is unique to the grassland people, has only a small amount of equipment in the Persian army, and Zeng Yi estimates that this was only developed after Persia and the grassland formed an alliance.
Got it. Most of the soldiers still use ordinary straight wooden bows. There is no way around it. It's not that Persia doesn't know the power of the combined recurve bow, but the cost of making the combined recurve bow is too high. There are so many people in the Persian army.
It is impossible to eliminate all straight wooden bows at once!
Persian arrows use a triangular broad-edged arrowhead made of bronze with a barb. It has strong killing power but insufficient penetrating power.
"Brothers, do you have any good ideas?"
"...What do you think we can do? This is a military confrontation involving more than 100,000 people. We are just a few rookies. Don't even think about it and just look for foreign help!"
The fourth child nodded, "Go offline first. I'm going to find an old professor from the School of History who studies the history of ancient warfare to see if there is a formation like Persia in history, and how to break such a formation!"
The fourth guy is good at studying and likes to learn all kinds of things. He knows about half of the old professors in the school.
