Text Chapter 831 Roman Turtle Formation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Opposite the Kyushu Allied Forces, a team that seemed a bit weird to them rushed out.

    The soldiers of this team were wearing very strange clothes, holding long iron spears, and a very strange and transparent shield.

    These people wore large helmets on their heads. They had never seen such helmets before.  And wearing this big helmet made the people on the opposite side look even more weird.

    A large flag embroidered in gold with the word "¿ª" was fluttering in the wind.  Guiding this team to break out of the enemy's position Where did this army come from?

    When the Kyushu Allied Forces saw the ¡®Imperial Alliance Army¡¯, such an idea came to their minds involuntarily.

    Yes, this is the first time Kyushu people have seen troops wearing such weird attire.

    After all, riot suits and camouflage uniforms would not appear until more than two hundred years later.

    But now, because of Zhao Hongyu, it appeared in the seventeenth century earlier, so it will always be considered a bit nondescript or even very inconsistent by the natives of this world.

    You must know that people¡¯s aesthetic views still vary widely between times.

    However, this is the battlefield now, and clothing is not that important.

    What matters is the combat effectiveness of this strange force on the opposite side.

    ¡°Could it be that the enemy is planning to let a legion of just five or six hundred people attack us?

    Although our side was defeated by the enemy's weapon that had never been seen before, but with powerful destructive power, it seems unrealistic for the opponent to completely defeat us with such a small number of people.

    By this time, Fujita, a sophomore in high school, had completely recovered from being knocked to the ground by shelling.

    So, when he saw Yuji Kawabe and his soldiers rushing out of the enemy's position, he couldn't help but think of this question.

    "Rearrange the team and continue the attack! Now we are very close to the enemy's line. We must not waste all our efforts!"

    The recovered sophomore Fujita, although still frightened by the previous bombardment, quickly made a reasonable judgment and arrangement.

    Yes, the distance between the two sides is now only thirty meters. As long as the whole army works together, we can definitely rush through such a distance.

    Although our side suffered heavy losses in this process, the war situation has reached such a point that we must continue to fight hard.

    Now, if our side is holding on, so is the enemy on the opposite side.

    What is being tested now is the fighting will of both the enemy and ourselves.

    Which side has a stronger will to fight and can grit its teeth and persevere to the end, then the victory will belong to which side.

    Regarding the current war situation, Fujita High School sophomore made such a judgment.

    In fact, Fujita, a sophomore in high school, knows that the party currently struggling to support is not Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side at all, but his Kyushu Allied Forces.

    Although Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side is under pressure, it is not as serious as Fujita High School sophomore thought. Compared with the Kyushu Allied Forces, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side is still relatively relaxed.

    It is impossible for Fujita, a sophomore in high school, to know this.

    Of course, it cannot be said that Fujita is wrong to think so.  After all, judging by common sense, his idea is not only not wrong, but also very reasonable.

    However, what Fujita High School didn¡¯t know was what kind of enemy he faced.  He has not considered the weapons used by the enemy, the weapons used by his own side, and the opponent's battle formation.

    In other words, at this moment, Fujita, a sophomore in high school, was thinking of people like Zhao Hongyu as the army of the cold weapon era, thinking about ways to deal with them.

    ??At this point, Fujita High School sophomore will not understand.

    After all, as a native of the East in the seventeenth century, how could Fujita and the others know so much.

    Therefore, making such a mistake is inevitable.

    Unless there is someone like Zhao Hongyu in Fujita's second-year army, it would be impossible for him to avoid such a mistake.

    However, it is difficult for people like Zhao Hongyu to appear in the Fujita High School Second Army.  You must know that the probability of something like Zhao Hongyu happening is very low.

    Of course, such a guy did appear in this time and space, but his luck was not very good.

    ??Kawabe Yuuji led his infantrymen in a small square formation and came toOn the battlefield.

    They kept poking the seriously injured Japanese with their spears, sending them to the hell of death.

    The soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army in the front row erected their shields in front of them, and then they were tightly pressed against each other without revealing any gaps.

    The battle formation they used was the battle formation of the ancient Romans used by Zhao Hongyu.

    It is also commonly known as the Turtle Formation.

    The soldiers in the center of the battle formation held non-explosion-proof shields above their heads to guard against weapons from the opposite side.

    Compared with the turtle formation of the Romans in history, the turtle formation composed of riot shields has more advantages.  Because this riot shield produced in the virtual century is not only strong but also transparent.

    There is no need to expose a little gap in the ocean like the battle formations of the ancient Romans to observe the situation on all sides.

    Facing this team with weird attire and weird formation, the Kyushu people thirty meters away were extremely curious.

    However, they soon received an order from Fujita Koji, so they put away their curiosity and launched another attack on Kawabe Yuuji and the others.

    At this time, Yuji Kawabe and the Imperial Alliance Army under his command have become an obstacle in the way of the opponent's attack.

    If the frontal attack of the Kyushu Allied Forces wants to go smoothly, then they must be eliminated.

    Therefore, immediately after the Kyushu Allied Forces launched another attack, their target was the Imperial Alliance Army.

    And just in time, the Imperial Alliance Army attracted the attention of the enemies attacking from the front, and also bought a lot of time for the genetic soldiers in the rear, so that they could take advantage of this time to cool down the barrels of the flintlock guns.

    This is the disadvantage of using a flintlock gun. If the barrel is too hot, it needs to be cooled before it can be used again.

    Otherwise, the barrel of the gun will explode and damage the barrel, and even the soldiers will be injured.

    There have been more than a dozen cases of this situation just now, so we have to treat it with caution.

    Of course, a problem like this cannot be solved in the modern era of another time and space.

    Thermal weapons will all have such problems and troubles, and there is absolutely no way to avoid them.

    It¡¯s just that the technology and conditions at that time were relatively mature, so the problem could be solved by replacing the barrel.

    But here in Zhao Hongyu, he does not have such ability.

    "Hold the gun!"

    Kawabe Yuuji himself was in the center of the turtle formation, nervously observing the situation around him.

    ??Zouzo Iguchi is beside him.

    Both of them knew that this time they would either show up or fail.

    If they want to live a better life in the future, then they must withstand the enemy's attack today.

    Therefore, the two men issued a death order to the soldiers, and they must resist the Kyushu people's attack here.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The slender and strong spear penetrated the Kyushu soldiers who rushed over, and skewered them on the spear like meat skewers. It looked very terrifying.

    The unlucky Kyushu soldiers had no time to stop their charge, so they had to continue forward for a certain distance before their bodies could be penetrated before they could stop.

    And because the charge formation is too dense, the people in front are often pushed forward by the people behind, facing the spears and watching them pierce their bodies.

    This is very cruel.

    Soon, a string of Kyushu soldier bodies were strung on the long spear. The soldier threw away the spear because he could not bear the weight.  Fortunately, the soldiers behind handed over the spears in their hands, so the hedgehog formation kept reaching out with spears, causing great damage to the Kyushu soldiers who were charging head-on.

    However, this kind of damage is very small compared to flintlock guns and grenades.

    However, it was very effective in blocking and weakening the enemy's offensive, buying valuable time for the genetic soldiers in the rear.

    The attack from the front has slowed down a bit, but the attacks from the other three sides have begun to become more intense.

    Similarly, the genetic soldiers on the other three sides also began to encounter some situations and troubles such as the frontal position.

    Because the gun is used too frequently, the barrel begins to heat up and needs to be cooled.

    Otherwise, it would be impossible to load gunpowder.

      Every piece of news was reported to Zhao Hongyu in the center of the square array.

    Zhao Hongyu also approved that they can use disposable copycat rocket launchers.

    Even though there seems to be a crisis now, Zhao Hongyu's confidence has not wavered.

    He firmly believed that he would be the one to win the battle in the end.

    Because since the beginning of the war, the losses of the Kyushu Allied Forces have been huge.

    The second charge has continued until now, and the opponent's strength has been reduced by half again, and now only 40,000 troops are left.

    Therefore, as long as Zhao Hongyu and the others can persist to the end, the people of Kyushu will definitely not be able to withstand it.

    You know, since the war started in the morning, the Kyushu people have lost more than 100,000 troops in total.

    They simply have no way to withstand such huge battle losses.

    Therefore, as long as you persist, victory will definitely belong to you.

    In terms of their views on perseverance, Zhao Hongyu and Fujita, a sophomore, are surprisingly consistent.

    However, the sources of confidence that the two sides rely on are very different.

    Fujita, a sophomore, relied on having more troops, while Zhao Hongyu relied on sharp weapons.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
