Section 12 Elantra Super Lance Phalanx Legion (please collect)
Lin Fenghan looked at the surprised navy captain and others who looked satisfied and continued to speak: "We have discussed most of the current affairs. Now I want to say what I have been thinking about for a long time."
Lin Fenghan stared at the people in front of him, slowly waited for the hall to calm down, then stood up seriously and said: "I am going to transform the current army and establish a brand new infantry square. All army branches will be aligned with this square." The formation cooperates and coordinates to fight together.¡±
"The infantry phalanx I want to build belongs to the super pikemen phalanx. At present, the spears used by our pikemen and pikemen are 1.2 meters, 1.7 meters, and 2.3 meters respectively. They are used to deal with them respectively. The cavalry, infantry, and spearmen gathered into a square formation are particularly effective when defending against the enemy, but after being dispersed, the close combat ability is particularly low. Therefore, our spear infantry is generally assigned a fifty to seven A ten centimeter dagger to prevent continued battlefield lethality after the battle dispersed.¡±
"As for the phalanx infantry I want to build, every soldier will have a spear with a length of four meters, four and a half meters, or five meters, and rely on super long weapons to kill the enemy."
"etc!"
Lana stood up in surprise, looked at Lin Fenghan and said: "Lord Baron, I am a spearman. You said that each infantryman should be equipped with a five-meter-long spear. How can such a spear be used in battle? "
"Baron! Do you know how long five meters is?"
Rana stood up and walked from the left to the right of the upper row, passing six or seven people. He gestured and said: "The five-meter-long wooden pole can only be used as the flag of the centurions and the general's guard in the army. If it is used as a spear, Then even if a warrior can hold it with both hands, he can't do anything except thrust forward."
"Yes!"
Dawu also stood up and looked at Lin Fenghan in surprise and explained: "I am also a spearman. Generally, spearmen are equipped with helmets, breastplates or leather armors, and are 1.5 to 1.7 meters long. Spear, a spear of this length is about the same height as a person's body. It is also very easy to control. It can thrust, move laterally, and chop vertically. It can be used in battle to be as good as the swordsman and infantry. The height is 2.7 meters. , a 3.3-meter cavalry spear cannot be controlled at all. The cavalry can kill the enemy after stabbing the enemy on the horse, while the infantry holding a 3.3-meter spear can not only defend the cavalry, but also stab the cavalry. Apart from the war horses, it is difficult for the troops to make other movements in the formation. Once such spearmen are approached, there is no other way out except for being killed and escaping, and other than collective defense."
"Um!"
"Um!"
Ramsay also followed and said: "Lord Baron, in my opinion, apart from being used as a flagpole or used by elite cavalry in the front row, a five-meter-long spear has no use as a weapon for other types of arms."
"Yeah?"
Lin Fenghan stood up neatly, walked outside and said, "Everyone, come with me to the castle grounds to have a look."
"Vera, go and take out the spare flagpole and super long gun that you prepared earlier, and call all the Guards Centurions over."
"yes!"
Together, everyone followed Lin Fenghan to the stone school grounds covering an area of ??more than 300 square meters in the Shenmu City Castle.
Coland couldn't help but feel doubtful as he looked at the empty square, and asked suspiciously: "Baron! You must know that a strong flagpole or a five-meter-long spear weighs at least 7 to 15 kilograms. Such a heavy weight , with such a long length, it is difficult for soldiers to keep moving with one hand."
"Once a spear infantry picks up this weapon, he must give up the bulky bronze breastplate or other armor. He can only wear light armor such as composite leather armor, rattan armor, etc., and he cannot carry heavy or large shields such as bronze shields, otherwise he will It will affect mobility and flexibility.¡±
"It can be concluded from this that if a soldier really wants to pick up a five-meter-long super-long gun, he must carry a very light load, wear light armor, a helmet, and a small shield of about 70 centimeters. Once such a soldier is approached, , then he will definitely die!"
Lin Fenghan said in a condensed voice: "Rana, Davout, and Kelande, what you said all makes sense. Now I will explain it to you slowly."
Lin Fenghan looked at Vera and others walking from a distance, picked up a four-meter-long spear from the weapons rack next to the school ground and said, "Look, both the spear and the flagpole are thick at the back and sharp at the front. , and in this flagpole, each of our soldiers can easily find a node that can be picked up easily and keep the spear balanced. As long as we hold it with one hand on this borrowing point, we can pick up a spear with minimal effort. Spear."
"Similarly, we can calculate this node and use it to make an extra-long spear."?
"On the battlefield, our five-meter-long spears can be two or three meters longer than the enemy's weapons. At this length, hundreds of spears are stacked one on top of the other. No enemy can do anything when facing such a phalanx of spears. , our super long spear phalanx can easily defeat them."
"Really?" Davout asked quickly: "If the enemy quickly moves to the flank of the phalanx, what will happen to the phalanx?"
Lin Fenghan nodded gently and said, "This requires cooperation in fighting."
"Vera! Assemble!"
Lin Fenghan quickly commanded: "The phalanx we want to build has 9 people in a row, and 9 rows vertically. There are 81 people in a small phalanx, and 81 people form a basic phalanx. In the marching team, any phalanx leader The spearmen are not allowed to leave at will. If they escape without authorization during the phalanx battle, those who pursue them will be dealt with severely. We will use discipline to ensure the integrity of the basic super spearmen phalanx."
"A team of 81 people forms a basic square formation, a platoon of 162 people forms a second team, a company consists of 324 people from the second platoon, a battalion consists of 648 people from the second company, a regiment consists of 1,296 people from the second battalion, a brigade consists of 2,592 people from the second regiment. A brigade of 5,184 men forms a division.¡±
"A basic square formation has 9 people horizontally and 9 rows vertically. The formations are arranged in order according to the density of the enemy's formation. If the enemy's formation is very weak, then one of our square formations can be in a separate row. If the enemy's formation is dense, then we use Two phalanx brigades and three phalanx brigades form a deep joint phalanx."
Lana raised his hand thoughtfully and said seriously: "What you said, Baron, does make sense, but there is a problem I haven't been able to figure out. That is, all of us in the phalanx use five-meter-long spears. Once we encounter What should we do if there is an emergency, or the enemy forces us to close in at a huge cost? I think this is indeed a bit unreasonable."
"Yes!" Lin Fenghan nodded with bright eyes: "Lana, what you said makes sense, and I have already thought of it, so I divided a small square array into 9 rows horizontally and vertically, and the first three rows were allocated larger shields. They are equipped with long swords and long spears of about three meters. The three rows in the middle are equipped with small shields and 4-meter long spears, and the rear is equipped with light equipment and 5-meter long super long spears."
"The spears in the phalanx can be stacked up front and back, one layer above the other. No matter which direction we face, at least 5 rows of spears can always pierce straight out of the formation. The first row to contact our enemy, one person We will face spear thrusts from five people in front and behind us."
"Our spears at the rear will not be idle. Our spears are specially made. They can kill enemies in the front, and can also hold bronze heavy spears in the back. When the troops in the rear pass by the front, they can use the bronze heavy spears under the spears. Spears kill in the ground as we pass, apostles attack our enemies."
"In our phalanx infantry, each soldier will occupy a distance of about 1 to 1.5 meters according to the situation. These gaps can be adjusted at any time. We can allow the injured, those who have lost their equipment, auxiliary archers, and spearmen in the front to advance at any time. retreat."
"You see, I plan to allocate the phalanx like this."
"For example, if we have a division of 5,184 super pikemen, then we usually allocate 1,000 archers or long-range harpooners to the front before the war, and in the middle and rear after the war. 1,000 large shield swordsmen infantry , 1,000 heavy shield infantry, 1,000 light cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and more than 500 more than a dozen artillery units equipped with ballistae, ballistae, and trebuchets. These are a total of 10,000 troops. Form a legion.¡±
"When this legion is fighting, the loose swordsmen are in the front and center of the phalanx, the heavily armored spearmen are on the left wing, the right wing covers the center, the archers are in the front and rear and shoot, and the light cavalry and heavy cavalry are assigned to the two wings according to the situation. , the artillery, food and logistics infantry are at the rear. This phalanx compound army can easily defeat the same number of infantry of the current Kingdom of Dambreth and even other kingdoms through the cooperation of many parties."
Lin Fenghan drew a formation on the ground with his eyebrows flying, and looked at everyone passionately.
"good!"
"good!"
"What a wonderful idea!"
¡°It¡¯s so exquisite!¡±
"Super pikemen phalanx for defense, archers for long-range shooting, pikemen and swordsmen for cover, cavalry for mobile attacks, and artillery for long-range coordinated attacks. This formation is really awesome!"
"Baron! Not to mention your record, relying solely on your achievements in creating this phalanx, you are the best general in the world."
Everyone spoke in admiration and praise.
Lin Fenghan stretched out his hands without changing his expression, looked at the people who were slowly calming down, and said, "Although I have figured out this square formation, we still need everyone to work hard to perfect and discover every detail. In the next time , I will studyFind the best proportion of the spear. At that time, we can rely on the iron ore in Shenmu City, the rich mineral deposits and timber resources in the Senwei Mountains to arm an army that is unparalleled in the world. "
"During this period, the tasks of making spears, making shields, training troops, reforming the organization of the troops, conducting combined exercises, and training the troops into elite troops will be troublesome for everyone!"
"We must work together to fulfill the Baron's instructions!"
"Don't worry, Baron!"
"We are determined to complete the mission!"
