    Chapter 25 Seven Centurion Brothers

    After winning the Starling Town War on March 8, 1921, the main force of Elantes stayed here to rest and recuperate, waiting for logistical supplies from the rear and training to run into the newly formed troops.  (None.,pop-up windowChinese,ÎÄ,Íø

    "go ahead!"

    "Turn left!"

    "Thrust!"

    "Back off!"

    "Raise your spear!"

    "Raise your shield!"

    "Shake!"

    "Arrow defense mode training completed!"

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan stood on the hillside and admired the drill of Rana's thousand-man phalanx super spear regiment below. He happily asked Rana next to him: "Our spears are swinging against each other. It is very spectacular and powerful. It is very beautiful.  , and can defend against 70% to 85% of arrow attacks. With our shield, it can block about 90% of bow and arrow attacks. This is a very good tactic. I have indeed seen many of our troops do this before.  When used like this, as long as we continue to train like this, we won't worry too much about the enemy's bows and arrows."

    "By the way, in the training just now, I saw that one of the spearmen in the team did not carry a spear, but just held up a flag with various variations. The super spearmen in the team put their spears away respectively.  It¡¯s a good idea to slowly move forward on this continuation.¡±

    Lin Fenghan clapped his hands in surprise and said: "With this support, our super spearmen can better maintain their physical strength when marching in formation, and during battle, they can lift their spears or place them on the support as needed."

    "The workmanship of this joint is really ingenious! When I looked from a distance, I actually found a lot of wooden sticks with various angles. The person who invented this joint is really smart. Rana, do you know where this person is?"

    "Ha ha!"

    "of course I know!"

    Lana happily touched the short beard on his chin, smiled and said to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, you asked the right person this time. You found that the man holding the flag and gun stand is here. He came from the Battle of Waterdeep City."  Just follow your old warrior, but he has a humble status and is a descendant of a slave, but we cannot underestimate him because of his origin. He and several of his companions of the same origin fought very fiercely and made many military exploits.  , have now been promoted to centurions and deputy centurions.¡±

    "oh!"

    Lin Fenghan glanced at Lana in surprise, quickly clasped his hands and said, "Hurry up and call this old soldier and his friends. I want to meet them."

    "Um!"

    Rana patted the shoulder of the guard Carloly and said softly: "Stadolf. Glerit. Pranglis, Remoras, Bultlei, Branlis. Larigis,  All seven of them called and told them that the Baron wanted to see them."

    "yes!"

    Young Caroli nodded and quickly ran down the mountain with three or four people.

    "Um?"

    "Why are there seven people?"

    Lin Fenghan glanced at Lana strangely and asked in confusion.

    "hehe!"

    Lana smiled softly and said with admiration: "These seven people are the lucky ones who escaped from the Cape Seawatch Slave Farm together. They have a very good relationship and cover each other to help themselves on the battlefield. Even if they become officers, they  We also require our respective troops to work together, cooperate with each other, and cover each other in operations."

    "ah!"

    Lin Fenghan nodded in surprise.

    After a while, Carlos came to Lin Fenghan with seven young officers in their twenties like him. Lin Fenghan smiled and scanned the front, and saw the first man on the left who was strong.  Strong and thick, with short blond hair standing straight up, and a cold and tough face; the second person is tall, straight and thin, with a cold and resentful face; the third person has a strong build.  He was not tall, with a three-centimeter long scar from his nose to the left side of his face, and his face was fierce and cold. The fourth person was of medium build and had a stupid look.  His eyes are simple and kind; the fifth person has a medium build and looks similar to the sixth person, but the difference is.  The former is simple and unpretentious, while the latter is clever and agile; the seventh person is short in stature, has a gentle demeanor, slow manner, and is kind and kind.

    "I heard that some of you have discovered many secrets of war, invented the flag gun stand that supports the super long gun phalanx, changed our army, and brought a lot of convenience to everyone. I would like to thank you here and put this flag  The gun rack is extended to the entire super long spearman policy.

    The seven people smiled happily, and the six of them glanced at Staddorf. Twenty-six-seven Staddorf was no longer silent. He took two steps forward, bent down and saluted, and said: "Dear General, I can get your  The compliment is an honor for our brothers.¡±

    "I?The reason why this thing was invented is because we seven brothers worked very hard during the marching training. Especially after becoming super spearmen, many of us couldn't stand it when we held a spear weighing more than ten kilograms tightly for two hours.  , after many times of arranging training, we seven brothers invented this gun stand after thinking and discussing, which can hold a four- to five-meter long gun.  "

    "Since the appearance of this gun stand, brothers have saved a lot of energy and reduced some troubles, thus keeping more energy for fighting the war." Stadoff happily took out a three-meter-long gun stand from his back.  explained proudly.

    "okay!"

    "very good!"

    Lin Fenghan reached out and took over a dozen gun stands and asked curiously: "In the past, when we didn't have this gun stock, what would we do if we were tired from training and tired from progress? After all, the last three people in our team have enough spears."  Six meters long, the special spear is seven meters long."

    Stadoff took a deep breath, rubbed his head tiredly and said: "A few days ago, we only had a force of more than 5,000 super spearmen. Our daily training is mainly to train the basic phalanx. The basic phalanx has 81 people.  , which includes the flag bearer, trumpeter, captain and deputy captain. There are 9 people in the square array horizontally and vertically. The three in front of us are holding four-meter-long spears, the three in the middle are holding five-meter-long spears, and the three in the back are holding 6-meter-long spears.  A meter-long spear.¡±

    "During the battle, everyone is close together according to the situation. On average, each person occupies 1 square meter! The first three people stretch their spears straight and horizontally forward, the middle three people raise their spears slightly and point forward, and the three people behind  The spear should be set up in front at 45 to 70 degrees."

    "General combat is a dense formation. In this formation, the distance between the two people in front and behind is only half a meter, and the distance between the left and right is half a meter. The spears in the first five rows are too long, and the soldiers in the fifth row can easily take five meters.  The long spear can stab three meters beyond the front of the first row of soldiers. The sixth and seventh rows can also extend the spear straight to the enemy's position directly in front, but after experimental examination, we found that there is no such thing.  necessary."

    "Because the five people in front of our formation have their spears pointed forward, and they have already placed a position four meters, three and a half meters, three meters beyond the first person's position in front of the military formation. Three and a half meters, three meters away from us.  In front of the square formation, there are rows of straight spears that are three meters longer than the military formation. Such spears do not need to be stabbed. There is no need to swing and chop. You only need to line up the team and move forward directly. Then the enemy on the opposite side will be in an orderly formation.  It will collapse under our pressure."

    "The sixth row, seventh row, and eighth row behind the phalanx. The ninth row and the phalanx reserve troops behind are slightly tilting their spears in front of the phalanx, ready to lower them at any time to replace the wounded and killed soldiers in front, keeping  The complete order of battle of the phalanx.¡±

    "The reason why the attack distance of the phalanx's spears is set to three meters is because the spearmen of our current enemy nobles in the phalanx are only 2.7 meters long, which is only three meters. According to the current height of human beings, once they grow  When the length of the spear exceeds one-half of a person's height, then the human soldier has no way to swing or stab. Use the spear in your hand. The spears in our phalanx are all specially made, and you invented Elantes  The generals of the super spear phalanx are even more great and admirable." Stadoff bowed to Lin Fenghan with a convinced and respectful attitude.

    "Haha! You're flattered." Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull Stadoff up and said, "I did invent this phalanx, and I also equipped it based on some theories. But our legion phalanx is in line with the times.  There are many things that can only be proven in actual combat training, so I especially want to ask you for your experience and opinions on the advantages, disadvantages, etc. of the phalanx."

    Stadoff glanced at Lin Fenghan in surprise.  He said with admiration: "Lord Baron is so humble, I just do my best. Since the Baron wants to know this, then I will say this."

    "Our spears are divided into nine models. The first is a one-meter-long bronze spearhead, weighs about two kilograms, and is a light javelin and flying spear. It is mainly distributed to cavalry, light infantry, and heavy infantry; the second one is one-meter-two meters long.  The bronze spearhead guard, which weighs three to four kilograms, is a heavy javelin and is mainly distributed to light infantry and heavy infantry. The third is an infantry spear, which is 1.5 to 1.7 meters long and weighs three to four kilograms. It is mainly distributed to light infantry.  The fourth category is a spear made of pure bronze and iron, with a length of 1.8 to 2 meters and a weight of 78 kilograms. It is mainly used for heavy infantry. The fifth category is a three-meter long spear with a bronze tip or  Wrought iron spear points are mainly distributed to logistics infantry and defensive cavalry; the sixth category is a four-meter-long special super long spear, which is allocated to bronze and iron spear points, weighing four kilograms, and is allocated to square infantry; the seventh category is a five-meter super long spear  "The eighth category is a six-meter long gun, and the ninth category is a small number of seven-meter long gun."

    "Our super long spears are carefully calculated and carefully processed. The front of the spear is slightly longer and pointed., thick and short at the back, and there is a sharp bronze hammer under the spear. The iron spear in front and the bronze hammer below interact with each other. At the place where the spears shake hands, Master Ali specially designed a balance point, holding it in his hand.  With this balance point we won't spend too much effort holding the spear.  "

    "In the past, there was only one balance point for holding spears. Although it was very convenient when marching and moving straight forward in battle, it would be very difficult for the soldiers in the rear rows and those with their spears tilted to carry out complex battles.  , so we later designed our own design and found a balance point of tilt angle on the super long gun based on our feelings, and tied ropes around this balance point to increase the supporting weight. In the following month, all the newly manufactured spears had their own  There are at least three balance points, and scales and marks are drawn on these three balance points for our convenience.¡±

    Stadoff asked for a five-meter-long spear from the brother on the side. He pointed at the three circular red line marks on the spear and handed it to Lin Fenghan and said, "Baron, you can come and hold it and try it."

    "oh!"

    Lin Fenghan held the middle mark, the lower mark, and the higher mark to shake hands respectively. He discovered the various uses of the four-meter-long super long gun. He said happily: "This handshake position is really well designed! The middle handshake is just right.  Let the person stand and hold the spear straight. The lower one only needs one hand to hold the end of the spear more than fifty centimeters in front of it to easily point the spear horizontally forward. The upper one requires both hands.  Working together, you can easily point the spear forward at various angles according to the difference in strength, it is really exquisite!"

    "Um!"

    Stadoff nodded and said hesitantly: "Baron, although our spears and phalanx are indeed very exquisite, there are still some imperfections that we don't know whether to talk about or not."

    "talk!"

    "You all tell me what shortcomings you have. This is very important. I will give you relative rewards based on your opinions." Lin Fenghan said seriously as he looked at the few people who were talking.

    Branlis, who was slightly shorter and thinner, raised his hands first, took a step forward and said: "Baron, then we are not polite. Let's talk about the infantry super pike phalanx! I feel that the shields of the infantry in our phalanx are a bit  Too small, and some are too big. For example, the shields we use now are standard 70 cm long round shields. These shields are very small compared to the soldiers in the first row of the front line, because this shield can only protect the chest.  , so the size of the shields in the first row of the front line should be increased."

    "If the enemy in the row behind shoots arrows, then our warriors holding up a round shield with their left hand and shaking the spear with their right hand can indeed resist many arrows. However, this round shield cannot be too standard and must be adapted to everyone's body shape. For example,  Me, I feel good about a 70cm long shield, but as I am a tall person, this shield is very uncomfortable for him to hold. It can only protect half of the shoulder, which is very unreasonable, so I ask Baron, can you order permission?  Soldiers on the battlefield are free to carry weapons that suit their body shape as long as they comply with the specifications of the phalanx."

    "Um!"

    "Yes!"

    "Agree!"

    "I support!"

    "I support it too!"

    ??????? Stadoff, Grelit, Pranglis, Remoras, Bultle, and Larrigis nodded one after another.

    Lin Fenghan glanced at Lana, who nodded slowly. Lin Fenghan turned slightly, looked at the people in front of him seriously, and said loudly: "I agree with your proposal. From today on, cavalry, spearmen,  Swordsmen and archers can carry weapons and other supply tools that do not exceed the combat load without affecting group operations, and can choose spears, daggers, shields, helmets, and armor that suit them."

    "Very good!"

    "Long live the general!"

    "Long live the Baron!"

    ¡­¡­

    Stadoff and the others said in surprise.
