[military advantage: the will of the northern barbarians (when the army is composed of all northern barbarians, all abilities are increased by 50%)]
This brilliance is not visible to the naked eye, but more like a sublimation of the soul. But although he could not see the brilliance, he could feel the momentum change of the steel wings, which seemed to be more fierce than before, which made a bad idea rise in his heart. However, since turnkey has decided not to underestimate the steel wings, when this idea rises from the bottom of his heart, he will certainly not continue to blindly let the army attack.
He soon ordered the army to be divided into two groups, and 3000 archers were left behind, about 500 meters away from the steel wings, which could give full play to the maximum power of all archers. The 7000 men of the former army are composed of two kinds of soldiers. The front is the light infantry wearing leather armor. Their weapons are short swords and round shields. Their role is to entangle the enemy and create greater chaos as much as possible; Behind the four thousand light infantry, there are three thousand halberds. Once the light infantry in front create enough chaos, these halberds will start to carry out the interpenetrating tactics of the enemy like a sharp blade while maintaining the advantage of medium distance. Once the enemy's formation is successfully separated, the rest will be human flesh.
This set of tactics has been perfected in tench's hands.
Almost without thinking, tench's hand suddenly waved down, and 3000 arrows formed the first wave of arrow rain, which had been drawn empty and fell.
”Meat!”
Anno let out a cold drink.
All of a sudden, there was another neat roar, and 5000 soldiers with steel wings immediately raised their heavy shields to the top. In the twinkling of an eye, a layer of defense shield composed of heavy shields was added to the heads of these northern barbarians. What's more surprising is that the whole movement was as smooth as clouds and water, without any pause and intermission.
”Ding -”
The arrow rain poured down, but it could not shoot through these heavy shields at all. It could not even be embedded into the shield surface, leaving only a tinkling sound like hail landing.
Both tench and his soldiers are silly at the moment. They never thought that the experience of steel wings in dealing with bow and arrow shooting was so old. Originally, tench planned to bully the gap between the actual combat experience of the two armies, but judging from the action of steel wings, their actual combat experience will never be worse.
In fact, it is true, or the steel wings are much better than the private army led by tinchien.
While these people were still looking for the bad luck of bandits, steel wings had deployed defense in the panxia Rift Valley and had fought with elite troops in other territories for many times. Of course, the growth obtained from this practical experience was faster than those private troops led by tingqiin.
Not to mention that steel wing has been officially promoted to level 4 army, even if it is still the strength before, this army will never be the opponent of steel wing - of course, it is OK to cause a certain degree of damage. But at this moment, tench made the most fatal mistake - even though he thought he paid enough attention to the iron wings, his inner pride still made him despise the army composed of northern barbarians.
So at the moment, it is obviously a fatal mistake to still use the cutting tactics that use infantry as cavalry!
You know, steel wings are not a heavy infantry specially used to resist cavalry. They are not the kind of tin cans that can't move at all!
”Kebabs!”
Seeing that the enemy soldiers in front were less than 200 meters away from him, anno whispered a new battle order.
All the northern barbarians suddenly stopped, put down their heavy shields, and slowly pulled out their short guns in the confused look of the enemy.
Seeing this scene, tench's face suddenly changed.
But before he gave any new instructions, the steel wing had thrown out the short gun in his hand!
Five thousand short guns!
It made a sharp whistling sound at low altitude and then fell into the array of light infantry rushing in front.
These short guns are high-quality weapons specially bought by Sean. There is little doubt about their sharpness. Coupled with the strength of the northern barbarians and the short distance of 200 meters, how can these light infantry equipment resist this round of gun throwing attack?
Almost in an instant, more than half of the light infantry fell.
For a moment, there was a cry on the battlefield.
But this is not the end, because all the northern barbarians have begun to draw out the second shotgun, and then throw it again without hesitation!
Tnch's face became very pale at this moment.
