Chapter 489 (2/2)
And it was because he could see clearly that his face became so frightened.
Because in his eyes, the whole square array of steel wings suddenly turned into a ”concave” array, and the soldiers under his command were like driven cattle and sheep, constantly driven into the gap in the middle. There is almost no need to think about it. Tench also understands that this is a typical pocket tactic of mobile warfare. This tactic is not very clever. It can even be said that because it is an ancient tactic, many commanders have studied it very thoroughly, and it is almost impossible to be fooled.
But in fact, the army he trained himself was not only deceived, but also did not find any problems at all. He was still foolishly moving deep into his pocket.
Maybe five thousand people can't completely surround the remaining four thousand people, but as long as this tactical formation is completely completed, I'm afraid his army will be completely abandoned. If you want to break a completed pocket formation, you must have the strong intervention of the third army. However, no matter what the final result is, tench knows that it is difficult for those soldiers who enter the pocket to survive.
This can be seen from the ferocity of those northern barbarians with steel wings.
If someone had told him before today that the northern barbarians of Tenchi could also become soldiers and play so well, he would have sneered at him.
”Shoot!” Tench was also a decisive man. After he knew that he could not protect the infantry in any case, he did not hesitate to treat them all as abandoned children, but even if it seemed that the abandoned children must squeeze out their last use, ”shoot freely and shoot all arrows for me in the shortest time!”
”But Sir...” an archer glanced at his own troops who had completely entered the steel wing pocket and said with some hesitation, ”if you shoot at this time, we will suffer the most casualties...”
”Do you think I can't see it?” Turnkey roared angrily, ”are you going to watch our people die in vain? Now, shoot me recklessly. This is the chance those brothers gave you in exchange for their lives! It's the only chance to hurt that damn army from a distance! ”
After only a slight hesitation, all the archers soon chose to obey the order.
This distance is not a problem for them, but it is very difficult to accurately shoot the soldiers with steel wings. But they also knew that although they had never seen the strange shield array, they knew that their attack did not have any effect in that state unless they used stronger arrows.
A large number of arrows began to fall recklessly towards the battlefield of steel wings and tingqi's private army. Because they only pursue shooting frequency, their strength will naturally decrease slightly. However, despite this, the arrows are affected by the addition of gravity from the air. These arrows can still cause terrible damage. Hundreds of unprepared northern barbarians were directly shot and killed by these arrows on the spot.
This is the first battle attrition of steel wings since the war!
Seeing the enemy's desperate attack, anno immediately understood the enemy's intention. Without hesitation and hesitation, he immediately ordered the army to change the formation again. The whole iron winged army immediately poured directly from both sides towards the middle, and forcibly cut the enemy army into two parts.
The tingqi private soldiers who entered the pocket immediately fell into heavy encirclement in all directions, but since the steel wings surrounded them, they certainly wouldn't want to catch them alive. The steel winged soldiers in the innermost circle began to squeeze towards the middle. They used the heavy shield to resist the other party's desperate attack and constantly compressed the other party's activity space. At the same time, every time they squeezed a little space forward, the long gun in their hands would immediately stab into the encirclement circle, and screams for a time.
Those steel winged soldiers on the periphery did not participate in the hanging. They still kept facing outward, and then set up shields and guns. The array was actually a firm defense array. But at this moment, these steel winged soldiers obviously thought too much, because tench ordered the shooting regardless of the enemy and ourselves, which had completely collapsed the whole private army under him. At this time, those private soldiers who were lucky not to enter the encirclement were thinking about how to escape and how to continue to fight with these steel winged soldiers.
As for the steel winged soldiers in the middle, they also did not participate in the siege, but held high their shields to resist the arrow rain from the sky.
This is William's tailor-made tactical array integrating attack and defense for steel wings: Steel kill array!
With the scream getting weaker and weaker, the encirclement in the middle of the steel killing array has become smaller and smaller. Everyone knows what this means.
A lot of blood has dyed the land under the steel wings red, and the blood that continues to flow almost forms a red stream.
At this time, the earth trembled again!
Just as like as two peas of steel, the two sides of the army were on the right side of the army.
The second cavalry regiment of dabion!
