Chapter 500. Preparation before the decisive battle

The 15,000 heavy cavalry of the Noble Coalition of the Southern County Commander took an hour to reach the center of the battlefield from Seria Fort.

In the center of the battlefield, the 30,000 infantry corps of the Northern County Leader Noble Coalition Army set up a camp with strict rules and regulations.

In this plain at the junction of the Southern Commandery and the Northern Commandery, the two armies could see each other's military momentum more than ten miles apart, so when the three heavy cavalry corps of the Southern Commandery Coalition appeared a kilometer away from the Northern Commandery Noble Alliance, they were ready to meet the cavalry charge.

The outermost ten rows of tents were completely retracted, and all the infantry fully shrunk, retreating between the tents in the inner camp, and even into the tents, gathering into a tight phalanx.

In the face of the charging cavalry, the scattered infantry is simply looking for death, and only by gathering into a dense phalanx can they resist the impact of the cavalry.

The tents inside the phalanx were not put away at all, but only half of the tarpaulins on all sides were rolled up. It's like a parasol with half a curtain hanging down from the top.

The effect of arranging the tent in this way allows the soldiers in the tent to get a nearby view, but they can't see too far away, and they will be blocked by other tents.

Even if the army formation in front of them was broken up by the onslaught of the cavalry ranks, they would not be demoralized if they could not see it, and they could still hold on to a tight formation and resist the enemy's heavy cavalry.

On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and people were injured or killed all the time, and as long as they could not see the rout of their own army formations in front, the screams of the defeated soldiers could not affect the morale of the rear army formations at all.

And the dense military formation did not leave room for the front army formation to impact its own army formation after the collapse of the front army formation, if you dare to retreat to the rear, there are more harsh military regulations waiting, and you will be directly killed by the rear soldiers. Therefore, even if the front army really collapses, it will not have a substantial impact.

In the face of the infantry phalanx of cavalry charging into formation, it is most taboo to break up, which is no different from looking for death.

At the same time, such a tent arrangement can also block the field of vision of the cavalry, so that the cavalry caught in the infantry phalanx will feel isolated and divided due to the blocked line of sight. This is the situation that the heavy cavalry that charges into battle is most afraid of confronting.

The isolated cavalry, caught in the middle of the vast infantry, had a miserable end.

Outside each tent, there were carts loaded with military rations, and even worse, wooden horses made of sharpened logs. The aisle between the tents and the tents is a little narrow with these things.

The effect of these things will make it difficult for the cavalry who rushed into the formation to move an inch.

Inside and between the tents, there was a dense mass of infantry, each with a spear of at least three meters standing beside each infantryman.

It's easy to stab the horsemen!

Such a military formation is simply a nightmare for charging cavalry.

The design of the camp of Fatis brought the essence of infantry against charging cavalry to the extreme.

Only four words.

Static braking!

The idea is to try to make their infantry "quiet", no matter how the cavalry attacks, they just need to stay where they are and stretch out their spears to stab directly.

Do everything possible to limit the "movement" of the cavalry, as long as they can't run, the cavalry that enters the infantry phalanx will become dead men and dead horses.

Although such a camp seems to have great flaws, such as being afraid of fire attacks, it does not hurt to say that it is a complete battle against the heavy cavalry corps of the Nanjun Commander.

What's more, even if the other side really uses fire to attack, Fatis still has corresponding countermeasures, and the formulation of the war plan does not allow such serious omissions.

Not to mention the tragic fate that the heavy cavalry corps of Nanjun led to rush into this infantry phalanx.

For they may not be able to storm into this phalanx of infantry.

Just when the heavy cavalry regiment of 15,000 men and the three southern county lords and nobles was about to enter the charging distance.

"Herald: Sergeant Svadia! Tie the shield! ”

Fatis gave the order.

Fatis stood on a high platform in the middle of the infantry camp to gain a good view.

As a result, it is possible to issue corresponding orders in a timely manner according to changes in the battle situation.

There were ten Svadia royal knights around Fatis, and ten Swadia royal knights wielded extraordinary strength, repeating Fatis's orders together, and the sound resounded throughout the infantry phalanx.

"Herald: Sergeant Svadia! Tie the shield! ”

"Herald: Sergeant Svadia! Tie the shield! ”

"Herald: Sergeant Svadia! Tie the shield! ”

...

As the voice of the Svadia Royal Knight spread throughout the infantry phalanx, the Svadia sergeant on the outermost side of the infantry phalanx raised the tower shield in his hand high, and then thrust heavily into the ground in front of him.

"Boom!"

Uniform movements, the sound converged to form a shocking sound.

The ground shook a little.

Under the tremendous strength of the fifth-level Swadia sergeant, the shield of the lower half of the slender and dense tower shield pierced into the ground at least twenty centimeters.

Sergeant Swadia only needs to use one point of force to withstand the impact of three points.

What's more, Sergeant Swadia's tower shield is so wide that it can completely cover the whole person.

Therefore, the Svadiya sergeant is fully capable of using the method of "stacking shields".

Just like the three "again" characters on the word "stack", it vividly shows what is called the method of "stacking shields".

The first row of shields and the second row of shields are staggered, and the impact force of each first row shield can be shared with the impact force of the second row on both sides, and the impact force of the two second row shields can be shared with the four third row shields.

Sergeant Swadia has an arc in his hand (take a paper roll and let him open it on his own, that's it), and he can perfectly perform the "stacking shield" method.

However, Svadia sergeants are limited, only 1,200, so they can only achieve two layers of "stacked shields"

However, it's not just Swadia Sergeants who have a strong tower shield.

The fourth-level Swadia infantry also has a tower shield, and there is no difference in the size of the tower shield they have, the real difference is only the thickness and material of the tower shield.

Swadia Sergeant is stronger and has much more strength than Swadia infantry, so Swadia Sergeant's tower shield is thicker, heavier, and better material than Swadia infantry, and its defensive ability is much higher than that of the fourth-level Swadia infantry.

But in any case, the fourth-class Swadia infantry can cooperate perfectly with the Swadia sergeant.

800 Swadia infantry, perfect for Swadia sergeant's two-tiered "stacked shields", increased to three.

If a single attack falls on the first layer of shields, then the number of infantry who share the power of the attack will be reduced from three to seven.
