Two waves of short guns were thrown, a total of tens of thousands of short guns were thrown, and more than 2,000 people fell in an instant, and nearly 1,000 people were wounded.

It can be said that with only two waves of short spear throwing, this army that is ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with steel wings has already been deprived of half of its combat power!

Anno glanced at the short spears of the people around him, and his face showed a little regret.

The standard equipment of steel wings is three short guns, a long spear, a heavy shield, and a chopping knife, although they belong to the heavy infantry, but they do not wear heavy armor, but only use willow nail breastplates to protect a few key points, and even the skirt armor and combat boots of regular heavy infantry are not worn. Such a heavy infantry, although it has higher mobility, is by no means very good in terms of defensive ability, otherwise Ternch would not have ordered the archers to attack from a distance first.

However, Turnch would never know that the first standard tactical move that soldiers who joined the Iron Wings needed to learn was the Roman phalanx.

Of course, this phalanx has naturally undergone some modifications.

At least in the case of Steel Wings, unless they are special armor-piercing or enchanted arrows, even Mitsubishi Armor-Piercing Arrows or Silver-Tip Armor-Piercing Arrows will hardly cause attrition on Steel Wings. The reason why Anno showed regret was that there were too few short guns, and they could only throw them three times, and only the team led by Abazar and Quake was equipped with five short guns, otherwise they wouldn't even need hand-to-hand combat, as long as they kept throwing short guns, they could take out their opponents.

In hand-to-hand combat with a frontal charge, Anno did not have much confidence.

But Anno didn't know what to do, the reason why he didn't have confidence was because he was comparing the steel wings with the Thunder Lion, if it was only compared with the private army in front of him, then the steel wings would be much stronger than them. It can even be said that after the two short gun throws just now. The morale of this army has completely dropped to the bottom, and it can be regarded as Turnch's training before it has been defeated at the moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Anno waved his hand again and gave the order to attack, and the formation of the steel-winged troops did not change in the slightest, and they continued to move forward with a steady pace.

Turnch's face was pale, and he couldn't figure it out anyway, why could they barely exert any strength when facing this army, when they obviously had the advantage? The unbelieving Ternch once again ordered the archers to release their arrows, and ordered all the remaining infantry to charge at once, though he did not know what the steel-winged troops did not throw the last spear. But he didn't dare to let the steel wings throw the last of these short guns, because the lethality was so amazing.

Although he knew that a short spear throw was far more lethal than a bow and arrow at short distances, he had never seen a short spear throw with such astonishing lethality.

But at the moment. He was no longer allowed to think about it, because the two sides had been completely strangled together.

Just two waves of arrow rain covered. Still failed to cause any damage to the steel wings. But Turnch knew that if he wanted to use his ranged attack to inflict damage on the Iron Wing, then the only way to do it was to take advantage of the fact that the two sides were completely strangled together. But he also knew that if he did this, it would also cause damage to his own soldiers, and even directly lead to the complete defeat of the front-line troops.

At this moment. Turnch immediately fell into a kind of entanglement, because he did not expect that the army he had trained by his own hands would be so weak!

It's ridiculous to be so weak that it can't even defeat an army of Northland barbarians!

But the next moment. Turnch's face changed again, it was no longer surprise, but horror!

On the battlefield, it is true that the steel wings and the enemy army have completely entered a state of strangulation, but the change in the situation is not at all as unbearable as Anno imagined.

The infantry in front of the enemy army and the soldiers with steel wings almost collided with each other, not to mention that they wanted to cause the collapse of the steel wing formation, almost even the array in the front row of steel wings could not be shaken, but in the process of colliding with each other, they were hit by the powerful northland barbarians and could not stand on their feet at all.

And once the front collision cannot gain a foothold, then there will be a momentary confusion in the front because the troops in the rear row want to keep up eagerly. If they were facing the hedging of other armies, this small front confusion would of course be negligible, but they were now facing an elite army that would never make any fatal mistakes, so there was almost no need to think, the northland barbarians in the front row had already set up their shields and spears, only to see rows of spears piercing out from behind the shield array, and when the spears were retracted, the tip of the spear and the front end of the spear body had already been stained red with blood, and nearly a hundred light infantry who were just wearing leather armor fell directly with their eyes scattered.

But this is not the end, because after this round of sudden attack, all the soldiers with steel wings have a sense of ease, so there is almost no need for Anno to give any new orders, the first half of the entire phalanx immediately retreats to the left and right without hesitation, and at the same time continues to move forward without the slightest pause, and the spears in their hands are constantly piercing out from behind the shield wall, but this time it is not full force.

In such a situation, in order to avoid being attacked by the steel wings to continue to be large-scale, these private soldiers naturally have to keep moving, and they still have this basic tactical literacy. But instead of retreating, they fended off the attack as they advanced, as if two armies were greeting each other.

But Ternch, who was standing on a high point in the distance, could see very clearly.

And it was precisely because he could see clearly that his face became so frightened.

Because in his eyes, the entire steel-winged phalanx suddenly turned into a "concave" formation, and the soldiers under his command were like cattle and sheep being driven, constantly being driven into the gap in the middle. Hardly need to think about it, Turnch also understands that this is a typical pocket tactic of sports warfare, this tactic is not very clever, and it can even be said that because it is a relatively old tactic, many commanders have studied it very thoroughly, and it is almost impossible to be fooled.

But in fact, the army he trained with his own hands was not only fooled, but also didn't find a problem at all, and was still stupidly advancing deep into his pocket.

Maybe 5,000 people can't completely surround the remaining 4,000 people, but as long as this tactical formation is completely completed. Then the army under his command may be completely abolished. And if you want to break a pocket formation that has been completed, then it is necessary to have the strong intervention of a third army to make it possible, but regardless of the final outcome, Turnch knows that those soldiers who enter the pocket may not be able to survive.

This can be known by looking at the ferocity of those northern barbarians in the steel wings.

If before today, someone had told the Turnch Northland barbarians that they could also be a soldier, and that they could play so well, he would have sneered in return.

"Shoot!" Turnch was also a resolute man, and he knew that he would not be able to keep the infantry no matter what. He did not hesitate to treat them all as outcasts, but even if it seemed that the outcasts had to squeeze out the last bit of their usefulness, "Shoot freely, shoot all the arrows out of me in the shortest possible time!" ”

"But ...... sir," said one of the archers, hesitatingly, glancing at his own troops, who had already entered the pockets of the steel wings. At this time, if we shoot, we will suffer the most casualties......"

"Do you think I can't see it?" Turnch roared furiously. "Do you want to watch our people die in vain? Right now. Shoot me at all costs, this is the opportunity that 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 moment's hesitation, all the archers quickly chose to obey the order.

This distance is not a problem for them to shoot, but it is very difficult for soldiers who want to accurately shoot the steel wings. But they also know it. Even though they had never seen that strange shield phalanx before, they knew that their attacks in that state really had no effect, unless they used stronger arrows.

Massive numbers of arrows began to fall desperately on the battlefield of Iron Feather and Tinchiin's private army, because they only pursued the frequency of shooting. So the strength will naturally decrease slightly. However, despite this, the arrows were affected by the gravitational effect from the air, and these downed arrows could still cause very terrible damage, and hundreds of Northland barbarians who were caught off guard were directly killed by these arrows on the spot.

This is the first time that the steel wings have been reduced in battle since the start of the war!

Seeing the enemy's desperate attack, Anno immediately understood the enemy's intentions, and he immediately no longer hesitated and hesitated, and immediately ordered the military formation to change the formation again, and the entire steel-winged troops immediately began to pour directly from both sides towards the middle, and completely cut the enemy army into two parts.

The private soldiers who entered the pocket were immediately surrounded by people from all sides, but since the steel wings surrounded them, of course they would not have any thoughts of capturing them alive. The innermost circle of steel-winged soldiers began to squeeze towards the middle, they used heavy shields to resist the opponent's desperate attacks, constantly compressing the opponent's activity space, and at the same time, every time they squeezed a little space forward, the spears in their hands would immediately stab into the encirclement, and the screams sounded again and again for a while.

And the steel-winged soldiers on the periphery did not participate in this strangulation, they still maintained the direction facing outward, and then stood up with shields and guns, and the formation they put out was actually a defensive formation. But at this moment, these steel-winged soldiers were obviously thinking too much, because Turnch's order to shoot without distinguishing between the enemy and me had completely collapsed the entire private army under his command, and at this time, those private soldiers who were lucky enough not to enter the encirclement were thinking about how to escape, and how could they continue to fight with these steel-winged soldiers.

As for the steel-winged soldiers in the middle, they also did not join in the siege, but held their heavy shields high to resist the rain of arrows from the sky.

This is the tactical formation that William tailor-made for the steel wings that integrates attack and defense: the steel killing array!

As the screams grew weaker and weaker, the encirclement in the middle of the steel killing array was getting smaller and smaller, and everyone knew what it meant.

A large amount of blood had already stained the land beneath the steel wings red, and the blood that continued to flow was almost forming a red stream.

And at this moment, there was a tremor in the earth again!

On the left and right sides of the Iron Wings army, two cavalry units with the same banner appeared at the same time.

Dabiang 2nd Cavalry Regiment! (To be continued......)
