281. The Will of the Barbarians of the Northland

In the midst of the billowing smoke and dust, a large force soon appeared at one end of the horizon.

It was a well-equipped and massive infantry army.

As the private army of the Hasteen family in the Tinchiin Domain, this army is one-third of the strength of the entire territory.

The gallop of 10,000 people, of course, will not be light, even if it is not as good as the rolling thunder of the cavalry charge, it can definitely be regarded as earth-shattering.

The leader of this army is a middle-aged man.

He is Domingo's uncle, a direct member of the Hasteen family, and is himself responsible for the training of the entire territory's private army. Although there is still a gap compared to Domingo, but in the entire Hasting family, his leading talent is second only to Domingo, of course, this is without counting Sein, if Sein's identity is recognized, then this middle-aged man can only be relegated to the third.

However, it is precisely because Sein's identity is not recognized that he will be in charge of this army.

Of course, all he can command is these 10,000 private soldiers, and the command of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom is not on him, but on Taylor.

As for Domingo and Sain, neither was there for them.

Not every lord is like Sean, who always rushes to the front line in the event of a war.

But judging from the fact that Domingo sent a direct member of the family and Taylor, it is clear that he is very concerned about attacking the Dairlands.

The smoke and dust are billowing out, and the galloping army has a magnificent momentum.

But after continuing to advance for nearly a hundred meters, this army finally found an army that was intercepting their path.

If the Hastings' private army is a wave, then the army that is intercepting in front of them at this moment is a reef.

The whole army has been lined up in a phalanx, the lineup is very compact, there is no gap, at a glance, you can see that the cooperation of this army is very tacit, and the army quality is very high. If anyone else is replaced, such a phalanx will be discharged. Turnch would definitely not react, but at this moment, the phalanx in front of him was the Northland barbarians who were recognized as the least suitable for becoming soldiers in the whole continent!

Turnch. Hasting, only slightly surprised, immediately calmed down. No matter how disdainful he was when he heard about the Iron Wings army before, he no longer had this mentality, because as the commander of the private army of the family led by Tinchiin, he knew very well what the quality of the army under his command was, and there was no comparison with the Iron Wings.

However, Turnch is not the least worried.

He knew that his army might not be particularly good, but when it came to fighting, he was not afraid of anyone at all. In recent years, he has been leading this private army to clean up bandits and robbers in his territory, and the battle has not been less than that. He is convinced that even if his army is not as good as the other party, it will definitely not be inferior to this so-called steel wing in terms of combat.

The Northland barbarians are not suitable to be soldiers, this sentence is not a casual statement.

Turnch's hand raised. The entire army that was still running had already begun to slow down, and a sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth: Heavy infantry? Perhaps very advantageous when dealing with cavalry. But in the absence of any other troops. Heavy infantry is a dish, even light infantry can easily defeat a heavy infantry legion, because no country on the continent has ever dared to directly form a pure heavy infantry, usually in the mixed infantry regiment there will be a regiment, which is still specially used to prevent cavalry charges and raids.

Turnch had already laughed at Pandaling's ignorance in his heart, if he had known that the Iron Wings were a pure heavy infantry legion. It would be enough for him to bring 20,000 men directly over to destroy this legion, and there would be no need for Taylor and his 30,000 light horsemen to go out at all.

Seeing Turnch and his 10,000 soldiers begin to slow down their charge, and quickly change into an attack formation as they run, Anno's face did not fluctuate in the slightest. He just raised the steel spear in his hand in the same way and pointed forward, and the entire steel wing began to meet the enemy in front of him in a neat and uniform pace.

The earth began to tremble.

But not because of Turnch and the 10,000 men under his command, but because of the steel wings, this army, which in the eyes of many people was simply scrappy, moved forward with a neat and uniform step. Every time the five thousand people lifted and landed, there was only a heavy roar, as if a giant was constantly advancing, and at this moment, in Turnch's eyes, the steel wings suddenly became taller, and the strong killing intent momentum even made him feel a trembling in his heart.

How can it be?

This was Turnch's first thought.

But how could he know that for the Northland barbarians, being able to eat enough was their greatest happiness. Therefore, when others complained about the fatigue of training, the Northland barbarians never stopped for a moment, they knew that their understanding was not good, but they were willing to spend more time practicing how to form a neat phalanx, how to maintain the unity of the forward rhythm, how to change the formation in the attack, how to shoot, how to shoot.

Even people like Anno worked hard to learn words that seemed meaningless to him, and even followed William to learn what tactics were, what tactical judgment was, and what strategic vision was. Before becoming Sean's follower, Anno would never have imagined that he would have such a day, no matter how whimsical he was, so he was grateful to Sean and William, and it was because of gratitude that he worked hard to learn these things.

This is the iron will that belongs to the barbarians of the Northlands!

If Sean was here at this time, then he could find that the original steel wings only had a gray light, but it was condensed at this time, exuding a brilliance that was almost bright!

This kind of brilliance, if Sean sees it, he will definitely not be unfamiliar with it, because this is exactly the sign of the army's upgrade!

At this moment, Steel Wings was finally promoted from a quasi-fourth-level army to a true fourth-level army!

【Army: Steel Wings】

[Strength: Level 4]

[Number of people: 5011]

[Commander: Anno]

[Commander Skill - Steady Advance: When the skill is activated, none of the soldiers of the army will enter a state of exhaustion and weakness]

[Morale: Fearless]

[Faith: Pious Followers (Armies Will Never Fail)]

[War Skill: N/A]

[Army Advantage: Will of the Northland Barbarians (When the army is composed of all Northland Barbarians, all abilities are increased by 50%)]

The brilliance of this brilliance is not visible to the naked eye, it is more like a sublimation of the soul. But Turnch couldn't see it. However, he could feel the change in the momentum of the steel wings, which seemed to be even more fierce than before, which made a faint thought of bad things rise in his heart. However, since Turnch has decided not to underestimate the steel wings, he will certainly not continue to blindly let the army attack when this thought rises from the depths of his heart.

He quickly ordered the army to be divided into two groups, with three thousand archers left behind, about five hundred meters from the steel wings, just enough distance to bring out the best in all archers. The front army of 7,000 men consisted of two types of soldiers, at the forefront of which were light infantry in leather armor, and their weapons were short swords and round shields. Its role is to entangle the enemy and create as much chaos as possible; Behind the 4,000 light infantry were 3,000 halberders, and once the light infantry in front of them created a sufficient amount of chaos, these halberders would begin to carry out the enemy's interspersed tactics like a sharp blade while maintaining the advantage of medium distance. Once you succeed in dividing the enemy's position, then all that remains is mermaid meat.

This set of tactics. In the hands of Turnch, it has been played to the fullest.

There is little need to think. Turnch's hand slammed down, and three thousand arrows formed the first rain of arrows, which had already slashed through the air.

"Meat!"

Anno let out a cold snort.

In an instant, I heard another neat roar, and I saw five thousand soldiers with steel wings immediately raise the heavy shields in their hands and put them above, and in the blink of an eye, there was an additional layer of defensive shields composed of heavy shields on the heads of these northern barbarians. What is even more surprising is that the whole set of movements is as smooth as a cloud, without the slightest pause and intermission.

"Ding—"

The rain of arrows rained down, but it was impossible to shoot through these heavy shields, not even embedded in the shields. Only the sound of tinkling like hail falling to the ground remained.

Both Turnch and his soldiers were a little dumbfounded at the moment, they never thought that Steel Wings would be so experienced in dealing with bow and arrow shooting. Originally, Turnch also planned to bully the gap in actual combat experience between the two armies, but looking at the actions of the steel wings, he knew that their actual combat experience would definitely not be much worse.

And in fact, it is, or the Iron Wings are much better than the private army led by Tinchiin.

While these people were still looking for the bandits, Iron Wings had already deployed in the area of the Pan Gap Rift Valley, and had repeatedly fought against the elite troops of other territories, and this kind of actual combat experience had of course grown faster than these private troops led by Tinchiin.

Not to mention that now that Iron Wing has officially been promoted to a fourth-tier army, even if it is still the same strength as before, this army will never be the opponent of Iron Wing - of course, it is still no problem to inflict a certain amount of damage. But at this moment, Turnch made a most fatal mistake - no matter how much he felt that he valued the steel wings enough, the pride in his heart still made him look down on this army of Northland barbarians.

So at this moment, it is obviously a fatal mistake to still use the cutting tactics used by infantry as cavalry!

You know, Steel Wings aren't a heavy infantry designed to defend against cavalry, they're not the kind of tin cans that don't move at all!

"Meat skewers!"

Seeing that the enemy soldiers at the front were less than two hundred meters away from his side, Anno issued a new combat order in a deep voice.

I saw that all the northern barbarians suddenly stopped, then put down the heavy shield in their hands, and slowly drew the short spear they carried with them in the somewhat dazed look of the enemy.

Seeing this scene, Ternch's face changed suddenly.

But before he could give any new orders, the steel wings had already thrown out the short spear in their hands!

A whole five thousand short guns!

It made a sharp whistling sound in the air, and then fell into the formation of the light infantry who rushed to the front.

These short guns are all high-quality weapons specially bought by Sean, and there is almost no need to doubt their sharpness, coupled with the strength of the Northland barbarians and the distance within just two hundred meters, how can these light infantry and equipment resist this round of spear attacks?

Almost instantly, more than half of the light infantry fell.

Suddenly, a wail sounded on the battlefield.

But this is not the end of it, for all the Northland barbarians have already begun to draw their second short guns, and without the slightest hesitation, another throw!

Ternch's face turned unusually pale at this moment. (To be continued......)
