A large number of spirit beast soldiers began to move according to the pre-trained process, and instead of charging forward, they immediately changed from a scattered infantry phalanx to a dense phalanx. At the same time, all the shields were grouped together with each other, and a large piece of infantry shield was raised at the same time, almost leaving no gaps to cover the spirit beast sergeants in the entire hoplite phalanx behind the shields, and chanting a unified spell and casting the same spell.

In this process, in the tens of thousands of Dragon Palace City spirit beast military arrays in movement and spell casting, clouds of telekinetic white mist and spiritual light began to form one after another above the heads of these spirit beasts. And gradually start to connect into one!

This is exactly the signature formation tortoiseshell formation in Sun Fengzhao's study of the art of war of the Immortal Residence, and the tortoiseshell array is regarded as the magic weapon that Sun Fengzhao has used to train the soldiers of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace in recent years. At the same time, it is also based on a new tortoiseshell formation derived from the inheritance and refining of a part of the spirit and supernatural powers of the turtle clam and the combination of this set of military techniques and the ancient formations he learned, as well as Sun Fengzhao's further understanding of the Buddha and the ghost path and supernatural powers some time ago.

The biggest feature of this formation is that it is suitable for the use of this huge and special spirit beast army. And the defense is very strong, extremely strong. But just how strong its defenses are just haven't been proven yet.

Today is a rare opportunity, making full use of the advantages of their heavy iron armor and thick shields, the Eastern Sea Spirit Beast Army will give full play to the advantages of their first defensive formation and formation, and the flat underwater wilderness is full of the banners of the Western Sea Sea Dragoons, and their powerful Silver Lightning Thunder Python Cavalry Legion, Silver Shark Legion and Tarantula Beast Demon Beast Group stepped out of the seabed dust and smoke on the ground as if there were countless tornadoes blowing, and the trembling earth let out an unbearable groan.

They galloped wildly across the wilderness of the submarine plains, bursting out victorious and arrogant shouts, and the huge lineup stretched into the distance with no end in sight.

However, in the targeted rope collection formation in the East Outer Sea, after the intensive shield casting was completed, a transparent shield was immediately formed above the entire phalanx. This shield was like a huge transparent turtle shell, shrouded above the entire phalanx, and the bow and arrow damage of the Western Sea Cavalry became smaller in an instant, and only a few silver electric arrows could pass through the gaps in the shield and shield that were cast by all the spirit beasts, and shoot and injure the Eastern Sea Spirit Beast soldiers in the shield array. But this little damage immediately seemed insignificant. Because underneath, the layer of telekinetic white mist floating in the middle of the group of beasts actually has a repair function for the bodies of those spirit beasts.

At this time, even some spirit beasts did not make their passports the strongest because of their low cultivation. However, when hit by an arrow, it is unlikely to kill instantly. Instead, with the help of the white mist of those telekinesis, they can be repaired quickly, and it will basically not affect their ability to continue fighting.

However, after the Western Naval Cavalry, the entire Northwest Coalition Army is not only a war horse with archery.

They also have their own unique means of dealing with the tortoiseshell formation of the heavy armor warriors of the Eastern Sea that surprised them. The attack lineup composed of 100,000 troops, the elite armies of all walks of life swept like a raging sea wave.

The first wave of three thousand silver lightning thunder python cavalry legions, after frantically galloping close to the heavy infantry of the Eastern Sea. The second wave of the Silver Shark Legion and the Tarantula Beast Attack Demon Beast Group Attack Force suddenly appeared from behind them with countless long weapons like javelins.

The power of this spear is quite amazing, due to the momentum brought by the war horse, or the momentum brought by the galloping of these spirit beasts themselves, plus the magic power of the pitcher, and the weight of the long blade itself, the penetration and lethality are quite amazing.

One by one, the throwing spears frantically carried various colors of aura and venom into the hoplite formations of the Eastern Sea, piercing the shields of their tortoiseshell formations and the shields behind them, and nailing them firmly to the ground.

Under this round of more ferocious attacks, this time, those Eastern Outer Sea Spirit Beast Sergeants who were hit by the vital point, even with the help of the telekinetic white mist, began to have deaths, injuries and incapacitation.

However, the counterattack in the phalanx of the Eastern Outer Sea also began at this moment, and they also had long blades like spears, although the power and magic powers of the throwing might be somewhat obvious inferior to the other party. However, for the officers and men of the Northwest Alliance, who did not have any defense, their defensive means were also relatively weak. They could only use their own protective aura to resist this round of counterattacks from the Eastern Sea Spirit Beasts.

No matter how vast and powerful the Northwest Alliance Army is, it is a cut above the Eastern Sea Spirit Beast Legion. However, under the protection of the entire perfect tortoiseshell array in the East Outer Sea, the two sides were almost exchanging their lives at equal value, and each other first used long blades such as spears and spears to start a medium-distance mutual projection battle. A group of Northwest Coalition troops were shot down, and the ownerless sea dragon warriors ran wildly, but most of the Northwest Coalition forces still managed to get close to the heavy infantry phalanx in the eastern sea.

When countless talent light clusters representing the spirits and demon beasts of the Northwest Alliance Army fiercely attacked the shield of the hoplite phalanx of the entire Eastern Outer Sea. In front of the entire Eastern Sea Spirit Beast hoplite phalanx, there were rows of rejecting horses, blocking the last steps of the Northwest Coalition Army.

What is surprising is that the first wave of silver lightning thunder python cavalry did not use their own strong talent and supernatural powers to carry out the method of chiseling and breaking through according to the usual tactics before and after charging to the front and rear of the hoplite phalanx phalanx in the East Outer Sea, and rushed into the East Outer Sea to strangle and destroy the tortoiseshell formation in the East Outer Sea. On the contrary, in the case of such a fruitless round of attacks and the fact that they could not penetrate the shield of the entire hoplite phalanx, the spirit demon hands of the Northwest Coalition Army grabbed a long rope noose from behind one after another, waved their hands and used the rope noose to circle the rejecting horse in front of the infantry phalanx, and then turned around and ran back. Swift horses with ropes easily pulled stakes deep into the ground or pulled them out of the ground.

Some of the sergeants of the eastern sea, unable to bear the destruction of the stakes they had spent a night building, broke away from the phalanx and ran forward with the intention of cutting the ropes.

At this time, there were archers from the Northwest Coalition waiting for them, and sure enough, they were archers who were good at riding and shooting the western seas, and on the high-speed galloping mounts, they suddenly bent their bows and arrows, turned around and shot back. These heavy infantry spirit beasts that ran out were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

In this way, the Northwest Coalition Army only used a few such charges, and at the cost of less than a thousand beast casualties, to completely dismantle the last barrier against horses that the hoplites of the Eastern Sea had worked so hard to build, and the hoplite phalanx in the East Outer Sea began to be directly exposed in front of the other party.

This kind of lasso tactic is exactly the unique temporary formation change method of the Northwest Coalition Army, and Long Da is not a vain person, it also has some knowledge, knows some basic tactics and temporary responses. The mistake is not the native-born army of spirit beasts in the sea, it is impossible for ordinary trained spirit beasts to play these tricks in such a short period of time.

Seeing that the defense line against horses was dismantled, and the opponent's loose phalanx was returned to the dense phalanx mode by himself, Long Da's eyes showed a look of pride.

It slowly raised its arms, ready to launch a big attack. I was excited about the screaming of beasts, the collision of weapons, and the deafening noise in front of me.

"Kill it! Rush in......"

On the battlefield, with Long Da's order, the vanguard of the Northwest Coalition Army had already begun to attack the hoplite headquarters in the East Coast.

Since the spirit beast infantry phalanx in the eastern sea was transformed from a loose formation to a dense formation, the behemoth array of tens of thousands of people naturally could not have only one complete phalanx, but was composed of countless small phalanxes. When they turned from a loose phalanx to a dense phalanx, it was inevitable that large gaps appeared between the small and medium-sized phalanxes, and at first glance they looked like ordinary nested formations, leaving gaps everywhere for the offensive breakthrough of the Northwest Coalition Army.

"Boom!"

A silver lightning thunder python divine power emitted by the silver lightning thunder python beast passed through the protective shield and shot straight into the gap left by the change of formation in a large square array.

This made all the Northwest Coalition troops who participated in the siege of this turtle-like phalanx in the Eastern Sea overjoyed, and finally found an opportunity to tear through the enemy's defense line, and were able to break through and bite directly face to face, which did not make them happy!

"Rush!"

"There's a gap here, too, let's get in!"

......

But how could the heavy infantry phalanx in the East China Sea, which had been deeply studied by Sun Fengzhao, be just an ordinary nested formation?

Sun Fengzhao's set of formations is a phalanx tactic of both offense and defense. It evolved from the earliest spear-shield phalanx, which was equipped with a mosaic cuirass, armed with an auxiliary infantry shield in the left hand and a spear in the right, in addition to a throwing javelin.

Compared with the previous spear and shield phalanx, the heavy infantry phalanx in the East Outer Sea was loosely arranged, and the spirit beast soldiers were spaced about two zhang apart. On the one hand, this space is enough to exert the strong and huge size of the heavy spirit beast infantry and the ability to fight in close combat. On the other hand, this loose formation has very low terrain requirements, most complex terrain can be moved, and its formation change is very easy. In addition, the ability to evade concentrated fire damage such as trebuchets has been significantly enhanced. But the problem that seems to have been brought, or the disadvantage that arises from it, is that the density is not enough, which is not conducive to resisting the onslaught of the fast cavalry.

But is this a blessing or a curse, has it really found a breakthrough in this huge iron barrel-like phalanx, or is it a trap? The Northwest Coalition Army, which had already been annoyed and angry, refused to think calmly at this time. They swarmed like a swarm, and found a passage, a breakthrough, and a gap in the entire cylinder-like phalanx, and rushed into it without hesitation.

A total of eight gaps, under the spread and rush of the Northwest Coalition Army like eight sharp knives, soon became eight long passages straight in. But for now, when the Northwest Coalition Army, under the leadership of Long Da, divided into eight groups and entered this formation, there was no sign of any traps in the formation, and they were also like a rainbow at this time, rushing all the way like a bamboo.

Now the only one who could overlook from the air, through the square under the transparent shield that was still there, Sun Fengzhao ingeniously arranged a certain number of semi-transformed high-level spirit beasts holding pseudo-spirit treasures, spirit weapons, and magic weapons in the gap between the large phalanx of hoplites.

These half-transformed high-level spirit beasts can be said to be the true top power of the Eastern Outer Sea Dragon Palace. The equipment of the Sergeants of the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea is not the best armor equipment in the entire open sea, and their current armor is also made of multiple layers of ordinary iron pieces and magic weapon iron plates, although they have strong defensive capabilities, the disadvantage is that they are heavier, which is not conducive to impact. And the main person who was usually responsible for the attack fell on the shoulders of these half-transformed high-level spirit beasts. They were distributed with a pseudo-spirit treasure, spirit weapon, and magic weapon in the beast hand, and under the protection of the spirit beast soldiers on the left and right, they launched a counterattack against the spirit and demon beasts flying from the enemy from below, regardless of their own dangers.

This large phalanx of heavy spirit beast infantry in the entire East Coast can be said to be a special composition of this special composition with heavy spirit beast infantry as the main force and high-level semi-transformed spirit beasts as the main combat force.

It's just that this kind of infantry phalanx is still lacking in the tactics of the Northwest Alliance, which is good at impact defense in the form of cavalry, from the perspective of traditional military theory.

When the cavalry in the traditional theory of the art of war fights against this tactic, the battle pattern is often the same: first use a small number of lightly armed cavalry equipped with javelins and bows and arrows to free the outside of the phalanx to meet the enemy first, try to interfere with the neatness of the enemy's phalanx, and poke each other with spears when the two phalanxes are close enough. When the opponent's formation is scattered, concentrate the elite cavalry to form a sharp knife formation and insert it from the opponent's flank. Once the hoplite phalanx is cut apart, the basic combat capability is disintegrated and paralyzed.

Therefore, such hoplite phalanxes usually have a phobia of cavalry, but Sun Fengzhao first replaced the hoplite forward line with a horse rejection, which solved the problem of the enemy's cavalry quickly rushing to the front of the formation, and gave them enough time to calmly arrange, change formations and create traps.

But along with this, the mobile attack ability of the hoplites is getting weaker and weaker, which can be seen from the nature of this giant hoplite phalanx that is good at defending and not attacking. But Sun Fengzhao has made major reforms in this regard!

The gaps and illusions of this nested phalanx were also left by him on his own initiative. As long as it is used to attract, encircle, annihilate and surprise the enemy, the passage mainly cavalry has strict requirements in terms of width, length, number of soldiers and the configuration of troops, and has undergone strict training.

Sun Fengzhao's phalanx is passive, with the shape of a nested phalanx, but the core of a nested phalanx.

At the end of the day, it's just a formality, appearance. In the end, the purpose is to make a response to lure the enemy, not to respond for a better defense. This gave the Northwest Coalition cavalry spirit beast the illusion of taking advantage of the situation to rush in.
