Lord of the Oasis Chapter 500: .Preparation before the decisive battle
The 15,000 heavy cavalry of the South County Noble Alliance took an hour to arrive at the center of the battlefield from Fort Seria.
In the center of the battlefield, the 30,000-strong infantry regiment of the North County Leaders and Nobles Allied Forces set up the camp with tigers and dragons, with strict rules and regulations.
On the plain at the junction of the South County Leader and the North County Leader, the two armies can see each other's army more than ten miles apart. Therefore, when the three heavy cavalry corps of the South County Leader Allied Army appeared one kilometer away from the North County Leader's Allied Forces When the time came, they were ready to meet the cavalry charge.
The outermost ten rows of tents were completely retracted, and all the infantrymen were fully retracted, retreating between the tents inside the camp, and even entering the tents, gathering into a tight phalanx.
Faced with the charging cavalry, the scattered infantry is simply courting death. Only when they are assembled into a dense phalanx can they resist the impact of the cavalry.
The tents in the phalanx were never folded at all, only the four-sided tarpaulin was rolled up in half. Like a parasol with half a curtain down.
The effect of arranging the tent in this way allows the soldiers in the tent to gain a nearby field of vision, but they cannot see too far and will be blocked by other tents.
Even if the army formation in front is broken by the impact of the cavalry team, they will not lose their morale if they can't see it, and they will still be able to stick to the tight formation and resist the enemy's heavy cavalry.
In the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the screams of killing are loud, and there are people who are injured or dead all the time and screaming. As long as the rout of the army in front of you can't be seen, the screams of the soldiers in the mere rout cannot affect the army in the rear at all. Morale.
And the dense formation of the army did not leave room for the army in front to break up and attack the army. If they dared to retreat to the rear, there were more stringent military regulations waiting, and they would be directly killed by the soldiers in the rear. Therefore, even if the front army really collapses, it will not have a substantial impact.
Faced with the cavalry rushing into the phalanx of infantry, it is best not to break up, it is no different from courting death.
At the same time, such a tent arrangement can also block the cavalry's field of vision, so that the cavalry who fall into the infantry phalanx will feel isolated and divided due to the blocked line of sight. This is the heavy cavalry rushing into the formation, the most afraid of the situation.
The fate of an isolated cavalryman caught in the midst of a vast mass of infantry is extremely tragic.
Outside each tent, there are some carts loaded with military rations, and what's more, it is directly made of wooden horses tied with sharpened logs. The aisle between the tents, with these things placed, seems a little tight.
The effect of these things will make it difficult for the cavalry to rush into the formation.
Inside and between the tents, there are dense infantrymen, each with a spear of at least three meters standing beside them.
It's easy to stab the cavalry on horseback!
Such an army formation is simply a nightmare for the cavalry.
The design of this camp in Fatis brings the essence of infantry versus cavalry to the extreme.
There are only four characters.
Brake still!
Think of a way to make your infantry "quiet". No matter how the cavalry charges, they just need to stay where they are and stick out their spears.
Do everything possible to limit the "movement" of the cavalry. As long as they can't run, the cavalry who enter the infantry phalanx will become dead and dead horses.
Although such a camp seems to have great flaws, such as being very afraid of fire attacks, it does not hurt to say that it is complete against the heavy cavalry army led by Nanjun.
What's more, even if the opponent really uses fire to attack, Fatis still has corresponding countermeasures, and the formulation of war plans does not allow such serious omissions.
Not much to say about the tragic end of Nanjun's heavy cavalry corps rushing into this infantry phalanx.
Because they may not be able to rush into this infantry phalanx.
Just when 15,000, the heavy cavalry regiment of the coalition of three southern county nobles was about to enter the charging distance.
"Call: Sergeant Swadia! Shield!"
Fatis gives orders.
Fatis stands on a high platform in the middle of the infantry camp to gain a good view.
In this way, corresponding orders can be issued in a timely manner according to changes in the battle situation.
Fatis was surrounded by ten Swadian royal knights, and ten Swadian royal knights carried their extraordinary power and repeated the order of Fatis together, and the sound spread throughout the entire infantry phalanx.
"Call: Sergeant Swadia! Shield!"
"Call: Sergeant Swadia! Shield!"
"Call: Sergeant Swadia! Shield!"
...
As the voice of the Swadian Royal Knights spread throughout the infantry phalanx, the Swadian sergeants at the outermost periphery of the infantry phalanx raised the tower shield in their hands high, and then slammed into the ground in front of them.
"Boom!"
Neat and uniform movements, sounds merged into a loud bang.
The ground shook.
Under the mighty force of Sergeant Swadia of the fifth-level arms, the shield of the thin and dense lower body of the tower shield plunged into the ground at least twenty centimeters.
Sergeant Swadia needs only one piece of force ~IndoMTL.com~ to fend off the onslaught of three.
What's more, Sergeant Swadia's tower shield is so large that it can completely cover the whole person and there is still remaining.
Therefore, Sergeant Swadia, is fully capable of "stacking shields".
Like the three "again" characters on the word "stack", it vividly shows what is called "stacking shields".
The shields in the first row and the shields in the second row are well-proportioned, and the impact force of each shield in the first row can be shared with the impact force of the second row on both sides. The impact force can be shared on the third row of shields on all four sides.
The hand of Sergeant Swadia is arc-shaped (take a piece of paper and roll it around and let him stretch it out by himself, that's it), which can perfectly perform the method of "stacking shields".
However, the number of Swadian sergeants is limited, only 1200, so only two layers of "stacked shields" can be achieved
However, it's not just Sergeant Swadian who has the mighty tower shield.
The fourth-level Swadian infantry also has tower shields. The tower shields they have have no difference in size. The real difference is only the thickness and material of the tower shield.
The Swadian Sergeant is stronger and far more powerful than the Swadian Infantry, so the Swadian Sergeant's tower shield is thicker, heavier, and more textured than the Swadian Infantry's tower shield. Better, the defense is much higher than the tower shield of the fourth-level Swadian infantry.
But in any case, the fourth-level Swadian infantry can cooperate perfectly with the Swadian sergeant.
800 Swadian infantry, perfect to increase Sergeant Swadian's two-layer "stacked shield" to three layers.
If a single attack falls on the first layer of shield, the number of infantrymen who share the attack force will be changed from three to seven. ()
