Turbulent Times Chapter 1266: Battle of Infantry

The 25,000 infantry were ready, and there were many swords and guns on the army formation. Li Mi waved his hand, and with the sound of a horn, the drum sounded, and the 25,000 infantry began to advance calmly.

I have to admit that the opponent's 25,000 infantry phalanx is also very clean, but the infantry's speed is incomparable to that of the cavalry. Not only did they cause a lot of casualties before the close combat, but it also dealt a big blow to their morale.

However, after all, these are elite soldiers trained by Yang Su. Maybe they can't compare with the Far East Army in terms of orders and prohibitions, but the discipline is also very strict, and the grenades failed to cause them much confusion.

There are only about 9,000 infantry left in the Tiger Battalion. There is also a bugle call, and the densely packed spears stand up, almost covering the background behind the battle formation. The ten thousand-man phalanxes turned into nine thousand-man phalanxes moved forward at the same time, like a forest of spears moving one by one. The right wing of each phalanx followed the captain and the capital flag, and the left wing was the deputy captain. They walked back and forth, reminding the centurion and fire chief in the queue from time to time to pay attention to a certain place to maintain a good formation.

The flanks were pulled apart, and the enemy's infantry formation was also stretched very long. The 9,000-man Tiger Camp phalanx still had five phalanxes in front and four phalanxes in the rear. Each phalanx had six rows. That's twelve rows. The enemy's infantry consisted of 25,000 people, more than 20 rows in front and back, and the front line was much thicker than that of the Tiger Battalion, and they were approaching firmly amidst the sound of big drums.

The phalanx soldiers of the Tiger Camp put their spears upright on the right side, holding their right hands at the bottom and their left hands on the body of the guns. They move slowly with the drumbeat. lay flat.

"This time it's an infantry battle. The enemy's spears on the opposite side are only two inches shorter than ours. When approaching the enemy, keep a slow pace. Don't think about rushing to kill. Those who want to survive can hear it clearly. The spears are similar. Don't even think about it. Go up and kill them, otherwise you will most likely bump into their guns, when you approach the enemy, you must listen to the orders clearly, take a step only once the drum beats, remember to turn sideways and level the guns, and the guns are in a line."

Amidst the sound of drums and footsteps, the captains and centurions of each phalanx ran back and forth, shouting to remind their soldiers.

The armor of the tiger battalion is shining,

All the soldiers were issued with iron armor and low-brow helmets. On the other hand, although the enemy army has iron armor, they are all half-length armor. It's just a half-body armor. Yang Su's ability to make his direct troops follow the standard equipment of the Fubing is already very powerful.

The three rows of soldiers at the front of the Tiger Camp phalanx looked at a black wall of people rushing towards them on the opposite side, with dense gun barrels on their heads, like a long wall of weapons. Like the cavalry, there are usually some archer skirmishers in front of them.

After hearing the captain's howl, the soldiers raised their right hands slightly, and played the brisk copper flute. The soldiers of the Tiger Camp felt relaxed. A conditioned reflex has been formed. It is said that this tune came from the devil training camp on Snake Island. It is the legendary and mysterious owner of Snake Island and the chief instructor of all the troops of the Far East Army. Demon, the prince's junior sister Xiao Yu personally set the tune, called "Infantry March".

The two sides approached quickly, and when they reached two hundred paces, another bugle under Yuchi Jingde's banner sounded, and all the thousand-man phalanx of the Tiger Camp yelled "Kill!" , The soldiers in the first two rows immediately touched the ground with their spears and leaned on their shoulders.

They only walked a short hundred steps, and they were more of a confrontational gesture to improve the morale of the soldiers. The enemy soldiers on the opposite side walked very fast, because they didn't have much time to dawdle.

As the infantry of the two sides approached, Li Mi was worried that Wang Junlin would send cavalry to attack their infantry phalanx, and then sent some cavalry to cover the flanks. When the cavalry came to attack, the cavalry sent by Li Mi could entangle them from both sides.

Wang Junlin's side has always had throwers still holding grenades, which caused a lot of casualties to the enemy and at the same time forced them to speed up and rush towards the phalanx of the Tiger Camp. They all knew that once the two sides fought, the grenades would naturally stop throw.

This distance is also a dense battle formation. Every grenade brings a lot of damage, but it has never completely shaken the determination of Yang Su's infantry. Every time the battle line is damaged, there will be people behind

Come up and make it up.

"Yang Su is a good soldier!" Wang Junlin couldn't help but sighed when he saw the opponent's firm performance.

The faint smell of gunpowder smoke brought by the explosion of the grenade was blown by the wind and permeated the front line. The soldiers of the Tiger Battalion hoped that the enemy would move slowly and let the grenades and crossbow bolts fire a few more rounds. Kill all.

The speed of the powerful soldiers throwing grenades is gradually increasing. Obviously, they also understand that the enemy will approach quickly, and there is not much time for them to throw grenades.

The closer the distance, the more people will be killed by each grenade. At this time, the distance is more than 100 meters, and the screams from the opposite side are one after another. The wall blocks.

………

………

The enemy infantry entered within 150 paces, and they had been killed by four rounds of grenades.

Finally within the range of the bow and arrow attack, the stragglers sent by the enemy crossed the square and began to throw light arrows. The light arrows landed in the queue, making a tinkling sound. For the iron armor produced by the armor workshop in the salt field, the light arrows from a hundred steps away are almost like tickling.

After another round of grenade bombing, the enemy's skirmishers quickly entered the seventy paces, and the howls of the enemy's officers at all levels rang out again and again in the large formation behind.

At this time, the fast crossbows in the first row and the second row of the Tiger Camp had already started firing in turn, but they only had time to shoot one round each.

After Yuchi Jingde gave an order, the orderly next to him blew the horn, Yuchi Jingde turned his head and said to the drummer: "Normal pace, blow the forward horn."

Wang Junlin ordered to send two thousand cavalry to harass and shoot the enemy infantry with fast crossbows on the hillsides on both sides of the infantry phalanx.

………

………

When the marching horn sounded, the soldiers in the front three rows of the tiger camp phalanx quickly hung the crossbows on their waists, raised the spears in both hands, and stood on the right side. The sound of the army's footsteps was clearly audible.
