Chapter 319
If someone is here at this moment, he will definitely complain about these elves who combine the Spanish square formation and the hollow square formation.
The storm of change in the times just started at the end of Qingping, a group of elves with strong insight and keen thinking represented by George, Cordoba, etc. began to carry out various reforms, big or small.
The "Cordoba Square" that I tried with the mountain war training camp of the fishman is one of the many reform attempts of the elves.
After trying out the "Hornet" type musket, the elves discovered that this weapon that the time-travel brave men were obsessed with had great potential, especially after using the latest developed launching medicine, its power was several orders of magnitude greater than the black gunpowder toys they made in handicraft classes when they were over 100 years old.
Gradually, the sound of developing muskets instead of bows and arrows began to appear among the elves.
Against this background, Córdoba considered the current explosive firepower of the rifle in a short period of time, but the reloading time was slow, and after combining existing tactics and other new weapons, he invented a formation with medium and long-range firepower output as the main means of killing.
On the battlefield, with a burst of gunfire sounding, the elf archer suddenly became a musketeer.
The small quadratio of long-range troops arranged at four corners of the large square arrays shoot cross-fire from the fishmen in front of the two wings. The tall fishmen are a good target at a distance of dozens of meters, and the shooting of the elves can hit their bodies.
The bullets at this distance can penetrate the armor made of the sea beast's shell on the fish man and cause considerable damage to them.
The formation of fishmen who were about to charge suddenly stopped, and the fishmen in the front row immediately fell down.
Many elves were worried that the bullets were not powerful enough in such a distance, so they chose to aim at the legs of the fish man with weaker protection. With cross-firing, if they fail to hit the legs of the fish man in front, they will also hit the fish man behind.
Some fishmen who were hit by the vital points died on the spot, and a small number of them were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness due to multiple shots. The worst was that the fishmen who were shot on both legs, or even the left side of the left side of the left side of the left side of the left side of the legs, were even rolling on the ground in pain.
The musketeer who had completed one shot immediately put the gun on his shoulder, and an elf immediately took the empty gun away and loaded it, and handed over another musket that had been loaded.
It is not dense, but it can be said that the endless rain of bullets will shoot the enemies standing in the front row, while the magicians will attack the enemies in the back row with magic.
Because he had to go underwater and didn't carry a shield, the fishman immediately paid high tuition with his life.
Seeing the heavy losses ahead, the fishmen attacking on both sides immediately launched a charge in an attempt to rush into the square formation of the musketeers and the magicians.
At this time, the musketeer immediately burst out with a round of firepower. He suddenly fired all the bullets in the gun and turned around and sank into the large array under the cover of the magician.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of weakening firepower, the fishman, who had suffered heavy casualties on the charge road in just a few dozen meters, finally rushed to the elf's spear formation.
However, they were greeted by the long spear heads flashing with cold light.
The pike soldiers, who were seriously waiting, stabbed at the fishman who came to the formation with spears in hand.
At this time, the fishman was horrified to find that his weapons were not as long as the enemy.
During mountain warfare, due to the influence of terrain and vegetation, the soldiers' equipment will basically not be too long, which will affect the mobility and usage effect.
Only after the wealthy elves mobilized a lot of storage rings, they transported these spears that were only used when large-scale frontal battles were fought in open areas to the mountains.
The fish soldiers used the weapons in their hands to push away the spear in front of them, trying to open a gap that made them rush into.
As a result, the spears in front of them were layer by layer, one by one and another.
The most important thing is that whenever the fishman is stabbed by a spear, a cold light will flash on the spear head, and a sharp wind blade will shoot out from the spear head.
If the stabbed fishman has a magic shield, this wind blade can still be blocked.
But the fishman had just been disbanded from the formation, and his magic power had dissipated. He could not stop the spearheads that stabbed him with his magic shield.
For a moment, the battle on the defense line of spearmen was extremely bloody.
The elf spearmen who are not ruthless to the enemy specifically stabbed the connection of the fishman armor. Whenever they felt like stabbing the enemy, they would immediately activate the wind blade on the spearhead.
Many fish soldiers' legs and waists were cut by the wind blade. If they had magic shields on their bodies, they would have suffered minor injuries at most. If there was no magic shield or the magic shield's defense was not enough, the wind blade would leave a huge wound or directly cut off anything in front of it.
Not long after, the complete or incomplete fishmen lay all over the floor, their blood making the ground slippery.
Seeing that the elves' gun array could not be close to the warriors in a short time, the fishman on the second line raised his javelin again and prepared to open a gap with a ranged attack.
At such a close distance, the javelin of the fishman has terrible lethality.
As long as there is a gap in the spear formation that is opened, the fishman who uses short weapons to attack close to each other will undoubtedly have a huge advantage.
At this moment, the world showed its unscientific but magical side.
After retreating into the square formation, the elf magicians joined forces to cast an earth wall technique.
The earth wall is not high, it reaches the waist of the elf.
But this thick earth wall—or earth tiles—was enough for the elf musketeers to stand on it and let them shoot from the heads of the pikemen at the pikemen who were preparing to bid for the javelin.
After a round of bullet rains, only a few javelins were thrown out, hurting several elves.
Cordoba and George, standing on the podium, were focusing their attention on the fishman barracks ahead.
Not long after the two wings met the enemy, the fishman in the fishman army began to use simple wooden bridges to build the trench in front of the gap in the military wall.
At this moment, the main force of the fishman who was ready was fighting towards the elves through the wooden bridge in front of the gap and the suspension bridge at the military camp gate.
The main force of the fishman was lined up into two front sword and shield soldiers, the middle javelin soldiers, the rear archers and magicians, and rushed towards the wings of the elves and the junction of the front.
"Here!" Cordoba was a little nervous. The two wings were just appetizers, and the next one was the main meal of this battle.
George nodded there. The enemy commanders were still of course. Instead of directly attacking the front, they used their formation motor power to be about zero and difficult to turn to attack the two weak corners of the weak force in order to create a gap in the shortest possible time.
"In the future, you can consider placing the formation a little more rounded." Cordova smiled.
The distance between the enemy and us is not far, and the enemy comes very quickly. At this time, the magical battle between the main force of the fishman and the elves formation is about to begin.
As soon as Cordoba finished speaking, he ordered: "Cover the fire!"
At this moment, the "Cordoba Square" finally revealed all its minions.
In the new discussion brought by this new weapon, the entire Wutong City area reached a consensus--in the future, long-distance attack and non-contact combat will gradually become the mainstream of war, and ordinary melee troops will gradually disappear. Perhaps when they retire, there will be no sprite soldiers, sword and shield soldiers in the army.
Therefore, the melee soldiers in the "Cordoba Square" chose spearmen who are conducive to defense as the main ones, and the flexible and maneuverable sword and shield soldiers as the auxiliary ones. Their main task is to protect the long-range attack troops behind them.
The elevation angle of the "Charles Big Pineapple" launcher has been raised to almost pointing to the top of his head, and the elves who operate the "Charles Organ" have just adjusted the engine power on the rocket to a minimum, reducing their range to the limit.
With the command of Cordoba, the "big pineapple" and the "organ" were launched at the same time. They flew into the night sky and then fell on their respective targets.
The rocket flew across the battlefield and fell into the fishman's barracks, covering the reserves in the barracks.
At the same time, the watchtower in the military camp that kept sending signals became the focus of attention, and two rockets specifically targeted it.
Huge black "big pineapples" soared into the sky and hit the heads of the fishman magicians and archers who were about to release magic and arrows to attack the elves army formation.
The first batch of fallen "big pineapples" blow up the magic shield that enveloped the fishman back the magic elements, while the second batch of "big pineapples" delivered to the door brought a bloody storm.
The musketeers and magicians behind the pikemen were aimed at the javelins behind the sword and shield soldiers at the same time. This leap-forward long-range attack caused heavy losses to the unexpected javelins.
For a time, the main force of the fishman suffered heavy losses. Only the sword and shield soldiers like iron turtles did not receive much casualties and were still moving forward slowly.
Cordoba and George are not concerned about these sword and shield soldiers who are still dozens of meters away from him. As long as they use extreme firepower to eliminate the opponent's long-range attack power in a short period of time, the iron turtle is similar to the real turtle in front of the magician who has no defensive pressure.
It took less than fifteen minutes to see the first deserter who turned around and fled among the fishmen.
Immediately afterwards, more and more deserters were deserting.
When the fishman sword and shield soldiers who were fighting hard with the elves spearmen found something was wrong, the friendly forces behind them almost fled completely.
Under the full care of the musketeers and the magicians, the sword and shield soldiers who were abandoned with armor could escape back to the barracks.
Cordoba turned around and said to George, "Let's clear the inventory and go back."
George nodded.
A few minutes later, under the order of Cordoba, the rockets and "big pineapple" that were used to prevent accidental rockets and "big pineapple" from hitting the fishman's training camp.
Finally, George ordered the entire army to retreat, and the only fishmen left in the training camp had no intention of chasing.
This Genny invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and was originally planned to train the mountain war troops to try to use professional mountain war teams to raid the mountain war training camp in Guihua City again, which is considered a waste.
