Chapter 348 Breakthrough
The Macedonian phalanx, a once brilliant formation, was even dubbed 'invincible' at its peak. However, to modern people like Luo Ji, this statement is inevitably a bit exaggerated.
There are still some weaknesses. He can name several of them casually. One by one is inevitably cumbersome. Let’s take the two most obvious weaknesses…
The first weakness is flexibility. The length of the spearmen's weapons is enough to let them say goodbye to the word 'flexible', and they need to use the Macedonian phalanx in rows of spears, which is flexible. How bad can be imagined, which makes it difficult for them to deal with some unexpected surprise attacks.
The second weakness comes from their own formation. This formation is both an advantage and a weakness. The dense phalanx makes every soldier in the formation basically have little room to move. If a soldier in the phalanx makes a mistake, it is very It is possible to directly implicate a large number of people, which leads to high requirements for soldiers and terrain. At the same time, with such a dense formation, imagine that if there are two waves of arrows falling from the sky at this time, the long-range arms will definitely be able to. so cool...
But unfortunately, Li Yuanjie doesn't seem to have common sense in this area, but even if he has it, it's useless. How could Zhao Pan not guard against such an obvious weakness? The large shield soldiers who had withdrawn before had already protected the flanks and rear of the entire phalanx, specially guarding against various raids!
In the face of the dense and sharp spears, even the kobold who had behaved exceptionally brave just a moment ago would inevitably start to panic in his heart.
The retreat of the kobold troops inevitably caused a little pressure on Li Yuanjie, but facing such a phalanx of spearmen, without the support of shield troops, it was indeed difficult to resist.
The current situation is not when he is hurting the elite troops under his command. Thinking of this, Li Yuanjie decisively dispatched some of the werewolf warriors to resist the advance of Zhao Pan's large army. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he has been staring here. The dynamic Zhou Yi is also waiting for an opportunity...
"A whole army raid!!"
With an order, the long-silent military formation completely exposed their hideous fangs at this moment. Liu Zheng, who had long rested enough, waved the Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand, and led the troops to break through again!
There are five-star generals leading the way, and a few werewolf warriors are not to be feared at all. While the Spring and Autumn Sword is waving, the ferocious combat power of the first-class generals exploded. The three werewolf warriors who tried to stop him, just one encounter is one death and two. Hurt, Li Yuanjie's eyelids jumped from the back, "Li Ke, stop that human for me!!"
After receiving the order, Li Ke decisively waved his two knives and rushed forward again, but Zhou Yi, who had been guarding the opponent for a long time, could let this werewolf get in their way?
"Stop it!" With the same order, a dozen or twenty bronze halberds attacked Li Ke at the same time. Facing such a battle, no matter how fierce the generals were, they had to take two steps back. Of course Li Ke also No exception, but after retreating, it will be difficult to attack again. This captain's halberd is obviously kept by Zhou Yi to fight it.
After a rush to kill, with the re-convergence of the two troops, the entire formation changed again. With Liu Zheng as a sharp knife, they frantically moved in one direction to break through the encirclement. Several targeted formation changes and the tacit cooperation between the soldiers made them hard. Life and life tore a gap in the besieging net of the orc army, and rushed out all the way!
"Chase, chase me!" At this moment, Li Yuanjie's face was undoubtedly extremely ugly. It was the first time he had met a situation like this.
Liu Zheng, who successfully broke through, turned his head and glanced at the army of orcs who were chasing after them. OK.
At this point, Liu Zheng decisively slowed down and retreated to Zhao Pan's side, "Old Zhao..."
"No!" Zhao Pan spat out these two words with a livid face. Even if he didn't listen, he knew what Liu Zheng wanted to say.
"You should see this situation better than I do. Someone has to stay behind, otherwise everyone will die!" Speaking of this, Liu Zheng's tone was a little slower, "Zhou Yi, Liu Tao, Zhang Lue, and you, you all. A few are not that kind of material, and there is only one dead end left..."
"You'll be dead if you stay!!" Zhao Pan, who has always had a calm personality, was obviously out of control at this moment, and Liu Zheng's words were interrupted twice in a short period of time.
"But at least I can buy time!" Liu Zheng replied without showing weakness, "And don't forget, the people of Tiebicheng just evacuated before dark..."
In a word, it directly stabbed Zhao Pan's weakness, making his face pale and unable to utter a single word. With such a large-scale movement, even if it was an overnight trip, at this time, the people of Tiebi City would definitely be It can't go very far, once caught up by these monsters, the fate can be imagined.
"Going forward is the city gate. What should I do after that? I don't need to say more?" While talking, the city gate at the other end of Tiebi City was already in sight. In order to facilitate subsequent evacuation, even in the After nightfall, the city gate did not come down, but it saved them trouble.
With this thought in mind, Liu Zheng turned around to confirm the position of the chasing soldiers. With his familiarity with the terrain of Tiebi City, he kept a distance away, but it was a dream to get rid of it completely.
"Liu Zheng..."
"Let's go." While speaking, Liu Zheng reached out and snatched the torch in Zhao Pan's hand and pushed the person out of the city gate. Then he turned around decisively, not wanting to see his old brother's expression. He always hated this. scene.
As he walked, he took out a wine bag from his arms and took two sips in his mouth. After satisfying his craving, he poured all the remaining wine in the wine bag at the city gate with a pained expression on his face. This is the tiger bone wine presented to him by His Majesty. Usually he is reluctant to drink it, but now it's better, it's so cheap.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. After pouring it all down, Liu Zheng put a torch in his hand, and the entire organization was instantly engulfed by fire. The spreading fire broke the rope connecting the city gate and lost its support. The high-rise city gate suddenly crashed down.
Up to now, Liu Zheng calmed down instead, took a deep breath of the aroma of wine in the air, and when he was aroused by greed, he couldn't help licking his lips, "If I knew earlier, I should drink more. , I don't know if Lao Zhao led someone to run away..."
With this thought in mind, Liu Zheng turned his head subconsciously and glanced at the closed city gate behind him. There were dozens of figures that should not have appeared there, which made him look stunned for a moment, and his suddenly sore nose almost made him feel uncomfortable. Tears burst, and then he shouted, "Damn! I said you guys, why don't you stay with the big army to retreat?"
"The brothers are not afraid that you can't stand it alone, General, so stay and join in the fun."
"Fart! I beat them a hundred times like they are playing!" Liu Zheng laughed and scolded when he heard this, and his voice was uncontrollably hoarse. It's his old brother, the first batch of soldiers under his command. After so many years of fighting, they died, died, retired and retired. Now they are still with him, and these are the only ones left. Name, "Where's Lao Lu? The grandson won't be here, right?"
"No, that grandson wants to stay, I gave him a kick for free and kicked him out. My son is almost running all over the ground, and I don't know what to do. This time, we are the only ones. These old bachelors accompany you."
In the time they spoke, accompanied by a burst of laughter, the army of orcs who quickly chased and killed them in the distance had already surrounded them at the city gate...
