Chapter 51 Disadvantages of the Macedonian Phalanx

Chapter 51 Disadvantages of the Macedonian Phalanx
And when they crazily questioned Yang Fan, they cited all kinds of evidence to analyze and prove that the Qin Dynasty did not exist at all! !
Some soft bones of the Dragon Clan also shook their lips and tongues, insulting Yang Fan frantically,
"The experts are right!! It is impossible for the Qin Dynasty to exist!!"

"Foreign experts are reliable, and they won't tell lies!! How can the Dragon Clan's Brick family make fake things?"

"A famous emperor like Alexander, and the Macedonian army he founded, resounded all over the world. If it hadn't been for the even more powerful Roman Empire, Macedonia might have unified Europe!"

"The anchor is simply deceiving the public! He keeps talking about flying birds and how powerful the Qin Dynasty's weapons are, but he only uses high-tech weapons to deceive people!!"

In an instant, countless dragon cartilages,
The scolding was so fierce that the foreigners did not know how much to drink, which also made all the foreigners a little stunned.
but,

The next moment, while their hearts were filled with joy, deep disdain and disdain suddenly rose from their hearts.

Such dragons are not worthy to be compared with them! !
You don't even deserve to ride on top of them! !
"Hmph! You bastards, you bastards! If you don't like the Dragon Clan, get out of here! Why bother to smear the Dragon Clan! How powerful is the Macedonian Phalanx? The Macedonian Phalanx is invincible? That's just because he hasn't met a slightly more powerful country. , in my opinion, the Macedonian phalanx has too many shortcomings!!"

Seeing these soft bones, Yang Fan finally couldn't help shouting loudly, his eyes were a little red,

What he hates the most in his heart now is not those who have been questioning the Dragon Clan,
It's not that they are clamoring that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is their shameless Asi, but these most scolding dragon bones! !

Yang Fan's insult instantly aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of those soft bones,
"Brainless anchor, how dare you scold us?"

"The dragon clan is not as good as others, and they are still cheating here, why don't people say it?"

"Although I am a native of Longguo, do you think I'm a rare person to stay here? I'll go through the formalities in a few days, and I'll go to the great Asi Bar and become a high-ranking Asi Bar citizen. You guys are jealous!! "

"Hehe! The pot boy of the dragon clan really knows nothing but swearing!! Fortunately, I didn't find a boyfriend of the dragon clan, otherwise I would be so mad!!" "Trash pot boy! You don't need to tell me, our sisters will leave in a group soon Garbage dragon clan, freedom and fresh air in foreign countries, can you compare?!"

Suddenly,

The entire live broadcast room was in chaos, those hidden soft knees and nipples jumped out one after another,

And the audience in the live broadcast room did not give in at all. Seeing these remarks that ruined the three views, they immediately began to curse,

And this time,
Yang Fan looked at those remarks and was about to say something, but Huang Datian's words slowly sounded in his head. Arguing with these rubbish things will only waste saliva, and it is not worth it at all.

"call!!"

Yang Fan exhaled heavily, and then slowly said: "Since you don't believe me, then I will analyze it for you!
When the two armies are at war, if the number and strength of the soldiers on both sides are equal, the key to determining the outcome is the level of the general's formation.

The Macedonian phalanx created by King Philip II of Macedon on the basis of the Greek phalanx can be said to be quite famous.

Of course, although the Macedonian phalanx is powerful, it is not perfect, and there are many ways to break it.

There is an old saying in the dragon clan, which is called knowing yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

To crack the Macedonian phalanx, the first thing we need to do is to understand the mystery of this phalanx.

The Macedonian phalanx consisted of 250 people each, with a total of [-] six soldiers.

Every soldier is equipped with heavy armor.

The outer soldiers are equipped with shields and shorter weapons, while the further back the soldiers have longer spears, looking like a giant hedgehog from a distance.

It is worth mentioning that there are cavalry and spear protection on the flanks and rear of the phalanx,

In order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.Because this formation is so incomprehensible, many people call it a human tank.

This phalanx has many advantages, such as being both offensive and defensive and easy to learn.

However, this phalanx has many shortcomings.

First of all, this phalanx is only suitable for plains, and the effect will be greatly reduced if it is used on terrain such as hills.

As long as you find a way to place the battle site on those rugged terrain, then the Macedonian phalanx will not be able to play a role.

Second, the Macedonian phalanx is very afraid of long-range attacks.

Although protected by shields, long-range attacks can still cause huge damage to the opponent's formation.
Because the Macedonian phalanx is very densely populated, it can be said to be a living target.

It would be fine if the attack fell on the shield, but if it fell on those cavalry or horses, it would cause confusion in the formation.

At this time, as long as you break through the surface and find a gap, you can quickly break up the formation.

There are not many requirements for the choice of long-range weapons, just ordinary bows and crossbows will do.

The most ideal effect is to shoot the enemy directly,

It doesn't matter if the accuracy is a bit off, at least it can put a certain amount of pressure on the soldiers in the battle formation, and it's not a problem for them to mess up.

Of course, the biggest problem with this phalanx is already on the surface.

The Macedonian phalanx specially arranged cavalry to help, just to protect the infantry.

Although the Macedonian phalanx is invincible in frontal attack, once its flanks and rear are breached, the entire phalanx will disintegrate in an instant.

This is because soldiers holding shields and spears are very difficult to change direction, and a little carelessness may accidentally injure friendly troops.

In other words, if you want to fight against the Macedonian phalanx, you don't need to face the powerful infantry at all.
You only need to find a way to defeat the guarding cavalry, and the soldiers in the middle will become lambs to be slaughtered.

Moreover, as they penetrated into the Macedonian phalanx, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers gradually decreased.
Because the spear is an absolute weapon when attacking from a distance,
But it is very tasteless in close combat, and it may not be as good as fighting with bare hands.

It is not surprising that the Macedonian phalanx was breached.

Because the powerful offensive of the Macedonian phalanx is at the expense of flexibility,
As long as its weakness can be easily cracked.

In fact, no formation in military history is absolutely perfect,
As long as it appears once, the enemy may figure out a way to deal with it.

Those outstanding generals in history have never relied on an invincible formation to be proud of the world, but adopted the most suitable battle formation according to different battle situations.

And with the military strength of the Qin Dynasty at that time, millions of people,

Even if it is one-tenth of the crossbowmen, that is one hundred thousand crossbowmen,
10 people each have one arrow, that is [-] bows and arrows. It only takes one round of bows and arrows, and the Macedonian army will collapse immediately. What's more, the Qin Dynasty still has a powerful crossbow that shoots continuously? "
