The training of the shield wall formation lasted for a week, but these Noskas still couldn't master it well. They could distinguish the whistle and see the flag clearly, but they couldn't do it once the specific operation was done. All kinds of chaos, just like the experience in the forest that day, the shield holders were always unable to find their position well, and at the same time, the shield wall could not close well, and there were always gaps.

Thinking of the Northern Legion with trolls and large units like Mammoth, Rhode thought about it and gave up the training of the defensive formation if he failed to train. He changed to the training of the attack formation.

The offensive formation is the same as the defensive formation, which is a key factor in the entire battle. The earliest oblique formation to be learned and trained was one of the attack formations. However, what Rhodes will train them next is a more complex offensive formation.

First, the scattered attack formation.

In other words, this is a formation, rather than a formation. Because its forces will be very scattered and flexible. It is usually impossible to achieve unified command of hundreds of people, but more than a dozen or twenty people are a small team, and the captain is commanded on the spot. This formation is usually used to deal with large units, such as mammoth beasts, trolls, or giants.

It can also be said that this is the formation that the Noska Raiders are best at.

The principle is: let light troops attack before the war begins, hunt large-scale attack units of the enemy with long-range weapons, and take mammoth war elephants as an example. When the two armies are fighting, if they encounter large units such as mammoths, you cannot defend with dense formations. In that case, with the size of the mammoth beast, a large piece of flesh and blood will be blurred with one foot. At the same time, you are unlikely to kill these giant beasts through melee battles, because next to them is a terrible thing. A crush can instantly trample you to the ground. The ivory of the mammoth beast can even easily overturn the cavalry.

So, at this time, you need hunters. Use javelins and bows as the main weapons to hunt these battlefield monsters from a distance. However, the range of hunting spears and bows cannot be too far, so it has become a science to keep a proper distance to hunt war monsters. What Rhodes wants to train is the ability of the Noska people. They shoot battlefield monsters from all angles.

They were originally hunting large animals in the forest and were able to easily engage in guerrilla tactics in the snow. Therefore, hunting is not difficult. The difficulty is how to act in a unified manner and retreat uniformly when working.

Generally speaking, once you hunt large enemy units, the enemy generals will order large troops to attack and flood you with a sea of ​​people. At this time, if the front-line hunter does not retreat, he will be directly slaughtered by the enemy's heavy attack troops.

What Rhodes needs to train is to let these Noska plunderers retreat as soon as they hear the order, rather than continue to fight. No matter how powerful the warrior is, it is impossible to deal with more than ten enemies at the same time.

Therefore, it is also very important to know how to retreat. It is an important means to maintain vitality.

The training was very smooth at the beginning. More than 100 Norska raiders were divided into eight teams, and each selected the field captain. With the method of roar, the team quickly hit the target, but there was a problem when retreating. It was chaotic and crashed into the large army like a headless fly.

Rhodes' request was that once the shield array makes clear escape passages for these hunters, they will retreat quickly from these passages. However, the Norskas and the savages are no different. They knocked on the shield array and jumped directly in... making their own square array in chaos...

"stop!"

"Are you wild beasts? This is not hunting. Retreat in an orderly manner. Come back whatever you attack! Do it again!"

On the training ground, Rhode yelled loudly.

A group of tough guys in the North Carolina had to obey the order again. Although they were unhappy, no one dared to oppose their leader because no one could beat him... In the eyes of these Noska people, Rhodes was the existence of the God of War, a man blessed by the gods. No one could fight against the Son of God. This is an unquestionable fact.

So, although they are unhappy, they still have to continue training.

In the north, the temperature in early summer is not high, but these Noska predators are still sweating profusely. Compared with wild training, this short-distance burst training actually requires higher physical fitness, because of the short-distance sprinting and spear throwing.

After one morning, many people were exhausted and panting. They needed a lot of food to fill their hunger. For this reason, Rhodes asked some of the raiders to continue to hunt in the forest, while the other stayed for training. The two teams alternated and circled, training tactical formations while gaining meat. After all, there was no pasture around Black Hammer Castle and no cattle and sheep were raised.

Based on the principle that persistence is victory, Rhode trained these barbarians for half a month. In this way, these North Carolina warriors barely learned to scatter the formation and fight scattered soldiers.

When a group of big men stumbled back to the rear of the position from the gap between the shield wall, Rhode felt a little comfort from his heart. Future battles will no longer be such small-scale battles, but may be battles between legions. At that time, these seemingly meaningless trainings became very useful.

Of course, the current exercises are not particularly successful. The soldiers' discipline and cooperation require long-term training and running-in. At present, Rhode's training for these barbarians is only initial results at most. To achieve perfect cooperation, it also takes years of practice. Or through several practical battles to consolidate.

This summer, a lot of work is unfolding in an orderly manner.

On the edge of the town, the solid outer wall is being built bit by bit. First, the granary and wells were surrounded, and a large arrow tower was built. When necessary, a small number of people can be protected to temporarily take shelter. The people's sense of security is increasing.

What made Rhode even more gratified was that the ice pepper seeds sown two months ago had begun to sprout... In the experimental field of Black Hammer Fort, Caroline devoted all her energy to the ice pepper planting, not only for the rich economic benefits, but also for the free underground hot springs.

With the efforts of the Frost Cold Witch, an ice barrier was cast around the test field, and the temperature was more than ten degrees colder than in the winter of Black Hammer Castle. With Caroline's ice magic, these ice pepper seeds finally broke out, which was completely different from what I imagined. When Rhode saw these seeds, they appeared in a translucent form. Like blue crystal, crystal clear. However, generally speaking, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous it is. According to Caroline, these ice peppers are now very dangerous because they still have many frost energy that have not been released and they will be picked directly with their hands. They will be frostbite. It can be imagined that once this batch of ice peppers is successfully planted, the economic value it brings will far exceed that of the fur and ore business...
