"All Long Spear Brigades, tighten to the left!"
Raising his plume spear, Kolman shouted loudly with his hands on his hips.
Amid the sound of war drums, the black-clad long spearmen in a 50x8 formation stood still on the left, while the soldiers on the right quickly closed in on the left until only a hand's width could fit between their shoulders.
On the battlefield, such a distance means the beginning of face-to-face combat with enemy cavalry or infantry.
A tight formation can delay the impact of a horse, and soldiers equipped with hook spears might even pull a knight off his horse.
According to Horn's design, the entire battle group has 4,000 infantry, including 3,200 long spear soldiers and 800 holy gunners.
In a corps, there are 8 Long Spear Masters and 2 Holy Gun Masters.
Horn ultimately reduced the number of holy gunners because the production of holy guns still couldn't keep up.
