Soldiers on foot, collectively

Usage examples of infantries.

Indeed, the Torian Squares, which I have mentioned, common among Gorean infantries, with their superior mobility and regrouping capacities, had, long ago, made the phalanxes of such cities as Ar and, in the south, Turia, obsolete.

Yet, in the day of the tharlarion and tarn, one still finds, among infantries, the Torian Square.

The Phobosian and the Deimosian infantries went at each other with weapons so advanced as to make Earth’s rifles and howitzers seem like peashooters.

It is possible, therefore, knowing the defects of both these infantries, to invent a new one, which will resist cavalry and not be afraid of infantry.
