Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Vol 2 Chapter 1306: , Winter Song (95)

The cavalry is the strongest army on the field battlefield in the cold weapon era, and there is no one.

Whether a country is strong or not depends on whether it has a strong cavalry regiment in addition to its territory size and army size.

Of course, cavalry is not perfect without any weaknesses, speed is their biggest advantage, but also a fatal injury to them.

The cavalry with speed is almost invincible. Even in the face of an impregnable wall, they can still remain invincible, because they come and go as they want, and the enemy can't keep them at all.

If a cavalry suddenly loses speed, then it will be their most vulnerable time. At this time, they are not even as good as an organized infantry, and they will easily be overwhelmed by a large number of infantry.

The above advantages and disadvantages are the most realistic portrayal of cavalry, but this does not include the special cavalry race of centaurs.

The centaurs are natural cavalry. They combine speed and strength perfectly. They are best at long-distance rushing, can attack from a distance, and can charge. They are the most perfect cavalry arms, no one.

Centaur warriors not only have the advantages of ordinary cavalry, but also perfectly avoid those shortcomings of ordinary cavalry.

They are the most feared heavy cavalry when charging at the enemy.

When using long-range attacks to continuously eat away the enemy's living strength, they will instantly transform into the best archers.

When they get into hand-to-hand combat with their foes, their strong physique makes them powerful orc warriors who can frighten their foes.

That's right, although the centaurs are independent from the orcs, they should actually be regarded as a special race among the orcs in terms of body structure.

So the centaur family is so powerful, do they really have no weaknesses?

There is no perfect race in this world. They are stronger than the centaurs. They also have fatal weaknesses. If they were really perfect, Ning Yuan would not have been able to defeat them.

The biggest weakness of the centaurs is their fear of falling into some small space.

Due to their extremely large physique, centaurs require a certain amount of space for each movement.

If you block them in a relatively small space, then their physical advantages and speed advantages cannot be exerted.

The reason why Ning Yuan was able to defeat the powerful centaurs on the Mongolian plateau was because he took full advantage of the terrain.

If it wasn't for his design to introduce the centaur legion into the long and narrow valley, and then use the orc heavy infantry to wrap the centaur legion into dumplings, it would be very difficult for him to defeat the pride of the heavens on the grassland - the centaurs on the vast Mongolian plateau. .

After successfully subduing the centaur clan, Ning Yuan gave this son of the grassland the utmost care.

And the centaur family did not disappoint Ning Yuan. After the Eagle Empire left Shanhaiguan in the west, as long as they participated in the battle, the enemy was killed almost every time, because in the wild, no matter how strong the defense was They were ruthlessly trampled on by their iron hooves.

This time, the reason why Ning Yuan dared to use fewer enemies and more enemies, trying to keep all the three colorful bridges at one time, the 300,000 centaur warriors were his biggest support for this action.

In each war zone, he sent a centaur army of 100,000 people.

In Ning Yuan's view, as long as it wasn't a siege battle, even if the Northern Expedition Coalition had a million troops in each theater, they would not be the opponents of the 100,000 centaur army.

Because it is impossible for the army of millions to unfold all at once, and in the face of the charge of the Centaur Legion, as long as the Northern Expedition Allied Forces in front are defeated, then it will definitely turn into a big rout immediately.

And the fact is just as Ning Yuan expected.

After the Mermaid Legion successfully captured the fortifications of the Colorful Bridge on both sides of the north and south banks by means of sneak attacks, relying on the advantage of the number of troops, the Northern Expedition Allied Forces still have the strength to fight.

However, with the timely arrival of the Centaur Legion, the balance of victory immediately tilted violently towards the Condor Army.

After the Centaur Legion arrived at the Rainbow Bridge on the north bank, they did not rush to cross the river, but chose to help the Mermaid Legion on the north bank to stabilize the defense.

They defeated the Allied Northern Expedition encircling the North Shore fortifications with just one charge, and a one-sided massacre ensued.

As the Northern Expedition coalition forces on the north shore were purged, the mermaid army responsible for defending there was immediately liberated.

When this group of liberated mermaid troops jumped into the Yangtze River, and then suddenly rushed out from the south bank, the Northern Expedition coalition forces located on the south bank were immediately killed and defeated.

Facing the huge pressure from the river bank, Long Yifan had to send out a part of the army to go to the bank to block it.

When the attention of the Northern Expedition Allied Forces was attracted by the Mermaid Legion on the south bank, the Centaur Legion on the north bank suddenly went upstream along the river bank.

After they ran upstream along the river bank for more than 20 kilometers, a huge magic warship appeared in front of them.

As the magic warship began to dock, the centaur warriors began to board.

Twenty minutes later, the magic warship full of centaur troops slowly sailed towards the south bank of the Yangtze River.

After confirming that there was no ambush of the Northern Expedition coalition on the south bank, the warships began to dock one after another.

As the battleship docked on the shore, the southern bank of the Yangtze River was soon crowded with figures of centaur warriors.

If it was a major negligence that the Northern Expedition Coalition did not guard against the sneak attack of the Mermaid Legion, then it was definitely a fatal mistake for them to let the Centaur Legion land on the southern bank of the Yangtze River so easily.

Because the only fortification on the south bank of the Yangtze River that could withstand the charge of the Centaur Legion had been captured by the Mermaid Legion, they had been completely exposed to the attack of the Centaur Legion.

The location where the Centaur Legion landed was only a dozen kilometers away from the alliance of the Northern Expedition Alliance on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which was only a matter of minutes for the centaur warriors who were good at rushing.

When the low sound of horse hooves entered the ears of the Northern Expedition Alliance, it was already too late.

The centaur warriors in heavy armor and armed with spears rushed in effortlessly for the camp in front of them that was not even refusing horses.

In the face of the powerful impact of the centaur heavy cavalry, there was simply no one who could stand up to them, and all those who dared to stand in front of them were knocked out.

At this time, they were charging at full speed like a terrifying little tank, unstoppable.

In the process of charging, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it is impossible to maintain a high-speed charge all the time. As they hit more and more enemies, their speed will decrease rapidly until they stop completely.

Centaur warriors are the best cavalry on the surface, but they still cannot escape this iron law.

After a certain distance into the enemy camp, their speed quickly dropped to a minimum.

For the cavalry, this time is often the most dangerous, because at this moment they are in the enemy camp, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the swarming enemies.

However, the centaur warriors had no such concerns.

After losing speed, they immediately threw away the long spears in their hands, and then pulled out the mace, battle axes and other weapons with huge destructive power from behind.

After changing to a more convenient melee weapon, the centaur warriors fought like those powerful orcs with violent blood.

At this time, their weapons were not limited to the battle axes or mace in their hands, and their hind hooves had also become a nightmare for many players of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

In the past, many players have ridiculed other people's head being kicked by a donkey, and today they finally realized the feeling of being kicked by a horse.

After just a single blow, they immediately felt the world spinning, and then soon lost consciousness completely.

Faced with the centaur warriors who have turned on fury mode, it is difficult for players to get close to them.

Approaching from the front, they will be directly smashed by the whistling tomahawks and mace to vomit blood, and no one can withstand any attack by the centaur warriors.

Approaching from both sides, the centaur warriors only need to swing their weapons to the side, and they will be smashed straight out.

Approaching from behind, they will encounter a horse kick, which is more terrifying than being kicked by a donkey.

After finding it difficult to get close to the centaur warriors, some players thought of polearms, and then a large group of players with spears rushed up.

As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong. When it is impossible to get close to the centaur warrior, stabbing with a spear is indeed a very good choice.

However, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance ignored that the centaur warriors in front of them were all centaur heavy cavalry armed to the teeth.

The upper body of each centaur warrior is covered with sturdy iron armor, and their lower body is also covered with thick animal skin armor. Except for the four legs exposed in the air, there are no flaws in their bodies at all. .

In the face of the swarming spears, the centaur warriors didn't have to dodge at all, because those spears couldn't penetrate their armor at all.

After seeing that the spear could not break through the centaur's defense, the players thought of using the spear to stab the horse's legs.

Unfortunately, compared to the tall body, the four-legged target of the centaur warrior is very small, and it is very difficult for players to stab them for a while.

And even if some lucky players managed to stab the horse's leg with a spear, it wouldn't do much damage to the centaurs, because their leg bones were too hard, and the sharp spear only brought them Some skin trauma.

In short, players have tried all kinds of methods in a short period of time, but they still can't do anything about the centaur warriors who are armed to the teeth.

They couldn't think of a way to deal with the centaur heavy cavalry, so they could only let the centaur heavy cavalry slaughter them mercilessly.

In the face of the unstoppable centaur cavalry, the crowd tactics that the players are best at can't be used at all, because the centaur cavalry is not alone, and behind them are a large number of people wearing light armor. Centaur Warrior.

At this time, many centaur warriors were holding long bows and kept firing arrows at the place where the players gathered.

With their targeted shooting, it is difficult for players to organize an effective defense.

As a result, as the centaur heavy cavalry continued to move forward, the players were eventually defeated.

The most feared thing when the two armies are fighting is that a certain army is suddenly defeated, even if there are more troops under its command.

Because in many specific environments, the defeated army will instinctively flee backward, and then hit the friendly positions behind it.

Many times, in the face of an army retreating from the front, a good commander will decisively issue a kill order and shoot those soldiers who may impact their own position on the spot, in order to avoid unnecessary impact on the position. .

Long Yifan, the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan region, of course also has such courage, but unfortunately, it was dark at this time, and the battlefield was still in the camp of the Northern Expedition Alliance. The two armies were tightly entangled together. Long Yifan was not given any adjustment time at all.

So before Long Yifan fully reacted, a large number of players' troops were caught in the rout and fled backwards involuntarily.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Long Yifan was powerless.

He shouted hoarsely, but still no player was willing to obey his order and stop immediately.

Because the centaur warriors who were like killing gods were closely following them.

At this time, let alone stop, even if you run a little slower, your life will be lost.

Although the players are not afraid of death, no one is willing to die so uselessly, and many players are very reluctant to give up their current body.

Because it is very difficult for them to cultivate to the current strength, especially those players in Huaguoshan, if they are killed, the somersault cloud they carry will immediately become an unowned thing.

In order to join Huaguo Mountain, they had done a lot of work before.

In order to get somersault clouds, they paid a lot more.

If they just lost everything, how could they be reconciled?

So many players immediately had the idea of ​​​​protecting themselves after seeing the bad situation, and then immediately put it into action.

People are all selfish, and everyone else has fled. Why am I still stupid and desperate here?

With this idea in mind, more and more players joined the fleeing team.

At this time, they have no time to think about whether they can escape, anyway, they will escape first.

They didn't believe that the enemy could catch up with them all. With so many people fleeing at the same time, some of them would always be able to escape successfully.

There is some truth to this idea of ​​the players, because only the Centaur Legion is involved in the pursuit, and they really can't keep everyone behind.

But unfortunately, the Centaur Legion was just the first army to arrive on the battlefield. When they crossed the river to fight, a wolf cavalry of 50,000 people had already arrived on the bank of the Yangtze River. At this time, they had all arrived on the Yangtze River. South Shore.

In addition to the wolf cavalry regiment, a 100,000-strong owl regiment had already flown to the south of the Northern Expedition Coalition Army. At this time, they were blocking the only way for the Northern Expedition Coalition Army to escape.
