Chapter 30 Heavy Cavalry
Update time: 2012-03-30
At this point in the battle, Carus also discovered something wrong. He did not underestimate the strength of the Beast Soldiers, but underestimated the powerful power of the Elf Clan archers and Dwarf Musketeers.
Indeed, if there were no mass killing of the elves and dwarf musketeers behind, there would be only 300 orc infantry, and under the fierce attack led by some fighters on Carus, there would have been heavy losses.
Although the orc infantry were brave, Carus and others were numerous, and there were many fighters who could fight against orc infantry, as well as magicians. The magician opened the formation and led the fighters forward. No matter how strong the orc infantry was, they would be destroyed. However, their magicians were killed by Tyrande as soon as they came, and several fighters were frantically driven by musketeers and Tyrande.
But there is no way to do this. Elf clan archers can escape, so they didn't notice that Xiao Yu had so many archers at the beginning, and they wouldn't have thought of magical troops like Dwarf Musketeers.
They naturally have excellent archers, but Xiao Yu's side already has the advantage of the city walls. It is difficult for their archers to pose a threat to the elves who are in a good position, not to mention that the shadow escape of the elves archers makes them easily lose their targets.
In the long-range battle, Carus was defeated.
Carus, who is in the age of cold weapons, would not think too much about the huge power of long-range dense firepower strikes. As a modern person, Xiao Yu has a very good understanding of the huge role of long-range heavy firepower strikes.
Both Napoleon and Rommel advocated the large-scale centralized use of automated heavy weapons, causing suppression to the other party.
As long as you suppress the other party, you will win.
Therefore, in this battle, the orc infantry and human infantry were not mainly lethal, and the archers and musketeers were the main lethality.
The dwarf musketeers were not as fast as the flexible archers. Basically, the elves archers shot five, and they probably only shot one.
However, their suppression of the fighters and the damage of the magicians played a crucial role in the battle situation. This is the characteristic of the troops.
Xiao Yu once thought that there are magicians in this world, heavy infantry and cavalry, powerful fighters, and it is not impossible for them to directly run out of the army to hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Although he has elite soldiers, his number is pitifully small. His only advantage is the cooperation of multiple troops. Only by using troops to cooperate with this path can he gain an advantage.
Otherwise, once the troops are not well coordinated, he will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat under the opponent's sea of people tactics.
"All retreat, all retreat." Seeing that this was not good, Carus quickly ordered a retreat. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he might be wiped out by his side, and the opponent's archers were too powerful.
He was very depressed. It was originally his own city wall. If they had guarded the city wall at the beginning, no matter how many archers there were, the other party would not be afraid. The archers would not play any role by shooting from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. But the city wall was lost and the other party was condescending, and the city wall became a weapon for the other party to defend.
This is Xiao Yu's shrewdness. He planned it from the beginning, occupied the geographical advantage, and fully utilized the advantages of the archers of his elves' elves' archers to suppress the opponent, and achieved such brilliant results.
If you encounter two sides head-on in a vast land, there will be thousands of people on the other side and cavalry, you can easily bypass 300 infantry to attack archers. In that case, your side will definitely be defeated.
If it is a forcibly siege battle on the front, it will be even more overwhelming. No matter how powerful the elves archers are, they will still be overwhelmed when they shoot against each other under the city. With such a small number of orc infantry, not many of them can climb up to the wall and be shot to death.
Therefore, the reason why this battle was won was Xiao Yu's correct use of the military cooperation was a tactical victory. At that time, Xiao Yu was also the champion of the Warcraft Elite Competition, so the use of this tactic was naturally no problem. Although there was some difference between the real world and the game, as a puppet army fan, Xiao Yu still had a high ideological advantage in this backward era of cold weapons.
Sure enough, when Carus and his men retreated from the archer's range, Xiao Yu stopped chasing him. Because once Xiao Yu lost the position of the city wall, he was definitely not the opponent's opponent.
But in just a moment, more than a thousand people had died of Carus's men, and six hundred people who had charged in the chaos began to kill. Carus's robber soldiers had already died of two thousand, including a magician and five fighters.
Those fighters were either shot to death by Tyrande or were shot to death by musketeers.
The fighter can withstand the feather arrows of ordinary elf archers, but cannot withstand Tyrande's scorching arrows and musketeers' bullets.
"Okay, okay, your name is Xiao Yu, I remember, let's see how I massacre your Lion King leader in the future." Carus was extremely angry. This was a great failure he had never experienced since he became a robber. More than 2,000 people died in less than half an hour. You know, his copycat had only less than 5,000 people, which was half of them.
Xiao Yu watched them withdraw from the archer's range and smiled slightly, saying, "You guys who are cross-breeding with humans and beasts, you want to fight with me? You also slaughter us Lion King leader? Joke, I am the king of this era appointed by the Elf God, the Beast God, and the Dwarf God. You have the great fortune to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. You either surrender or die. If you fight with me, you are worthy of it?"
Xiao Yu is definitely familiar with swearing. In the online game, he encountered some sb players and swearing each other. It was a century-old war. Xiao Yu had gone through many rounds of life and death training and had developed a swearing and invincible swearing skills. How could this Carus be his opponent?
"Hmph, now, the king of this era? Just you? Today I will let you die here. I see what great luck you have? Come and summon heavy cavalry." At this time, Carus's face was ferocious, and he waved his hand and took out his last killer weapon.
It takes a certain amount of time to get the heavy cavalry equipped. When they are attacked in a hurry in the dark, the heavy cavalry will not go out immediately. They were all ordered by Carus to put on their equipment first, prepare, and wait for them to appear when needed.
Otherwise, the heavy cavalry would also go out to fight alone like other infantry, and would completely lose the role of the heavy cavalry.
In the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry is definitely the master of the battlefield. The charge of a team of heavy cavalry in a formation can directly break through the enemy's formation, and the infantry behind it can easily achieve the final victory.
In many major battles, both sides confront each other head-on, it depends on whose heavy cavalry gains an advantage and overwhelms the other.
Ordinary robbers have no money to build a heavy cavalry unit. Because although heavy cavalry is powerful and is the master of the battlefield, they are also an absolute money-burning machine.
A qualified heavy cavalry, including the training of soldiers, the selection of horses, the creation of armor, and the running-in of battle formations, has an average value of a person to reach thousands of gold coins. If you don’t have money, you don’t want to raise heavy cavalry at all.
Carus accumulated more than ten years of capital to cultivate a heavy cavalry unit of 300 people, but this heavy cavalry unit of more than 300 people once made many of his opponents frightened.
When the heavy cavalry runs, it is like countless chariots rushing by, and ordinary human infantry are directly crushed into meat paste. In this robber gang, being able to have such a heavy cavalry unit is a symbol of absolute strength.
At this time, fires had already started everywhere in the back of the village, and it was burning in a mess. Although someone went to deal with it, setting fires was definitely easier than putting out fires.
A person sets a fire, which can make a hundred people run away.
Therefore, the main buildings in the parcel are almost burned out. Carus must end the battle as soon as possible and defeat Xiao Yu before he can put out the fire. Otherwise, his hard work after more than ten years of hard work will be completely burned.
Hissing...
Accompanied by the neighing of war horses, the three hundred cavalry had already gathered. The strong war horse's iron hooves stepped on the ground and made a rumble sound, gathering into a piece, as if thunder had rolled by.
The war horses that can carry heavy cavalry are not ordinary war horses, they are all one in a thousand and must be extremely strong to withstand such heavy armor.
Purchasing heavy cavalry war horses is a very big problem and the first difficulty in forming heavy cavalry. Without good war horses, there is no way to talk about heavy cavalry.
At this time, the heavy cavalry had already assembled. Under the leadership of the commander, they slowly stood at a distance of 300 steps from the city wall and formed an array.
"Prepare for me to charge and kill these beast soldiers." Carus twitched his face and gave the order. Even if he wiped out Xiao Yu completely today, his losses would be huge.
Xiao Yu was so despicable that he actually sent someone to set fire and burned all his belongings.
He even chopped Xiao Yu into meat sauce and ate it without relieving his anger.
Xiao Yu looked at the opponent's heavy cavalry, but he narrowed his eyes and shone a treacherous light.
"Damn it, fortunately, I have prepared two blade chariots and musketeers. Otherwise, there would be no way to rely on orc infantry and elves archers to get these heavy cavalry."
Xiao Yu waved his hand and the two blade chariots hidden behind were quietly lifted out by four beast soldiers and got on the moon blade.
