Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Woo~~~~~~~~

As the melodious horns were blown in the winter, groups of centaur warriors holding large axes began to step onto the frozen ice of the Yellow River.

The Centaur team was very messy, and they directly covered several kilometers of ice.

Behind the centaur are countless naive Baikal seals.

The centaur army opened the way for them in the front, while they used their breath in the rear to continuously build smooth ice roads forward.

Behind the Baikal Seals were giant trebuchets lined up.

These trebuchets are new counterweighted trebuchets newly developed by the Craftsman Department of the Condor Empire.

These new trebuchets not only have a longer range, but they are also very flexible in movement.

In the winter, their bottoms can be equipped with huge ice blades designed for gliding on ice.

In other seasons, they can be fitted with sturdy wheels on the bottom that are easy to push.

In addition to the dwarf engineers responsible for operating the trebuchets, there is also a large group of Baikal seals on standby at any time.

The biggest drawback of the trebuchet in the past was that it was very laborious to move. As long as the enemy got close, it would be easily destroyed.

Although the new counterweighted trebuchets of the Condor Empire still have this flaw, in winter, after having the Baikal seal, a cute little creature that can make ice balls at any time, they have a new ability - movement shooting.

With the assistance of ice blades, the trebuchet can move back and forth on flat ice.

As long as an enemy appears, they can stop immediately and let the Baikal seals following the trebuchet condense the ice ball.

In this way, they can launch a rain of ice balls at the enemy as soon as the enemy comes into range.

Of course, the trebuchet phalanx still needs to be protected by one's own army in front.

Only if the army can intercept enemies who want to get closer, can the trebuchet phalanx continue to carry out long-range strikes against enemies who enter the range.

Those centaur troops who were the first to set foot on the ice of the Yellow River were the guardians of the Baikal seals and the trebuchet phalanx.

If the enemy wants to get close to the trebuchet phalanx, they must first break through their level.

...

After learning that the Condor Army on the other side of the Yellow River had begun to cross the river, Xiong Dashi led a group of generals from the Dashi Kingdom to a high ground immediately, and then began to observe the specific actions of the Condor Army with binoculars.

Xiong Dashi did not pay too much attention to the Centaur Legion at the forefront, because in terms of close combat, his Bear Guard Legion had not been afraid of anyone.

But when he saw the large white and gray Baikal seals behind the centaur army, his face immediately became very ugly.

As those Baikal seals, which were just a kind of food in the eyes of Xiong Dashi, kept moving forward to pupate on the ice, the originally uneven ice surface immediately began to become smoother.

Looking at the giant trebuchets lined up on the north bank of the Yellow River, Xiong Dashi immediately guessed what the Condor Army wanted to do.

"Uncle, the Condor Army wants to use the military formation to cover the trebuchets to attack us!

If the Condor Army is allowed to successfully transport those tall stones, we will be quite passive whether it is defense or offense. "

Not only Xiong Dashi saw this, but his nephew Xiong Xiaoguang also saw this.

"Xiaoguang, what countermeasures have you thought of?" Xiong Dashi asked.

"Uncle, I think we should take the initiative to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.

We can use the height difference between the two banks of the Yellow River and the river surface to defeat the Centaur army that wants to cross the river.

The current section of the Yellow River where the Condor Army is crossing is about 300 meters wide.

Three hundred meters is also the maximum range of the trebuchet.

So we can completely hold on to our side of the river and prevent the Centaur army from coming ashore.

When we were fighting the enemy's Centaur Legion, the enemy's trebuchets did not dare to be launched casually, because it would accidentally injure their own people.

If the enemy's centaur army retreats, we will also retreat and get out of the effective range of the enemy's trebuchet.

If the enemy pushes the trebuchet onto the ice of the Yellow River to cover the Centaur legion's landing, then we can take the opportunity to rush down and destroy all the enemy's trebuchets.

Without the threat of those trebuchets, the next war will be easier for us to fight.

At that time, whether we are fighting head-on with the enemy in the wild, or defending Jinan City, we will have the right to take the initiative.

Because without the trebuchets, the Condor Army would not be able to fight a siege with us. "

Xiong Xiaoguang talked eloquently and directly understood the real weakness of the Condor Army.

After listening to Xiong Xiaoguang's analysis, Xiong Dashi couldn't help but nod.

His nephew finally lived up to his careful cultivation. This time, the two of them thought of going together.

"Pass my military order, and the army will immediately go to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent the centaur army from landing."

Considering that the Centaur legion sent by the Condor Army was large in number and the front was very long, Xiong Dashi did not dare to conserve his strength and directly chose to go all out.

Following Xiong Dashi's order, the most elite Bear Guards Corps of the Dashi Kingdom immediately began to advance towards the bank of the Yellow River.

In the understanding of the uncles and nephews Xiong Dashi and Xiong Xiaoguang, the next scene should be a fierce battle between the Bear Guards Corps of the Dashi Kingdom and the Centaur Corps of the Condor Army on the river bank.

Facing the heavily armed Ursine Guards, the centaur troops who rushed to the river bank should be driven down quickly.

Next, the Ursine Guards will use the giant shields in their hands to set up a steel defense line on the shore, firmly suppressing the Condor Army on the ice.

The uncle and nephew had a pretty good idea, but what happened next shocked them.

When the soldiers of the Ursine Guards Corps rushed towards the river bank, the Centaur Corps on the ice did not rush forward to compete with them for control of the river bank, but continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

Xiong Dashi frowned suddenly when he saw the enemy's centaur army still moving at a snail's pace on the ice.

However, before he could think of why the enemy did not seize the high ground on the river bank with them, the giant trebuchets on the other side of the river that had not yet moved had already launched a throwing attack.

Under the horrified and disbelieving gazes of Xiong Dashi and others, countless ice balls roared across the sky, and then landed directly on the ranks of the Bear Guards Corps that were advancing towards the river bank.

"This is impossible. Shouldn't the maximum range of a trebuchet be about three hundred meters?"

Seeing a piece of ice flying over a distance of five to six hundred meters and landing in the ranks of his own army, it suddenly hit hundreds of soldiers of the Ursine Guards. Xiong Dashi's face was full of horror. At this moment, he was completely Panic.

"Uncle, what should we do now?

Should we withdraw our troops immediately? "

The war had just begun, and they suffered a head-on attack, and Xiong Xiaoguang suddenly became confused.

"Chu sent our military order to charge the whole army and fight directly to the other side of the Yellow River. Today we must destroy all those damn trebuchets."

As the founder of the Dashi Kingdom, Xiong Dashi had experienced hundreds of battles, so he quickly regained his composure.

After regaining his composure, Xiong Dashi analyzed the tactics that were most suitable for them in the lightning room.

If we order the army to retreat now, we can indeed stop the losses temporarily, but it will only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Because if they withdraw from the attack range of the Condor Army's trebuchets, it will be equivalent to handing over the entire Yellow River bank to the Condor Army.

After the Condor Army sets up a solid defense on the river bank, they will have enough time to transport those trebuchets with ultra-long range.

At that time, whether they are defending or taking the initiative to attack, they will still be struck first by the trebuchets of the Condor Army.

Xiong Dashi knew very well that if they wanted to crush the Condor Army's winter offensive, they had to destroy all the trebuchets that posed a huge threat to them, otherwise they would have no hope of winning at all.

Under the heavy protection of the Condor Army, it was not easy for them to get close to those trebuchets.

However, nothing is absolute, because now there is a huge opportunity in front of them.

In order to cover the construction of the ice road by the Baikal seals, the Centaur legions of the Condor Army were very dispersed, and their front was very long.

Behind the centaur army are the Baikal seals that can only serve as food and have no lethality.

The Condor Army's trebuchet position is now located just on the north bank of the Yellow River.

If his Ursine Guards regiment can break through the defense lines of the Centaur troops, then the Condor Army's trebuchet positions will be immediately exposed to their attack.

Now there is only the Centaur Army as an obstacle between the Condor Army's trebuchet positions and them. This is definitely a golden opportunity for them who want to destroy those who have ultra-long range trebuchets.

It was precisely because of this analysis that Xiong Dashi decisively issued the order for the entire army to charge.

He wanted to take advantage of the Condor Army's underestimation of the enemy and catch the Condor Army off guard. It would be best if he could take this opportunity to directly inflict heavy damage on this proud Condor Army. Even worse, he could destroy the trebuchets that were a huge threat to them.

...

The Divine Eagle Army was immediately taken aback by the full-scale charge launched by the Dashi Kingdom.

They didn't seem to expect that the enemy would fight for their lives as soon as they came up, so they suddenly seemed a little panicked.

The first person to panic was the Baikal Seals who were building an ice and snow tunnel on the ice.

After discovering that the enemy had launched a full-scale charge, the frightened druids immediately ordered the Baikal seals to flee to both sides.

After discovering that the Baikal seals building the road behind them ran away in an instant, the Centaur army on the ice immediately began to hesitate.

They didn't know whether they should continue to move forward, defend in place, or immediately retreat to the front of the trebuchet position to protect those precious trebuchets.

While the two legions in front were running and hesitating, the trebuchet positions that had been fully firing just now had already stopped throwing attacks.

The dwarf engineers directly pulled up the rope tied to the bottom of the trebuchet and began to pull the trebuchet backwards with great effort.

After seeing this series of reactions from the Condor Army, Xiong Dashi strengthened his judgment just now.

In order to boost the morale of the army and strive to defeat the Condor Army in one fell swoop, Xiong Dashi directly led his bodyguards to join the charging team.

He wanted to lead the expedition in person and use his battle ax to wash away the humiliation the Condor Empire had brought to him during this period.

Seeing that Xiong Dashi had personally gone into battle, Xiong Xiaoguang and others could no longer watch the battle from behind. They also picked up their weapons and followed Xiong Dashi.

When the soldiers of the Ursine Guards Corps who were running at the front rushed onto the ice along the river bank, the centaur warriors in the middle of the ice finally responded.

They all pulled out their javelins from behind, and then threw them at the charging enemies.

The soldiers of the Ursine Guards Corps all held shields and wore heavy armor. In addition, they were rough-skinned and thick-flesh, so the wave of javelin throws by the centaur warriors did not cause them much trouble.

After discovering that the javelin rain could not hurt the enemy, the centaur warriors immediately panicked.

They didn't seem to want to fight hand-to-hand with the tall Ursine heavy infantry, so they all immediately turned around and started running back.

At this time, the advantages of four legs are fully revealed.

Although the ice was a bit slippery, the Centaur warriors were still much faster than the heavily armored Ursine heavy infantry.

As a result, the distance between the two was quickly widened.

The active retreat of the Centaur Legion immediately boosted the morale of the orc army in the Great Stone Kingdom. All the orc warriors could not help but let out a roar that shook the sky, and then chased straight towards the trebuchets that were being pulled back.

No matter how slow the Ursine heavy infantry were, it was still far faster than the trebuchets pulled by the dwarves.

As the distance between the two continued to shorten, the eyes of everyone in the Dashi Kingdom lit up, because in a short while, no one could stop them from destroying those damn trebuchets.

However, just when the warriors of the Big Stone Kingdom thought they had a chance to win, a large group of tauren warriors carrying huge totem poles suddenly appeared to the north of the slow-moving trebuchets.

The soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom thought that the sudden appearance of the tauren army was to cover the trebuchet's retreat, but the opponent's subsequent actions left them confused for a moment.

The tauren warriors suddenly stopped advancing when they were still nearly a hundred meters away from the trebuchet.

Then all the tauren warriors smashed the huge totem poles in their hands to the ground while roaring.

Once, twice, three times...

Those tauren warriors seemed to be full of food and kept smashing the totem pole to the ground, then lifting it, and then smashing it to the ground again, and the cycle started again.
