Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Lu Chenguang originally thought that the Minotaur heavy infantry could ignore the harassment of the Condor Empire wolf cavalry and walk directly to Xuchang unimpeded in front of the opponent.

Even the Wolf Cavalry of the Condor Empire, all equipped with hand crossbows, could not stop the advance of the Minotaur Heavy Infantry Legion.

As a result, just one night later, Lu Chenguang realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

On this night of camping in the wild, Lu Chenguang, Shui Ruyan and the soldiers of the Minotaur Heavy Infantry Corps were tormented all night long. They could not sleep peacefully for even a little while until the sky lightened up.

Although the wolf cavalry did not dare to attack the camp guarded by the tauren warriors head-on, they would shoot cold arrows into the camp from time to time.

Facing the cold arrows fired by the wolf cavalry, the tauren warriors directly used their shields to erect several circular shield walls to resist the cold arrows fired by the wolf cavalry.

After seeing the reaction of the tauren warriors, the wolf cavalry immediately changed their tactics.

They lit piles of bonfires outside the tauren camp, and then kept throwing torches dipped in oil into the camp.

Under the powerful running of the wargs, the wolf cavalry threw their torches high and far, and many tents in the camp were lit by the torches.

Although the tauren warriors quickly extinguished the flames with ice and snow, no one dared to block their ears and sleep in the tent at this time.

Because no one knows when the tent they are in will be ignited, and no one wants to taste the feeling of being burned by flames.

When the tauren warriors took out the cotton balls that blocked their ears, they were destined to have a sleepless night.

Because from nightfall to daybreak, the howling of wolves outside the camp never stopped.

Thousands of wargs howled at the camp together, and no one could sleep peacefully at that decibel level.

Sitting in the tent, listening to the howls of wolves outside, Lu Chenguang was extremely annoyed at this time.

He now regrets not bringing out the archers from Zhengzhou City.

Although those archers were a liability when traveling during the day, they could be used to defend the camp after night.

If there are a large number of archers in the camp at this time,

Then those wolf cavalry outside the camp would never dare to be so arrogant.

Under the deterrence of the long-range firepower of the archers, the wolf cavalry did not dare to get too close to the camp.

The wolf cavalry did not dare to approach the camp, so they would not be able to harass them by setting fire as they did now.

Without the threat of arson, the tauren warriors could plug their ears and go to sleep peacefully.

Unlike now, no one dares to fall asleep easily, fearing that the camp they are in will suffer some unreasonable disaster.

...

Lu Chenguang thought that the situation would become slightly better after dawn. After all, the wolf cavalry outside had been following them all day and night, and they had been struggling all day and night.

Although no one in the camp closed their eyes last night, at least they could sit there with their eyes closed and relax, unlike the wolf cavalry outside who were constantly tossing.

In a sense, they are just waiting for work.

However, when it was daylight and Lu Chenguang saw the energetic wolf cavalry outside the camp, he was confused for a while and then immediately turned pale with fright.

At this time, even after a night of little rest and his head was still a little mushy, Lu Chenguang knew that it was not the same wolf cavalry army that harassed them during the day and night.

After understanding the bad news, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan discussed it and immediately decided to march forward at all costs and must cover the remaining seventy kilometers in one go.

Because both of them knew very well that if the wolf cavalry of the Condor Army were allowed to drag on like this, the entire Minotaur Army would probably be completely destroyed because they could not get an effective rest.

Although most of the tauren warriors did not sleep last night, they are a race known for their endurance after all, and they cannot be defeated without resting for one night.

So, after having breakfast, the Minotaur Heavy Infantry Corps once again embarked on the journey to Xuchang.

This time, no matter how much the wolf cavalry harassed them with crossbows, the tauren warriors would not pay attention to them.

Before setting off, all the tauren warriors tied cotton cloth and splints to both sides of their heads to simply protect their heads.

As a result, although their sight will be greatly affected, the Wolf Cavalry's already limited crossbow arrows will not be able to damage their heads.

As for the other parts of the body that are exposed, it all depends on luck. Anyway, they have thick skin and thick flesh, so as long as they are not shot in the vitals, they will all be treated as if they were stung by a big mosquito.

The method Lu Chenguang came up with was very effective. Although many peripheral tauren warriors were hit by crossbow arrows, the skin trauma did not have much impact on the tauren warriors at all.

As a result, after ignoring the crossbow harassment of the wolf cavalry, the marching speed of the Tauren Legion immediately increased.

Seeing that if this continued, the enemy's tauren army would be completely out of his control, Wolf Wudi immediately sent a group of wolf cavalry to look for support.

When the time came to noon, when Lu Chenguang was riding a white horse and chatting with Shui Ruyan, a commotion suddenly came from the front of the tauren army.

"What's happening ahead?"

Seeing the advancing team suddenly stop, Lu Chenguang asked instinctively.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, a centaur army of unknown origin suddenly appeared in front of our army.

After the centaur army appeared, they immediately started throwing javelins at our army.

In desperation, our soldiers in the front could only arrange a shield array for defense. "

Just as everyone around Lu Chenguang had confused expressions, an elf warrior riding a war horse came back from the front and brought Lu Chenguang terrible news.

After listening to the elf warrior's report, Lu Chenguang's face immediately darkened.

What kind of centaur army of unknown origin? Isn't that the centaur army hidden by the Condor Army?

If the aboriginal elf warriors didn't know, how could he, Lu Chenguang, not know?

Facing the Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang could forcefully march forward regardless, but facing the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang did not have the courage.

Because the specialty of the Wolf Cavalry Corps is to use super mobility to carry out surprise attacks, harassment and pursuit.

They are not good at attacking fortifications at all, and they are even less good at going head-to-head with units like heavy infantry.

The Centaur Legion is different.

The Centaur Legion not only has super high mobility, but also has excellent armor-breaking capabilities. Javelins, axes and spears are their magic weapons for breaking armor.

The javelin directly turns the centaur into a semi-ranged unit.

Taking advantage of the speed of running forward, the javelin thrown by the centaur warrior is so powerful and heavy that it can easily penetrate some less strong shields and armors.

The spear allows centaur warriors to have the ability to rush into battle comparable to that of heavy cavalry.

Taking advantage of their huge weight and the inertia of charging forward at high speed, the Centaur Legion's ability to charge into battle is no worse than those of regular heavy cavalry.

After ordinary heavy cavalry rush into the enemy's position, they must rush out as soon as possible.

Because once they lose their speed, they will immediately fall into a tight siege, and they will easily be knocked off their horses by the enemy, and then be beaten to death in a group.

Centaur warriors are different.

They are strong and powerful, and are not afraid of any close combat.

After losing speed, they could quickly drop their lances, draw their tomahawks and continue fighting.

Facing the battle ax wielded by the centaur warrior, the armor of the heavy infantry did not provide much protection at all.

Because the huge power will be directly transmitted into the body through the armor, causing shock to the inner abdomen, or even directly shocking the person to death.

In a head-on battle, the Minotaur heavy infantry was not afraid of the Centaur warriors at all.

But now Lu Chenguang and the others are rushing to Xuchang, and the entire army is not in good condition.

Therefore, the appearance of the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire at this time was like a bolt from the blue to Lu Chenguang and the others, directly forcing them into a desperate situation.

"Order the army to stop advancing and deploy defenses in place."

Knowing that forcefully breaking in would definitely not work, Lu Chenguang immediately issued an order to defend in place.

After the messenger left, Lu Chenguang looked at Shui Ruyan aside, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"President Shui, now the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire is blocking our way.

Surrounded by these two enemy forces that are known for their mobility, it was impossible for us to safely cover the remaining 60 kilometers.

For now, we can only hope that Li Yufeng will send troops to help us relieve the siege.

If you want to send the message for help under the enemy's tight blockade, you can only dispatch the demon team under your command.

President Shui, we don’t have much time left, please give the order! "

Just as Lu Chenguang said, after they were blocked by the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire, if no one came to pick them up, they would never be able to complete the remaining 60 kilometers.

Because the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire can attack them anytime and anywhere.

Without a complete defensive formation, they would easily be dispersed by the Centaur legions, then divided and surrounded, and annihilated one by one.

The only one who can rescue them now is Li Yufeng, who has entered the plains of eastern Henan.

Only if Li Yufeng led his army over in time could they possibly escape.

However, the most critical question now is not whether Li Yufeng will come to rescue them, but how they pass the news to Li Yufeng.

Send a cavalry squad to break out on the ground?

Under the siege of the Wolf Cavalry and Centaur Legion, this possibility is basically zero.

Sending an owl messenger to deliver a message via an air channel?

Not to mention that they don't have many owl players here at all. Even if they do, it will be difficult to escape the aerial blockade of the Seraph warriors of the Condor Empire.

There is no way to go on the ground, and there is no way to go in the air, so the only way left is the demon player with the ability to change.

Only they could break through the land and air blockade of the Condor Army and send the message out.

All the demon players under Lu Chenguang have died long ago, and now only Shui Ruyan has a small team of demon players.

If these demon players are sent out to deliver messages, many of them will die on the way, and only a handful of lucky ones will survive.

Therefore, Lu Chenguang was embarrassed to directly order those demon players to deliver the message. He could only find a way to persuade Shui Ruyan to issue this order.

"Why!"

After sighing softly, Shui Ruyan immediately ordered to the players behind her: "Li Wei, get ready and transform into a breakout in one minute.

Remember, don’t all fly in the same direction, lest the enemy take the opportunity to catch them all. "

"Understood, President, I will inform the brothers right away."

Li Wei turned and left.

...

A minute later, dozens of sparrows suddenly flew out of the Minotaur Legion's camp.

After the sparrows took off, they immediately dispersed in all directions, in every direction.

After a group of sparrows suddenly flew out of Lu Chenguang's army, dozens of black spots suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

As the black spots grew larger and larger, people on the ground quickly recognized them as a group of eagles of unknown species.

The eagle is the ruler of the sky and the natural enemy of all birds.

At this time, so many eagles suddenly appeared in the sky, and I knew with my toes that they must be related to the Condor Empire.

Soon, the eagles were chasing the sparrows transformed by the demon players in the air.

As the distance between the two continued to get closer, the eagles of unknown species suddenly began to spit out thunder and lightning, and then the sparrows in front of them fell directly from the sky to the ground.

These eagles that spit out thunder and lightning are the thunder eagles domesticated by the Condor Empire.

Although the attack power of Thunder Eagles is very average and it is difficult to kill normal soldiers, it is extremely easy to use them to deal with some birds.

After demon players transform into sparrows, their bodies are as fragile as real sparrows.

So when they are hit by the thunder and lightning spitted out by the thunder eagle, they can basically be reincarnated.

Looking at the sparrows (monster players) who had just taken off and were killed in a blink of an eye, Shui Ruyan and Lu Chenguang didn't have any disappointment on their faces.

Because the group of sparrows just now were the bait they deliberately released in order to attract the attention of the Condor Army.

When all the attention of the Condor Army was attracted by the group of sparrows in the sky, a small snow-white mouse quietly slipped out from under the feet of the tauren warrior.

When the sparrow decoy was being chased by the Thunder Eagle, the little mouse successfully broke through the blockade of the Centaur Legion, and then turned into a white bird and flew straight into the mountain forest to the west.

Since the mice and birds incarnated by the demon player are all white, it would be difficult to catch him inadvertently if you don't know and pay attention in advance.

The people who were most likely to discover him were the Seraph scouts at high altitudes. After all, as long as he flew into the air, it would be difficult to escape their gaze.

But when the swarms of sparrow decoys take the initiative to attract attention, even the Seraph scouts will probably have a hard time finding his traces.

After the cover work was completed, Shui Ruyan and Lu Chenguang ordered to set up camp and wait.

They had no choice but to wait, and could only hope that the only escaped seed could find Li Yufeng safely and inform the other party of the news that they were trapped.

After discovering that the enemy had begun to camp and set up defenses on the spot, the Centaur Legion, which hurried over to intercept, immediately chose to leave.

They retreated to a place two kilometers away from the tauren camp and set up camp. It seemed that they did not want to let go of the tauren army in front of them easily.
