Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Chapter 1306, Winter Song (95)

The cavalry is one of the strongest arms on the field battlefield in the cold weapon era.

Whether a country is strong or not depends not only on its territorial area and the size of its army, but also on whether it has a strong cavalry regiment.

Of course, the cavalry are not perfect without any weaknesses. Speed ​​is their greatest advantage, and it is also their fatal flaw.

Cavalry with speed are almost invincible. Even if they face an iron wall, they can still be invincible, because they can come and leave when they want, and the enemy cannot keep them at all.

If a cavalry suddenly loses speed, they will be at their most vulnerable next. 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 they do not include centaurs, a special cavalry race.

The centaurs are natural cavalry. They perfectly combine speed and strength into one. They are best at running long distances, attacking from a distance, and charging. They are the most perfect cavalry unit.

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

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

When using long-range attacks to continuously eat away at the enemy's vitality, they will immediately transform into the best horse archers.

When they engage in hand-to-hand combat with their enemies, their strong bodies will make them powerful orc warriors that will frighten their enemies.

Yes, although the centaurs are independent of the orcs, in terms of physical structure, they should actually be regarded as a special race among the orcs.

So the Centaurs are so powerful, do they really have no weaknesses?

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

The biggest weakness of the centaurs is that they are afraid of falling into small spaces.

Because centaurs are extremely tall, every movement they make requires a certain amount of space.

If they are blocked in a relatively small space, their physical and speed advantages will not be able to be used.

The reason why Ning Yuan was able to defeat the powerful Centaurs on the Mongolian Plateau was because he made full use of the advantages of the terrain.

If he hadn't designed to lead the Centaur legion into the long and narrow valley, and then used the orc heavy infantry to make dumplings of the Centaur legion, it would have been difficult for him to defeat the proud people of the grassland - the Centaur clan on the vast Mongolian plateau. of.

After successfully conquering the centaur clan, Ning Yuan gave the son of the grassland the greatest care.

The Centaur clan did not disappoint Ning Yuan. After the Condor 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, it would Being mercilessly trampled under their feet by their iron hooves.

This time, the reason why Ning Yuan dared to fight with a small number and attempted to preserve all three colorful bridges at once was because the 300,000 centaur warriors were his biggest support for this operation.

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

In Ning Yuan's view, as long as it is not a siege, even if the Northern Expeditionary Alliance has a million troops in each theater, they will not be an opponent of a hundred thousand centaur army.

Because it is impossible for a million-strong army to deploy all at once, and facing the charge of the Centaur Legion, as long as the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces in front are defeated, then it will definitely turn into a big rout immediately.

And the reality was just as Ning Yuan expected.

After the Mermaid Legion relied on sneak attacks to successfully capture the defense fortifications on the north and south sides of the Colorful Bridge, relying on the numerical advantage of the army,

The Northern Expeditionary Alliance still has the strength to fight.

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

After the Centaur Legion rushed to the Colorful 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 secure their defense.

They used only one charge to defeat the Northern Expedition forces surrounding the fortifications on the north bank, and what followed was a one-sided massacre.

As the Northern Expeditionary Alliance forces on the north bank were cleared, the mermaid army responsible for defending there was immediately liberated.

When these liberated mermaid troops jumped into the Yangtze River one after another, and then suddenly came out from the south bank, the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces on the south bank were immediately killed and retreated.

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

While the attention of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was attracted by the Mermaid Legion on the south bank, the Centaur Legion on the north bank suddenly moved upstream along the river bank.

After they ran more than 20 kilometers upstream along the river bank, huge mana warships appeared in front of them.

As the magic battleship began to dock, centaur warriors began to board the ship.

Twenty minutes later, the magic warship loaded with Centaur troops slowly sailed towards the south bank of the Yangtze River.

After confirming that there was no ambush from the Northern Expeditionary Alliance on the south bank, the warships began to dock one after another.

As the warship docked at the shore, the southern bank of the Yangtze River was soon crowded with centaur warriors.

If the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces failed to prepare for the sneak attack of the Mermaid Legion, which was a major oversight, then it was definitely a fatal mistake for them to allow the Centaur Legion to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River so easily.

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

The location where the Centaur Legion landed is only a dozen kilometers away from the Northern Expeditionary Alliance camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River. For Centaur warriors who are good at running, it only takes a few minutes.

When the low sound of horse hooves reached the ears of the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces, it was already too late.

The centaur warriors wearing heavy armor and holding spears rushed in effortlessly towards the camp in front of them that was not even connected to the horses.

Facing the powerful impact of the centaur heavy cavalry, no one could directly attack them, and all those who dared to stand in front of them were knocked away.

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

During the charge, 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 quickly decrease until they come to a complete stop.

Although the centaur warriors are the most outstanding cavalry on the surface, they still cannot escape this iron law.

After going some distance deep 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 can easily be overwhelmed by the swarming enemies.

However, the centaur warriors had no such concerns.

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

After switching to more convenient melee weapons, the centaur warriors fought with the same openness and bravery as those powerful orcs with violent bloodline.

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

In the past, many players had ridiculed others for being kicked in the head by a donkey. Today, they finally experienced the feeling of being kicked by a horse.

After just a moment of exposure, they immediately felt dizzy and then completely lost consciousness.

Facing the centaur warriors who turned on the violent mode, it was difficult for players to get close to them.

Approaching from the front, they will be directly hit by whizzing battle axes and maces until they vomit blood. No one can withstand any attack from the centaur warriors.

Approaching from both sides, the centaur warriors only need to wave their weapons to the side, and they will be directly thrown away.

Approaching from behind, they will encounter being kicked by a horse, 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 long-handled weapons, and then a large group of players holding spears rushed forward.

As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. When you can't get close to the centaur warrior, stabbing with a spear is indeed a very good choice.

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

Each centaur warrior's upper body is covered with solid 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. .

Facing the swarming spears, the centaur warriors did not need to dodge at all, because those spears could not penetrate their armor at all.

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

Unfortunately, compared to its tall body, the centaur warrior's four-legged target is very small, making it difficult for players to hit it accurately at the moment.

And even if some lucky players successfully stab the horse's leg with a spear, they will not be able to cause much damage to the centaur warriors, because their leg bones are too hard, and the sharp spears will only bring them Some skin trauma.

In short, the players have tried all kinds of methods in a short period of time, but they are still unable to deal with those 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 ruthlessly slaughter them.

Facing the unstoppable Centaur heavy cavalry, the human sea tactics that the players are best at at this moment cannot be used at all, because the Centaur heavy cavalry is not alone, and there are a large number of lightly armored troops behind them. Centaur warrior.

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

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

Ever since, as the Centaur heavy cavalry continued to advance, the players were eventually defeated.

The most feared thing in a battle between two armies is that a certain army is suddenly defeated, no matter how many troops under its command.

Because in many specific circumstances, the defeated army will instinctively flee backwards and then impact the friendly positions behind it.

Many times, when faced with troops retreating from the front, excellent commanders will decisively issue kill orders and shoot those soldiers who may attack their own positions on the spot to avoid unnecessary impact on their positions. .

As the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan area, Long Yifan certainly had this kind of courage, but unfortunately, it was dark at this time, and the battlefield was still in the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces. The two armies were tightly entangled. Long Yifan was not given any time to adjust at all.

So before Long Yifan could fully react, a large number of player troops were already surrounded by broken troops and ran away involuntarily.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Long Yifan was helpless.

He shouted until his voice became hoarse, but still no player was willing to obey his order and stop immediately.

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

Let alone stop at this time, even if you run a little slower, your life will be in danger.

Although players are not afraid of death, no one wants to die in such a useless way, and many players are very reluctant to let go of their current bodies.

Because it is not easy for them to cultivate to their current strength, especially those players from Huaguoshan. If they are killed, the somersault clouds they carry will immediately become ownerless.

In order to join Huaguoshan, they had worked hard before.

In order to get Somersault Cloud, they paid a lot.

How could they be willing to lose everything?

Therefore, many players immediately had the idea of ​​​​protecting themselves after seeing that the situation was not good, and then immediately put it into action.

Everyone is selfish, and everyone else has run away, so why should I be so stupid that I try my best here?

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

At this time, they had no time to consider whether they could escape. Anyway, they would escape first.

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

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

But it is a pity that the Centaur Legion was just the first army to rush to the battlefield. When they crossed the river to fight, a 50,000-strong wolf cavalry had also arrived on the bank of the Yangtze River. By this time, they had all arrived at the Yangtze River. south bank.

In addition to the Wolf Cavalry Legion, a 100,000-strong Owl Legion had already flown to the south of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance. At this time, they were blocking the only way for the Northern Expeditionary Alliance to escape.
