Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Joseph insisted that the Condor Empire had an ambush on the east side of the Turgai River, because if the Condor Empire really wanted to defend the Turgai River, then they should set up defenses on the east bank of the Turgai River instead of deploying a defense line On the west coast.

When the Turgai River surges, arranging the defense line on the east bank and using the tactic of half-crossing to attack can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

By arranging the defense line on the west bank, the Turgai River will not only not become the natural defense line of the Condor Empire, but will also become a natural danger that hinders their retreat.

As long as a person with a normal mind would never place the defense line on the west bank, and although Ning Yuan is often out of his mind, he does not seem to be someone who would make such low-level mistakes, so there must be a conspiracy.

This thought has been lingering in Joseph's mind since he learned about the Condor Empire's defense in the Turgai River Basin.

The more Joseph thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, so he did not pay special attention to the "bait" arranged by the Condor Empire on the west bank of the Turgai River. His thoughts had already drifted to the vast wilderness east of the Turgai River. Among them, trying to find the place where the Condor Empire is most likely to set up an ambush.

Joseph's view also deeply affected every general in the European Cavalry Group. They all believed that Joseph's ideas were very comprehensive, so almost no one doubted that they could not cross the river.

And what is Ning Yuan’s true thoughts?

He never thought of letting the 1.2 million cavalry group led by Joseph cross the Turgai River.

Although Ning Yuan believed that the troops deployed by the Condor Empire in the Zhezkazgan area were not afraid of Joseph's 1.2 million army.

But after all, this is an army of 1.2 million, and it is all cavalry.

If these cavalry were really released, it would be very troublesome for the Condor Empire army in the Zhezkazgan area to deal with these cavalry.

Therefore, Ning Yuan's real idea is to take advantage of the surge in the Turgai River to force the European Cavalry Army to several major ferries to launch a forced crossing, then defeat the enemy from the front, and finally use the Centaur army's mobility and The high endurance can completely eliminate these 1.2 million European cavalry.

To defeat the European Cavalry Army from the front, where did Ning Yuan's confidence come from?

The answer is the barbarian Mo Dao Legion led by Andrew.

The Mo Dao was a great weapon in the Ling Weapon Period, and was specially used to restrain the enemy's light cavalry.

In ancient times,

Mo Dao is known as the nemesis of the cavalry. Mo Dao's army marched in like a wall, and both men and horses were shattered.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army relied on the Modao Army Formation to kill the nomadic cavalry to a rout.

According to historical records, when the Tang army fought against the Great Eater for the first time, they only sent out two thousand heavy-armored Modao troops and killed the Great Eater's cavalry and fled.

Although in the subsequent pursuit, the main enemy was the Tang Army's 10,000-horse cavalry, it was the two thousand heavy-armored Modao Army that truly destroyed the great cannibal's spiritual will.

In this battle, the Tang army successfully killed 20,000 cavalrymen and captured more than 4,000 people at the cost of only more than 300 casualties.

Ning Yuan's arrangement on the Turgai River this time imitated the tactics used by the Tang army in fighting the cannibals. He wanted to use the barbarian heavy-armored Modao army to destroy the fighting will of the European cavalry, and then use the Centaur army to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them. In one fell swoop, all the 1.2 million cavalry brought by Joseph were wiped out.

When the Tang Army fought against the Great Eater, the soldiers on both sides were human beings. With excellent weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers, the Tang Army won a complete victory.

Today, the 1.2 million cavalry brought by Joseph are all composed of humans and elves. Although the elves are better in archery, they are not much ahead of humans in other aspects.

On the other hand, on the side of the Condor Empire, the heavily armored Modao Army was composed entirely of barbarian warriors, while the cavalry were natural cavalry - the centaurs.

Barbarians are oversized humans. They are closer to those powerful orc races in terms of height and weight. They have excellent wingspan and greater strength, and are very suitable for wielding sharp swords to chop down enemies.

The ordinary Mo Dao can already crush the light cavalry. The large Mo Dao specially made by Ning Yuan for the barbarian warriors will exert even greater power in the hands of the powerful barbarians.

Therefore, as long as the European cavalry loses its speed advantage after the charge, when the barbarian heavy-armored Mo Dao army moves forward in a neat formation, like a thick wall, all enemies standing in front of them will be defeated. The sharp Mo Dao in their hands was split into two halves.

No matter whether it is a person or a war horse, it is difficult to survive. After all, people and horses are not just talking about it casually.

When the European cavalry who took the initiative to attack were killed by the barbarians' heavily armored Mo Dao army, the Centaur army standing by would immediately become their next nightmare.

Except for the army of the same race, no cavalry in the wilderness is an opponent of the Centaur army, let alone a defeated army that has been frightened.

Facing the pursuit of the centaur army with extremely fast speed and super endurance, if you can't quickly escape to the city, or to some places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, then the final result will be to kneel down and surrender. Or become a corpse on the ground.

The shortest distance from the Turgai River to Karabutak is nearly 200 kilometers, and the distance from Karabutak to the Ural River is more than 600 kilometers.

This distance of more than 800 kilometers was definitely a road of death for the defeated European Cavalry Army.

Because they faced the constant pursuit of the centaur army whose speed and endurance were far superior to theirs, it was difficult for them to finish the more than 800 kilometers alive.

Although the coalition of European players led by Joseph had built some defensive castles along the road to serve as transit stations, these castles could not hold much cavalry at all.

Therefore, if they want to survive, they must keep running westward until there are no more pursuers behind them.

However, under the high-altitude vision of the Seraph Scouts of the Condor Empire, unless the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire took the initiative to stop, the fleeing European cavalry would have nowhere to go in the vast land of the Kazakh Khanate. hide.

Although at night, the high-altitude vision of the Seraph scouts is useless, the barbarian heavy-armored Mo Dao army is not only followed by the centaur army, but also a 50,000-strong wolf army on the east bank of the Turgai River. Cavalry Regiment.

In Ning Yuan's vision, once the European Cavalry Army led by Joseph was defeated, Ma Qianzhang's Centaur Army would be responsible for the pursuit during the day, and the Wolf Cavalry Army led by Lang Qingyun would be responsible for the night pursuit.

During the day, when Ma Qianzhang led the Centaur Legion to pursue the enemy, there would definitely be a large number of horse corpses left along the road.

At this time, Wolf Qingyun will lead the wolf cavalry legion to follow up at a constant speed from the rear, while letting the wargs eat the corpses of the war horses.

When night comes, Wolf Qingyun will immediately take over Ma Qianzhang's squad and use the warg's keen sense of smell to hunt down the European cavalry in the wilderness.

It is impossible for an excellent war horse to run continuously for a whole day. After running at full strength for several hours, the war horse must stop to eat and rest.

After nightfall, not only the war horses, but also the European knights who had been on the run for a day had to stop to eat and rest.

During this period of time when the enemy was resting, with the appearance of the Condor Empire Wolf Cavalry Corps, the defeated European cavalry, both men and horses, could not even think of taking a good rest.

Even if the Wolf Cavalry Legion led by Lang Qingyun cannot achieve much success at night, they can make the enemy and the horses they rely on become more exhausted through constant harassment throughout the night.

This kind of harassment that will last all night does not need to be used a second time. It only needs to be used once, and most of the fleeing European cavalry will collapse immediately.

Because they couldn't outrun the centaur warriors who were constantly chasing behind them. Now those centaur warriors had a night's rest, but they were harassed all night long.

Under the circumstances, it became even more difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the Centaur army as they were depleted of men and horses.

Therefore, Ning Yuan expected that on the second day of the Thousand-mile Chase, the European Cavalry Army, which was dominated by aboriginal knights, would surrender in large numbers.

Surrender is a contagious thing, especially in the midst of a great rout.

By then, as long as the centaur armies under Ma Qianzhang and the centaur armies that cut off the enemy's retreat from the north and south directions can tightly entangle the enemy, then in extreme despair, this 1.2 million European army will The cavalry will be wiped out in one day.

This is the life path that Ning Yuan has designed for the 1.2 million cavalry led by Joseph. As long as there are no major mistakes, Joseph and the 1.2 million European cavalry under his command will defeat the entire army within four days. destruction.

...

Ning Yuan didn't know what Joseph was thinking, and he also didn't know what Ning Yuan was thinking about Joseph.

So Joseph, who thought he could easily cross the river, quickly led 400,000 cavalry to the Turgai area where Andrew was stationed.

Except for the capital city of Nur-Sultan, there are no decent cities anywhere else in the Kazakh Khanate, and Turgai County, located on the west bank of the Turgai River, is no exception.

Turgai County originally had a two-meter-high adobe wall, but with the first invasion of the Condor Empire, the original adobe wall had long since collapsed.

After leading the barbarian heavy-armored Modao Army to Turgai County, in order to facilitate the enemy's cavalry charge, and also to facilitate the formation advancement of his own Modao Army, Andrew not only did not let anyone repair the damaged areas around Turgai County. Instead, all the remaining soil walls were demolished.

When Joseph led the cavalry to Turgai County, what they saw was Turgai County without any defensive facilities.

After seeing the undefended Turgai County in front of him, Joseph became more determined in his previous idea.

Although the barbarian heavy-armored Mo Dao army stationed in Turgai County had already formed in front of the county, Joseph still believed that these barbarian troops were just a bait deliberately thrown out by Ning Yuan.

As long as you send out your troops to launch a few attacks, the enemy will pretend to be defeated and then retreat to the east bank.

Even though the barbarian warriors in front were wearing full sets of mithril light armor and holding huge tower shields in their hands, Joseph still firmly believed in this point of view.

...

"Falkland, you lead five thousand elven horse archers to test the strength of the enemy's formation."

Joseph, who always believed that the Condor Empire troops in front were bait, directly sent five thousand elven horse archers to conduct a preliminary test.

As Joseph's order was passed on, Falkland soon led five thousand elven horse archers to accelerate toward the barbarian's heavily armored Modao army.

Seeing that the enemy only sent five thousand elven horse archers, Andrew, who was standing on the roof, suddenly smiled contemptuously.

The enemy looked down upon them too much. Knowing that they were a heavy infantry force, they actually sent elven horse archers to attack. The enemy's general was either unscrupulous or too rigid.

Because without close combat, the enemy elf cavalry would not even be qualified to scratch the itch of the barbarian heavy-armored Modao army.

Sure enough, after wasting several waves of arrows, Falkland, who led the elven horse archers to fight, retreated in despair.

Seeing that the elf horse archers' test had no effect, Joseph was not disappointed at all, because this was all within his expectation.

After carefully observing the reactions of the barbarian warriors holding tower shields in front of him, Joseph knew that he had to engage in close combat, otherwise he would not be able to break through the enemy's defense line.

If our own side cannot even tear through the enemy's defense line, then even if the enemy wants to pretend to be defeated, they may not be able to retreat, because if they pretend to be too fake, their true intentions will be easily exposed.

Therefore, if they want the barbarian army serving as bait to retreat normally, they must put a certain amount of pressure on the enemy.

Thinking of this, Joseph immediately ordered: "Send my military order and immediately order Daniel to lead 50,000 cavalry to dismount and raise their shields to attack the enemy's defense line from the front.

Tell Daniel that the troops attacking this time should not carry swords and other weapons, and that all of them should bring maces to me. "

After seeing that bows and arrows had no way to defeat the heavily armored barbarian army on the opposite side, Joseph knew that he must use armor-piercing weapons in close combat, otherwise it would be difficult to cause harm to the barbarians wearing silver full-body armor.

As Joseph's order was passed on, soon, a group of 50,000 dismounted cavalry lined up in neat formation and slowly marched towards the barbarian army in front of Turgai County.

"Don't waste the javelin, just let the enemy come over."

After seeing Joseph suddenly sending out a dense mass of dismounted cavalry approaching from the front, Andrew immediately asked the barbarian warriors holding javelins to put away their javelins.

Joseph's move was exactly what he wanted. As long as the enemy was close, he and his barbarian heavy-armored Mo Dao army could show their sharp fangs.
