Summoning Total War

In "Rome Total War", the scythe chariot has a title - [Infantry Reaper]!

………………

----------------------------------

The scythe chariot, known as the infantry killer, is a double-edged sword. It has two very deceiving characteristics!

First!

That is, it has a very terrifying harvesting ability. Faced with a collective charge of scythe chariots, as long as non-heavy infantry comes into contact, it will immediately fall to pieces. Even well-equipped heavy infantry will be killed or injured if they are hit by a scythe chariot! This terrifying harvesting ability not only affects the enemy, but may even affect one's own people! Facing the charging scythe chariot, the best way is to hide as far away as possible!

Because it also has a second characteristic!

——Go crazy!

The scythe chariot is known as the first berserk unit in "Rome Total War", and its madness ability is simply not comparable to that of the war elephant!

If the madness of war elephants is only a tragedy, then the madness of chariots with scythes is a tragedy!

You will see the crazy scythe chariots running rampant in the military formation, and then the infantry in the formation will fall down in large pieces like cutting wheat! If the scythe chariot goes crazy after entering the enemy's position, congratulations, you have won half of the war. Because the crazy scythe chariot will help you harvest a large number of enemies! But if the scythe chariot is going crazy in your own military formation, then congratulations to you, you have won the prize!

The scythe chariot is not the most terrifying.

The crazy and out-of-control scythe chariot is the real killing machine!

………………

Without the rider to control them, the galloping horses began to lose control. They pulled chariots covered with scythe blades and ran rampant in the orc army formation! These war horses, which had been fed drugs by Murphy in advance, entered an even more frenzied state. Unless you kill them all! Otherwise, there is no way they would stop! The war horse entering a frenzied state will pull the chariot full of blades to collide, tear, and crush all creatures around it!

Lesson 3 of "Goblin Alchemy", Chapter 8 of "Alchemy and Pharmacy", Potion of Madness.

These war horses were injected with a diluted frenzy potion a few minutes before the battle began. During the charge, the blood flow caused the potion to spread throughout their bodies in just a few minutes. At that time, they will turn into crazy beasts, pulling chariots and rampaging through the enemy lines until they die.

Almost from the moment the potion took effect, the formation of the left-wing orcs was shattered in an instant!

Immediately afterwards, countless orc warriors who fell behind were hit by chariots, torn apart by blades, and crushed by wheels! What would happen if a body of flesh and blood faced a chariot running at high speed and full of blades? The sickle chariot is known as the number one in breaking formations, and its lethality is even higher than that of war elephants! Facing the rushing tanks, even the soldiers had the courage to face it and stick to the defense line.

But what will be the result?

Two war horses dragged the chariot and surged forward with great kinetic energy and inertia. The war horse weighing nearly half a ton collided with the soldiers at the front, killing the soldiers in the first and second rows on the spot. It is the chariot itself with great inertia. Even a simple suicidal charge of a scythe chariot can easily tear through the enemy's first three lines of defense!

As for those soldiers who were hit by the scythe chariot in the front and struck by the scythe blade, there were probably not many who could survive.

The chariot was destroyed and a piece of the defensive line was cleared.

But if the soldiers do not have the courage to confront the scythe chariot head-on, the result will be that the scythe chariot rushes into the enemy's formation and uses the densely packed cold-gleaming blades on the chariot to easily strangle nearby soldiers!

It was a disaster then!

………………

----------------------------------

After the horn sounded, Murphy's eyes never turned to the battlefield on the right wing.

Because he didn't dare.

Those soldiers driving scythe chariots are warriors and the pride of Athens! It is precisely because of the existence of these warriors! Murphy is talented and has the courage and confidence to defeat the half-orc army head-on! These warriors already had the belief that they would die before fighting! Because from the moment they waved the riding whip without hesitation, it was already destined that they would have no chance of surviving...

Making the sickle chariot go crazy can cause terrible damage!

It can even defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and completely destroy the orcs' offensive! But there is a fatal flaw in this, that is, if the orcs really fight to the death, then the crazy scythe chariots are likely to affect the Greek hoplite phalanx in Athens.

At that time, Murphy will reap the consequences!

There is no absolute certainty on the battlefield. Sometimes you have to compete with God for luck!

Luck was ultimately on Murphy's side.

Although those elite orcs were extremely brave, they ultimately did not have the courage to confront the galloping chariot legion.

As soon as they retreated, their backs were exposed to the chariot army.

What followed was a bloody killing and a suicidal charge!

The half-animal army that broke through Athens' right wing quickly retreated, so that they were out of the fighting range of the Athenian infantry phalanx.

That's exactly what Murphy needed.

It is also the most important part of his gambling luck.

Because only after the chariot army drives the enemy away from the Athenian fighting range, the frantic scythe chariot army will not affect the Athenian phalanx. Otherwise, even if just a frantic scythe chariot rushes into the Greek hoplite phalanx, it would be a very heavy loss for Murphy! Because the dense formation will pay huge casualties when blocking the tank!

"Lady Luck still favors me."

Murphy looked at the main formation of the half-orc army, and he saw the majestic figure wearing black iron armor from a distance.

That was the chief of the orcs.

As soon as the Orcs' right-wing front collapsed, the entire elongated front began to be dismembered. The offensive, which was fierce at the beginning, gradually collapsed and disintegrated. Except for the Orc heavy infantry in the center, which could barely hold on due to its sophisticated equipment, the Orcs on the two wings also began to disintegrate. The orc warriors had already collapsed due to low morale, and were harvested one by one by the Athenian soldiers who had caught up! After a rest of more than ten minutes, the Athenian long archers showed off their power again. They covered the fleeing enemies with a dense rain of arrows. The half-beast army that suddenly collapsed and collapsed suffered considerable casualties!

The army was defeated like a mountain!

The power of the scythe chariot not only directly defeated the right wing of the Orcs, but also made other Orc soldiers fearful.

………………

The main formation of the half-beast *** army.

Grom-Frostwolf looked ashen and said nothing.

He never thought that things would suddenly change to such an extent! Athens, a mere area of ​​less than 3,000 square kilometers, was actually able to arm more than 300 sickle chariots, forming a terrifying battlefield legion! This kind of strength may not be possessed by even a noble prince in a human city-state!

Although the chariot has poor maneuverability, its lethality is amazing!

Moreover, recruiting chariots is very expensive. The financial and material resources required for one chariot are even equivalent to three to four heavy cavalry! The reason why it is so valuable is because the horses required to pull the chariot are very demanding. Using ordinary horses to pull a chariot is a joke. The minimum requirement for horses pulling a chariot is a good war horse, and there must be two or more!

The requirements for the war horses that the Sickle Chariot needs to be equipped with are even higher, because only a strong impact can bring out the terrifying lethality of the Sickle Chariot.

Three hundred and sixty chariots are equivalent to 720 first-class war horses!

These war horses are enough to arm a medium-sized heavy cavalry regiment. Even with the financial resources of the entire human city-state, it may not be able to gather so many high-level war horses!

Although chariots would fade away over the course of history, they would be replaced by more flexible cavalry units.

But in this primitive era, in this era where many races rely on infantry as their central force, the lethality of tanks is still amazing!

If it weren't for his connection with the Centaur clan, he might have sold Murphy.

You can't get back so many high-level war horses!

………………

----------------------------------

Big deal!

What a grand gesture!

Grom-Frostwolf couldn't help but feel a little exclamation in his heart. The value of an excellent war horse like this is definitely more than 1,200 silver coins, and it is the kind that has a price but no market. Seven hundred and twenty high-grade war horses are equivalent to nearly 90,000 silver coins. The value of these war horses alone is enough to arm an infantry regiment!

This chariot army, with a total value of more than 100,000 silver coins, was consumed in the battle at once.

Grom-Frostwolf had to admit that he not only underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Athenian army, but also underestimated their material and financial resources.

It really can't understand how a small territory on the front line of humanity can have such amazing strength?

Lady Elizabeth and her nobles owned nearly 5,000 square kilometers of land, but they could only maintain a cavalry team of less than 500 to 600 people. This is also supported by the wealth accumulated by the family for generations. The human city-states fought against the Jackals and recruited nearly 200,000 troops. As long as they had horses, even if they were cavalry, the total number was less than 4,000.

But now, a small Athens can actually arm a chariot army of this size.

This is really unimaginable for Grom-Frostwolf!

The Orcs' battle line has begun to collapse. After the casualties exceeded the tolerable range, the morale of the Orcs warriors was very low and they might collapse at any time.

Nearly more than an hour has passed.

Both the Athenian soldiers and the Orc warriors were very tired.

But the Greek hoplites with high morale clearly had the advantage, because they already felt that victory was in sight!

The enemy has begun to disperse.

As the battle progresses, more than 10,000 orcs have been killed, and countless others have been injured. Under the impact of the scythe chariot, most of the thousands of orc elites on the right wing were almost instantly wiped out. The losses in Athens also increased to more than 4,000 people!

Although the casualties of the Greek heavy infantry were not large, more than half of the militia units on the left and right were directly lost.

If it weren't for the blessing of faith, more than 50% of the casualties would have been lost in the cold weapon era. The fighting will of the soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

………………

Such heavy casualties were far beyond what Grom-Frostwolf could bear.

If the fighting continues like this, even if Athens is captured, the losses will be enough to shake the foundation of the ethnic group. Because the orcs not only have to face the coalition forces of the human city-states, but also complete the task assigned by the orc empire to prevent the mammoths from advancing westward! Moreover, it has always noticed that behind the enemy commander, there are still six infantry phalanxes that have not been put into battle yet!

The other party has a back-up plan!

But Grom-Frostwolf immediately realized that not long after he ascended the throne of chief, if he entered the first stop of humanity, he would suffer such a defeat.

I'm afraid that I...

No!

Can't!

Even if it is a miserable victory, we must continue to fight!

As long as you win, you can continue to keep your position. Because everyone knows that the enemy is far stronger than imagined!

As long as we can win, no matter how big the loss is.

This reason is enough.

finally!

Grom-Frostwolf seemed to have made up his mind. He took heavy steps and came to an extremely old half-orc in the middle army. He slowly knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Great Shaman." ! The enemy is very powerful! I need your power!"

With a face full of wrinkles, the old orc slowly opened his eyes.

It nodded slightly, and then walked out of the tent with the help of the shaman. Immediately afterwards, the two hundred and seventy-four shamans in the main formation of the half-beast *** army began to move!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The dull sound of war drums echoed on the battlefield.

The ancient sacrificial songs of the shamans, which conveyed the desolation of the loess slopes, also echoed in this bloody land.

That power that goes straight to the soul.

The demoralized Orc warriors suddenly became brave.

And those half-orc warriors who had been defeated seemed to have regained their courage and roared back to the battlefield again!

They seem to think of loess high slopes.

Their hometown, that desolate land.

The hungry faces of children appeared in their minds. No matter how hard they farmed, they could not harvest enough food to satisfy their hunger! They recalled those cold and hungry winters, those tribesmen who fell down in the cold winter and never woke up again!

blood.

Broken limbs!

Because of their bloodshot and red eyes, in this sacrificial song that conveys the desolation of the loess slopes, countless orc warriors who lost their courage moved forward bravely!

There is no such thing as justice!

It's all about staying alive! For a better life!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Amid the trembling of the earth, a wide avenue suddenly opened in the orc camp.

As the exciting drum beat sounded, a giant war beast that was six meters tall, five meters long, three meters wide, and weighed more than fifteen tons appeared on the battlefield!

——Mokodo War Beast!

One of the branches of the Earth Dragon subspecies, it looks like a mutated giant rhinoceros. It is the largest among the Earth Dragon subspecies.

It has a more widely known name.

——Thunder Lizard!

One head, two heads, three heads, four heads...

Six huge Mokodo war beasts appeared on the battlefield, and with their appearance, the orc army let out a thunderous cheer!

The previous low morale was gone!

As the dull horn sounded, the main formation of the Half-Beast Army also began to move.

The elite heavy infantry staying at the side of the Orc chief followed closely behind the Mokodo war beast, while the wolf cavalry troops and Orc berserkers on both wings also roared and charged!

Orc shamans entered the battlefield for the first time.

They were sitting on the huge Mokodo war beast, beating the thick cowhide drum crazily as if they had taken half a pound of ecstasy pills!

Invisible forces spread around them.

A huge power enveloped the entire battlefield like a mountain!

Depressed.

The Athenian soldiers couldn't help but hold the spears in their hands tightly. They panted rapidly and looked at the behemoths with fear in their eyes. But soon this fear was replaced by a wave of determination!

They stood side by side, relying on each other, silent, and waiting!

They are also fighting to protect their homeland!

They also have no way out!

In the frenzied and passionate drums of the half-orc shaman.

General attack!

start!

………………

---------------------------------------

As the huge war beast appeared, Murphy's pupils suddenly shrank!

He clenched his hands into fists and unconsciously crushed the flag in his hands!

Until this moment!

Only then did he realize that he had really underestimated the strength of the orcs, just like their chief had underestimated the strength of Athens.

But soon.

He laughed again, not only laughed, but laughed!

this moment!

A heroic feeling surged from Murphy's heart, making him laugh loudly!

………………

All right.

Now that's the case.

Then let's have a good fight!

Even if it is real failure, real death! this moment! Let us fight to the end!

………………

Sonorous!

Murphy pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and jumped down from the general platform, and following his footsteps, the general's bodyguards followed without hesitation.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

He personally beat the huge war drum of the Chinese army. Different from the excitement of the orc shaman, amidst the dull sound of the war drums of Athens, a burst of mammoth neighing suddenly sounded from the rear of the Greek phalanx!
