Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

The battle lasted from morning to evening, from the prairie to the Horqin sandy land.

There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, human corpses, elf corpses, orc corpses, warhorse corpses, and warg corpses scattered all over the place in a mess.

These corpses covered the prairie densely, and the blood that flowed out dyed the prairie and sand bright red.

Relying on the assault of the 3,000 dwarf bear knights, the Condor army successfully broke through the formation of the orc army, and then used the front and rear flanking tactics to defeat the orc quick-reaction army in one fell swoop.

Of the more than 200,000 orc army, except for the owl warriors who escaped less than 60,000, all other troops were wiped out.

Although the Condor Army successfully smashed the conspiracy of the Eagle Hoof Empire, the cavalry corps participating in the war also paid a big price.

More than 9,000 of the 100,000 light cavalry were killed, 15,000 were seriously injured, and more than 2,000 of the elf cavalry were killed.

Most of the seriously injured human light cavalry were injured by the owl warriors who got off their horses. They were lucky and were not trampled by their own follow-up cavalry.

The dwarf knights of the Dwarf Bear Knights did not suffer any casualties. The reason for this situation was entirely because the bear mounts under their crotch were too fierce.

Facing the berserk earth brown bears and polar ice bears, the werewolves instinctively chose to avoid them after being defeated. They would rather face the knight spears of the human cavalry than face these behemoths.

In order to ensure that they would not be thrown off by the giant bear during the battle, the dwarf knights used ropes to fix themselves on the saddle in advance, and they were wearing heavy armor, so as long as their crotch If the giant bear is still alive, they have a high chance of surviving.

After cleaning the battlefield and repairing it overnight, Bai Yutang left 20,000 light cavalry and 20,000 elf cavalry to take care of the wounded. Go north.

 …

When Bai Yutang led the army to fight the orc army, Ning Yuan led the army to the edge of the Horqin Sands.

At the last supply station, we met the elf cavalry who were carrying out the sweeping mission. After a day of repairing in situ, Ning Yuan entered the Horqin Sands with 500,000 cavalry in a mighty manner.

Facing the Condor Army coming from afar, Li Tianqi and others had already formed a formation, waiting for work at leisure.

They occupied a high ground on the sand, and the 700,000 army was mighty, like a giant dragon, stretching for tens of kilometers.

Seeing that the enemy had occupied the high ground and was condescending, Ning Yuan signaled the army to stop and start forming an array, and then handed over the command to James.

Seeing the Condor Army stopped a few kilometers away, Li Tianqi and others did not choose to strike first, but waited for the Condor Army to take the initiative to attack.

They want to take advantage of the terrain and give the Condor Army a blow.

Although the sand dunes are not very high and the slope is very gentle, it is still very disadvantageous for the cavalry to charge from the bottom of the slope to the top.

Seeing that the enemy stood still and wanted to wait for his own side to take the initiative to attack, James immediately began to dispatch troops.

"The heavy cavalry will carry out the main attack according to plan B,

Elven horse archers are responsible for covering the wings. "

Following James' order, Ning Yuan led 20,000 heavy cavalry slowly towards the enemy.

Seeing the heavy cavalry walking on horseback, Li Tianqi and the others immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Isn't the heavy cavalry relying on speed? Who can tell me the impact of this walking speed? Why can't I understand it?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of such a use of heavy cavalry, but isn't this good? At least you don't have to worry about being pierced by heavy cavalry."

"Yeah, anyway, we are occupying Gaopo now, so we can adapt to all changes without change. If you can't figure it out, let's take a look first and see what they want to do."

 …

Just when everyone in the Tianfeng Alliance was confused, 20,000 heavy cavalry had already walked two kilometers away from them.

"Dismount, hold the lance, and line up."

Following Ning Yuan's order, the 10,000 heavy cavalry in front immediately descended to the ground, and they quickly formed a huge square formation holding four-meter-long weapons.

This four-meter-long spear-like weapon is called a lance or a horse lance.

The horse lance was a famous aristocratic weapon in the cold weapon era, because its manufacturing process was very complicated, and a qualified horse lance would take three or four years to make, so it could not be bought with money.

After Ning Yuan got Ma Chan's manufacturing blueprint, he immediately handed it over to his craftsmen.

After more than five years, the craftsmen of the craftsman group finally produced 10,000 qualified horses.

Don't look at the number of 10,000 as a lot, but if you know the success rate, you can know how difficult this weapon is to make.

The craftsmen of the Condor Empire built a total of 40,000 horses, but 30,000 of them failed, and the success rate was only a poor 25%. This shows how difficult this weapon is. made.

The application of the horse lance was most popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because its lance was soft and flexible, and relatively light in weight. A long lance of two feet was about the same weight as a seven or eight foot carbine, so knights could charge with one hand.

The elasticity of the lance also ensures that the lance can bend after hitting the target, so as to release the impact generated by the high-speed impact without hurting the knight's wrist. Therefore, this long, flexible and light lance is It is simply a sharp weapon for riding and fighting.

Of course, Ma Chan can also exert great power in foot battles.

There is an old saying that a spear that is eight feet long is a lance, and a horse lance can also be used as a spear in foot combat.

Because the heavy infantry moved slowly, Ning Yuan did not take them on this expedition.

However, considering the restraint effect of heavy cavalry on light cavalry in frontal combat, Ning Yuan, James and others developed a tactic for dismounting heavy cavalry to temporarily serve as heavy infantry.

Although the charge of heavy cavalry is powerful, if the enemy sets some traps for the unprotected legs of the horse, they will easily be caught.

The heavy infantry is different, they are invulnerable, and the light cavalry has nothing to do with them except flying kites.

Now that the enemy is occupying the high ground, the Condor Army will suffer a great loss if they charge from the bottom up, so James will let Ning Yuan implement Plan B, using the heavy cavalry who are guest heavy infantry to capture the high ground.

Facing the four-meter-long Macha jungle, if the enemy didn't want to sit still, they could only take the initiative to attack.
