CHAPTER 231, HEAVY RIDING BING RUSHED INTO BATTLE
Seeing that the enemy had launched a full charge, everyone in the Divine King Hall immediately took their positions and began to mobilize their troops non-stop.
"Order the light cavalry on both flanks to immediately go around behind the enemy, give priority to destroying those lightly armored infantry legions, and then outflank the enemy's retreat."
"Order all remaining hoplite regiments to immediately stab the jungle formation in front of the conning tower to resist the onslaught of the enemy's heavy cavalry."
"Order all the light infantry to press, and when the needle-piercing jungle array stops the enemy, immediately surround it, and be sure to eat all the enemies who rush towards me."
Seeing that Ning Yuan was starting to play with his life, Chang Yuan and the others did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized all the troops, and they decided to take this opportunity to completely take Ning Yuan.
With the deafening sound of horses' hooves, the two infantry groups that were still fighting on the front line immediately instinctively flashed to the sides.
Before Ning Yuan's cavalry group army could run, they had already flashed a hole several hundred meters long.
Because there were still his own soldiers on the front line, Ning Yuan did not attack those enemy infantry, but directly led the cavalry group through the opening.
After passing through the front line of the fierce infantry battle, Ning Yuan began to slowly estimate the distance, and when there were still more than a hundred meters left from the enemy's defense line, he began to order the heavy cavalry of the first echelon to start accelerating.
After the cavalry of the Condor Leader entered the firing range, the archer position on this side of the Divine King Hall immediately shot a rain of arrows.
However, because the heavy cavalry led by Ning Yuan was a real armored heavy cavalry with heavy armor, the rain of arrows could not cause any damage to this army except for the sound of a clanging sound.
At this point, any means of long-range attack were useless, and the only thing the enemy could rely on was those dense spears in the front row.
Looking at the blade jungle that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Ning Yuan also had a little drum in his heart.
Although the heavy cavalry was used for this job, after all, it was the first time he led the heavy cavalry to charge into battle, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
However, as the distance got closer, this apprehension was quickly replaced by excitement, and in a roar of excitement, Ning Yuan led the heavy cavalry of the first echelon directly into the bladed jungle in front.
Heavy cavalry charges have always relied on the immense impact to destroy the enemy's defenses.
In the face of the heavy cavalry weighing eight or nine hundred kilograms and rushing at high speed, the seemingly cold blade jungle seemed so fragile.
Under the huge impact force, the dense blade jungle was suddenly smashed into pieces, and many spears were broken on the spot.
The spearmen who were on the front line were even broken and broken, and many were even killed on the spot.
With the huge impact force, the heavy cavalry advanced for dozens of meters before gradually stopping.
Although the destructive power of the heavy cavalry was huge, this kind of death-like charge was originally to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, even if Ning Yuan equipped them with the best armor, casualties were still inevitable.
During the high-speed ramming, many of the heavy cavalry were picked off by the enemy with spears.
Although those spears could not pierce the armor on their bodies, they were already very fatal when they fell off their horses during a high-speed charge, and many heavy cavalry never got up again after falling off their horses, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
With his strong personal strength, Ning Yuan successfully broke through the enemy's acupuncture jungle formation, and he rode his war horse until he advanced sixty or seventy meters before gradually stopping, and all the enemies along the way were swept away by him.
The main reason why the heavy cavalry is terrible is because of the huge impact force they produce under the high-speed charge, once they lose their speed, their power will plummet, and they are even inferior to some of the heavy infantry that form a battle formation.
Ning Yuan was obviously very aware of this weakness of the heavy cavalry, so when the war horse lost speed, he no longer rushed forward, but immediately killed the other heavy cavalry on both sides, because soon the second echelon rushed over.
Speed is the life of the heavy cavalry, so the heavy cavalry will often be divided into several echelons when charging, and if the tide is general, it will constantly impact the enemy's defense.
After the charge is completed, they will voluntarily get out from the sides, and then recircle to the back and start to assemble, ready to launch a new charge.
"Quick, order the light infantry on both sides to press up, even if you use human lives, you have to drag those heavy cavalry there for me, and you must not let them regroup."
Chang Yuan looked at his own defense line that was raged by the enemy's heavy cavalry, and immediately couldn't sit still.
Because if these heavy cavalry are allowed to rush a few more times, then the entire defense line will completely collapse, so these heavy cavalry must be entangled no matter what.
In the Cold Weapons period, heavy cavalry was the most expensive type of troops, and there was no one. Raising a heavy cavalry legion often consumes a lot of resources, so not everyone can afford it.
So, what if you can't afford to raise heavy cavalry?
It's easy to do, that is, to exchange life for life, and take human life to pile up.
In general, killing a heavy cavalry at the expense of ten infantry is a big profit.
Killing a heavy cavalry at the expense of five infantry is a big victory, so Chang Yuan is ready to play life for life.
In addition to speed, the biggest Achilles' heel, heavy cavalry is also a weak point in their individual combat capabilities.
Because without the help of other troops, they can easily be divided and surrounded by the enemy, and then broken down individually.
It was precisely because of this weakness that Ning Yuan never let the two light cavalry legions help the heavy armored army fight, but let them always follow behind the heavy cavalry.
After discovering that the enemy's light infantry legions were pressing up from both flanks, Cook Ivan immediately led the elven archers to meet him.
The Elven Archers are a force of nature, and they give full play to the mobility of the cavalry and the archery talent of the Elves.
As a rain of arrows was thrown, the enemy's phalanx of light infantry immediately erupted in screams.
The 40,000 elven archers directly dragged the light infantry legions on both flanks, making it impossible for them to support them in time.
"Damn, heralds, go and inform the commanders of the two legions at once, and tell them that even if they die, they will die for me under the hooves of the heavy cavalry, and if I do this again, I will cut off their heads."
Chang Yuan was really angry this time, seeing that his two infantry legions were dragged in place by the two archers, he was so angry that he directly smashed the telescope in his hand.
"Dissipate your anger, Brother Chang Yuan, being angry won't solve the problem.
Although I am very reluctant to admit it, these armies under Ning Yuan are indeed much more elite than ours, just take this heavy cavalry corps as an example, we can't afford to raise a few of us here.
Luck is indeed a more subtle thing, although we think we don't have to be worse than others, but there are no resources, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”
"Yes, we have temporarily fallen into passivity on the battlefield here, and now it depends on whether the two cavalry corps can win as soon as possible and outflank it."
"That's right, this side will be anxious for a long time for the time being, and the real winners and losers are those two cavalry legions."
Just when everyone in the Divine King Hall pinned their hopes on the cavalry legion that was circling behind, Ning Yuan led the regrouped heavy cavalry to launch a second charge.
However, this charge was noticeably different from the first, as Philip Hell's Roaring Barbarian Legion followed closely behind them.
Although the heavy cavalry is known as a small tank in the cold weapon period, they are not real tanks after all, and their physical strength is very limited, so Ning Yuan doesn't want to drag it out any longer.
Anyway, the enemy's bladed jungle has been almost destroyed by them, and it's time for a final life-and-death battle with the enemy.
"What does Ning Yuan want to do? Why is there an infantry corps behind the heavy cavalry? ”
Ning Yuanjun's actions were quickly discovered by the people of the Divine King Palace, but they couldn't understand why Ning Yuan did this.
"I don't understand either, if the infantry corps follows, won't the heavy cavalry be abolished?"
"I guess Ning Yuan has a cerebral convulsion, but it's okay this way, at least the heavy cavalry that poses the biggest threat to us has been abolished by himself."
"Once the infantry corps gets entangled, this heavy cavalry will be useless, Ning Yuan is self-defeating, it seems that we have won this battle."
"What a fool, the general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and it is a pity to have such a waste commander on the stall."
"It's a pity, when Ning Yuan is killed, these prisoners and equipment will be ours, and soon we will be able to have a heavy cavalry corps of our own."
