......
The most important role of the Dwarven Bear Cavalry of the Storm Bear Guild is to charge into battle. Because of their short stature, each dwarven knight is equipped with a long-pole warhammer, which can easily kill hoplites armed to the teeth.
It can be said that the Dwarven Bear Cavalry existed to deal with hoplites, and they have always been invincible.
Unexpectedly, today I encountered the unreasonable war fortress of the War Ancient Tree, and the roots of the War Ancient Tree were entangled, which perfectly restrained the dwarf bear cavalry.
Although the dwarven knights can cut off the roots of some ancient war trees if they are equipped with sharp weapons such as battle axes, there are not many other ancient war trees, but there are many roots.
In addition to the taproot, it has countless fibrous roots, which are almost impossible to count, so it is impossible to rescue the ice bear entangled in the ancient tree of war, unless the enemy can kill the tree herder, it is simply delusional.
However, although the roots of the ancient tree of war are entangled, it has a fatal flaw, that is, it does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Although the Shepherd can command the War Ancient Tree to precisely entangle a person, in this kind of battlefield of tens of thousands of people, it is impossible for a single Shepherd to command it.
So when Ning Yuan led the soldiers to rush forward, Alice immediately made the ancient tree of war stop the root entanglement, of course, those dwarf bear knights who had been entangled would not be released.
"You say that if Ning Yuan dies in battle, will these soldiers under him join us?" Kofi Zouma stood on the conning tower, watching the battle ahead, and said to the people next to him.
"What? Kofi, do you want to fight Ningyuan's army? Ronaldo Ferreira glanced at Kofi Zouma and said meaningfully.
"No, I'm just asking casually, after all, Ning Yuan likes to charge into battle so much, it is inevitable that accidents will happen."
"Are you stupid, have you forgotten that Ning Yuan was killed by the Crusaders once before? He dares to be so willful, he must have resurrection props on him, you really think he is a fool who doesn't know whether he lives or dies. ”
Robert knew about Kofi Zuma's little thoughts, but Ning Yuan couldn't die now, so he warned Kofi Zuma euphemistically.
"Although the roots of the ancient tree of war are entangled, it is also flawed, although it successfully abolished the enemy's dwarf bear cavalry, but in the subsequent battle, it is powerless, and then it depends on whether Ning Yuan can withstand the impact of the enemy."
After warning Kofi Zouma, Robert said with some concern.
"Since I don't distinguish between the roots and the enemy, then why should Ning Yuan rush forward, he just waits for the ancient tree of war to entangle the enemy behind him."
"Are you stupid waiting for the enemy to rush over and rescue those ice bears?
The roots of the ancient tree of war are not invulnerable, and no matter how tough those roots are, they can't stand the enemy's constant slashing.
And every time a root is cut off, the ancient tree of war will lose a part of its energy, it can entangle thousands of people, but it can't entangle tens of thousands of people, because the entanglement itself is consuming its energy. ”
If you want to say which player in this game knows the most about the War Ancient Tree, Robert is definitely at the top of the list.
Compared to Ning Yuan's fools, Robert can be said to know the ancient tree of war, otherwise he would not have bothered to form this alliance of ancient trees of war.
As Robert said, when the Dwarven infantry and Terran infantry rushed up, they frantically attacked the roots of the Ancient Tree of War.
Although a new root will soon emerge from under the ground after a root is cut off, with a large number of roots being cut off, the entanglement of the ancient war tree is obviously not as strong as before, which can be seen from the strength of the polar ice bear's struggle.
"Ning Yuan, don't care about those entangled dwarven knights, go and stop those enemies who attack the roots of the War Ancient Tree, otherwise the War Ancient Tree will consume too much for a while, and it won't be able to entangle those ice bears."
When Robert noticed this bad sign, he immediately shouted loudly to the front, his voice was too small, so he organized a group of soldiers with loud voices to shout together.
"Stop attacking the immobile enemies, follow me and stop them from attacking the roots of the Ancient Tree of War."
After hearing the shouts coming from behind, Ning Yuan immediately issued a new order and led the Condor Guard to meet the enemy's heavy infantry.
"This army in front is a little difficult, come on, and order the heavy cavalry and the remaining infantry to go around the enemy's flanks and attack the lines on their flanks.
Let the adventurer legion rush to the front, attract the hatred of the Ancient Tree of War, and if the enemy chooses to stand still, then I will cut down the roots of the Ancient Tree of War and force them out. ”
Daniel Cheryshev, seeing that the frontal battlefield was in a state of seesaw, immediately issued a new order.
The Storm Bear Guild now has 1,000 Dwarven Bear Cavalry, 20,000 Dwarven Heavy Infantry, and 10,000 Terran Heavy Infantry in front of it.
They now have 30,000 dwarven heavy infantry, 20,000 terran heavy infantry, 10,000 terran heavy cavalry, and 80,000 adventurer player legions, so they are fully qualified to open up two more battlefields.
Although there are also ancient trees of war in several other directions, it is useless to deal with the Saint Seiya with the same move, and it seems that the enemy has placed their most elite troops on the front, so since the situation cannot be opened from the front, it is simply opened from the side.
In order to deal with the root entanglement of the Ancient Tree of War, Daniel Cheryshev directly asked the adventurer players to go to the mines and use their lives to force out the root entanglement of the Ancient Tree of War.
If the enemy dares to let these adventurer players pass, then he will use the heavy infantry to go through the mines, and he will not believe that the enemy will dare to let the heavy infantry pass.
As for the heavy cavalry, they need to wait for the right time, and once the roots of the ancient tree of war are abolished, the heavy cavalry will rush directly into the gap.
Daniel Cheryshev's improvised plan was perfect, as Kofi Zuma and Robert managed to get the adventurers inside, and then entwined the first dwarven hoplites.
Since then, their Ancient Tree of War has been attacked by the subsequent Dwarven Heavy Infantry and Terran Heavy Infantry, and a large number of roots have been cut off by the Blade.
Seeing that the Ancient War Tree's energy was becoming more and more consumed, Robert and Kofi Zuma had to order the Ancient War Tree to let go of the entangled enemies and take all the roots back into the ground.
Although the enemy's heavy infantry is terrifying, as long as you use people to pile it up, you can still resist it.
What worried them the most was the 10,000 Terran heavy cavalry that was divided into two groups and eyed each other, so they directly let the ancient tree of war put in all the heavy infantry and blocked the heavy cavalry out.
"Edward, Tim, Ronaldo, you hurry up and transfer half of the troops on the defense line to support us, you must not let these heavy infantry break our defense line, today is to use human lives, and you must also block them for me."
Although the Ancient Tree Alliance had the advantage in numbers, the light infantry was no match for the hoplites on the front, so they fought very hard, and in the end Robert had to draw soldiers from the other three lines of defense to support.
Although the Jaguars and Zulu Spearmen are special classes, they are both light infantry, and they can only play to their strengths as special troops in certain environments.
In this kind of frontal battle, they really have no way to take the enemy except relying on their numerical superiority to pair with the enemy.
When he saw that three or four soldiers had fallen on his side, and only one soldier could have fallen on the other side, Robert's brows were furrowed.
If they continue like this, even if they finally block the enemy's attack, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack Lionheart City, so they have to find a way.
However, as the attacker, the Storm Bear Guild has the absolute initiative, and people can also transfer troops from Lionheart City to reinforce at any time, so how easy is it to change this passive situation?
Robert struggled with his brains, and finally found that almost all feasible methods could not bypass the 10,000 heavy cavalry outside, and if they wanted to take the initiative against the enemy, they had to drag the 10,000 heavy cavalry on the other side.
"Edward, send me as many jaguar warriors as you have left, and let them take a detour behind enemy lines.
Tim, Ronaldo, get your men on top and replace Coffey's Zulu spearmen.
Coffey, you let the retreating Zulu spearmen get around Tim and Ronaldo's lines, and let them entangle the enemy's heavy cavalry for me no matter what.
If you really can't do it, you can exchange people for horses, anyway, I don't care what you do, you must drag them down for me.
Edward, tell your Jaguar Warrior Commander to bypass the heavy cavalry lines and immediately attack the enemy's conning tower to perform a decapitation operation.
Come on, go to the front line and inform Ning Yuan, let him destroy the enemy on his side as soon as possible no matter what, and then cooperate with the jaguar warriors to attack the enemy's headquarters, you tell him directly, saying that if he doesn't work hard now, then his three drops of youth spirit fluid will be gone. ”
Robert was forced to have no choice, so he had to choose wealth and danger.
Although they now have an absolute advantage in the number of troops, the disparity between the enemy and the enemy is too great.
They are all lightly armed infantry, and they are not the opponents of hoplites at all in this kind of positional offensive and defensive warfare, and if the war is allowed to develop like this, then the side that will be the first to collapse will definitely be them.
Now he has sent all the surplus troops out and used the high mobility of the Jaguar warriors to attack the enemy's headquarters, although he still can't change the form of the home field for a while, but he can use the advantage of his strength to force the enemy to make mistakes.
Although the enemy headquarters still has a well-equipped garrison, the Jaguar warriors are numerous, and when they desperately attack, the upper echelons of the Storm Bear Guild are likely to panic.
While they couldn't recall the troops who were fighting on the battlefield, at least their chain of command would be paralyzed, and what Robert wanted was to paralyze the enemy's chain of command, and he did so at the expense of a large number of Jaguar soldiers.
When the enemy's chain of command is paralyzed, the heavy cavalry, which is entangled in Zulu spearmen, loses their original strategic role.
When they don't get orders from the conning tower, they will definitely prioritize eliminating the Zulu spearmen who rush in front of them, and that's when Robert wants the opportunity comes.
As for Ning Yuan, Robert had no way at all, because Ning Yuan personally led his troops to fight on the battlefield, so it was difficult for any of his orders to be passed on to Ning Yuan.
And those troops under Ning Yuan didn't listen to his command, so he could only let the heralds put pressure on Ning Yuan and make him work harder, after all, a few of them stood on the command tower and already watched every move on the front line.
Although Ning Yuan fought very hard, a large part of his army did not enter the battle, and now only 20,000 Condor Guards and orc heavy infantry followed Ning Yuan to fight, and the rest of the army was waiting in the rear.
In fact, Robert really wanted to requisition the 10,000 cavalry under Ning Yuan and let them contain the enemy's heavy infantry.
But after a few orders were passed down, the cavalry generals under Ning Yuan didn't buy his account at all.
Ning Yuan, who was at the forefront, had a hard time receiving his orders, so Robert finally had to choose Kofi Zuma's Zulu spearmen and let them pin down the enemy's heavy cavalry.
So is Ning Yuan really preserving his strength? You know, this is a real battlefield.
The answer is YES, although Ning Yuan fought fiercely, he was indeed preserving his strength.
The enemy on Ningyuan's defensive line only had 20,000 dwarven heavy infantry and 10,000 terran heavy infantry, but he only brought 20,000 Condor guards and a brigade of orc heavy infantry to fight.
Although the elven rangers were completely abolished, if he really wanted to repel the enemy, he should at least bring the dwarven cavalry and elephant warriors, after all, these two classes are sharp weapons against the heavy armor class, but Ning Yuan chose to let them stand by in the rear.
In fact, Ning Yuan could attack after abolishing the dwarf bear cavalry, but at that time, the enemy's 10,000 heavy cavalry was still eyeing the periphery, so Ning Yuan did not dare to attack it, for fear of being attacked by the heavy cavalry.
After all, he died under the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry last time, and it is impossible to say that there is no psychological shadow at all.
Since both sides are heavy infantry, it is very difficult for both sides to actually kill the opponent except for using heavy blows to injure and kill the enemy.
And at this time, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in the hands of the Divine Eagle Guard occupied an advantage of being an inch long and an inch strong.
The Condor guards lined up in a neat line, forming a steel defense line with Fang Tian's halberds, making it difficult for the dwarven hoplites to get close to them.
Although the enemy Terran hoplites also had halberds in their hands, when they mixed with the dwarven infantry, the formation was completely disrupted.
In the face of the continuous attacks of the Condor Guards in platoons, row by row, if they did not choose to retreat, they could only use their bodies to resist, plus with Ning Yuan and the orc heavy infantry as arrows, it can be said that these 30,000 enemies have been completely suppressed by the Condor Guard led by Ning Yuan.
However, since both sides were covered in a layer of king's eight shells, it was not so easy for Ning Yuan to completely annihilate this heavy infantry. After all, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to pierce through thick armor, and you must hit the opponent hard with your weapon.
Compared to the flesh and blood between the light infantry, the battle between the hoplites is so monotonous and boring.
Originally, Ning Yuan wanted to stalemate for a while, and then decide whether to rush out or just defend so safely according to the situation on the battlefield, but when he saw the enemy sending other hoplites and heavy cavalry to other defensive lines, he immediately thought of a bad idea.
After repelling a dwarven heavy infantry in front of him, Ning Yuan quietly retreated to the array of the Condor Guards and pretended to rest, and then he immediately ordered his personal guards to mobilize the white heavy infantry to come over and let them tie up the enemies who were knocked down and wounded with ropes.
That's right, what Ning Yuan is thinking about now is how to fight for the greatest benefit for himself, instead of taking the initiative to kill and relieve the pressure on the others in the alliance.
In his opinion, it is better to let the others fight with the enemy, and then he will come out to clean up the mess.
After all, his behavior before the war had already annoyed the other five, and he was worried that they would unload the mill and kill the donkey, so he would improvise and use the enemy's hand to weaken the strength of the other five.
Compared with Ning Yuan's side of killing the enemy and capturing prisoners at the same time, the battles on several other battlefields were more tragic.
Although the Zulu spearmen were used against cavalry, they were only able to deal with light cavalry, and they were so vulnerable to heavy cavalry.
Fortunately, however, the enemy's heavy cavalry had been lingering outside the battlefield, so when they suddenly scattered and rushed from the far end, the enemy's heavy cavalry had managed to entangle them before they could inflict a fatal blow on them.
Although many Zulu spearmen were directly knocked out by the heavy cavalry, they finally succeeded in making the enemy lose speed by virtue of their numerical superiority and desperate fighting style.
As we all know, the greatest fear of heavy cavalry is the loss of speed, and once they lose their speed, they are no different from ordinary hoplites, and may even be inferior to ordinary hoplites, because in the chaos of the battlefield, it is difficult for them to organize effective formations.
The Zulu spearmen took full advantage of their agility to stab the stub in their hands into the parts of the horse's body that were not covered by the vest, and then stirred it vigorously.
The horses struggled desperately in pain, and then the heavy cavalry on horseback were thrown off, and when the heavy cavalry landed, the nearby Zulu spearmen would immediately rush over and pounce on the heavy cavalry to help them unarmour.
The heavy cavalry was already very inflexible, and it was almost impossible for them to survive when they were beaten by several Zulu spearmen in hooligan fights.
However, the heavy cavalry were not willing to sit still and wait for death.
Some of the heavy cavalry on the periphery slapped their horses vigorously, hoping to rush out and regain some distance to sprint.
Some of the heavy cavalry, completely out of speed, dismounted, and quickly found their companions, forming small defensive formations with them against the mad dog-like Zulu spearmen.
Zulu spearmen are hacked to death by the heavy cavalry at all times, and there are also heavy cavalry who are directly swallowed up by a group of Zulu spearmen who look like mad dogs.
Their battlefield was littered with the corpses of men and horses, and blood was flowing all over the ground, and it was extremely tragic.
But if it's more tragic than the tragedy, it's still the most tragic among the jaguar warriors.
When they launched a surprise attack on the enemy's headquarters, a major battle broke out directly with the garrison there.
The Storm Bears' garrison is also a hoplite, so even though the jaguar warriors are not afraid to die, they still struggle to break through this steel defense.
Because he received a death order, the leader of this jaguar warrior directly issued an order to burn jade, and the jaguar warrior in front directly regarded himself as a throwable, and with the help of high-speed momentum, he directly crashed into the enemy's defense line with his body.
Under the forward and successive charges of the jaguar warriors, the formation of the garrison legion of the Storm Bear Guild was finally disrupted, and then a large number of jaguar warriors rushed in along the gap.
They used the same tactics as the Zulu spearmen, who would take off their helmets as soon as they threw their hoplites to the ground, and then smashed the heads of their enemies with Makua Huitl.
In the face of this group of crazy jaguar warriors, the top brass of the Storm Bear Guild, led by Daniel Cheryshev, finally became timid, and they left the conning tower under the protection of the personal guards and retreated to a safer rear.
When the actions of Daniel Cheryshev and others were caught by Robert, who was standing on the conning tower, he immediately ordered the execution of his final plan.
"Coffey, Tim, immediately order your tree herders to have the War Tree Tree carry out an indiscriminate entanglement attack."
"Indiscriminate Root Attack? This will injure a lot of your own people. After hearing Robert's order, Kofi Zouma was a little hesitant.
"We can't do that much, now that the enemy's heavy cavalry has been completely entangled by the Zulu spearmen, and their chain of command is temporarily paralyzed, so this is our best chance to turn defeat into victory.
If you are injured by mistake, you will be injured by mistake, it is better than being slaughtered by those heavy infantry, don't hesitate, hurry up and execute, as long as we win this battle, then Lionheart City is ours, if we lose, we can only leave the open world. ”
Robert understood Kofi Zuma's mood very well, so he did not yell at him this time, but calmly persuaded him.
Although the roots of the ancient tree of war are not as simple as killing enemies with swords, they can also kill people, and if they are accidentally entangled in the neck by the roots, then if they can't break free immediately, they will soon die of suffocation.
The roots of the Ancient War Tree are a constraint on large creatures like the Polar Ice Bear, but they are very lethal to humans, because in order to prevent the enemy from breaking free, the Ancient War Tree will tightly wrap around the enemy.
At this time, if the entangled person is injured, then he will most likely die of blood loss, because the roots of the ancient tree will squeeze the blood out of his body.
In addition, some people who are not physically strong enough, after they are entangled by the ancient tree of war, because they cannot resist the huge winding force, they will also die of suffocation.
So Robert's order was basically to abandon those of his own soldiers who were fighting with the enemy, although not all of them would be entangled to death, but casualties were inevitable.
Because Robert was unable to command Alice, only three of the Ancient War Trees used Root Tordrils, and when countless Root Trees suddenly burst out from under the ground, and then entwined all of them without distinction between enemies and enemies, the tragic war was basically considered to have a final result.
The soldiers of the Storm Bear Guild never dreamed that the enemy would adopt this kind of fighting style together, so they were all caught off guard.
When they waved the weapons in their hands to cut off the roots of the ancient war tree that were as dense as pythons, they sadly found that their hands could no longer move, and then many people died of suffocation because they could not resist the huge entanglement force.
