Chapter 576: Prey
Theoretically, only the stupidest commander would allow a priceless cavalry to charge head-on at an already formed infantry rank. In fact, as long as the infantry has formed an array and held a thick and heavy repelling rifle, even if these infantry are a group of farmers with no serious military training, they can still make the heavy cavalry who "cost" several times as much as them turn on their backs. The soldiers of the first and second rows must have died, even if it were not for the spear thrusts and iron hooves of the cavalrymen armed to the teeth, the kinetic energy from the impact would have killed them. However, the cavalry on the road of the charge are also dead, the first row of people will definitely be skewering hedgehogs in the rejection of horse guns, and the people in the back row will also trip over the corpses of their comrades in the front row. The ensuing chain reaction will plunge the entire legion into awkward chaos, and if it is entangled by the infantry, the cavalry that cannot charge will often be inferior to the infantry in combat effectiveness.
However, theories are only theories.
In fact, when facing the iron cavalry rushing towards him, even a veteran who was accustomed to seeing blood could not bear the tremble in his heart. When their hearts beat violently until they reach their throats, when their hands and feet tremble when they are cold, they will eventually lose all courage to fight, and even scatter and flee before the cavalry and the blades and hooves make real contact with them. Your cowardly actions will inevitably bring a catastrophic blow to the morale of all your comrades.
Then, it was the rhythm of the whole army rushing to the ground and being slaughtered by one side.
What do infantry need most when facing cavalry? Equip? Number? Formation? No, all they need is the easiest. It is also the most difficult to get su zhì - the courage to die. The courage to die is such a precious spirit for a warrior. This is something that the vast majority of veterans who have been through a hundred battles cannot have, and even many of them are extremely powerful. It also lacks such qualities.
And now, at this time, under Lu Xi's command, these soldiers who are estimated to be as far away from Mars as the Earth in the Hundred Battles Heroic Division, suddenly have such courage.
"Crackling!" "Ding-bang!" "Brush and tear!" The sound of flesh and flesh, metal and metal, and metal tearing flesh resounded in Lu Xi's ears. The Federation soldiers in the first two rows had become a flesh-and-blood millstone with the wolves in the first row, and it was no longer clear who was who.
Lu Xi pulled Liszt a step back and walked to the center of the third row of soldiers. This is not a lack of courage. Because he didn't have a shield or spear in his hand, he couldn't be a member of the battle line, and in fact, two wolf knights had already been blown off their heads by him with arcane missiles. And Liszt's record is even more than Lu Xi.
This bear child is good at prophecy and summoning, and is not too good at shaping magic to kill enemies efficiently, so he has a large bag of various alchemy bullets on his body. The moment the wolf cavalry rushed up, he directly threw several projectiles infused with arcane energy, and landed right in the center of the wolf cavalry team that flew up. The explosions shimmered in different colors, like festive fireworks. In that colorful light, there is the deadliest torrent of arcane.
This series of explosions tore at least twenty or more wolf cavalry and their wolves into ugly pieces of flesh. Of course, it is known that alchemy bullets are all made from very expensive materials. Attacking with this kind of thing is not much different from smashing people with gold coins.
"You're extravagant! Unexpectedly, just a bear child has a brainless powder. It's a trench? Lu Xi looked at Liszt with the eyes of a class enemy, and his tone was naturally very unfriendly.
"This. Hehe, senior sister. So that you know, the teacher said, "The science of prophecy that I do best lacks the means of direct attack." In terms of summoning, it takes a long time to summon a powerful enough contract phantom beast. Before that, I lacked the ability to protect myself sufficiently. So, before I came to Black Man City to report on my work this time, she gave me a large alchemy magic bullet. ”
"Oh, it turns out that it's not you who is a local tyrant, but Yuxi? Master Nacardo...... Tsk, I'm talking nonsense, except for my teacher, who smashes a lot of money into the invincible abyss of research, that great magician will be short of money. Well, except for a soft girl who owes 150 million in foreign debt. From this point of view, do we all have the physique possessed by the poor gods? Belch...... You'll have to take care of your wallet in the future. ”
This vignette was done in an extremely short period of time. In fact, when the orcs and the federal soldiers entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, everything Lu Xi could do could be done.
All that remains is to see if the federal soldiers can really withstand the constant pressure of the enemy under the effect of the golden thigh aura; and whether his other arrangements can work in time.
In fact, if it really comes to one-on-one combat, the rookie soldiers of the Federation are definitely no match for these orc wolf cavalry. What's more, the orcs are not only on their own, but the mounts under their crotches are also extremely fierce and brave carnivorous beasts. These large animals, which are completely comparable in size to Siberian tigers, can even bite off the head of a human soldier with their razor-sharp teeth. There were even some unowned wolves without orcs, who flew directly over the melee in front of them with a stellar step, and fell into the crowd of the Federation in the back row, waving their claws and sharp teeth with their teeth and claws, trying to disrupt the Federation's front. If it weren't for Lu Xi's Star Spirit and Liszt's Summoned Beast rescuing and filling the position everywhere in the battlefield, maybe the formation would have been disrupted.
Lu Xi's skills can give the Federation soldiers a constant surge of courage, but only a 20% strength bonus is not enough to reverse the strength gap between the Federation soldiers and the orc wolf cavalry. The reason why they were able to fight to such a point where they could not win or lose: the first is that these orcs only have brute courage, but they do not know how to cooperate and tactics at all, and they are not even as good as centaurs in terms of organization. If the broken centaurs are still an armed mob, this group of orcs is at best a bunch of Crazy Boys, even if everyone has the combat power of a double-flower red stick. It's still an old boy. On the human side, on the other hand, a 20% strength bonus doesn't make them much more powerful. Or how fast they run, but they can make the most of their strengths. This group of federal defenders is also a national regular army that has had a long period of intensive training. Although they have never fought a war, they still have the necessary organization, discipline, and the ability to cooperate with individual soldiers.
The biggest difference between a recruit and an elite soldier is that recruits tend to forget the skills they have learned on the battlefield. Now, these Federation soldiers, who have completely forgotten their fears under Lu Xi's golden thigh aura "malicious brainwashing", have just "polished" the skills they learned on the training ground but have never played in actual combat.
The cooperation of three, the cooperation of five people, and the cooperation of seven people. They are all organized in different ways. The soldiers who fought also had different responsibilities in small groups depending on the weapons in their hands. The Federation's army grappling tactics are actually completely born from the cooperation of adventurers of different professions in the face of strong enemies, compared to the Oakland Empire's steel Great Wall of infantry phalanx, it is naturally not so tall, but it is better than practical and flexible. After all, this is a country founded by magicians, and maybe the ancestors who founded the country and the army robbed tombs...... Well, I mean the experience of dungeon adventures.
All in all, not a single soldier of the Federation has left himself alone. Under the cooperation of their respective small groups. The wolf cavalry was completely unable to give full play to the superiority of troops, but fell into an embarrassing situation of being at a loss.
Lu Xi waved a sword casually, and the sword qi formed by the angry energy split an orc and the wolf under its crotch in two, and then raised the sword and shouted loudly: "Hold on!" Victory is at hand! ”
He just subconsciously wanted to brush the commander's sense of existence. Let's be honest. The battle has reached this point, and it doesn't matter much to Lu Xi. In addition to activating his skills at the beginning, he also brainwashed himself with his mouth cannon. After that, he only fought with everyone, and almost completely failed to fulfill the duty of the commander to dispatch troops - in fact, he had no other troops to transfer. But. Maybe Lu Xi's appearance and armor are too distinct, or maybe his malicious behavior of brushing up on zài finally attracted the attention of others. There are people who blame him completely for the current scorching battle situation.
"Conjurious Federans! Suffer death! A voice suddenly exploded in Lu Xi's ears like thunder on the ground. He felt a blackness overhead, as if a whole dark cloud had suddenly condensed in the sky above without warning, and had led him into a palpitating shadow. The Dark Cloud's true form was actually a giant wolf with a terrible grayish-white coat, which was much larger than its mostly brown- and black-furred companions, with sharper claws and two canine teeth sticking out from the roof of the jaw, the length of a dagger.
If you really want to be knocked down like this, even the throat of an elephant will be bitten off, right?
"Senior sister!" Not far from here, Liszt reminded Lu Xi loudly.
The colorless, but as if a halo composed of many colors gathered around Lu Xi, forming a barrier of light. The white wolf pressed against the seemingly weak and thin light curtain, but it seemed to pounce on the thick iron plate, and its huge and heavy body could no longer continue to fall, as if it was held high in the air by an invisible hand.
"Roar! Roar! The white-haired wolf let out a heart-rending roar, but its figure was suddenly covered by the blinding flickering that exploded on the light curtain. Immediately afterward, the flickering turned into a rainbow of light jets, constantly bombarding the wolf's body, and the behemoth bounced back like a kite with a broken string, crushing a orc cavalry company and wolf behind it directly to the ground.
"Woo woo woo ......" the wolf let out a dying painful sound, and the penetrating wounds on his body emitted a thick and fishy smell of blood, and he struggled a few times, but still couldn't get up again. The huge wolf body twitched and heaved, and then gradually lost its breath.
From behind the wolf's body, a tall orc body slowly stood up. He has brownish-yellow skin, a pair of maroon-red, reptile-like eyes, a necklace of six skeletons on his chest, and a heavy armor made of metal strips. He carried a double-edged battle axe in one hand and a meteor hammer the size of a watermelon. The novelty is that there are three leaning flags behind the back of this orc man, all of which have blood-red floors, and the flags are painted with different patterns and coats of arms, but I don't know what they mean.
Although this guy is dressed like a Peking Opera actor, he is a fighter who is intimidating just by looking at his appearance.
"Rats, rats! But dare to kill my closest comrades-in-arms! I'm going to rip off your limbs alive! I'm going to eat your flesh and chew your bones alive! I'm going to ......"
"Okay, okay, don't learn to scold if you don't have culture. Every time I say a few words, my ears can already hear the calloon. Lu Xi raised his eyebrows, interrupted the other party's words, and then said loudly: "Don't come over, everyone!" This tease is my prey! (To be continued......)
PS: Someone asked me to watch two more, so I'll tease you once in a while, remember to give your waiting tickets and knees
