138. Killing

Three hundred meters, the cavalry began to diverge.

The more than 100 horsemen in the middle began to slow down, and these people were obviously highly mobile mounted infantry. Judging from their equipment, it can be clearly seen that there are spearmen, archers, and swordsmen, although it seems that there are more than a hundred people, but if they are divided into three arms, there are not many left. If it is a small-scale siege or ambush battle, this scale is quite lethal, but once it is extended to the scale of war, if the archer cannot form a covering shot, then the effect is very small.

This is also the reason why in a local ambush war, if the archers do not have more than 100 people, all commanders prefer to be equipped with swords, shields or pikemen. The former is extremely lethal in hand-to-hand combat; The latter was often very effective against cavalry, and even against sword and shield soldiers, they could easily defend themselves against the enemy by virtue of the length of their weapons.

Two hundred meters, all the archers had stopped their horses and began to draw their bows.

At this distance, whether it is a projectile or a hanging shot, it is already the distance at which these archers can exert the most lethality. This is a human archer, and although among all the races of archers, human archers can only be regarded as relatively medium-strength archers, but if the enemy they are facing is a goblin, this gap is like an elven archer bullying a pig-headed man.

The other cavalry units that were still charging ahead, the Running Lizard Cavalry on the right side of the team began to draw an arc and circled around the right side of the Great Red Fire Tribe.

As one of the ultimate kobolds, the Running Lizard Cavalry, although it has always been classified as a light cavalry, has long been recognized as one of the top five most dangerous light cavalry types on the continent. And in some special terrain and conditions, such as the current wilderness, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even ranked first!

The weapon used by the Lizard Cavalry was a short-barreled javelin that was not even fifty centimeters long, but the shaft of this javelin was made of sand, which was unique to the desert, and it had very contradictory qualities - the lightness of wood and the sharpness of metal. Wood of this material does not even need to be equipped with a gun head. Only one end needs to be sharpened to be used directly as a tip, so this javelin has the dual characteristics of high range and high penetration.

Its maximum range is up to 300 meters, which is already equivalent to the range of a regular human archer, and the effective range can even reach 150 meters. At this effective range, in addition to medium-sized armor, whether it is light armor, leather armor or even chain mail, it can easily penetrate, and if it is within a distance of 100 meters, its penetration may even penetrate two targets.

And the only flaw of this javelin is that it is not suitable for human use.

Usually each Lizard Rider will be equipped with about ten to twenty short-pole javelins, the capacity of which depends on the height and weight of the kobold, as well as the height and weight of the mount. Under normal circumstances, only the commander of the Lizard Cavalry would have twenty short-pole javelins at his disposal. The average Lizard Cavalry will only be equipped with ten, and the captain-level will be equipped with about twelve to fifteen. In combat, the Lizard Cavalry can throw between three and five short-shot javelins per minute, and will generally throw all of them except one for melee use.

In battle, though. Lizard cavalry will avoid melee combat as much as possible. Because as a subordinate of the light cavalry, the kobold's running lizard cavalry, like all light cavalry, does not have too high defensive capabilities. Even in order to maximize the amount of load. Kobolds as cavalry don't wear any protective gear, let alone their mounts, so if they get close, they usually end up miserable.

It's just that the most terrifying thing about the Running Lizard Cavalry is that because the short-shot javelins don't have spear heads, they can be recovered in full after every battle, and there is no need to worry about wear and tear at all. Occasionally, there is wear and tear on the tip of the gun. The Galloping Cavalry is equipped with a special short blade that can be resharpened and reused, and as long as the length of these short-pole javelins is not less than forty centimeters, the Galloping Cavalry will not abandon the spear.

The more than 100 galloping lizard cavalry circled around the right side of the Great Red Fire Tribe. The entire Great Red Fire Tribe fell into a panic in an instant.

As a race living in the same land, would the goblins not know the horrors of the Running Lizard Cavalry of the Kobolds?

Even if this galloping lizard cavalry didn't do anything, just kept cruising around, it was enough to reduce the combat effectiveness of all goblins by fifty percent. What's more, goblins have never been known for their combat ability, although they also have a classification of arms, but a properly trained pikeman can easily defeat five to ten ordinary goblin soldiers, which shows the difference in strength between the two sides.

Among the goblins, the only ones who can fight and are really threatening are the goblin cavalry.

But the goblin cavalry, which has less than thirty horses, let alone the able to fight with the galloping lizard cavalry of more than 100 horses, is afraid that they have been shot into a group of hedgehogs before they have rushed in front of the other party.

What's more, the more than 100 lizard cavalry that diverted out were more than 150 human enemies charging head-on at this moment.

At the forefront of the charge were nearly a hundred human cavalry.

It is not difficult for Sean and the others to see that the training of these cavalry is obviously not long enough, because the charging formation is difficult to maintain after running for up to three hundred meters, and the formation begins to be a little loose, which is obviously not conducive to the group charge of the cavalry. But at this moment, they only had to deal with a goblin race of less than three hundred, perhaps with more than a hundred humans and more than forty barbarians, no matter how you look at it, this group of cavalry has the advantage.

What's more, in the rear of this more than 100 cavalrymen, there are more than 50 motorized infantry armed with spears and swords.

Almost instantly, Sean had already completely seen the plans of this force.

The Lizard Cavalry, which has always been equated with the most dangerous in the wilderness, is used as a deterrent and deterrent - of course, if necessary, it can also be immediately put into battle, and then scatter with archers at a distance of about two hundred meters, not seeking to kill or injure the enemy, but only to hit the enemy's morale, and finally use cavalry to charge to open the way, supplemented by the more than fifty infantry behind him to expand the results of the battle and cause enough lethality to the greatest extent.

It's almost a perfect raid tactic!

Even a layman, Sean, can see the tactics of these enemies, so how can a good commander like Cecilia, Krumah, and Carlos not see it?

This raid tactic if it changes places. No matter which commander, even someone like Andrey, has many ways to break the game. But here at this moment, this tactical attack against the Great Red Fire Tribe is simply a lore tactic!

Almost instantly, the entire Great Red Fire Tribe immediately fell into a desperate situation of despair and panic.

"All bears are out!"

"All defenders out!"

"Aisha, let the clansmen immediately prepare for the onslaught!"

This is the conductor from Cecilia, Kruma, and Carlos.

It's just that these three orders sounded almost at the same time, so that the situation on the scene was slightly chaotic - the Iron Wings were originally intended to be offensive and defensive positional warfare units, but most of the time they were directly used as defensive troops. Therefore, when Cecilia and Kruma gave the order, all the bears and the Northland barbarians were listed at the same time, and the original field was not very large. At this moment, the two sides were lined up at the same time, which immediately made the field shrink by a circle.

As a result, Carlos's fiancée, a female goblin from the Finch clan who also has blood-eyed blood, is now the high priestess of the Great Red Fire Tribe. Finch is knocked down by a bear man as he turns around. Therefore, it is natural that the order given by Carlos could not be conveyed immediately. And the impact of this is that the entire Great Red Fire Tribe is still in some kind of panic and chaos. I can't calm down at all.

So much so that seconds were wasted. The distance between the cavalry and the entrance of the tribe in the sprint was shortened to 100 meters, and in the next second, they directly launched the most rear-end charge towards the Great Red Fire Tribe.

In any war, whether large-scale or small-scale, whether at the strategic level or at the tactical level, the most feared thing is the disorder of the command system.

The orders of the three commanders instantly turned the whole situation into chaos.

Soon, though. Krumah and Carlos bowed at the same time, which in the current situation naturally meant that the command was being given to Cecilia.

It has to be said that Krumah and Carlos, who are also commanders, are very aware of their own flaws: although Krumah is nominally Sean's subordinate, he has surrendered to Sean. But in fact, it is only a kind of mutually beneficial contractual relationship with Sean, although he also has experience in commanding the bears and the Northland barbarians, but his understanding of these troops is naturally inferior to Cecilia; Carlos, on the other hand, is even more straightforward, although his command is good, but it is inferior to Crumah, let alone Cecilia, so it is naturally willing to give up command.

After clarifying the first commander, Cecilia did not seem ambiguous at all, and immediately issued a series of orders.

First of all, the position of adjutant naturally belongs to Carlos, because he is the only one who knows the situation of the entire Great Red Fire Tribe best. Secondly, Kruma's position is that of the commander, and as the commander second only to Cecilia, it is also most appropriate for him to be responsible for coordinating with Carlos to command and arrange the situation of the entire tribe.

Only then was the order to gather all the bears on the front line to form the first line of defense against the cavalry charge.

Although the chaos soon began to subside, Silver and Billy, who were on the battlefield in the distance, looked extremely happy at this time.

Because they know very well that this kind of chaos that has just appeared is definitely caused by the dissatisfaction of multiple commanders on the other side, and this is where they can take advantage of it. Because once the cavalry launched a real charge, the speed must be extremely fast, and at this moment, there was only a distance of about thirty meters away from the Great Red Fire Tribe, and this distance was completely insignificant even if the other party had hoplites.

Because in the face of the cavalry charge, even if these cavalry are not regular cavalry and are only amateurs, but once a charging formation is formed, unless the hoplites who have already deployed the formation are resisting in front, they will not be able to withstand the cavalry charge at all.

And Silver, as the actual architect of this lore tactic, was of course very aware of how favorable the situation was for her, because from the very beginning these cavalry charges were not about killing and cutting, but about breaking the formation and creating chaos. So at this moment, looking at the bear people who hurried to the front line to set up the formation, Silver's face showed a look of obsessive madness, as long as this cavalry unit under her command could break up the defensive front that the other party could not deploy in time, and let these cavalry smoothly rush into the Great Red Fire Tribe, her strategic intention could be fully implemented!

At this point, she couldn't wait to see a carnage and chaos! (To be continued......)

PS: Sure enough, I was most afraid of something, I was still glad that I didn't have a fever before, but I immediately had a fever yesterday, and I took three anti-inflammatory tablets to force the high fever down. I slept all day yesterday, and now I suddenly can't sleep.
