139. Reef!
These cavalry charges, trained by Billy, are imbued with a ferocious and ruthless flavor.
In fact, this is a very common phenomenon in the Wild Lands, as no mercy or kindness can survive here. Only ruthless people who dare to fight can survive here in the wilderness, not to mention that these soldiers trained by Billy himself are all captured from the slave capture team, and the degree of ruthlessness can be imagined.
At a distance of less than thirty meters, a trace of hideousness flashed in the eyes of the leading cavalryman.
"Kill!"
He let out a cry of excitement, then clamped the spear in his hand tighter under his armpit and lowered the tip of the spear slightly. His target was the bearman in front of him on the left, who had just stood firm and had only time to put down the tower shield in his hand - this cavalry leader was the leader of a slave hunting team before he became a cavalryman, and he had a lot of contact with bearmen, and he knew how to make enough trouble for the bearmen as much as possible.
In his judgment, his shot would graze the upper left corner of the shield diagonally, and then cut the bearman's veins very simply. With the endurance of the bear people, this shot will only make them dizzy and lose their combat effectiveness, and if they are lucky, they will even be too weak to move due to excessive blood loss, which is undoubtedly a job that can reduce the pressure on the follow-up troops.
And behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen who had different identities before and were now comrades-in-arms were also frantically responding to his shouts of killing with raised arms. They invariably accelerated the sprinting power of the war horse, which may make the war horse more tired and shorten their ability to continue fighting, but this can not only increase their charging lethality, but can even easily break through the opponent's weak defense line that seems to be almost full of holes at the moment!
Yes, in the eyes of this cavalry unit, those thirty or so bear men were because of their size. Coupled with the equipment on their bodies, they are very slow to move. At this moment, it was not easy to gather at the gate of the tribe, let alone spread out the formation, and even the most basic three-layer phalanx of hoplites to resist the cavalry charge could not be established, and they could only stand at the door barely and almost sparsely.
Such a level of defense, if it is only against the same number of cavalry charges, with the narrowness of the tribe's gate, it will naturally be able to resist.
However, under the high-speed charge of hundreds of cavalry to break through rather than cut and kill, it was impossible for the hoplites who had lost enough support to stop them. I'm afraid it's just a moment. The hoplites would be tossed to the ground by the charging tide, then mortally wounded and crippled by the horses' hooves, and then die tragically under the attack of the motorized infantry behind them, but they could not do any harm at all.
These cavalrymen no longer take those bear people seriously. More of their attention had been focused on the barbarians with shields and spears behind them. In their perceptions, it was clear that the enemy had abandoned the thirty-odd bear-man hoplites. Instead, hope is placed behind these savages. Attempt to rely on the slowdown created by the impact on the Bearman hoplites to give them a sharp counterattack.
Naive!
The leader of the cavalry in the lead excitedly stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and then he leaned down, but his right hand holding the spear did not change in the slightest, but his left hand had already touched the grip of a flail located on the saddle on the right. This thing would be the thing that would be the first time he sped out of the barbarian blockade after he had broken through the fragile line of the bearmen. And give each other a lesson in the nightmare.
How could a person who could serve as a cavalry charge arrow be an ordinary person?
The distance between the two sides is less than ten meters.
The sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder.
The dust raised was almost obscuring the sky and the sun, and it had seriously affected the sight of the tribe's gate.
But unexpectedly. The first attack to arrive, but not the charge of cavalry.
It was a projectile from the fifty-meter archer two hundred meters away!
Projectiles have always been terrifyingly lethal, but only if they are large enough. With the projectile shot by a mere fifty archers, even though the acceleration of the arrow when it falls can form a considerable lethality, it is naturally not worth mentioning in front of the heavy infantry type troops that are not large enough and stand in the way.
However, the archers' projectiles were very ingenious, and they did not target the bears and the Northland barbarians, but locked the target in a position further back - the position of the command center core circle where Sean, Cecilia and others were located!
Obviously, this kind of blow is also not about killing the enemy, but about stopping the enemy! The purpose of these archers' throws was to make Cecilia stop giving orders from dodging the arrows, thus making the command delay ineffective. The most commendable thing is that at this moment, all the units that can act as defenders have been transferred to the front line, so Cecilia and the others, who have to be on the front line to command because of the rapid changes in the battlefield situation, naturally have no measures that can protect them.
In the face of the attack of these arrows, Sean, Andre, Cruz and others had to immediately come to the rescue, and they had to focus on these projectile arrows, so as not to cause too much damage to Cecilia and Tiny. Fortunately, the number of archers on the other side is too small, so the arrows that fall are very sparse, and there is a priest with a sword, Tini, so if you just miss these arrows and fly them, it is not too difficult.
But at this moment, Silver didn't know what to say, and a kobold mage standing beside her closed her eyes, and an obscure wave of magic power spread from her body.
Immediately afterwards, the group of galloping lizard cavalry who had rounded up to the right side of the Great Red Fire Tribe threw out the javelin in their hands without hesitation!
Obviously, because of the stone walls on the periphery of the tribe, these kobold cavalry couldn't judge the location of Sean and the others at all, but when these javelins were thrown, they were accurate to a terrifying degree. If Sean could have seen what Silver had told the kobold mage, then he would have been able to see why these galloping lizard cavalry could throw so accurately.
The roaring sound of breaking through the air made a terrible concussive sound, as if even this space was about to be shattered.
Hundreds of terrible sandwood short-game javelins were thrown. Even if Sean and the others have the blessing of ice armor, they don't dare to take it hard at all - if it is in the game, of course Sean doesn't mind blocking it, but in reality, if he is pierced through the heart by this javelin, then he will definitely be a corpse on the spot. Therefore, in the face of this terrible attack, everyone's first reaction was to disperse immediately, Sean picked up Cecilia, and then jumped to the side, quickly away from the area covered by the short-game javelin.
Although everyone's dodge speed was extremely fast, there were still several members of the slave trapping team under Andre's command in the past, as well as several barbarians of the Heavy Rock tribe who were a beat slower, and the corpses were on the spot. Even Ataba. The heavy rock (heavy hammer) was all pierced in the thigh with a short-shot javelin. The only fortunate thing was that this shot dodged the artery, so it only caused a certain amount of injury to Ataba, but it was not fatal - there were High Priest Heavy Rock, Aisha. Finch and Tini were there, and it wasn't a problem to stop the bleeding and recover from their injuries.
But this inner circle is scattered. But it also means that in the next few seconds, there will be no command transmission to the current battlefield at all!
And all that. Naturally, it is the result that Silver wants the most!
Ahead. The cavalry's charge finally collided with the bears.
The dull crash roared like a huge drum boom in all directions, and its sound was as great as the sound of the galloping hooves of these cavalry as they charged.
Even Silver and Billy, who were four hundred meters away, could hear it clearly.
It can be seen from this that the impact of this charge is so strong and shocking!
Commanders, who are usually more seasoned in their judgment of the war situation, often only need to hear the sound of cavalry charges. It will be able to determine what kind of result a specific charge formation will bring. And at this time, the voice was so dull and amazing, and Yin, who was able to arrange such a brilliant tactic, was certainly a seasoned commander, so even if the smoke and dust at the entrance of the Great Red Fire Tribe were so thick that it was almost impossible to see the specific situation, she was also convinced that those bear-man hoplites had been completely crushed at this moment. I am afraid that now this cavalry unit has also torn the second line of the barbarian formation.
Although the barbarians of the second front were armed with weapons, the cavalry charge was likely to suffer some losses, but this loss was completely bearable for the great victory to be achieved.
Therefore, Yin's face at the moment is already a look of victory.
She smiled as the motorized infantry about fifty meters behind rushed into the dust and fog that obscured everything, and then it was time for them to expand their gains. I'm afraid that in a few minutes, the entire Great Red Fire Tribe will be plunged into a sea of fire, and at that time, it will naturally be the moment for her and Billy to make a move. Because even if it was such a well-prepared tactical raid, Silver did not despise Sean, who was from the same origin as herself, and she knew that only she could deal with this demon hunter swordsman.
But soon, the smile on Silver's face faded away, replaced by a blanket of doubt. Because the motorized infantry of the second echelon has been rushing into the dust and fog for several seconds, but the first echelon cavalry, which is the way to charge, has not rushed out of this dust fog at all, this situation is obviously wrong!
Suddenly, the wind rose.
The dust fog is finally beginning to dissipate.
But the doubts on Yin's face turned into a look of surprise and shock at this moment, and she was stunned at the door of the Great Red Fire Tribe.
There, the cavalry at the front had fallen several rows, except for the two frontmost rows of horses whose neck bones had been broken and the riders on horseback were thrown out of the air because of the force of the impact, and the riders from the third row were directly pierced by the javelins in the hands of the barbarians behind them, who until now, Silver had not seen as Northland barbarians.
Even the man and the horse were nailed directly to the ground!
The rows of cavalry in the rear and the more than 50 motorized infantry, but at this moment, because of the defeat in front, they collided one after another without being able to slow down, and all of them fell and fell on their backs. In this case, falling into this kind of virtue, for any veteran, this simply means the three words "live target", even if you throw a weapon with your eyes closed, you can easily smash and kill a piece of it.
As for the riders who crashed into the bear-man hoplites and flew out of the coffin, it was even more impossible for them to survive, because the place where they landed was in the encirclement of the bear-men. Before these people could get up from the ground, they had already been smashed into a mess of meat paste and meat pies by the giant hammer in the bear man's hand.
At this time, no matter how sluggish Silver was, he could still find that the formation of these bears was not hasty at all, but formed a staggered circle of two staggered circles. In the middle of these two staggered circles is a clearing, and the place where the riders who fell out of the air fell was in this clearing, and there were as many as thirteen bears around this clearing, and the most terrifying thing was that these thirteen bears happened to be able to perfectly cover the entire clearing.
It is precisely because of these thirteen bear people that this clearing has become a veritable circle of death!
Seeing that the tactics he had carefully laid out were actually destroyed by such a simple and crude way, and this kind of destruction was considered by himself a few minutes ago to be a tactic that was not self-sufficient to sacrifice in exchange for counterattack space, Silver's face was completely white.
She stared blankly at the battle situation at the gate of the Great Red Fire Tribe, which had become a veritable meat grinder battlefield at this moment, with more than one hundred and fifty cavalry and motorized infantry, and less than a hundred people survived at this moment, and among them, I don't even know how many people were injured. And this situation is still because the javelins in the hands of those barbarians have been thrown, otherwise I am afraid that the death toll will rise by another twenty or thirty people.
After a moment of silence, Silver finally let out a gaffe scream, "How is this possible! ”
"There's something wrong with those bear people's tower shields." After all, Billy is a true Golden Realm powerhouse, and the advantages formed by the strength of this realm are not immediately comparable to silver in other aspects, so he soon discovered the crux of the problem, "The tower shield in the hands of those bear people is like being rooted in the ground, and they only need to stand behind them and use their own gravity to top the tower shield in front of them, and they can form the most standard hoplite triad defense array." …… And you don't find that those tower shields are larger than the normal tower shield surface, so the impact will be weakened by one level again......"
Hearing Billy's words, Silver's pupils shrank suddenly, and he focused his attention, and sure enough, he found that there were cracks under the bear man's tower shield, which was indeed like rooting the tower shield on the ground.
In this way, each bear-man with such a tower shield is almost equivalent to three hoplites with a tower shield on top of each other!
The resistance formed by these bear men lined up at the front line, coupled with the narrow terrain at the entrance and exit of the Great Red Fire Tribe, unless the charging cavalry is also heavy infantry or uses extremely powerful people as the arrows of the charge, it is simply impossible to rely on the combined charging strength to break through this line of defense. What's more, once the momentum of the arrow is stopped, then the follow-up charge strength is not superimposed, but naked self-harm!
The current situation is like the waves crashing against the reef.
No matter how fierce the waves are, the reef will stand still! (To be continued......)
