Online Games Barbarism and Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 1313
Woo~~~~~~~~
With the sound of the melodious horn being sounded in the winter, a team of centaur warriors armed with large axes began to step on the frozen ice of the Yellow River.
The centaur team is very messy, they directly cover several kilometers of ice.
Behind the centaur are countless naive Baikal seals.
The centaur army opened the way for them in the front, and they used their breath in the rear to keep building smooth ice roads forward.
Behind the Baikal Seal Corps are giant trebuchets lined up.
These trebuchets are new counterweight trebuchets newly developed by the Craftsman Department of the Condor Empire.
These new trebuchets not only have a longer range, but they are also very mobile.
In winter, their bottom can be equipped with huge ice skates specially used to slide on the ice.
In other seasons, they can be fitted with sturdy wheels that are easy to push at the bottom.
In addition to the dwarf engineers responsible for manipulating the trebuchets, there is also a large group of Baikal seals ready to be on call at any time in the trebuchet phalanx.
The biggest drawback of the trebuchet in the past was that it was extremely laborious to move, and as long as it was close to the enemy, it would be easily destroyed.
Although the new counterweight catapult of the Condor Empire still has this defect, in winter, after having the Baikal Seal, a cute little who can make ice hockey at any time, they have a new ability-mobile Shooting.
With the aid of ice skates, the trebuchet can move back and forth on the flat ice.
As long as an enemy appears, they can stop immediately, and then let the Baikal seals following the trebuchet congeal an ice ball.
In this way, they can launch an ice hockey rain blow to the enemy immediately after the enemy enters the range.
Of course, the trebuchet phalanx still needs protection from its own army in front.
Only when the army can intercept the enemies that it wants to approach, can the trebuchet phalanx continuously strike at the enemies in range.
Those centaur troops who set foot on the ice of the Yellow River first are the guardians of the Baikal seals and the trebuchet phalanx. The enemy must first break through their level if they want to get close to the trebuchet phalanx.
……
After learning that the Condor Army on the other side of the Yellow River began to cross the river, Xiong Dashi led a group of generals from the Great Stone Kingdom to a high ground immediately, and then began to observe the specific actions of the Condor Army with binoculars.
Xiong Dashi didn’t care too much about the centaur army that was walking in the forefront, because in close hand-to-hand combat, his bear guards had not been afraid of anyone.
But when he saw the large white-gray Baikal seal behind the centaur, his face immediately became very ugly.
As the Baikal seals, which are only a kind of food in Xiong Dashi’s eyes, kept moving forward pupa on the ice, the originally uneven ice surface immediately began to flatten.
Looking at the giant trebuchets lined up on the north bank of the Yellow River, Xiong Dashi immediately guessed what the Condor Army wanted to do.
“Uncle, the Condor Army wants to use the army to cover the trebuchet to attack us!
If the Condor Army successfully transports those tall slings, we will be quite passive whether it is defensive or offensive. ”
Not only Xiong Dashi saw this, but his nephew Xiong Xiaoguang also saw it.
“Xiaoguang, what countermeasures did you think of?” Xiong Dashi asked.
“Uncle, I think we should take the initiative to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.
We can use the height difference between the banks of the Yellow River and the river surface to beat the centaur army that wants to cross the river.
The width of the section of the Yellow River where the Condor Army crosses the river is about 300 meters.
Three hundred meters is also the maximum range of the catapult.
So we can completely guard the river bank on our side and prevent the centaur from coming ashore.
When we were fighting with the enemy centaur, the enemy’s trebuchets were afraid to launch casually, because they would accidentally injure their own people.
If the enemy’s centaur retreats, we will also retreat and exit the effective range of the enemy’s catapult.
If the enemy pushes the catapult onto the ice of the Yellow River to cover the centaur ashore, then we will just take the opportunity to rush down and destroy all the enemy’s catapult.
Without the threat of those trebuchets, we will be able to fight the next war.
At that time, whether we are head-on with the enemy in the wild or defending Jinan City, we will all have the right to choose.
Without the trebuchet, the Condor Army could not fight us in a siege. ”
Xiong Xiaoguang talked eloquently, gaining a direct insight into the real weakness of the Condor Army.
After listening to Xiong Xiaoguang’s analysis, Xiong Dashi kept nodding.
His nephew finally did not live up to his careful cultivation. This time, the two of them wanted to go together.
“According to our military order, the army immediately went to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent the centaur from coming ashore.”
Considering that the centaur army sent by the Condor Army was large in number and the line it pulled was very long, Xiong Dashi didn’t dare to save his strength and directly chose to go all out.
Following Xiong Dashi’s order, the most elite Bear Guards in the Dashi Kingdom immediately began to move towards the bank of the Yellow River.
In the cognition of Xiong Dashi and Xiong Xiaoguang’s uncles and nephews, the next picture should be the bear guards of the Dashi Kingdom and the centaur of the Condor Army fighting on the river bank.
Facing the heavily armed Bear Guards Corps, those centaur troops rushing to the river bank should be driven down soon.
Next, the Bear Guards will lay a steel line of defense on the shore with a huge shield in their hands, firmly suppressing the Condor Army on the ice.
This uncle and nephew thought beautifully, but what happened next made them suddenly surprised.
When the soldiers of the Bear Guards rushed toward the river bank, the centaur on the ice did not rush forward, grabbing control of the river bank with them, but continued to walk forward unhurriedly.
Seeing the enemy’s centaur army still crawling on the ice like a snail, Xiong Dashi’s brows suddenly frowned.
However, before he thought about why the enemy didn’t grab the high ground on the river bank with them, the giant trebuchets on the other side of the river that had not moved yet had already launched a throwing attack.
In the horrified and unbelievable gazes of Xiong Dashi and others, countless hockey pucks roared across the sky, and then directly landed in the team of the Bear Guards marching toward the river bank.
“This is impossible. Shouldn’t the farthest range of the trebuchet be about 300 meters?”
Seeing a piece of ice hockey flying over a distance of five or six hundred meters and falling into the ranks of our own army, it hit hundreds of soldiers of the Ursa Guards at once. Xiong Dashi’s face was full of horror. At this moment, he was completely Panicked.
“Uncle, what do you do now?
Shall we withdraw the army immediately? ”
The war had only just begun, and they were hit head-on, and Xiong Xiaoguang suddenly became utterly innocent.
“Chu said that our army ordered that the whole army charged directly to the other side of the Yellow River. Today we must destroy all those **** trebuchets.”
As the founder of the Dashi Kingdom, Xiong Dashi has experienced many battles, so he quickly regained his composure.
After regaining his head to calm down, Xiong Dashi has already analyzed the most suitable tactics for them.
If the army is now ordered to retreat, it is indeed possible to temporarily stop the loss, but it will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Because if they withdrew from the attack range of the Condor Army trebuchets, it would be equivalent to giving up the entire Yellow River bank to the Condor Army.
After the Condor Army deploys a solid defense on the river bank, they will have plenty of time to transport those trebuchets with ultra-long range.
At that time, whether it is defensive or active offense, they will still be attacked by the trebuchets of the Condor Army.
Xiong Dashi knew very well in his heart that in order to crush the Condor Army’s winter offensive, they must destroy all the trebuchets that threatened them, otherwise they would have no hope of winning.
And under the key guardianship of the Condor Army, it is not easy for them to get close to those trebuchets.
However, nothing is absolute, because now there is a great opportunity before them.
In order to cover the Baikal seals to build the ice road, the Centaur of the Condor Army were very scattered, and their fronts stretched very long.
Behind the centaur are the Baikal seals that can only serve as food and have no lethality.
The trebuchet position of the Condor Army is now just on the shore of the north bank of the Yellow River.
If his Bear Guards can break through the defenses of those centaur troops, then the trebuchet positions of the Condor Army will be immediately exposed to their attacks.
Now there is only the Centaur Legion between the Eagle Army’s trebuchet positions and them. This is definitely a golden opportunity for them who are determined to destroy those who have super long-range trebuchets.
It is precisely because of this analysis that Xiong Dashi will decisively issue the order for the entire army to charge.
He wanted to take advantage of the underestimation of the Condor Army to beat the Condor Army by surprise. It would be best to take this opportunity to directly inflict this proud Condor Army, and destroy the trebuchets that threatened them no matter what.
……
The Condor Army was suddenly shocked by the assault of the entire army launched by the Dashi Kingdom as soon as it came up.
They didn’t seem to expect that the enemy would kill them when they came up, so they suddenly seemed a little flustered.
The first panic was the Baikal Seal Corps, which was building an ice tunnel on the ice.
After discovering that the enemy was launching a full charge, the druids who were shocked immediately commanded the Baikal seals to flee to both sides.
After spotting the Baikal seals who were repairing the road behind them, they ran away for an instant, the centaur on the ice immediately began to hesitate.
They didn’t know whether they should continue to advance, or defend in place, or immediately retreat to the front of the trebuchet positions to guard the precious trebuchets.
But when the two legions in front ran and hesitated, the trebuchet positions that had just been fully fired had already stopped their throwing attacks.
The dwarf engineers directly pulled up the rope tied to the bottom of the catapult, and began to pull the catapult back with great effort.
After seeing the series of reactions from the Condor Army, Xiong Dashi strengthened his judgment.
In order to boost the morale of the army, and strive to be able to severely damage the Eagle Army in one fell swoop, Xiong Dashi directly took his bodyguard to join the assault team.
He wants to go with his own driver and personally use the battle axe to wash away the humiliation brought to him by the Condor Empire during this time.
Seeing that Xiong Dashi was personally dressed up in battle, Xiong Xiaoguang and others were no longer able to watch the battle from the rear, and they also took up weapons and followed Xiong Dashi.
When the soldiers of the Bear Guards Corps running in the forefront rushed onto the ice along the river bank, the centaur soldiers in the middle of the ice finally reacted.
They drew their javelins from behind one after another, and then threw them at the enemies who rushed over.
The soldiers of the Bear Guards Corps held shields and wore heavy armor. In addition, they were rough and thick skinned, so this wave of javelin throws by the centaur soldiers did not cause them much trouble.
After discovering that the javelin rain could not injure the enemy, the centaur soldiers immediately panicked.
They didn’t seem to want to fight hand-to-hand with the big bear-man heavy infantry, so they all immediately turned around and started running back.
At this time, the advantages of the four legs are fully revealed.
Although the ice is a bit slippery, the speed of the centaur warriors is far faster than those of the bear-man heavy infantry in heavy armor.
So the distance between the two was quickly opened.
The centaur’s active retreat immediately caused the morale of the orc army in the Great Stone Kingdom to soar. All the orc warriors couldn’t help letting out roars, and then went straight to the trebuchets that were being pulled back.
No matter how slow the bear-man heavy infantry is, it is far faster than the trebuchet pulled by the dwarves~www.mtlnovel.com~ As the distance between the two continues to shrink, everyone in the Great Stone Kingdom has all eyes. It lights up, because in a little while, no one can stop them from destroying those **** trebuchets.
However, just when the warriors of the Great Stone Kingdom thought they had a chance to win, a large group of tauren warriors carrying huge totem poles suddenly appeared on the north side of the slow-moving trebuchets.
The soldiers of the Great Stone Kingdom thought that the sudden appearance of the Tauren army was to cover the retreat of the trebuchet, but the next action of the opponent made them a little confused for a while.
The tauren fighters in between suddenly stopped advancing when they were nearly 100 meters away from the trebuchet.
Then all the tauren warriors shouted while smashing the huge totem pole in their hands to the ground.
One click, two clicks, three clicks,…
The tauren warriors seemed to be full and smashed the totem pole to the ground, then lifted it, and then smashed it to the ground again, repeating the cycle.
