Online Games Barbarism and Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 1325
Lu Chenguang originally thought that the Tauren heavy infantry could ignore the harassment of the Condor Empire wolf cavalry and walk to Xuchang directly in front of the opponent.
Even if all the wolf cavalry of the Condor Empire were equipped with hand crossbows, they could not stop the advance of the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps.
As a result, it was only after one night, Lu Chenguang realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.
On the night of camping in the wild, Lu Chenguang, Shui Ruyan, and the soldiers of the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps were tossed for a whole night, and until the sky lighted up, they could not sleep peacefully for a short while.
Although the wolf cavalry dared not directly attack the camp guarded by the tauren warriors, they would drop cold arrows into the camp from time to time.
Facing the cold arrows set by the wolf cavalry, the tauren warriors directly erected several circular shield walls with their shields to counter the cold arrows of the wolf cavalry.
After seeing the reaction of the tauren fighters, the wolf cavalry immediately changed their tactics.
They lit up piles of bonfires outside the tauren camp, and then kept throwing oil-soaked torches into the camp.
Under the powerful approach of the wolves, the torches of the wolf cavalry were thrown high and far, and many tents in the camp were lit by the torches.
Although the Tauren soldiers quickly extinguished the flames with ice and snow, no one dared to plug their ears and sleep in the tent anymore.
Because no one knows when their tent will be lit, no one wants to taste the taste of being burned by flames.
When the Tauren soldiers pulled out the cotton ball that blocked their ears, they were destined to sleepless this night.
Because from nightfall to dawn, the howling of wolves outside the camp has not been interrupted.
Thousands of wolves howled at the camp together, and no one could fall asleep safely at that decibel.
Sitting in the camp, listening to the howling of wolves outside, Lu Chenguang was extremely annoyed at this time.
He now regretted not bringing out the archers from Zhengzhou City.
Although those archers are a burden during the day, they can be used to defend the camp after night.
If there were a large number of archers in the camp at this time, the wolf cavalry outside the camp would definitely not dare to be so arrogant.
Under the deterrence of archers’ long-range firepower, those wolf cavalry dare not get too close to the camp.
The wolf cavalry dared not approach the camp, so they would not be able to harass them by arson as they do now.
Without the threat of arson, the tauren fighters can plug their ears and go to sleep with peace of mind.
Unlike the current situation, everyone is afraid to fall asleep easily, fearing that when the camp they are in will be unwarranted disaster.
……
Lu Chenguang thought that after dawn, the situation would get a little better. After all, the wolf cavalry outside had been with them all day and night, and had been tossing them all day and night.
Although the people in the camp didn’t close their eyes last night, they could at least sit there with their eyes closed and rested, unlike the wolf cavalry outside who kept tossing.
In a sense, they can be regarded as a kind of waiting for work with ease.
However, the sky was bright, and when Lu Chenguang saw the energetic wolf cavalry outside the camp, he was initially confused, and then immediately turned pale in shock.
At this time, even if he hadn’t rested all night, his head was still a little muddy, and Lu Chenguang knew that it was not the same wolf cavalry army that harassed them during the day and night.
After understanding the bad news, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan discussed it, and then immediately decided to march forward at any cost, and must complete the remaining seventy kilometers in one go.
Because both of them knew very well that if the wolf cavalry of the Condor Army were dragged down like this, the entire Tauren Legion might be completely dragged down because of the inability to get an effective rest.
Although most of the Tauren warriors did not fall asleep last night, they are after all a race that is known for endurance, and they cannot be knocked down without a rest one night.
Ever since, after eating breakfast, the Tauren Heavy Infantry Regiment embarked on the journey to Xuchang again.
This time, no matter how the wolf cavalry harassed them with crossbow arrows, the tauren fighters would not take care of them.
Before setting off, all the tauren warriors were tied to the sides of their heads with cotton cloth and splints to simply protect their heads.
In this way, although their vision will be greatly affected, the wolf cavalry’s inherently limited crossbow arrows can’t hurt their heads.
As for the other parts of the body exposed to the outside, it was all luck. Anyway, they have thick skin and thick flesh. As long as they are not shot at the vital point, they will all be stung by a big mosquito.
The method that Lu Chenguang came up with was very effective. Although many tauren fighters on the periphery were shot by crossbow arrows as a result, the skin trauma did not have much effect on the tauren fighters.
As a result, after ignoring the harassment of wolf cavalry with crossbow arrows, the marching speed of the Tauren Legion immediately increased.
Seeing that this continued, the enemy’s tauren army would be completely out of his control, and Wolf Wudi immediately sent a team of wolf cavalry to find support.
When the time came to noon and Lu Chenguang was riding a white horse and talking with Shui Ruyan, there was a commotion in front of the Tauren Army.
“What happened ahead?”
Seeing the advancing team suddenly stopped, Lu Chenguang instinctively asked.
“Report~~, to the General Marshal, a centaur of unknown origin suddenly appeared in front of our army.
After the centaur army appeared, it immediately began to throw javelins at our army.
In desperation, the soldiers in front of our army had no choice but to set up a shield formation for defense. ”
Just when the people around Lu Chenguang were all stunned, an elf warrior riding a war horse rushed back from the front, bringing Lu Chenguang a terrible news.
After listening to the report of the elf warrior, Lu Chenguang’s face immediately turned black.
What centaur army of unknown origin, isn’t that the centaur army hidden by the Condor Army?
The aboriginal elf warrior doesn’t know, can Lu Chenguang still know?
Facing the wolf cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang could march forward regardless of his disregard, but facing the centaur regiment of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang did not have the courage.
Because the specialty of the wolf cavalry corps is to use super mobile power to carry out surprise attacks, harassment and pursuit.
They are not good at attacking fortifications at all, and they are even less good at going head-to-head with arms such as heavy infantry.
The Centaur is different.
The Centaur not only possesses super-high mobility, but also possesses good armor-breaking ability. Javelins, large axes, and spears are their magic weapons for armor-breaking.
The Javelin directly turned the Centaur into a semi-ranged unit.
Using the speed of running forward, the javelin thrown by the centaur warrior sinks vigorously, and it can easily penetrate some weak shields and armor.
The long spear allows the centaur to have the ability to strike a battle array comparable to that of a heavy cavalry.
Taking advantage of its huge weight and the inertia to charge forward at high speed, the Centaur’s rushing ability is no worse than those of regular heavy cavalry.
After ordinary heavy cavalry rushed into the enemy’s formation, they must rush out as quickly as possible.
Because once they lose their speed, they will immediately fall into a heavy siege, and they will easily be thrown off the horse by the enemy, and then gang fights to death.
The centaur is different.
They are physically strong and powerful, and they are not afraid of any close hand-to-hand combat at all.
After losing their speed, they can quickly drop their spears and draw out their battle axes to continue fighting.
Facing the battle axe wielded by the centaur, the armor of the heavy infantry could not provide much protection at all.
Because the huge power will be directly transmitted into the body through the armor, damaging the inner abdomen, and even directly shaking people to death.
In the case of head-on combat, the Tauren heavy infantry is not afraid of the centaur.
But now Lu Chenguang and the others are rushing to Xuchang, and the state of the entire army is not very good.
So at this time, the appearance of the Centaur of the Condor Empire was like a bolt from the blue for Lu Chenguang and the others, directly driving them into a desperate situation.
“Order the army to stop advancing and deploy defense on the spot.”
Knowing that hard-breaking would definitely not work, Lu Chenguang immediately issued the order to defend on the spot.
After Lingbing left, Lu Chenguang looked at Shui Ruyan on the side, and after hesitating for a while, he said:
“President Shui, now the Centaur of the Condor Empire is in front of us.
Surrounded by these two enemy forces that are known for their mobility, it is impossible for us to safely cover the remaining 60 kilometers.
For the present plan, we can only hope that Li Yufeng will send an army to help us clear the siege.
But if you want to send out the distress message under the tight seal of the enemy, you can only dispatch the monster team under your command.
President Shui, we don’t have much time, please give an order! ”
As Lu Chenguang said, after they were blocked by the Centaur of the Condor Empire, if no one came to meet them, they would definitely not be able to walk the remaining 60 kilometers.
Because the Centaur of the Condor Empire can attack them anytime and anywhere.
If there is no complete defensive formation, they will easily be dissipated by the centaur, then divided and surrounded, and annihilated one by one.
Now the only one who can rescue them is Li Yufeng who has entered the Eastern Henan Plain.
Only when Li Yufeng led the army to rush over in time, they could escape.
However, the most critical question now is not whether Li Yufeng will come to rescue them, but how they will pass the news to Li Yufeng.
Send a squad of cavalry to break out of the ground?
Surrounded by wolf cavalry and centaur, this possibility is basically zero.
Send the owl messenger to the air channel to deliver the letter?
Not to mention that there are not many owl players here at all, even if there are, it is difficult to escape the air blockade of the Seraphim Warriors of the Condor Empire.
You can’t walk on the ground, and you can’t walk through the air. The only way left is a monster player with the ability to change.
Only they can break through the land and air blockade of the Condor Army and transmit the news.
The monster players under Lu Chenguang’s hands had long since died, and now only Shui Ruyan had a small team of monster players under his hands.
If you send these monster players out to deliver letters, many of them will die halfway, and only a few lucky ones will survive.
So Lu Chenguang was too embarrassed to directly order the monster players to deliver the letter. He could only find a way to persuade Shui Ruyan to give this order.
“Hey!”
After a light sigh, Shui Ruyan immediately ordered several players behind him: “Li Wei, you guys prepare for it, and immediately transform into a breakthrough in a minute.
Remember, don’t all fly in one direction, lest the enemy takes the opportunity to be swept away. ”
“Understood, President, I’m going to inform my brothers now.”
Li Wei turned and left.
……
A minute later, dozens of sparrows flew out of the Tauren Army camp.
After the sparrows lifted off, they immediately dispersed in all directions, in all directions.
After a group of sparrows flew out of Lu Chenguang’s army, dozens of black spots suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
As the black spots got bigger and bigger, people on the ground quickly recognized them, a group of eagles that didn’t know what species.
The eagle is the overlord of the sky and the natural enemy of all birds.
Suddenly there were so many eagles in the sky at this time, and I thought with my toes to know that it must be inseparable from the Condor Empire.
Soon, the eagles chased the sparrows who were incarnations of monster players in the air.
As the distance between the two approached, the eagles of unknown species suddenly began to spew thunder and lightning, and then the sparrows in front of them fell directly from the air to the ground.
These thunder-spitting eagles are the thunder eagles domesticated by the Condor Empire.
Although the attack power of Thunderhawks is very average, it is difficult to kill normal soldiers, but it couldn’t be easier to use them to deal with some birds.
After monster players transform into sparrows, their bodies are as fragile as real sparrows.
So when they are struck by the thunder and lightning spewed out by Thunder Eagle, they can basically go to reincarnation.
Looking at the sparrows (demon clan players) who had just lifted into the sky and were all killed in a blink of an eye, the faces of Shui Ruyan and Lu Chenguang did not show any disappointment.
Because the group of sparrows was a bait they deliberately released, just to attract the attention of the Condor Army.
When the attention of the Condor Army was all attracted by the sparrows in the sky, a snow-white little mouse sneaked out from under the feet of the tauren warrior.
When the sparrow decoy was chased by Thunder Eagle, the little mouse successfully broke through the blockade of the Centaur, and then turned into a white bird and flew straight into the western forest.
Since the mice and birds of the monster player incarnation are all snow-white ~www.mtlnovel.com~, if you don’t know in advance to pay attention to it, it is basically difficult to catch his trace inadvertently.
It was the Seraphim scout who was most likely to find him in the sky.
However, after swarms of sparrow bait took the initiative to fly out to attract attention, even the Seraphim scout estimated that it would be difficult to spot him.
After the cover work was completed, Shui Ruyan and Lu Chenguang then ordered to camp and deploy in place to wait.
They had no other choice but to wait, and they could only hope that the only seed that escaped could safely find Li Yufeng and inform each other that they were trapped.
After discovering that the enemy had started camping on the spot, the Centaur hurried over to intercept them immediately chose to leave.
They retreated to a place two kilometers away from the tauren camp and set up camp. It seemed that they didn’t want to let the tauren army easily let go.
