Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 394

The battle lasted from morning to evening, from the prairie to the Horqin Sandy Land.

The battlefield was full of corpses, human corpses, elves, orcs, war horses, and wolf corpses scattered all over the place.

These corpses were densely covered on the prairie, and the blood flowing out dyed the prairie and sandy land bright red.

The Condor Army successfully broke through the formation of the orc army with the assault of the three thousand dwarf bear knights, and then used the front and back flanking tactics to defeat the orc quick-reaction army in one fell swoop.

The army of more than two hundred thousand orcs, except for the owl warriors who escaped less than sixty thousand, was wiped out.

Although the Condor Army successfully smashed the conspiracy of the Eagle Hoof Empire, the cavalry regiments who participated in the war also paid a considerable price.

More than 9,000 people were killed in the battle of 100,000 light cavalry, and 15,000 were seriously injured.

Most of the seriously injured human light cavalry were injured by the owl warrior who had taken off their horses. Their luck was better, and they were not trampled by their own subsequent cavalry.

The dwarf knights of the dwarf blizzard knights did not suffer any casualties. The reason why this happened was entirely because the bears under their hips were too fierce.

Facing the violent earth brown bears and polar ice bears, the werewolves instinctively chose to avoid them after losing. They would rather face the knight guns of the human cavalry than these violent behemoths.

The dwarf knights used ropes to fix themselves on the saddles before the battle, in order to ensure that they would not be thrown off by the giant bears during the battle, plus they wore heavy armor, so as long as they were under the crotch If the giant bear is still alive, they have a high chance of being able to survive.

After cleaning the battlefield and refurbishing the site overnight, Bai Yutang left 20,000 light cavalry and 20,000 elf archers to take care of the wounded. Then he and Dybala took the remaining cavalry along the edge of the Horqin Sandy Land. Go north.

……

When Bai Yutang led the army to fight the orc army, Ning Yuan led the army to the edge of Horqin Sandy Land.

At the last supply station, there was a meeting with the elven archers who were performing the sweeping mission. After a day of repairing in place, Ning Yuan took half a million cavalry into the Horqin Sandy Land.

Facing the Condor Army from afar, Li Tianqi and the others had already lined up the battlefield, waiting for work.

They occupied a high ground on the sand, and the 700,000 army was mighty, like a giant dragon, stretching for dozens of kilometers.

Seeing the enemy occupying the high ground and condescending, Ning Yuan signaled that the army stopped and began to line up, and then handed over the command to James.

Seeing that the Condor Army had stopped a few kilometers away, Li Tianqi and others did not choose to preemptively, but waited for the Condor Army to take the initiative to attack.

They want to take advantage of the terrain to give the Condor Army a disarm.

Although the sand dunes are not very high, and the slope is still very gentle, but for the cavalry, it is still very disadvantageous for the cavalry to charge up from the slope.

Seeing that the enemy stood still and wanted to wait for his own initiative to attack, James immediately began to dispatch troops.

“The heavy cavalry carried out the main attack according to plan B, and the elven archers were responsible for covering the two wings.”

Following James’ order, Ning Yuan led the 20,000 heavy cavalry and slowly walked towards the enemy.

Seeing the heavy cavalry coming for a walk on their horses, Li Tianqi and others looked at each other immediately.

“Doesn’t the heavy cavalry rely on speed? Who can tell me the impact of this walking speed? Why can’t I understand it?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t heard of such a heavy cavalry, but isn’t it good? At least don’t worry about being pierced by the heavy cavalry.”

“Yeah, anyway, we are now occupying Gaopo, and we can cope with all the changes. Since we don’t understand, let’s take a look first to see what they want to do.”

……

Just when everyone in the Skywind Alliance looked confused, the 20,000 heavy cavalry had already reached a place two kilometers away from them.

“Dismount, hold on, line up.”

Following Ning Yuan’s order, the 10,000 heavy cavalry in front immediately descended to the ground, and they quickly formed a huge phalanx with weapons measuring four meters in length.

This four-meter long weapon that resembles a spear is called 槊 or horse 槊.

Ma 槊 was a famous noble weapon in the cold weapon era. Because its manufacturing process is very complicated, it takes three or four years to make a qualified horse 槊, so it cannot be bought with money.

After Ning Yuan obtained Ma Jian’s manufacturing drawings, he immediately handed it over to the craftsmen group under him.

After more than five years, the craftsmen of the artisan group finally produced 10,000 qualified horses.

Don’t look at the number of 10,000, which seems to be a lot, but if you understand the success rate, then you can know how difficult this kind of weapon is to build.

The craftsmen of the Condor Empire built a total of 40,000 horses, but 30,000 failed to build, and the success rate was only a pitiful 25%. This shows how difficult this weapon is. Made.

The application of horses was most popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because its stems were soft and flexible, and the weight was relatively light, the Zhanger’s long horses were about the same weight as the seven or eight-foot carbine, so the knights could rush into battle with one hand.

The elasticity of the bar also ensures that the horse can bend after stabbing the target to release the impulse generated by the high-speed impact without hurting the knight’s wrist. Therefore, this long, flexible and very light horse can, It is simply a weapon for riding and warfare.

Of course, Ma Li can also exert great power in foot combat.

As the old saying goes, the spear is long and the eighth is 槊, and the horse 槊 can also be used as a long spear in foot combat.

Because the heavy infantry moved slowly, Ning Yuan did not take them on this expedition.

However, considering the use of heavy cavalry to restrain light cavalry in frontal combat, Ning Yuancai and James and others have developed a tactic that allows the heavy cavalry to dismount and make a temporary guest appearance on the heavy cavalry.

Although the heavy cavalry charge is powerful, if the enemy sets some traps against unprotected horse legs, they will easily be caught.

The heavy infantry is different. They are invulnerable, and the light cavalry has no other way than flying kites.

Now that the enemy occupies the high ground, the Condor Army will suffer a lot if it charges from bottom to top, so James will let Ning Yuan execute Plan B and use the heavy cavalry as a guest heavy infantry to attack the high ground.

Facing the four-meter-long Macha jungle, the enemy can only take the initiative to attack if they don’t want to sit still.
