Throne of Vientiane Civilization
Chapter 928 Unconventional Cavalry
On horseback, Zhou Chongshan's archery skills were amazing.
The one he shot down should be the officer on the opposite side. After the opponent was engulfed by the rat tide, the remaining giant rat knights were obviously in a brief chaos.
But after the chaos, the entire offensive did not stop.
Maintaining the previous state, Zhou Chongshan shot the bow frantically, and from time to time, he even performed the skills of double shooting and even continuous arrows, in order to allow himself to shoot the giant rat knight faster.
Maintaining this archery rhythm, the arrows Zhou Chongshan carried were soon consumed.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the side hurriedly handed over their quivers.
Compared with their commander, it was a waste to keep these arrows in his hands.
After sending the quiver, he did not stay in the middle row for long, and rushed directly to the front row to cooperate with his comrades in the front row to resist the surrounding rat tide and cover the middle row.
Seeing this, other soldiers around followed suit.
Zhou Chongshan rolled his eyes in his heart.
Fortunately, he is now in the Hundred Refining Realm, and his physical fitness has greatly improved. Otherwise, if it were the previous high-frequency continuous bow shooting, he would have been overwhelmed.
During this process, the giant rat knights on the opposite side undoubtedly realized the power of Zhou Chongshan's mobile sniper, and immediately changed their action mode.
In a blink of an eye, some giant rat knights had moved to their middle row to launch a surprise attack.
Faced with this situation, the front-line cavalry who were responsible for the cover mission were not vegetarians, and immediately launched support.
But at the same time, it also made the whole situation more and more chaotic.
Zhou Chongshan, who noticed this, hurriedly shouted...
"Pay attention to maintain the charge formation!!"
For heavy armored cavalry like them, charging requires a single-shot momentum.
Once they lose speed in the enemy formation, it will be difficult to charge again, especially when facing such a high-density rat tide.
Facing the attack of the giant rat knights, launching support and protecting the middle row who were bending their bows and arrows was completely a subconscious reaction of the soldiers, but this directly led to the formation of a chaotic battle.
By the time Zhou Chongshan realized the problem, there was no room for turning back.
And this was probably exactly what the Giant Rat Knights were aiming for!
Without giving them a chance to think, the Giant Rat Knights quickly formed an encirclement, risking casualties and launching a wave of attacks directly at them, completely disrupting their formation.
On the battlefield, the battle started, and the Iron Cavalry, which gradually lost its momentum, quickly lost speed. The surrounding rat tide was like sharks that smelled blood at this moment, rushing up immediately, trying to devour them!
The Ratman Slave Soldiers, who had basically posed no threat to them in the charge state, have now become their biggest obstacle!
Faced with the drastic change in the situation, Zhou Chongshan resolutely changed his weapon back to a saber and responded with the cleanest and most neat slash.
The Ratman Slave Soldiers who were besieging him were basically vulnerable in front of him.
But what can he do?
The situation is completely different from that of the regular army. The number of Ratman Slave Soldiers is really too large.
Just rely on their 500 trap camps to kill one by one? Even if they kill until their hands are tired, they can't kill them all.
Looking at the rats who have surrounded them, Zhou Chongshan suddenly had a bold idea.
"Everyone listen to the order, raise your shields and dismount! Protect the horses to the middle of the formation! Form a sword and shield formation to meet the attack!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the trap camp did not hesitate and immediately executed it.
In the blink of an eye, the trap camp, which was still a heavy cavalry a moment ago, seamlessly switched to heavy armored infantry the next moment!
The biggest advantage of cavalry lies in mobility and the powerful destructive power formed when launching a group charge!
In the current situation, facing the rat tide that completely trapped them, these two advantages as cavalry have nowhere to play, and even become a limitation for their fight with the rat tide.
Now that they have dismounted their horses and stepped on the ground, facing the surging rat tide, they fight side by side with swords and shields. After a round of slashing, it is actually much smoother than when they were riding on horseback before.
During the period, they encountered the giant rat knights who rushed over, and they were not panicked at all.
According to their human standards, the giant rat knights of the rat people are lighter than light cavalry.
And they are also very special unconventional cavalry.
The core of conventional cavalry is group charge, but the giant rat knights do not have this thing at all.
After several rounds of fighting, they have clearly felt that the core of the giant rat knights is sneak attack!
They used the rat tide as cover, scattered, mixed in the rat tide, waited for an opportunity to move, and sneak attacked the target.
This combat style destined them to be unable to use attack methods such as group charge. The surprise attack depends entirely on the explosive power formed by the giant rat mounts.
And this explosive power is not so easy to directly break through the square formation of heavy armored infantry!
Not to mention that in the square formation of the trap camp, there is also Zhou Chongshan, a general in the Hundred Refining Realm, who can check for leaks at any time.
In the center of the rat tide, the trap camp headed by Zhou Chongshan quickly stabilized its position.
But this alone is definitely not enough.
According to the scale of the rat tide on this battlefield, it is more than enough to kill them. The most important thing now is to break the deadlock.
However, the key to breaking the deadlock at this time is not in themselves.
Maintaining the battle formation, the trap camp headed by Zhou Chongshan seemed to have taken root in that area and would not leave.
As they continued to hack and kill, the bodies of the ratmen piled up more and more under their feet.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and the crowded rat tide in front of them was quickly pushed away by a force.
Then, the velociraptors led by Tash directly broke into their field of vision.
"This is too slow."
Looking at Tash rushing in, Zhou Chongshan, who was also an old comrade, couldn't help but complain and immediately gave an order.
"Everyone get on the horse!"
Tash was speechless about this.
Originally, he only needed to lead the velociraptors to happily sweep the periphery.
At that time, on the battlefield, the ratmen's concentrated fire targets were completely focused on the trap camp, which made Tash and his men act without much pressure.
Who would have thought that the trap cavalry would have a day of overturning?
If Zhou Chongshan knew what Tash was thinking at this moment, he would definitely say that this was prejudice!
Although the heavy armored cavalry is strong in combat, their weaknesses are also very clear. Once they are targeted, their combat effectiveness will be limited.
Of course, it is mainly because the scale of the rat tide is too large. If it were a normal human army, they would have been defeated by them in one blow! How could there be any follow-up?
This situation made Zhou Chongshan wonder if this rat tide was a bit incompatible with them.
Compared with them as heavy armored cavalry, perhaps it would be easier to fight if they were replaced by light cavalry.
