Chapter 14 Trampling

"Hurry up and organize a defense." Masamoto Matsumoto loudly ordered the second array to form a defensive formation. This detachment was originally the main force used by Matsumoto Masaga to participate in strangulation battles in official battles. It has a relatively large number of people and high-quality soldiers. However, unfortunately, this unit is not used to resist cavalry attacks. The current situation It can be said to be very disadvantageous.

The heavy cavalry was running faster and faster. RB players felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't find what was wrong. Anyway, they just felt that something was wrong. Seeing the heavy cavalry rushing to the original position of the forward camp amidst the rumble of horse hooves, it now looks like an overgrown grassland, but these "grasses" were just planted by the Japanese archers. The arrow shafts inserted diagonally could not hinder the galloping of the war horses, and the cavalry continued to charge forward without slowing down.

The corpses of Japanese soldiers from the forward battalion were lying all over the ground. The land was completely soaked with blood. The heavy cavalry ran over and immediately trampled the originally damp grass into red mud. , mud with the smell of blood splashed everywhere with the horse's hooves, but the array of heavenly soldiers continued to attack without being affected at all.

After the cavalry passed through the vanguard camp, the low-level god general of the heavenly soldiers who took the lead drew out his sword and pointed forward: "Thunder Impact."

"To level the enemy's formation!" the people behind responded neatly, causing the Japanese front line on the opposite side to shake.

The slogans used by the cavalry during the charge can inspire the morale of one's own people, and at the same time can deter the enemy's morale. Just now, the morale of the Japanese defense line was shaken. Just a few seconds of shaking would cause a fatal flaw to appear. The Japanese army's newly formed forward was already a bit 'chaotic', and this shock made it even worse. The cavalry arrived before the shield bearer's shield was in place. As a result, the demoralized infantry lowered their heads and used their shields to block their eyes. The NPCs were a little better, but some of the players were actually paralyzed with fear. They fell into small square formations all at once, feeling like bald men.

"Throw armor." The vanguard of the cavalry formation suddenly shouted. RB players didn't understand what it meant for a while. Although RB players with the translation system turned on could understand Chinese, they didn't have time to understand.

They don't understand it, but our cavalry can understand it. This tactical training has been practiced many times, and the Heavenly Soldiers have long been familiar with it. I saw the cavalry pulling and pushing on the metal handle behind the neck of the war horse. With a crash, all the heavy armor on the war horse collapsed and flew out. Only a layer of golden vine soft armor and steel armor were left on the Pegasus. All scattered.

Just as the armor landed on the ground, the forward of the Pegasus group was already in contact with the Japanese army. The Pegasus in the front row stepped on the shield of the RB shield man. Using their shields as stepping stones and flying into the air, the cavalry did not hit the Japanese army's newly formed spear and shield array, but flew over their heads. Heavy cavalry is a bluff, but air cavalry is the real thing. Heavenly soldiers are matched with heavenly horses. Only those who have water in their heads will use them as heavy cavalry. With such a high attack power and such high mobility, it would be a waste not to use it as a deception unit, right?

The cavalry brigade suddenly flew up and stunned the Japanese. The expected impact did not happen. The cavalry all rushed over their heads. The shield hand stood up stupidly. In the anti-impact formation, the shield hand must ensure a lower center of gravity to ensure maximum defense. But now the shield hand has forgotten this because he continues to squat there. It will only be used as a stepping stone.

Just after these shield bearers stood up, another accident happened, and there was a sudden scream. The shield bearer at the front was blown away by a huge force, and then more people flew up. Rows of cavalry appeared in front of the crowd and began to crush the phalanx of soldiers.

In war, there is no rule that the cavalry formation must use one type of cavalry charge. No one can say anything if I mix the real heavy cavalry and the fake air cavalry. The Pegasus troops suddenly took off and rushed over the enemy's head. As a result, the Japanese army habitually thought that these were all air cavalry. Who knew that half of the cavalry was air cavalry, and the other half were real heavy armored cavalry, the most destructive Knights of Order in the industry. This is a newly acquired army. It is my first time to go into battle and I didn’t expect the effect to be so good. The knights of the Knights of Order are all fallen angels, and their mounts are the best nightmare horses. These nightmares are not as high level as Yeying, do not have a horn on their head, and are slightly smaller in size. But they are still stronger than ordinary war horses. Not only is it fast and powerful, but it also knows several very practical little magics, among which stun and eye of confusion are the most famous. Stun magic is a contact magic, which can be understood as being knocked unconscious. The person touched by it will be stunned for a short period of time, usually no more than five seconds, but a five-second stun on the battlefield is enough to be fatal. As for the Eye of Chaos, this move specifically defeats mages and archers. You can use your eyes to cause the spell to fail or the arrow to 'shoot' off target. The overall performance is a disruptive attack.

The Knight of Order is a full-body conjoined armor, and the lower half of the armor is connected to the mount. Even if the knight dies in battle, he will not fall off his horse. The protective armor of the nightmare horse is thicker than that of the knight. These guys are as strong as bulls anyway, no matter how heavy they are, they are not afraid. The armors of all war horses have small sickle-like blades on the sides, and there are sharp spring steel thorns under the hooves of the war horses. When looking at people, there will be several holes when you step on them, which can prevent slipping when stepping on mud. When it hits a stone or hard object, the steel spike spring will be automatically pressed back into the groove due to excessive pressure and will not break. These things are the most powerful offensive weapons for war horses to kill enemies. They can cut hooks with sickles and trample them with nail palms, all of which can kill people.

Immediately after the knights rushed into the Japanese camp, there was a rain of blood flying more fiercely than the steel claw formation. The high-speed charging horses rushed past the enemy, and the sickle-shaped blades on both sides cut off the enemy's waist. Those who were brought down would be The iron hooves of the horses behind him made holes all over his body, and finally turned into mud. As for those directly in front of the impact route, they usually become trapezes.

The impact of the heavy cavalry brigade was too violent, and the actual effect was much more exaggerated than I expected. Blood and flesh were everywhere along the way, and screams continued. Normally, the heavy cavalry will first be blocked and shot by the enemy's wizards and archers on the offensive route. Before reaching the enemy's position, they usually have lost about one-tenth of their personnel, and there will also be some injured people. When in contact with the enemy, the first thing you should face is the shield formation and spear forest that have been prepared for a long time. Seventy percent of the casualties in the cavalry charge occurred on this front line of defense. Once this hole is opened, the people behind will be attacked. The loss is minimal. It can be said that heavy cavalry is the natural enemy of infantry. The only thing they fear is the mixed defense line of shields and spears. Moreover, this first line of defense will greatly reduce the speed of cavalry attack. Cavalry relies on speed. Without speed, there is no advantage. It is really dangerous. But today is different from the past. Our air cavalry took off first. They are not just used to bluff people. If they really want to bluff people, I will not let the air cavalry and heavy cavalry in the cavalry team be evenly matched. These air cavalry did play tricks to deceive the Japanese army, but their real job was to deal with the group of archers and mages behind them.

The second line of defense established by Matsumoto Masa was deceived as soon as it came up, and the shield formation did not work. The archers had been taken care of in advance, and were now being chased by the air cavalry and running around the entire battlefield. The two most taboo threats of heavy cavalry did not appear. As a result, our heavy cavalry rushed into the crowd at a much faster speed than normal. The blades originally hung on the war horses and designed to increase the lethality became more terrifying, drawing them from the crowd. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. The chaotic camp had no blocking effect, and the heavy cavalry rushed past without slowing down, taking with them countless flesh and blood.

The Japanese archers were all behind the position. They should have been very safe under the cover of the people in front. Fortunately, the air cavalry fell directly into their crowd. Archers only have soft armor, so their defense power is naturally not high, and bows and arrows are not suitable for close combat. Most archers have daggers for self-defense, but these are of little use now. Because the air cavalry dispatched this time used hook and sickle guns.

There are three types of earthly and heavenly soldiers in our guild, namely long sword soldiers, rune archers, and hook and sickle spear soldiers, among which hook and sickle spear soldiers are the most numerous. The hook-and-scythe guns in the hands of these hook-and-scythe spearmen have a two-meter-long metal handle, and there is a sword-hilt-like handle at the end of the gun. Just turn the handle to disengage the gun body, and the chain inside will automatically spread out. After that, the hook and sickle gun will turn into a chain knife more than eight meters long. The sickle at the head of the gun can be used as a throwing knife, and it can be pulled back at any time. If It can also be used as a whip when dancing.

rb The archer immediately drew out his dagger out of habit when he saw the enemy approaching. Then he found that his opponent was holding a weapon more than two meters long and didn't know what to do. Archers versus air cavalry, nothing but massacre is massacre. There is no second possibility. The air cavalry is too fast, and the archers cannot take advantage of their only advantage in close combat. It is also impossible to fight at a distance, because the air cavalry is too fast, and they only have one shot before they rush forward. The problem is that this opportunity is still there. It was wasted because heavy cavalry suddenly became empty cavalry.

The heavy cavalry in the front was attacking, and the air cavalry in the back was massacring. Matsumoto's eyes were twitching when he saw it. "Enter the mage formation. Large area of ​​magic coverage."

The mage has an advantage in this kind of melee. Most magic has its own judgment of friend and foe, so it will not hurt your own people. So you can throw it casually during melee. Matsumoto Masahiro congratulated the mage group who was mobilized in a panic and threw out a large area of ​​magic without any worries. However, unexpectedly, the performance of the mage group was loud and clear. When the collective magic was being used, Masamoto Matsumoto clearly heard the mage captain yelling: "Meteor and fire shower." This magic is very famous, and everyone knows how effective it is. Immediately after the spell was cast, rolling red clouds appeared in the sky, and then there was a loud rumbling sound above the clouds. Everyone knew that the next step was for a large number of flaming meteorites to fall from the sky and turn the valley in front of them into a sea of ​​fire. But the result was a large number of small goose-feather-like fireballs falling from the sky. The area of ​​the entire valley is many times larger than a normal meteor shower, but this power...?

Masamoto Matsumoto stared blankly at the sky. Shota Tanaka next to him stretched out a hand to catch a ball of fire. The small fireball went out as soon as it touched his hand. Shota Tanaka's hand just shook. He stretched out the remaining bit of ashes in his hand to the leader of the mage group: "Can you explain what's going on?"

"Eh... this... I don't know what's going on." The leader of the mage group said depressedly: "I feel like the magic was used successfully. It shouldn't be like this!"

"Then what do you think this is?" Tanaka Shota twisted some ashes and asked: "Is this the meteor shower? Although the magic can be judged as friend or foe, the pain is still the same. I just felt a heat in the palm of my hand. It went out without even feeling hot. Is this the combined magic of more than five hundred of you? The fireballs thrown by the magic apprentices are not that weak, right?"

In fact, this group leader was really wronged, but it was us, not Masamoto Matsumoto, who knew that he was wronged. In our army's position, a strange altar was placed on a beautifully shaped giant carriage. At this time, red flames were burning around the altar. These flames are like blowouts. The flame was more than four meters high and looked so powerful that I thought it was a big gas nozzle. In fact, this thing should be called the Xuanming Chariot. It is one of the rewards from heaven. Its function is to hinder magic.

The magic used by those RB mages just now is indeed very powerful, but this Xuanming Chariot absorbs all the magic energy into itself and turns it into this erupting flame, and it also expands the magic coverage area tenfold, resulting in the magic being diluted. It is so powerful that it can only burn small insects. However, the chariot is almost saturated with absorbed energy. If the Japanese come again, it probably won't be so weakened. After all, this chariot is not invincible. It can only be burned like this after absorbing energy, otherwise it will not be able to perform the next magical interference.

Although Masamoto Matsumoto didn't know that we had this thing, he soon realized that there must be something on our side that interfered with the release of magic. However, he was too cautious and thought that we might have extracted the magic energy and stored it for our own use, so He ordered mages not to use magic in battle anymore. Avoid giving away mana to our people.

We don't care what the Japanese do. They don't use magic, so we can kill them with confidence and boldness. However, although the Japanese army has been suppressed because its formation was messed up, this Chinese army is not a forward battalion after all, and the number of people is ridiculous. The cavalry killed a lot, but compared to the total number of people, it seemed to be a little behind.

I am worried, Matsumoto Masaru is even more worried. Although the cavalry was trapped by the huge number of Japanese troops, it was the cavalry that was killing the infantry after all. Masamoto Matsumoto knows that there are a large number of troops behind us, and they will be the losers if we kill them like this. With no other choice, Masamoto Matsumoto took heart and said to Shota Tanaka behind him: "Instruct the Chinese army's skirmishers to open up and order the Asahi Knights to charge."

"Will the charge of the cavalry regiment hurt our own people?" Shota Tanaka reminded Masamoto Matsumoto.

"Let the knights pay more attention to dodge their own people as much as possible. The casualties should not be too big. Let's stop the Chinese advance first. Anyway, if the cavalry doesn't accidentally injure these people, the Chinese cavalry will kill them all." Matsumoto congratulated. This plan is as decisive as starting to order the formation of archers to hoist and shoot the forward battalion, although it smells a bit of self-harm. But I have to say the effect is very good.

The valley we were fighting in was a plain between two mountains, not a real valley. The connection points between the plains and the mountains on both sides were not steep mountain walls, but slopes with a certain slope. Matsumoto Masaga ordered the Asahi Knights to charge, and the Chinese vanguard in front immediately began to move to the hillsides on both sides to make room for the cavalry to charge.

The Asahi Knights are one of the cavalry formations of the Black Dragon Society. The main members are NPCs, and the player only serves as the commander. The knights in the cavalry are all knights wearing rb samurai armor, not European-style cavalry. This is a bit neater than our guild. The air cavalry in our guild are all heavenly soldiers purchased from Heaven. The armors of these heavenly soldiers are all Chinese-style armors, but the real heavy cavalry of the Knights of Order are European-style knights' armors. So the equipment is slightly different. However, the colors of these armors are the same, and they are all heavy armor, so you can't tell much difference if you don't pay attention.

The mounts of the Asahi knights are flaming horses, which are strictly speaking a kind of monster. There is a kind of cyan flame around Yanma's hooves, which looks very arrogant, but has no actual effect. The Flame Horse cannot fly, and is slightly faster than our Nightmare Horse, but its endurance and load-bearing capacity are not as good as our War Horse's, and of course it is incomparable with the Pegasus Horse. Can a divine horse and a demon horse be the same?

The Asahi knights tried their best to control their mounts to charge forward. On the one hand, they had to maintain high speed, and on the other hand, they had to avoid their own people as much as possible. For this reason, they had to be very careful to keep an eye on the route forward, for fear of accidentally adding a few more accidental injuries. Record.

I was riding on Yeying's back, floating in mid-air and looking down at the entire battle, when the ring of love in my hand suddenly jumped. "Husband, General Wu asked you to lead a charge immediately."

"Why?"

"The general said that when the enemy launches a counterattack, there will be no defensive state. As long as we can withstand the counterattack of the opponent's cavalry, we can push the enemy back in one go."

"Understood." I cut off the contact and quickly used telepathic contact to notify all the Tyrannosaurus Knights and Ringtone Knights to let the troops charge.

Since the last game upgrade, the private chat system has really become a "private" chat system. The communication distance is extremely short. It is only suitable for players to form a team and level up, but when there are more people, it cannot cover it. In the guild war state, you can originally obtain the guild channel communication ability during the battle, but the guild battles between different nationalities before the start of the national war are not counted, so now we cannot open the guild channel, and the private chat is covered Not so many people. Fortunately, I have more than 8,000 Tyrannosaurus Knights. Players' telepathic ability to summoned creatures can communicate over long distances, so I temporarily assigned Tyrannosaurus Knights to the commanders of each formation to serve as communications troops. Matsumoto Masaga is much more pitiful than me. This guy is really using the communications unit, and sometimes he has to play flags and war drums and other musical instruments. He is exhausted to death.

The legions that received unified orders also moved much more neatly, and the regular troops on our side quickly began to move forward. The Japanese Army also discovered that we had begun a full-scale charge. Masamoto Matsumoto no longer cared about the reserve team, and gave an order to press all the troops tightly into the valley.

After all, the infantry is slower, and the first to come into contact is the cavalry of the vanguard. Our heavy cavalry almost reached the end of the Japanese formation, but the Asahi Knights also arrived. The contact between people and horses on both sides is relatively sporadic. Our heavy cavalry has been charging into the enemy's square formation for such a long time, and the formation has long been in chaos. Although rb's Asahi Knights were a reorganized unit that had just rushed out, in order to avoid their own people, the team also fell apart. Both sides collided with each other in skirmish lines. What appeared was not a confrontation between the cavalry regiments, but sporadic knights dueling each other.

The captain of our cavalry regiment is named Xiaofeng, and he happens to be a knight of the Fallen Angel clan, so I made him the captain of these NPC heavy cavalry. Xiaofeng is usually shy, but he is definitely a good player on the battlefield. At this time, he was at the forefront of the front line, opposite the Japanese Asahi Knights. He can be said to be the first person to bump into someone from the Asahi Knights.

The war horses on both sides quickly approached, and the sword in Xiao Feng's hand swept across them. The opponent's Japanese sword quickly sliced ​​through the sword. As long as Xiaofeng's posture remains unchanged, the iron top hand will be gone. However, Xiaofeng noticed the enemy's thoughts. Not only did he confiscate the knife, but he stretched it longer. If the opponent really charged like this, Xiaofeng's hand might be cut off, but the opponent's head would definitely fall off as well. It was definitely worth trading one hand for one head. Of course, the opponent was not willing to risk his life to trade hands. He ducked out of the way of Xiaofeng's knife, and naturally did not cut Xiaofeng's hand. Xiao Feng ignored the cavalry and continued to move forward. The greatest lethal effect of the cavalry was to keep moving forward and never look back.

The knights on both sides continued to have sporadic collisions, and overall it was the RB people who suffered. It turns out that it's not a problem with their people, but a problem with their horses. The flame horse is not as powerful as the nightmare horse. It will fall down upon impact and is obviously disadvantaged in terms of impact power. However, the sudden charge of these cavalry really stopped the pace of our heavy cavalry. Seeing that the speed of the heavy cavalry formation was getting slower and slower, the war horses had obviously turned into stomping forward.

Once the cavalry slows down, it will no longer have the initial killing effect, and it will also become more dangerous. The cavalry has not lost anyone since it entered the enemy's formation and rushed here. It is because of its fast speed that the opponent has no chance to take action. When the speed slowed down, the impact was insufficient and the killing effect was reduced. The surrounding infantry began to fight back one after another. The cavalry was constantly being killed. Seeing that the cavalry team had no hope.
