Chapter 30: Heavy Cavalry

At this point in the battle, Calus also realized that something was wrong, he did not underestimate the strength of the orc soldiers, but he underestimated the power of the elven archers and dwarven musketeers.

Indeed, without the mass destruction of elven archers and dwarven musketeers in the back, the orc infantry would have only been three hundred, and under the onslaught led by some fighters on Calus's side, they would have suffered heavy losses.

Although the orc infantry is brave, Calus has many of them, and there are many fighters who can fight against the orc infantry, as well as magicians. The magician opens the formation, the fighter leads the people to rush forward, and the orc infantry will be finished no matter how strong it is. But their magicians were killed by Tyrande as soon as they arrived, and several of the fighters were forced to scramble by the musketeers and Tyrande.

But there is no way to do this, the elven archers can all escape, so they didn't find that Xiao Yu still had so many archers at the beginning, let alone think that there was such a magical class as dwarven musketeers.

They naturally also have excellent archers, but Xiao Yu's side has already occupied the advantage of the city wall, and it is difficult for their archers to pose a threat to the elven archers who occupy the advantageous location, not to mention that the shadow of the elven archers makes it easy for them to lose their targets.

In long-range matches, Calus was a losing mess.

Calus, who is in the era of cold weapons, will not think too much about the question of the huge power of long-range intensive firepower. As a modern person, Xiao Yu understands the huge role of long-range heavy firepower strikes too well.

Both Napoleon and Rommel advocated the large-scale and concentrated use of automated heavy weapons to suppress the other side.

As long as the opponent is suppressed, it is a victory.

Therefore, in this battle, neither the orc infantry nor the Terran infantry are actually the main lethality, the archers and musketeers are the main lethality.

Dwarven musketeers don't harvest lives as fast as nimble archers, and basically elven archers shoot five, they probably only hit one.

However, their suppression of the fighters and the damage to the mages played a crucial role in the battle situation. That's what classes are all about.

Xiao Yu also once thought that there are magicians, hoplites and cavalry, and powerful fighters in this world, and it is not impossible for people to directly send hundreds of thousands, or even millions, as soon as they come out of the army.

And although he has elite soldiers, the number is pitiful, and his only advantage is the cooperation of multiple arms. Only by cooperating with this path with his troops can he gain an advantage.

Otherwise, once the arms are not used well, he will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat under the opponent's crowd tactics.

"All backwards, all backwards." Seeing that the situation was not good, Calus hurriedly ordered to retreat, he knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that his own army would be annihilated, and the archers of the other side were too strong.

He was very depressed, this was originally his own city wall. If they start to defend the city wall, the other party is not afraid of even if there are more archers, the archers from the city to the city will not play a role, but the city wall is lost, the other party is condescending, and the city wall has become a sharp weapon for the opponent's defense.

This is also Xiao Yu's shrewdness, he planned well from the beginning, occupied the geographical advantage, and gave full play to the advantage of the heavy firepower of his elven archers to suppress the opponent, so as to achieve such brilliant results.

If you were to meet head-on in an open field, with thousands of men and cavalry, you could easily bypass three hundred infantry and attack the archers, and you would be defeated.

If it is a frontal forced siege battle, it will be even more over, no matter how powerful the elven archers are, they will shoot at the other party under the city and above the city, and it will be over, and the number of orc infantry is so small, and few of them can climb the wall and be killed.

Therefore, the reason why this battle was won was also Xiao Yu's correct use of the coordination of arms and tactics. Xiao Yu was also the champion of the Warcraft Elite Competition back then, so he naturally didn't have a problem with the use of this tactic. Although there are some differences between the real world and the game, as a pseudo-military fan, Xiao Yu still occupies a high ideological realm advantage in this backward era of cold weapons.

Sure enough, when Calus withdrew from the range of the archers with his men, Xiao Yu stopped pursuing. Because once Xiao Yu loses the position of the city wall, he will definitely not be the opponent of the other party.

But in just such a moment, more than a thousand of Calus's men and horses had died, and with the six hundred who had died in the charge that began the chaos, Calus's bandit soldiers had lost two thousand, including a mage and five fighters.

Those fighters were either shot by Tyrande or shot by musketeers.

Fighters can withstand the feathered arrows of ordinary elven archers, but they can't withstand the scorching arrows of Tyrande or the bullets of musketeers.

"Okay, okay, your name is Xiao Yu, I remember, see how I slaughter your Lion King Leader in the future." Calus was extremely angry, this was a big failure that he had never had since he became a robber, and more than 2,000 people died in such a short period of less than half an hour. You know, there are less than 5,000 people in his cottage, which is already half.

Xiao Yu watched them withdraw out of the archer's range, smiled slightly, and said, "Guy who is a hybrid between humans and beasts, even a little robber like you wants to fight with me?" And slaughter our lion kings? Joke, Lao Tzu is the king of this era appointed by the elf god and the beast god and the god of the dwarf race, and has the atmospheric luck of seizing the heaven and earth, you either surrender or die, fight with me, you are also worthy? ”

Xiao Yu is absolutely no stranger to scolding, when he met some SB players in online games, he scolded each other and scolded each other, it was simply a war of the century, Xiao Yu went through many rounds of life and death tempering, and practiced an invulnerable and invincible scolding ability, how could this Calus be his opponent?

"Hmph, now, the king of this era? It's up to you? I'm going to let you die here today, I see what kind of luck do you have? Come and gather the heavy cavalry. At this time, Calus's face was hideous, and with a wave of his hand, he took out the final killer move.

It takes a certain amount of time for the heavy cavalry to be equipped, and in the dark of night, the heavy cavalry will not go out immediately, and they are all ordered by Calus to put on their equipment first, get ready, and wait for the time when they need to appear again.

Otherwise, the heavy cavalry will also go out to fight alone like other infantry, and the role of the heavy cavalry will be completely lost.

Heavy cavalry, in the era of cold weapons, was definitely the master of the battlefield. The charge of a group of heavy cavalry in formation can directly break through the enemy's formation, and the infantry behind can follow, and it is easy to achieve the final victory.

In many major battles, the two sides face each other head-on, just to see whose heavy cavalry has the upper hand and overwhelms the other side.

Ordinary robbers simply don't have the money to build a heavy cavalry unit. Because, although the heavy cavalry is powerful and is the master of the battlefield, it is also an absolute money-burning machine.

A qualified heavy cavalry, including the training of soldiers, the selection of horses, the creation of armor, and the run-in of battle formations, the average value of a person reaches thousands of gold coins, and without money, you don't want to raise heavy cavalry at all.

It took Calus more than ten years of capital to cultivate a heavy cavalry force of 300 people, but this heavy cavalry force of more than 300 people once made many of his opponents fearful.

The heavy cavalry ran as if countless chariots rushed by, and the average human infantry was directly crushed into pulp. In such a gang of bandits, being able to have such a heavy cavalry unit is a symbol of absolute strength.

At this time, there were fires everywhere in the back of the cottage, and it was a mess, although someone went to deal with it, but it was definitely easier to set fire than to put out fire.

One person can set a fire to a hundred people.

Therefore, now that the main buildings in the cottage are about to burn down, Calus must end the battle as soon as possible and defeat Xiao Yu before he can go to fight the fire, otherwise, the hard work he has worked hard for more than ten years will be completely burned.

Hiss Ang Ang......

With the neighing of war horses, the three hundred heavy cavalry had already gathered, and the iron hooves of the strong war horses stepped on the ground, making a rumbling sound, and gathered into a piece, like a muffled thunder rolling by.

The war horses that can carry heavy cavalry are not ordinary war horses, they are all one in a thousand, and they must be extremely strong to be able to withstand such heavy armor.

Buying a heavy cavalry horse is a very big problem, and it is also the first difficulty in forming a heavy cavalry. Without good horses, there is no way to talk about heavy cavalry.

At this time, the heavy cavalry had already assembled, and under the leadership of the commander, they slowly stood at a distance of three hundred paces from the city wall, forming an array.

"Prepare me to charge and take out these orc soldiers." Calus gave an order with a twitch of his face, even if Xiao Yu was completely annihilated today, his losses would be great.

This Xiao Yu was so despicable that he even sent someone to set fire to his belongings and burned all his belongings.

He just chopped Xiao Yu into meat sauce and ate it, and he didn't understand his hatred.

Xiao Yu looked at the other party's heavy cavalry, but his eyes were squinted, flashing with a treacherous light.

"Nima, fortunately, Lao Tzu has prepared two bladed chariots, as well as musketeers, otherwise, there is really no way to rely on orc infantry and elven archers to take these heavy cavalry."

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the two blade carts hidden behind were quietly carried out by the four orc soldiers and mounted on the moon blade.

"Charge." Calus yelled and gave the order.
