Chapter 560: The ultimate nirvana inherited from the Stone Age
Most of the players of the remote regiment are from Haoran Villa, they have experienced the original expeditionary force battle, and they have personally experienced this feeling of facing the cavalry charge at close range, so the charge of the black-armored wolf cavalry did not frighten them, but aroused their blood, and they rushed to meet them one by one, throwing their skills towards each other in one go.
The black-armored wolf cavalry did not pay any attention to these attacks, and rushed into the formation of the remote regiment like mad dogs, their attack methods were extremely rough, and they did not have any skills at all, relying only on the momentum of the horses to charge the players in front of them, and those players who were pierced by the spears were killed on the spot.
Seeing that the archers in the battle in front of him actually showed signs of rout, Lie Yu Hongtu immediately issued an order to attack the mixed battle group that had previously retreated to the right side for repair, and then asked the second team of the Xuanjia Regiment who was responsible for defending the front of the remote regiment to provide support.
Lie Yu Hongtu originally planned to rely on 2,000 people to eat the other party's 500 people, but the opponent's combat power was even more difficult than he imagined, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like if the remaining 2,000 black-armored wolf cavalry attacked together.
However, at this critical bald head, the information that nothing was wrong also came again, and Lie Yu Hongtu opened it and looked at it, and his eyebrows tightened on the spot.
The main force of the barbarian army finally moved, and nearly 100,000 troops slowly drove up, and the wind and sand raised could be clearly seen even if they stood on the head of the city of Yuquan Pass.
Sure enough, the Black Armored Wolf Cavalry was to test the player's strength, and after discovering that the player did not have the ability to immediately kill the Black Armored Wolf Cavalry, the commander of the barbarian army had already made a rough guess about the player's overall strength. In the future, they may continue to send such small forces to probe, but this time the target is probably directly the first line of defense.
Flame Feather Hongtu took a deep breath, turned his head and commanded a few words to the lightning storm beside him, and the lightning storm nodded and immediately turned to leave, and took several players with him to leave.
At this time, the hundred black-armored wolf cavalry surrounded by the long-range regiment had all been killed, and the players of the long-range regiment had also paid nearly one-third of their casualties, and the losses were quite large according to the proportion of battle losses on both sides.
The archers on the other side finally found a way to deal with them, and under the cover of the mixed war group, they used the wandering tactics of reversing left and right to contain the remaining black-armored wolf cavalry within a fixed range of action, and then shot one of them.
The players who had completed the interception mission did not dare to stop at all, and withdrew behind the earthen wall built by the No. 1 line of defense under their respective commands, waiting for the next round of orders.
This disastrous battle situation made all the players sober up, and their hearts, which had been floating due to the small victory in the first game, finally fell back into the ground, and they no longer dared to look at their opponents with that kind of contempt.
The main force of the barbarian army in the distance was already quite close, and the archers who were at the forefront had already crossed the sand dunes in front of the first line of defense, and began to use the ramp of the sand dunes to sprint, enveloping the arrows towards the first line of defense.
This time, the archers and cavalry regiment were no longer the previous scale of one or two thousand people, but directly composed of three brigades of 10,000 people. These archers stretched for hundreds of meters in a row, each advancing in three columns. The bow and arrow formed a huge gray wave in mid-air, and the whistling sound of the arrow even reached the side of Yuquan Pass.
The three rounds of salvo fire were completed in a few breaths, and the spilled arrows covered the entire No. 1 defense line with a layer of arrows, and those players hiding behind the fortifications did not dare to take their heads at all, and occasionally a few who were not afraid of death wanted to see the situation outside, and as soon as they appeared, they were immediately pierced into hedgehogs by arrows falling in mid-air.
As soon as the main force of the barbarian army arrived, the players in the first line of defense were suppressed and powerless, and Lie Yu Hongtu hid behind the shield array of the Xuanjia Regiment, looking out through the gap in the shield with great concern.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the barbarian archers immediately turned their horses' heads and rotated backwards, and the barbarian archers in the second row rushed up at this time, and a new round of arrow attacks fell again. This relay of firepower suppression made the players of Line 1 despair, they had already figured out the attack pattern of the barbarian archers, and the group had no intention of giving them a chance to raise their heads.
At this time, there was new news from the ambush in front of him, and the Lie Yu Hongtu who received the information was almost dead. The news from the other side was simple and direct, the barbarian vanguard army had begun to attack, 10,000 heavy cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry, and five phalanx of foot battles had begun to move.
Obviously, this group of barbarian archers who came over first to suppress the fire were not here to kill the enemy at all, they were just to suppress the players in the first line of defense and buy time for the follow-up melee troops.
The barbarian army had no intention of giving them any chance to fight back.
Lie Yu Hongtu looked back at the rear with some anxiety, if he succeeded in arranging for the lightning storm to do in the past, he might be able to reverse the current passive situation.
As the minutes ticked by, the barbarian archers had completed five rotations, and their slanted arrows had covered the entire area in front of the first line of defense. Some fortifications with low durability were even destroyed directly, and players hiding behind were not spared.
In the distance, on the sand dunes, the first group of light cavalry to arrive had already crossed over, ready to launch a decisive collective charge.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from behind the No. 1 defense line, and then dozens of huge fireballs shot up into the sky, flying out as far away as extraterrestrial meteorites, directly smashing into the barbarian archers who were throwing arrows.
It was a series of ignited stone bullets, shot out of a special dragon slayer bed crossbow, and each stone bullet was filled with trigger-type gunpowder by the players of the Tangmen Thunderbolt Bomb, and once it fell to the ground, it immediately caused a large-scale explosion at a distance.
These stone projectiles are extremely precious, and each one costs a hundred gold in materials. Lie Yu Hongtu originally planned to keep them and surprise them when the opponent's ace army came on the field, but now he had to release them in advance.
It has to be said that the lethality of these expensive stone projectiles is indeed terrifying, and falling into the formation of the barbarian archers immediately triggered a violent explosion. The flying debris instantly killed all the targets within more than ten meters of the explosion, and those who were far away were also cut off most of their blood and were attached to the burning state.
Relying only on this first round of attacks, a whole platoon of archers of the barbarian archers was beaten to death or wounded, and the covering attack of arrows immediately became vacant.
Even after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the most powerful means of destruction in the era of cold weapons is still throwing stones.
