Chapter 111: Tactics of Warfare
The combat power of the savages exploded quickly and disappeared faster.
When the enemy stabilized his position and raged like a meat grinder on the charging wildlings, the wildlings behind were so frightened that they completely lost their combat effectiveness.
They screamed and scattered in all directions, showing the ability to escape not inferior to the people of the Ox tribe.
"It's time for this battle to end. ”
Looking at the battlefield isolated by the fleeing savages, Fifth Xuan wrote this text up and down the thick fog.
It was this order that the tapir witch had been waiting for, and immediately passed it on, and the Fox immediately led the wolf tribe warriors to charge towards the enemy in the south of more than 3,000 people.
He was accompanied by a snow-treading ghost wolf, a mount he had predetermined for himself, and when he grew up, the roe would ride him into battle.
Leading the Fire Tribe warriors was Zhuo, in addition to the Fire Tribe warriors, the core around him was some of the members of the clan who stayed behind in the Fire Tribe, with two hundred people.
Zhuo was quite calm and did not attack directly, because the battlefield was too chaotic today.
The deer that rushed out knocked countless wild people along the way, and it is estimated that when it reaches the enemy's side, the impact will be much weaker.
But there is nothing to worry about, the enemies are a rabble, made up of many tribes, and the lineup is loose, just relying on the large number of people.
The wolf tribe warriors rushed over, and more than a dozen wolf cubs were the first to rush into the enemy army.
They frantically gnaw at their enemies, and every time a sword comes to them, their bodies will appear a subtle color change, and the sword will be slashed into the air.
But after two or three dodges, a wolf cub will often retreat, because this is already the limit of their use of this ability.
By the time they retreated, the army of the wolf tribe had also arrived, and they rushed into it frantically according to what the Fifth Xuan taught, not for the purpose of killing the enemy, but for the main task of cutting the enemy formation.
It was their first charge that wasn't aimed at killing, and they didn't know what the outcome would be, but they wanted to give it a try.
There are a lot of people who are paying attention to this battlefield, and all the witches and totems are looking at it.
The wolf witch's expression was the most eager, because according to the Fifth Xuan, as long as the enemy could not stop the cavalry's footsteps and let the cavalry penetrate the camp, it would represent the end of the battle.
Under the gaze of everyone, the warriors of the wolf tribe rushed into the enemy formation with a sharp arrow.
"Boom ......"
Like a flood hitting a levee, a violent sound sounded.
This is a world with totemic power, and it is not impossible for a warrior to stop the cavalry with his bare hands, but the giant wolf is huge and has the power of totem, so it has enough impact.
In addition, the enemy did not have anti-cavalry facilities such as horse rejection stakes, and many people were suddenly shocked and flew out.
"Rush over, don't look back, just slash the enemy in front of you. ”
The roe kept repeating the strategic goal of this battle, afraid that the soldiers next to him would rise up and stop to fight.
"The penetration is still a little bit worse. ”
Fifth Xuan spoke in the gossip space.
"Why?"
Moon Totem asked.
Fifth Xuan didn't answer him, but looked at the stag totem, and his mind turned.
This kind of task of breaking the camp may be better than the wolf tribe, and the wolf tribe is better at attacking and killing, rather than breaking the formation.
What he didn't know was that now Shi had found a tribe that was more suitable for breaking the formation than the Bucks tribe, that is, the Mi tribe with four-horned cavalry.
The battlefield outside did not stop because of the conversation between the two, and the fox frantically fought the enemy in front of him, and the speed of the giant wolf under his body became slower and slower, and there was a tendency to be stuck in the enemy's battle formation.
"Howl ......"
Suddenly there was a roar from beside them, it was the wolf cubs, who had once again rushed out of the ranks and fought against the enemy in front of them.
With their joining, the fight suddenly became much easier, the speed of the Fox increased again, and the speed of the whole team became faster and faster.
"It's going to penetrate, charge, charge. ”
The deer roared angrily, the long stone knife in his hand swinging, and his eyes looked at the enemy formation that was about to penetrate.
When he killed three more enemies, the person in front of him finally pulled up, and the speed of the giant wolf suddenly increased.
"Boom ......"
The warriors of the wolf tribe rushed through the enemy formation, and the beast immediately patted the giant wolf who sat down, and the giant wolf seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately reversed direction.
The oblique stab once again entered the enemy line, and by this time the enemy was already in chaos.
Infantry is not like cavalry, with limited eyesight on the battlefield, and when the comrades around them are in chaos, it is easy to be agitated.
This creates a convenient environment for the Oni to slash in, and unlike the first time to break through the formation, this time the resistance is very small, and the chaotic enemy has no idea where the attack is coming from.
Many people were confused, and finally were trampled to death from the rear led by the roe deer.
When penetrating the enemy formation for the second time, the deer knew that the fire totem's tactics were correct, and the enemy had completely lost his organizational ability and resistance ability, even if he did not carry out the third piercing, the enemy would be chaotic, and might even collapse on his own.
But how could the deer give the enemy a chance, he did not hesitate and rushed in again without any pity.
The enemy who was cut for the third time fell directly into collapse, and the horror was that the warriors inside were already confused and couldn't tell the difference between left and right.
They collided and ran against each other, and because they were not familiar with each other because they belonged to the same tribe, they directly drew their swords at each other at the critical moment and cut each other.
"Only today did I know that the battle of the wolf tribe should be fought like this. ”
The wolf witch's hands were trembling with excitement, but the fifth Xuan in the gossip space shook his head, feeling that he might have used the wrong battle method.
What was reflected in this battle was the lack of impact power of the wolf cavalry.
In the Fifth Xuan's view, perhaps Genghis Khan's tactics that swept across the Eurasian continent were more suitable for the wolf tribe than the tactics of heavy cavalry.
But he was not in a hurry to correct this, after all, the infantry also had obvious deficiencies in fighting cavalry at present.
If the team encounters this wolf cavalry, the wolf cavalry will only be abused, because the team's lineup is dense enough and the defense is strong enough.
If the wolf cavalry can't break through the battle formation, this tactic will be ineffective.
But there is only one team, so the wolf cavalry can still be used, as long as there are not too many enemies.
If the number of enemies is larger, they will also restrain the wolf cavalry, but the reason is still the lack of impact.
Putting these thoughts aside, Fifth Xuan's gaze looked at the Fire Tribe warriors who had moved.
You Zhuo took the lead, followed by two hundred soldiers of the clan, and behind them were the Thousand Five Yin and Yang Totem Warriors, who walked towards the enemy with neat steps.
There was no fierce charge or shouting from the wolf tribe, and they calmly walked into the land of arrows, and then stopped, bending their bows and arrows.
"Whoosh ......"
A rain of arrows shot out, catching the enemy by surprise.
They were a little blinded by the arrows, and they cowered and did not dare to step forward.
"All, ten steps forward, go. ”
Zhuo shouted the order, and each echelon gave the order in turn, and the team took ten steps forward neatly, bending the bow and arrows again.
"Whoosh ......"
Another wave of arrows rained down, the enemy was killed and wounded, and there seemed to be chaos inside, as if there were different voices that prevented them from acting in unison, and they were out of ground.
"All, ten steps forward, go. ”
Burning as steel, he shouted slogans to advance towards the enemy who was cowering again, and then cold-blooded ordered to shoot arrows.
After three waves of arrows, the enemy had fallen more than a hundred people, and they finally couldn't bear the horror anymore, and they shouted frantically and charged.
"Ready, shoot. ”
Scorch judged the enemy's distance and let the team shoot an arrow again.
Arrows rained down, and the enemy fended off the arrows with tattered shields or stone knives, and rushed wildly.
"Standing shield. ”
Zhuo shouted, no longer commanding the arrows, and walked to the front first, standing the heavy wooden shield in his hand on the ground.
The shield is not facing the enemy with a shield, but is standing sideways, so that a gap half an arm's width is revealed between the shields.
As soon as the shield was erected, arrows were thrown out, and because there was no order, the archers were free to fire, so the arrows were scattered, but the lethality did not decrease at all.
"Short spear, shoot. ”
As the enemy approached, Zhuo gave the order again, this time the spearmen behind their shields, and they projected their spears through the gaps between their shields.
The impact of the short spear is much greater than that of the arrow, and it is a flat shot, which is even more difficult to dodge.
"Shields. ”
The short spear was shot, and Zhuo didn't look at the result at all, and gave the order directly.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
One shield turned, and the left and right sides collided with each other with a sound, forming a perfect barrier in front of the army.
The arrows were still firing, the short spears were turned into projectiles, and the enemy had not yet come close, and there were countless casualties.
"Spearmen ready. ”
The burning voice was muffled, for his body was pressed against the shield, his head bowed against his shoulders.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a crash, and it was the front line of the enemy rushing towards it.
With a belly full of grievance and anger, they rounded the stone knife and cut it on the heavy wooden stool.
"Thorns. ”
Zhuo only held the shield against the enemy, did not look at the enemy at all, and gave orders in his mouth, but the voice was already drowned out by the sounds of the battlefield.
But even without his commands, the warriors knew how to fight.
The spearmen in the back row jumped to their feet, stabbing their spears through their shields.
"Poof...... Poof......"
There were many sounds of killing, and Zhuo just lowered his head and remained motionless, until the strength from the shield was much less, and he looked out through the small hole in the shield.
The enemy was somewhat confused by arrows, short spears, shields, and spears, and many warriors were in a dilemma.
Zhuo shouted to withdraw the shield, took the lead in pushing the shield outward, held the small shield hanging on his left arm, and rushed out first.
He had only taken a step forward when a short spear flew out of his side, the one that was thrown by his still comrades-in-arms the moment he activated it.
Immediately behind the short spear was a spear that stabbed through the air.
When the enemy saw that the shield was gone, a man rushed out, and before he could reach him, he was stabbed in the chest with a short spear, and then a spear in the abdomen.
Curled up in his body, he rushed forward with his shield, and after knocking the enemy's corpse into the air, the stone knife was up, directly splitting the jaw of the person behind him, killing the enemy in one move.
He was the first to push the shield, but the shields on the left and right immediately turned over like dominoes, followed by short spears, spears, and battle formations instantly turned into blooming hedgehogs.
The enemy's attrition in an instant is more than the previous attack of arrows, short spears, and spears, and this damage is only the beginning.
