In the era of cold weapons without magic, cavalry is the king of the field, and the high impact brought by high speed can make almost all infantry fearful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, there are exceptions, and the matter of cavalry riding with foot has not happened rarely, in addition to the sharp weapon of the cavalry such as the three-zhang spear, the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty and the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty are all types of troops that deal with the cavalry.

The Mo sword soldiers and infantry armor soldiers attacked and defended, defeating the Turks and Khitans, who were good at cavalry. The Mo sword soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be very famous, but the training is extremely harsh, so it was later lost, and the Japanese katana is similar to the Mo sword.

Buren armor is a kind of heavy armor, which was the main armor of the Song Dynasty against the nomadic Khitan and even the Western Xia. The soldiers who use the infantry armor need to be physically strong, holding a spear is a mobile rejection horse, and the rear archers can be invincible, and the high victory rate of the Northern Dynasty in foreign combat is about 80% because of the infantry armor.

It can be said that it was because of Burenjia that the Northern Song Dynasty was not destroyed by the Khitan. The practice of civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty controlling the government and interfering in the war would have been destroyed long ago in other dynasties.

To deal with cavalry, you need to resist horses and bows and arrows, rejecting horses makes cavalry unable to hit themselves, and bows and arrows can ensure that they can hit cavalry, both of which are indispensable.

But there is also an invincible division of cavalry, and that is archery. The most famous archery cavalry is the Mongolian cavalry, which relied on cavalry and archery to build a large empire, destroying countless countries and killing tens of millions of people.

There are two most difficult things to deal with in cavalry shooting, one is that it is fast and maintains the mobility of cavalry. The second is that the range is farther than the usual bow and arrow, the bow of the cavalry is slightly shorter, and the range is lower than the normal range of the bow and arrow, but the real horse archery master can calculate the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, and then use the inertia of high speed to shoot a longer range, this technique is called running shooting.

The strongest technique of mounted archery is called looking back at the arrow, even if you are not afraid of cavalry or even archery. This technique is to lure the enemy's cavalry into pursuit, and then turn the upper body to shoot the bow and arrows, using the speed of the enemy's pursuit to increase the range.

Lu Rong didn't know what kind of level those half-human, half-horse intelligent races had reached, so he talked to the minotaurs from Ethelsor first.

The minotaurs were very sad: "Lord Lu, we have lived in Ethelsor for two thousand years, and we know almost everything around us. But we don't know where these centaurs came from, they first appeared south of Etheliso, and we began to suspect that they were from Firas, but then the Minotaur of Firas wrote that they were not there. ”

Lu Rong analyzed: "Are there any places you haven't paid attention to, there are only a few places in the south of Ethelsor, think about it and maybe you can find the answer."

"We've thought about it for a long time, but we really don't know." The minotaur said pitifully: "We minotaurs have more than 100,000 people after two thousand years of development, and the members are all over Ethelsor and Firas. Now Firas is better, and Ethelesso's minotaurs have lost at least thirty or forty thousand dead. ”

"So much?" Lu Rong was taken aback.

"And that's not all, in addition to the ones who died in battle, there were at least 10,000 people who were slaughtered by centaurs." The more the Minotaur spoke, the more sad he became, "Those centaurs were inhumane, not even old men and children, and my son died in front of me, pierced in the chest with a spear by a centaur. ”

Hearing this, Lu Rong also had to gasp, he stood up, summoned a guard, took out a token and said, "You take the token to Thunder Cliff, you must meet my parents and tell them about it."

"Yes!" The guard is a panda man, a descendant of Thunderstorm, and he doesn't know how many generations he has grandchildren.

The guards mounted the Frostblade Leopard and ran quickly in the direction of Thunder Cliff. All the guards of Thunder Cliff are equipped with Frostblade Leopard mounts, these mounts all have the bloodline of the White Tiger, as the first Frostblade Leopard in the world, the White Tiger can be said to have a group of wives and concubines, and there are more offspring.

It took the guards two or three hours to get back to High Cliff Town, and then climbed the Thunder Bluff through the stone steps. After passing the inspection of the level, he immediately met Lu Zhongli.

Lu Zhongli quickly met with this guard, and when the guard finished saying everything, Lu Zhongli attached great importance to it. He handed over the affairs of Thunder Bluff to Kirin, and then went to Baldan with his guards.

In addition to High Cliff Town, Lu Zhongli immediately activated the Soaring Clouds and Fog, and flew towards Bardan with his guards. It was the first time that the guards had come into contact with Tengyun Driving Mist, and the entire Thunder Cliff could use Tengyun Driving Mist, except for Lu Zhongli, there were really not many, and there were only five divine beasts and the three Ao brothers.

When he arrived at Bardan, Lu Zhongli listened to the description of the Minotaur himself, and once again soared into the sky, flying towards Ethelesso.

Looking at Etheresso from the sky, Lu Zhongli found that the place was already rotten. In the past, when he came, he could still see a lot of creatures, but now he can only see corpses all over the ground, and no more than centaurs sorting out corpses.

Centaurs are ferocious, Lu Zhongli is mentally prepared, and he attacks when he sees a living creature, and Lu Zhongli has nothing abnormal. But when he saw the centaur eating the corpse of the minotaur, Lu Zhongli couldn't stand it.

Cannibals are the most unacceptable race for Lu Zhongli, because this is a serious violation of the spirit of humanitarianism, and even intelligent creatures eat it, so it can basically be judged that centaurs are not intelligent races.

Although Lu Zhongli gave the centaur a death sentence, he did not cause any extraneous branches. He came to Ethresor for two purposes, one was to see where the centaurs were and where they originated; The second is to see how many Minotaurs are left, and if they can be saved.

Centaurs are mainly found in the southern part of Etheliso, but their place of origin has not been found. There are many mountains in the south of Ethelsor, all of which are not suitable for habitation, which makes Lu Zhongli also strange, where did these centaurs come from?

After two days of searching, Lu Zhongli finally found the Minotaur gathering place of Ethelsor, in a valley north of Etheliso. It has been surrounded by centaurs, tens of thousands of centaurs have blocked tens of thousands of minotaurs in the valley, and if it weren't for the fact that most of the minotaur shamans were there, the centaurs might have broken through this place long ago.

Lu Zhongli observed on the battlefield for a long time, and found that the centaurs were very good at attacking, and they used bows and arrows very well, and their bows were not short bows, but regular bows and arrows.

They have a variety of weapons, and some even use them to pick up Minotaur weapons. However, this does not prevent them from using it. In the hands of weapon masters and people who don't know anything, what kind of weapon is used will not affect combat effectiveness. And it is clear that these centaurs are not like people who do not know how to use weapons.

Lu Zhongli flew back to Thunder Cliff and immediately issued a rally order, he needed to form an army to fight against Ethelsor. He also launched a batch of dispatches, transferring seven archmages and two Minotaur Great Shaman's soul vessels to participate in the war, and also mobilized Illidan and Thunderstorm to participate in the expeditionary force.
