995 Cattle Infantry
readx;
Kobo knew that these defensive weapons were only temporary and would not last, so he kept urging the cavalry to launch a series of attacks, and sure enough, the repulsive horses began to break down after many uses, slowly pulling a gap in the front. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's it, charge me. Kobo saw the gap in the opponent's formation, and he immediately swung his long sword and pointed at which gap.
"The first platoon of pikemen stepped forward and plugged the gap. Zhu Yunmei also discovered this flaw for the first time.
"Rush. A group of spear-wielding light cavalry urged the seated cloud horses to rush towards the huge gap in the front.
"Lined up, stood shields, raised guns, and everyone stuck to their posts. Following Daodao's order, a group of soldiers armed with oval shields and steel spears lined up in a neat line, and arranged a strong shield defense array at the gap.
The cavalry and infantry collided together, and the losses of both sides suddenly increased significantly. A cavalryman fell from his horse, and many of the shield soldiers were knocked backwards by the huge impact of the cavalry, and the formation was suddenly a little unstable.
"The third wing goes to support, and it must hold on, and the others continue to shoot arrows. Zhu Yunmei commanded a group of troops to plug the gap, but the light infantry was restrained by the light cavalry after all, their casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and the formation was becoming more and more unstable.
"Young master, it's the signal of the wolf cavalry, we can attack. A Niu clan sentry said excitedly to Ruitao, Fang Ruitao nodded and said, "Great, let's attack immediately, everyone line up, let's go to the battlefield." ”
"Got it, young master, look at us. There was a cheer among the Ox people, and they immediately lined up in a neat line and rushed towards the battlefield.
After nearly two years of training, these wild cattle orcs have also learned to abide by discipline. Lined up in a neat formation, the Niu people galloped on the plain, their speed was enough to top the ordinary human trot, and the energetic Niu people were not red or panting, and the formation was not chaotic at all.
Fang Ruitao nodded secretly, it seemed that the instructors he sent were not lazy, and these orcs were definitely quite cooperative, otherwise they would definitely not be able to train such an effect.
The attacking Berun cavalry were a little distracted, and they sensed that a cavalry unit was approaching in their left rear, and it was still moving very fast.
Knowing that reinforcements from the other side might have arrived, Kobo immediately ordered the cavalry in front of him to disengage from the other side and form a formation again. He had a plan for the possible reinforcements of the other side, and he had 20,000 cavalry lined up to defend the direction of the First Army of Luoyu City, while the remaining 60,000 cavalry were lined up in an assault formation facing the left rear, intending to attack against each other.
Although it sounded like the other party was cavalry, Kobo was not panicked at all, so he felt that the number of cavalry on the opposite side was not much, as many as one or two thousand, and relying on such a few cavalry would not pose any threat to him at all.
As long as the Belun cavalry launched a counter-charge, they could easily defeat the opponent, and after losing reinforcements, the frontal infantry of the city would also be demoralized, and it would be easier for him to defeat them.
The reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and soon a black line appeared on the horizon. As the black line grew thicker and thicker, Kobo could see the individual on the other side. He looked at him in surprise, and saw something incredible. The guys who were supposed to be cavalrymen didn't have any horses at all, and the soldiers on the opposite side were wheeling with double-edged axes, each with a strange helmet with long horns.
For these strange, unusually tall infantrymen, Kobo was a little curious, he didn't know whether the other party's pair of horns was used for decoration or had a practical effect, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to engage in this kind of helmet that cost a lot of money, if it was an ordinary helmet that he had so much money to make, he could equip an army of 100,000.
The Ox people were wearing half-body armor and chain mail, and their faces were covered by all-encompassing helmets, so they didn't realize that these tall soldiers were not human at all.
As the minotaur officers roared, the first row of minotaurs raised their double-edged axes in the air, speeding up their charge.
"Quick, everyone charge, knock each other back. Kobo finally came to his senses, and he realized that he had almost forgotten to launch a counter-charge. Fortunately, when the opponent was still hundreds of meters away from his side, he finally issued an order, and 70,000 cavalry began to control the cloud horse under his crotch, slowly accelerated, and rushed towards the enemy's infantry.
Kobo was a little proud, using cavalry and infantry to hedge, he thought he was 100% sure of victory, so he didn't notice the difference between the other side.
Knowing that the two sides were close at hand, Kobo was a little surprised to find that these infantry were not light infantry in the usual sense, in addition to wearing heavy armor, their height was generally more than two meters three, and their height was even the same as that of the cavalry riding cloud horses.
The soldiers of the two sides quickly came into contact, and the ox orcs running in the first row swung their huge double-edged steel axes and slashed at the cavalry on the opposite side. Seeing the other party coming, the cavalry had no choice but to put up their spears and hurry, but in the case of a hard encounter, how could a spear with a very light weight be the opponent of a long-handled double-edged axe, not to mention that these double-edged axes were all magic weapons depicted with a magic array, which were much better than pure steel spears.
As soon as the battle between the two sides began, the Berun cavalry sensed that something was wrong. The opponent's strong physique seemed to be able to resist the impact of the cavalry, but their imposing double-edged axe was merciless. For a while, the cavalrymen, who were originally quite complacent about their pure steel armor and spears, actually found that they had no weapons at all to resist the opponent's attack.
Under the indomitable attack of the Orcs of the Niu Clan, the cavalry were cut off their horses one after another, and their limbs were separated one by one, and even the cloud horses were broken into corpses, and the shock of the scene was by no means what those ordinary cavalry could see. Zhu Yunmei, who was repairing the formation in the distance and was ready to help Fang Ruitao at any time, widened her eyes, and looked at the group of Niu Orcs who were attacking in surprise, and she couldn't dare to look at her own eyes.
Originally, he thought that Fang Ruitao had to send the orc troops because the Dragon Soul Legion needed to attack the Chagatai Khanate, but he didn't expect them to have such strong combat effectiveness. What surprised her even more was that the weapons and armor that Fang Ruitao equipped his subordinates seemed to be much better than those sold for export, and even the masterpieces of the craftsmen of the Durrant Empire could not be compared to them at all.
Under the onslaught of 20,000 ox orcs, the Berun cavalry was taken by surprise, and their proud cluster charge came to an abrupt halt as if it had been stuck in the throat, and all that remained was a head-to-head duel like a positional battle. Having lost the impact of movement, the light cavalry was the opponent of the orc infantry, and the casualties of the Berun cavalry suddenly increased significantly.
