Chapter 282： we go too

"Mage and ranger retreat 50 meters, heavy shield soldiers quickly surround him and block him!" Cirvanas yelled loudly as he galloped towards this side on a sitting wolf.

The mage and the Velociraptor rangers breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated 50 meters back together. The human heavy shield soldiers ran to the mages with all their strength, and re-established the triple iron shield. The heavy shield soldiers on all sides of the demon guard also hurriedly erected their shields, gradually closing in on the demon guard.

Due to the back side of the mage, there was a gap in the area covered by magic in front. Although there were more than a dozen hellfires in the gap, because of the perfectly coordinated oscillating shots of the Frostwolf ranger, the hellfire still couldn't rush over quickly.

But without the obstruction of the cover magic, in the gap, a group of orc wolf cavalry suddenly rushed in behind Hellfire. The wolf cavalry was very fast, and rushed to the front of the human infantry's line in a blink of an eye.

When mages and rangers reorganized the main formation, at least 800 orc wolf cavalry rushed into that gap. Like a sharp dagger, 800 orc wolf cavalry directly pierced through the line of defense and rushed towards the camp.

Sylvanas stopped the running warg and shouted loudly: "Mage immediately cover the magic. Block the gap for me to block the follow-up force of the orcs. The cavalry immediately attacked to block the gap in the column infantry defense line. The ranger quickly avoided the orc wolf. The charge route of the cavalry!"

The mage who regrouped immediately cast blizzard-covered magic on the gap covered by magic! There, a red tide of orc infantry was pouring in through the gap. The elf mages covered a large area with blizzard magic, and the orc infantry, like a red tide, wailed in pain like a group of red ants in a frying pan, but they had nowhere to go, causing countless casualties.

The cavalry's impact required a certain distance to accelerate the horses, but in such a short period of time, 1/3 of the orc cavalry had pierced through the human infantry's defense line, and the elf rangers in the back stepped aside.

At this critical moment, the human cavalry finally rushed into the gap in the infantry defense line, and collided fiercely with the orc cavalry. They cut off the orc cavalry at 1/3 of the orc cavalry ranks, and the two sides intertwined in a melee. Because of the impact of the human cavalry, the orc cavalry lost its indomitable impact.

Five hundred orc wolf cavalry and 700 human cavalry fought to the death. After the 300 orc wolf cavalry in the front section pierced through the human infantry line, they ran into the log fence of the Allied camp without enough room to turn, so they had to rush into the opened camp of the Allied camp. Door.

Because there is not much space behind them, if they make a forced turn, they must slow down the speed of the wargs, otherwise they will fall down with their mounts. But among so many elf rangers and human soldiers, slowing down the speed of the cavalry is tantamount to courting death.

Between arms and arms there is no absolute who is stronger and who is weaker. Only when the most suitable arm is used in the most suitable place, that arm is the strongest. In an encounter on a wide flat ground, cavalry charged on infantry. Even if the light cavalry charged the heavy infantry, the heavy infantry could not stop it. But in the swamp, neither heavy cavalry nor light cavalry are opponents of light infantry.

The same is true in narrow areas. The advantage of cavalry lies in speed, and the impact brought by speed is huge. In fact, the lethality of cavalry to infantry in group charges is mainly due to the trampling and impact of mounts. There are not many opportunities for the knight himself to be able to slash people with a knife.

Don't think that it is impossible to ride and slash people while holding a knife like in the TV series. Those situations are only possible when singled out or fighting with small numbers of troops.

There are only two results in a group charge, either the infantry formation is scattered and fled, and then they are trampled into meatloaf by countless horses, or the cavalry horse stumbles and hits the iron plate, loses the impact speed and is killed by the infantry.

A cavalryman who loses speed and space to move is no different from a man sitting on a bench with a knife versus a standing man with a spear. It's only a matter of time before you get killed. Therefore, if infantry wants to defeat cavalry on flat ground, there is only one way - to mix the horse's legs.

No matter what the same method is used, it is good to sink into the horse pit, mix the horse rope, or reject the horse stake. Its essential purpose is to mix the horse's legs and make the cavalry lose the impact speed.

Of course, fighting cavalry in a fenced camp is the best way, which is almost equivalent to beating dogs behind closed doors. However, generally no cavalry would attack foolishly. In a small camp with fences, there would be no infantry who foolishly did not set up any defenses in front of the position and only held their spears to resist the cavalry's charge.

Unless it is an encounter, then the infantry will have no choice. Because in the encounter battle, time is tight, and the infantry basically has no time to arrange fortifications, so the infantry will basically be slaughtered.

In short, just like Chinese chess, no single chess piece is strong, and all chess pieces can eat each other, just to see if they meet the conditions. The difference lies only in the different chess pieces, who can play a greater role in the overall situation.

The same goes for arms in war, each of which is powerful, but it depends on who is more important and who can have a greater impact on the overall situation. There is no doubt that in such competitions, cavalry often wins, because the rapid maneuverability of cavalry has too great an impact on warfare. The weapons equipped with cavalry are actually mainly used to deal with enemy cavalry, not to kill infantry.

"The light infantry went up to help the cavalry, and killed the 500 orc wolf cavalry! The brown wolf ranger ignored the orcs who rushed into the camp, cooperated with the human cavalry and infantry, and killed those orc wolf cavalry first. "

Cirvanas didn't care about the orcs rushing into the camp, the frontal infantry line of defense must be stabilized. It is impossible for those human cavalry to be the opponents of the orc wolf cavalry. Their desperate impact is just to block the charge of the orc cavalry and make them lose speed.

Otherwise, no one could stop the charging cavalry. Unless the mages can cover the magic, but this is impossible.

Let's not mention the mixed war between the two armies. If the mage interrupts the covered blizzard magic, the follow-up forces of the orcs will continue to rush in from the gap in the covered magic, and the situation will be even worse by then.

"Close the camp gate!" the Lordaeron Legion Chief shouted to the soldiers guarding the camp gate when the orc wolves charged towards the open gate of the Allied camp.

"Don't close it! Let them in before closing it." Alleria stopped it loudly.

"Why?" asked the leader of the Army of Lordaeron.

"The front line of defense is already very dangerous. They must not be flanked by two sides. Put these 300 orc wolf cavalry into the camp and kill them!" Aurelia said.

After 300 wolf cavalry rushed into the Allied army camp, the gate of the camp was closed heavily.

Alleria picked up her bow and arrows, turned around and took away 10 Frostwolf guards, and said as she walked, "Legion Commander, please order all soldiers who can hold weapons to take up weapons and kill these 300 orc wolves who rushed into the camp." cavalry."

They saw Aurelia riding a white ice wolf and leading a dozen Frostwolf rangers in pursuit of the orc wolf cavalry. The leader of Lordaeron's Legion gritted his teeth, pulled out his long sword, walked towards his horse, and shouted as he walked, "All soldiers who can afford weapons, come out and kill those orcs! Let's go too."

The dozen or so knights he rode on his horses followed behind.
