Ting Yuxuan's cavalry regiment has about two thousand people. There are two thousand people, and they are all uneven. In such a large-scale war, attacking the enemy's troops head-on is simply a choice between return and no return.
Fortunately, before they all died, they cooperated with some mages who left the city to destroy all the siege equipment of the undead army.
In this kind of large-scale battle, the mage does the most damage. But mages are too fragile. They run slowly and have low defense. If they are allowed to destroy the opponent's siege equipment, they may be completely wiped out by the opponent before they reach the attack distance.
Seeing that the members of the cavalry regiment that he had finally trained all dropped one level, Qi Luoyu felt painful and anxious. Fortunately, the opponent's siege equipment has been destroyed, reducing the pressure on one's own side.
Under the attack of the siege equipment, the city wall facing the monster had completely collapsed, and the nearby arrow towers were all destroyed. As Shatler waved his hand gently, the war drums became louder and louder, and the undead army began to move forward. .
The first to attack the player is the undead archer. They used projectiles, and the rain of arrows almost covered the entire sky. The density was so dense that it was like a wall of arrow tips pressing down from the sky.
"Raise your shield."
The players in the front row immediately raised their shields, and the arrows landed on the large stainless steel shields that were as tall as a person, making a clanging sound. Except for this row of players, all other players who can hold shields raise their shields high above their heads to prevent attacks from above.
A wave of arrows passed, and the players lost hundreds of people. Some were directly shot into hedgehogs by the arrows, while others were injured to death by buildings destroyed by the arrows.
"Counterattack. Archers, fire."
Following Qi Luoyu's order, Ting Yuxuan and other archer players who came to help defend quickly formed a team and raised their bows and arrows to counterattack the opponent.
During the time when the undead warriors advanced towards the station, the archers and magicians from both sides fought each other several times, causing damage to each other. However, in general, players are suppressed by the opponent and suffer greater damage.
"Tsk. Is this a monster siege? It's simply a legion battle." Seeing the opponent's neat formation, the fat man didn't know what to say.
Players who died after Ting Yuxuan were teleported back one after another. Some of them have died once or twice, and some even three or four times, but they still have high morale and try their best to defend the station.
Boom. The sound of the drums suddenly changed, and the undead warriors separated to both sides, and a group of cavalry covered in thick iron armor appeared behind them.
Heavy cavalry.
Players held their breath. Heavy cavalry has always been a weapon on the battlefield. Unless there is a mage legion to restrain it, or the heavy cavalry collides, there is almost no unit that can stop the heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry here is not the heavy cavalry with the fourth-level professional title, but a specialized cavalry unit. The training of heavy cavalry is extremely resource intensive. Each heavy cavalry legion consumes several times more resources than an ordinary cavalry legion.
The helmet that covers the entire head, only the visor with two eyes exposed, the thick and strong body armor, and even the mount under it are covered with a layer of defense. Except for the gaps at the joints, the defense of the heavy cavalry is very sufficient. Normal attacks can only knock out a little bit of health.
About two thousand heavy cavalry marched in unison to the beat of a unified drum, forming a dark line, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"Mage, attack."
The mage team led by Qian Xiaoqian fired various magics at the same time, roaring towards the heavy cavalry troops.
A black light suddenly emerged from the heavy cavalry. Any magic that fell on the heavy cavalry, when exposed to this black light, disappeared silently like a mud cow entering the sea.
"Forbidden magic." Some players exclaimed.
Forbidden magic is a special kind of magic that can ban most magic attacks. However, this kind of magic is difficult to obtain, and it is not in the skill list of magicians. Usually, someone gets the forbidden magic scroll by chance. But so many heavy cavalry were cast with forbidden magic, it was obviously not the fault of the scroll.
Each of the two thousand heavy cavalry was cast with forbidden magic. All magic cast by the players were ineffective against them. The expressions of the players listening to Yuxuan immediately changed.
"Forbidden Demon, Forbidden Demon." Qi Luoyu's face was extremely ugly, and he was almost repeating these two words through gritted teeth.
"Earth mage, mire trap, prepare, release."
Qian Xiaoqian's expression remained unchanged and she continued to direct the mage troops to cast spells.
This time it was not an attack skill. A swamp more than fifty meters long and ten meters wide appeared in front of the heavy cavalry. The row in front was caught off guard and immediately fell into it.
The one in front was stuck in the swamp and was unable to move for a while, and the heavy cavalry behind them urged their horses to catch up. The two immediately collided, causing a brief chaos.
Seeing this opportunity, Qi Luoyu immediately ordered the arrow to be fired. This time there was no random volley of arrows, but specialized archers staring into the eyes of heavy cavalry or mounts to attack.
The mage troops behind the undead army took action in time to eliminate the mire trap state. In this short period of time, at least a hundred heavy cavalry were killed by archers.
"Amazing. Didn't you see that beautiful woman carrying a big silver bow? The archer hides the professional marksman. She killed more than a dozen heavy cavalry by herself."
"It's a hidden profession, it's really amazing."
Ting Yuxuan's earth mage continued to release swamp traps to block the heavy cavalry's attack, while the mage of the Undead Army released skills to dispel the effects of swamp traps. The two sides became entangled for a while, the swamp trap appeared, the heavy cavalry stayed for a while, the effect of the swamp trap was dispelled, and the heavy cavalry moved forward.
But this is not good for players. Because although heavy cavalry moves slowly, it is compared to light cavalry. During the few seconds of cooldown of the swamp trap, the heavy cavalry can advance more than ten meters. Slowly, the heavy cavalry approaches the player.
The Undead Legion is not the only heavy cavalry unit to attack. As the heavy cavalry advanced, the light cavalry had already circled around from both sides and started fighting with Ting Yuxuan's players.
The purpose of the undead army is very simple, which is to use heavy cavalry to break up the player's team, and then use undead warriors to destroy the player. The mage and archer troops in the rear dealt heavy firepower.
If there is a city wall, the two sides will be in a fierce battle, but without the protection of the city wall, the players have no troops to stop the heavy cavalry unless they use human lives to fill it.
"If we can form a heavy cavalry force in the Sky City..." Fatty had various thoughts in his mind. The mounts used by these heavy cavalry are nothing more than a kind of earth lizard beast, but they have sufficient endurance and cannot compare with the sacred unicorn. A cavalry unit composed of sacred unicorns as mounts, and they were also heavy cavalry. Tsk tsk, thinking of this, the fat man couldn't help but smile.
The heads of the various gangs below also had bright eyes. Most of the games are about one-on-one duels based on strength. Even if there are large-scale team battles, they are just players of the same profession getting together to launch an attack. How can they compare with this kind of military unit that is specially designed for the battlefield.
"We must form a heavy cavalry." This is the consensus of all gang leaders.
Nowadays, everyone still fights in small ways. Even if there is a gang war, it is just a random PK. Once there is a large-scale gang war or even a national war in the future, this large-scale battlefield unit will have a great advantage.
In today's world, individual heroism has long become a thing of the past.
The two thousand heavy cavalry were not very skilled, but they firmly occupied the attention of most of the defending players. Their defense is so high that some can still sit firmly on their horses and attack players in front of them after receiving more than a dozen attacks in succession. Only a few players happened to shoot at places not protected by armor, causing damage to them.
The only shining light in the field was the archer who had switched to a hidden profession. He was truly a marksman. Almost every arrow could hit a heavy cavalry in the eye. So far, she has killed nearly a hundred heavy cavalry by herself.
If she was given time, she could kill all the heavy cavalry alone, but obviously she didn't have this chance. After the mage of the undead army dispersed another swamp trap on Ting Yuxuan's side, the heavy cavalry troops began to charge.
The rumbling sound was earth-shattering, and the other three city walls that had damage were collapsed by the sound. The charge of the cavalry is the sharpest, especially the heavy cavalry. With the sound of their mounts trampling the ground, an indomitable momentum rises.
"Stop them."
In desperation, Qi Luoyu gritted his teeth and issued this order. A group of knight players had been impatient for a long time. After hearing Qi Luoyu's order, they all took out their shields and charged towards the heavy cavalry.
Boom. As soon as they made contact, more than a dozen of these knight players were knocked off their backs and fell off their mounts. Then they were severely trampled by the heavy cavalry and turned into white light and returned to the city. But the remaining players stepped forward to resist their attacks with their flesh and blood.
"Thief, kill."
Qi Luoyu vomited softly, and hundreds of thieves players sneaked in and disappeared in the wind.
Thump, thump. The heavy cavalrymen fell off their mounts one after another. There are other players restricting the movement of the heavy cavalry. The thieves are like a fish in water, and their flexible bodies can move around among the heavy cavalry. At this time, the heavy equipment of the heavy cavalry became an obstacle. They were unable to attack the agile thieves, and every powerful and heavy attack often fell into the air.
The knight players and warrior players tried their best to block it, creating such an opportunity for the thieves. The thieves did not live up to their expectations. After losing nearly two thousand players, this heavy cavalry unit was finally defeated.
"NPCs are NPCs after all. They can't take advantage of heavy cavalry at all." The fat man shook his head.
The advantage of heavy cavalry lies in attacking fortresses, especially when facing large regiments. An organized heavy cavalry unit can inflict devastating blows to the opponent. Unlike now, if only a corresponding number of players are killed, they will all be lost.
