rumbling...
The hooves of the heavy cavalry were like roaring tanks passing by, with a strong oppressive force, the air seemed to condense for it.
Three hundred steps is only a matter of ten seconds for heavy cavalry, and this distance is also the most threatening when charging.
Even the mighty orc infantry couldn't stop the charge of this heavy cavalry head-on.
No matter how strong orcs are, they are still animals of flesh and blood. Even a row of iron men can be knocked out by the charge of this kind of heavy cavalry.
But at this time, the orc soldiers in the front row suddenly separated quickly to the two sides, and two strange-shaped objects were pushed out.
This thing has two wings like a giant bird, except that these wings are not wings, but made of a kind of metal. These two wings are now fully opened, and there is a cold light in the middle of the two wings. Shiny Moonblade.
When Carus saw this strange bird car, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, when the heavy cavalry charged about 150 steps, two cold lights suddenly flew out from the bird cart, which seemed to be two huge silver plates with a diameter of nearly two meters. There were two sharp whistles, like the strange cry of a big bird.
The two silver plates were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the heavy cavalry, and there was only a sound of puff puff, and the horses flew straight out.
That's right, they just flew out, but their legs stayed where they were, and only their bodies flew out.
The two discs were so sharp that they cut off all the legs of the dozen or so horses in front of them.
This is the power of the blade car.
The first time it appeared, it was extremely shocking. The thighs of those heavy cavalry horses were also covered with hard armor, so that they could cut off several rows of horse legs in a row, which was only possible with a weapon like a bladed cart.
The horses of the heavy cavalry have no armor only on the calves, but when the cavalry is moving at high speed, it is difficult for long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to hit the calves of the horses. It is difficult to shoot through, so long-range attacks in this era are not a very big threat to heavy cavalry.
This is also one of the reasons why heavy cavalry can run rampant. However, today, with weapons such as blade chariots, heavy cavalry encountered obstacles in their frontal impact for the first time, and they were extremely powerful obstacles.
"What's that?" Whether it was the heavy cavalry who continued to charge, or the robbers who were watching by Carus, their eyeballs almost popped out, which felt unbelievable.
What kind of weapon can actually learn several rows of heavy cavalry into two halves at once
This weapon is really shocking.
Heavy cavalry with heavy armor can cut off several rows in a row. If ordinary infantry encountered this kind of weapon, what would be the result? All of a sudden, a person has to be sliced in half, right
Just imagine, a group of infantry is charging, and the row of people in front suddenly splits into two. What kind of visual impact and shock is that
Deterrence, the biggest feature of this weapon is deterrence.
Although the heavy cavalry behind were still charging under inertia, seeing the horses of the heavy cavalry in front being cut off directly, their hearts suddenly shrank, and their speed slowed down involuntarily.
And at this time, Xiao Yu on the top of the wall suddenly shouted loudly with a satisfied smile: "First group, shoot."
bang bang...
A series of voices sounded, and the heavy cavalry who charged behind fell down again and rolled into a ball on the ground. Some of the heavy cavalry behind stepped over directly, and some were tripped and fell to the ground.
"Second group, shoot." At this time, Xiao Yu yelled again, and there was another bang bang sound, and several horses fell to the ground again.
But at this time, the two bladed carts had been reloaded again, and two silver disks flew out again. Looking at the two silver disks flying towards them like meteors, the faces of these heavy cavalrymen were full of despair.
Puff puff…
The two moon blades passed by and cut off the thighs of more than a dozen horses. Naturally, the thighs of the knights on the horses were also cut off, and then flew out and fell to the ground, howling with the horses in pain.
"The first group, shoot." At this time, Xiao Yu shouted again on the city wall. There was a burst of thumping, like popping beans, but what it brought to people was like a note of death.
It only takes a dozen seconds for the heavy cavalry to rush in front of the orc infantry. After a dozen seconds, the orc soldiers should be dispersed, and the robbers behind can follow up and siege.
However, in these ten seconds, when the remaining less than 200 heavy cavalry rushed to the front of the orc infantry, they had completely lost the powerful impact of the charge. Although the huge knight spears in their hands were still waving, they were It didn't work at all.
The knight spear is long and heavy. If it charges, it will be a nightmare for all professions. Even the most heavily armed infantry will be pierced by this bulky knight spear and directly stabbed to death.
But without the impact of the charge, the knight gun becomes a burden.
The terrain here was already difficult to use. The orc infantry had their backs against the city gate, and they only had one chance to charge. If they couldn't cause damage to the orc infantry, it would be difficult to charge again.
If it is in the wilderness, after the heavy cavalry charges for a round, they will turn back from other angles and continue to charge. However, the terrain here clearly did not give them a second chance to charge.
So, now they are in front of the orc infantry, and they are no different from infantry.
The muskets on the top of the city are still firing continuously, and the dense square formation of 300 people is just suitable for this kind of musket shooting with low accuracy but great power.
Xiao Yu, who came from the era of hot weapons, understands the great role of concentrated use of hot weapons, so when these heavy cavalry charged, they did not let the dwarf musketeers shoot freely, but divided into two groups, and took turns to focus on shooting under his orders .
This kind of concentrated fire shooting is extremely powerful and does not require much refinement, only coverage.
Although the shooting range of twenty-five muskets is not very large, it is barely enough to deal with the charge of three hundred heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry is covered with heavy armor, which seems to be invulnerable, but this is only in theory. In some joints and other parts, the armor of the heavy cavalry is not all that thick.
The muskets hit the hardest front of the heavy cavalry armor, and they couldn't penetrate it, but it was inevitable that they would occasionally hit the chain armor on the horse's neck, the gap between the knight's chest and abdomen, and some places where the armor was relatively thin. Stop the musket bullets.
Although only a few horses could be overturned each time, it hindered the charge of the heavy cavalry behind. Coupled with the heavy firepower of the bladed chariot from time to time, the combination of the two produced such a powerful force that it completely disintegrated the charge of the heavy cavalry.
Roar…
When the heavy cavalry came close, they had no charge, and they were not even as good as the infantry.
Although they are wrapped in armor, they are still invulnerable, and they can also throw away the knight spear and attack with a sword, but it also depends on what kind of opponent they are facing.
If it is an ordinary human soldier, they are condescending on the horse, like a moving fortress, and they can still kill many ordinary soldiers.
But the orc soldiers don't take this at all.
The orc soldiers were taught by Xiao Yu a very simple way to deal with the heavy cavalry, directly using brute force to overturn the horses, and then fight again.
The orc soldiers couldn't stop the fast charge of the horse, but when the horse stopped, they had the power to overturn the horse.
Grom didn't make a move, he was watching Carus calmly, waiting for the master to come over. Because Carus is too strong, ordinary orc infantry are not opponents, and they will cause a lot of damage.
Only Grom can stand against Carus.
At this time, the other orcs were not polite at all, they quickly outflanked the horse from both sides, directly slammed into the horse with their shoulders, or slashed at the root of the armored thigh of the horse with an axe. , knocking the mighty war horse to the ground.
The heavy cavalry fell on the ground, because the armor was too thick, it was very difficult to stand up again. The orc soldier went up and swung the big ax horizontally, smashing the helmet flat, and white splattered out from inside.
"Ah... give it to me, give it to me..." Carus saw that the heavy cavalry was about to die, so he quickly shouted like crazy, and he himself rushed up quickly.
But at this time, the two silver plates flew over again, and the robbers who had just charged forward were cut off in half, and their bodies flew forward due to inertia, but the lower half ran a few steps slower. Step down.
Shocking, absolute visual shock.
If other soldiers used weapons like blade carts, it would be difficult to use them flexibly, and they would have to be pulled by horses. However, the orc soldiers fought against each other, went to another position, and continued to shoot.
The musketeer also started shooting freely at this time, scattering at the infantry rushing in the distance. The elf archers supported the orc infantry below, and when they saw someone coming up to besiege the orc infantry, they shot down with one arrow.
The musketeers would never dare to do this, their accuracy might beat the orc infantry, but the elf archers have enough confidence in their own archery, even if it is two inseparable orc soldiers and robbers, They can also accurately hit the bandits without shooting orc soldiers.
Melee, a melee.
Up to now, Carus has no other way out, and has fallen into a desperate situation. He can only attack bravely, hoping to turn defeat into victory by relying on numbers.
They wanted to attack the city wall several times to kill the archers on it, but although the human infantry was not as good as the orc infantry in fighting alone, the shield array was extremely powerful.
This seems to be a skill they brought with them as soon as they were produced. Twenty-five people lined up in a dense row, shoulder to shoulder, and the shield covered another person's body. A ladder is difficult for robbers to attack.
They don't need to attack at all, they just need to defend well, and the archers behind will help them deal with these robbers.
hum...
With a burst of golden light flashing, Xiao Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that the great magician had already reached the sixth level.
