"Mage, the ranger retreats 50 meters. The heavy shield soldiers quickly surround him and block him from me!" Sylvanas shouted loudly as she flew towards this side on her sitting wolf.
The mages and raptor rangers breathed a sigh of relief, and all retreated 50 meters. The human heavy shield soldiers ran in front of the mages with all their strength, and re-erected the triple iron shield. The demon guard surrounded the heavy shields.
The shield soldiers also hurriedly raised their shields and gradually closed in on the demon guard.
Because of the mage's back side, there is a gap in the area covered with magic in front. Although there are more than a dozen Hellfires in the gap, due to the perfectly connected oscillating shots of the Frostwolf Rangers, the Hellfires are still unable to rush over quickly.
But without the blocking of the covering magic, in the gap, a group of orc wolf cavalry suddenly rushed in from behind Hellfire. The wolf cavalry was very fast, and rushed in front of the human infantry line in the blink of an eye.
When the mage and ranger reorganized into the main formation, at least 800 orc wolf cavalry rushed into the gap. Like sharp daggers, the 800 orc wolf cavalry directly penetrated the lined-up defense line and rushed towards the camp.
Sylvanas stopped the running wolf and shouted loudly: "The mage immediately covered the gap with 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 infantry defense line. The ranger quickly avoided the orc wolf.
The cavalry charge line!”
The reorganized mages immediately cast blizzard magic on the magic-covered gap! There, a red tide of orc infantry was pouring in from the gap. The elf mages covered a large area with blizzard magic, and the red tide of orc infantry was like a group of people in a frying pan.
The red ants howled in pain, but had no way to go. Countless people were killed and injured at that time.
The impact of the cavalry required some distance for the war horses to accelerate, but in such a short period of time, 1/3 of the orc cavalry had penetrated the defense line of the human infantry, and the elf rangers behind them had to get out of the way.
At this critical moment, the human cavalry finally rushed into the gap in the infantry defense line and violently collided with the orc cavalry. They cut off the orc cavalry at 1/3 of the orc cavalry team, and the two sides intertwined in a melee. The orc cavalry
In the latter part, due to the impact of human cavalry, the forward momentum was lost.
Five hundred orc wolf cavalry and 700 human cavalry started a life-and-death fight. After the 300 orc wolf cavalry in the front section penetrated the human infantry line, they ran into the fence surrounded by logs in the Allied camp without enough room to turn.
Next, he had no choice but to rush into the gate of the Allied camp that had been opened.
Because there is not much space behind them, if they force a turn, they must slow down the speed of the wargs, otherwise they and their mounts will fall together. But among so many elf rangers and human soldiers, slowing down the cavalry is tantamount to seeking death.
There is no absolute strength or weakness between arms. Only the right arm is used in the most suitable place, and that arm is the strongest. In a wide plain encounter, the cavalry charges the infantry. Even if the light cavalry charges the heavy infantry,
Heavy infantry can't stop it either. But in the swamp, neither heavy cavalry nor light cavalry can be a match for light infantry.
The same is true in narrow areas. The advantage of cavalry is speed, and the impact brought by speed is huge. In fact, the lethality of cavalry against infantry in group charges is mainly due to the trampling and impact of mounts. The knight himself can use a knife
There are not many opportunities to kill people.
Don't think that it's impossible to ride and kill people while riding with a knife like in the TV series. Such situations are only possible in single combat or in battles with a small number of troops.
There are only two results in a group charge, either the infantry formation is disrupted and scattered, and then trampled to pieces by countless war horses, or the cavalry horse misses its front hoof and hits the iron plate, loses impact speed and is killed by the infantry.
A cavalryman who has lost his speed and movement space is no different from fighting a man sitting on a bench holding a knife or a man standing holding a spear. It will only be a matter of time before he is killed. Therefore, if the infantry wants to defeat the cavalry on flat ground, the only way is
One way is to mix the horse legs.
No matter what method is used, whether it is trapping the horse in a pit, mixing the horse rope, or blocking the horse stake, the essential purpose is to mix the horse's legs and cause the cavalry to lose its impact speed.
Of course, fighting cavalry in a fenced camp is the best way, which is almost equivalent to beating a dog with a closed door. However, generally no cavalry will attack foolishly, and in a small camp with fences, there will be no infantry foolishly
He did not set up any defense in front of the position, but only held his spear to withstand the charge of the cavalry.
Unless it is an encounter, then the infantry will have no choice. Because in an encounter, time is tight, and the infantry basically does not have time to set up defenses, so the infantry will basically be massacred.
In short, just like Chinese chess, no one chess piece is powerful, all chess pieces can eat each other, it just depends on whether they meet the conditions. The only difference lies in which of the different chess pieces can play a greater role in the overall situation.
The same goes for the arms in war. Each arm 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 a competition, the cavalry will often win because the cavalry's rapid maneuverability is very important to the overall situation.
The impact of war is too great. The weapons equipped with cavalry are actually mainly used to deal with enemy cavalry, not to cut down infantry.
"The light infantry goes up to help the cavalry and kill the 500 orc wolf cavalry! The brown wolf rangers ignore the orcs who rushed into the camp and cooperate with the human cavalry and infantry to kill those orc wolf cavalry first."
Sylvanas didn't care about the orcs who rushed into the camp. The frontal infantry defense line must be stable. Those human cavalry could not be the opponent of the orc wolf cavalry. Their desperate attack was just to block the charge of the orc cavalry.
Make them lose speed.
If not, no one can stop the charging cavalry. Unless the mages can cover it with magic, but this is impossible.
Not to mention the current mixed battle between the two armies. If the mage interrupts the covering blizzard magic, the orcs' follow-up troops will continuously rush in through the gap in the covering magic, and the situation will be even worse by then.
"Close the camp gate!" The commander of the Lordaeron Legion shouted to the soldiers guarding the camp gate when the orc wolfriders charged towards the open gate of the allied camp.
"Don't shut them down! Let them in and then shut them down." Aurelia loudly stopped them.
"Why?" the Lordaeron Legion Commander asked.
"The front line of defense is already very dangerous. They must not be attacked from both sides. Put these 300 orc wolf cavalry into the camp and kill them!" Alleria said.
After 300 wolf cavalry rushed into the Allied camp, the gate of the camp was closed heavily.
Alleria picked up the bow and arrow, turned around and took away 10 Frostwolf guards. As she walked, she said: "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."
Seeing Alleria riding a white ice wolf and leading more than a dozen Frostwolf rangers, chasing the orc wolf cavalry. The commander of the Lordaeron army gritted his teeth, pulled out his 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."
He mounted his war horse and was followed by a dozen knights.
