Sheng Taizu looked at Zhao Haiping with an expression that said, "You can teach me."
After a burst of fighting, the formations of both sides became very loose.
The players could no longer continue the pursuit. The distance between the two sides gradually widened, and each began to reorganize.
Sheng Taizu reined in the horse slightly to slow down the horse's speed and restore the horse's physical strength.
"The fighting ability of these barbarians is really good.
"Is this the power of being possessed by a demon?
"It doesn't matter, let's do it again.
"Array!
"Young man, this time you charge on your own, let me see how much you have learned!"
Taizu Sheng said, looking at the players.
Zhao Haiping immediately volunteered: "I'll do it!"
After saying that, he immediately patted his horse and charged towards the Northern Barbarian cavalry again.
Naturally, other players are not far behind.
Obviously, according to Sheng Taizu's wishes, if the cavalry had low tactical literacy and average morale, a tail-to-tail pursuit like the one just now would be enough to disperse the entire enemy army.
After all, an impact at a weak position will inevitably cause the opponent's formation to become extremely chaotic. Coupled with the chain reaction caused by slashing and enemy troops falling, the blow to morale will be huge, and the collapse of the formation is a high probability event.
But this is a cavalry controlled by a demon after all.
Although these Northern Barbarian cavalry suffered heavy losses under the attack of players, they are not afraid of death and will not collapse due to this.
Therefore, after establishing a distance, the remaining soldiers can be gathered together to reorganize the formation.
This means that players have to fight repeatedly to eat all these cavalry.
Sheng Taizu has already led the players to demonstrate it once, and this time he just let the players do it themselves.
In this process, players' understanding of cavalry tactics is also rapidly improving.
Many players couldn't help but lament that the entire teaching curve of the game "Dark Sand" is quite smooth!
In the dungeon of the Cavalry Trial, players learned the basic use of cavalry, which is to use flexible mobility to find flaws in the enemy's formation, and use horsepower to break through instantly and kill key enemies.
Although this kind of screening method that relies purely on talent has selected a group of players with top riding skills, the various details of cavalry combat will eventually have to be taught slowly.
The Cavalry Trial is already difficult, and it is impossible to add these elements to it.
But now, Sheng Taizu has become a very good teacher for the players.
When it comes to the military capabilities of emperors, the one from the Liang Dynasty was the first in ancient times, while Taizu Sheng ranked second.
Of course, both of them are invincible fighters in the world at the same time. This ranking is mainly based on their performance in torturing the enemies around them.
Considering that hundreds of years have passed between the two dynasties, and the tactics have also evolved, Sheng Taizu fought the nomadic cavalry in its heyday, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Sheng Taizu is the player's best teacher in terms of cavalry tactics.
The more you lay the foundation, the more important a famous teacher is.
Therefore, when players begin to understand cavalry tactics in depth, it can be said that it is appropriate to arrange for Sheng Taizu to teach.
Players can't help but sigh at the proper arrangements made by the designers of the game "Assassination".
Of course, what the players don't know is that this is not Meng Yuan's arrangement, but just some kind of natural coincidence...
The cavalry on both sides began to clash again.
While Zhao Haiping was carefully controlling the speed of his war horse, he was mentally estimating the distance between the two sides and looking for the best time to maneuver forward to the right.
But at this moment, he frowned and realized that something seemed wrong.
This was because the Northern Barbarian cavalry did not continue to rush straight ahead as before, but slowed down slightly and showed some intentions of turning to the left.
Zhao Haiping's mind flashed and he instantly understood the possible serious consequences of copying the answers.
If the player's cavalry deflects to the right and the front as before, and the Northern Barbarian cavalry deflects to the left, then the two sides will naturally move closer and pass each other.
The player's left hand will face the Northern Barbarian Cavalry's right hand.
This is obviously an absolutely unacceptable situation. When the time comes, the player will be chopped down like the previous Northern Barbarian cavalry and will be unable to fight back.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping's mind changed sharply. Instead, he made a gesture to the left and notified other players in the chat channel.
Many players following behind are still a little confused.
Didn't you agree to go to the right? Why did you go to the left again?
But after all, they were at the back of the queue and didn't know the specific situation, so they could only choose to execute the order.
"rush!"
Zhao Haiping pointed his spear forward and said loudly.
At the same time, he squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and suddenly accelerated.
The players behind me didn't understand what was going on, because every step here didn't follow what Sheng Taizu had demonstrated before?
On the contrary, Taizu Sheng laughed and was the first to follow.
Naturally, the other players no longer hesitated, and also speeded up their horses, following closely behind.
The player's horse speed has been significantly improved compared to the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
At this time, the demons controlling these Northern Barbarian cavalry were obviously a little confused.
It is ready, and when the players turn to the right, it will ask the Northern Barbarian cavalry to turn to the left, and the two sides will collide with each other.
Unexpectedly, the player did not turn, but instead deflected to the left and forward. At the same time, he increased his speed and only bit the middle position of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry!
But at this time, it is too late to make the forward of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry turn or speed up. Whether it is to complete a circle maneuver, bite the player's side or rear, or increase the speed to the same level as the player, it will take a certain amount of time.
But before that, the cavalry on both sides had already started the second round of collision!
The attack position chosen by Zhao Haiping is on the right side of the center of the enemy cavalry. If the speed is increased first, the player will have a stronger impact.
Although both sides are on the right side and have ways to attack each other, the players have a better formation after all. They attack from the middle of the enemy to the rear, which is equivalent to a situation of attacking more with less.
Soon, another round of confrontation ended.
The battle losses this time were obviously higher than before. Hundreds of players fell behind and returned to the resurrection point.
However, the players caused more damage to the Northern Barbarian cavalry. After two rounds of charges, they killed nearly 3,000 Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry.
If they were conventional troops in the cold weapon period, they might have fled at this time, but under the control of the demon, these northern barbarian cavalry were still gathering their formation again.
Moreover, the demon continues to gather more heavy cavalry.
This means that players have to repeatedly charge for many rounds before they can eat all the Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry.
A nomadic general once said that a cavalry that cannot fight for a hundred rounds is not considered an elite cavalry. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that real elite collisions are fierce battles. Whoever comes first
Whoever can't stand it will lose.
Taizu Sheng laughed: "Young man, you did a good job!
"It seems that you have initially understood the cavalry's fighting style.
"On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. It is most important to avoid sticking to the rules. Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. When using cavalry, you must clearly understand this!
"Every time you engage in battle, put your own side in an advantageous position. This is a required lesson for a cavalry general!"
Obviously, this kind of on-the-spot thing cannot be taught, you have to understand it yourself.
Sheng Taizu glanced at Fan Cun again: "This reckless boy, you come and try too! Next time you are at the front!"
Fan Cun was not afraid: "No problem!"
On the other hand, other players were a little panicked: "Your Majesty, he is just a reckless man. What if he really leads us to hedge?"
Sheng Taizu laughed: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you, just go ahead! Even if you're at a disadvantage, we can get it back!"
Fan Cun looked at the player who questioned him with dissatisfaction: "Who said I'm just a reckless person! Isn't it just to lead the team to a good position? I can do it too!"
After all, these players have all passed the cavalry trial.
In the cavalry trial, they mastered the ability to discover flaws in the enemy's formation, so strictly speaking, there are no truly brainless fools in this group of people, because it is impossible for such people to pass the trial.
Although Fan Cun's first reaction when encountering a problem is always to be reckless, it does not mean that he is really only reckless.
Although he cannot be as alert and flexible as Zhao Haiping, he still has the basic judgments he should have.
Soon, the players gathered their formation again and fought with the Northern Barbarian cavalry!
…
At the same time, the battle on the infantry array side is about to enter a fierce state.
The monsters no longer use heavy cavalry to rush into the player's formation, so the battle between the two sides is more about long-range competition.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry still used the same method as before, drawing an arc in front of the formation and focusing on attacking the four corners of the formation, hoping to use a large number of arrows to open the gap and cause the player's formation to collapse.
The players also used long-range attacks to fight back, including bows, arrows, muskets, and artillery. As for the players who were intensively attacked by arrows, they raised shields to defend themselves. After being shot to death, the people behind continued to make up for it.
Of course, both the players and the Northern Barbarian cavalry are also constantly launching missiles, avoiding the enemies in front and directly attacking the middle and back rows of the formation.
Although there were casualties on the players' side, they were assisted by muskets and artillery, and the rifle's poundage and range were greater than those of the cavalry bow, so overall they still had an advantage.
In this way, the battle between the two sides entered an anxious state.
Now that tactics that are close to the optimal solution have been used, it is no longer the tactics that determine victory or defeat, but something else.
The players had no choice but to think more. They could only constantly draw their bows and set arrows or load ammunition to counterattack. They could not rest between cavalry attacks. They had to organize their formations immediately and block the gaps.
General Deng's expression was obviously a little complicated. Apparently he had never seen such a tragic battle.
Both sides obviously suffered heavy casualties, but no one tried to escape. Even if we look at the entire history of cold weapon battles, this situation should be considered quite rare...
"How long will the demon's attack... continue?" General Deng asked Chu Ge.
Obviously, he doesn't have much experience with these monsters.
I just feel that if it continues like this, it will be too annoying.
Chu Ge said: "It should be soon.
"As long as the demons find that the damage on the battlefield is much greater than that of the players, they will gradually concentrate their demonic energy to attack.
"When the time comes, the demon's power is exposed, and the Orderer can give it a fatal blow.
"Looking at the current situation, the demon should be at his wits' end."
General Deng shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid not. Judging from the previous two situations, this monster is not an ordinary monster. There may be some changes."
Sure enough, as soon as General Deng finished speaking, he discovered that the cavalry that had been continuously attacking the military formation had retreated!
Although the battle losses of these cavalry during the attack on the military formation were lower than before, if they continue to be used up like this, the demons will definitely lose in the end. There is no doubt about this.
I just didn't expect that the demons no longer fought hard, but directly threw down the military formation constructed by the players, and all surrounded the player's cavalry unit led by Sheng Taizu and Zhao Haiping!
