Chapter 1225, Winter Song (14)(1/2)
Lu Chenguang originally thought that the Tauren heavy infantry could ignore the harassment of the wolf cavalry of the Condor Heroes, and walked to Xuchang unimpededly in front of the other party.
Even if all the wolf cavalry of the Condor Empire were equipped with crossbows, they could not stop the advance of the Tauren heavy infantry legion.
As a result, after only one night, Lu Chenguang found that he was wrong, and he was very outrageously wrong.
On the night of camping in the wild, Lu Chenguang, Shui Ruyan and the soldiers of the Tauren Heavy Infantry Legion were tossed all night, until it was dawn, and they could not sleep peacefully for a short while.
Although the wolf cavalry did not dare to attack the camp guarded by the Taurus soldiers head-on, they would occasionally shoot cold arrows into the camp.
Facing the cold arrows put out by the wolf cavalry, the Taudo warrior directly raised several circular shield walls with his shield to fight against the cold arrows of the wolf cavalry.
After seeing the reactions of the Taurus warriors, the wolf cavalry immediately changed their tactics.
They set up piles of bonfires outside the Tauren camp, and then threw oil-soaked torches into the camp.
Under the powerful run-up of the wolf, the torches of the wolf cavalry were thrown high and far, and many tents in the camp were lit by the torches.
Although the Taurus soldiers quickly extinguished the flames with ice and snow, no one dared to block his ears and sleep in the tent at this time.
Because no one knows when the tent they are in will be lit, and no one wants to taste the taste of being burned by the flames.
When the Taurus soldiers took out the cotton ball that blocked their ears, they were destined to be sleepless this night.
Because from the night falls until the sky is bright, the howling of wolves outside the camp has never stopped.
Thousands of wolves howled at the camp together, and no one could fall asleep peacefully under that decibel.
Sitting in the camp and listening to the sounds of wolf howlings outside, Lu Chenguang was extremely upset at this time.
He now regrets not bringing the archers in Zhengzhou City together.
Although those archers are a burden when traveling during the day, they can be used to defend the camp after night.
If there were a large number of archers in the camp at this time, the wolf cavalry outside the camp would definitely not dare to be so arrogant.
Under the intimidation of the archers' long-range firepower, the wolf cavalry did not dare to get too close to the camp.
The wolf cavalry did not dare to approach the camp, so they would not be able to harass them by setting fire as they do now.
Without the threat of setting fire, the Taurus soldiers could block their ears and go to bed with confidence.
Unlike now, no one dares to fall asleep easily, fearing that when will the camp where they are located suffer from unrestrained disasters.
......
Lu Chenguang thought that the situation would get a little better after dawn. After all, the wolf cavalry outside had been following them for a day and a night, and had been struggling for a day and a night.
Although no one in the camp had closed their eyes last night, they could at least sit there and close their eyes and rest, unlike the wolf cavalry outside who kept tossing.
In a sense, they are also waiting for their work.
However, when it was bright and Lu Chenguang saw the energetic wolf cavalry outside the camp, he was shocked first, and immediately shocked.
Even though he didn't rest for a night, his head was still a little blurred, Lu Chenguang knew that it was not the same wolf cavalry army that harassed them during the day and at night.
After learning about the bad news, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan discussed it, and then immediately decided to march forward at all costs, and to make sure to walk the remaining seventy kilometers in one breath.
Because both of them knew very well that if the wolf cavalry of the Condor Heroes were dragged down like this, the entire Taurus Legion would probably be completely dragged down because they could not get effective rest.
Although most of the Taurus warriors did not fall asleep last night, they were a race known for their endurance and could not knock them down without resting one night.
So, after breakfast, the Tauren heavy infantry army embarked on the journey to Xuchang again.
This time, no matter how the wolf cavalry harassed them with crossbow arrows, the Taurus soldiers would not pay attention to them.
Before leaving, all the Taurus soldiers tied them to both sides of their heads with cotton cloth and plywood, simply protecting their heads.
In this way, although their sight will be greatly affected, the wolf cavalry's crossbow arrows, which are already limited in power, cannot hurt their heads.
As for other parts of the body exposed outside, it depends entirely on luck. Anyway, they have thick skin and flesh. As long as they are not shot into the vital area, they will be stung by big mosquitoes.
The method Lu Chenguang came up with was very effective. Although many Tartar soldiers on the periphery were shot by crossbow arrows because of this, the slightest skin trauma had no big impact on the Tartar soldiers.
So, after ignoring the harassment of the Wolf Cavalry's crossbow arrows, the marching speed of the Tauren Legion immediately increased.
Seeing that this continued, the enemy's Taurus Legion was about to completely break away from its control. Lang Wudi immediately sent a team of wolf cavalry to find support.
When it was noon, Lu Chenguang was riding a white horse and talking to Shui Ruyan, a riot suddenly came from the front of the Tauren Legion.
"What happened ahead?"
Seeing that the moving team suddenly stopped, Lu Chenguang instinctively asked.
"Report~~~, report to the Grand Marshal, a centaur army of unknown origin suddenly appeared in front of our army.
After the centaur army appeared, they immediately began to throw javelins at our army.
In desperation, the soldiers in front of our army could only arrange shield formations on the spot for defense."
Just as everyone around Lu Chenguang was full of confused expressions, an elf warrior riding a war horse rushed back from the front, bringing extremely bad news to Lu Chenguang.
After listening to the report of the elf warrior, Lu Chenguang's face immediately turned dark.
What kind of centaur army is an unknown origin? Isn’t that the centaur army hidden by the Condor Heroes?
The indigenous elf warrior doesn’t know, can Lu Chenguang still not know?
Facing the Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang could forcibly march forward regardless of the consequences, but facing the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire, Lu Chenguang did not have the courage to do so.
Because the Wolf Cavalry Legion's specialty is to use super power to carry out raids, harassment and pursuit.
They are not good at attacking tough problems at all, and they are even less good at fighting troops like heavy infantry.
And the Centaur Legion is different.
The Centaur Legion not only has super high maneuverability, but also has outstanding armor-breaking ability. Javelins, big axes and long spears are the magical weapons they use to break armor.
The javelin directly turns the centaur into a semi-range soldier.
Taking advantage of his own speed of running forward, the javelin thrown by the centaur warriors was strong and could easily penetrate some less solid shields and armor.
The spear can give centaur warriors the ability to charge the formation that is comparable to the heavy cavalry.
Taking advantage of his huge weight and the inertia of charging forward at high speed, the Centaur Legion's rushing ability is no worse than that of regular heavy cavalry.
After ordinary heavy cavalry rushes into the enemy formation, they must rush out as soon as possible.
Because once they lose their speed, they will immediately fall into a siege, and they will easily be knocked down by the enemy and beaten to death.
Centaur warriors are different.
They are strong and powerful, and they are not afraid of any close-knit combat.
After losing their speed, they can quickly throw away their spears and pull out their battle axes to continue fighting.
Facing the tomahawks wielding by the centaur warriors, the heavy infantry's armor did not play a great role in protective role at all.
Because huge power will be directly transmitted into the body through the armor, damaging the inner abdomen, and even directly shaking people to death.
In the face of head-on battle, the Taurus heavy infantry was not afraid of the centaur warriors at all.
But now Lu Chenguang and the others are rushing to Xuchang, and the entire legion is not in good condition.
So at this time the appearance of the Centaur Legion of the Condor Heroes Empire was like a bolt from the blue for Lu Chenguang and the others, and directly forced them into a desperate situation.
"Order the army to stop advancing and to set up defenses on the spot."
Knowing that it would definitely not work if he had to break through, Lu Chenguang immediately issued an order to defend on the spot.
After the messenger left, Lu Chenguang looked at Shui Ruyan beside him, hesitated for a moment, and spoke:
"President Water, now the centaur legion of the Condor Empire is in front of us.
Surrounded by these two enemy troops, which are known for their mobility, it is impossible for us to safely walk the remaining sixty kilometers.
For the sake of the present, I can only hope that Li Yufeng will send troops to help us rescue the siege.
If you want to send out the news of help under the strict enemy's seal, you can only send out the demon clan team under your command.
President Shui, we don’t have much time left, please give orders!”
As Lu Chenguang said, after they were blocked by the centaur army of the Condor Empire, if no one came to pick them up, they would definitely not be able to walk the remaining sixty kilometers.
Because the centaur legion of the Condor Empire can launch an attack on them anytime, anywhere.
Without a complete defensive formation, they will easily be dispersed by the Centaur Legion, then divided and surrounded, and wiped out one by one.
The only one who can rescue them is Li Yufeng, who has entered the eastern Henan Plain.
Only when Li Yufeng led his army to come in time can they have the possibility of escape.
However, the most critical question now is not whether Li Yufeng comes to save them, but how they can pass the news to Li Yufeng.
Send a cavalry team to break out on the ground?
Surrounded by Wolf Cavalry and Centaurs, this possibility is basically zero.
Send owl messenger to go through the air passage to deliver the message?
Not to mention that there are not many owl players here, even if there are, it is difficult to escape the aerial blockade of Seraphim warriors in the Eagle Empire.
If the ground cannot be moved, the air cannot be moved. The only way left is to have the magic player with the ability to change.
Only they can break through the land and air blockade of the Condor Heroes Army and transmit the message out.
To be continued...
