Chapter 548 Cavalry Charge
Zhou Chongshan gave an order, and the Great Zhou cavalry immediately responded, rushing into the battlefield with the sound of rumbling horse hooves.
The area where the ratmen army was fighting with the lizardmen was a plain. After leaving the outer cover, their presence was immediately exposed.
Zhou Chongshan, who had already prepared himself mentally, didn't care at all and rushed straight towards the position of the ratman regular army.
Li Claw saw it and shouted on the spot...
"I knew that old man was going to trick me!"
At this moment, I felt so relieved that I saw through Bolevin's tricks.
But at the same time, he also noticed that something was wrong with this cavalry unit.
In terms of vision, the ratmen have always had average, or rather poor, vision. It was not until the cavalry team approached to a certain distance that he realized that those coming were not lizardmen at all, but humans!
This discovery shocked Claw.
Although he had no idea what was going on at the moment, as the patriarch of a clan, Li Claw's reaction was relatively quick. No matter what the situation was, he immediately gave an order to send a tide of rats to intercept the cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan.
Facing the rat tide, Zhou Chongshan had already learned from the previous experience of the speed dragon cavalry, so he rushed forward without saying a word! At that moment, the rat tide composed of rat slave soldiers, although it looked powerful, was as fragile as thin paper under the iron hoofs of their Great Zhou cavalry.
This was a feeling they had never felt before when they attacked the Lizardman positions.
If the strength of the Lizardmen's position can be compared to a thickened wooden board when facing the frontal charge of the Great Zhou cavalry, then the strength of the Ratmen slave soldiers is really like a piece of thin paper! There is no doubt that this is the difference in strength.
These rat slaves are weaker than the lizardmen, which makes it easier for them to crush them completely! "Kill!!!"
Amid roars, the Great Zhou cavalry, led by Zhou Chongshan, rushed into the rat tide and created a crushing momentum. The fragile rat slave soldiers were easily crushed by the iron hooves of their war horses.
This scene made Li Claw's eyelids twitch in the distance.
He knew that the slave troops under his command were not very strong. After all, slave troops have always won by numbers rather than speed. However, the strength of the opposing Great Zhou cavalry was somewhat beyond Li Zlaw's expectations.
It is not difficult to see from their performance when charging into the rat tide that in terms of charging power alone, these human cavalry are obviously stronger than the Lizardmen's Dragoon Cavalry!
This made the Rat Tide, who were used to intercepting the Speed Dragon Cavalry, show obvious discomfort after their opponents were replaced by the Great Zhou Cavalry.
In order to be able to effectively surround and kill the enemy, the sharp claws not only signaled the tide of rats to attack, but also let the tide of rats spread out quickly, so as to directly surround and kill the enemy as soon as the enemy rushed up.
But this action would make the rat tide weaker. If it were the velociraptors, he could still mobilize troops to encircle and intercept them. However, this group of human cavalry showed an offensive power that was clearly stronger than the velociraptors.
A wave of charges broke out, completely in a straight line, and with that momentum, it directly penetrated the blockade line of the rat tide.
Watching this scene from afar, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Claw's eyes.
He had never imagined that human beings could burst out such powerful force!
At the same time, while quickly passing through a tide of rats, Zhou Chongshan immediately estimated the distance between him and the regular rat army's position.
Within their Great Zhou, Zhou Chongshan is a first-class archer. Most archers like them are able to skillfully use one skill, which is to estimate the distance by visual inspection.
At this time, after a quick glance, Zhou Chongshan immediately signaled the cavalry team that had just broken through the rat tide to slow down.
Cavalrymen cannot just charge at full speed on the battlefield. According to their current actual distance from the ratmen's regular army positions, if they maintain the same charging speed, their horses will probably start to slow down due to exhaustion halfway through the charge.
Sprinting at full speed requires explosive power, but the duration of explosive power is often limited.
In order to effectively avoid this, the best way is to slow down in advance, then calculate the distance and accelerate again, so as to ensure that the strongest charge you burst out can effectively hit the target.
And it was during this period that another wave of ratmen swept towards them.
At the same time, the wave of rats that had been penetrated by them before also gathered together again at this moment, and the two waves of rats formed an invisible force to attack from the front and back.
According to the mobility efficiency of the cavalry units, as long as they do not stop, it will be unrealistic for the tide of rats left behind to catch up with them.
Zhou Chongshan took a glance and didn't pay too much attention to it, focusing all his attention on the tide of rats in front of him.
After calculating the distance accurately, Zhou Chongshan gave an order and the cavalry troops began to accelerate.
Using the rat tide as the target of attack, the powerful charge capability of their Great Zhou cavalry was once again demonstrated.
The ratmen who were at the front were the first to be hit. With the sound of bones breaking, blood and flesh flew everywhere and wailing was heard everywhere.
The Great Zhou cavalry, led by Zhou Chongshan, moved back and forth in the rat tide, almost showing their invincibility.
During this process, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including Zhou Chongshan, couldn't help but have such an idea.
That is, 'The Ratmen are only this weak, and the Lizardmen can actually fight them hard? At best, they just have more numbers.'
However, they don’t know that quantity is a terrifying thing.
If Zhou Xu were here, he would definitely tell them what quantitative change leads to qualitative change means.
Soon, they paid the price for their naive idea...
No matter how fragile the rat slave soldiers themselves are, their momentum and speed will inevitably be lost the moment the Great Zhou cavalry collides with them.
Under this premise, the opponent's claws also showed their sophisticated methods.
The opposite side released multiple waves of rats to encircle and intercept the Great Zhou cavalry. The distance between the waves of rats shortened, making it not enough for Zhou Chongshan and his men to complete the operation of deceleration and re-acceleration. Invisibly, they directly curbed the cavalry's greatest weapon, the charge!
"No, we have to rush out!"
After being continuously attacked by the rat tide, the condition of the Great Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan continued to decline. In addition, their speed could not be increased, and the rat tide was getting denser and denser. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the cavalry units lost speed and were besieged and killed by the rat tide.
Before this, the Great Zhou cavalry, who had never fought against the ratmen, finally experienced the terrifying nature of the ratmen army! (End of this chapter)
