Chapter 1246 Ambush on the Road (extra update for 400 monthly tickets)
The premise of Li Ce's skill in playing with people's mentality is that he is good at guessing other people's thoughts. Fisher's little thoughts naturally did not escape his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Although they are a coalition, it is not strange for multiple forces to come together and prioritize their own interests.
Of course, the premise of all this is that you cannot drag them down, and at the same time you have to demonstrate a certain value, otherwise what’s the point of bringing you along?
Fisher, who took on the task, did not dare to be vague at all.
After all, they were the ones who were carrying out this mission. If he still hid it at this time, his losses would only be greater in the end.
Fisher, who had figured this out, took out all of the 1,000 cavalrymen he had and headed straight for another group of goblin wolf cavalry.
One thousand cavalrymen is already a considerable size. Unlike Yan Sheng's cavalrymen in his early years who used inferior horses to fill the numbers, these are all real war horses.
In terms of numbers, regular cavalry and goblin wolf cavalry are not comparable, because horses basically only give birth to one foal per litter, and giving birth to twins is very rare, unlike wolves, which can give birth to several foals in one litter.
However, on the other hand, they possess a strategic-level lethality that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry do not possess!
Basically, one thousand regular cavalry can directly attack an army composed of tens of thousands of infantry on the battlefield.
The Goblin Wolf Cavalry would not dare to do this, or rather, they could not do it.
Unless the enemy infantry is as fragile as the rat slave soldiers, let alone one thousand, even if there are two thousand goblin wolf cavalry, they cannot withstand charging an infantry formation of tens of thousands. Their own hardware means that they do not have the capital to do so.
Back to the topic, with the cavalry of both sides approaching each other at the fastest speed, the two sides soon had their first encounter.
"Bow and arrow ready! Aim at the target!!"
General Brett, leading the cavalry of the female warriors, shouted loudly.
“Shoot!!!”
In an instant, a rain of arrows flew out.
Faced with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who had greatly dispersed their formation, high-density conventional arrow rain could not achieve very good results.
General Brett realized this at the beginning, and immediately asked the female warriors under his command to abandon the conventional rain of arrows and focus on aiming and shooting.
Within the tribe of female warriors, hunting is an essential survival skill, which means that every female warrior can basically use a bow and arrow skillfully, and aiming and shooting while riding a horse is naturally no problem.
One by one, they showed off their unique skills of continuous archery on horseback.
Ever since the female warriors withdrew from the coalition battlefield, the goblin wolf cavalry, who had not had a head-on confrontation with the female warrior cavalry for several years, were not able to adapt to the situation all of a sudden.
During this period, the same operation was carried out by 300 Centaur cavalry led by Diak.
At Li Ce's signal, they followed the cavalry units of the female warrior tribe to assist in the battle.
As a nomadic race, the Centaurs' archery skills are beyond words.
In an instant, a large number of goblin wolf riders were knocked to the ground by the whistling arrows.
At the same time, the Pegasus Knights and Giant Eagle Knights who were following the army in the air also followed. Drawing the bow and shooting arrows was also a piece of cake for them.
Under this premise, they can also obtain a more comfortable output environment while being at high altitudes.
The Goblin Wolf Cavalry were almost beaten to a pulp by the sudden attack.
From this point of view, the enemy's attempt to disperse their forces in order to outflank and attack them from both sides suddenly seemed a bit stupid.
If all two thousand Goblin Wolf Riders were gathered here, they wouldn't be in such a mess.
Of course, tactical matters always have their pros and cons, and there is no regret medicine.
"WAAAAGH! Get closer and fight them in close combat!! WAAAAGH!!!"
Among the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, there are also generals with rich combat experience. They can see the current situation at a glance and realize that turning around and running away is a dead end. The way to break the deadlock is to actively get close to the enemy and shorten the distance so that the bows and arrows in the hands of the enemy cannot be used!
Now, with the order, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry also maintained a dispersed formation, gathering their strength to approach in one breath, and have a good fight with the opponent, letting the opponent see what they are capable of! But how could the soldiers of the female warrior tribe and the centaurs let them succeed so easily?
As soon as they saw the enemy approaching, they immediately began to retreat. While retreating, they kept turning back and shooting arrows, directly implementing the kite tactic.
However, there is a limit to such a tug of war. In the process of turning around and shooting arrows, their movement speed was affected and they were soon caught up by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, and a melee broke out.
As the chaos broke out, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, who were known for their flexibility and swiftness, showed their advantage at this moment.
At this moment, even the female warrior cavalry with strong overall strength felt suppressed.
“Everyone, get out of the way!!”
With a roar, Joseph rushed forward with a spear in hand at explosive speed.
The goblin wolf rider on the opposite side immediately jumped to the side to dodge, but in the next second, Joseph twisted his body and thrust with the spear in his hand. With an extremely fast change of direction, the goblin and the giant wolf mount were pierced through by the spear! The special feedback of the spear piercing through the flesh and blood body made Joseph excited. He picked up the bodies of the goblin and the giant wolf mount with one hand and threw them to another goblin wolf rider next to him.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Emperor!!!"
At this moment, Joseph roared, and the Centaurs on the field responded one after another, their fighting spirit boiling! The Goblin Wolf Cavalry, who should have had the upper hand in the melee with their flexibility, was quickly equalized with the entry of the Centaurs, leaving the female warriors stunned.
They hadn't paid much attention to it before, but why did they feel that the centaurs of the Great Zhou were even more courageous than those they had seen before?
There was no time to think, and the female soldiers who reacted immediately began to provide support.
Due to the limitations of the flexibility of their war horses, they basically have no advantage against the Goblin Wolf Cavalry in a melee.
So from the very beginning, Li Ce had already determined that the main output of this wave would be the Centaur cavalry of their Great Zhou.
As for the cavalry of the female warrior tribe...
Their main role in the melee is to restrict the actions of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry as much as possible and provide cover for the Centaur Cavalry.
During this time, the Pegasus Knights and Giant Eagle Knights flying in the air were also not idle. They swooped down and launched an attack on the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
Unlike regular cavalry that can only move on the ground, they descended from the sky with great speed, leaving the Goblin Wolf Cavalry with no escape! The Pegasus's hooves and the giant eagle's claws were both deadly weapons that could easily take the life of a Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
The only drawback is probably that there are too few of them.
But after one round, you can kill a lot more!
