Just after the Xianu heavy cavalry charged into the battlefield, the ghosts flying in the sky brought Li Ziyu better news. There were more cavalrymen coming like a torrent in the distance, and their number was tens of thousands.
The sound of thousands of horses galloping and their hooves hitting the ground made the allied soldiers feel cold in their hearts. At the same time, everyone on the battlefield heard the sharp cry of "Yaoyaoyao" from a pinched throat.
The heavy cavalry had just charged into the battlefield, and Palmida hadn't reacted yet when a sharp cry suddenly rang in his ears, causing him to frown instantly. He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before, and it was a bit familiar.
After killing the skeleton undead in front of him with an axe, Palmida frantically recalled where he had heard this sound.
Suddenly, his expression turned extremely ugly.
Hydrox slave!
Damn it, it's the hydroxyl slaves!
How could there be hydroxyl slaves in this remote wasteland?!
He remembered where he had heard such a cry before. It was when he was traveling in the central area and encountered the hydroxyl slaves, and he almost died there.
The central area is very rich and there are many powerful tribes, but even so, it is still not safe and there are still many bandits and robbers.
Palmida was still very young at the time. With his fighting ability at the time, he was really nothing in the central area. Even if he wanted to travel, he didn't dare to go on the road alone. Instead, he had to follow a large caravan with guards, which was safe.
He still remembered that he had set out with a caravan of more than 3,000 people, including more than 1,000 fully armed guards. The caravan had taken that route many times and had never encountered any problems.
No one knew what bad luck he had, but the route that had never had any problems before had problems that time, and the caravan of more than 3,000 people was attacked by dozens of hydroxyl slaves.
That's right, it was dozens of hydroxyl slaves. They rushed into the caravan with such sharp whistles, like a gust of wind. Before the caravan guards could react, they were killed by the other side. After repeating this several times, the caravan lost its resistance.
That incident left a shadow in Palmeda's heart.
They come and go without a trace, are extremely fast, and have extremely strong attack power. Even if you can stop them, without the impact, their fighting power is still fierce. These are the sub-human race, the hydroxyl slaves!
After he recovered from his injury, he went out of his way to buy information about the hydroxyl slaves.
This is a nomadic people who have no fixed place to live. They believe in the eagle in the sky, have their own culture, and are very powerful in combat. They form teams of ten, squads of a hundred, and armies of a thousand. Once they have tens of thousands of people, they even dare to attack cities.
That's the central area, and the cities all have high walls. But they dared to attack with nearly 10,000 slaves, and often forced the other side to hand over money and food before they would stop.
The races in the central area have thought about exterminating the Hydronians, but they have never succeeded. The other party has no base and can move around wherever they want. If they kill a few small Hydronian teams, it will not only be of no use, but will also invite revenge.
Let's fight head-on. Those powerful tribes are okay and don't care much. With the cooperation of various types of troops, it is not difficult to deal with the hydroxyl slaves. The key is that if they don't fight you, they will continue to harass you in a mobile way, which will make you very annoyed.
They will surround your city, dig your rivers, attack your villages, and ambushes your grain transport teams, merchant caravans, and transport teams. If you send a large army, they will run away, and you won't be able to catch up. When your army leaves, they will come back around a corner, and everything will be back to normal.
Several powerful races fought against the Hydronians repeatedly for hundreds of years. As a result, the Hydronians were able to survive and live better and better. On the other hand, the technological development of several powerful races was delayed, food production decreased, and a lot of population was lost, and they gained nothing.
After learning from the painful experience, I just don't care and let things take their course.
I can't beat you, so can't I just stop fighting?
Not to mention, after the various tribes stopped fighting, the hydroxyl slaves stopped fighting, suddenly became obedient, and returned to their previous state. They used practical actions to tell those tribes that if you don’t harass me, I won’t mess with you on a large scale. I will graze my livestock and you will grow your crops. Of course, we will still plunder what needs to be plundered.
However, there are some rules for plundering by hydroxyl slaves. If you give them what they want, they will not kill you.
In this way, the hydroxyl slaves also have their own place in the central area, but they have a bad reputation.
Being able to have a place in the central area proves one thing - you are strong enough!
Palmida couldn't understand why the brutal bandits of the Hydroxyslavs who were roaming the central area came to his side!
Just when he was puzzled, the second wave of the Hydronians' charge had arrived. This group was the Hydronians' Lancers. Their armor was not very thick, and their weapons were four-meter-long spears as thick as teacups. The Lancers' horses were also specially bred, and their load-bearing capacity was far inferior to that of the heavy cavalry, but their running speed could surpass that of the heavy cavalry by a large margin.
Lancers are the fastest among the Hydroxys. After the heavy cavalry charges the enemy, the Lancers will follow closely behind and launch a terrifying attack on the enemy.
Their fighting style is somewhat similar to that of ancient Western knights. Their spears are too long, and if they fail to draw their spears during a charge, they can easily be knocked off their horses. Therefore, after the spears pierce the enemy, they will immediately drop them from their hands and replace them with light scimitars.
There is also a big difference between the scimitars of the lancers and the heavy cavalry. The scimitars of the heavy cavalry are crescent-shaped and very heavy, allowing them to kill the enemy efficiently when they accelerate and charge with the scimitar raised horizontally, just like having blades installed on both sides of the chariot wheels.
