Chapter 194 Recover(1/2)
Chu Ge couldn't help but frown. Obviously, this monster was completely different from the monsters he had known before.
It seems that this monster has more brains!
When the previous monsters encountered the various tactics of players, their response methods were quite formulaic. They simply used their barbarian soldiers to rush up recklessly. When they found that the reckless soldiers were unable to do anything, they gradually concentrated the monster's power. Finally, they exposed themselves and were killed.
Beichen was killed easily.
But this monster didn't do that.
It seems to know very well that concentrating the magic energy first will put it into a very passive situation, so it is always trying to change the tactics of the barbarians, trying to use tactics to reverse the current situation.
From the brainless pig attack at the beginning, to later changing the cavalry tactics to cut off the four corners of the military formation, and then to using heavy cavalry to chase the player's cavalry troops...
Although these measures did not change the demon's disadvantage on the battlefield, they did create certain obstacles for players.
But this time, the demon seems to have discovered that the player's infantry array is impregnable and cannot be charged down at all, so it doesn't even use the light cavalry's method of cutting corners.
Simply gather all the cavalry together and completely eliminate the player's cavalry units first!
This obviously took advantage of the gap in arms between the two sides.
The Northern Barbarians' army consisted entirely of cavalry and had excellent mobility.
The main components of the player are infantry. You can indeed gain a good advantage against cavalry in a military formation, but once these cavalry leave, it will be difficult for the infantry to pursue them.
Because once they leave the structured vehicle formation, the infantry formation may become scattered, and if the Northern Barbarian cavalry suddenly kills a carbine at this time, things will be difficult to handle.
Chu Ge looked at General Deng: "What should we do?"
General Deng said: "It depends on how your Majesty plans to deal with it. Let's take a rest first and stay put."
…
At the same time, the cavalry players who were constantly fighting also discovered the changes in the movements of the Northern Barbarian army.
"Your Majesty, these Northern Barbarian cavalry seem to be surrounding us?" Zhao Haiping quickly realized the danger.
The most important thing when a cavalry unit is fighting is to maintain mobility at all times.
Once the demon controls a large number of Northern Barbarian light cavalry and surrounds them in a desperate manner, blocking all the players' paths, using the corpses of Northern Barbarian cavalry to surround them and letting them fall into the quagmire, what happens next is very complicated.
It’s difficult.
Maybe all these players will have to return to the resurrection point.
Although there is still one life, this loss is almost unbearable for the player.
The players looked into the distance and saw countless Northern Barbarian cavalry coming in like a black tide, which indeed brought them a great sense of oppression.
Although the Northern Barbarian cavalry had suffered a lot of losses in previous battles, the numerical gap between the two sides was still very large at this time.
"What should I do? How about letting other players rush out to respond?" Some players asked.
Sheng Taizu reined in his horse and said, "Why are you panicking? The infantry phalanx is right not to move. It's just a rabble. You still want to stop us?"
"Let us test you. If you want to return to the infantry formation, how should you go?"
The players were stunned, but quickly reacted.
Yes, the infantry can't come to save us, but we can fight back!
The infantry square formation is not a solid square formation. There is still a lot of space in the middle. The cavalry can enter the infantry square formation first and then find the right time to rush out.
Of course, completing this operation requires very tacit cooperation, but in any case, this is already the best option at the moment.
If that’s the case…
Well, in fact, most of the players present have already done this question.
Isn't this the content that was tested in the copy of "Exploring the Bag and Fetching Objects"?
Find the weak spot in the enemy's formation and break through it, finally reaching a specific location.
It's just that the last step in the dungeon where you searched for items was to kill the enemy general in formation, but the current situation is to return to your own army's formation.
Fan Cun said very proudly: "Your Majesty, I can do it!"
He quickly explained his thoughts.
Taizu Sheng nodded slightly, then shook his head: "Well, yes, that's not right either.
"If you want to return to the military formation in the shortest distance, there is no problem with your route.
"But why do we need to take the shortest distance back to the military formation?
"Come, charge with us!"
When Sheng Taizu picked up the reins of his horse, the war horse stood upright, its front legs lifted off the ground, and then rushed towards the weak position of the Northern Barbarian cavalry in front!
Other cavalry players also followed suit.
…
The other players in the military formation have now finished reorganizing themselves, and the players who have just been resurrected have also been reorganized into the queue.
Before getting orders from General Deng, they had no way to rush out to meet the enemy and could only watch the performance of these cavalry players helplessly.
Under the leadership of Sheng Taizu, they were seen fighting from left to right, fighting continuously.
Sometimes he rushes straight towards two groups of Northern Barbarian cavalry and forces his way through the gap in the middle; sometimes he suddenly turns his horse's head and bites a weaker light cavalry and slashes at it wildly; sometimes he is about to be surrounded.
But somehow he found a gap and escaped from the encirclement...
Four words appeared in the minds of all players: Take a leisurely stroll!
Although the speed of heavy cavalry is not as fast as that of light cavalry, under the leadership of Sheng Taizu, these players, who can be called the low-end version of General Qin Kaiyun, reproduced the cool maneuvers of beheading enemy generals in the cavalry trial, and slipped away the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Round and round.
Those who can run fast cannot defeat these players; those who can beat a dozen cannot catch up with these players.
After successive battles, a large number of Northern Barbarian corpses were left on the battlefield.
But it can be seen that the physical strength of the players and the physical strength of the war horses are rapidly depleted. If this continues, the situation will become precarious.
The pursuit of the Northern Barbarian cavalry has become more urgent. It seems that the demon has also seen this. Even if these cavalry are spared, the player's cavalry will be trapped to death!
But at this time, the cavalry players finally arrived in front of the infantry formation.
With a "swish", a hole immediately opened on the side facing the cavalry players.
The players who originally held the spears quickly moved the chariots away and placed the spears on the ground, allowing the cavalry players to quickly enter.
The galloping horses' hooves brought up a lot of smoke and dust, and each cavalry player successfully returned to the team.
But closely followed were the Northern Barbarian cavalry controlled by demons.
At this time, these cavalrymen seemed to be red-eyed, following the player's cavalry team regardless, trying to rush into the formation.
Because once they rush in, it is very likely that the entire military formation will completely collapse!
However, they were not successful.
Because before they got close to the military formation, a large number of long-range weapons had already locked onto them.
Many bows, arrows, muskets and artillery have been gathered in advance, and they are firing wildly at the Northern Barbarian cavalry following the cavalry players!
Although some players were too excited and caused accidental injuries, causing the cavalry players who were lagging behind to curse at the resurrection point, in general, the price paid by the monsters was still much higher than that of the players.
When the last cavalry player entered the military formation, the innermost players picked up their spears again to block the gap.
Not long after, the gap was completely blocked again, leaving only a large number of corpses of the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
The cavalry players who returned to the military formation dismounted one after another and lay on the ground panting.
"Stimulate!"
"It's so exciting. I haven't felt so good about killing in a long time!"
"I'm completely exhausted, let me take a rest..."
This charge required a huge amount of physical energy, but the players were still unsatisfied.
The demon controlled the Northern Barbarian cavalry and attacked the players' military formation with great anger, but ultimately ended in failure.
Sheng Taizu got off his horse and looked at the players lying on the ground: "You juniors, your physical strength is so poor! Where are you now?
"However, your talents are quite good and you can all be made of them."
Zhao Haiping asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
After returning to the military formation, it was safe for the time being, but if both sides continued to stare at each other like this, they would not be able to eliminate all these monsters.
Taizu Sheng chuckled: "Isn't this difficult to handle?
"When your physical strength is restored, then go out and kill again.
"At this point, we already have an advantage in terms of troop strength. When the advantage is large enough, the infantry can leave the vehicle formation and attack.
"When the time comes, we can naturally go head-to-head and eat all these cavalry!"
General Deng asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty Taizu, I heard... In the early years of our reign, we could even use infantry to chase down cavalry. Is this possible?"
Taizu Sheng nodded: "Of course, the powerful soldiers of the Huaihe River cannot be matched by the fine cavalry. However, the conditions for the infantry to chase down the cavalry are harsh, and it is not possible every time."
To be continued...
