Cavalry is another comparative advantage of human beings. Of course, the advantage here mainly refers to the advantage of heavy cavalry. The light cavalry is really stronger in terms of orcs.
Thanks to the advanced armor forging technology, the human heavy cavalry is a well-known and powerful force on the mainland. Of course, the heavy cavalry is good at attacking the front, and the light cavalry is good at detour. At present, the front is pushed by the heavy infantry, and the heavy cavalry can't go up, so they can only send the light cavalry to attack the flank.
As for why not send heavy cavalry to charge from the middle, it's mainly because I didn't expect the first wave of attack to be effective. According to sklam's original plan, the first few waves are to deliver vegetables. They want to consume first. Because the heavy cavalry is an ace force, it can't be used as food.
At present, the number of the enemy is so large that it is impossible for the heavy cavalry to break through the enemy's formation. Once it can't break through and be surrounded and annihilated, it will really be a loss. However, I just didn't expect that the tentative consumption effect would be so good, which is easier than sklam thought.
In short, the side attack must also begin now, otherwise if the enemy's two wings close in the middle, the middle forces will be surrounded, so we must put pressure on both sides.
Sklam's arrangement is very timely, because he is really good at large-scale battle command. After all, he is a commander who has fought for so many years. Let's not talk about his ability to respond, but his ability to push the military line is really powerful. When do you know what to do? Although you listen to the foundation, you have the initiative. Unlike the general Xiweier opposite, she actually doesn't know when to do what. Up to now, it has always been the Terran to do what she should deal with. It's good to listen to what she sees. What's bad to listen to is passive adjustment. It's always the Terran side taking the initiative.
Just like now, the cavalry on both sides of the Terran began to act, and the elf side naturally responded accordingly. The troops on both sides are ready to meet the enemy, and the elves' cavalry also start to move.
Yes, the elves also have cavalry. Linton knew it before. I've seen the elves riding a strange looking Warcraft when wandering around the elves' barracks before. To describe it, it's a large four legged lizard with blue skin, not a reptile lizard like Komodo dragon, but one with long legs and can run.
Different from horses, this lizard runs with two hind legs. When it doesn't run, it falls to the ground with four limbs. Because the limbs are claws, it is estimated that there is still some attack ability, and the comprehensive strength should be much stronger than that of horses. Maybe it belongs to an evolutionary version of the Raptor.
This kind of Mount gives the elves' cavalry a little advantage, but Linton doesn't think it can make much waves. The main reason is... The number is too small.
Linton estimated that the number of Warcraft that did not know its name was not many. In short, the number of elves' cavalry was not many. At present, when we see them attack, we calculate the number... About 2000? Linton doesn't know why the number is so small. After all, there are 80000 troops in the elves, including 2000 cavalry? What does this do?
What makes Linton suffocate even more is the response method of the elf family. The Terran side is really surrounded by light cavalry on the left and right wings at the same time, and the elf family sent cavalry on both sides at the same time. The Terran did that because there were many cavalry. There were tens of thousands of cavalry on each of the left and right roads, but the elves themselves had so many cavalry. Are you still divided?
The correct response should be to concentrate the cavalry on one way, let the infantry resist on the other side, and concentrate all the cavalry on this side to defeat one way and then support the other way. After all, you have few cavalry, so you can only adopt the strategy of local advantage, but now you have fewer cavalry, you still divide your troops, one on the left and one on the right, 1000 to 10000. Can you play?
Linton doesn't know whether Sylvie on the other side is more addicted to copying homework, or is too confident in the elves. Do you think it's OK for cavalry to fight ten?
Sure enough, the development of things was no different from Linton's expectation. The cavalry confrontation between the two sides was not long. The cavalry of the elves have another advantage, that is, shooting ability. Because the elves are all marksmen, shooting on the mount is the basic ability of their riders. They can not only shoot, but also shoot accurately.
There are no magic skills of this level on the Terran side, and there are also people who can ride and shoot, but each team is probably a few people with better equestrian skills. Most people don't have this ability, but they also have a way to deal with it, that is, using crossbows.
Because of the high forging technology, the Terran already has the technology of one handed crossbow and arrow, which can be launched with one hand without two hands. This invention greatly reduces the technical threshold of immediate shooting. Although it still needs two hands to shoot, the technical amount of shooting is much simpler than aiming shooting.
Of course, the accuracy is another problem. Just like the previous infantry teams, if the number is the same, the Terran cavalry team is really not the opponent of the elves, but the problem is that now it is ten to one, the accuracy is not enough, and the number comes together. If ten people shoot you one, you can't shoot 100 shots.
Therefore, the end of the cavalry confrontation on both sides was very sudden. When they met, they shot each other first. There were casualties on both sides, and the number of casualties was almost the same. However, there were 10000 people in the Terran, and dozens fell, which was irrelevant. The Elves were 1000, and dozens fell, which hurt muscles and bones.
Then there was a frontal collision. Unexpectedly, there was a collision between the cavalry teams on both sides. The cavalry team of the elves here was directly scattered. From a distance, it was like the Terran cavalry team directly ate the elves cavalry team. There was a huge gap in quantity. Even if the elves cavalry had advantages in some projects, it could not make up for it. After a round of collision, The whole Elven cavalry became scattered.
However, after smashing the Elven cavalry, the Terran cavalry did not continue to harvest the rest of them. They continued to move forward. After all, their main task was to attack the flank rather than destroy the other cavalry. The choice of the Terran cavalry is to directly collide with the Elven flanking forces.
The light cavalry can attack the flank mainly by harassment. After all, the Terran light cavalry have long-range weapons. Of course, it is also possible to keep shooting at a distance. However, this method is not good for the elves. The infantry team of others has better shooting ability than you. At this time, keeping a distance and shooting is the act of looking for death. Therefore, the cavalry team here doesn't say a word. It means that light riding should be heavy riding, but it doesn't want to cause much damage. It's mainly to break up the formation, because it doesn't want to break through on the flank, From the beginning, it was just the purpose of harassing the flank.
But the Terran side did not expect that the impact effect was very good, so good that the light cavalry team rushed through each other's formation. The cavalry team on the Terran side did not understand why the anti impact ability of the elf infantry was so poor. After all, they had no experience against the elf before.
They don't know that the elves themselves have no experience against cavalry. It has been said that the elves haven't fought for more than 30 years, and they have little experience against cavalry on this great plain. Most of the terrain of their country is forest, which is not suitable for cavalry fighting, So the elves didn't plan to develop any cavalry at the beginning. It's useless, and their soldiers don't know how to deal with the cavalry rushing up. They haven't encountered anything.
Weapons against cavalry were also unprepared. The cavalry on the Terran side are always against other countries with cavalry. They have ways to deal with each other, which can be said to be rolled out. Now so surprised, it can be said that they have never seen such dishes.
Although I don't know what's going on, but what to do next, the Terran side is also experienced. Although there was no such plan at the beginning, if it was broken through, it would naturally be a division, encirclement and suppression. In fact, this kind of situation was encountered in the previous battle. It was used by the light cavalry when harvesting the other party's disabled soldiers. The other party's morale collapsed, the battle array was broken, and the enemy just wanted to escape. It was the first time to harvest in this way. This scene was directly broken by a frontal blow.
In short, after the Terran side is really opened, it is gradually found that these elf soldiers are really... Addicted to food. Before, the generals above said that this was a hard battle and the Elves were powerful, which made them very nervous one by one. But really a dozen, that's it?
Similarly, the generals who observed the war in the rear also looked confused. Is that it? It's said that the harassment flanks seem to be directly penetrated on both sides. They all begin to doubt themselves. The elves are afraid that they are not showing weakness and luring the enemy deep, luring their cavalry deep, and then encircling and hanging? Such a situation has also been encountered in previous wars. After all, we really used all kinds of tactics during the inner roll period.
"You think too much. The general general of the elf family is not that level." Fortunately, sklam's mind is still very clear. In the current situation, as long as he doesn't think much, he must lower his thinking level to cooperate with the other party. Don't make things worse.
"Everything is normal. Look at the surface. Don't think about it." Said scrim.
"Marshal, we seem to have an advantage in the frontal battlefield." The next general reported again. Sculam looked. It was true that the troops in the middle of both sides had begun to fight close to each other. He couldn't see what was going on in the elves, but their own troops didn't break down, but they withstood it.
"Can withstand the first wave?" The general nearby doesn't believe it again. How can he resist it?
"Whatever, the second wave of support." Scrim waved.
