Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

The first thing that greeted the cavalry charge was three rounds of stepped long-range projectiles from the Chinese army.

Crossbows and guns are still powerful weapons against cavalry, which is most obvious when the distance is sufficient.

Almost all the cavalrymen tried their best to keep their bodies as low as possible to reduce the area of ​​contact with the arrows. Despite this, about forty cavalrymen fell off their horses and dozens of horses were shot to death.

"No mess! Cavalry spread out and keep your distance! Keep accelerating!"

Xue Ying knows that this kind of shooting is not about how many troops are killed, but about easing the momentum of the cavalry's attack. Once the advantage of speed is lost, the lethality of the cavalry will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the troops he brought out with his own hands did not let go. Disappointed, after just a moment of hesitation, the cavalry began to deliberately control the distance between each other to reduce the range of damage of bows and arrows.

"no! The distance is too close and the bow and arrow can no longer exert its power!"

As the cavalry approached, the frequency of the archers' attacks could no longer cause much damage to the cavalry.

The commander clenched his fists and reluctantly asked the archers with their bows and arrows to withdraw from the camp gate. At the same time, he could display his excellent combat effectiveness at close range. of crossbowmen to move in a more favorable direction.

"Close! ——Open the camp gate!!"

Following Kranner's order, the camp gate of the Chinese army slowly opened.

But the charging Blood Eagle's heart"clumped".

Of course he knew that the wooden camp gate was almost destroyed by the impact of his cavalry. It was broken upon impact, but the other party's initiative to open the city gate really confused him.

At the same time, there was a faint sense of foreboding slowly growing in the heart of Sakaz...

But that was the end of the matter, even if it was ahead There were traps, and he didn’t believe that Regulus Harvey could rely on any small tricks to win against his thousand-and-fifth cavalry!

However, as the first war horse rushed into the camp with the open door, In the Chinese army camp, Blood Eagle finally discovered where his ominous premonition came from. In the center of the camp, the remnants of the Third Army actually dug a trap that was not too big or too small!

To say it was a trap for horses, In fact, this depth is far from enough. But the huge pit is enough to expand the gap between the ground to about fifty centimeters, and it is also deliberately dug into pits.

In the face of such a pit, no matter how powerful the horse is, Skilled riders have to slow down!

"Cavalry! bypass!"

Gritting his teeth and giving such an order, Blood Eagle knew that once this huge pit was bypassed, the problem could be solved - but at the same time, the first round of sharpness of the cavalry was worn away. But it doesn't matter, Anyway, they only need to bypass this obstacle. With the demoralized remnant army, they are still no match for their own cavalry!

Blood Eagle's idea fell through in the next second.

"ah!! General! There is a stumbling block!!"Crossbow!" It's a crossbow arrow!!"

The leading troops who were about to bypass the pit suddenly let out a scream. At the same time, dozens of riders almost screamed and fell on their backs. They obviously suffered from the tripping rope.

Misfortunes never come singly. Just when the tripping rope began to exert its power, it had already The crossbowmen who were moved around and on standby also fired a burst of powerful shots, and the screams were endless, like hell on earth.

"accelerate! accelerate! Go through it!"

The blood eagle's teeth are almost broken. Reducing dozens of people will not hurt his cavalry team, but having such casualties before engaging the enemy is a big drop for the morale of his side. Fortunately, the other side should have no choice. ——Most of the trap has been bypassed, and the snagging rope can only seize the enemy first. After sacrificing the vanguard and breaking it, it will be useless.

Next, we will fight with real swords and guns. How can those infantry fight against my group of experienced soldiers? A battle-hardened cavalry?

"Keep shooting! Shoot the horse first! Let the corpses pile up like a barbarian!"

The cold command came from Levi's mouth and turned into sharp arrows flying in the dark, shooting down several leading cavalry again. But this time the Blood Eagle learned the lesson wisely. With a long drink, hundreds of heavy cavalry They galloped out like the wind, killing the archers on both sides. These cavalry were wearing heavy armor, and the crossbows had very limited damage to them. In the blink of an eye

, several crossbowmen who were escaping were cut down, leaving Levi on his side. The commander was deeply distressed

"Give up shooting, the crossbowmen retreat, and the heavy shield soldiers move forward!"

Following Levi's order, the heavy shield soldiers lined up and moved forward, like a city wall built by people. Black cavalry swarmed in, and the shield soldiers were in groups of two, holding up the big shield together, preparing to defend. The next impact

"Regulus Harvey, I will kill you!!"

Xue Ying was furious now. Traps, stumbling ropes, hidden crossbows... the ambushes one after another finally made him see clearly Levi's plan to open the camp door. In just 3 minutes, His own cavalry suffered more than 100 casualties!

This was not just more than 100 people, but also more than 100 horses!

On the other hand, the Third Army, although it only won a few small victories, its originally low morale was due to this. He was startled. Blood Eagle knew that if this situation continued, his army would only become more and more defeated, and he had to find an offensive that could restore morale!

Thinking of this, Blood Eagle raised the sword in his hand and roared:

"Brothers, the road ahead is already smooth! ——Let the scoundrels of the Third Army see that they have offended the wrong people!!"

"Roar——！！"

The thundering roar restored a lot of morale, but the face of the Third Army changed. It was obvious that they were extremely afraid of this cavalry that had not yet been injured.

However, no one noticed that Levi's eyes were neither sad nor happy, he just stared at the camp entrance.

(The last three...the last two...the last one...Okay, they're all in.)

(Now that they're in, just don't leave--)
