Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality - Chapter 567
c570 Close Combat (I)
The soldiers in crimson uniforms raised their improved flintlocks, stared at the approaching pack animal transport team, and placed their sights on the escorts standing scattered beside the transport team.
“Open!”
Pulling the trigger, the smoke screen rose, and a rain of lead bullets swept past the pack animal convoy not far away, which was dragging rare ore back to the defense area.
The transport team without any bunkers fell like miscanthus under the pressure of the wind under the rapid three-round shooting of the ambushers. It disappeared into the ground in a stream of light blue light, leaving behind a floor full of holes in the clothes.
Members of a transport team lay down under the vehicle frame to escape, raising their flintlock rifles and preparing to shoot at the attackers.
Everyone knows very well that once there are casualties in the transport team, their lord will see the death information on the information panel, and at the next moment have the cavalry from the territory dispatched to search for traces of the transport team along the route.
The mission of the escort is to delay the attacker’s movement as much as possible.
“charge!”
The officer of the ambusher pulled out his waistband and shouted to his infantry. The soldiers holding long rifles immediately emptied the barrels of their rifles, and began to charge with precision weapons like drills.
The escort knew they needed to stall for time, and the officer leading the assault knew this too.
Break out of cover and use a quick charge to take out any resisting Guardsmen.
The cry of killing rang out in the woods, and the troops in crimson uniforms rushed out of the tree bunkers and quickly eliminated all remaining guard members in a stabbing battle.
Guerrilla, confrontation, breakaway.
The first thing that the lords who took root encountered was not the regular troops of the Crusaders, but the harassment attacks from the knights who retreated in the direction of the Crusaders. The scattered knights were integrated into a new force.
The two heads of the double-headed eagle no longer bicker.
It was too late, and the two-headed eagles who no longer quarreled could not assemble a team that could fight the coalition in a decisive battle.
The 놛s can only prioritize rebuilding a cavalry force with high mobility in the Great Plains with the assistance of their new masters… Maybe the 놛s should not be called the Knights now.
The name Legion is obviously more suitable for them.
The environment of Sky Island Continent is different from other places. The shadow area of Sky Island has been stripped of its mass by floating islands for a long time through “reverse meteorites”, and this quality has been returned to the earth due to daily wear and tear.
What was originally a vein has also turned into a plain-like existence over the years. The number of tall trees here is significantly less than in other areas with a more stable environment, while the number of low shrubs and vines is significantly more than in other areas.
The plains are safe and guarded, which is the greatest test of the army’s combat ability.
The areas with the richest resources also happen to be this kind of plain that has been plowed thousands of times by empty islands. The deep mineral veins here have been turned to the surface. Those who control these areas can dig out the bones of cloud-dwelling creatures in the soil. to obtain magic materials and floating stones.
Only in places far away from the empty island ring can large-scale veins appear, the kind that can be called natural moats. Part of the coalition’s defense line also relies on this kind of natural moat that cannot be crossed.
The coalition forces are constantly reinforcing the defense lines built along the large-scale lines. We are preparing for the worst. We are preparing for the worst.
But this does not mean that they will give up the extremely rich rare resources outside the defense line, let alone hand over these resources to their enemies. After the situation stabilized, every lord under the coalition forces sent their own The resource harvesting team began to collect resources in the shadow area of the empty island.
Most of them are still carrying “war debts”.
A dead debt.
The newly formed mobile light cavalry of the Knights is to make the resource harvesting work of the coalition not go so smoothly, to avenge itself for being attacked, and to delay the progress of the coalition’s garrison for the incoming Holy See army.
There is no fancy troop composition, just soldiers relying purely on horse maneuvers.
Light cavalry usually consists of infantry armed with musket-like rifles. They will dismount after arriving at the target location to conduct an ambush. For them, horses are only a tool to assist in maneuvering – they will only consider it as a last resort. If a charge is launched and the horses are injured, it means that they can take away less loot.
The cost of this kind of cheap light cavalry is very low. Because it is not a horse-mounted battle, but a dismounted ambush battle mode, the training time can be greatly shortened.
To say that the most technical part is probably teaching a soldier to ride a horse… This is much more difficult than teaching them to use a flintlock.
Lords with high-speed troops, such as dire wolves, hunting spiders, and dire rats, will bring troops that can follow the troops and complete coordinated combat when taking action. The follower beast troops can greatly improve the combat performance of the mobile cavalry. 꺆.
‘War beast collaborative combat: shooting accuracy +5%, enemy hit rate -5%, different bonuses are obtained according to different types of war beasts. ’
‘Assault type 께 type war beast impact: The impact effect caused by this unit’s charge is +25%, the damage received during the charge is -15%, and there is a higher probability of causing a fatal blow in close combat. ’
‘The finest of hounds, sharp claws, fangs, and a loyal heart. ’
A large number of high-mobility light cavalry units were deployed in the shadow area cast by the sky island to interact with the resource transportation and harvesting teams sent by the coalition forces. The entire shadow area was full of vitality and everything was flourishing.
