Chapter 553: Entanglement
The War Charge has just been launched. In a short period of time, whether considering the consumption or their own state, Diack and the others cannot immediately launch it a second time.
At this moment, looking at the giant rat knight who had turned into a roadblock and rushed towards them, a head-on attack was inevitable.
The Claw should have devoted most of its cavalry force to the attack on the lizardman phalanx, and the number of giant rat knights left here just in case is not that large.
There is no way to count those who were mixed up in the rat tide and were blown away by their war charge.
But at this moment, the number of giant rat knights charging forward from the front was only one or two hundred.
There are fifty-five centaurs in total. Compared with them, the giant rat knights on the opposite side have a very obvious numerical advantage.
However, Diack and the others did not appear too panicked.
The giant rat, the mount of the giant rat knight, is indeed huge enough for a rat, but it is still not big enough in front of the burly centaurs.
In a competition of individual strength, the Giant Rat Knight opposite them was definitely no match for them.
Even though the opponent's numerical advantage is obvious, the centaurs are not so afraid.
But the problem now is that the purpose of their attack this time is not to attack the rat tide or the giant rat knights on the opposite side. They are heading towards the regular army positions of the rat men.
However, now they are being continuously sniped by the rat men.
For things like running attacks, there is also a saying of "one rush, then weakens, and three times it is exhausted". Now it is being continuously suppressed. Drogo knows that being consumed along the way like this, he wants to achieve his goal again. I'm afraid it's difficult.
But thinking about it, we still have to fight what needs to be fought.
Previously, because some of them were not proficient enough in war charge, they still left it to Diak to lead the team when performing war charge.
Now that the war charge has been carried out, Drogo naturally goes to kill again without hesitation.
After a wave of confrontation, flesh and blood flew everywhere on the battlefield.
This time Drogo and the others failed to directly smash through the rat tide like they did before, and then walked away.
You can do this to infantry largely because they have power, which infantry does not have, and you cannot catch up with them even if you want to.
But when the enemies are also cavalry, the centaurs have power, and so do the giant rat knights. After a head-on collision, how easy is it to shake them off?
The cavalry of both sides directly entangled each other.
In the process, the centaurs' purpose was revealed, and Talon began to direct the troops to move their positions.
Drogo, who caught a glimpse of this situation from a distance, subconsciously wanted to get rid of the giant rat knight and start pursuing him.
However, in the process of their entanglement with this group of giant rat knights, the rat tide that had fallen behind and the group of giant rat knights mixed in with the rat tide caught up again.
They were dragged by the giant rat knight with their lives, and they couldn't leave now even if they wanted to.
During this period, looking at the rat tide and another group of giant rat knights that had caught up, Drogo knew that his mission this time was a failure.
Thinking of this, I felt annoyed in my heart, and then I stabbed a giant rat knight through with a spear as if to vent my anger!
Almost at the same time, a bigger melee started surrounding the Centaur troops.
Zhou Chongshan, who had just dispersed a small wave of rats at that time, undoubtedly noticed the situation over there, and suddenly cursed in his heart, "What the hell". At the same time, he immediately glanced at the ratman who was shifting positions in the distance.
In just a short time, the rat men on the opposite side had moved their position to a farther position.
In that position, with no one providing frontal restraint, it would be extremely difficult for just one of their cavalry to break into the opposite position.
After briefly judging the situation, Zhou Chongshan pulled the reins and without hesitation chose to support the centaur troops led by Drogo.
After all, judging from the situation of Drogo and the others, even if they can hold on until the second war charge to break through, I am afraid they will have to pay a heavy price of casualties during the period.
From their perspective, they certainly did not want the Centaur clan to suffer heavy casualties.
Following Zhou Chongshan’s order, the Zhou cavalry immediately took action.
However, when the battle has reached this point, whether it is the soldiers or the horses under them, the continuous consumption of physical energy has destined that their condition has inevitably begun to decline.
This also made Zhou Chongshan dare not fight as unscrupulously as he did at the beginning.
While the troops were transferring support, he took the time to let the soldiers and horses take a few more breaths. This was one of the few opportunities for them to adjust on this battlefield.
Later, after the distance was shortened to a certain extent, with Zhou Chongshan’s cry of ‘The whole army charges! ’, the Zhou cavalry galloped wildly again!
Drogo and the others, who were deeply involved in the melee at that time, undoubtedly noticed the arrival of Zhou Chongshan and the others.
However, they did not take the initiative to meet in that direction. Instead, they changed to another direction and started charging.
Led by Zhou Chongshan, the arrival of the Zhou cavalry was like throwing a bomb directly into the lake. With a 'bang', the entire lake completely exploded!
The scale of the rat tide composed of rat slave soldiers here was originally small. Coupled with the continuous killings of the centaurs, the scale became even smaller. It mainly relied on the giant rat knights to entangle them throughout the process. Make it impossible for Drogo and the others to escape.
Now the charge of the Zhou cavalry directly turned the rat tide upside down.
This side suffered an impact, and the entire rat tide was also affected. Drogo and the others seized the opportunity, looked in another direction, gained some speed, and launched a strong attack.
The two sides formed a set of coordination intentionally or unintentionally. As they rushed to kill each other, in the blink of an eye, they directly rushed the rat tide to pieces, and the last two cavalry units joined forces. When they arrived at one place, they rushed towards the outskirts of the battlefield, intending to temporarily break away from the battle, regroup at the outskirts, and then fight back.
However, how could the giant rat knights on the side of the rat men give them this opportunity? After catching them, they were chased and beaten all the way.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, after experiencing many rounds of attrition from the rat tide, and running around for support, the Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan were already exhausted.
As the horses' physical strength declined, it was difficult for them to show their initial speed. It was naturally even more difficult to escape the pursuit of the giant rat knights.
Drogo and the others, who entered the scene halfway, were in good condition, but how could they leave Zhou Chongshan and the others to retreat alone?
“Damn it, fight them!”
Drogo turned around and faced the giant rat knights who were chasing after him.
“Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!!”
"Kill!!!"
