Chapter 241 Cattle bring new possibilities to heavy cavalry
Even though the vast majority of bison in the world belong to the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla, they belong to the family Bovidae.
But cattle and cattle breeds have always been different.
Some cows are stubborn and strong, while some cows are weak and timid.
Even humans are like this.
Some people are born in Rome, and some people live in Rome for generations.
Obviously, the bison living in the abandoned land belong to the former, and can generally be classified as the strong ones.
This is not hearsay, but an understanding gained by Antolia's army in actual combat.
However, since the Antolians had previously focused their attention on the pigs, it was not until this moment that the war ended that Leon could truly calm down and carefully observe this man living in the abandoned land. Fresh species.
According to Leon's own 1.0 vision observation, these bison are much larger than ordinary cattle.
But the big circle is not fat, but strong.
Even though their bodies are covered with a layer of long, dark brown hair that is as rough as a yak, Leon can still see the unparalleled explosive power contained in their bodies from their limbs, which are as thick and hard as stone pillars. .
But that's not actually the most striking feature of these bison.
The horns on their heads are not only extremely thick, they are even nearly one meter in length.
In the previous wars, the bison driven by the pigs relied on their powerful explosive power and the hard horns on their heads to tear apart the defense line built by the Antolian soldiers with armored vehicles.
"Wilson the Buffalo."
Leon has always been a sucker for names.
Since these bison were captured on the battlefield at Fort Wilson, it seems reasonable to call them Wilson bison at first glance. If you think about it carefully, it is really quite reasonable.
"Well done, Lord Marquis!"
Todd on the side quickly acted as a cheerleader, and the surrounding waiters also applauded one after another.
Only the bison, which was chained by the Antolian soldiers, let out a dissatisfied grunt.
But that doesn't matter!
That’s awesome!
Either they serve as laborers, or they serve as mounts.
If neither of the above works, then it can only be the dishes on the Antolian table.
And since even the Pigmen can create a cavalry with these Wilson Buffaloes, then the Antolians can naturally do the same!
Leon has enough confidence in this.
If Antolia's militia can achieve a new achievement of everyone having cattle after everyone has a horse, then let alone the Kingdom of Andals, even in the Kingdom of Walras in the north, Leon will definitely dare to go sideways. !
After all...
a cavalry whose mounts are entirely made of bison, this is no ordinary cavalry!
This will definitely be a heavy cavalry!
Even though Blue Star's long history has proven that heavy cavalry has always had flexibility, durability and other debuffs.
But the problem is...
the Wilson Bison in front of us seems to have mitigated the impact of these problems to the greatest extent.
Not to mention that their strong bodies can carry a fully armed knight effortlessly. The fur on their bodies alone is enough to block arrows, which is enough to save the bison from having to wear armor!
As long as the vital parts are protected with iron armor, Antolia's oxen cavalry will definitely write a colorful chapter in the history of heavy cavalry in this era.
oh! wrong!
There was no heavy cavalry in this era. Therefore, if the Antorians can really build a heavy cavalry, they will definitely make history!
"How many were captured?"
Leon stretched out his hand, brushed the rough and slightly dry cow hair, and asked aloud.
"There are probably more than 400 of them that are alive and kicking now."
Todd quickly gave the answer: "The rest of the bison are either dead or have some injuries on their bodies. It is not certain how many of them will survive. "
"Enough!"
Hearing this, Leon nodded with satisfaction.
On the previous battlefield, because the Antonian armored vehicles blocked the charging pace of the pigs, a large number of bison and pigs were blocked together, so that the pig cavalry in the rear could only hit the front. And this also leads to the sharp horns of the bison causing indiscriminate damage.
Therefore, by the end of the war, if there are more than 400 of them still alive and kicking, the vitality of these Wilson's bison can be said to be tenacious.
"Lord Marquis, what should we do next?"
Todd asked hurriedly as Leon's frown gradually relaxed.
In his opinion, the Pigmen were defeated this time, and Antolia's army should naturally pursue the victory.
It's not just for merit.
In other words, what is more important is the pasture controlled by the pigs.
Although the Wilson bison in front of them showed some changes due to the presence of black mist, their essence is still cattle after all.
As long as it is a cow, it needs to eat grass.
Monkey's tail is a favorite of Wilson's bison.
Just the scattered ones growing around Fort Wilson cannot support this large herd.
"The pigs' territory is hidden in the black mist. If you want to pursue the victory, you must first negotiate with the elves to get enough fire."
Leon naturally understood the meaning of Todd's words, and followed his gaze After scanning the messy battlefield in front of him, Leon finally gave his answer.
The Shadow Manipulator is clunky after all.
Although it is not impossible to march with the Shadow Manipulator all the way, the problem is that if the Shadow Manipulator breaks down halfway, or the enemy attacks destroys the Shadow Manipulator, wouldn't Antolia's army Want to get lost in the dark mist?
Therefore, if you really want to go deep into the black mist, the eternal fire of the moon elves is undoubtedly indispensable.
And...
the pigs are definitely not the only race hidden in the black mist.
Although the Antolian people are bound to win the pasture covered with monkey tail grass, they still have to carefully consider how to attack it and whether to attack it.
Anyway, thousands of pigmen have already surrendered at the foot of Fort Wilson, so the pursuit of victory will naturally not be limited to the past few days.
If the pig people have limited strength, then it doesn't matter if they are a few days late.
But if the pigs are so numerous that they can recover from this fiasco in just a few days, then Leon can only give up for the time being, or even reconsider the number of Antorians garrisoned in the abandoned land.
after all……
What the Antolians are currently participating in is cross-server matching between races.
Conflict with a noble who can still regret his move and admit defeat are two completely different dangers.
And...
