Sky-shaking shouts rang out, and countless tauren warriors jumped out from the battle line holding battle axes, spears and even totem poles. Their violent charge was like a real herd of bison galloping on the grassland. Ferocious beasts must also avoid their sharp edges.
The strong bodies of the strong tauren erupted with terrifying speed and endurance - in a short sprint, these brave and skilled Shuharu warriors were able to overwhelm any Centaur front line.
The centaurs and the tauren have been sworn enemies for so long, so they naturally know that charging head-on at this time is a sure way to die. Their formation has been broken up by the alliance's artillery, and a large number of archers and spellcasters have not yet arrived. Before it could do anything, it turned into an indescribable mass.
If they don't retreat and the tauren really catch up with them, it will be a real tragedy.
So all the centaurs stepped forward and ran as fast as they could. They felt that they had never run so hard in their lives. But before they had time to feel happy because they had gained a little distance, there was a burst of sound that shook the earth. The sound of horse hooves came.
Hundreds of cavalrymen wearing heavy armor and holding lances stabbed them diagonally from the rear of their formation like sharp knives. The centaurs who were busy running for their lives were scattered even more without any resistance.
Sometimes the cavalry's lances were even strung with the corpses of three centaurs. After the momentum of the charge slowed down, the cavalry decisively threw away or broke the lances, or the lances covered with corpses, and drew out their swords.
The impact of the Alliance heavy cavalry on the centaurs plunged them into chaos again. These centaurs, who relied on instinct to fight and had no combat qualities at all, were simply more fragile than farmers after suffering successive heavy losses.
The long swords of the cavalry slashed wantonly. The centaurs could only pick up wooden shields or scimitars to block, and they would be chopped to the ground. However, more centaurs were busy running for their lives. The swords of the alliance soldiers They didn't even look at the blade coming at them, they would rather get hurt than escape.
But how could they escape so easily from the ambush laid for them in advance? When some centaur shamans still wanted to resist and tried their best to organize elemental spells to attack the alliance cavalry, the tauren behind them had already caught up.
The thick and heavy totem pole suddenly hit him, as if a centaur hit a thick tree trunk while running at high speed. The skull and spine could not withstand such a heavy blow, and the centaur shaman who was still preparing a spell suddenly fell down. On the ground, lifeless.
The unprotected spellcaster can kill even the weakest soldier with one strike, let alone a naturally powerful race like the tauren. Any attack on the shaman and other centaurs will make them scream. I couldn't even scream so I knelt down.
When the battle progresses to this situation, there is no suspense about the ending.
After a chase, only a few centaurs were injured and escaped. This centaur vanguard was almost wiped out, while the alliance and the minotaurs only suffered almost negligible casualties and some artillery shells.
Kane held the rune spear that was still dripping with blood, and looked at the enemy corpses everywhere with great emotion - finally one day, the centaur also tasted the pain.
At the same time, he was also very fortunate that the Tauren tribe had received help from the Alliance. Without the Alliance's artillery, the Minotaurs would be the ones to receive long-range firepower before hand-to-hand combat. Centaur archers could shoot while running, which would cause huge trouble to the Minotaurs.
It is difficult for the Minotaurs without cavalry to pose an actual threat to the Centaurs. Each charge leaves at most a small number of Centaurs who are deeply encircled. Most of the Centaurs can retreat comfortably while continuing to shoot at the Minotaurs. .
The tauren attacking from a long distance will definitely not be able to catch up with the centaurs. Under such an offensive, the tauren can only forcefully let the centaurs evacuate only after they are incompetent and furious and pay a considerable price.
The centaurs will continue to harass the tauren in this way, and the tauren have no choice but to swallow their anger, because the opponent's advantage just hits their weakness.
The strength of the tauren lies in their close combat and frontal charges, but the centaurs are never stupid enough to confront the tauren head-on. They always use this "kite flying" method to wear down the tauren's fighting will.
However, with the help of the Alliance, their artillery can tear apart the Centaur formation before the Centaur cavalry archers can draw their bows, and cause them considerable casualties. Moreover, the Alliance's cavalry is not inferior to the Centaur in speed. , which can effectively prevent the centaur from leaving whenever he wants.
Once the centaurs and the coalition forces got into entanglement, Kane was confident that he could eliminate them all with only a hundred Shuharu warriors. These weak wastes were not their enemies at all.
"Oh ho ho, Kane, it looks like you've killed a lot of nasty centaurs too - damn, have these guys never had a shower? The stink on their bodies is worse than the smell of blood!"
Muradin held his nose and rode his goat from the side. The war hammer and battle ax hanging on his waist were still dripping with fresh blood.
Even though he is sitting on the goat, you still have to look up and talk to Kane when facing him.
Well, this may be the only drawback of these peaceful but brave warriors, they are too tall.
Kane bent down slightly in a very considerate manner, so that Muradin would not look up at him, "Hello, Muradin, I am glad that you were not injured by these scum. Their counterattack before death was still a bit fierce. .”
"Hey, they are too weak." Muradin said that it was impossible for the centaurs to pose a threat to him. "I thought some of them could fight, but now it seems that the most powerful one was defeated at the beginning. You did it."
Kane nodded. He recognized the tattoos and decorations on the centaur. He was not an ordinary soldier, but a high-status warlord. He was most likely the leader of this group of centaurs.
In addition, the opponent was able to withstand the bombardment of the cannon. Kane seized the opportunity and did not give the Centaur warlord a chance to fight with him. He quickly killed him, which greatly shocked the Centaur and encouraged himself at the same time. Human morale.
The subsequent defeat of the Centaur was within Kane's expectation.
"As expected, that guy should be the centaur warlord. It was he who led these centaurs to rob us -" Kane looked at the edge of the plain and said slowly, "We can I feel relieved for the time being, although this loss of manpower is nothing to the centaurs, but their khan will definitely use the rat weapon."
"It looks like it will be much easier to help you solve this problem than I thought," Muradin responded. "I thought they would continue to send overwhelming numbers of soldiers to attack us."
"Perhaps, but not now. Centaurs and wild boars have an extremely fragile balance in the Barrens. Once this balance is broken, the wild boars guarding the mountains and deep valleys in the south will destroy them without us doing anything. Drive away.”
"In this case, if they want to invade the Barrens again, they can only choose to take the northernmost detour through the Stonetalon Mountains, but I don't think any centaur will like the terrain there."
Kane explained the current situation. The centaurs came from the Desolate Land in the west. They wanted to plunder the wider Barrens. They could either take Feralas through Thousand Needles, or take the Stonetalon Mountains through the mountain road to get there. It's a barren land, and neither stretch of road is easy to walk.
In fact, Kane didn't know where the centaur clan that threatened the tauren came from, but if they gave up their outpost in the Barrens, they would have to cross half the continent and reach the Barrens. It's a difficult thing.
Therefore, after losing such a force, the Centaurs should be somewhat restrained. As for completely eradicating them from the barren land, it is not within the scope of Kane and the alliance to consider.
After all, centaurs are also wandering around. If you want to find all their camps in the barren land that is almost the size of the entire Lordaeron, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, the tauren are planning to evacuate here and leave the barren land to centaurs and Wild boar people, letting them have endless conflicts and consumption here is actually a good thing.
