Description

This time I am using Jiangdong Archers Lvl5 in a map which doesn't favour archers AT ALL. Now at lvl 5, my archers gain a special ability called Cheval-de-frise that look like tank traps and does really well against horses. Basically as soon as horses touch them, they receive heavy damage and literally stop charges. You will see how one enemy does an amazing hurdle over the trap later.

Unfortunately, Banditcam doesn't record my cursor so I am left looking like an idiot in this video with seemingly random camera shakes.

At the start, I quickly push my troops to the bottom left to support the left lane. I am using Bo Cai here so the best formation for my archers was the single line.

Gameplay is a little stale at the beginning but watch as my teammates at both the Left and Right lanes get owned by the mirror troops. In particular, the enemy cavalry is used potently by the enemy general as you can see at 01.45. The whole killfeed is nearly swamped by the Zhongyuan cavalry charge kills. This means that I was unfortunately dealing with enemies which knew their stuff but my own allies were pretty bad. My teammate simply gives up at the end at 02.45. SHAMEFUL DISPLAY!

Of course, I immediately knew I was screwed. By 03.00, I knew the cavalry would reach me soon enough. At 03.15, I moved my troops into a square formation to deploy my special ability and just in the nick of time too. Watch as the enemy general literally gets thrown off his horse as it dies to a tank trap. I quickly take advantage of that by killing him. The delay in his AI cavalry getting stuck on the tank traps also let me have some 1 on 1 time with him. Left alone, his second teammate quickly falls to me as well. Watch the bottom left funny comments made by myself and my teammates as I quickly retreat to my home base.

I try to replicate the same manoeuver but to no avail because I was dealing with infantry. They don't get damage from touching the tank traps and these were slow pikemen that are not used to charge. I take potshots at the closest enemy but he wisely decided to wait for his teammates while behind cover. WHY DON'T MY TEAMMATES DO THAT?

Eventually, the game is lost because they go straight for my marshal. However, I hope this video helps you boost your confidence when using archers against your strongest enemy which is heavy cavalry.
