Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 139 Tactical Objectives

Infantry charge, march forward without hesitation.

Twenty-nine level 5 Charr Guards use their military skills to charge at the forefront. Holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, they launch a fierce three-shot attack!

The archery skills of the Centaur Archers are unique among the orcs, and they have always been the first choice for recruiting long-range archer troops.

The expensive longbow is currently recognized as the strongest among the mainstream military equipment. Its characteristics are long range and great power. Equipped with a half-pound armor-piercing arrow, it can even directly penetrate the knight's plate armor from fifty steps away, which is terrifying!

However, because it is not convenient to use the feet on the ground when sitting on horseback, human archers cannot use longbows at all, and can only choose short cavalry bows with much worse range and accuracy.

The flexibility of cavalry and the power of longbows have always been contradictory options that humans cannot have at the same time. If you want one, you must give up the other.

However, the Centaur race has no such disadvantage at all. Their natural human-horse body structure allows them to be flexible and powerful. If it weren't for their poor smelting technology, they would not even be equipped with iron arrows, let alone armor-piercing arrows. Centaur archers can often suppress the same number of human archers, who can't even raise their heads.

However, this time, bang bang bang bang.

After continuous and dense explosions, many of the zither-shaped shields held high by the Charles Guards were penetrated, and arrows appeared on the back of the shields, but the guards had successfully rushed to the close range. None of the 29 guards fell. At this moment, they simply abandoned their shields and roared and stabbed with spears in both hands.

After a spear, whether it succeeded or not, they quickly switched weapons and drew out their waist knives to slash.

The Charles Guards who have been upgraded to level 5 have a skill similar to the sword-drawing technique. Most opponents have just resisted and avoided the spear tip, and the next moment the blade has already cut them close, bleeding in an instant. Most opponents are doomed to die under this combo.

The Charr melee system is very interesting. It has strong explosive power, but after the burst, it falls into a weakening period, regardless of offense or defense. Therefore, the requirements for the commander are very high. If used well, it will be of great benefit, but if used poorly, it will suffer from its disadvantages.

After charging, abandoning the spear, and drawing the sword to kill, the combat power of the Charr Guards dropped sharply. Although the waist sword is sheathed and can switch between long and short weapons, which is still very unique, its combat power has quickly dropped to a relatively weak level among the five-level melee soldiers.

However, the Haidam Death Swordsman, the Son of the Forest, and the Dark Swordsman behind the Charr Guards quickly filled the position and still maintained a terrifying offensive. What's more, the Centaur troops, which are strong both at long distances and near distances, are still inferior to the five-level Charr Guards after using combos in close combat.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all these beasts for the glory of the human race." Raymond, as the archer leader, commanded the Rhodok crossbowmen on the hillside, while Resarit, as the infantry leader, held a greatsword in both hands and fought bravely.

He was covered in black armor and was fighting bloody at this moment. His might was as terrifying as a demon king, but the warriors following him felt excited at this moment.

Rhodes, Fatis and even Kress rushed down the hillside with the army at this moment, each doing their best to create chaos and cause greater damage.

"Psychic Storm!"

Without any hesitation, Rhodes waved his left hand lightly, and the spiritual light flashed. The enchantment effect of the will-obliterating ring, the Psychic Storm, directly acted on the Centaur troops.

[Psychic Storm: After actively activating, the enemy's morale is -20 within the pointing range, and the duration is two hours. It can be activated once every natural month. ]

Although this was just a pre-attack, it was the most stressful battle, so there was no hesitation, and Rhodes used it directly.

Fatis's sword and shield combined attack is simple and vigorous. Although it seems to be orthodox, every time he fights with his opponent in close combat, his sword can turn from normal to strange, suddenly piercing out like a poisonous dragon, biting the opponent's fatal vitals. Rhodes made the right choice to give him his ancient cross sword·power, because Fatis's killing efficiency is much higher than his, so that the morale enhancement enchantment of power can be brought into play to the limit.

[Domination: Morale +10 in range, every time the sword master kills an enemy with the sword, morale +1, and morale +20 in the maximum upper limit range. ]

Cress followed Rhodes, holding a shield in one hand and a bloodthirsty javelin in the other. Her fighting method is very simple, with protecting Rhodes as the first priority, and then looking for an opportunity to throw the bloodthirsty javelin. Cress's attack lethality mainly comes from the power of the bloodthirsty javelin itself, but this is nothing, as long as she can kill people.

However, the special tactical requirements at this moment made Kress not fall into a violent state easily. He had to pay attention to the battlefield situation at all times. Any centaur archer who dared to shoot a bow at Lord Rhodes would be countered by Kress's spear in the first time.

Once the body was penetrated by the vicious magic weapon, even the centaur could not survive.

Among the dark swordsmen, Yannick and Remo Mac, after being promoted to the fifth-level dark followers, had the ability to control the dark fire. One of them held a sword in his left hand, and the other held a sword in his right hand. The five fingers of the other hand were open, and a blazing black and red flame gushed out from it. This flame was poisonous and could bring great pain to the burned person.

In just this charge, these more than 100 people almost completely overwhelmed the nearly 500 centaur troops of the alien coalition. If it were not for the forward Goatman heavy infantry unit of the alien coalition and its rearguard Bloodfang Jackal axemen. Support has already begun, and the infantry coalition of Gushan Castle can take advantage of the situation to annihilate them all.

"The crossbowmen cover, the Dark Swordsman troops are responsible for breaking up the rear, and the rest of the army retreats."

Rhodes did not let himself completely fall into the frenzy of killing. After discovering that the goatmen infantry and jackals were getting more and more support, Rhodes decisively issued an order for the entire army to retreat.

The tactical purpose of this surprise attack was to severely damage the enemy's most threatening troops, namely the Ursine infantry and Centaur troops. Now the goal has been achieved.

If the battle continues, it will be our turn to gradually fall into a disadvantage, and then be reversed by the opponent. Although the full-time sergeants of Gushan Castle are elite, the orcs have higher racial values, and their current equipment is not too bad. .

"Retreat, retreat!"

Holding a shield in one hand and a military hammer in the other, after knocking down a centaur, Rhodes stepped back with weapons in both hands and gave orders. When he saw the entire army starting to retreat, he turned around and started running.

"Fatis, I'll leave this to you, don't let me down."

"My lord, Fatis will definitely live up to your expectations."
