Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 141: Retreat (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all readers!)

Although Grievous claimed that he wanted to let the Sheepmen gnaw on the hardest and toughest bones, the reality is that if they are allowed to gnaw, whether the Sheepmen can gnaw is also a big question.

The entire wilderness alien coalition is waiting, and the daily basic material consumption alone is not a small amount, and it is impossible to leave too much time for them to grind slowly.

Therefore, in the end, it was the Bloodfang Gnoll Tribe, the Bearmen Tribe and the Centaur Tribe that suffered heavy losses. All of them took action, but the Sheepmen were responsible for the frontal attack.

To be fair, although the Sheepmen's heavy infantry troops are not strong, they are also a standard and high-quality army. They wear leather or iron armor on their bodies, hold sheep-headed hammers, and focus on teamwork. These Sheepmen's heavy warriors are even more elite than most of the private soldiers of the inland lords. However: under the heavy crossbow, all beings are equal.

Although the original sentence was: "Under the lance, all beings are equal!"

It means that almost no soldiers of the same level can withstand the power of the lance charge, but the heavy crossbows of the elite Rhodok archers of the Lonely Mountain Castle have similar battlefield effects under the conditions of defense and initiative.

Hidden shooting, hidden arrows, multi-angle cross shooting, every time the foreign coalition is familiar with a new terrain, it will pay the price of blood.

After the surprise attack, Fatis, the commander of the Lonely Mountain Castle army, did not retreat to the top of the hill in one breath, but adopted a step-by-step, intercepting and retreating tactics.

This tactical style requires extremely high quality for the soldiers, because a careless retreat will turn into a full retreat of the whole army. It is easy to be reversed by superior forces against inferior forces, let alone inferior forces against superior forces.

However, Fatis knew that the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Lonely Mountain Castle army were strong, so he decisively adopted this tactic.

Continuous bleeding can make the morale of no matter how ferocious the beast is, it will be demoralized.

Of course, the enemy on the battlefield will not act according to your intentions, especially since there is a master behind the Wild Alien Coalition. Although he did not personally take action, the advanced military theoretical knowledge he brought still opened the eyes of the Wild Alien.

Under the command of Grievous, a young noble of the Fox Clan, the Wild Alien Coalition successfully entangled the Rhodok crossbowmen several times.

Normally, if the archer troops are entangled by the melee troops, they will not be far from destruction. Even as strong as the Centaur warriors, if they have been trained as archers for many years, they will also suffer a lot in melee combat.

However, these Rhodok crossbowmen taught them a lesson in this confrontation: there are really archer troops in this world who are not afraid of melee combat.

The basic physical strength blessed by the system, the advanced equipment of the Lonely Mountain Castle, the martial arts, and the fighting spirit are all superimposed and strengthened, and finally an insurmountable gap in combat power is accumulated bit by bit.

The racial value of the orcs of the wilderness is high, but their level is not high enough, and the elite scouts of the Lonely Mountain Castle are on average four to five levels.

So those senior Rhodok crossbowmen and Rhodok sharpshooters were pressed in, but they were not afraid at all. They put down their heavy crossbows and picked up broad shields and one-handed military hammers to fight the orc warriors head-on.

The sheep-men warriors are more elite than the private soldiers of most of the inland lords of Styak, and the senior and sharpshooter troops of Rhodok can be compared with the royal guards: if the royal guards of Styak have not degenerated.

Of course, no matter how powerful the melee ability is, the archer troops are archer troops after all, not used to fight the enemy head-on and die here.

Whenever the archer troops were entangled by the enemy, Fatis would take Raymond and Resarit to lead the elite soldiers of Redwood Town to rescue.

In this small-scale battle of less than a thousand people, the bravery of the generals can even determine the final direction of a battle.

Fatis's bravery and fearlessness are beyond doubt. Raymond has been holding back his energy in his heart, wanting to compete with Fatis. In his heart, he is the first knight under Lord Rhodes, but most people in Lonely Mountain Castle undoubtedly do not think so.

Raymond can ignore all these, but Lord Rhodes seems to think so in his heart. Although Lord Rhodes cares about the old friendship, Raymond is not convinced.

At this moment, Fatis rushed to the front with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. The sword and shield danced quickly. No matter whether it was the strong and ferocious bear man or the tall centaur archer, they could not stop him.

Such a heroic posture made the Charles Guards and Haidam Death Swordsmen who followed him all impressed.

Raymond suddenly shot arrows with a bow in the back corner. Raymond was not completely unreliable for not accepting Fatis. Fatis's martial arts were better than his own, but his own archery skills were much better than Fatis's, which led to Raymond's killing efficiency on the battlefield being almost not much inferior to Fatis's.

Fatis even knocked down many enemies, and he didn't care about the number of kills, while Raymond killed more people. He cared about the number of enemies he killed when he was on the battlefield with Fatis. If this number exceeded, Raymond would be very happy, otherwise he would feel very depressed, and just felt that he was indeed at a disadvantage this time.

Compared with Fatis's beliefs and Raymond's entanglements, Resarit was much purer than them. He had the idea of ​​a pure worker. The promising Lord Rhodes gave him status and a generous salary, and let his wife live a superior life in the town and make the couple feel harmonious, so he should serve that lord.

This feeling was mixed with some patriotism and racial feelings. After all, what Lord Rhodes was doing at this time was beneficial to Styak and humans.

The salary and benefits were generous, and it could satisfy one's personal feelings. Is there any better and more suitable job than this?

Although the intensity of the current work was slightly higher than expected, before arriving at the Lonely Mountain Castle, he had never thought that he would be so valued and his wife Jera could live such a life now.

Some time ago, Jera told him that he hoped to let his parents come and live for a while and enjoy his newly enfeoffed manor. Looking at his wife Jera's bright eyes when she said this, he of course agreed directly. He had never had such a heroic spirit in his chest.

These thoughts flashed through Resarit's mind. He held the sword in both hands and chopped it down fiercely. He chopped harder and harder, almost splitting a bear man in two.

To protect happiness, one needs enough power. Whether that power is wealth, force, title, or something else, Resarit will pursue it with all his strength.
