Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"The mutated three-headed demon dog! It was that idiot Dartwine. How could it die (expelled) so easily? Such combat power is completely different from the information Dilibu gave me."

In the center of the ruins of the battle the day before yesterday, a demon general with a human figure wearing strange leather armor but a face like an octopus squatted down and picked up a head that was cut off by a hellhound.

As long as the hell generals are not punished by the hell lord, they have almost endless life and immortality. Their main form of existence is no longer matter, but energy.

Therefore, although there are many hell generals, they are clearly aware of each other's existence.

No demon general is easy to kill, even when a lot of power has been consumed by shuttling through space cracks.

Therefore, although he has high confidence in his hell flame cavalry corps, this octopus-headed demon general still hesitated for a moment.

Although high-level hell demons usually don't really die in the human world, every time they are killed, a lot of magic power will be consumed. If they are killed many times, the rank reduction/death is almost inevitable, which is more terrible for hell demons than death.

More haste, less speed; slow things down, success.

On the human side, because the demon army on the opposite side was in a state of hesitation and entanglement, they had the opportunity to recuperate.

Digging horse pits and preparing fortifications, high-level Rhodok crossbowmen used their own abilities to treat friendly forces, and the combat power of the entire army was recovering rapidly.

Crossbow formations, cavalry, and defensive formations, under such conditions, Rhodes observed the opponent's hell flame cavalry regiment through a brass telescope.

It was a group of flame horned demons with high attack and strong defense, wearing iron armor and holding greatswords, riding hell warhorses.

In this way, the most obvious weakness of the hell demon army, the flame horned demons, was almost gone. With both offensive and defensive capabilities and high-speed mobility, Rhodes had no doubt that these hell warhorses that seemed to have anti-gravity capabilities could calmly deal with the charge of the heavy cavalry of the war lizardmen.

"But, as long as you are not flanked by more than twice the number of Hell Legions, and you are not in an absolute disadvantage, and your Hell Legions are relatively close in number, no matter how elite your Hell Legions are, I am confident enough to defend and counterattack, and break all your teeth."

The human legion in front of him is recovering rapidly. Does the demon general on the opposite side know this?

It knows this.

Although he doesn't think it can recover so quickly, at least he knows that the longer he hesitates, the more combat power the opponent will recover.

But it still hesitated, because facing the combined legion of cavalry and crossbows in front of him, the most feared thing is to be entangled by the opponent, and then constantly counterattacked and weakened.

In this case, the more unwilling and undecided, the higher the probability of a major defeat in the battle. On the contrary, if you choose not to fight, the initiative of the battle is still in your hands at this moment. If you retreat with your entire army, the opponent's strength cannot stop you.

"Aileen, if you encounter this situation, what will you choose?" In the camp of his own army, Rhodes rode on a horse, pointed at the enemy army in front of him with the whip in his hand, and asked his guard knight sideways.

"If it were me, our army has a strong cavalry advantage, I would track and test more. Anyway, we have absolute initiative. As long as there is no major decision-making error, I have the final say on whether to fight or retreat."

After thinking for a while, Airen responded.

"Well, it's a classic cavalry tactical idea. Unfortunately, the time is too tight. We just defeated the first hell demon army, and the second one is coming soon. If we are given one or two more days, I will immediately set up a pocket formation and put this hell cavalry in it. Even if it costs a certain loss, we must kill them all!"

What Rhodes said at this moment was the classic tactics used by Li Mu to deal with the Hun cavalry on the border during the Warring States Period in the previous life. With the continuous improvement of intelligence attributes, all the memories of the previous life and this life have almost become a memory bank for Rhodes now. As long as he wants, the memory information can be retrieved, stored, and read at any time.

The hell demon general on the opposite side seems to have become a little too cautious because of the death (expulsion) of his colleagues.

Like Airen, it also chose the wolf pack tactics, wandering but not attacking, anyway, the initiative is in its hands.

Hopefully, this method can be used to exert tremendous pressure on the opponent, undermine morale, and cause them to collapse without a fight.

However, although Rhodes was anxious about the situation in the City of Sin and Fatis, he did not dare to act rashly in the face of nearly 200 Hell Cavalrymen. He could only stay in place to strengthen defense and restore his own combat power:

In the battle two days ago, 240 high-level Rhodok crossbowmen were killed, 6 were disabled, and 45 were injured. 40 Vigia cavalrymen were killed, 4 were disabled, and 22 were injured. 22 Styak Empire palace guards and female knights were killed, 4 were disabled, and 9 were injured. 40 War Lizard Heavy Cavalrymen were killed, 21 were disabled (13 dead and 8 disabled), and 18 were injured.

However, the focus of this lizardman army is the casualties of the war lizards. Although the forty war lizards have thick skin and strong flesh, after the charge in that battle, only twenty-two were left to continue fighting under the desperate counterattack of the hellhounds. The rest could either be killed or transported as logistical supplies, which numbered seven.

The hell demon army is very difficult to deal with. Even though Rhode's decapitation tactics were successful in the battle the day before, the war did not even reach the middle stage, but the main force (high-level Rhodok crossbowmen and Vigia cavalry) still lost more than ten people.

Fortunately, the injured are recovering quickly. The palace guards and knights who are also enjoying the treatment of holy healing and healing are extremely shocked by the recovery speed of the soldiers of Lonely Mountain Castle.

However, after Katis, Luna, and Barry secretly asked, the answer they got was:

"Because Lonely Mountain Castle is a city blessed by God, if you live there for a long time, you will have this ability to recover quickly!"

"Because we, the people of the wilderness, are all born as slaves, and our physical fitness has changed greatly under the influence of magic for a long time."

"Because the lord has a divine horn, which is placed in the cemetery in the center of our town. If you listen to it often, your body will get better and better."

"Lord Rodhart has the blessing of God, and we follow him to be protected by light."

These answers, even the warriors of Lonely Mountain Castle themselves don't know whether they are true or false.

Or maybe it was the truth they thought, but it was this sincere answer that made people confused and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

Katis personally preferred the news about the artifact horn, because only this one was relatively consistent with her cognition.

The human army took action, and the following hell army also took action. The hell general always thought that he had the advantage and initiative, he just didn't want to lose too much, but as time went on, the situation changed.

Suddenly one day, several huge birds of prey landed with human knights.
