Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 59: Military Training

"Infantry line up in the front row to hold on and counterattack, archers line up on the high ground and wait for the enemy to enter the range, and cavalry stand by on the flanks."

"Infantry take up the battle, pay attention to the anti-gargoyle charge. Archers start shooting to support and cover, cavalry follow me, attack the enemy from the flank and disrupt their formation!"

The silent hills once again felt the attraction of the breath of the living.

Those bronze and iron statues and gargoyles buried under the earth, stone and mud for tens of millions of years, they once again opened their closed eyes.

The khaki bronze and iron statues covered with ancient armor and holding two knives, charged forward with a rumble, and there was no emotion in their eyes, only a mechanical killing mind.

However, the gargoyles that arrived before them were faster and had the ability to fly. These guys who looked like a combination of demons and bats collided with a bang, but it was difficult to achieve good results.

Because the third-level soldier, the senior spearman of the Charr, who was at the front of the formation, had activated the soldier skill of holding on, which reduced the mobility for a certain period of time and improved the defense.

These gargoyles look scary, but due to the upper limit of the magic concentration in this world, they cannot fully exert all their strength. Therefore, as long as the opponent can overcome the fear in his heart, they are not particularly difficult opponents.

The gargoyle's attack failed, almost at the same time.

The ten archers occupying a relatively high position: the Charr Wild Hunters, began shooting. Today, with the double superposition of consecutive victories and Rhodes' coaching skills, the remaining ten Charr archers have almost been promoted to third-level soldiers.

Each of them has the strength of an archery instructor in an ordinary legion outside.

Therefore, although these stone statues in Silent Hills are more restrained by arrow shooting, these gargoyles are still very valuable in attacking in the case of "close-range, vital shooting".

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Accompanied by a burst of air-breaking sounds, the head, face, wings and other vital parts of the gargoyles in the air were hit by sharp arrows. Some fell directly, and the rest were also damaged to varying degrees.

At this time, the Haidam Infantry led the Haidam Light Infantry Unit, took the initiative to jump out of the shield wall in front of them, and roared and slashed the enemy with the short sword in his hand. It was an infantry counterattack. Not to mention that the gargoyles that fell to the ground had no chance to fly again, even those who insisted on staying in the air were chopped down by the Haidam Infantry who jumped up violently.

Boom, boom, boom.

It would certainly seem very slow to describe it with words.

But in fact, this series of military formations coordinated operations, as if they were a high-speed running machine, each gear was tightly engaged with each other, tightly and seamlessly, with extremely fast speed and high efficiency.

At this time, the copper and iron statues with two swords following the gargoyles had not yet rushed to the close formation.

Because of the different starting speeds and positions, the formation seemed a little scattered. At this time, they heard a violent sound that was heavier than their own footsteps, dull and thunderous.

This was the sound of heavy cavalry trampling the ground.

If it were a human army with a little experience, the first reaction to hearing such a sound would be to turn pale with fear, and then the second reaction would be to flee, to scatter and escape.

However, the bronze and iron statues did not have the sharpness of humans. When the young knight led the army to kill them, the bronze and iron statues only turned their heads and looked at the heavy cavalry charging up without any emotion.

Boom, the next moment there was a fierce collision.

Rhodes held the reins in his left hand and the sword of strength in his right hand, riding in the lead.

Before the two sides engaged, he placed the sword in front of his forehead, as if he closed his eyes and prayed. A warm and bright force, with his body as the center, spread, diffused, protected, and strengthened the slave traders around him.

Although the divine blessing ceremony was not performed on these warriors who were not yet trusted, it was no secret that they cultivated the power of sacred fighting spirit, and their own sacred fighting spirit also had the effect of system skills. It was just that these slave traders had not yet been recognized by the system, so the skill effectiveness was not that high.

Clang.

The long sword slashed the head of the bronze and iron statue, splitting it directly, exploding violent sparks, and a strong burning iron smell.

The slave hunters around Rhodes often did not use sharp weapons because of their profession. They often used military hammers and two-handed wooden hammers. This way, they could attack freely when capturing foreigners without worrying about killing slaves and reducing their income.

At this moment, these heavy blunt weapons were perfect for violently attacking the bronze and iron statue.

Even in terms of feel, it was better than the sword of power wrapped by Rhodes with holy light.

"Charge, charge, let's charge out, don't get entangled with them!"

Rhodes knew the essence of using cavalry in combat. It was never to get too entangled with the opponent, but to completely disrupt and disperse the enemy's formation and hit the enemy's morale through repeated assaults.

Of course, these opponents now have no morale, and even don't care about the formation, but letting the cavalry maintain speed and maximum impact is still an effective way to ensure the attack power of the cavalry.

Rhode took the lead and led the cavalry to charge repeatedly, delaying the support of the bronze and iron statues for the gargoyle troops. When the cavalry repeatedly charged four times and was out of breath, Rhode's infantry and archer phalanx had completely wiped out the gargoyle army and came to support.

"Originally, the total force of both sides was almost the same, with a total of 100 units. However, if a cavalry unit of 20 people is used properly, it can delay the enemy's main force and fight with more people against fewer people on the local battlefield!" Kress did not participate in this battle, but stood on a high place and looked down.

Rhodes asked her to record the battle in front of her. Although the bloodthirsty little girl did not like such a civilian job, she could not refuse because it was her master's request, so she could only record it with grievance.

However, with talent and seeing more, Kress will naturally understand and comprehend more, and even gradually develop some interest in military tactics.

Elder Eng, the grandfather of Raymond and Kress, is literate. He taught Raymond and Kress, but Kress herself was unwilling to learn. Elder Eng felt that it seemed useless for a girl to learn literacy, so he did not force her.

But in Rhodes' opinion, the direction of education was wrong. If he taught this little killer the history of military strategy from literacy, she would probably be interested and willing to learn.
