Mount & Blade: Wind of War

After several rounds of blocking, ambushes, and battles, and after suffering certain battle losses, most of the Gushan Castle troops successfully retreated to a cave on the top of the hill.

It's damp, dark, bat-infested and waterlogged, but it's extremely conducive to defence.

So far, only one large entrance has been found. When a large number of Rhodok crossbowmen are defending here, no heavy armored infantry holding shields can rush in, because the power of dozens or hundreds of heavy crossbows can break down any shield and armor. .

After thinking about it, Grievous decided not to attack for the time being, because the intelligence from Lonely Mountain Castle finally arrived. The spies and scouts speculated and confirmed that the elite defenders in the town took advantage of the night to leave the city in simple clothes.

This means that the supplies they carry with them must not be too much.

If he could just surround this army like this, then Grievous felt that he could accept it even if the price he paid was a bit heavier.

After all, after destroying this team, the entire human town of Lonely Mountain Castle will no longer have the power to stop itself.

What's more, no matter how high the morale of an army is, if they stay in a dark cave where they can't see their fingers for a long time, their morale will drop uncontrollably. In that environment, even heavy crossbows will be damaged quickly, and the crossbow strings will gradually lose their elasticity. , lose functionality.

"It's a pity that I don't have a shaman group at hand. Otherwise, if an earthquake spell is used in this situation, the entire human army can be annihilated here without killing a single orc warrior."

While the nobleman from the north, Grievous, a young fox tribe man, was suffering from the lack of troops in his hands, an infantry team with almost all black armor left the Nameless Mountain at a speed unimaginable for ordinary infantry. Headed north.

Grievous did not expect that despite being extremely numerically disadvantaged, the human army in front of him was still divided, and the black-armored swordsman troops arrived at the rear of the alien coalition at high speed with a morale and physical strength that he could not believe. s position.

Since Rhodes took away most of the elite Sons of the Forest from Redwood Town and supplemented them with telescopes, after the surprise attack, relying on high-speed movement, the Dark Swordsman troops passed by other numerous alien coalition forces without making a sound.

This was the strategy that Rhodes and Fatis had already decided before the war started. After the surprise attack, Fatis, as the general, commanded most of the soldiers and defended the nameless hill. It was because there was a medium-sized cave in the nameless hill. Germany and Fatis chose to set up an ambush here.

But even if there are defensive strongholds, it is still too difficult to defend and defeat the opponent with two hundred against two thousand.

What's more, this is not a lonely mountain castle. Rhodes' army does not have the advantage of logistical support. In order to move quickly and concealed, each soldier did not carry much food supplies. If they could not last for a week, they would run out of ammunition and food. , at that time, no matter how much morale you have, it is useless. If you don’t eat, even the thoughts in your mind will stop.

"This is our weakness, but it is also the weakness of those alien coalition forces. Two hundred people and less than three hundred people have already consumed a lot of supplies. What about the bears, centaurs, and jackals who are more edible? What if they are cut off? What will happen to material supplies?”

In the night, Rhodes was riding a horse, followed by the little girl Kress. Rhodes was explaining his ideas and tactics to Kress in detail.

"But we know that this is the weakness of those foreign coalition forces, and they must also know it themselves? Our entire army has less than fifty people. Can we really rush into a material heavy area that must be protected by heavy troops?"

After being taught by Rhodes, the little girl Kress has gradually developed her own tactical knowledge and thinking.

"Then we have to look at Fatis's performance. If the pressure he puts on our opponents is huge enough, then it will be difficult for our opponents to imagine that we can actually divide our troops with the existing strength. And sneak attacks on material-rich areas, surprise attacks and arson, This requires elite troops, not quantity. "

With that said, Rhodes explained to Kress the concept of special forces: strong physique, absolute loyalty, the ability to march at high speed under any circumstances with a heavy load, and still maintain considerable combat effectiveness.

The black-armored swordsman unit, with almost all members at level 4 and with actual combat strength at level 5 or higher, is gradually approaching this requirement, and they may go further in the future.

However, the development of the situation did not go as smoothly as planned.

Although every step of Rhodes' plan was reasonable and logical, two days had passed and the four Sons of the Forest, who had strong reconnaissance capabilities, could not find the logistics supplies station of the alien coalition.

"Could it be that you are using space storage equipment?"

"It's impossible. That kind of super-large space storage equipment is simply a national treasure. Even if it exists in this world, I'm afraid it can't be opened by ordinary magic power. With such a magic power reserve, go directly to Gushan Castle to put high-end Magic is enough, why do you still need to fight with me? At this time, there is probably no such person."

Although for a moment, Rhodes suspected that the alien coalition used powerful storage equipment, he soon dismissed this idea. At this stage, the existence of that kind of artifact is unreasonable.

The possible chance of this is really too small.

"Expand the search scope further and tell me all the clues. Everyone, please do your best. The fate of Gushan Castle is in your hands." In the forest, Rhodes said this to the four sons of the Sher Forest in front of him. .

"Sir, we will fight to the death."

The four sons of the forest, who were already very tired from continuous work, were inspired by Rhode's morale at this moment. They were so excited that they set out again without taking a rest, looking for all suspicious clues.

Normally, this is absolutely impossible. The three armies have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. How could a wild alien coalition of more than 2,000 people not have a supply route and a supply base?

These sons of the Shire Forest are not like Rhode, who has all kinds of knowledge. In their worldview, this is absolutely impossible, and there is no other possibility with a very low probability.

"If, we really can't find the supply base, then Fatis, Raymond, and Resarit will be dead. At this moment, the war has entered a very stalemate, right?"

Thinking of the serious consequences that this decision-making error may bring, Rhode frowned slightly. If things develop to that point, Rhode can only choose to retreat to the Lonely Mountain Castle with the Dark Swordsman troops.
