Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The earth suddenly shook, far away at first, but as time went by, it quickly approached.

The lizardmen wearing iron-studded armor, riding on the madly running war lizards, were so small that they were almost invisible, but their weakness itself did not affect the power of this heavy cavalry.

It was much easier for Janice to persuade these lizardmen than she and Rhode imagined.

Janice had originally prepared to be ripped off, but during the negotiation, the lizardmen only asked to reduce the slavery period to five years, and then there were no more requests:

For the same reason, these lizardmen felt that their days in Lonely Mountain Castle were better than outside.

A safe and stable environment, sufficient food, sound laws, and a relatively fair social environment. Lonely Mountain Castle had just been established, and even the management were slaves. Many exploitation skills and bad habits had not yet been developed. In addition, the lizardmen had the skills to raise war lizards, so no one bullied them.

Now the objective reality outside the Lonely Mountain Castle is that there is chaos, killing, death and destruction everywhere. The warrior lizards have also seen the sheep tribe of the pastoral plains they encountered before. Since the Lonely Mountain Castle has become the best destination for all races in the wilderness, it seems that fighting for this lord is not unacceptable.

Humans are not only easier to get along with than the hell demons and the undead, but also easier to get along with than the rulers of other races.

This is not Rhodes' personal charm, but the "people's heart" effect brought about by the clear politics and the people's determination at the beginning of the establishment of the Lonely Mountain Castle.

Many civilians don't care who is the lord above, as long as you can do your job well and lead everyone to a stable and prosperous life.

With a momentum that almost crushed the earth, forty warrior lizard heavy cavalrymen rushed into the core of the hell demon army.

The demon general has been pressing his hellhound troops in the center to avoid losses, trying to find the right opportunity to attack and bite off a piece of flesh and blood.

However, before he could wait for his opponent to show obvious flaws, his own legion was constantly restrained by Rhode's knights, exposing flaws.

The Little Demon Legion and the Horned Demon Legion left the left wing. When the heavy cavalry charged, it was too late for them to return to defend. Moreover, most demons did not want to return to defend. The might of the 40 units of the heavy cavalry of the War Lizardmen charging was simply terrifying!

These 40 War Lizardmen were originally War Lizard Cavalry. After being slaves in the Lonely Mountain Castle for a period of time, their food and equipment were better than before. After all, the Lonely Mountain Castle was engaged in the military industry. Even if their own slave warriors went out, the equipment they were allocated was better than that of the former barbarians.

When the earth shook, the demon general had already noticed something was wrong and tried to command the Hellhound Legion to evade. However, in this case, it was too late. The distance was too close and the response time was too short.

The Hellhound troops surrounded in the center of their own army were like tomatoes in a wooden barrel being hit by a hammer.

Hide?

Where can they hide?

These heavy war lizards are generally between two and a half and three blades, covered with thick scales as natural armor, and neatly serrated bone spurs on both sides of the tail end.

The streamlined body and slender and strong limbs are the guarantee of running ability, and their amazing weight is the premise of being irresistible.

Being able to control these war giant lizards is already very terrifying. The second-level sixth-level soldiers of the giant beast knight are evaluated by the system as having very terrifying combat explosive power!

But in fact, the Vijia Giant Knight is itself a second-level sixth-level soldier. From the giant beast knight (level six) to the elite giant beast knight (level seven) to the heavy armored dragon cavalry (level eight), the knight can better control these giant lizards with trace dragon blood. Levels six to seven are all in a domesticated state, and most of the human knights cannot focus on fighting.

And the war lizards rely on their own bloodline advantages and racial secrets. Although they are weak, they can cooperate closely with the war giant lizards.

Therefore, the combat power of the lizard cavalry in the charging state is not much different from that of the elite behemoth knights. The combat power that both sides rely on most is actually the war lizards, not themselves.

At this moment, the entire hell demon army seemed to explode from the middle and fell into a huge chaos.

However, the lizard cavalry only has the power of this attack, and the continuous killing ability is extremely low. Without sufficient height, arm length, weapons and equipment, the lizard warriors who only hold some secondary weapons of the main force can't hold out for long in the enemy's siege.

"Cavalry, follow me to charge!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, Rhodes led the Vijia cavalry behind him and rushed into the chaotic battle in front of him, just like a steel spear, fiercely stabbing the position of the demon general.

Most of the troops in this world will lose morale and fall into a state of collapse after the main general is killed. Maybe there are some who can gather again with discipline and centripetal force, but this definitely does not include the hell demon army, because the hell army is originally maintained by strength and fear.

The demon soldiers' fear of the general behind them far exceeds their fear of the enemy in front of them.

"So it was arranged like this, the infantry attacked first, the light cavalry constantly interfered with my judgment, and then the heavy cavalry charged to make me lose control of the army... Exquisite art of war, kid, I admire you very much, so, go to hell with me!"

Since Rhodes had been paying attention to this demon general when he was circling on the flank, it was not difficult to capture him/her in the chaos at the moment when the plan was revealed.

In this battle, Rhodes used the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry.

In the history of the previous life, after conquering the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry completely inherited the powerful smelting and armor-making technology of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is said that the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, but in fact, the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Mongolian cavalry that swept across the world for forty-four years, and then the Mongolian cavalry swept across Europe for a total of five years. On the one hand, this shows that the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty depends on who it is compared with, and on the other hand, it is also that after conquering the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolians copied a lot of scientific and technological skills, which greatly made up for the innate defects of the grassland barbarians.

Light cavalry harassing on both wings and heavy cavalry charging in the center, this was the classic tactic that the Mongols used to sweep across Europe. It was not due to their excellent cavalry and archery skills. As mentioned earlier, cavalry and archery are advanced combat skills that are basically impossible for the entire army to learn, even for the Mongolian cavalry, who are known as a nation on horseback.
