Chapter 47: The Lake Rat Gang's Tactics At the stairs, a new member of the Lake Rat Gang, wearing multiple layers of leather clothing and being relatively agile and quick in his movements, was observing carefully. They are also sentries. When he heard the noisy footsteps and excited shouts in the corridor, his face suddenly changed and he turned around and ran towards the castle. Just over there, more members of the Lake Rat Gang were gathering there, almost filling up the 10-meter-wide central corridor. After all, these are 10 senior members of the Lake Rat Gang and 25 new members of the Lake Rat Gang. When the Lake Rat Gang members saw the newcomer running back quickly, their faces became serious. Their originally nonchalant looks became formal as they moved their shoulders and arms. Because they all knew what it meant for this new member of the Lake Rat Gang to run back with a gloomy face. Moreover, when he came to me, he shouted to the back: "Please report to Lord Shen Mu! We have spotted the incoming enemy! Please prepare for battle!" "understand!"
A dull voice responded from behind the Lake Rat Gang members. That was a Swadian infantryman. Hearing this, he immediately pushed away the Swadian infantry comrades who were sitting on the ground with spears in hand and resting, and walked quickly into the castle. The castle's several centimeters thick wooden door now opened to reveal a half-meter wide gap. The infantryman walked quickly inside. Ten Swadian heavy cavalrymen, already mounted on war horses, all equipped with chain mail, were holding nearly 10-meter-long cavalry spears in their hands, looking at him coldly, shaking the reins, and soothing the horses under their crotch, which had begun to stretch out their hooves and scratch the ground under their feet, as they sensed the coming of war and looked eager to fight. But the infantryman didn't care. Instead, he walked past these heavy cavalrymen who were also fourth-level soldiers and continued walking. By the way, he glanced at the Swadian recruits holding scythes. Looking at the excited look who was also eager to try and had no fear at all, he nodded slightly. This is the tenacious spirit of the Swadians! Then we walked through the spiral staircase of the tower and arrived at the balcony on the second floor of the castle. Surrounded by a group of mercenary crossbowmen and mercenary sentinels, Lord Shen Mu, wearing bright silver chain mail, whose back seemed to be shining brightly in the dim corridor, appeared in front of them. So the Swadian infantryman immediately reported: "Lord Shen Mu, the enemy has arrived in the corridor!" "Well, I see." Shen Mu was standing on the parapet of the balcony at this time, looking towards the entrance at the end of the corridor, and gently raised his right arm, indicating that he had received the report. Then the Swadian infantryman saluted respectfully again, picked up his spear, and turned back. In fact, when the new Lake Rat Gang member came back. Shen Mu already knew that the enemy was coming. The second floor of the castle is only seven or eight meters away from the ground, and the voice of the new member of the Lake Rat Gang can be heard. But these are the rules on the battlefield.
Reporting is required. After all, don’t think that you have the geographical advantage because you have placed the castle in the apartment. If Shen Mu deploys the castle in the wild and spreads out a large number of buildings to form a real stronghold under the protection of the castle, then real-time reporting on the battlefield will become more important after the area becomes larger. Now, we must develop this good habit. And beside Shen Mu. The crossbow that was on the roof of the main house of the stronghold had been moved down by the hired sentries. It is installed in the center of the balcony. "Upper String!" As a mercenary crossbowman who served as the commander spoke, three mercenary sentries in charge of operating the crossbow immediately began to busy themselves with turning the capstan. There was a creaking sound of the bow being wound, and then a one-meter-long spear was stuck in the shooting slot. The sharp tip of the iron spear was pointed towards the corridor. Including right around. The 10 mercenary crossbowmen and 20 mercenary sentinels on the towers and balconies all pulled the crossbow strings and put the arrows in, preparing for battle in advance. Because when they made this move, they had already heard it. At the end of the corridor. With a loud bang, the fire door was suddenly kicked open, and then enemies poured out from the stairs one after another, howling and appearing in front of them! The enemy is coming! "kill!" Following the arrogant and excited shouts, they were led by a group of pig-headed men who were wearing leather armor, holding flails and hammers, and were fat and strong, about meters tall. These attacking enemy forces didn't even take a close look at the site and launched a general attack on the spot! "Huff! Huff! Huff!" Those pig-headed men were waving their flails and hammers, looking at the humans in front of them with great excitement! In the eyes of these pig-headed people, the subtle smell emanating from these humans is obviously fundamentally different from those bland humans on Blue Star who only provide a sense of novelty and are like those who eat wax! The humans on Blue Star do not have a true taste of the soul that belongs to the rules of the spiritual world. Even though it tastes fresh and tender, it is still unappetizing. However, humans who possess souls, or who have rules, are different. If you can kill the human race, then the food will definitely taste fresh and delicious, with a smooth texture. Even if you chew it roughly, you will feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of your heart. It’s really delicious! So, when these pig-headed people, and even the other spiritual creatures that crowded up behind them, saw these humans. One by one.
I really can’t control myself! "Lake Rat Gang members! Get ready! Throw the spears!" However, for the Lake Rat Gang members standing in the front row, who were about to launch the first attack, their expressions did not change at all when facing these strange-looking alien creatures with pig heads on their heads. Instead, under the order of the senior thug of the Lake Rat Gang who temporarily served as the captain, he completed the switch of the secondary weapon. Those harpoons or harpoons. At this time, it was held in the right hands of these Lake Rat Gang members, looking at the pig-headed man rushing over. Then, because the distance was far, he walked forward slowly for about ten meters. The central corridor of the apartment is about 70 meters long. The location where the Lake Rat Gang members were deployed was 50 meters away from the fire door. The throwing and killing distance of these javelins in their hands is often around 20 meters. So take two steps forward. Watching those pig-headed men charging closer and closer. The veteran fighter of the Lake Rat Gang in the first row finally got to the killing distance of his own throw. 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!' With bursts of heavy harpoons breaking through the air, these veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang threw all the harpoons in their hands skillfully, fiercely and powerfully at the messy, rushing pig-headed people in front of them, who had no formation at all. Then, these veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang turned around and ran quickly to the back without even looking at the results of the battle. Because behind these veteran Lake Rat Gang thugs are new Lake Rat Gang members who are also holding harpoons. At this time, it has already pushed forward. He reached out again and threw out his harpoon! 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!' The heavy sound of breaking through the air appeared again. These Lake Rat Gang newcomers also did not look at the results of their throws. Then he turned around and ran back. just. He came behind the senior thug of the Lake Rat Gang. In front, a new round of Lake Rat Gang rookies came to the front, looking at the dozen or so pig-headed men that had fallen, and the even larger number of pig-headed men behind them. He raised his harpoon again and threw it forward hard! 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!' Heavy sounds of breaking through the air appeared one after another. As a notorious group of robbers and bandits around the great lakes, the Lake Rats were well acquainted with the tactic of throwing the javelin back and forth. You know, they can't always bully civilians or caravans.
If you encounter regular troops. They are all regular troops equipped with armor and shields to suppress bandits. Once a conflict occurs. It is obviously unwise to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat. Use javelins to break the enemy's armor and shields, and retreat to lure the enemy into the ambush that their Lake Rat Gang had set up in advance. Then let the companions around rush forward. Completely eliminate the enemy. This tactic. It was the specialty of the Lake Rat Gang members! Otherwise, in the chaotic world of Mount and Blade, how could the Lake Rat Gang become a small force, occupy the large lake area, and have such high united front value that even the Kingdom of Sturgia has to look up to them? 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!' The heavy sound of breaking through the air appeared again. Now, it's time for the Lake Rat Gang's veteran thugs to throw the harpoons. Looking at the pig-headed men falling one after another in front of him, the howls of pain and anger that began to echo in the corridor were so deafening that they seemed to tear his eardrums. These members of the Lake Rat Gang showed a strange smile on their faces. Then he turned around and ran back. Because at this time. The spear phalanx composed of Swadian infantrymen, who had left three gaps for the Lake Rat Gang members, had begun to move forward. Then, after all the members of the Lake Rat Gang had passed through the gap, they raised their spears. Facing the huge number of pig-headed men. Just meet it head-on! ‘Huhuhu——’ Just at this moment, a breeze that seemed to come from the dome of the castle blew across the wheat field, across the main house of the stronghold, and across the castle hall... Then it swept over the heads of the Swadian infantrymen. The breeze from the Suno Plain is blowing! (End of this chapter)
