Chapter 47 The Tactics of the Lake Rat Gang
At the entrance of the stairs, the new member of the Lake Rat Gang, who is wearing multiple layers of leather clothing and has relatively flexible and fast movements, is observing carefully.
They are also sentinels.
When he heard the noisy footsteps and the excited shouts coming from the corridor, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and ran towards the castle.
Right over there, more members of the Lake Rat Gang are gathering there, almost filling the 10-meter-wide central corridor.
After all, these are 10 senior members of the Lake Rat Gang and 25 newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang.
When these members of the Lake Rat Gang saw the newcomer running back quickly, their faces became solemn. They originally looked a little carefree, but because of the moving shoulders and arms, And become formal.
Because they all know what it means for this newcomer from the Lake Rat Gang to come back with a sullen face.
What's more, when he came to his side, he shouted to the back:
"Please report to Master Shen Mu! You have discovered the incoming enemy! Please prepare for battle!"
"Understood!"
A dull voice responded from behind the Lake Rat Gang members.
That's a Swadian infantryman.
When I heard this, I immediately pushed away my comrades in the Swadia infantry squatting on the ground and resting with their spears pointed out, and walked quickly into the castle.
The wooden door of the castle, which was several centimeters thick, opened with a gap half a meter wide.
The infantryman walked quickly inside.
10 Swadian heavy cavalry who were already on war horses, equipped with horse and man uniforms, all equipped with chain armor, were holding up cavalry spears nearly 4 meters long in their hands, looking at him coldly, Shaking the reins, he comforted the military horse, which sensed the approaching war and began to stretch out its hooves to pull at the ground beneath its feet, looking eager to try.
But the infantryman didn't care. Instead, he passed over these heavy cavalry who were also fourth-order soldiers and continued walking.
By the way, I glanced at the Swadian recruits holding scythes.
Looking at the excited look who was also eager to try without any fear, he nodded slightly.
Such is the tenacity of the Swadian people!
Then through the spiral staircase of the tower, we came to the balcony on the second floor of the castle.
Surrounded by a group of mercenary crossbowmen and mercenary sentries, Master Shen Mu's back, wearing bright silver chain armor and shining brightly in the dim corridor, appeared in front of him.
So the Swadian infantryman immediately reported: "Master Shen Mu, the enemy has arrived in the corridor!"
"Yes, I understand."
Shen Mu was standing in the crenel 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, then turned back with his spear in hand.
In fact, when the new member of the Lake Rat Gang 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 bottom, and the voice of the new member of the Lake Rat Gang can be heard.
But these are the rules of the battlefield.
Reporting is required.
After all, don’t look at the geographical advantage that you have now by placing the castle in an apartment.
If next, Shen Mu unfolds 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 as the area becomes larger, real-time reports on the battlefield will be more important.
Now, you must develop this good habit.
And next to Shen Mu.
The ballista from the roof of the main building of the stronghold has been moved down by hired sentries.
It is installed in the center of the balcony.
"Wind up!"
As a hired crossbowman as the commander spoke, the three hired sentries responsible for operating the crossbow immediately began to busy turning the winch.
There was a crunching sound of winding, and then a 1-meter-long shooting spear was stuck in the shooting slot.
The sharp iron spear tip was pointed in the direction of the corridor.
Including is all around.
The 10 mercenary crossbowmen and 20 mercenary sentries on these towers and balconies all pulled the crossbow strings and put the crossbow arrows in, preparing for battle in advance.
Because when they made this action, they had already heard it.
Just at the end of the corridor.
With a loud bang, the fire door was suddenly kicked open, and then enemies poured out of the stairs, howling, and appeared in front of them!
The enemy is coming!
“Kill!”
Following the arrogant and excited shouts, a pig-headed man wearing leather armor and holding a flail hammer appeared. He was fat and strong, and was about 1.7 meters tall. under the leadership of.
These incoming enemy troops did not even observe the site carefully and launched a general attack on the spot!
"Humph! Humph!"
Those pig-headed men even waved their flail hammers, looking at the humans in front of them, extremely excited!
In the eyes of these pig-headed people, the faint smell of these humans is obviously not the same as those of Blue Star. It can only be mixed with freshness, as if humans are eating wax, they have Essentially different!
Humans on Blue Star do not have the true taste of souls that belong to the rules of the spiritual world.
Even though it is fresh and tender, it is unappetizing.
However, the human race with souls, or rules, is different.
If you can kill humans, it will definitely taste delicious and smooth. Even if you chew it roughly, you will feel a sense of satisfaction from the heart.
It’s really delicious!
So, when these pig-headed men and even the other spiritual creatures crowding up from behind. When seeing these human races.
One by one.
I really can’t hold it anymore!
"Members of the Lake Rat Gang! Get ready! Throw spears!"
But as those members of the Lake Rat Gang who stand in the front row and are the first to launch the attack, facing these strange-looking , the alien creature with a pig's head on its head, its expression did not change at all.
Instead, under the command of the senior thug from the Lake Rat Gang who temporarily served as the captain, he completed the switch of secondary weapons.
That harpoon or dart.
At this time, he was holding it in the right hands of these Lake Rat Gang members, looking at the pig-headed man rushing over.
Then because of the distance, I walked slowly forward for more than ten meters.
The central corridor of the apartment is about 70 meters long.
The members of the Lake Rat Gang were deployed at a distance of 50 meters from the fire door.
The killing distance of these javelins in their hands is often about 20 meters.
So take two steps forward.
Watching the pig-headed men charging closer and closer.
The veteran thugs from the Lake Rat Gang in the first row were finally the first to reach the killing range of their own throwing.
‘Swish, swish, swish! '
With waves of heavy sound breaking through the air, these senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang used all the harpoons in their hands, skillfully and fiercely, and rushed towards the mess in front of them, without any formation at all. The pig-headed man was thrown out fiercely.
Then these senior thugs from the Lake Rat Gang didn't even look at the results of the battle, they turned around and ran quickly towards the back.
Because behind these senior thugs of the Lake Rat Gang, there are newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang who are also armed with fish darts.
At this time, it was already pushing forward.
He reached out and threw his fish dart!
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
The heavy sound of breaking through the air appeared again.
These newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang also didn’t look at the results of their throws.
Then he turned around and ran back.
just.
He arrived behind the senior thug from the Lake Rat Gang.
In front, a new round of newcomers from the Lake Rat Gang came to the front, looking at the dozen or so pig-headed men who had fallen, as well as more pig-headed men behind them.
He raised his dart again and threw it fiercely forward!
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
Heavy sounds of breaking through the air appeared one after another.
As a notorious group of robbers and bandits near the Great Lakes, members of the Lake Rats are very familiar with this tactic of throwing javelins back and forth.
You know, not every time they can bully those civilians or caravans.
If you encounter regular troops.
They are all regular bandit-suppressing troops with armor and shields.
Once a conflict occurs.
It is obviously unwise to rush forward and fight hand to hand.
Use the javelin to break the opponent's armor and shield, and use the retreat to lure the opponent deep into the ambush prepared by the Lake Rat Gang.
Then let the surrounding companions rush forward.
Destroy the enemy completely.
This tactic.
This is the specialty of the members of the Lake Rat Gang!
Otherwise in the chaotic world of horse-and-blade overlords, how could their Lake Rat Gang family become a small force, occupying the large lake area, and have such high united front value that even the Kingdom of Sturgia has to fight against them? Did they take a high look?
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
The heavy sound of breaking through the air appeared again.
Now, it's time for the veteran goons of the Lake Rats to throw the harpoon.
Looking at the fallen pig-headed men in front of me, the painful howls and angry howls began to surge in the corridor, as if they were deafening and about to tear the eardrums.
A strange smile appeared on the lips of these members of the Lake Rat Gang.
Then he turned around and ran back.
Because at this time.
The spear phalanx formed by the Swadian infantry, which had three gaps specially left for the Lake Rat Gang members, has begun to move forward.
Then after all the members of the Lake Rat Gang passed through the gap, they straightened up their spears.
Facing the extremely large number of pig-headed men.
I greeted him head-on!
‘Huhuhu——’
Just at this moment, a breeze seemed to appear from the castle dome, blowing through the wheat fields, the main house of the stronghold, and the castle hall...
Then it blew through these Swadi The heads of the sub-infantrymen.
The breeze from Sunuo Plain is blowing!
