The rebel riders with a troop strength note of level 23 (large group) can be described as Lin Ling's henchmen.

The "large group" has 100-249 units, and the rebel riders are standard cavalry units with a range of 2 blocks and the ability to charge, which can be charged as many times as many times as movement points per round when morale is high.

The safest way to deal with cavalry troops is to use infantry phalanxes to squeeze the movement space of cavalry troops, and then use long-range firepower to shoot in turns, which is very troublesome to operate. The inferior way is to mobilize chargeable troops to hedge against cavalry and fight a war of attrition.

In addition, the only way to passively block the communication arteries in the strategic offensive and defensive map is to wait for reinforcements.

Lin Ling thought about it for a long time, but decided to give up the elite of the half-crippled rebel flankers. He pulled two teams of Orions to the rear of the Manor of Godfrey to wait in ambush.

Orions in the "Standby" state will increase their maximum Attack and Defense by 1 for each turn they are on standby, and the increase will disappear when they move.

After the Orion team finished moving, the elite rebel flanker who was surrounded attacked the armed peasants who surrounded them.

The 152 units, including 82 wheat field puppets, 30 farmers, and 40 armed peasants, were directly defeated by the almost half-crippled elite of the rebel flankers, and they retreated two squares, leaving a chance for the elite of the rebel flankers to take a breather.

Lin Ling looked at the last elite of the rebel flanker with an expressionless face, and it was natural that there would be some losses when it came to this point. He continued to order Nongtoba's team to advance to Stronghold 2, which was occupied by the rebel soldiers, and to move all the troops sealed in Stronghold 1 to Canyon Village.

Next, the two rebel phalanx slowly advanced, and their direction of action was not Canyon Village, but Gofrey Manor.

Is the foot riding coordinated?

Lin Ling thought of an ancient tactic commonly used by NPCs. Infantry coordination tactics refer to the tactics of advancing in infantry phalanxes and cavalry charging in a roundabout way, and is often used in strategic offensive and defensive maps with flat terrain.

The terrain of Canyon Village is definitely not suitable for the use of foot coordination.

However, Lin Ling didn't think he could take this lightly. Although due to the terrain, the coordination of infantry and cavalry is not to be feared, but once the two rebel phalanxes merge with the rebel cavalry, then he no longer wants to use the method of division and encirclement to rely on the advantage of local forces to eat this team.

It's a pity that he doesn't have cavalry on his hands, so he can only passively fight defensive battles.

Lin Ling used the wheat field puppet team stationed in Canyon Village to eat the remaining elite rebel flankers, and swept away all the elite rebel flanks. As he gathered the remnants, he was surprised to find that after non-stop fighting, half of the armed peasants in the ranks of the Wheat Fields Puppets had been upgraded to militia.

The militia of the village of the valley village, the strength of the note 23 (large number), the actual number of 678 people, 478 wheat field puppets, 72 militiamen, and 128 farmers.

The combat effectiveness of this team is almost equal to that of the rebel army.

Lin Ling was already having a headache about how to carry those two rebel phalanxes and more rebel phalanxes that might appear, and the appearance of the militia in the canyon village undoubtedly solved his urgent need. He finishes the movement of the whole team and pushes the situation of the wargame to the next round.

At the beginning of the new round, the main rebel force still moved a block away from the flash port without hurry.

The rebel riders still made their way to the Manor of Godrey, and the hired riders who remained in the checkpoint remained stationed.

Lin Ling did not move the Orion team, but still ordered them to stand by one block behind the left and right of the Gofrey Manor, he placed the rebel army array on the left flank of the Gofrey Manor, and then ordered Nongfu Toba's team to attack the second stronghold.

The rebel soldiers who held Stronghold 2 were also no match for Nongfu Toba, and after the end of the first battle, Nongtoba's team grew a lot like a snowball.

Lin Ling dispatched the wheat field puppet and the low-level farmer out of the team as usual, preparing to merge with the detachment of Stronghold 1.

Two rebel phalanxes formed the flanks of the rebel riders and moved forward.

New rebel phalanxes appeared on the east and west sides of the map, and behind one rebel phalanx was followed by a group of rebel crossbowmen with a strength of level 22 (a group), and the other team was lightly armed, and the entire team was composed of elite soldiers that Lin Ling had seen, and their mobility was not low.

There is something in the wind.

Lin Ling placed the militia in the Canyon Village in the Thumb Mill to rest.

He glanced at the map, and he saw that two of the five rebel strongholds had been captured by him, and that the nominal main force at hand, the rebel formation, was unscathed, and that the mixed Canyon Village militia needed a round of rest to restore morale because it had gathered the remnants of the other team.

Farmer Toba, who is a priest by profession, and the farmers and armed farmers are threatening Stronghold Three, and the low-level troops that split between Stronghold 1 and Stronghold 2 will merge in the next turn.

After the merging team, it only takes one round of marching to capture the stronghold with little defense, and get a certain amount of supplies.

It was a little difficult for this force to deal with the large rebel cavalry. Not to mention that next to the ranks of the rebel riders, there were two rebel phalanxes that should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, the Gofrey Manor was guarded by the Gofrey Guard, and when it was their turn to deal with the rebel riders, the team would be half-crippled.

Lin Ling rubbed his eyebrows, if he started gathering troops in the next round, then the rebel cavalry would most likely launch a charge against the forces he had gathered, and all the superior forces that he had managed to snowball out would be burned. If we continue to disperse our forces in this way, what if we are caught and broken one by one by the two rebel phalanxes that have just entered the field to reinforce them?

He took a closer look at the troop layout on the field, and suddenly found that if the wheel movement power, if the hired riders who were stationed in the stronghold status by default were not counted, the rebel riders were the units with the highest mobility power, followed by his two Orion teams, followed by the cannon fodder team separated from the stronghold by Nongtoba, followed by the four rebel formations and the rebel crossbowmen.

In other words, at least on the strategic offensive and defensive map, he has an advantage in terms of mobility that the rebels cannot match.

This discovery made Lin Ling smile with a little more confidence. He's got a way!

The situation moves on to the next round.

The first two rounds of the eighth round were no different from the previous ones, with the main rebel force continuing their movements, and the rebel riders deliberately suppressed their speed and marched towards the Manor of Godfrey.

After it was Lin Ling's turn to act, he captured Stronghold Three according to the plan.

After capturing Stronghold 3, Nong Toba was promoted to Priest of the Commandment, and the size of his team was also expanded to a certain extent.

The rebel formations and Orions continue to be on standby, recuperating and ready to change.

The direction of the main rebel force did not change, and it was still moving forward one by one, as did the two rebel phalanxes that supported the field, but the new rebel crossbowmen moved in the direction of Stronghold Five, as if they were going to merge with the rebel soldiers stationed at Stronghold Five.

Of course, Lin Ling would not allow this to happen, he changed his original plan, and on the one hand, he ordered the first unit of the stronghold carrying a large number of wheat field puppets to intercept the rebel crossbowmen, and on the other hand, he commanded the team of the second stronghold to surround the fourth stronghold, besiege but not attack, and trap those rebel soldiers first.

The rebel soldiers at Stronghold 4 tried to break through, but their combat effectiveness was only slightly overwhelmed by the integrated troops at Stronghold 2, and their morale was still in a low state.

The rebel soldiers at Stronghold 5 continued to wait for reinforcements, and did not see any intention of attacking Lin Ling's team of wheat field puppets.

In this round, Lin Ling seemed to have achieved some small victories, and his troops had also been expanded and strengthened to a certain extent. However, the strength of the rebel cavalry and the four rebel phalanx was well preserved, and the Hellenburg rebels still had the ability to penetrate the Gofrey Manor, enter the mountains behind the canyon village in one go, and join the main force of the rebels.

The eighth episode ended in such a depressing atmosphere.

In the ninth round, the main rebel force was in trouble again, a mountain ogre clan was in front of the main rebel army, and it took a lot of effort for them to clear the mountain ogre, and at the same time, they also spent all their movement power, and were forced to stay in place for a round, waiting for a new round to begin.

Lin Ling's heart sank, this was not a good sign.

Next, the rebel riders finally launched an attack on the Manor of Godrey, an attack by charging away!

The Guardian of the Black Knight even used his mysterious power to resurrect all the rebel riders he had killed as bone riders to add to the ranks, completing a glorious victory that could be described as a great victory.

However, the strength of the rebel riders did not decrease but increased, and the morale-boosting rebel riders launched three consecutive waves of charges against the High Frey Guard, almost completely annihilating the High Frey Guard, leaving only the Black Knight Commander High Frey and a few skeleton riders.

But the rebel riders drained their movement before the victory came.

Lin Ling decisively ordered two teams of Orions to shoot at the rebel riders.

The result of two rounds and four shots was nothing more than twenty rebel riders. In addition, the strength remarks of the rebel riders have once again increased to level 25.

Level 25 means that there are level 30 units among the rebel riders.

A level 30 combat unit will not have a problem sweeping 20 level 20 units in the strategic attack and defense map.

That's a huge gap!

Lin Ling gritted his teeth and ordered the rebel army formation to capture the High Frey Manor, the rebel army formation is pure infantry, and after occupying the stronghold, as long as it has a round of rest, it can be put into the defensive battle with 200% power.

Black Knight Commander Gaufrey was easily overturned by Commander Gorundy and disappeared into the map.

System Prompt: Your troop "Resistance Formation" has captured the Gofrey Manor, you have found a mysterious altar under the Gofrey Manor, opening the altar will bring unpredictable risks to your troops, do you want to open it?

Be!

Lin Ling chose to open the altar without hesitation, and the architectural appearance of the High Frey Manor changed in an instant, turning into a building that he was no longer familiar with—the Psychic Altar!
