Chapter 156: Wargame Deduction (Part II)
The Black Knight Commander Gao Frei is haunted by the major strategic attack and defense maps, and every time he appears, he will be more powerful than the last time, and he belongs to the small strong category.
The battle of Canyon Village should be the first appearance of the Black Knight Commander Gao Frey, with a maximum level of 28, which is the same level as the commander of the rebel formation, Gao Rendi, and is still an opponent who can fight.
It's just that Lin Ling doesn't plan to start a war with the Black Knight Commander Gao Frey for the time being, he needs the Gao Frey Escort to be stationed at Gao Frey's Manor to stop the endless stream of rebel riders.
The rebel formation remained on the edge of the Manor as a reserve, ready to join the battle.
Lin Ling controlled the two Orion teams and continued to shoot at the rebel flanks who entered the Canyon Village, weakening their strength.
Without the Wooden Fence's attack defense bonus, the attack power of the normal Orions was significantly weaker than in the previous round, but fortunately, the Orions of the Brewmaster Sarah's team landed a series of critical blows, reducing their number from "many" (20-49) in the previous round to "a group" (10-19).
When the Orion had finished shooting, one group made a detour to the west side of the canyon village, hiding behind the wheat field puppets where Farmer Toba was, while the other team detoured to the east side, staying at the edge of the Thumb Mill and arming the farmers.
The battered rebel flankers captured a house.
The three groups of rebel flankers who came to reinforce continued to move forward, because a group of rebel riders went to report the news, and a group of rebel soldiers were also assigned to garrison the stronghold, and the number of rebel flankers who came to reinforce was also only "a group", but their strength was remarked as level 25, which was obviously a lot of elites.
Correspondingly, the strength remark level of the rebel soldiers remaining in the stronghold has been reduced from 22 to 19.
The other two full-fledged rebel flankers are still holding their strongholds, just like the "Dogs of War" hired swordsmen.
It was Lin Ling's turn to take action, and it was Lin Ling's turn to have the strongest combat effectiveness at hand.
After absorbing the armed peasants and crop golems in the Ash Manor, Smuggler's Camp, and Thumb Mill, the strength of the three teams separated from the Farmer Toba and the Crop Golem has been increased from level 20 (massive) to level 22 (large number), with at least 500 crop golems in each team.
As agricultural golems, wheat golems are not as strong as they seem, and they have a high failure rate. The reason why Lin Ling put the farmers and the wheat puppets together was that he liked that those farmers had the ability to repair the wheat puppets and reduce the loss of troops.
These three teams, but the team that he decides the victory.
Lin Ling transferred the team of Nongfu Toba, whose mobility had increased to 3, to the stronghold where only the rebel soldiers were left to garrison, and the other two teams advanced to the canyon village square, one team with more wheat field puppets served as meat shields and walked in front, and the other team with many long-range weapons and an attack range of 2 detoured back to the village entrance, ready to encircle the point and send reinforcements at any time.
After exhausting the mobile power, the battle proceeded to the third round.
The main forces of the rebels still carried out their wriggling towards the flash port.
A small group of rebel riders crashed into the Gofrey Manor and were wiped out by the Gofrey Guard, and the dead rebel riders were resurrected into Skeleton Riders by mysterious forces and joined the Gofrey Guard.
Immediately afterward, another group of rebel riders entered the Manor of Godfrey and was rightfully annihilated. This time, however, Black Knight Commander Gaufrey was unable to use his mysterious powers to revive the rebel riders into skeleton riders, and his team suffered some losses for the first time.
The third, fourth, and fifth rebel cavalry teams attacked the Manor in quick succession, each of which inflicted some seemingly insignificant but cumulative losses on the Gorfrey Guard.
These five rebel riders are all split from the rebel flanks, and their combat effectiveness is weaker than that of regular rebel riders.
Lin Ling glanced at the bottom of the map, and it would take about 2 rounds for the two regular rebel rider teams to reach the High Frey Manor. He noticed that the other two rebel flanks, who had remained motionless, had also sent rebel riders, and knew that reinforcements from the Schwanstein Castle rebels would arrive soon.
This is not surprising, the Stewanstein Castle rebels have a large number of troops along the line from Canyon Village to the abandoned mine camp, Rhine City, Golden Valley and Red Valley Abbey, and they will of course recycle their forces when the main force is transferred.
Lin Ling once heard from NPCs about the troop deployment of the Wolves Castle rebels when he was carrying out a first-order compulsory mission. He calculated that there would probably be 3-4 rebel phalanxes from Canyon Village to join the main rebel force, and the rest would take the waterway through the tributaries of the Shenshui River to join the main rebel force at the flash port.
In this way, there is still a certain need for the existence of the High Frey Manor.
Lin Ling pressed the idea of taking down the Golfrey Manor in the next round, and he manipulated the relatively weak Orion team to use rockets to shoot at the houses occupied by the rebel flankers, setting them on fire.
Wooden houses can easily catch fire, and the wind fuels the fire, enveloping a small half of the canyon village in a sea of fire in a moment.
The rebel flankers who entered the house were burned and disappeared from the map.
Lin Ling transferred the group of Orions where the winemaker Sara belonged to to the rear of the sea of fire, and shot at the elite flanker of another rebel army that stayed on the other side of the sea of fire.
The morale of the team with the name and surname of the NPC is higher than that of the average team, and the team with high morale has a slightly better hit rate and lethality than the average team.
The lightly armed elite rebel flankers, who did not carry shields, were immediately reduced by more than half of their men when they were struck by a round of arrows, and their numbers were reduced from "a group" (10-19) to "some" (5-9).
After the Orion operation, it was the turn of the rebel flanker elite to operate.
The battered elite of the rebel flanker tried to pass through the flames, but they were killed in the flames, and they died without explanation.
The other two elite rebel flankers sidestepped around, one heading towards the Mill of the Thumb, the other seemingly interested in the smuggler's camp.
After the rebel flanker elite operation is over, it is the turn of the "Dogs of War" to mercenary swordsmen.
These powerful infantrymen split into two teams and left the level and disappeared into the map, apparently out of the battle.
In the next round, two rebel phalanxes with a force of level 25 (large group) entered the level, leaving a large number of infantry, and sent rebel riders to fight the two fully formed rebel riders.
Merging the troops would consume all the movement power, that is to say, the actions of the rebel phalanx would be equivalent to winning Lin Ling another round. He mobilized Nongtoba's team to continue to the nearest rebel stronghold, while the other two teams, mainly wheat field golems, charged the elite rebel flankers who were trying to capture their stronghold.
The Wheat Golem's charge is similar to the cavalry's charge, and both crush the infantry, and can only be stopped by teams equipped with long weapons, heavy weapons, and mages.
The elite rebel flankers are lightly armored dual-wielding infantry, dealing 200% damage to units like the Farmer and Orion, and only about half the damage to units like the Crop Golem.
The two teams charged in one round and achieved different results.
The team with more crop puppets wiped out the elite morale of the rebel flanker they faced at the cost of scrapping 27 crop puppets, driving them into the fire around them, and basically won.
The team, which was made up of farmers and armed peasants, was counterattacked by the elite rebel flankers, losing more than 40 units before they could take out one elite rebel flanker.
Lin Ling shook his head, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two teams was too great, and it was afraid that he would have to pay a lot of price for biting the elite of the rebel flanks.
Fortunately, as long as the stronghold is captured, the lost troops can be replenished, and God knows how many wheat field puppets and how many people were enslaved by the Swan Castle rebels in the stronghold. He put an end to the movement of the entire army and pushed the battle to the fourth round.
At the beginning of the fourth round, the main advance of the rebels ran into trouble, and they met the King of the Mountains, a tribe of earth elements, and were forced to spend a turn fighting to clear the annoying earth elementals.
This is also Lin Ling's trouble, the more rounds the main force of the rebels stays in place, the more rounds he needs to support.
The rebel riders who had been detached from the rebel phalanx joined up with most of the two rebel riders and stayed where they were for a turn.
The rebel riders who had been dispatched from the flanks of the two rebel armies, who had remained motionless and had been holding their strongholds, made a different choice, and a higher-ranking raid on the Golfrey Manor had replenished their forces by sending fresh skeletal riders to the Black Knight Commander Gaufrey.
The other chose to march towards Canyon Village, seemingly trying to meet the battered elite of the rebel flankers.
Lin Ling immediately used Orion to shoot at the two elite rebel flankers who had been hit hard, killing them all. He mobilized the rebel army formation that had rested in place for two rounds, entered the canyon village to seize the main road, and assumed a phalanx posture to prepare to fight the rebel riders.
In the next round, two elite rebel flankers began to advance, and like the first three, they left half of the rebel soldiers in the stronghold to guard the stronghold.
After the rebel phalanx occupying the level advanced one block upward, a part of the hired riders separated and occupied the lower level.
The right to act returned to Lin Ling's hands. He easily attacked the next stronghold with Farmer Toba's team, leaving all the wheat field golems and dragging all the farmers and armed farmers in the stronghold out and forming them into Farmer Toba's team, leaving only a few lowest-ranking farmers and wheat field golems to defend the stronghold together.
On the other side, the team dominated by the wheat field puppets continued to launch a deadly charge against the newly raised elite rebel flankers, completely annihilating the elite of the rebel flankers at a cost of 15:1.
A total of 90 Wheat Golems were damaged, but Lin Ling's most valued Farmers and Armed Farmers were unscathed, and the team's overall mobility was increased by the massive loss of Wheat Golems1.
The group, which was dominated by armed peasants, was less lucky, and their charge was suddenly launched by a counter-charge by the elite of the rebel flankers, knocking out more than 100 units, including 7 farmers and 12 armed peasants. Fortunately, they managed to besiege the rebel flanker elite by virtue of their numerical superiority, unless these rebel flanker elites threw themselves into the fire, otherwise they could only choose to smash the remaining 152 units in the next round.
The fifth round begins.
The main force of the rebels once again advanced a block in the direction of the flash port.
The "big group" of rebel riders began to move towards the Manor of Godrey, and another rebel rider rushed into the rebel formation, falling under the spears and crossbows without killing a single unit.
The hired riders are the same as the swordsmen hired by the "dogs of war" before them, and they are stationed motionless at the level.
Lin Ling set his eyes on the elite of the besieged rebel flanks, thinking about whether to kill this team with two teams of Orion salvos, or pull them out and ambush them near the Gofrey Manor to support the Gofrey Guards?
