The castle of the dead in the distance was quiet again, and there were no possible enemies in sight except for the undead skeletons that were still on guard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the ruined city, there are a lot of skeletons still wandering, but they have not regrouped, and they are attacking this side of the hill, as if they are scared, but Levi and they also understand that this group of skeletons has not received some unknown order, otherwise they would have come to this side purposefully with hatred for the living.

The position on the hill had been abandoned, and groups of soldiers were forming a marching formation and leaving in the direction they came, and the five provincial cavalry were still on guard on the periphery.

Because in the formation of this march, the twenty 24-pounder light cannons were quite cumbersome, and even if there were Barbary pirates carrying ropes and helping to drag them in front as a slender man, each step forward required a lot of physical strength, and also slowed down the overall marching speed.

The disadvantages of artillery are here, especially the large-caliber heavy artillery, although the power is huge, but the mobility is extremely small, but the current Levi, Green, Wilmot, do not care about these.

"It was a surprise to me."

Slowly riding his horse forward, Levi's face was a little solemn, and the information he got from his previous exploration of the castle of the dead still surprised him, and he had some strange feelings in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Green and Wilmot next to him, he also exhaled slowly, shook his head helplessly at them, and said: "I really didn't expect that these evil undead would even have heavy cavalry, if they weren't a group of skeletons, I really doubt that this is a medieval lord's castle." ”

"Indeed, even the heavy cavalry has it."

Wilmot couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly, although he didn't get close to those death knights, but with just a vague glance, he could see that this group of heavily armed heavy cavalry was definitely not an easy trouble to solve.

In their war with Grey Mist City, the strongest camp they have been in contact with so far does not have heavy cavalry dressed like that, at most it is a group of noble knights in heavy armor, forming a traditional formation, although they have not fought each other, they also know how to deal with it, modern muskets and artillery, for these traditional cavalry is handy.

"There are at least more than five hundred heavy cavalry, and I don't know if there are any more in the castle."

As the chief minister, Green sat at the top of the hill, looked at the bronze gate in the distance with a telescope, and also found the anomaly hidden in the darkness, and couldn't help but say: "According to my guess, maybe there are more undead cavalry in the castle, and what we see is only a part of it." ”

Nodding, Levi's face was also a little helpless, he reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and asked the two of them: "So, is there any good solution?" ”

Green and Wilmot couldn't help but be silent, the solemnity on their faces had already appeared with the frowning eyebrows, and after a moment of slow contemplation, the two of them also glanced at each other, and they both found the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Of course there is a way."

Wilmot is still professional in land warfare, after all, he is the Minister of War, and he also coughed lightly, looked at Levi and said, "At least there is no artillery on the other side." ”

"It's really not easy for artillery to deal with a group of prepared cavalry."

Shaking his head, Levi directly rejected the proposal, looking at Wilmot's face with a little helplessness, he turned his head and glanced at the 24-pounder light cannon that was slowly pushing and couldn't walk a few meters for a minute, and said: "Our current artillery is not a 3-pounder cavalry gun." ”

However, his eyes looked at the 7-pounder guns next to him, and the improvised artillery carriage made of wood made these light guns basically as fast as the infantry.

Levi's face was also a little pensive, but he still frowned and asked, "However, we don't have a better way than artillery?" For example, the hollow phalanx, which specializes in restraining cavalry, can't withstand the impact of those undead cavalry? ”

"Artillery, although it has limitations, is also the best way to deal with cavalry at the moment."

Green pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Even if our town militia forms a hollow phalanx, that group of undead cavalry will be able to rush away, after all, they don't have the so-called morale, and they won't be afraid of casualties at all." ”

After a slight pause, Green looked at the ruins of the temple that were about to appear in front of him, which was also their portal to another world, and suggested to Levi: "If we can, we had better recruit a group of spearmen to resist the cavalry charge, these infantry armed with three-meter long spears are more professional than our militia." ”

"Spearmen?"

Levi's tone was also a little puzzled, frowning slightly, of course he understood that these infantry armed with three-meter spears were enough to form a sharp wall of spears to block any enemy who dared to move forward.

But the spear wall composed of these spearmen, against ordinary white bone skeletons and bronze-level skeleton warriors, already has a lot of decay, and it can't stop the impact of the skeleton tide that doesn't care about casualties, let alone the undead knights who are now riding skeleton horses and holding spears?

"We can only do this, because we don't have stronger classes to work with."

In the end, Green sighed slightly and admonished Levi: "Your Majesty, this group of evil creatures between life and death cannot be fathomed by conventional enemies. ”

Levi also nodded silently, at least normal people, just like those elite regular soldiers in Gray Mist City, they would not care about blocking the enemy's muzzle and spear tip with their own bodies, and they rushed forward without hesitation, even if the whole army was annihilated!

After all, these creatures have all died once, and they really still exist in these rotten bones, and they don't know what the things that control the remains of the dead are, so it is really a good idea to start a war rashly.

Ordinary skeleton soldiers and bronze skeleton warriors, Levi with his modernized troops, it is extremely simple to win more with less, but the castle of the dead is definitely not like this, especially the appearance of cavalry that can be used as a tactical offensive ability, which completely dispelled Levi's plan to attack the castle directly.

After all, with the troops he brought, although he could blast through the walls of the castle of the undead, it would be a little dangerous to face that group of bronze-level skeleton undead next.

Ordinary bronze skeletons are hardened enough all over their bodies, and even at a distance of 100 meters, the lead bullets of the flintlock pistol cannot cause an effective effect, even if they hit the bone, it is like hitting a high-density bronze.

For this kind of bronze-level skeleton warrior, after Levi and his troops have summed it up, the best way is to bombard it from a distance with artillery, borrowing this kind of artillery bombardment to cover the powerful force of the pour, to avoid a series of problems that may arise in close combat, and also to avoid casualties among Spanish soldiers.
