Real Mount and Blade Game

The Green Leaf Group's troops on the top of the apartment building were still waiting quietly. They were ready for battle, and as they watched the advance troops of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty rushing towards Dehrim, their hearts became more and more fanatical.

They all knew that the next battle would be the most crucial one. If they could defeat Dehrim, then the entire Balihe Street would be their territory.

They will have a better future, they will gain better results, and they will become stronger and enjoy a better life in the future.

Everyone was waiting excitedly.

On the city wall of Dehrim, Shen Mu frowned and directed the Swadian militia on the wall and the mobilized holy tree rangers to continue shooting.

The crossbows and bows shot out with a clatter of arrows. In the past, they hit the soldiers of the Skeleton Army in the black fog. Later, many of the Skeleton Soldiers fell to the ground with the sound of their bones being broken.

Along with the frequent sounds of bones being broken by being stepped on, pieces of bone fragments appeared under the black fog.

Obviously, they were the skeleton soldiers who had been shot.

But Shen Mu's brows furrowed even more. He found that even if he asked his archers to shoot quickly outside, it would still be of no avail.

Because the number of archers he currently has is too small.

All together there are only 500 Swadian militiamen and 100 sacred tree rangers. Even if the prairie bandit elites and the princess's hands formed by the prairie bandits are added, the number of people is only about a thousand.

And you should know that except for the steppe bandit elites and steppe bandits who use high-quality nomadic bows and ordinary nomadic bows, the Swadian militia only use hunting crossbows, and the holy tree caretakers only use hunting bows, which are the lowest-level long-range weapons.

Even if it can be shot out, it is soft and does not have much power, and cannot cause much damage to the enemy.

In other words, the enemies he is facing now are just skeleton soldiers with extremely weak defense, so they can form some effective killing power in the dense rain of arrows.

Able to shoot some skeleton archers and turn them into broken bones, falling to the ground.

But for the real battle, it didn't have much effect at all. The skeleton army was still moving quickly towards Dehrim in the haze, advancing steadily, without any hesitation at all due to the harassment from the archers on the city wall.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After all, no matter how you look at it, the Undead are just puppets of negative energy. Deep in their souls, they only have the desire to attack and hatred for the living.

Things like morale and courage are completely unknown to these undead, and they don't have any morale or courage at all.

I don't know how to be afraid or worried.

To these low-level undead skeletons, they are just monsters being manipulated, nothing more than mindless skeleton puppets.

Therefore, the sparse rain of arrows released by the long-range archers on the city wall had little effect on these undead monsters. Even the dense long-range archer sequence was just normal for these undead monsters who had no mind and would not lose their minds. They would still rush up to attack violently.

This caused Shen Mu's face to change when he saw the current situation on the city wall. He really couldn't understand why there were so many undead monsters appearing in the darkness, and it seemed like they were endless.

Especially when Shen Mu saw that beyond the maximum distance of the Holy Light Torch Tower's holy light, countless hazes emerged from it and moved towards this side, his face became more and more ugly.

"Something's wrong. This is really a bit wrong. Why are there so many undead monsters attacking this side? Even if I offended these undead monsters in the subway tunnel before, they would not attack me so hysterically." Shen Mu frowned tightly at this time. He really couldn't think of why there were so many undead monsters attacking him outside, and they were surrounding him in the darkness from all directions.

Because there are really a lot of undead monsters around.

Not only was the east city gate where he was now in the direction of the west city gate, but there had also been reports of attacks by undead monsters outside the south city wall and in the direction of the city wall of the castle area on the north side.

This was simply a rhythm of siege on Dehrim from all directions, this was already a corps-level operation.

"Now, Fatis, you go to the west gate to command and prevent those damn skeleton soldiers from attacking our west gate." Shen Mu did not hesitate. He turned his head to look at Fatis and made arrangements.

"Understood, Lord Shen Mu, I'll go right away." Fatis nodded immediately, without hesitation, and immediately led the ten Holy Tree Knights who were responsible for protecting him and walked quickly towards the west gate of the city. He also took away about 20 Swadian Knights and 50 Swadian heavy cavalry.

At critical moments, these heavily armored Swadian heavy cavalry and knights can also go up to the city walls and serve as heavy infantry to resist enemy attacks.

These are all quite useful infantry.

After all, heavy cavalry can be used as heavy infantry after dismounting. At critical moments, these heavy infantry can also be used as shield walls and main forces to resist enemy attacks.

Even though the skeleton soldiers have not found any engineering equipment at present, it is still necessary to take precautions. Fatis never dares to take risks. He has always been a very careful and cautious person.

That's why Shen Mu asked him to command the west gate. "And Resarit, you will be in charge of commanding the east gate." At this time, Shen Mu looked at Resarit, the instructor of the evil camp and the all-round general, and said in a deep voice: "And the crossbows on the tower, the light crossbows, and the catapults are all under your command."

"I understand, Lord Shen Mu, I will not let you down." At this time, Resarit nodded and answered in a deep voice.

As an all-round instructor, he does know a little bit about everything and is quite skilled in everything. Although he is not as proficient as other generals, he is an all-rounder who can command the defense of the city and command the various defense weapons on the tower to launch external attacks.

He is good at all of them.

Shen Mu never thought he knew everything. All he had were some tactics and strategic skills he learned from games in his previous life. Maybe he was smarter in strategy because of playing games and having a modern mind, but he was not as skilled in tactical details as those experienced generals in the Mount and Blade world.

"Then Lord Shen Mu, Bestur can also serve you." At this time, Bestur, who was still beside Shen Mu, spoke anxiously, and patted his chest and said: "Whether it is fighting on horseback or fighting the enemy in close combat with a scimitar and a round shield, even using a bow and arrow to shoot at the enemy, I am good at it."

After all, Fatis and Resarit have been arranged out and entrusted with important positions, responsible for the security of the east and west gates.

Wouldn't it be awkward for Bestur to be here?
Although James and Manid were not assigned any important tasks in the castle area, this was a time of war. James was a doctor and wizard, and Manid was a businessman and manager. How could they be compared with Bestul, a serious warrior?

"Stay with me, I have important arrangements for you, Bestul." Shen Mu waved his hand to signal him not to be so nervous. After all, he did have important arrangements at this time.

And looking at the haze outside that was getting closer and closer, his brows knitted tightly, but an idea came to his mind, and he slowly said: "Best, look at those undead monsters in the haze outside, aren't they just some skeleton infantry units?"

"That's right, there are only some skeleton infantry outside, and they don't have any horses or motorized places." Bestur also turned his head to look outside, nodded to confirm Shen Mu's statement, because he had already scouted before, and said with certainty: "There are only some skeleton infantry and skeleton archers outside, and there are no undead monsters like skeleton cavalry."

He had encountered the Skeleton Cavalry, or Death Cavalry, before. After all, when he was on the edge, he even had a close fight with those Skeleton Cavalry and Death Cavalry.

It also gave him a considerable shock. After all, no matter how weak the cavalry units among those undead monsters were, they were just some skeletons. But as long as they were cavalry, they had enough mobility and impact force to pose a major threat to infantry or other units.

Therefore, Bestul was quite concerned about the Undead Cavalry, so he also focused on the reconnaissance during the investigation to ensure that the Undead monsters in the haze or those that entered Dehrim were just some Undead infantry units, mainly Undead Warriors and Undead Archers, and there were no Undead Cavalry.

"Yes, they are just some undead warriors, skeleton warriors, and infantry units." Shen Mu spoke slowly, not caring if there were any mistakes in the terms he said. After all, he could say anything he wanted.

What he is more concerned about now are these infantry units. They are launching a siege on his own Dehrim and a general attack right from the start. Is there any way to easily resolve this crisis?

Suddenly, some ideas came to my mind.

"Master Shen Mu, do you seem to have any plans?" After all, Bestur had mixed into the Kugit tennis. Although he was quite straightforward at ordinary times, he also understood the ways of the world and how to read people's expressions. At this time, he saw Shen Mu's thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Then should we take the initiative?"

"Wait a minute, let me see what's going on with those undead monsters." Shen Mu did not speak directly. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and made a pause gesture, signaling Bestul to calm down first.

Then Shen Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the haze outside that was getting closer and closer, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face: "Since those forest monsters have no means of attack, what can they do when facing the walls of Dehrim and the trenches outside the walls?"

You should know that the wall of Dehrim itself is 6 meters high, and just outside the wall there is a 5-meter-deep and -meter-wide moat filled with water.

The water in these trenches came from the springs in the castle area. A large amount of water flowed into the trenches in the castle area and the town area, and then flowed through the connecting gaps in the trenches into the trenches surrounding Dehrim to form a moat.

The moat also serves as the main source of water for irrigation of the vast farmland outside Dehrim. The water in the moat is continuously injected into the irrigation channels between the ridges as the water volume increases, forming an irrigation network.

Of course, the irrigation network is the main reason for nourishing agriculture and there is not much to worry about, but it is precisely because of the abundant water in the moat that a moat with excellent defensive effect can be formed.

That's why Shen Mu thought this way. Not to mention that these skeleton legions don't have any means of siege now, even if they have those siege weapons, what can they do?

The skeleton army must first fill up the moat before they can approach the city wall.

During this process, the defenders on the walls of Dehrim had already smashed the skeletons of the Skeleton Legion into pieces.

After all, the party occupying the defending side has the real advantage.

"In that case, aren't these skeleton troops seeking death by attacking Dehrim? They don't have any siege weapons, and there is no way to ensure the success of the siege. Why would these skeleton troupes attack my Dehrim?" Shen Mu began to doubt.

"Yes, why?" Bestur suddenly thought of this question at this time, and couldn't help frowning. After thinking about it carefully, he said with some doubt: "Is there any conspiracy, Lord Shen Mu?"

"Yeah, so I was also saying that there seems to be a problem." Shen Mu nodded, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "In my memory, it seems that I have heard others say that the skeleton army hidden in the underground tunnel seems to be conscious and has high-level commanders. It is not like those low-level undead monsters that descend in the dark and attack randomly in disorder." (End of this chapter)
