Su Mo did not take the initiative.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't, because players are not suitable for taking the initiative. At least before the appearance of mounted combat, rushing forward with two legs is simply seeking death.

The Count of Dema had six thousand cavalry.

These cavalry were originally just new recruits, but after several battles in the Battle of Viscount Berryman's Destruction, they had already begun to look good.

If Su Mo allowed the players to confront these cavalry, it is estimated that this battle would not have to be fought.

Don't think this is simple.

There were indeed senior officials from the Grand Guild who questioned Su Mo's command. They didn't know how to fight at all. Just being able to shout "Come on me" was already a sign of an excellent commander.

Be prepared to defend and attack!

Count Dema despises and hates adventurers, but he will not really look down on these two hundred thousand adventurers.

"Kill all these adventurers!" Four thousand cavalry roared out and headed straight towards the enemy camp. When they were about to enter the range of the archers, the cavalry turned their horses and the wave split into two, splitting into two groups in the player's camp.

Passing outside.

This is a kind of contempt and a kind of showing off.

In the age of cavalry, this was a method often used by superior cavalry parties to improve morale.

Will Su Mo let them get their wish?

Of course not, these cavalrymen were quickly taught how to behave, and sword lights suddenly appeared on the empty runway in front of them.

assassin!

Sneaking Assassin!

Su Mo arranged for thousands of assassins to ambush on the route that the cavalry must pass through, and they would suddenly attack when the cavalry came over.

Although some assassins were directly trampled to death by war horses, most assassins still made their strongest attacks.

Their target was not the cavalry.

The cavalry sit on war horses, high above the ground, and move at high speed. It is not easy to attack them.

Besides, these cavalry are basically quasi-BOSS templates. It takes a few minutes for a five-person team to fight, and no assassin, no matter how good he is, can kill them instantly.

They were attacking war horses.

The war horse was severely damaged and immediately became a rollover scene.

Once a war horse running at high speed overturns, not only will the horse be severely injured, but even the cavalry will lose most of its combat effectiveness.

“Oh, it’s hard not to be convinced.” There are always people who are not convinced, but it’s not okay to be unconvinced.

Before fighting, everyone thought they could do it.

Only when Su Mo achieves something they cannot achieve, will they say something sour.

Next time I will continue to be unconvinced, at least verbally.

The loss of the four thousand cavalry was not much. Most of them ran back. Su Mo did not pursue them. He did not want the two armies to fall into a big melee.

But the loss of war horses is too exaggerated.

At least 1,700 war horses fell in the open space between the two armies' camps, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Players suffered heavy casualties, and at least 3,000 players were trampled by horses or killed by cavalry counterattacks.

No one feels at a disadvantage.

"Left wing, teams one to forty, press forward!" Su Mo issued a new order.

"Teams one to seven will attack their baggage teams, teams eight to twenty will attack directly, teams 21 to thirty will attack as the second batch, and teams thirty to forty will be the third batch... Let's start now."

With a team of 1,000 people and seven teams fighting against the baggage train, it was obviously impossible to defeat them, but Count Demar had to send heavy troops to resist the players' harassment of them.

This is another aspect where NPCs and players are different.

Players don't need baggage. If they do have it, it would be medicines and raw materials needed to repair equipment. What is in the backpack is enough.

NPCs are different. They fight in different places, so baggage is very important.

If Su Mo destroyed their army baggage and then sent people to frequently harass the grain road, maybe this move alone could drag them to death.

Using a feint to hold back part of Count Demar's troops, the players began to approach Count Demar's reinforcements, as if they wanted to show off.

Count Dema showed no sign of weakness in this regard. The NPC archers continued to advance their shooting range under the cover of infantry. The players had no choice but to suffer huge losses.

The damage of NPC archers is too high.

Fortunately, whether it is a player or an NPC, the shooter's range is limited to a certain range. After close combat, the shooter is a piece of cake.

When the two sides are fighting together, the shooter's role is not that great.

Su Mo was sitting in command of the central army, his eyes roaming the entire battlefield, turning a blind eye to the deaths in the melee.

"The right wing advances at a medium speed and forces them to defend."

Count Demar had to deploy his troops on the left to prepare for all the players' recommendations.

However, when the player on the right was about to come into contact with the NPC defenders, he just made a feint shot and then quickly retreated to his original position.

"The right wing advances quickly. The 41st to 45th teams do not need to retreat. Fight them. The others will still retreat."

"Team 81 to Team 100, it's your turn."

Twenty teams, 20,000 people, shouted and rushed towards the enemy's formation. Their attacking position was regarded as Count Dema's rear midfield.

Count Dema still needs to send people to defend.

The individual player strength is indeed not strong, but the number is indeed large enough. Under Su Mo's cunning tactical command, it really gives Count Dema a headache.

The key is that Su Mo doesn't always use feint attacks. He often throws thousands of people into death charges.

After these people died, they were quickly resurrected at the rear.

Railway tracks laid to nearby villages allowed these patients to be quickly replenished to the front line.

"Haha, if this continues, Count Dema will be doomed sooner or later. We won't lose a thousand for ten." The senior guild leader next to Su Mo said proudly.

Like Su Mo, they would not run directly to join the battle.

Although it is easy for players to communicate, this is after all a battle between more than 200,000 people, and any mistakes may have serious consequences.

"That's too hopeless." Su Mo shook his head speechlessly.

What the person just said is right, NPCs can't afford it, and players die hundreds of times on average. As long as all the dropped equipment is provided to them and they are given some gold coins as a reward, they won't take it seriously at all.

Once the NPCs are consumed to a certain proportion, the remaining ones will become more and more afraid of death.

What's more, the fact that these soldiers have left their hometowns to fight in other places is also a factor that cannot be delayed.

But Su Mo never intended to fight this battle forever.

If 210,000 adventurers fight 30,000 NPC recruits for ten days and a half, it would be too low. Su Mo himself would not think highly of himself.

He takes the initiative on the left, while the right is testing the truth and falsehoods.

There are thousands of troops from other directions constantly distracting Count Demar's army, forcing Count Demar to focus on his head instead of his back.

"The right wing advances slowly, and the front team gradually disperses. The reserve team 120 to 160 will reach the red mark position within ten minutes, and the reserve team 160 to 200 will reach the blue mark.

I declare that the focus of the battle will shift to the right wing from now on." Su Mo saw Count Dema being distracted by the repeated harassment from the right wing, and the number of troops he responded to had reached the desired value. He announced his
Chapter completed!
