Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 24

Just when Reisel was complacent, a soldier ran back in a hurry, knelt down and said, “Lord Marquis, Ross’s territory has directly attacked them, and killed them all without leaving anyone behind!”

Raisel turned his head slowly: “Who?”

“It’s the dozens of people you arranged near Ross’s territory and pretended to go to Ross to help us in our next move.”

The soldiers spoke in a row, and every word was heard clearly.

Russell fell into a trance for a while. What he thought was a foolproof action turned out to be seen through by Ross at a glance?

Is Ross’s wisdom still above his own?

Raisel shook his head, this is impossible, how could a marquis of himself be afraid of a fledgling waste earl.

You must know that Raisel is in this western region, but he is omnipotent, and it is impossible for a mere Rose to cause any danger to him.

Reisel slapped the table angrily and immediately executed the soldier on the grounds of lying about military intelligence.

Reisel didn’t want anyone to doubt his decision at all, and immediately asked the executioner to kill the soldier who provided the information, and then said, “Sergeant Major, Rhea!”

A middle-aged man knelt down for the first time and asked in confusion, “What’s your order, Lord Marquis?!”

Rhea was the largest sergeant major in Raisel City. He was in charge of 5,000 soldiers and 3,000 knights. It could be said that one person was in charge of half of Raisel City’s troops.

Reisel said slowly: “I will give you another three thousand soldiers, eight hundred longbowmen, and four thousand good horses. Now go and attack the city of Ross!”

“Okay!”

Rhea agreed all of a sudden. After all, he promised a little earl’s territory. It was nothing but a simple matter for him, and he could also get a series of rewards. Why not do it?

Rhea led half of the soldiers out of the city, and Raisel slowly sat down and felt relieved.

Russell City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is backed by mountains, so there is no need to worry that Ross will raise his troops to sneak attack here.

Moreover, there are 2,000 elite troops in the city alone, such as longbowmen, and Ross has nothing to do about it.

After all, there are only 300 English longbowmen in Ross, and Ross will definitely express his envy when he finds out.

However, Ross also has his own plans, two hours later.

Ross noticed that Rhea was raising his troops, and immediately ordered: “All the soldiers will attack, and the English longbowmen who ambushed in the deep forest on both sides will kill the opponent’s longbowmen first.”

Longbowmen are still very troublesome for Ross, and their hands are too long, and their range is very long, even more than 1,500 meters.

There were only a hundred longbowmen on the watchtower, because the troops on the four watchtowers were all gathered on the two watchtowers in front.

After all, even if the enemy came from the rear, Ross could make the slings respond earlier, so there was no need to waste so many troops in the rear.

“Sling ready, launch!”

Ross gave an order, and after a swoosh, boulders lined up like a formation and shot at Rhea’s army quickly.

Rhea’s army soon had hundreds of people killed, but fortunately Rhea reacted in advance and spread out the lineup, just to reduce the threat of some slings.

After all, Ross has a great home field advantage, plus the power and range of large catapults are much stronger than walking catapults, which is considered to be the right place at the right time.

At this time, Rhea led a medium-sized team of several hundred people and drove forward with five catapults.

Ross asked the archers to focus their fire on the catapults, quickly destroying two of them.

However, before he had time to destroy the remaining three, he was attacked by a catapult equipped with stones, and a dozen boulders hit the city wall with a bang. Fortunately, Ross had already renovated the city wall, and now his The city wall is more than ten meters wide and seventy meters high.

As expected of the city wall that cost Ross tens of thousands of gold coins to build, it is strong enough!

The falling of the boulder actually only left some shallow pits.

At this time, Rhea’s remaining troops also moved forward to a position where Ross’s catapult could not hit, but Ross ordered the soldiers to refocus the catapult at the next moment, aiming at 800 to 500 meters.

When that time comes, take away some soldiers one after another.

The next moment, Ross let the soldiers and knights who were ambushed in the grass on both sides attack.

Wow!

When Rhea saw that people on both sides were ambushed ahead of time, he felt bad, but the next second was too late, and the troops in front were divided into parts and surrounded by groups.

Rhea was fighting with Ross’s soldiers and had no time to think about Ross’s next plan.

Encircling the opponent is definitely not feasible. Rhea’s troops are more than Ross’s, there are 8,000 people, and a considerable part of the 5,000 soldiers are charge soldiers, and their combat attributes are not inferior to ordinary knights.

In addition to the 5,000 soldiers in Ross’s army, and the more than 1,000 assault soldiers included in these 5,000 soldiers, there were only 2,000 knights left, and 300 English captains. Archer.

In terms of numbers, Ross was more than 3,000 people behind Rhea.

Therefore, Ross decided to enlarge the home field advantage and send the catapult out as soon as possible.

Although the power of the catapult is much smaller than that of the catapult that is dozens of times larger, it is more flexible and can be aimed at another sight at any time. It does not take a lot of time to readjust once the range is exceeded like the catapult!

Ross launched ten catapults and entered a distance of ten meters outside the city.

The reason why Ross didn’t arrange the catapult in advance before Rhea arrived was to prevent Rhea from seeing it and take other countermeasures.

Ross just wanted to wait for Rhea to come in, and then come to catch the turtle in the urn.

After the catapult entered, Ross ordered all the soldiers to retreat.

After the soldiers heard the order, they no longer surrounded the head troops of the thousands of people where Rhea was, and Rhea didn’t want to let go of these Ross’s main army, and wanted to rush up immediately.

But for a while, the remaining three catapults failed.

The catapult was only 600 to 700 meters away from Ross’s city gate, and soon Ross sent two hundred civilians to destroy it.

Rhea suddenly realized that he had neglected the catapult, but turned his head and saw that the stormtroopers sent by Ross were still a few hundred meters away from reaching the catapult, and at a time, hundreds of knights rushed up, facing the Ross’s stormtroopers.

But just as the two sides were about to fight, the hundreds of knights on horses were much faster after all. Before the stormtroopers could reach the catapult, Rhea’s knights surrounded and protected the catapult.

Ross smiled, because they were tricked.
