Rise In Calradia - Chapter 404: : Rhodok Civil War (9)

The huge sound was like a thunder that exploded on the ground, and the flames gushing out like a dragon roared towards the sky, as if to poke a hole in the clouds. The soldiers running with all their strength around the wall also seemed so slow, the flames spread little by little, swallowing their bodies, the impact seemed so strong that even the thick wooden stakes trembled. In less than a second, a faint spark turned into a giant composed of flames, roars, and scorching hot air. He angrily grabbed the thin wooden stick in front of him with a pair of big hands, and connected the tattered wood together. The little bugs above were thrown into the sky together, he roared and rushed to the sky, tearing at those things, until his huge figure was gradually diluted by the larger space, until his anger was resolved in this vast sky. He let out a long sigh and disappeared into a cloud of smoke, and as he left, the wood that was thrown into the air, as well as the unlucky little people, fell to the ground with his departure. Until then, the wails of these poor creatures were not heard by those around them.

“Dragon Fire? Is that Dragon Fire?!”

Wang **’s militiamen looked at their trembling hands. They had just recovered from the huge noise and fire. They were frightened by the terrible power of gunpowder. Many of their comrades had fought with Byron’s troops. Veterans, some of whom have also seen the terrifying power of Dragon Fire, and told those around them. But even so, when experiencing such a large-scale gunpowder detonation in person, it still makes people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

The thick wooden stake was blasted into several pieces and fell from the air, smashing a hole on the ground, and the sawdust scattered like snowflakes, falling on the soldiers who were still in shock.

There was a gap in the wall that was enough for two people to enter together, and a fragment of the wall with only a half-person tall wooden stake left. Either far away from the wall and still in panic, no one stopped the second attack launched by the Peony Regiment, and by the time they noticed, the opponent’s infantry had knocked down the broken half of the wooden stake, and opened the gap three times. The influx in groups of four.

Wang **’s soldiers fully recovered and resisted after seeing the enemy rushing in, but in this case, they would obviously suffer a big loss when they fought back. The soldiers of the Peony Regiment are quite elite, and because they often perform tasks in small groups, the level of cooperation in small-scale teams is very good. Even after Rezarit unified the training method, they surpassed the regular army of Rhodok in terms of tacit understanding and organization. When the soldiers from all directions rushed up to try to block them, the Peony Corps only took a few seconds to form a formation into multiple teams to block them, and let the friendly forces in the rear enter support while they were around. Soon, more than 100 infantrymen and crossbowmen of the Peony Regiment passed through the gap in the wall, and killed the Wang ** militia who came to stop them.

Seeing that the mercenaries had achieved victory, Lord Kesto gave the order to attack without waiting for the other lords to observe the situation. Thousands of soldiers rushed to the gap, and the soldiers who attacked other parts of the wall also began to approach.

But this also allowed Wang **’s officers to confirm the direction of their main attack. After a panic, Rhodok’s troops returned to order, and the king’s reserve force no longer had to be scattered around the wall, but could be concentrated. support. The phalanx of long spears was arranged to form a large and thick semi-circular position. Now, neither the Peony Regiment nor the mercenaries and soldiers of the coalition could break through this obstacle. They were confined to the crowded area they had seized before, and were counted among them. The unclear spear forced him to retreat.

If it was under Byron’s command, then the soldiers of the Peony Corps would definitely be swayed by their actions towards Byron.

Loyalty and significant additional war allowances (additional rewards for hard fighting, generally containing at least the equivalent of

A month’s salary bonus and additional loot dividends, but only for following Byron’s battle) and rushed to cut off those gun barrels, resisting the pressure of the enemy’s front and allowing friendly support to arrive smoothly. But because this is just a mercenary battle, their own life is the first priority, plus they have a little savings, there is no need to waste their lives here for a little money. So the soldiers of the Peony Regiment blew the horn and started to retreat after paying a certain amount of casualties. It didn’t matter. Because of the sudden change in the form of the war just now, the new king Kesto did not issue a clear attack command at all. Therefore, the rest of the mercenary troops began to retreat after seeing the Peony Corps retreat, leaving a large number of Rhodok coalition troops beside the wall.

The chain reaction triggered by this move was catastrophic for King Kong of the coalition forces. The sudden withdrawal of a large number of mercenaries made the front-line commanders not knowing what to do. They could only continue to try to attack, but when the friendly forces were on the side When evacuating while squeezing one’s own line, it is extremely difficult to maintain the formation or the morale of one’s own troops.

As a result, their offensive quickly failed. Wang ** relied on sufficient crossbow arrow support and the deadly carrying of the pike phalanx to push them out of the wall step by step, making the victory achieved by paying a large number of casualties instantly vanished. The coalition forces could only leave the corpses on the ground, retreated to the camp with hundreds of wounded soldiers, and continued to throw stones at each other with the newly built trebuchets.

Lord Kestor was angry and helpless. He could only ask Levens to persuade and threaten the retreating mercenaries (including the Peony Corps) to return to the battlefield, and promised a rich reward.

So the large army gathered again and rushed towards the gap in the wall. At this time, of course, Wang ** did not have enough time to seal the gap, so the two sides fought around the gap, and the remaining dragon fire was also escorted. come over. But this time, Wang ** has already made preparations. Although there are several detonations, the effect is far less than this time.

But in any case, this line of defense is quite unreliable. With the continuous attack of the coalition soldiers and the continuous support of trebuchets and other siege equipment, there are more and more gaps in the wall, and the distance that the coalition can attack the wall is also farther and farther.

But that doesn’t mean the war is over, after all the king’s army is still huge, they just couldn’t fully unfold it before. The commanders of the two forces inside and outside the city walls knew that the collision of the main forces of the two sides was just a matter of the past few days.
