Rise In Calradia - Chapter 425: : Siege of the Five Armies

“For Byron!”

Under the steed banner, Fatis, who was wearing a plate armor almost identical to the Swadian royal knight, chanted the name of Byron, the sword in his hand pointed to the sky, reflecting a faint silver light under the dawn sun .

“For Saint Byron!”

Amira and Gamic’s army followed Fatis with an unbelievably high morale. They strode forward for nearly ten miles, wearing full armor, carrying sufficient weapons and Arrows, some people even held flags and sculptures with religious symbols, just because of the name “Byron” aroused their endless fighting spirit.

And there are 800 soldiers with such strong morale in this team! After Fatis received Byron’s order, he didn’t dare to be negligent, and used the fastest time to summon all the remaining available troops in Eastern Rhodok, including a lot of militiamen, leaving only the most basic defense Troops, and then personally led the army to support.

They originally planned to go north from Amira in the normal way, go east after passing through a series of territories controlled by Byron, pass through Gruen Ward Castle under the control of Swadia, and resupply at Serendil by the way, and meet up The troops of Jamila, Bandak and others went south again. However, Byron sent three letters in a row urging them to march for support, preferably from the rear to attack the Royal Army and the coalition army that were marching towards Gelkala, so Fatis asked the messengers and learned that they were taking a huge risk. On the way, two couriers were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Rhodok patrol.

Fatis knew how risky it was, but he had to do it. So he led his troops to proceed carefully from the mountains that separated the Rhodok hinterland and the east, trying to reach the battlefield as soon as possible in a straight line.

This road is full of dangers, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult. Once a large army of hundreds of people moves, it will continue to leave the team and be divided into dozens of pieces. Even Rhodok locals who are familiar with mountain and forest operations will rarely pass here. . And because the mountains along the way are too steep to run horses, even Fatis himself can only walk. They could only carry supplies on foot, and endure the heavy religious loads of superstitious soldiers, which severely slowed down their progress. But these are not the most critical issues. On this mountain road, there are several patrol teams loyal to King Graves. They are the king’s elite fighters. After some of Byron’s soldiers and scouts were able to sneak across the mountain trails, even when the civil war was at its height, they sent this force to strengthen the defense of the eastern region. These patrols still stuck to their posts and did not leave, always watching The movement of Eastern Rhodoks, in case they suddenly attack from behind.

These patrols caused Fatis and his troops to suffer a lot. Those outposts stuck at the entrance of the mountain road were nothing more than **** piled up of stones and wood, and the soldiers inside were usually no more than ten people, but they were blocked. Fatis and their route forward, and the difficulty of attacking is very high. By the time the troops finally made it through the dreadful mountain pass and obtained horses in nearby villages, 73 lives had been lost forever in the mountains.

It was all worth it alone, when nearly a thousand soldiers approached the walls along the river, and all the soldiers of Thrindir gave them the loudest cheers.

“How many troops does the **** have!?”

This army that suddenly appeared from the east and was about to reach the defense line of the wall immediately aroused the vigilance and anger of King Graves. He raged in front of his subordinates rarely and cursed Byron, and then ordered an immediate attack on the wall .

Even Earl Tubiton was unwilling to accept this order. In the eyes of the lords and many officers, the three troops led by von Byron have been following them closely, most of the time they are less than a day away from them , plus they had already rested for one night before, it is difficult to quickly resolve the battle when launching an attack at this time, and they will be in danger of being surrounded by many sides.

But His Majesty the King has made up his mind, and it is not good for others to say more. So the king’s army was divided into two parts. One group of the most elite soldiers began to build ladders to attack the wall, and the other group began to build horses in the open space behind their own troops, intending to use this simple line of defense to stop the enemy who might appear from behind. .

At this time, Fatis’ troops were already approaching Serendil’s troops on the wall, and they had reached the river. They could join Jamila and the others as long as they crossed the river.

Therefore, the king’s troops launched an almost fatal offensive. They ignored the crossbow arrows shot from the wall and the falling rocks thrown down. They just wanted to make as much progress as possible before the opponent’s support arrived. foothold.

On the other side, as the enemy kept approaching, a Rhodok lord also noticed that the team holding the horse banner actually didn’t use a few cavalry at all, only a few officers at the front rode horses, so he immediately sent this The news was passed to His Majesty the King, and King Graves also sent another force to attack the farther wall. He decided that the other party did not have enough troops to guard the long wall, and those who did not have enough horses to support them could not cross the river. It takes a while. He wanted to take down the wall before Fatis’ troops arrived, and then drive them away on the other side of the wall.

So the troops of both sides fought fiercely on the wall. The quality of the king’s guards was very high. Among the 300 soldiers who attacked the wall, 60 were Rhodok sergeant level, and 40 were armed with siege crossbows, and they were almost perfect at this distance. Rhodok snipers, and others can reach the level of senior Rhodok spearmen or senior crossbowmen. During the civil war, they were the strongest line of defense around the king, making it impossible for the coalition forces to reach the king no matter how many times they tried. At this time, let them charge at the forefront like ordinary infantry, which shows the eagerness in the king’s heart at this time.

On the wall, Bandark, wearing a face helmet, commanded Serendil’s crossbowmen to guard the line of defense. They were excited by the news that the friendly forces were coming, so they kept repeating the actions of winding, shooting, and winding again. Senior crossbowmen also have spare crossbows and entourages to assist in winding, pouring as many crossbow arrows as possible to the enemy.

But they are not the only ones with crossbows in their hands. The snipers and senior crossbowmen under the wall shoot slowly but more fiercely. Basically, they can hit the target or the target’s shield every time. When the crossbow bolt hits, the chain armor iron ring on the body will break immediately, and the crossbow bolt will penetrate the inner lining and insert into the flesh, or even get stuck in the bone. After a while, the crossbowmen on the wall fell into a disadvantage. They could only send more people to the wall to suppress those terrible snipers with numbers, but in this way, the defense gap of the wall became more and more bigger.

The sergeants boarded the wall, and they tacitly formed a small team with their comrades in arms. Some of them held shields and smashed the head of the enemy with a hammer, while others used machetes or spears to cover behind them. Soon there were more than 20 soldiers. The soldiers mounted the wall and began to compete with the defenders on the wall for this line of defense.

At this time, the troops led by Fatis were still crossing the river, and even the first few cavalrymen had just arrived at the shore and were taking off equipment from the pack horses to re-arm themselves.

The reinforcements could not arrive in time, so Serendil’s troops could only be suppressed by enemies who were far more numerous than themselves and assisted by powerful royal guards. Bandak took a great risk to disarm a sergeant and push him down The wall, but there are still more than a dozen Rhodok sergeants killing and killing on the wall. In desperation, Bandak ordered to retreat and abandon the wall, and the crossbowmen also moved under the wall and shot at the enemies on the wall.

The kingdom’s army had won a major victory, and King Graves was very happy. The plan finally went smoothly. When they completely took down the wall, even if the reinforcements from Swadia arrived, they would not have to compete with each other for the wall. Advantage Eliminate them on flat ground.

But just like the situation that His Majesty the King has been encountering all this time, Byron is always able to do something that he did not expect.

The combined forces of Swadia were within sight of them, half a day earlier than they had estimated.

The heavy cavalry unit began to roundabout from the west, and the flying dust made the soldiers in the unit feel uneasy again. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Quick-moving light cavalry troops appeared in the southeast. Their strength is not very good but they are very annoying. And a large number of Swadia and Rhodok mixed infantry units are following these two troops approaching from the south. They will be late, but they will never be absent.

King Graves sighed, and the lords under him also expressed uneasiness. They have been surrounded, surrounded by a full five armies, can they really win this battle? Or…will they all survive?

The king didn’t want to answer them, he just walked silently to the officers who were defending the line of defense against horses behind them, and then gave the simplest order.

“Hold the line.”

All obeyed, as they had always been loyal to His Majesty the King.
