Glory Riding and Cutting

On a sunny morning, Ronan raided a small town in the Earl of Bornstein without warning, and quickly defeated the defenders and occupied it. Then, using the small town as the axis of the stronghold, the troops divided into three directions. The entire county launched an attack.

In order to guard against Cassiano and Ronan, Leonard still left a lot of troops in Wangcheng and Bornstein, and he also left several royal knights as commanders.

But what they didn't expect was that Ronan's strength was no longer what it used to be. After digesting the achievements of capturing the southern part of the kingdom during this period, the quantity and quality of Ronan's army have been improved.

1,000 Nord Legion as fortified infantry, 2,000 main battle infantry composed of Rhodok mixed with Imperial Legion infantry in the Prophecy of Pendor mod, and more than 600 heavy cavalry troops composed of mixed arms from various countries And a light cavalry unit of more than a thousand people, and finally a multi-national mixed archer unit with Vikia marksman as the main force of a thousand people.

With the addition of the 3,000-member civilian army and the more than 2,000-strong troops assembled by other lords, Ronan's strength can be said to be very strong, although there are about 2,000 infantry and 300 soldiers left. The archers stayed on the border to prevent Leon from tearing up the treaty and launching an attack, but Ronan's existing troops were not what Leonard had previously estimated that Ronan's troops would be able to resist.

In the beginning, the royal knights wanted to take the initiative to block Ronan's splitting attack, but after hitting a wall twice, they immediately gave up this idea. Even if Ronan splits his troops, they can't easily stop them, and the loss is too great If you don't, you won't be able to maintain your defense.

The defenders were forced by Ronan in the main city of Bornstein, and sent messengers to Leonard to support him before the city was besieged. Leonard didn't expect Ronan to pull up a stronger army than before in such a short time. After all, he didn't know that Ronan was involved, but he couldn't let Ronan continue to move forward. Bornstein led, and the Royal City lost its last barrier to Ronan, and it was directly exposed to Ronan's army.

Leonard must not allow the Wangcheng to be in danger. After all, it is his current foundation. Once the Wangcheng is lost from his hands, Leonard will lose several available cards, and also lose the more important hostages to Leon. Moreover, Casciano can use Wangcheng to do a lot of moves, and Leonard will fall into absolute passivity all of a sudden.

Therefore, Leonard did not hesitate to order Hebrew to lead the main force to continue to garrison the Sidon Fortress, while he led the Sunflame Legion, Tiberius' tribes and most of the Knights back to support the Bornstein Territory, and along the way Conscript all the remaining soldiers left by the major lords in their territories.

Although this can pull up a large number of troops, the price is that these territories will fall into an unprecedented defensive void. Before Leonard returned with his army, the lords on both sides of Bornstein who were also loyal to Leonard had assembled their troops under Leonard's order to put pressure on Ronan to relieve Born. Stan is under pressure.

Ronan did not continue to attack, and even retreated a little after the lords sent troops, entrenched around the small town where they hid before.

Of course, Ronan can attack with all his strength and capture the city before Leonard returns to help, and go straight to the king's city, but it's not necessary, because Leonard's spearheads will all be aimed at Ronan in this way. It's too beneficial, Leon is also Ronan's enemy, the alliance between the two parties is only short-lived and there is no guarantee.

Ronan didn't want to fight to the death with Leonard at all and let Leon save his strength to reap the mess of the two of them. Of course, Ronan also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Leonard's strength, so he decided to use his advantage in intelligence Come to intercept Leonard's support troops, cause some damage to them but don't love to fight, and don't pursue to annihilate them, so as to stick Leonard's troops here so that they can't return to Sidon Fortress.

Therefore, when Bornstein and the noble lords around him were puzzled, Ronan, who had been quiet for several days, quietly left with a group of troops in the dark, while the remaining troops were still in the town. Where to pretend, maintain the appearance since this period of time, so as not to make the enemy suspicious.

This time the ambush was mainly carried out by cavalry. After all, there was no place to hide on this road. A large number of infantry could be seen from a long distance away, so there was no way to ambush them. Therefore, Ronan was going to send scouts back and forth on the road they were about to arrive. Reconnaissance, and then use the cavalry to launch a quick raid after discovering Leonard and the others, run away in one wave, harass a few more waves if conditions permit, return to the garrison and pull out a large force to isolate them to Born Stein's route made it impossible for them to round smoothly, in short, it was just delaying time.

In order to prevent the scouts from launching signal flares and other things from being detected by Leonard's side, Ronan specially asked Magna to lead the scout team, so that Ronan could directly tell Ronan the investigation results through the system. For remote calls in a world where you can fall behind, there's no one like Ronan and the Heroes.

The long team was slowly advancing on the wide dirt road, the cavalry led the way, and the infantry walked around the carriage convoy containing Leonard and other important supplies in the center. It was almost dinner time, and the soldiers left I was very tired all day, and I was a little hungry and thirsty. I was looking forward to the meal in the evening. Although it was not very good, there were only bread and vegetable soup, but it was full of sawdust and gravel compared to what some poor soldiers used to eat. , It tastes much better than the hard black bread that can kill people with a heavy sour taste.

"Lord, they are about to enter the expected location, please get ready!" Magna, who was hidden in the surrounding trees, said to Ronan in the system.

Soon, Leonard's troops entered the expected location. Following Magna's signal, Ronan immediately led the cavalry who were waiting thousands of meters away and began to charge at an accelerated speed.

Perhaps it was because Ronan didn't expect Ronan to know their route, and he didn't expect Ronan to bypass the territories of other lords and go deep into this position. Leonard's troops were not very vigilant until the ground began to be attacked by a large number of heavy cavalry. When charging and starting to tremble slightly, the leading knight was a little alert.

"It's cavalry! Enemy attack! Get ready, infantry in formation!" Hearing the sound of heavy horseshoes stamping on the ground following the shock, the knight knew that something was wrong, and he immediately shouted and gave orders. Su's cavalry cavalry quickly finished their adjustments and jogged in circles to gather their strength, but the infantry panicked. They formed a formation in a panic, but before they had time to form, Ronan arrived when it was still a mess.
