Glory Riding and Cutting

Flames were burning on the ground outside the city, which was caused by the oil fired by rockets on the ground or the flammable cloth and wood products on the corpses. Soldiers holding shields kept crossing the corpses and other obstacles on the low hills to Most of them died on the way as they rushed to the position of the ladder. Only a few lucky ones or soldiers with more agile skills and quicker reactions could climb up the city wall smoothly.

But climbing the city wall is just the beginning. The soldiers defending the city have been waiting for them for a long time. Most of the soldiers of the siege army were stabbed to death by the soldiers who had prepared in advance or used big sticks by the warriors as soon as they climbed the city wall. They were directly knocked into the air and fell off the city wall. Under the leadership of Meriuses, the morale of those black people was very high. In addition to the cooperative training during this period, it was difficult for the attacking party to cause too much damage to the city wall if they only relied on the ladder. A big threat, the number of defenders killed by the soldiers is not even half that of the archers and catapults on the ground.

High-intensity hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons is very exhausting. The defenders on the city wall have been rotated to the second echelon at this time. The only one who has not been replaced is Meriuses who is still fighting hard. He has not been in the previous battles. Although Ronan sent him an equally important mission, it was still a little uncomfortable for a soldier who was dedicated to the battlefield.

This time Ronan entrusted him with the task at such a distance, fully expressing his trust in him, and Meriuses would naturally have to make a corresponding performance in return.

"Ha!" He swung his shield and slapped an enemy soldier hard on the wall, and then pierced his chest with a spear. After pulling out the spear, he swept across the shield of a soldier who had just climbed to the edge of the city wall. , He fell back with a scream and fell down after hitting him directly.

"We are here to stop them! We are here to kill them! Brothers, let them see our strength! Let them know that we are no longer slaves to be slaughtered!" Jun punctured on the tip of the spear and raised it fiercely, then threw it out and roared loudly.

"Huh!!!" The other black people immediately responded with a huge cry, and at the same time, they waved their weapons more forcefully, making it even more difficult for the struggling enemy army.

More than an hour has passed, but the continuous attack of the Leon army failed to even gain a foothold on the city wall and win a place.

Seeing that the morale had dropped to freezing point, Leon knew that continuing to attack would easily cause the morale of the troops to collapse, so he had to order the soldiers to withdraw.

The Leon army fighting on the city wall immediately turned over and began to climb down the ladder after hearing the order to retreat, but it was so difficult to climb up, how could the defenders let them go as soon as they said it? After chasing fiercely, only a few soldiers who ascended the city retreated back to the team under the high-intensity cover of the catapult.

"Order to retreat, Your Highness, we have no chance. Go back to the eastern part of the kingdom, we will cultivate our health and rejuvenate, and we will soon be able to send troops to fight against the rebels again!" , Barbosa's consideration is actually the best choice now, but Leon has difficulty making a decision.

"The southwest is richer than the east, the land is more fertile, and the population is larger. When we finish training, Rodritte will not be as easy to deal with as it is now. Not to mention anything else, when the time comes, the advantage of our troop numbers will definitely not be maintained. , it will only be more difficult to deal with, and if he misses the opportunity that his current strength is not as good as ours, I am afraid it will be difficult to win in the future." Leon said with a sigh.

"But Your Highness, if this army collapses here and we die here, then there will be nothing left. Gaoling will become the world of Rodritte and Mayweather. When we return to the east, we can still save for the royal family of Gaoling. Bloodline, there will always be a chance to regain the throne, even if we fail, there are still your descendants!

Retreat, Your Highness! We must leave a kindling for the royal family of Gaoling! " Barbosa continued to persuade.

"Ah!" Leon closed his eyes, sighed deeply and nodded his head with difficulty. Barbosa looked happy, and then quickly turned his horse's head to arrange the retreat.

Leon withdrew, which Ronan had expected, but it was earlier than he expected, so he had no chance to form an encirclement with other troops that were coming to attack Leon's army. Ronan had to let The troops who rushed back to their positions, and by the way, Jackson and Ravenlake, who were still harassing at the border behind the enemy's rear, came back.

As for intercepting Leon's army, Ronan thought about it and gave up. After all, he and Magna's troops were the only ones around him now. If he wanted to use these soldiers to block Leon's remaining 20,000 troops, it would be like a mantis arm. It cannot be stopped.

"That's right, just after the series of wars, we also need to take a breather. The territory has been conquered, but there is no time to take care of it. Now it is a mess. The remaining and surrendered southwestern nobles also need to be reorganized. The division of power in the southwest of Gaoling is bound to be rewritten!" Ronan said with a slight smile.

A month later, the situation in Gaoling has basically stabilized. Ronan occupies the southwest, and he still uses the excuse of replacing the injured Casciano as regent. The dead Leonard had already agreed with him to establish a principality, and it was no longer attached to Gaoling, it was an independent country.

However, his country is bordered by deserts in the north, vast mountains in the west, Ronan in the south, and the Eastern Noble Alliance currently led by Leon in the east. That is to say, his Northern Principality is currently isolated from the world. With Ronan Leon's current diplomatic relations, it is impossible to have any exchanges other than swords. Fortunately, the North has been self-sufficient for decades, and has already had its own economy and living system. It used to be similar to self-reliance , but there is no official announcement to leave Gaoling.

After Leon returned to the east, before he could catch his breath for a long time, he became nervous again because of the eagle's change at the border. Fortunately, the eagle hadn't directly tore up the agreement and launched an attack, otherwise Leon might have to suffer from things The attack on both sides directly became the second person after Leonard to withdraw from Gaoling to compete for the stage, and once he withdraws, he can directly announce that Gaoling has changed his surname.

Ronan was sitting on the throne in the royal palace of Starfall City, closing his eyes and resting his mind. He has been busy for a month. Once the war stopped, all kinds of sundries and messy things would drive him crazy. He only now knows why the emperors in ancient times were short-lived. Apart from excessive indulgence, overwork in dealing with various government affairs is definitely one of the reasons.
