Rise In Calradia

Chapter 104: : Siege of Bandit Camp

   "Obviously, the front suspension bridge has been raised, and the archers on both sides aimed at us easily."

   Lund stood on the periphery of the wall and observed carefully for a while, until the archer's arrow on the wall had shot five steps in front of him.

   "Then we hit the wall and rushed in?"

  Byron stood in front of the simple assembly table, pointing to the model of the camp site squeezed out of clay and said.

   "I'm afraid it is not easy. Although it is made of wood, it is very strong. Rockets and rams take a long time, and it takes a lot of casualties to break."

   Eleon shook his head, seeming to have no confidence in the siege weapons in the team.

   "Maybe we can wait for two days, their camp is full of people, cut off their water source, they won't be able to hold on for long."

  Fatis’ proposal was to carry out a siege, and the reason was also very good.

   Desaiwei once said that there is only one small well in this camp, and the main water supply depends on a small stream next to the camp. And because there are not many people stationed here, there are not enough supplies prepared.

   If they are besieged for three days, their supplies will be consumed by the two hundred people inside.

   When the time comes, they can only come out from the camp to fight Byron and the others. At this time, the advantage of city defense is gone.

   "The plan is good, but we don't have enough manpower to surround their entire camp. And they also have a lot of people on the periphery. We need to separate troops to destroy them."

   Bandak has a lot of combat experience, and he knows how much troops the besieged side needs to win a city. Byron's manpower is obviously insufficient.

   Eleon cast a glance at Lund, and the opponent's gaze left. Obviously, he didn't want to listen to Byron and the others.

   "We can only surround their gates and only send people to patrol the rest. No matter where they break through, as long as they come out, they will lose."

   For Bandak’s question, Fatis also thought of a solution. The camp of the Brotherhood Bandits has only one exit, which is quite reasonable from a certain point of view.

   "If Your Excellency Lund has no objection, we will encircle it first, and by the way, we will clear out the bandits nearby to prevent them from supporting it, how about?"

  Byron thought for a while, then looked at the knight Lund.

   "Let's do it, but we won't do anything else before the general attack."

   The Lund Knight agreed to Byron's suggestion, but refused to take part in the cleanup of the surrounding robbers.

   But for Byron, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least the things on the robbers and the hidden possessions belong to them.

   The siege began soon. Byron sent 20 men to guard the stream, and then sent Elaine and cavalry troops to clean up the robber outposts and small camps around.

   It was not a difficult task to destroy the robbers outside the forest. Byron and the others only killed two hired cavalrymen, wounded a few people, and wiped out all the scattered robber outposts.

  Of course, the bowman also played a big role. For those robbers with poor equipment, the lethality of the team of crossbowmen is very terrible.

   At the beginning of the encirclement, when part of Byron's troops were going to clean up the small bands of robbers, the main robbers in the camp tried to break out from the side of the wall.

   But they ran into Lund and his troops, and they fought. Afterwards, Byron's crossbowmen repelled their attacks with a dense rain of arrows. By this time the number of crossbowmen on Byron’s side had reached 50, and the quality of the crossbows and arrows exceeded those of robbers. The soldiers were also highly trained. They shot and wounded more than 20 green forests under the volley. The robbers repelled their attack and caught alive.

   In order to get the news from the camp out of this guy, Kress and Desaiwei broke one of his legs, his chin was almost unscrewed, and there were seven or eight marks on his body being cut by a knife. After telling all the news he knew, Kress ended up with him, and the screams in the camp ceased.

The siege has lasted for four days. Byron and the others have cleaned up all the places in this forest except this camp, killed more than 70 people, took 19 prisoners, and some escaped, Byron. Did not catch them.

   In order to prevent disease, Byron also ordered the construction of simple toilets in the camp, and required that the water must be boiled before drinking. In order to prevent mosquitoes, Byron also collected a large amount of herbs and placed them in various places in the camp.

   And during the siege, other branches of the Brotherhood could not come here to support, and the carriages of the Peony Mercenaries would go to nearby villages and towns to purchase necessities every day. Therefore, the morale of Byron's troops has not declined in the past few days.

   Desaivi’s intelligence and Fattis’s speculation were both correct. By the fourth day, the opponent was already unable to bear it. They tried to break through from all directions, but all failed. The number of them has decreased, but the number of wounded has also increased. In addition to the hot weather ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the attrition of robbers who lack medical resources has become more and more serious, and the scale of their breakthroughs has also begun to decrease.

  Moreover, Byron also asked the soldiers to throw the carcasses of small animals that had begun to decompose into the wall. Although this trick is vicious and bad, it has a very large impact on the opponent's combat effectiveness.

   Finally, on the night of the fifth day, the Greenwood robbers launched a raid. This time they were so large that they put down the suspension bridge and rushed out from the front.

   Even if it is a night attack, a hundred robbers with average equipment and limited skills will raid Byron's troops. This approach is similar to hunting for death.

   But while the large troops broke through, Ike took the elite soldiers and escaped through the wall, killing Byron's three soldiers along the way.

   After discovering that they had been abandoned, the robbers simply chose to surrender.

   In this way, Byron paid a small amount of casualties and caught forty or fifty robber prisoners.

   Byron's troops entered the camp with a size of one hundred and fifty people the next day, and found the dead bodies and sick robbers in the camp that hadn't had time to deal with them.

   It turned out that Byron had used a simple homemade trebuchet to throw small animal carcasses into the robber camp before, and it was not easy to find the pollution.

   Unfortunately, a rotting dead mouse fell into the robber’s well, causing dozens of patients.

   Coupled with helplessness and increasing losses, Ike finally gave up the camp and most of the soldiers and fled here.

   But several heroes have said that if Byron's move was to be used in a city with innocent civilians, they would never agree.

   This method is very effective, but also very vicious. Byron is also very clear about this, so for the sake of fame and his own conscience, he agreed to the heroes' suggestions.
