Rise In Calradia

The night attack by the Rodok army failed, and the loss was not small.

Because of this defeat, Rodok’s commander changed his previous strategy, shrank the encirclement, removed the camp hidden in the forest, and set up a simple catapult and a ladder to attack Serendil. .

　　 Rodok's infantry is powerful, and can even face the heavy cavalry of Swadia head-on.

　　 But that has to be a situation where they form a square matrix and choose the right terrain. When attacking the city, the Rhodoks did not have much advantage.

　　Byron gathered all the archers and patrolled the fence around the clock. This time he rearranged the team to prevent the previous situation.

　　 After that night, the Rhodoks would attack every day, as if the opposing commander had lost patience.

　　 3000 Rhodok infantry besieged a town that was not defended by 1,000 people. Although the number was not overwhelming, the defense facilities were relatively simple, so Byron and the others were also very difficult to deal with.

　　Especially when Rodok's trebuchet racked up, the pressure on the city defense doubled. The wall of Serendil’s wooden and stone mixed construction looked a little fragile when faced with the stones shot by the trebuchets. In just one day, after 30 salvos of four trebuchets, the wall of Sirindil Simon’s It collapsed in half. If it weren’t for Eleon brandishing a moonblade axe, enduring the pain of a crossbow bolt on his shoulder, leading the soldiers to close the gap, then Bandak and Desaiwei led the crossbowmen against each other’s crossbow bolts and catapults from the wall. His shooting suppressed Roddock's troops with a rain of arrows, and I'm afraid the wall was lost at that time.

In order to kill the trebuchets, Byron accepted Kress’s suggestion and asked her and Desaivikenrad to take a team of Swadian infantry and mercenary infantry, as well as Kenrad’s elite mercenaries at night. The soldiers, leaving from the gap in the wall, launched an attack on the enemy's position.

　　Although the opponent had already knocked down Byron and would attack these trebuchets, they still underestimated the night assassination ability of Kress and Desaiwei, and the combat effectiveness of Byron's soldiers. They defeated the guards, repelled the ambushes, burned 3 of the 4 trebuchets, and lost less than a fifth of their own.

Regrettably, even though Byron and the others planned a beautiful night attack, when Rodok’s army attacked through the gap in the wall with a tortoise shell the next day, Byron and the two barons’ The soldiers still couldn't stop them. However, they blocked the streets with debris and piled up the ground so that the Rhodok heavy infantry could not form a reloading phalanx. And a simple arrow tower was erected on the top of the nearby building to snipe the Rodok soldiers from a height.

　　 Even if he lost the western wall, Byron built a strong line of defense behind the wall. However, the Rhodoks also occupied a section of the wall, and placed their own crossbowmen on it to shoot against the guerrilla shooters of Swadia.

　　The main forces on both sides are being consumed here, but it is clear that Byron and the others are at a disadvantage in this regard. Rodok's army was three times larger than them, and abandoned the spearmen and crossbowmen, who accounted for half of the militia level, and the remaining regular soldiers were still more than half of Byron's total. If you don't want to do anything, let the troops run out first, and it must be Byron and the others that have collapsed in morale.

After thinking about it again and again, Byron put on his best armor and weapons. When the alarm bell rang again, he personally took the most elite fighters under his men and the little attendant Johnny, shouting "For Byron! For Swadia!" The slogan rushed up.

　　 "Peony mercenary! Swadia warrior! Follow me!"

Byron’s mace slammed on the helmet of a Rhodok skilled lancer. This bludgeon hit the opponent and rolled his eyes. When his neck skewed, he fell down and was by Byron’s side. Johnny used his trembling hands to make up a sword with a long sword.

　　 The soldiers guarding here boiled when they saw Byron and the heroes behind Byron. This time, even Jamila and even James rushed up with their weapons, forming a formation to block the Rhodoks who tried to turn over the bunker and attack the street.

Just like the Rhodok soldiers are best at, Byron also makes his soldiers form a phalanx, which is almost the same as the Rhodok phalanx. The shield is mounted with a spear and forms a wall behind the bunker. Once the enemy enters The attack range immediately stabs them, pulls them down from the bunker, and then drags them into the phalanx and smashes them to death with a few hammers.

　　Using Rhodok's army against the Rhodoks, the effect is much better than Byron's belief.

　　 Soon, the guards of Baron Chico, as well as Baron Phyllis and the elite soldiers around him, all rushed to support him.

　　 It's not that they really want to help Byron, but because Byron can't die now! Once he died, the backbone of the Peony Mercenary would be broken, and Serendil would definitely not be able to hold it. Who knows what will happen between these mercenaries after Byron's death, whether someone will take over or a mess. They put the treasure on Byron~www.wuxiaspot.com~ hoping to hold Serendil and fight for greater benefits for themselves.

　　 If Byron died during the battle, either they would be captured by the Rhodoks, or they would be killed by the mercenaries because of the civil strife.

　　 So when they heard that Byron was taking the lead to boost morale, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and push up on their guards. And their actions further inspired the surrounding soldiers.

　　 The morale of Serendil’s defenders was greatly boosted, and hundreds of people charged in a single charge, unexpectedly pushing Rhodok’s army apart from the wall, and pushed the front line back to the west gate.

　　…………

　　 A whole week has passed, and the armies of both sides are still fighting inside Serendil. At this time, the battlefield has been torn down by Rodok, close to the center of the town, taking almost half of the town, and opening a gap at the south gate.

　　 But what made their commander a headache was that Byron demolished part of the building and threw it down on the street, setting up barricades throughout the town. Every house must be contested, and every street is a fierce battlefield. Byron's style of play caused great losses to Rodok's army, and he was not much better.

Finally, when the Swadia cavalry garrisoned at Fort Gruen Ward reached the other side of the town holding the Swadia flag, the hard-working Swadia soldiers and Peony mercenaries all cheered. Up.

　　 And the Rhodok army also knew that the army from the south was probably deflated. In this case, even if they had taken Serendil, it would be meaningless.

　　 The Rhodoks finally chose to retreat, and Byron, who stood at the top of the stone tower observing them, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
