Rise In Calradia

<div;quot;read2">　　"It's Feng*Byron! Byron is here!"

For the Rhodoks, the name von Byron is even more well-known than many high lords in Swadia. Many people regard the northern lord who came from a mercenary as the nemesis of the Rhodoks. Rhodok's army never won the battle with him. And his use of dragon fire to attack Gruen Ward and capture Veluga also made him famous in the south. After finally waiting for the news of Byron's death in battle, he didn't expect that it would take long for this guy to come back from the north. So when Byron’s peony banner appeared in their field of vision, there was an immediate disturbance among the Rhodok troops who were attacking the city. Many soldiers who were about to attack the city suddenly turned back and ran in the direction of Byron’s troops. In the past, before the officer commanding them spoke, they consciously formed a line of defense consisting of spears, machete, and crossbows.

This is the reputation that Byron gained among the enemies during the southern campaign. He used the war to imprint his name on the heart of every Rhodok soldier, from Jelkala to Aaron, all in between. The Rhodok nobles in China would frown when they heard his name, and all the high-ranking officers had headaches when they heard his name. When he and his army suddenly appeared behind him, even King Griffith would be nervous.

The commander was not surprised by the behavior of his soldiers, and he was not disturbed by the possibility of being flanked by both sides. He looked at the few Swadia infantry remaining on the walls of Veluga, as well as the tired but still fighting soldiers on his side, as well as the neatly arranged army formation despite being hurriedly arranged, and then he estimated from a distance. With the number of troops on the Lun side, he still believes that he has a great chance of winning.

The black smoke that ignited in the city proved that the conversation that they had mixed into the city before the battle started had successfully instigated the resistance of the people. Prince Harau’s troops must have been scorched by the mob in their eyes. The number of their troops outside the city is still huge, and there are almost 1,500 troops just assembled to face the offensive on Byron's side. Even if many of their troops are surrounding other gates, they still have enough soldiers to deal with Byron.

"Don't panic, hold on to the line, prepare with crossbows, and meet Feng Byron!"

As the commander rode a horse back and forth behind the troops and shouted, the king's military adviser also brought a guard holding a flag high to cheer the soldiers. These brave soldiers quickly established their confidence under the encouragement of the officers and were ready to face the army under the banner of Peony in the distance.

However, the development of the war did not unfold as they expected. Byron's troops had advanced a certain distance, showing the size and overall appearance of the army, then stopped, and stopped beyond the range of the Rodok crossbowmen. , And did not mean to take the initiative to attack.

The two sides confronted each other for almost ten minutes, and none of them acted. Rodok’s commander really couldn’t figure out what the opponent was doing. He also considered that the people's riots that dragged down the city might be suppressed. The siege troops were repulsed and they really fell into a situation of being attacked by both sides. Rodok The army began to move slowly, and the crossbowmen walked to the front of the team, trying to get into range as soon as possible to release a rain of arrows to the opponent.

But at this time, the morale of Rodok's army was not as firm as before. In these ten minutes, they saw Byron's army that mixed the characteristics of Calradia.

At the forefront of the team, they saw the Nord warriors from the far north. These tall and mighty northern warriors wore thick chain armor and kept long beards that could be seen from a long distance, holding battle axes and round shields. , From time to time they will shout or beat their shields to show their power to frighten their enemies. On the side of the Nord’s troops, there are the Vickia archers who are ready to shoot cone-headed arrows with bows and arrows. Their fur exterior and leather caps are easily reminiscent of the northern part of Calradia. The vast snowfields, that is a place that many Rhodok people can't even imagine. On the flanks of this force, the horse archers from the grassland formed a special dispersal formation, bending bows and arrows ready to go. After these units, they are the most familiar enemies of the Rhodoks, and the main force of this unit. The heavily armed Swadia light and heavy infantry and heavy cavalry rely on their strong frontal combat and flanking assault capabilities. Yang's entire Calradia made the Rhodoks tickled with hatred when they talked about it.

As for the other troops, these are the mercenaries that can be seen everywhere. They are equipped with a variety of different sources, and there are even some familiar southern faces, apparently the Rhodoks who have sworn allegiance to Byron. Faced with such a large-scale mixed force that can't figure out its routines, every soldier in the Rhodok regiment has no bottom. Many people have never imagined that they will one day fight with troops in the far north and east, which makes the southern soldiers from Jelkala feel a little bit unsure.

They began to move forward nervously, approaching the unfamiliar troops step by step. The crossbowmen had already stringed the crossbow in their hands, and once the sergeants commanded them, they would shoot arrows at the enemies. They believe that no matter where the enemy is, it will not end well in the face of a strong bow and crossbow.

The distance between the two sides gradually shortened, but Byron's troops still did not move, and Rodok's troops also picked up speed, ready to quickly enter the combat position. In the process, the stable line became loose, and the soldiers who had been keeping a proper distance also gathered together. They were too in a hurry to notice the catapults just set up a few minutes ago behind Byron's troops. In order for these relatively portable and small siege equipment to be delivered here smoothly, Byron’s troops spent a lot of time in the distance to assemble them, and with the help of the army, they pushed them to the right place a little bit. It is this moment.

"put!"

Accompanied by the shout of Byron’s army engineer Yatiman, the towing ropes of the four catapults were pulled together, and five small barrels were tossed high, and several strips were drawn in the air with a little red light and not beautiful. The line finally came to the top of the Rodok troops smoothly. The Rodoks understood what Byron was going to do, but they still raised their shields subconsciously. In their impression, stones of this size would not cause much damage to groups of heavy infantry ~www.NovelMTL.com~Boom! "

Flames and smoke soar, iron nails and wood chips splash. The wooden barrels full of black powder exploded in the crowd one after another, engulfing the surrounding Rodok soldiers with the tongue of flame. Soldiers in the center of the explosion were naturally severely wounded and hard to escape, while nearby soldiers were either burned by the aftermath of the explosion, or stabbed by various iron nails and shavings contained in the barrel because the armor was not thick enough. The huge sound and terrible explosion effect frightened many Rodok soldiers who had never seen the power of gunpowder, and directly tore the originally stable front line apart. In the face of this kind of attack, few people can stand up to it. Many people tried their best to escape from the center of the explosion, so as not to let the "flame of the devil and the dragon" touch their bodies.

But this was not over yet. The gunpowder barrels thrown by the other four slings on Byron’s side had also flown over the top of the iron gate. The offensives that arrived one after another shocked the Rhodok soldiers who had been stunned by the explosion, the iron gate. Disperse immediately to avoid, further widening the gap in the square.

"Go ahead, warriors, follow in my footsteps and defeat our enemies. Victory belongs to us!"

Seeing that the tactics worked, Byron immediately raised the mace, pulled the reins, and led the cavalry unit behind him, rushing in the direction of the most chaotic Rhodok phalanx. And the whole army immediately became active, following in the footsteps of their leaders, and attacking those enemies who were scared by the flames.
