Rise In Calradia

Chapter 217: Enemy forces take the initiative

"The fourth team, come with me!"

On a wasteland 50 kilometers away from Fort Agron, Byron’s sergeants were commanding their soldiers, making them line up, and bringing Zizhong horses to follow the front army.

The heavy cavalry also mounted their horses one after another, and placed their equipment on the camel horse uniformly, and divided them into two teams to serve as guards on both sides of the team.

Although the heat still hasn't receded, Byron has already led his army to the north. After all, the logistical pressure of a force of this size is too great. Although he is wealthy, he does not want to spend a lot of money on logistics, and does not want to retreat halfway through the siege due to logistical problems.

So he took his main force, as well as soldiers from Suno and Uxhal, a total of 4oo people, and went to the siege of Agollomborg first. Other troops followed Veluga's food transport team northward and joined the siege. Prince Harauwu finally compromised on the issue of rations, half of the reason was his father’s request and honor, and the other half was that Byron cut off all the supplies outside the city to the city. This is a way of harming each other. But Prince Harau himself knew that Byron could not be consumed.

Therefore, he sold the food stored in the granary in the city to Byron at a low price, and sent dozens of cavalry to **** the food to Byron. But in this way, the 5ooo reinforcements originally said to be provided to Byron were so few 1ooo people.

This time, Byron brought all the regular army, peony mercenary group and logging team, desert cavalry and Kujit riders. The hero brought Fatis, Kenrad, Kreis, Yatiman, and Rolf, and Elaine and Bandak took the newly trained troops and waited until the preparation and training were all completed before going north to follow. Desaiwei patrolled the town with his collected mountain people.

Those who followed Byron this time were all elites in his army. The support troops of Suno and Uxhal are also veterans and professional soldiers selected by the two earls. The overall quality is out of the garrison in Agollomborg. This is also how Byron dared to take these 4ooo people first. Going out to encircle a defender also produced fewer castles than this number.

"Enough time to rest, Fatis, go and tell Suno and the knights of Uxhal, let them prepare, our scout cavalry has been out for half an hour."

At this time, Byron had also put on the chain armor robes, and with the help of Johnny rode the Thunder. He looked at the Peony mercenaries who were ready to be released, and then at the Suno cavalry who didn't move anything. He frowned, called Fatis, and asked him to remind Swadia. Reinforcement troops, lest the two troops leave.

The carriages loaded with food supplies and siege weapon components have also begun operations before the troops, and the desert cavalry guards them on both sides of the convoy.

The troops began to march. According to the plan, they would walk until the sun went down, then set up tents on the spot, set up a fire, eat and drink, and stay overnight.

However, the early return of the scout cavalry broke the original marching plan. Byron urgently summoned all the knights and senior officers, and told them with a serious face that the scout cavalry had spotted a large garrison on the edge of a forest in the distance, and had already fought with the opposing light cavalry. .

Before the war, the scouts would often fight in advance, and the commanders of both sides would continue to put their troops in, forming the so-called refueling tactics. At the end of the day, there was a head-on collision between the two main forces.

In the Calradia tactical books that Byron had read, this point was mentioned somewhat.

Soon, the discussion was over, and Rolf led nearly a hundred desert cavalry and all the Kujit riders to the battle position between the two sides. All the troops in the camp were also prepared, divided into weapons and armors, and began to march with these things.

According to the scouts, the number of opponents should be between 4ooo and 5ooo. There are a lot of horses, simple catapults and ballistas mounted on the carts. It seems that the troops of Agron Fort have come out. It was five calories away from their current position, where the terrain was uneven and the woods were lush. They placed their troops there and waited for Byron to attack, and they must have made adequate preparations.

Fatis said that the terrain there was not suitable for cavalry operations, which reduced their advantage by more than half, and the frontal attack was not worth the loss. Therefore, Byron divided the troops into four parts. The lumber squad’s mercenary halberds, Rodok spearmen and crossbowmen and a small number of cavalry feinted frontal attacks. , Suno knights led the troops to contain the other side, so that the other side had no time to take care of rescue. In the end, he himself led the remaining troops and Uxhal's proud and unwilling knights to act as a reserve team in case of accidents.

This arrangement is really helpless. The soldiers sent by Earl Dilynard are all elite, and the officers and knights are a little arrogant. They are ignorant of Byron's words, and let them attack, fearing that they will not obey orders, so they have to do the finishing touches. There is also rescue work.

Count Matt Ass dared to take the initiative to attack this point, he really did not expect it, but from the perspective of the opponent, it is better to take the initiative to defeat the vanguard troops led by himself in favorable terrain than to wait for the siege of the army. Some. Not only will you not have to worry about the siege, but if the situation is good, you will be able to regain the towns occupied by Byron.

Of course, it is the same for Byron. Defeat the Earl of Matthias here, and it will be easy to capture the Fort of Agora.

When Rolf hurried to the wasteland in front of the dense forest, they could already see the dark silhouette of the Rodok army in the distance, as well as the flag that looked very slender because of the distance.

At this time, their scout cavalry had already lost more than half, and their morale was about to collapse. Byron's scouts are all cavalry in chain armor, much better than Rodok's in quality. But the opponent's support troops came faster, so they immediately fell into a disadvantage and were almost surrounded and wiped out.

Rolf's arrival rescued them. Following his command, the desert cavalry rushed straight to the Rhodok scouts. They shot their javelins together, and immediately smashed the opponent's formation. The Kurgit riders also went to the rear, shooting them with bows and arrows. The soft armor on these Rodok scouts couldn't stop the javelin and the iron arrow at all.

Rolf ordered a chase, but another wave of reinforcements rushed over before chasing the opponent. These people rode all traveling horses, and after the two sides approached, they dismounted one after another, forming a square formation around the horses.

They were all heavily armed veteran spearmen and skilled crossbowmen. Rolf and the others approached, and the crossbow bolt shot over, wounding several cavalry and two desert horses, making them retreat for a while. Distance, watching those scouts flee.

However, leaving without taking advantage is not in line with Rolf's character ~lightnovelpub.net~ He roared a few times, waved a few flags, and his cavalry immediately dispersed and surrounded the opponent's phalanx.

Rolf knew that the impact capability of the Desert Cavalry was insufficient, and the loss would be very large if they hit it directly. So he directed these cavalrymen to circle around the phalanx, throwing javelins, and the horse archers standing and shooting. The crossbowmen in the phalanx also fought back, but their number was not enough to suppress the opponent, and because they needed vision when shooting, several crossbowmen were shot and wounded because they exposed their bodies.

Rodok's phalanx began to loosen, and Rolf also planned to attack from the weak point. However, at this time, there was a neigh of horses from a distance, and another group of Rhodok noble cavalry riding southern horses armed with lances and long warhammers rushed towards them, and the encirclement of the Rhodok phalanx also collapsed in an instant.

Rolf immediately sent soldiers to report to Byron and ask for more support...
