The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

The fire that ignited in the night attracted the attention of a knight under a great nobleman, and soon a dozen noblemen led hundreds of their men to the scene.

"William, what are you doing? Why did you set the fire in the middle of the night? What should you do if you attract the enemy?"

The leader, Marquis Eden, looked at the blazing flames and angrily questioned William, the king's personal guard.

You must know that these days, in order to prevent being caught up by the pursuers sent by Ye Tianlong, they all dare not light a fire at night, and can only eat the dry and hard black bread to satisfy their hunger. And today, the king's personal guard actually set fire here in the middle of the night. If this attracts the pursuers, all of them will be buried with this fool.

However, Count Remarde, who was beside the Marquis of Eden, quickly scanned the surrounding area and failed to find the little king. When he realized something, he hurriedly shouted to William and asked: "William, where is His Majesty the King?"

William faced the earl's shouts and questions, but there was no trace of fear on his face. He laughed and replied: "Haha...! You are a hypocrite who asks questions knowingly, didn't you guess it?"

"William, you actually dare to commit regicide! Is this how you protect His Majesty the King?"

Seeing that William, a mere bodyguard, dared to speak to him like this, Earl Remard suddenly felt that he was greatly offended. He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the king's bodyguard. He shouted: "Untouchable, kneel down! Apologize to me!"

"At this point, you are still showing off your aristocratic power in front of me! You are all smart, right? Since I have done such a thing, I must go with His Majesty!" William said. , suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pierced his chest with the sword.

"Damn guy!" Seeing that William chose to commit suicide so simply, Count Reimald cursed in anger, then stepped forward and slashed William hard several times to remove the wound in his chest. Bad breath.

Before he died, William smiled even more cheerfully when he looked at the other party's actions, and whispered softly like a curse: "Do you think you can escape? Soon, soon you will all come down to accompany His Majesty! "

Listening to William's 'curse' before his death, Marquis Eden couldn't help but feel a very bad feeling in his heart, so he decided not to stay here any longer and wait for reinforcements from the Kingdom of Vikia and Swadia. Instead, prepare to pack up and run away tonight.

On the other side, Ye Tianlong led the army to attack with overwhelming force. At this time, it was only a dozen miles away from Cherbek Fort.

Some of the defeated troops on the front line also began to flee around Cherbek Fort. This made the nobles realize that something was wrong, so they, like the Marquis of Eden, prepared to pack up and run away.

In order to have enough food and fresh water for them to cross the sea, these nobles completely looted the entire city that night, and then took the remaining [-] soldiers with them on a medium-sized warship and six small-sized warships. The battleship quietly set out to sea.

However, not long after they set out to sea, at dawn, a fleet appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

The characteristics of the ironclad ship at the head were so obvious that Marquis Eden and the others immediately recognized it as Ye Tianlong's fleet.

"Quick! Turn around!"

Marquis Eden anxiously urged his soldiers, and also asked the guards to put on armor and prepare battle equipment for him, because he also saw many small battleships in the enemy fleet. These The small warships are very fast and will probably catch up with them later. It will take a fierce battle to completely escape the pursuit of the other fleet.

However, Marquis Eden guessed wrong this time. The two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who led the fleet had no intention of sending out warships to pursue them, and instead fired directly.

In the previous landing battle, the reason why they did not fire artillery was because their lord was afraid of destroying those cities, but now they no longer have such scruples.

So soon, many main guns and secondary guns on the Sea Dragon ironclad, which had already entered the range, opened fire in unison. Such dense artillery fire completely blinded the Marquis of Eden and the others in the first round. Obviously, they did not Thinking that there were so many artillery pieces on that ironclad ship, especially some of the giant cannons, they were surprisingly powerful. The medium-sized warship they were on was only hit by one shot, and the side of the warship was torn apart. There was a large opening more than two meters long, and seawater poured in crazily from this breach, making it impossible to block it.

"It's over! It's all over! Then William's curse has come true!"

Marquis Eden looked at the battleship that was beginning to tilt due to the constant intrusion of water. His face was full of despair. At the same time, he also thought of the words of the suicidal William before his death. It was difficult not to let the other person's words come true so quickly. He thinks about retribution. Perhaps their fate was already doomed from the moment they started the rebellion.

After more than ten minutes of artillery bombardment, most of the enemy warships were sunk. The only two remaining small warships hoisted white flags and chose to surrender.

Seeing how vulnerable these enemy troops were, brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel a little bored. After letting their soldiers drive those wooden warships up to disarm the surrendered enemy troops, they began to salvage corpses from the sea.

Since many corpses fell into the sea with the sunken warships, the smell of blood attracted many ferocious carnivorous sea beasts such as sharks. These sea beasts were fighting to bite the human corpses in the sea. .

Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng frowned and called a group of soldiers, who fired several rounds of volleys at the sharks with flintlock rifles.

After seven or eight of them were killed, the sharks finally realized how powerful the humans were, so they could only leave the bodies and flee unwillingly.

After driving away the sharks, brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun jumped into the sea with hundreds of soldiers with the best water skills, and then began to collect the torn and torn human corpses, especially some of the enemy's large ones. The corpses of the nobles must be specially selected and distinguished. After all, the heads of these guys are a huge military achievement!

Just as the Marquis of Eden and his gang were easily annihilated by the brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who had been ambushing them halfway, Guo Xiaoyun leaned on the wall of the recently occupied Jellberg Castle with a bored look on his face. On top of the parapet, I was counting silently in my heart, waiting for my shift change to have dinner.

As a late player who joined Ye Tianlong's command, Guo Xiaoyun did not catch up with the good times and did not achieve many military achievements. Now he is just a small sergeant, although in the eyes of many indigenous soldiers, the rank of sergeant is already Not low, but Guo Xiaoyun is very dissatisfied with this. You must know that among the first players to join Ye Tianlong's command, Luo Chenguang, who was originally from the army, is now a colonel and can command thousands of troops as a side. He is the head coach, and his master Li Rufeng has the rank of major general. Guo Xiaoyun's mere sergeant rank is really not worth mentioning!

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to defeat the rebels of the Kingdom of Sirona to achieve some military exploits so that his military rank could continue to rise.

But who knew that the Kingdom of Sirona was completely a soft persimmon! They are completely vulnerable, and they often haven't taken action yet! Then he heard that the friendly troops in front had already captured the city, leaving him little opportunity to make any military exploits along the way.

Then after reaching Fort Jelborg, his team was left here as a garrison, and now they had no chance to make meritorious deeds.

Unfortunately, Guo Xiaoyun couldn't disobey military orders, so although he was very reluctant to stay here as a garrison, in the end he had to hold his nose and admit it.

Compared to Guo Xiaoyun's reluctance, the indigenous soldiers under his command were quite happy to serve as the garrison of Fort Jelborg.

After all, after becoming a garrison, there is no need to march as hard as before, and there is no need to risk death in attacking enemy cities.

So not far from Guo Xiaoyun, a soldier standing guard with him had a look of satisfaction on his face.

But suddenly, the soldier's expression changed, he hurried over and patted Guo Xiaoyun on the shoulder, shouting: "Captain, captain! Something is wrong!"

"Anthony, what's wrong?" Guo Xiaoyun lazily turned to his subordinate and asked.

"Captain, there seemed to be a few cavalry passing by outside the city just now. They don't look like our people!" Faced with Guo Xiaoyun's inquiry, Anthony answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Guo Xiaoyun immediately stood up and leaned out from the female wall to check. He found that there were indeed several cavalrymen who were quickly moving away. Judging from the armor on those cavalrymen, it did not look like they were from their side.

The cavalry of the Kingdom of Sirona had been basically wiped out by their cavalry in the previous battle. The cavalry that will appear here at this time is likely to be from the Kingdom of Swadia next door.

After thinking about this, Guo Xiaoyun suddenly shouted excitedly: "Wonderful! My chance to make a meritorious deed has finally come!"

"You continue to stare here, and I will report the news to Lord Yang Zhi!" After telling Anthony, Guo Xiaoyun quickly got off the city wall and ran towards the city lord's palace.

As a city located near the border between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Swadia, Jelborg Castle is very important. It guards the only intersection from the middle of the border into the Kingdom of Nord, so Ye Tianlong specially stayed here. There were [-] defenders led by Yang Zhi.

As a colonel and earl with the same military rank as Luo Chenguang, Yang Zhi is considered an absolute high-ranking person under Ye Tianlong. Although his commanding ability is not as good as Luo Chenguang's, as a member of a family of generals, his ability in this regard will not be inferior no matter how bad he is. Where to go? In addition, his own strength is much stronger than that of Luo Chenguang, so Ye Tianlong feels that it should not be a big problem to let him stationed at Jelborg Fort with more than a thousand troops, even if he encounters Despite being heavily surrounded by enemy troops, it was not a big problem with Yang Zhi's ability to hold on for a few days, and a few days would be enough for Ye Tianlong to call back the army for rescue.

However, perhaps because he often messed up his errands at this time, Yang Zhi's confidence in himself was a bit lacking. This was the first time that the lord Ye Tianlong entrusted him with an important task. As a general guarding an important border town, Yang Zhi felt uneasy for a moment. He never relaxed and was almost in a state of alertness every day, fearing that he would lose the city due to his negligence and make his lord disappointed in him.
