Rise In Calradia

"For Lord Byron, attack!"

When the Rhodok cavalry finally found a spacious place to stop and rest and wait for the follow-up troops, they suddenly felt something was wrong. The horse began to commotion, and there was a faint tramp of horseshoes in the distance.

Those Rhodok noble cavalry were the first to stand up. They were wearing Swadian style cavalry armors, green or brown cloaks, and standing next to their Swadia horses with warhammers in their hands.

But they didn't risk going over to check the situation. This kind of work should be done by mercenaries, and the value of those people being hired is here.

They led their horses one after another, and those who had taken off their outer armor also asked the mercenaries next to them to wear plate armor and other parts. Several mercenaries immediately mounted their horses, and then ran in the direction of the sound.

But before these cavalry disappeared from the sight of other people, a black line emerged from the other side of the horizon. The speed was not too fast, but if it was a Swadia cavalry riding a war horse, This speed is enough for them to penetrate their chests with spears and lances.

The few mercenary hussars immediately turned their horses and ran back, shouting something while running. Although it is not clear, from their panic and fearful tone, those Rhodok cavalry and mercenaries can Guess what those people came from.

Rhodok's cavalry mounted their horses one after another, and the mercenaries rode their horses in a row in a panic.

But at this time, the cavalry team had begun to accelerate, and the cavalry in the front of the team also raised their lances, long swords and sabers.

Their formation is more compact and dense than the Swadia cavalry formation they have seen before, which makes them charge like a wall with spikes advancing forward.

A Rhodok scout cavalry stumbled while running back, which caused Te to be left behind by others and chased by the cavalry wall behind.

After a scream, the spear quickly passed through his body, dragging him off the horse. After that, the horseman drew his spear upside down when charging, drew the spear out, and threw the undead mercenary to the cavalry horse behind him.

Many of the Rhodok cavalry team that had just lined up involuntarily stepped back a little bit, and the cavalry captain wearing a plate chestplate also swallowed hard, trying to get his arm no longer. Trembling.

He is not older than Fatis, although his swordsmanship is indeed very good, but his captain position comes more from his aristocratic status. Although he himself has learned riding and combat since he was a child, his previous opponents have always been bandits and bandits, as well as small groups of Swadia infantry.

When facing the real Swadia heavy cavalry charge, he realized how bad his so-called cavalry tactics before.

Under the guidance of Peony Banner, Byron's cavalry team collided with Rodok's cavalry.

Two hundred well-armed and well-trained heavy cavalry rushed into this Rhodok cavalry unit, and in a blink of an eye the team was shattered to pieces.

…………

Not surprisingly, against this inexperienced Rhodoc cavalry, Byron easily won. Most of the cavalry Rhodok cavalry were killed, a few high-ranking leaders were captured, a total of 97 enemy prisoners were killed. On Byron's side there were only 10 casualties and more than 20 horses, and the senior cavalry had basically no losses. In comparison, it can be considered a big victory.

Because of the tight schedule, Rodok's army may arrive at any time, and after a while, the horses are also lacking, unable to withstand another high-intensity battle. So Byron only took away the weapons and armors that were easy to remove, took away the horses that were not injured much, and left the rest in place.

Byron and the others fixed the wounded on the horse, and then rushed back to the main town of Serendil as soon as possible.

When Byron and the others entered the town with Rodok’s captives, many Swadians, including Baron Phyllis and Baron Chico, surrounded them. They laughed at the captives and praised Byron. The strength of the troops. Whether they were sincere or just to deal with Byron, this really boosted morale, and the soldiers of Baron Phillis who had been chased by the Rodok cavalry before also regained their fighting spirit.

Byron locked up the prisoners and asked them for information on the Rhodok army.

These captives are quite spine, resolutely not to talk about the intelligence of the troops. But they expressed that they are willing to pay to redeem their freedom, and hope that Byron will guarantee their lives and respect them accordingly. This is a habit among the nobles, and Byron has no need to violate it.

Only two hours after Byron returned to the town, the flag of Agor Rhombus was flying in the forest outside Serendil.

In the beginning, Byron and the others could only follow the forest to see the flag. Later, many Rhodok soldiers started camping outside the forest. The town’s alarm bell was sounded, and all the soldiers in the town rushed to their posts, nervously watching the Rhodok soldiers outside the town camp there.

The Rhodoks set up tents in and outside the forest without rushing ~www.readwn.com~ and began to send troops to build fences and reject horses in other directions of the town.

Byron observed the fence for a while, but couldn't figure out the specific number of the opponent. But what is certain is that the number of Rhodoc troops outside the forest is about 2,000, and the number in the forest should not be less than this number.

Most of the troops in Agron Fort should be outside the town. It is estimated that in one day, they will be able to set up their camp and start the siege.

Siege is a normal behavior, but the opponent's preparation for a long-term battle still surprised Byron. Byron's troops are not much compared to them, but they have plenty of supplies. The supplies of these Rhodoks had to be levied from Agron Fort and the nearby villages where Byron had evacuated most of the supplies, and the logistical pressure was very high.

Moreover, the form of war is changing rapidly, and dragging it off may affect the entire war situation.

In this case, the long-term siege is either because the opponent's intelligence gathering ability is too poor, or the opponent's commander has other plans.

Byron told the soldiers to be vigilant, and then went around the town a few times to check for loopholes in the defense.

In order to defend the town, Byron asked the craftsmen to dismantle the ballista and install it on the fence to strengthen the defense.

All night, Roddock lit torches and hurried to work overnight.

At noon the next day, the camp was almost completed, but the other commander didn't know for what purpose they started to build fences around the town, erect horses, and even dig trenches.

And those siege weapons were built after cutting down the trees, and they were still the kind of stuff that might not be completed in a few weeks.

Byron felt puzzled, and Fattis felt that there was something tricky in it.

Don’t talk about anything else, because the Rhodoks are engaged in endless construction, and many soldiers on the fence are slack...
