Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 209 Ambush

Holding the lance, Ronan rushed to the front of the cavalry regiment, lowered his body, and looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer in the distance. Ronan's muscles were tense, the lance was tightly clamped under his armpit, and his legs were tightly clamped The horse under the body should avoid being taken off the horse by the reaction force after a collision.

The conical cavalry regiment stabbed fiercely into Leonard's troops, and the infantry who failed to effectively form the spear phalanx could not effectively kill and block the cavalry, and were immediately dispersed.

Ronan threw away the lance that had pierced two enemy soldiers, untied the halberd behind his back, and swung left and right. Soon, Leonard's troops were confronted by the cavalry led by Ronan. Ronan also thought about going directly to the carriage in the middle, but where the defense force was stronger, Leonard's troops Where are the elite gathered, and the carriage will block the route of the horse, it will be difficult if the speed is slowed down.

Therefore, Ronan gave up the idea of ​​destroying the enemy's supplies, but led the cavalry behind him to the edge of Leonard's troops a few times, causing some damage and then left.

The cavalry on Leonard's side didn't dare to pursue at all, because they were far smaller than the cavalry brought by Ronan. If they pursued rashly, they might be wiped out by Ronan's counterattack, and the slow-moving infantry could not help them at all.

"How could they know our route! Hurry up and send someone to investigate, and then send scouts to patrol around to find the traces of those guys.

After reorganizing, re-choose the route and reduce the speed of movement. The whole army must be vigilant. When they are prepared again, they can't pose any threat to us at all! "

The cavalry restrains the infantry, that is, when the number is superior or balanced, the cavalry can slaughter the infantry with the impact and mobility of the horse, but if the number of infantry exceeds several times and forms a spear to resist the horse, the cavalry rushes in rashly Although it can cause great damage to the infantry in the front row, it will also fall into the quagmire of the infantry formation. If it loses its mobility, the cavalry will only be dragged off the horse by the infantry and hacked to death.

The cavalry spread out as scouts to guard against Ronan's possible follow-up raids. In fact, Ronan did not leave, but after seeing Leonard choose a long way and slow down to guard against him, he knew his own danger. In fact, the goal has almost been achieved, so I went back to Bornstein again the way I came from before.

Leonard was still on the road, and Ronan's small group of scouts scattered in the Bornstein Territory also had a few small frictions with the last defensive troops of the surrounding lords, but they were all battles with a maximum number of no more than a hundred people. In this kind of battle, the more elite Ronan's army was obviously stronger. After a few deflations, the lords basically stopped sending small groups of troops to try to compete with Ronan for information.

There was a stalemate here, but the battle at Sidon Fortress became more intense. Leon built a batch of improved siege ladders that were stronger and more than last time and went into battle. He also made a large number of trebuchets and sent A large number of people mined a large number of stones from the mountains on both sides as bullets.

Because of the narrow area in front of the Sidon Fortress, Leon organized his troops into four divisions, led by four generals, who took turns to harass and attack day and night, only fighting for a while each time. Take it down.

Then the other troops who had rested came forward to attack, and occasionally there was a real siege.

As a result, the number of troops has dropped sharply, and part of the defensive equipment has been destroyed by the covering shooting of a large number of catapults from the Leon Army. Their physical strength and mental will have been exhausted after so many partial shifts.

If it lasts for such a period of time, perhaps the Sidon Fortress will soon be broken through by a sudden full-scale attack by Leon.

And even when he was resting, Leon would let the soldiers throw stones at the Sidon Fortress sparsely, and throw them as high as possible, trying to let the stones fall over the city wall and fall into the camp behind, so as to cause additional damage and interfere with the defenders. Army rest.

Hebrew's tired hair seems to be a few gray these days, and his already melancholy face looks even more melancholy now. Although he is confident that he can hold on for a long time under such circumstances, he can't stand it anymore. Really tired.

On the other side, the Bornstein leader, who was stationed with Leonard's reinforcements, began to send troops to try to regain the territory occupied by Ronan, and Ronan had no intention of fighting, and basically retreated all the way before contact, destroying things After destroying everything and leaving a mess for them, they retreated to the edge of the Marquis.

Bornstein's troops approached Ronan as soon as they left, and retreated as soon as Ronan wanted to fight back, in order to prevent Leonard from leaving easily. Although Leonard didn't want to fall into Ronan's rhythm like this, but under Ronan's blatant conspiracy, he couldn't think of any solution for a while, let them attack the city where Ronan retreated, and they again Some dare not, after all, Ronan's current strength on the board is no worse than their part.

On the other hand, something that made things worse for Sidon Fortress happened.

Meriuses led a group of soldiers crouching in the bushes by the roadside. Their bodies were covered with thick haystacks, and their faces were painted with oil paint. Matching their black skin and armor, they lay there and did not move. If you look closely in front of you, you can't find it at all.

A convoy slowly drove over. It was the logistics supply team of the Sidon Fortress consisting of more than 50 carriages and hundreds of soldiers. It was sponsored by the major lords in the rear and supplied to the Sidon Fortress defenders. Some military supplies such as food, arrows and weapons were provided. Part of the escort team came from Sidon Fortress, and some were the private soldiers of the lords.

Lord Ross is the biggest sponsor of this batch of supplies, and his territory is also one of the fastest and safest roads to Sidon Fortress. Ross Territory, which is located within Leonard's sphere of influence, does not border any other hostile forces, but relax Vigilance clearly comes at a cost, a lesson Meriuses and his warriors will soon be teaching them.

The carriage team slowly drove into the expected ambush location. Meriuses, who was lying on the side of the road, grabbed the spear beside him with one hand, and tightened a rope with the other hand.

As the convoy drove completely into the ambush circle, Meriuses suddenly stood up from the bushes with a roar, and the soldiers around him and on the other side of the road suddenly jumped up, and the thick rope buried in the sand on the road immediately followed the ambush The riders stood up and were pulled out of the sand, at the height of the horse's calf.
