Lord of Riders

Chapter 281: Strong offensive

The army of the poison spear tribal alliance and the army of another small country called Eriksson launched a fierce attack on Aaron.

These two countries are small countries, and the populations of these countries are much smaller than those of Calradia. However, almost all the men of the Poison Spear Tribal Alliance are warriors. They live in the jungle and have been in a harsh environment since birth. Survive in the environment. Of course, in the end they were still defeated by the powerful attack of the Anglo-Saxon Empire.

Eriksson is a country on another small island. This country has a total population of only 400,000 people, but they still sent 50,000 people to participate in this war. Those in power, that is, their king, were originally puppets supported by the Ansa Empire, so this little king naturally did not dare not execute the orders of the Ansa Empire.

In addition, Dunn also asked Queen Sasha to use a small method. The army sent can be exchanged for villages with a population and army. These villages were allocated from the Ansa Empire to the king of the Eriksson Kingdom.

The idiot king selected by the Anglo-Saxon Empire naturally thought it was a big bargain, and proactively handed over his soldiers to Dunn.

In fact, this is just a tactic used by Dunn to weaken King Eriksson’s factual power. Of course, no matter how idiot the king of this country is, the combat effectiveness of this country's army is still good.

The Anza Empire updated its equipment this time.

The combination of spears and short swords is really not suitable for siege warfare. At the request of Dunn, the infantry's weapons were replaced with shields, short swords and battle axes.

In this way, when facing the crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Rodok, they can have a stronger defense in order to reduce casualties.

The soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, but they had no retreat and could only rely on the wall to resist stubbornly. It is too late to leave the city and surrender now. They didn’t run fast enough. When the first few hundred soldiers escaped, they were still undetected. But when the number of escaped soldiers reached two to three thousand, King Griffith issued an order, as long as there was an intention to flee. Yes, anyone around him can kill him on the spot, and then go to the king to collect the money.

In this way, no one dared to escape casually. They were likely to die in the hands of anyone around them, as long as they acted suspiciously, they were considered to have escaped.

Of course, this also caused some bad reactions. Some soldiers who were already contradictory also took the opportunity to fight, saying that the other party wanted to escape. Although some were stopped, many soldiers died in the murder.

There are 20,000 crossbowmen in the Kingdom of Rodok, and the rest are ordinary infantry.

The crossbowmen suffered the most casualties in two days, and the Rhodok crossbowmen almost lost their casualties in just two days in the battle with the subjects of the Anglo-Saxon Empire. Then the two sides entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. The remaining 40,000 horses of the Rhodok Kingdom had almost no chance of winning under the offensive of the Ansa Empire, and the huge casualties caused the morale of the Rhodok Kingdom to completely collapse. The soldiers reluctantly fought under the supervision of the lords, but they had no effect on the battle situation at all.

Two days passed quickly, and the number of soldiers in the Rhodok Kingdom was less than 30,000.

The wounded soldiers could not be treated effectively, and they were unable to regain their combat effectiveness in a short time. Therefore, when the Ansa Empire stopped its offensive, the Rhodok Kingdom had fewer than 20,000 soldiers who could continue to fight.

King Griffith looked at the enemy camp outside the city, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart. There were less than 20,000 soldiers left, but there were more than 200,000 enemy soldiers. King Griffith didn't know how many more.

The defenders in the city are naturally not short of food. The walls are full of corpses. These corpses are enough for the soldiers to eat for a long time. At the beginning of each day, the enemy will send new food. But they simply couldn't resist so many enemy troops.

Griffith stayed up all night, and on the third day of the siege, before the sky was up, the army of the Anza Empire launched a new offensive again.

There was no one to clean up the corpses in the city. The defenders did not have the manpower and energy to clean up the corpses. Those from the Anglo-Saxon empire outside the city were even more reluctant to clean up the corpses, because they found that as more people died There is no need to erect the ladder. Step directly on the **** made up of corpses, and you can get to a place not far below the city wall. You can climb up the city wall with just one hand. But this is a risk, the enemy will chop off your hand at this time.

However, when the army of the Ansa Empire was besieging the Kingdom of Rodok, the army of the Kingdom of Shao Ming had already begun to move towards the area occupied by the Ansa Empire.

The troops dispatched by the Shao Ming Kingdom are still only 50,000 horses, and there are various logistical support troops with thousands of people. And all are cavalry.

However, the Shao Ming Kingdom did not launch an attack on any town. The Shao Ming Kingdom’s cavalry has not been fully equipped yet, so Shao Yu still does not want to start a head-on conflict with the enemy.

However, the main reason is that Shao Yu didn't want to launch a siege war and seize towns and villages that didn't make much sense. These are things that the enemy can recapture at any time, and with a large number of enemy troops, siege warfare is inherently more time-consuming and laborious, and the loss of force will be more serious~www.wuxiaspot.com~The strength of the Shao Ming Kingdom is not comparable to that of the Anza Empire. Therefore, Shao Yu did not intend to fight hard against the Anza Empire.

Shao Yu found that the Ansa Empire had some serious shortcomings, that is, their soldiers had to be supplied from the homeland, it was difficult to replenish the source of troops in the Rhodok Kingdom. Of course, this was mainly because the Rhodoks resisted fiercely and were sent by them. The native Ansa Empire became a slave. But this problem caused the Anglo-Saxon Empire to be unable to fight the war of attrition.

Constantly transporting troops from the sea, as an invading army, the Anglo-Saxon Empire had no advantage in the mainland of Calradia. Replenishment after the loss of troops is definitely a shortcoming.

Although these countries on the Calradia continent are not as powerful as the Anglo Empire and their populations are not as good as theirs, these countries can quickly replenish their troops after the loss of their troops. This is the transformation of population advantage into strength advantage.

However, the cost of maritime transportation in the Anza Empire was not low, and the number of soldiers transported in one trip was also large, but it still could not form an absolute military advantage in the Calradia continent.

Although so many people can completely crush any country, it is now that the Anza Empire is facing multiple countries in the Calradia continent. Although they are not all cooperative, they are still difficult to deal with.
