Rise In Calradia

Chapter 203: : It's raining outside the city and a fire inside the city

"The weather is really bad, it's probably raining again."

In Byron's camp, a mercenary squad leader looked up at the cloud-filled sky, touched his cotton robes that hadn't dried, and spit on the ground.

"Just take care of your people, and stop complaining."

At this moment, Kenrad passed by him and glared at him. The captain also shrank his neck, not daring to talk back to Kenrad, who was well-known among the mercenaries, and turned and walked into his tent.

Kenrad pushed open the door curtain of the camp and saw Byron sitting on the blanket with a map and a smile on his face.

"It's really good weather! Their crossbowmen can't make crossbows, and the infantry is exhausted. Our chance is here!"

Days of heavy rain is a disaster for the crossbow strings of the Rodok crossbow. No matter how good the crossbowman is, he cannot protect his crossbow from damage in the rain. And unlike Byron and the others along the flat road north, the northern part of Rhodok, due to the previous attack by King Haraus and the year-long war, the road lacked repairs, and it would become very muddy when it rains, even worship. Lun and the others had to slow down their progress.

However, in comparison, Rodok is obviously much worse than Byron. According to Byron’s spies, the patrol range of this Rhodoc patrol is getting smaller and smaller, but the progress is getting faster and faster. The soldiers and horses are exhausted, and many people are left behind. Now they are parked on a hill. Establish camps and raise flags to attract departing soldiers to return.

Obviously, the commander of this force has considered many issues. Being stationed on this mountain can not only attract lost soldiers back to the team with obvious targets, but also shoot them condescendingly when the enemy strikes. Especially the heavy cavalry unit that Swadia is proud of, there is no way to charge on the mountain. . Moreover, there is a river passing by the foot of this mountain, so it is very convenient to get water.

Their morale is low, the weather is very bad, and gastrointestinal diseases are still spreading in the team. The most terrible thing is that they have only been halfway there.

It's a good idea to stop and trim temporarily in this situation, but in Byron's view, this is simply a living target!

"How far is their patrol cavalry patrolling near the camp?"

Byron asked while looking at the map.

"Cavalry? They have no horses anymore. They are full of sick horses and carts that they abandoned. A few days ago, they killed the last camel horses to cook soup, otherwise they wouldn't be so slow."

Kenrad said disdainfully.

"Their patrolmen are still patrolling within ten calories around the camp, but they can only walk on their feet, so killing them is not a big problem. They can't run."

For the outcome of the battle, Kenrad seemed confident.

"Very well. Let the Assassins go down the river to get some feed at night. I think the meat of the dead horses they lost is good. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the bandits will arrive, let them attack from the west and cut the wood. The team went up the mountain from the west and rounded the cavalry back to Shannan and Shanbei. Don't let one go!"

After speaking, Byron threw aside the charcoal he had used as a pen, stood up and walked outside the tent.

He wants to take a walk outside before it rains and relax. Once the battle started and the soldiers died and the blood was bleeding all over the ground, he would not have this kind of idleness anymore.

…………

In Veluga at this time, people also reluctantly returned to their lives before the war, trying to forget the unpleasantness of this period as much as possible.

People got busy again, and the businessmen who did not go bankrupt in the looting continued to start their own business, everything seemed so peaceful.

However, a depressed mood has always been shrouded in the sky over the city like a dark cloud, and the depressed people can hardly breathe.

As the current manager of Veluga and the commander of the garrison, Eleon rarely felt the pressure.

In order to ensure the safety of the north, Byron led the army to the north. Although this incident was not particularly publicized, it is now well known in the city. They knew that the main force of the invaders had left the city, and all the forces had begun to move. The streets and alleys were filled with malicious gazes and unknowable conspiracy remarks.

The only thing that could suppress them was an intelligence loophole, that was when Byron attacked Veluga that night, the citizens and nobles were hiding at home, and most of the soldiers were killed, so no one knew about Byron’s army. How many people there are, it can only be estimated that this force will not be less than 2ooo.

They were worried that Byron had deployed a group of troops in the city, right in the Viruga barracks surrounded by the guard regiment. The security is tight there, outsiders cannot approach, and a lot of food is brought in every day, and many soldiers come out of it. If there are hundreds of heavily armed fighters in there, then they cannot guarantee their victory, so they have been patient and waiting for the opportunity.

Byron knew this very well, so before he left, he told Elaine a strategy, a strategy that had been used by historical figures in the world before Byron crossed.

Because there is a curfew at night, he can dress up the soldiers in the city after the sky is completely dark, send them out of the city, and then enter the city as a replacement force for the Peony Mercenary Corps the next morning. There is the illusion of reinforcements entering the city, confuses those unkind guys, let them rest a little bit.

Eleon was very surprised that Byron could come up with such a strategy, and admired it from the bottom of my heart. But when he was about to implement this strategy, his urge to do meritorious service stopped him.

He sat in the chair and thought about it for a while, and found that there were still some problems. Although this strategy can temporarily confuse people, if Byron comes back late, there is a risk of revealing himself. And in this way, those who are dissatisfied with them and hope to resist their rule will also converge, and it will not be so convenient to find them.

The most important thing is that if you just do this, you won't be able to show your abilities if you succeed, and you won't be able to satisfy him even if you give credit to him. This makes him really unwilling.

So in the end he changed his plan. He ordered the soldiers in the city to be organized so that they would leave with the so-called supplies for Byron during the day, and then return secretly at night.

3oo people were dispatched each time, a total of 3 times, making the citizens and nobles in the city think that most of the garrisons in the city have already left. After that, he ordered the reduction of patrol soldiers and city defense soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and reduced the food that was originally sent to the military barracks with a total of only 20 people.

In order to better confuse them, he also met with a few nobles who had always been suspected of rebelling, and asked them for military supplies. His arrogant attitude even felt too much for him, and he made himself a greedy and arrogant rogue knight.

At the same time, he added plainclothes secret whistles in the city from Rodok, bought many beggars, peddlers and even spies from the nobles in the city, and kept getting needed news from them.

The city defense forces and patrols were replaced by recruits and militias who took refuge in them, while the Peony Mercenary Corps served as mercenaries in critical positions that outsiders could not enter. Near the residence of the rebel nobles.

Under his constant temptation, the citizens of Veluga were once again awakened by the fire the night before Byron attacked.
