Rise In Calradia

Chapter 205: : Forest Encirclement

   "Swadia! It's a Swadia!"

   In the continuous drizzle, a Rhodok scout with an arrow wound hit the fence of the camp with one head and fell heavily to the ground. When nearby soldiers gathered towards him, with blood on the corners of his mouth, he shouted at them with the last strength:

   "Von Byron is here!"

   The soldiers in the camp originally felt that something was wrong, but when they heard this, they took up their weapons and rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

   The officers shouted and ordered them to line up, but the terrain was steep and the forest was lush, and the square could not be lined up at all.

   And when the lumber squad mercenaries with the same appearance and accent of the Rhodok region appeared in their sight, a large group of bandits and bandits suddenly appeared on the other side of the camp and attacked their patrolling unit in the forest.

   Rodok's crossbowmen took out their own crossbows and hoped that they could use the crossbow under their protection. However, it is a pity that the humidity and fog caused by the continuous rain have long hurt the strings of these southern crossbows.

   The longbow string used by Byron’s Vicia archers is made of fiber, which is not afraid of rain. So when the Rhodok crossbowmen were desperately fiddling with the crossbow strings, these northern archers had been shooting sharp cone-headed arrows at them from behind the forest.

   As a last resort, they always like to use long-range firepower to suppress the enemy, they can only hide behind a shield, holding a military **** and a spearman to charge together.

   The strength of the Rodok Spearman who lost the cover of the army would have been weakened by more than half. What's more, because of water pollution yesterday, more than half of the soldiers had diarrhea, their combat effectiveness was severely reduced, and their morale was on the verge of collapse. In the face of those fierce mercenaries and robbers, these Rhodok's regular army was firmly suppressed by the opponent, and the line of defense was breached in just a few minutes.

   The sergeants dragged their tired bodies to stop the mercenaries, and came to buy time for other troops to break through. They haven't noticed until now that the number of troops surrounded by them is actually only half of theirs.

   But so what? There has been a mess in the camp. Many soldiers have diarrhea and have taken off their armor and lie in their tents. At this time, when an enemy attack occurs, they can only choose to surrender. And those armed soldiers also lost the fighting spirit to resist at this time, they just fled with the officers, broke through in the direction of no enemy, and left almost all of their luggage.

   But after they finally escaped down the mountain, they found that they had fallen into another trap.

   Hundreds of heavily armed heavy cavalry rushed into the line of sight, and went around from two directions, cutting off their back path. The commander of the troop can only bite the bullet and order a line of resistance, and set up a spear to resist the charge of the cavalry.

The cavalry saw the entire row of lances erected, and quickly stopped the horses, threw a lot of javelins at them, circled them a few times, and tentatively launched a charge, but they didn’t succeed and lost. Several cavalry. They chose to retreat, leaving a big gap for this force to leave.

Originally, Rodok’s commander wanted the troops to form an array and slowly leave from there, but he didn’t expect the order to retreat. His troops began to flee like crazy. The phalanx was originally built to survive. Shi was also instantly disintegrated because of the desire to survive, and the officers could not stop the spread of this chaos.

   Byron’s cavalry has been waiting for this opportunity, and the previous deliberate retreat was also to cause the opponent to rout. Now that the opportunity came, Kenra gave an order. Several hundred cavalrymen launched a charge towards the Rhodok army from behind, directly shredding the formation of the more than 1,000 troops, and a large number of Rhodok soldiers were chasing. Were captured in the middle, a few died under sabers, swords and lances.

In the end, the noble officer who commanded this unit was pierced with a lance in his chest during the battle with two Swadia heavy cavalry, and his subordinates also chose to surrender, and asked their captors to guarantee their safety. life safety.

After the battle, Byron told Kenrad that he thought it was better for the commander to die than not to die, because the performance of the Rodok army in this battle was terrible, and it was probably the Kingdom of Rodok since the death of Gruenward. For the first time, his troops were so embarrassed. If he returns home alive, whether he is redeemed or smashed out of the siege, he is destined to become a laughingstock.

   Regarding this, Ken pulled a long-lost smile and agreed with Byron.

   In this battle, Byron lost no more than 20 light infantry and 6 cavalry. The loss of horses, weapons and armor was also very small. Even the mountain bandits lost less than one-fifth after the fierce battle with the Rodoks, and the number of kills even exceeded their own losses.

   As for the results, Byron has a headache. Although a lot of crossbow and crossbow armors were seized, this unit suffered severe wear and tear after being besieged for a few months. Just repairing the weapons and armors that were still usable had to keep the entire Veluga blacksmith busy for a week. Even if it was sold, there was no buyer who could digest the supplies.

   As a last resort, Byron can only once again reward the troops and the new mountain people who joined them, rewarding them with hundreds of poorer loot, and let them take care of it by themselves.

   The problem of prisoners is even more serious. Because of the long-distance march and Byron's poisoning, the physical strength of these Rhodok soldiers has dropped sharply. Most of them chose to surrender. After the First World War, there were almost 1,200 prisoners!

  Most of these prisoners are very weak ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They need food, water, and a place to rest. Taking them with them will seriously slow down Byron's marching speed and consume a lot of supplies. In particular, the sick and wounded had to occupy the carriage where they had placed the trophies and supplies. This is also an important reason for Byron's abandonment of nearly half of the trophies.

The only thing that can give him a sigh of relief is that most of the captives are natives of Veruga. Byron can get the ransom quickly by entrusting a ransom broker. If there is something suitable, they can also join the Viscount’s army. No need. Worried about the disposal of more than a thousand prisoners.

   After all, with so many people, Veluga’s prison can't be squeezed even if it is twice as large.

  Byron took his soldiers and a large number of prisoners to rest for a day in the original position of the Roddock actor, but there was no celebration, because Kenrad worried that if the soldiers were drunk, they might release the prisoners at night, and even be taken by the prisoners.

   During the return journey, dozens of prisoners escaped in various ways, and many others were seriously poisoned. Byron ordered them to be "released on the spot" near the village along the way. This sounds nice, but everyone else knows that if there is no one to take care of them, these left prisoners will not end well in the end, especially since they are now penniless.

   But now Byron doesn't care about the life and death of these prisoners, he finally breathes a sigh of relief. He won the battle, and the north is temporarily safe, but there are still many things waiting for him to solve.
