Rise In Calradia

"Get out of the way, don't force us to do it!"

The Swadia sergeant who led the team was holding a sword and shield, followed by more than a hundred Swadia light infantry and infantry who were about to rush to the city wall to support. They all held their weapons, set up their shields, and were ready The appearance of fighting. In front of them, hundreds of armed citizens have gathered on the road leading to the city wall. Although they are timid, they are crowded and full of anger, so even in the face of Swadia's regular army, their momentum is not let down.

"Get out of our city, you **** of Swadia!" The citizens yelled at Swadia's infantry as they kept approaching. The spears and machete in their hands were all leveled, as much as possible. The opponent keeps a distance and maintains a stable formation. Obviously, among them, there must be veterans who used to be Rodok to organize and command, even if their equipment is relatively inferior, but in terms of tactics and morale, these so-called mobs are completely a typical Rodok spear. force.

"Bump!" Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a stone bullet fired from outside the city accidentally smashed into the city, smashing a corner of a building near the confrontation between the two sides. The soldiers of Swadia were taken aback and looked up. The armed civilians of Rodok seemed to be inspired by their compatriots outside the city, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Get rid of these Yankees!"

With a roar of an old sergeant, hundreds of spears were erected, and under the leadership of the old man, they rushed towards the infantry in Swadia. While they were stunned, they pierced the spear into the gap between the shields, and the long machete smashed from the top of their heads, hitting the flat helmets of the infantrymen, leaving a deep dent.

"Kill all these Rhodok untouchables!" Seeing this, the Swadia officer rushed up to block the spear of the veteran, and summoned the infantry around him to block the attack of the civilians. He didn't believe that, given the number of people, their heavily armed Swadia regular infantry units would lose to these Rhodok mobs with few armors.

But he was still a step wrong. The proportion of former militias in this Rodok civilian force was too high, and their tactics were also battle-tested spear tactics. Everyone knows that the mountain people of Rhodok are extremely tough because of their living environment, but few people know that the most elite troops of Rhodok come from their city. From the citizens who voluntarily received training to protect their family business, from the former mercenaries who used to hold spears to serve lords everywhere. Their fighting spirit is far higher than that of the invaders, and their will is stronger than these Swadia occupying forces. When the sharp spear formation separated the two forces, the equipment advantage of the Swadia infantry was greatly reduced. Their chain armor is very resistant to knives, chopping, axes, and slashing, but it is difficult to protect their own safety when faced with the spear stabbing that the Rhodoks specially built to deal with the heavy stockings of Dia's troops. Only those sergeants equipped with plate armor can barely stand firm under the continuous stabbing of two layers of spears.

Swadia’s crossbowmen wanted to shoot the mob with crossbow arrows. They knew that if the opponent’s armor was not good, they would suffer heavy losses under the crossbow arrows. But after the troops on both sides were stuck between the streets, they couldn't see the situation ahead and couldn't aim at the enemy at all. They wanted to shoot condescendingly from the houses on both sides, but as soon as they entered the houses of the Rhodoks, they would be blocked by civilians and women, and some unlucky crossbowmen would even be used by civilians from behind. He was knocked unconscious or beaten to death by several people. The Rhodoks who seized their weapons would immediately run to the attic and open the windows to shoot at the Swadians below.

Swadia's infantry unit began to retreat. The infantry officer had reported the current situation to the prince, and hoped that His Royal Highness could send their heavy cavalry to go directly behind them to disperse them. But before that, another Rhodok civilian brandishing a mace and flail surrounded them from behind. These people can't beat Swadia's infantry in battle, but it is still possible to hinder them. So the occupying forces of Swadia were caught in the most embarrassing situation. There were troops available, but they were stuck in the streets of the city, unable to move. The defenders on the city wall gradually fell in the midst of the fierce attack of Jelkala's legion.

Prince Harau sent out his own cavalry unit in anger. A few of these Swadian heavy cavalry were armed with lances, most of them armed with maces and long swords. The mob's back impacted their backs. When they set off, they had already thought out the tactics. If it went well, they could use the charge to disperse the mobs and rescue the infantry troops. If it doesn't go well, their horses will be stuck in the crowd, so the cavalry will dismount and fight, even on the ground, the combat power of these heavy cavalry will be enough to reverse the battle.

But they overlooked a problem. They are not just fighting Rhodok's army. What they are facing is the cooperation of a whole Rhodok people and a large number of offensive troops. When a cavalry was crossing the street, a rope suddenly crowed on the ground, tripping the horse and hindering the advancement of the cavalry. Then the windows of the houses on both sides were opened, and all kinds of heavy objects were thrown down. They smashed the cavalry from the horse, and they were dizzy and unable to raise their heads. Another cavalry suddenly encountered a group of bulldogs when charging. A local nobleman who likes to hunt sacrificed all his hounds, and used them to bite the unprotected legs of the war horses. The horse bit on, causing the other horses to slow down. Although all these loyal hounds were trampled to death by war horses or killed by horsemen, they bought time. A private nobleman rushed up with a halberd, and cooperated with a group of citizens with hook sickles. They succeeded. In the narrow street, several cavalry were dragged off their horses, and the entire cavalry unit was forced to dismount in close combat.

As for the other cavalry units, they were also somewhat hindered by the Veruga people. Some citizens blocked the streets and blocked the front lines of the cavalry, while others threw objects from upstairs to hit the heads of heavy cavalry. Many of them have paid the price of their lives, but these heavy cavalry of Swadia, because of their actions, were unable to attack the army of Rhodok armed soldiers in time and lost their fighters. When the cavalry arrived one after another, there was already a wall of spears lined up waiting for them, and Prince Harau's plan was completely defeated.

In desperation, the prince could only curse the unsuccessful soldier while blaming the late Baron Byron. He called Konis, intending to give up the city and find a way to break through. Otherwise, the city will fall and he will be taken prisoner, and the Rhodoks will threaten his father for years with his safety, and his reputation will be wiped out.

Under the double attack inside and outside the city, it is only a matter of time before the city changes hands. Rodok's army stepped up the offensive, and they climbed to the top of the city with cheers and planted the king's flag. But before they were cheering, from this height, they saw a vision on the plain in the distance.

There, a flag painted with a peony pattern was waving in the wind.
