The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

And because everyone dislikes the weak Eastern Nord Kingdom, many forces actually choose to add insult to injury. Among them, the Kingdom of Swadia also sent more than [-] troops to take the opportunity to launch an attack on Ye Tianlong's territory. In addition, there is the Kingdom of Navekia. Because Ye Tianlong killed Count Varisien before, they took the opportunity to take revenge and sent more than [-] troops to join the attack on Ye Tianlong's territory.

For a moment, Ye Tianlong's Eastern Nordic Kingdom seemed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides and would soon be destroyed.

Faced with this severe situation, Ye Tianlong did not dare to be careless and began to quickly dispatch troops. Among them, Xinshou Village was naturally his most important town, so he arranged for a thousand regular soldiers and two thousand talents for training. The new soldiers were stationed for more than a week, while Naodasang Town arranged for [-] regular soldiers and [-] new soldiers to be stationed.

Finally, in Linhai Town, Ye Tianlong arranged for more than a thousand naval forces and [-] new soldiers to be stationed there.

As a result, his three strongholds are all garrisoned by at least two thousand soldiers and horses. In addition to these soldiers, these three strongholds also have a large number of young men who can be deployed at any time to defend the city.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these young men, Ye Tianlong asked his generals to select all the young men from these three strongholds before the enemy attacked, and conduct some basic military training. The weapons and armors that arrived were half sold and half given away to the young men below. After all, there are tens of thousands of these young adults, and Ye Tianlong cannot build equipment that can equip so many young adults in a short period of time. In fact, he has been working in the small processing factory in the real world during this period. Busy building equipment for the five thousand newly recruited soldiers. They just finished building it yesterday. Then they can build equipment for those young and strong soldiers. However, if the enemy kills fast enough, they will definitely not be able to build the equipment for those young soldiers. Wan Qingzhuang was fully armed and equipped, so Ye Tianlong took out the rags he had captured before to recharge.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Tianlong found more than two thousand sets of these rags in Viscount Saul's armory, most of which Ye Tianlong had sold to the other party before! By hoarding so much equipment, it seemed that Viscount Saul was planning to continue to expand his army after the battle. As a result, Ye Tianlong was now at an advantage.

But the rags in Ye Tianlong's eyes are rare good things in the eyes of most people. After all, there are many high-end goods such as sleeveless plate armor equipped by Swadia knights!

So when Ye Tianlong took out these equipment and sold them cheaply, those wealthy households with relatively rich family funds invested in the purchases.

Most of these people are businessmen, and they have little sense of family and country. Therefore, after being forcibly moved by Ye Tianlong from the Kingdom of Swadia to his own territory, they did not resist much, but quickly adapted to the new life here.

Not to mention anything else here, Ye Tianlong's various high-end luxury goods that are not available in other places are very enjoyable for the wealthy businessmen. In addition, the officials responsible for the management of Ye Tianlong's territory are very honest, and there are no other local officials. There are many bad habits of eating and drinking, so it makes the wealthy businessmen feel comfortable doing business here.

The most important thing is that when Ye Tianlong attacked the cities where they were, the military power he displayed was too powerful.

Therefore, these wealthy businessmen felt that although the enemy was coming this time, they should not be able to capture the city of Marquis Ye Tianlong. However, just in case, most of them paid to buy a large amount of equipment thrown by the opponent and armed themselves. They have removed their caravan guards and servants, so that once the enemy forces enter the city, they will not be defenseless.

Because of the looting by these wealthy businessmen, all the thousands of sets of equipment brought out by Ye Tianlong were sold out in just one day. This made some people who were not well-off and hesitated to take action regret it.

Ye Tianlong was also a little surprised by this situation, but those wealthy businessmen did this, which also allowed him to quickly withdraw a large amount of funds from these guys. You must know that in order to quickly expand his army recently, he has spent a lot of money! He didn't know how many pieces of yellow wax stone he had sold, and he didn't have much liquidity in his hands. This time he managed to withdraw a sum of funds, which relieved his financial pressure a lot.

With these extra funds, Ye Tianlong can purchase more ammunition and food, so that he can hold on longer in the face of the enemy's siege.

Ye Tianlong felt that if these enemies launched so many armies to besiege him, they would definitely consume a lot of food and grass. As long as he could ensure the supply of food, grass and ammunition and stabilize the situation, it might not take long for the enemy troops to defeat him. Because of lack of food and grass, he retreated on his own.

While Ye Tianlong was busy preparing for various battles, the vanguard of the Kingdom of Swadia was the first to arrive.

Although it is the vanguard force, this force can be regarded as the absolute main force in the opponent's army this time.

This vanguard force was the heavy cavalry force that had beaten the coalition forces of the Nord nobles into disgrace and had no temper. There were more than two thousand people in total.

These two thousand cavalrymen have all taken animal transformation potions. After the soldiers have completely digested the potency of these potions in the previous battles, although their appearance has mutated and become more and more like beasts, their strength is Most of them have reached the standard of dark strength warriors, and some of the more powerful ones have the combat power of Huajin warriors. The war horses they sat on were all demonic war horses that had been mutated after being infected with the aura of the Demonic Abyss. Their defense, speed, and endurance far exceeded those of ordinary war horses.

This time the Kingdom of Swadia sent this elite team, and they also saw the strong desire of the demons behind the scenes to get rid of Ye Tianlong, the guardian of the virtual world.

Ye Tianlong stood on the city wall of Novice Village, observing the enemy cavalry cruising back and forth outside the city through binoculars, and his eyes became very solemn. After all, this beast-shaped heavy cavalry unit of the Kingdom of Swadia has great combat power. It's really scary. I'm afraid even if we get some low-level demons or even medium-level demons with some extraordinary power, they can definitely be regarded as the main cavalry of some countries.

Fortunately, these guys are cavalry and are not good at attacking cities. Otherwise, he would really have a headache!

At this time, these enemy cavalry were constantly cruising back and forth outside the city, deliberately testing the range of the city defense heavy artillery on the wall of Novice Village, so that when the infantry and crossbowmen arrived later, they could more easily plan an siege. Strategy.

Although he knew the opponent's purpose, Ye Tianlong could not stop firing all the time. After all, if these ferocious-looking lycanthropic cavalry were allowed to continue to approach the city without firing a single shot on his own side, those veterans would be fine, but those who were trained The morale of the recruits who have been out for more than a week will definitely be greatly affected.

So after dozens of lycanthropic cavalry entered the range of the city defense heavy artillery, Ye Tianlong waved his hand and gave the order for the gunners to fire.

Immediately, the eight [-]mm-caliber heavy artillery at the north gate of Novice Village opened fire one after another.

These urban defense heavy artillery have naturally been modified to fire explosive or high-explosive bombs. Moreover, the firing range has also been increased to about [-] meters, but Ye Tianlong deliberately waited until the enemy cavalry approached to a distance of about [-] meters before ordering the firing. This was considered a secret reserve, and he might be able to trick the opponent at the critical moment. Bundle.

Accompanied by the thunderous sound of the cannon, eight shells were fired from the muzzle of the city defense heavy artillery on the city wall like lightning, drawing an arc in the air and then falling towards the beast-turned-human cavalry.

Those lycanthrope cavalry obviously learned a lot about firearms from those demons. When the cannon sounded, they immediately began to scatter, running in different directions one by one, so that even if they If the shell hits them, the damage will be very small.

Sure enough, after the cannonball hit the ground and produced a violent explosion, Ye Tianlong did not see a few enemy cavalry within the explosion range.

When the explosion subsided, Ye Tianlong took a closer look. In the round of shelling just now, only five enemy cavalry were killed, which made Ye Tianlong feel as helpless as a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

But at least after the bombardment, the lycanthropic cavalry were frightened and retreated one after another. Next, they should go back and report on the tested enemy artillery range and the explosive power of the shells.

At the same time, the infantry and crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Swadia, who were marching, happened to collide with the army of the Kingdom of Nasinod.

Because the two sides have not signed any armistice agreement, they are still in a state of war. The armies of the two sides suddenly collided, and the soldiers on both sides immediately became nervous. They were all at war with each other, and if one did not go well, they would break out first. A firefight.

However, after some exchanges between the leading generals on both sides, they still chose not to start a war, but to wait until Ye Tianlong was killed before they could compete with each other.

In order to avoid friction between the soldiers of both sides, the two sides decided to attack different towns of Ye Tianlong respectively after discussion. Among them, the Swadia Kingdom was responsible for attacking Ye Tianlong's Novice Village, while the army of the Sirona Kingdom chose to attack Oda. Mulberry Town.

After allocating the attack targets, the armies of both sides quickly separated and began to march towards their respective targets.

Early the next morning, the rebels of the Kingdom of Sirona, who were more familiar with the routes within their own country and had a large number of civilians to help transport food and grass, arrived at their attack target earlier than the Kingdom of Swadia.

The military commander in charge of Oudasang Town is the veteran Luo Chenguang, assisted by four masters: Li Rufeng, Lin Chong, Sun An and Shi Xiu.

Compared with the high walls and thick walls of Novice Village, the small earth walls in Oudasang Town are really a bit shabby. In order to prevent those earth walls from being collapsed, Ye Tianlong did not even dare to place those [-] mm caliber weapons on the city walls. City defense heavy artillery.

Most of the [-]-mm small-caliber continuous artillery placed on the earthen walls of Odasan Town is still there, and there are also dozens of rockets. On each of the city walls, there are a total of sixteen artillery pieces arranged. The quality is really not enough, and the quantity is made up.

Upon learning of the enemy's appearance, Luo Chenguang immediately rushed to the city wall with Li Rufeng and other four masters, and carefully observed the enemy's situation through binoculars.
