The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Because the Kingdom of Swadia has a larger land area and more cities, Ye Tianlong plans to recruit 200,000 militiamen here to defend the city.

After these militiamen are trained and armed, he can draw out those regular soldiers for combat.

While Ye Tianlong was busy recruiting and training militiamen, Li Rufeng was leading a large army and was marching forward in the Kingdom of Weixia. In the end, it took less than a month to completely occupy the Kingdom of Weixia. .

However, because the Azure Dragon Empire attacked and destroyed two kingdoms one after another, the remaining three countries on the Calradian continent have also become vigilant. In order to resist the Azure Dragon Empire's military front, the top leaders of these three kingdoms are all on guard. Try to find ways to find those evil spirits, and want to cooperate with these evil spirits to improve the combat effectiveness of your kingdom's army.

It's a pity that those evil spirits seemed to have evaporated directly and completely disappeared.

Ye Tianlong is actually looking for those evil spirits here, but there are no clues either. Ye Tianlong guesses that those guys have probably left the game world. After all, the top executives of those evil demons have already made an agreement with the top executives of Xuan Gu Continent, and they will be there soon. After launching a general attack on Deep Blue Star, those demons no longer have to fight with Ye Tianlong bit by bit for control of such a mere virtual game world. At that time, as long as they directly defeat the real world, these virtual worlds will lose the real world. The foundation will soon self-destruct,

Whether this speculation is true can be verified as long as he continues to launch attacks on the remaining three countries.

If those evil spirits have not left yet, they will definitely come out to cause trouble again. It is impossible for Ye Tianlong to unify the Calradia continent so smoothly.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed quickly. The two new territories of the newly occupied Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Vikia have barely settled down, and on these two new territories, they have recruited and trained separately. Two hundred thousand and one hundred and fifty thousand militiamen were hired to defend the city. In addition to the 100,000 militiamen on the territory of the former Nord Kingdom, the total is 450,000 militiamen.

At the same time, the number of regular soldiers has also increased to 400,000. Ye Tianlong left 100,000 troops to cooperate with the militiamen to defend the city, and also as a reserve force. The remaining 300,000 troops were divided into two groups, each by himself. He and Luo Chenguang led them to attack the Rodok Kingdom and the Kugit Khanate respectively.

One of these two countries has a mountainous and forested area, which is not conducive to the use of cavalry, while the other is located in a grassland area and is a strong cavalry country. Therefore, Ye Tianlong specially handed over his most elite 3,000 heavy infantry and 3,000 elite archers to Luo Chenguang to attack the Kingdom of Luo Duoke.

And he himself mobilized almost all the cavalry in the country, and finally assembled an elite heavy cavalry force of 5,000 people to accompany him in the conquest of the Kugit Khanate.

During this period of time, the remaining three countries on the continent of Calradia did not sit still and waited for death. They all expanded their troops frantically. Among them, the Kingdom of Rhodok had reached as many as 300,000 troops at this time, and the Kingdom of Kugit It is 250,000. Even though the military strength of the Kingdom of Kugit is 50,000 less than that of the Kingdom of Rodok, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Kugit are all cavalry and can fully demonstrate their mobility on the prairie. Advantage.

As for the last Sultanate of Salander, located in a remote desert area, it also expanded its army to as many as 250,000.

After learning that the Qinglong Empire had sent troops again just over a month later, the top leaders of the three countries were very nervous. The Salander Sultanate, which knew the truth of the situation, only had 50,000 troops in the country, and the remaining Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses were sent out to support the Rhodok Kingdom and the Kugit Khanate.

These two countries each received about 100,000 reinforcements from the Salander Sultanate. Most of the troops sent to the Kugit Khanate were cavalry and a small number of infantry were used to help defend the city.

There were only a few cavalry sent to the Kingdom of Rhodok, and most of them were archers and infantry, which further strengthened the Kingdom's ability to defend the city.

Although the three countries have gone all out, they still have little resistance against the increasingly well-equipped Qinglong Empire army. After all, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment and the cultivation of the soldiers. Within a week, both the Rhodok Kingdom and the Kugit Khanate had lost more than half of their armies.

In desperation, the two countries could only withdraw the remaining armies to various cities to hold on.

However, those kings and nobles knew very well that even if they did this, it would only delay it for a short period of time at most, and in the end they would still be unable to avoid the destruction of their country.

Finally, after some discussion, some of the nobles were ready to surrender to the Qinglong Empire, so that the other party might be able to keep some of their property for the sake of their voluntary surrender, so that they could be peacefully wealthy for the rest of their lives.

There are still some nobles who are not willing to fail and are preparing to flee deeper into the mainland.

The direction they fled was to a valley blocked by huge rocks in the Kugit Khanate. It is said that after passing through this narrow valley, they can go deeper into the Calradian continent, but there is a more fierce nomadic empire there. At that time, the ancestors of the Kugit Khanate were beaten by the opponent and fled to the current land. In order to prevent the opponent from continuing to pursue them, the passage was completely blocked with a huge stone.

Fortunately, they were also in the process of fighting against the Qinglong Empire and figured out how to make black gunpowder, so they were able to use gunpowder to blow up the boulder. Otherwise, even if they wanted to leave, they would not be able to leave for a while. It is difficult to move this boulder.

Three days later, those nobles who were ready to surrender took the initiative to contact Ye Tianlong. To Ye Tianlong's surprise, they even included the kings of these two countries, namely King Graves of the Rhodok Kingdom and Sai of the Kugit Khanate. Add Khan. There are also hundreds of nobles, large and small.

Obviously, most nobles still don't want to become a wanderer, wandering around in unfamiliar places, but just want to save their wealth and life.

This is not to say that they are afraid of death, but that most of these nobles have a large family. If they want to escape, many of these family members will probably die on the way to escape. These nobles do not want to harm their families, so they are humiliated. chose to surrender.

Ye Tianlong simply accepted the surrender of the two kings and many nobles, and in addition to the territories and people, he also allowed these nobles to retain all their properties, so that even if these guys are not kings and nobles in the future, they can Become a rich man with no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Seeing that Ye Tianlong generously allowed them to keep all their existing properties, the kings and nobles who came to surrender finally no longer had any worries, and they all cooperated to hand over their territories and military power. At the same time, he also told Ye Tianlong that a small group of people had left through the valley passage of the Kugit Khanate.

Ye Tianlong has no time to deal with the small group of nobles who escaped. He is now eager to eliminate the last kingdom on the Calradia continent.

This kingdom is naturally the Sultanate of Nasarand, and its king is Sultan Hakim. Because this country is located in a remote desert area, few countries were willing to attack it in the past.

But this time, it can't escape the clutches of the Qinglong Empire.

In order to successfully defeat the Salander Sultanate, Ye Tianlong prepared a large number of water trucks in advance to transport clean water to ensure that his army would not suffer non-combat attrition due to lack of water.

At the same time, he also sent an envoy to persuade Nahakim Sultan to surrender, so that he would no longer have to lead his troops into the harsh desert to fight with the opponent.

It's a pity that Sultan Hakim didn't know if he thought he could withstand the Qinglong Empire's attack by relying on the harsh environment. Faced with the envoy sent by Ye Tianlong to persuade him to surrender, he remained unmoved at all. Instead, he seized the time and continued to attack. Domestic levy of troops. After all, he had previously sent troops to support the Rhodok Kingdom and the Kugit Khanate and had lost a lot of troops. Now, including those troops that had withdrawn into the country, the total strength was only about 100,000.

In the desert under the scorching sun, He Cheng led a group of hundreds of soldiers under his command, trudging through the desert on pack horses and traveling horses.

At this time, He Cheng's military rank has been promoted to second lieutenant, and he has truly entered the ranks of officers. In order to obtain this second lieutenant rank, He Cheng can be said to have exhausted a lot of his brain cells, and then finally passed that Cultural exam.

He Cheng originally thought that there was nothing more difficult in the world than this cultural exam, but then he realized that what was more difficult was marching in this desert area.

In the desert in the Salander Sultanate, the sun is blazing in the sky during the day. Even in winter, the temperature will quickly rise to more than 20 degrees. The scorching sun makes everyone feel their scalps are hot, and sweat is constantly dripping from their bodies.

And at night, the temperature will quickly drop to a few degrees below zero, so He Cheng and the others now wear short-sleeved shirts during the day and thick military coats at night.

This may be why Sultan Hakim is confident that he can use the harsh environment of the desert to push back the Azure Dragon Empire's army.

At this time, He Cheng and his hundred-man team were preparing to garrison in a nearby village.

According to the previous investigation by the cavalry, the village was probably too small, so the Salander Sultanate considered it of little value, so they transferred all the defenders inside and took away most of the young men by force. , now only a group of old, weak, women and children are left in the village.

So the superiors only sent the hundred-man team led by He Cheng to garrison here. By the way, they also had to build a military station here to maintain their own grain roads so that the grain and clean water sent from the rear could be safely transported to the front line. .

Although the cavalry responsible for the reconnaissance had told them that there were no defenders in the village and only a group of old, weak, women and children were left, He Cheng still did not dare to be careless when the troops began to approach the village. Instead, he asked his soldiers to move the vehicles at the rear. He took off all the weapons and armor on his body, and then quickly armed himself and his soldiers.
