The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

As the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, the archers on top of the city soon joined the battle. Waves of arrows fell from the sky, covering these cannon fodder.

These cannon fodders, who didn't even have any decent armor on their bodies and carried only some simple wooden shields, suffered heavy losses immediately under the attack of arrows.

While those cannon fodders were quickly killed and injured by the enemy, there was no wave on Harlaus's face. They just took the opportunity to quickly memorize the positions of the opponent's catapults and crossbows at the top of the city, and then carry out more targeted strikes. .

In addition, they were also silently counting the number of enemy archers. After all, these archers would also be a major obstacle when they attacked the city later.

To Haraus and the others, they breathed a sigh of relief. There were only about [-] archers on the other side. Among them, there were only about [-] Nord senior archers who were more threatening. They could still cope with such a small number of elite archers. Got it.

Speaking of which, the Nordic Kingdom invested almost all its resources into infantry. Although the archers were not directly cut down like the cavalry, they were allocated very few resources, so that the archers of the Nordic Kingdom were killed in Kara. Among the countries in Dia continent, they are relatively weak. Not only are their attributes and levels inferior to the top archers of other countries, but they are also not very good in terms of equipment. The bows and arrows used were ordinary longbows of the same style as the pirates. The best armor was ordinary mail armor. Some were even equipped with cloth armor and leather armor, and a large number of them didn't even have helmets.

Therefore, most of the time, the Nord Kingdom's archers are just auxiliary troops. At most, they can only use arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation. It is really rare to come across an opportunity like this to kill the enemy. .

Under the heavy rain of arrows from the city head, most of the more than [-] cannon fodders were killed or injured before they actually touched the wall of Rudburg, leaving only more than [-] people.

Such heavy casualties made the cannon fodder no longer have the courage to move forward. They dropped the ladders one by one and turned around and ran away.

Because these cannon fodders have helped our side to detect a lot of useful information, Harlaus did not order our regular soldiers who were supervising the battle in the rear to massacre the cannon fodder that fled back. Instead, he asked those regular soldiers to take them with them. After climbing those long ladders, they also mixed with the defeated army and retreated together.

Afterwards, Harlaus selected a dozen of the best performers from the retired cannon fodder, and rewarded the young men who helped his own soldiers retreat with the ladders.

This so-called reward actually means giving some simple leather armor, cloth armor and weapons to these cannon fodders. In addition, the families of these dozen people were also released. Finally, a few people were given some black bread and broth, so that They can reunite with their families and have a good meal.

For modern people, this small favor is nothing, let alone thank these invaders for it.

But on the continent of Calradia, the war has never really stopped over the years. The people at the bottom are like duckweeds drifting with the tide, unable to control their own destiny at all. Maybe this land still belongs to the Kingdom of Nord today, but next month it will belong to the Kingdom of Swadia.

The people at the bottom who have suffered from war have never understood why the nobles are fighting all day long because of their lack of education. They just want to live as long as possible while allowing themselves and their families to eat. Full meal.

Therefore, Harlaus's simple little favor quickly won the hearts of these dozen civilians who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Nord, making them naturally regard themselves as members of the army of the Kingdom of Swadia. Some people They even began to help the invaders oppress the fellow villagers who were detained in the army.

After a slight repair, the army of the Kingdom of Swadia launched another offensive. This time the offensive was more formal than the first wave. Not only did the number of troops attack reach more than a thousand, but also Siege equipment such as siege towers, rams, and ladders were all dispatched at once, pressing towards Fort Ludde with great momentum.

The dozen or so heavy trebuchets at the rear were also firing on all cylinders, and huge boulders continued to pass over the siege army and fell towards Fort Lud.

Once they hit the city wall, these boulders would smash down a large piece of stone on the solid city wall. Some boulders that happened to fall on the top of the wall would crush a large group of city defenders into bloody pieces, and then continue After a few bounces, the soldiers guarding the city along the road were smashed to pieces.

Just as the battle under Fort Ludde became more intense, Ye Tianlong had already brought the four newcomers to the town of Odasan and handed the batch of food to Baron Saul.

Most of the food Ye Tianlong prepared for the other party was flour, and some cereals such as corn and soybeans.

After Baron Saul personally inspected it, he was very satisfied with the flour that was as white and clean as snow. The depression in his heart about this money-losing transaction finally dissipated a lot. After all, if he bought grain from other grains, even if he could After buying so much grain, the quality cannot be compared with the batch Ye Tianlong brought.

Now that he has all his troops, armor, money and food, he only needs to train his troops with all his strength and wait for His Majesty the King's order to send troops.

But Min Shuisheng, who wanted to find a good show, went out for a tour, but soon came back with a dark face. It seemed that the honor of the young ladies in Odasang Town could not make this newcomer satisfy.

This is normal. The population of Odasan Town is only more than [-]. Naturally, the people who can do that kind of business here cannot be some stunning beauties.

Speaking of which, after Ye Tianlong took away hundreds of people from the small town of Odasang, it now looks increasingly desolate and declining.

But Baron Sol turned a blind eye to this, obviously he wanted to use a battle to advance himself to a higher level. The risk of this stud-like approach is really high. If it fails, Baron Saul may not even be able to keep his current baronetcy.

However, Ye Tianlong was not the other party's real subordinate, so he did not continue to persuade him. He just sold a batch of various groceries brought with the grain transport team and returned to the camp with everyone.

Traveling lightly this time, it took everyone less than two hours to return to the camp. When Ye Tianlong and the others came back, several other team members in the camp were celebrating Guo Wenruo's successful breakthrough to the Ming Jin realm.

In this way, the first batch of team members summoned by Ye Tianlong have all broken through to the level of Ming Jin. However, with the same level of Ming Jin cultivation, the attributes of everyone when they broke through have different levels. People like Ye Tianlong are extremely qualified. As a genius, when he breaks through to the Ming Jin realm, his strongest strength value is already as high as forty points. And for a person with earth-level qualifications like Murong Jie, when he breaks through to the Ming Jin realm, his strength value is as high as thirty-five points. high.

Later, when people with Xuan-level qualifications like Jiang You and Zhou Jiale broke through to the Ming Jin realm, their strength value barely reached thirty points. For someone with Huang-level qualifications like Guo Wenruo, when he breaks through to the Ming Jin realm, his strength value is only about [-] points.

Regardless of the lower the threshold for people with poorer qualifications to break through to the Mingjin realm, it seems easier to break through.

But this only means that they will take some advantage in the early stage. When the warriors' cultivation level becomes more and more advanced, those warriors with relatively poor qualifications will not be as strong as talented warriors like Ye Tianlong when they break through in the early stage. If they want to continue to break through and improve their realm, they can It will get harder. For someone like Guo Wenruo who only has yellow-level qualifications, if he doesn't have any adventures, he will be trapped in the acquired realm for the rest of his life. He has reached the top of his cultivation level.

Li Rufeng was very satisfied to see that the first group of named disciples under her had successfully broken through to the realm of Ming Jin. After all, if one is not diligent enough in cultivation, even if there is sufficient supply of pills, it would be difficult to break through so quickly. To the realm of Ming Jin.

In the past few days, she had also taken the time to refine a batch of top-grade blood essence pills using the blood essence of the giant python that was nearly twenty meters long. With the help of this powerful top-grade blood essence pill, she felt that she had achieved an innate breakthrough. The success rate of the realm is at least [-]% to [-]%.

So she didn't do anything else that afternoon, but worked hard to adjust her condition to the best, preparing to take pills for a breakthrough in the evening.

For the sake of safety, Li Rufeng did not tell anyone else about this. She just secretly told Ye Tianlong during dinner in the evening, asking him to stay and protect her at night.

So that night, after everyone went offline one after another, Ye Tianlong and his master came to the opponent's tent, preparing to protect him when the opponent broke through.

Li Rufeng was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the center of the tent, wearing only a pair of shorts and a small vest. After adjusting her breathing and making sure that all the internal injuries she had suffered some time ago had been completely healed, she took the A top-quality essence and blood pill handed over by Ye Tianlong.

This top quality Essence and Blood Pill is very strange. It looks like a ruby, a bit translucent. It does not exude the smell of blood like other Essence and Blood Pills, but instead exudes a light fragrance.

After Li Rufeng took this top-quality essence and blood pill, she immediately activated her internal energy and began to refine the potency of this pill. However, even so, big beads of sweat soon broke out on her body. Zhu, the skin of his body quickly turned red due to his body temperature. Finally, the heat emitted from his body even gathered into a line of white steam above his head.

This is the reason why Li Rufeng doesn't wear too many clothes. If she wears too many clothes, she will be soaked with sweat soon. In addition, the body's insufficient heat dissipation may cause her to break through during the process. Obsessed.

Seeing his master's appearance from the side, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but sigh that the power of this top-quality essence and blood pill was really strong. If ordinary people without cultivation took it, they would probably explode and die!

And under Ye Tianlong's gaze, Li Rufeng's body actually began to continue to grow taller, and the muscle contours on the surface of the body were constantly changing and adjusting, becoming more perfect than before, allowing Li Rufeng's body to have both strength and flexibility. , this made Ye Tianlong understand that his master's breakthrough seemed to be quite smooth, because he had previously learned from Li Rufeng that when a warrior breaks through to the innate realm, he has an opportunity to reshape his body. Given the opportunity, warriors can not only make their bodies more perfect, but they can also repair hidden injuries that were difficult to detect before, and even regenerate broken limbs. And all of this can only be carried out by warriors after they have overcome the most difficult level of breakthrough.

Now that his master Li Rufeng has begun to progress to this step, it naturally means that the other party's breakthrough process should be quite smooth, and there should be no accidents next.
