The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

And those enemy soldiers did not dare to withdraw for a while. After all, Ye Tianlong and his more than [-] cavalry were constantly wandering around their formation and shooting arrows. Once they really retreated, Ye Tianlong would definitely lead the cavalry to charge immediately. If they were to retreat halfway, they would be overtaken and the formation would be overwhelmed.

However, even if these enemy soldiers continue to stand here to block Ye Tianlong and the others, it will be of no use. At most, they will only prolong their defeat, because the main army of Ye Tianlong's side is rapidly approaching from a distance.

The enemy soldiers, including Ye Tianlong's soldiers, had just seen how they used muskets and artillery to quickly eliminate the [-] heavily armored cavalry. They knew that once the main enemy force arrived, they would be eliminated in minutes.

So under this pressure, some enemy soldiers who were more afraid of death suddenly abandoned their armor and began to flee in all directions.

This was like an introduction, and many enemy soldiers who were hesitant at first began to flee. The few remaining enemy soldiers who wanted to continue to hold on faced those who began to flee on a large scale. The comrades-in-arms were helpless, and they would even be trapped by the flow of people and flee together.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tianlong immediately led his cavalry troops to pursue the fleeing enemy troops.

Even many of Ye Tianlong's infantrymen began to run wildly upon seeing this and joined the pursuit.

Unfortunately, the number of cavalry under Ye Tianlong's command was still too small. Even if they pursued them with all their strength, they were not able to retain all the enemy troops in the end. They probably killed more than a hundred enemy troops and captured about two hundred people. The rest were all He took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

He had previously collected a dozen or so scattered enemy troops from the battlefield. These were all high-quality horses that could be used as mounts for heavy cavalry, which would allow him to organize a dozen more cavalrymen.

After the battle, while his men were cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Tianlong went to visit his nominal boss, Baron Saul.

Baron Saul is worthy of being a fierce general. During the siege, he launched defensive counterattacks from time to time. He suffered more than a dozen injuries on his body, but he still did not take off his armor and rest. It was his presence like a god of war that allowed him to be besieged. The morale of the dozens of remnant soldiers still did not collapse, and they all followed him and stayed on the small slope, finally waiting for the arrival of Ye Tianlong's reinforcements.

And Baron Sol was not a fool, he was just straight-tempered. After thinking about it quietly, he realized that he had been betrayed by a friendly force.

This made Baron Saul grit his teeth in anger. After all, it was easy for him to pull up a team of more than [-] people! It was almost a waste of money. In the end, these soldiers were not able to die on the battlefield against the enemy, but were betrayed by their own people and died here unjustly. His plan to make great achievements and get promoted and make a fortune during this national war was completely ruined.

Ye Tianlong looked at Baron Sol, who was still so angry that he cursed from time to time during the treatment of the wound, and he vaguely guessed why in the original horse-and-blade game, there was no such fierce man in the Nord Kingdom. It was probably Because he was too straight-tempered, he was unable to defeat those scheming old nobles, and then he was deceived and died in a certain battle.

Several of Ye Tianlong's players, Baron Sol, were so angry that they even suggested with a smirk that Baron Sol would lead them to kill those guys who betrayed their comrades and refused to save them, and then push them directly to Si. The Kingdom of Wadia has recovered, but the Kingdom of Swadia did send more than a thousand elites here. It is normal for the Nord Kingdom to suffer some losses during the successful counterattack.

Not to mention, Baron Sol was really tempted by this proposal under the influence of these players.

Ye Tianlong watched all this from the side and had no intention of stopping it. After all, most of them, horse-and-blade players, are essentially rebellious officials and traitors. It is normal for them to rebel and become independent after their power develops to a certain extent. Who dares to stop them? They will kill whoever comes their way, regardless of whether you are a noble or a king!

It's just that Ye Tianlong didn't expect that these players would still like to cause trouble so much after they lost the ability to be infinitely resurrected. If they really lost their fun and were besieged and died by the nobles of the Nord Kingdom, Ye Tianlong would But he doesn't have the ability to resurrect them all.

Fortunately, although Baron Saul was angry, he still maintained basic rationality at this time. He knew that it was not wise to start a war with friendly forces without permission when the enemy army had not yet been solved. Therefore, although he was very resentful towards his colleagues who had betrayed him, , but they did not directly follow the suggestions of these players and send troops to destroy them.

However, in order to prevent those two guys from continuing to tip off the enemy in the future, Baron Saul was not going to join them. Instead, he was going to take the remaining dozens of remnant soldiers under his command and Ye Tianlong's troops to Ludburg for rescue.

At this time, the defenders of Fort Ludde were indeed about to run out of gas. This was mainly because King Naharaus continued to increase his troops and attacked Rudburg day and night in order to capture this important military town.

Under this situation, even if Count Olaf who defended the city did not make any mistakes and had been steadily resisting the enemy's attack with his soldiers, but now, neither the soldiers nor the various rolling logs used to defend the city Almost all the stones and the like were used up, and even the solid stone city wall had been smashed by the enemy's slings to create a small gap. If Olaf hadn't blocked it with hundreds of elite soldiers at that time, If so, the enemy troops would directly enter the city through that gap.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient defense supplies in the city, Olaf now even collects all the feces of the people and soldiers in the city, and then boils it and pours it into a bag of gold juice when the enemy attacks the city.

I have to say that the smell of golden juice is very disgusting, but it is really effective when used to defend the city. The price is that Rudburg has almost become a shit city, and the walls are covered with feces that exudes a pungent smell. As soon as the wind blew, it spread throughout the city.

Surrounded by this stench, although Count Olaf was very tired, he had no appetite. He barely ate half of the bread and then couldn't eat anything.

"Is there still no trace of reinforcements?" After sipping the wild vegetable soup and barely swallowing the dry bread, Olaf asked the captain of the soldiers beside him.

The soldier captain, whose face was also full of exhaustion and whose left arm was even thickly bandaged, shook his head feebly, thinking that these guys must have become abandoned, otherwise reinforcements should have arrived long ago.

But Count Olaf was not as desperate as the captain of the soldiers. He knew that the cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Svadia were very powerful. The opponent should have relied on the high mobility of the cavalry to entangle the army that came to the rescue. It seems that the reinforcements have not shown up yet, but they may have fought against the enemy's intercepting troops for several rounds. Now it depends on who can't hold on. If one of our own reinforcements can successfully break through the siege and reach the city, then he After gathering this reinforcement force, we still have the confidence to hold on for another ten days and a half.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hold on for a few more days. After all, even if he continued to recruit young men and women from the city to supplement them, the total number of defenders in Fort Ludde was only over [-], while the enemy troops outside the city were There are still nearly [-] troops. With such a disparity in strength, the other side launches attacks day and night without giving him any chance to breathe. Even the reincarnation of the God of War cannot withstand it!

After swallowing the bread, Count Olaf, who felt he had some strength in his body, slowly stood up from the ground, then carefully walked to the city wall, and secretly observed the enemy's situation outside the city through the perforations on the wall.

Suddenly, Count Olaf seemed to have seen something incredible. He wiped his eyes with his hands and looked outside again.

This time he was sure that he had read correctly. There was indeed a small force belonging to their Nord Kingdom, heading towards Fort Lud.

The enemy forces outside the city apparently also discovered this, and immediately gave up the next round of siege that was about to begin, and instead gathered forces to prepare to block this enemy reinforcements.

The reinforcements finally arrived, which was naturally a good thing for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Nord trapped in Rudburg. However, in Count Olaf's opinion, the number of reinforcements was a little less, only around [-]. , some of the soldiers were obviously still injured, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.

With such a small amount of reinforcements, Count Olaf didn't think he could successfully break through the enemy's obstruction outside the city and come in to join him.

If the support army had arrived earlier, Baron Olaf might have been able to pull out an elite force to fight out of the city to meet the opponent.

But now there are only the last two hundred or so defenders left in Rudburg. Olaf is not enough to defend the city alone. How can he dare to mobilize more troops from them out of the city to receive reinforcements?

Therefore, whether we can break through the enemy's obstruction outside the city now really depends on the reinforcements outside the city.

Count Olaf tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to see clearly who was leading the support army outside the city. After a while, he finally managed to recognize that the flag held by the opponent was the newly risen Baron Saul. I heard that the other party fought bravely and often took the lead. He was highly valued by the Kingdom of Ragnar. The soldiers under his command also looked well-equipped and well-trained. I hope it won't be some look-alike who will be disintegrated after being charged by the enemy's heavy cavalry.

On the other side, after Ye Tianlong and the others found out that they had reached the place, they stopped their soldiers and began to set up a formation as before, waiting for the enemy to come to their door.

This is the helplessness of insufficient cavalry! It is difficult to take the initiative on the battlefield. If the enemy is determined to delay and refuses to fight you, Ye Tianlong will not be able to do much against the opponent.

However, the enemy army that besieged Ludburg had no intention of avoiding the battle due to its large number of troops. It quickly gathered about [-] men and was ready to take the initiative to destroy his reinforcements sent by the Kingdom of Nord. . As for the remaining one thousand troops, they were responsible for guarding the defenders in Fort Lud and preventing them from leaving the city to cause trouble.

Ye Tianlong saw that the number of enemy troops he encountered this time was larger, and there were also a large number of infantry to coordinate the attack, so he decided to use the twenty rockets he carried.

Since the effective range of these rockets was more than two thousand meters, the enemy quickly entered their range. Upon seeing this, Ye Tianlong and others quickly ignited the fuses of these rockets.
