The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

After the smoke from the explosion dissipated slightly, Ye Tianlong led a dozen guards forward to inspect the results of the previous round of bombing.

Perhaps because the enemy troops were so crowded, Ye Tianlong discovered this time that many of the enemy soldiers in the center were not dead, but were only slightly injured by the shock wave of the explosion.

The enemy commander, Teswei, didn't seem to be injured because he was wearing a thick steel plate armor.

After recovering from the dizziness caused by the explosion, the earl saw a soldier walking towards him with a rope in front of him, as if he was going to tie himself up. With his head still a little confused, he jumped from the ground. He grabbed a long sword and stabbed the opponent.

Unfortunately, as soon as he thrust out the long sword in his hand, he was slashed by another enemy soldier next to him. Not only did the long sword split into two halves, but even the tiger's mouth holding the sword was cracked, and blood flowed out for a while. The earl screamed in pain.

In addition to the Earl of Sweden, many other low-level nobles and officers of the Kingdom of Swadia were captured alive. After all, these guys wore better armor, and their chances of surviving the bombing just now were higher. higher.

Except for the Earl of Sweden, the other unlucky people who were captured did not resist much. After all, these Western nobles and officers did not think that being defeated and captured was a shameful thing. They had already done their best in this battle. They tried their best, but were defeated in the end. It can only be said that the enemy was too powerful, not that they were not brave enough in combat.

Ye Tianlong knew this very well, so he asked his men to arrest these enemy nobles and officers. When he was playing cavalry and slashing in the past, he often captured enemy nobles, and then waited for the other family to redeem them with money. . This way of making money is also one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money in riding and slashing games.

In addition to these nobles and officers, Ye Tianlong also captured more than [-] enemy soldiers this time. He felt that these enemy soldiers could be slowly transformed and finally absorbed into his own soldiers. Of course, if the Kingdom of Swadia is willing to give If these ordinary soldiers also pay a ransom, Ye Tianlong would not mind letting these guys go back to make more money.

And just when Ye Tianlong and the others began to clean the battlefield in the enemy camp, the city gate of Rudburg not far away finally slowly opened, and a group of soldiers with broken armor and tired faces were standing in front of Count Olaf. led him out of the castle slowly.

This is not to blame Count Olaf and others for their slow action. It is really because the city gate of Rudburg has been blocked by Count Olaf with a lot of gravel and soil. This can prevent the enemy from entering the city. The gate invaded the city.

However, this makes it inconvenient for them to leave the city. They need to dig out the gravel and soil blocking the door first.

When Ye Tianlong and Baron Saul saw the defenders coming out of the city, they all left the camp to greet them. Being able to hold on for more than half a month under the fierce attack of the Swadia Kingdom's army, these defenders are indeed worthy of their respect.

What Ye Tianlong and Baron Sol didn't know was that Baron Olaf was even more surprised at this time. You must know that he was originally worried that there would be so few reinforcements and he would not be able to break through the enemy's interception outside the city and join them in the city. !

But I didn't expect that this reinforcement force, which only consisted of a few hundred people, actually killed all three thousand enemy troops outside the city. Even the noble lords of the enemy were captured alive without a chance to escape. This was definitely a rare victory for the Kingdom of Nord!

And while Ye Tianlong and Baron Thor entertained Baron Olaf who came to the camp, on the main battlefield of the two countries, King Ragnar looked at the sun that was about to set again, and his mood became more and more irritable. , because two days ago, Baron Saul's contact with him was suddenly severed. Before, the other party would send a messenger back to report the situation to him every half a day!

Another noble lord on the side saw the restless look of His Majesty the King and comforted him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so anxious. The cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia is much stronger than our Kingdom of Nord. , the number of cavalry under Baron Saul was very small, perhaps because the return route was cut off by a group of cavalry from the Kingdom of Swadia that happened to be passing by. As a result, the messenger could not come back in time to report the situation. Baron Saul had dozens of cavalry under his command. There is an elite heavy-armed axeman here, and a small group of enemy troops can't do anything to him. Maybe he has already led his troops to Rudburg and joined Count Olaf at this time!"

"I hope so! But our Nord Kingdom's cavalry is indeed too few and too poor! After this war is over, I want to train a special reconnaissance cavalry belonging to our Nord Kingdom. It doesn't matter how strong these cavalry are. Combat power, but it must be equipped with good horses and fast enough to ensure timely communication between our various forces during the war!" King Ragnar may also know that there is no use in rushing here, so he stopped Liao paced back and forth in the camp, sat back on his throne and sighed.

Other Nord nobles in the camp also agreed with this proposal. After all, the Nord Kingdom's cavalry is really too few and too weak. Sometimes in order to make up for this shortcoming, they even have to spend high prices to hire those mercenaries. cavalry. At the same time, these nobles were also speculating in their hearts whether Baron Nasol was completely dead now.

However, after waiting for a while, the nobles of the Kingdom of Nord not only failed to wait for the news that Baron Sol had died, but instead waited until the other party successfully defeated the ambushed army of the Kingdom of Swadia and continued to move forward. News from Rudeborg.

The two viscounts who were sent to rescue Ludburg together with Baron Saul were naturally the ones who brought back the news.

These two guys had been looking for various excuses to delay the march, but at the same time they did not relax their surveillance of the situation on Baron Saul's side, so they learned in time that the other party had eliminated the ambushed Swarovski army with the help of reinforcements. Information about the Kingdom of Dia's army.

Although the support army was also under the banner of Baron Sol's family, the two viscounts felt that this support army definitely did not belong to Baron Sol. After all, the other party was just a small baron who could provide more than three hundred soldiers. It was probably scrapped together by selling iron. Where is the extra money and resources to arm another army of several hundred people?

So the two of them guessed that the support army was probably secretly sent by King Ragnar. After all, it was well known that King Ragnar always valued Thor. Only the Kingdom of Ragnar could produce such a powerful force. None of the troops in the hands of the noble lords of the Nord Kingdom were equipped with such powerful and advanced firearms.

After reading this information, the other nobles who stayed in the camp agreed with the judgment of the two viscounts, thinking that their King's acting skills were good enough! He deliberately pretended to be anxious and worried, but secretly he had already sent someone to rescue that kid Saul.

Realizing that their plan had failed, they did not dare to continue playing tricks for a while. They all stayed quietly in the camp, patiently waiting for the winner to be decided on this main battlefield.

Early the next morning, the two scout cavalry sent by Baron Thor finally rushed back to the camp and reported to King Ragnar the news of Fort Rud's successful relief from the siege. At the same time, he also told King Ragnar in detail about the series of encounters that Baron Thor experienced after he led his troops.

After King Ragnar listened to the report, he immediately guessed that this must be the fault of other veteran nobles. These guys relied on their seniority and had always rejected the new nobles. At the same time, he always obeyed and disobeyed the king's orders. But because these guys are old enough and their influence is deeply entangled in the Kingdom of Nord, he doesn't have the ability to eradicate these old guys when he first ascends the throne.

In desperation, he could only slowly cultivate his team while negotiating with these old guys.

Baron Sol is a candidate he values ​​​​very much, and he is planning to promote him in the future! But in the end, his carelessness almost caused this general to be tricked to death by those old guys.

Fortunately, Baron Sol met an overseas businessman some time ago and gave him a knighthood and a territory. The other party repaid the favor and took action in time when Baron Sol was in crisis, saving Baron Sol and dozens of his remaining soldiers. Later, he successfully annihilated the three thousand soldiers from the Kingdom of Swadia who surrounded Rudburg. The army completely resolved the crisis in Rudburg.

Since there is no need to rush to rescue Ludburg, King Ragnar can calmly deal with the enemy in front of him.

In order to break through the enemy's interception as soon as possible and go to rescue Ludburg, King Ragnar asked his army to launch several strong attacks, resulting in heavy casualties. Only more than [-] of the original army of [-] were left.

So now he deliberately pretended to be invincible and began to slowly retreat with the remaining five thousand troops, leading the enemy troops to a nearby woods.

In the woods, it is difficult for the enemy's heavy cavalry to charge forward, and more than [-]% of their combat power will be destroyed in one fell swoop. On the contrary, our own heavy infantry can exert their full combat power, as long as the opponent really Dare to chase in, he will definitely leave an unforgettable memory for these Swadians.

To be honest, King Ragnar's strategy was not very clever. Several nobles from the Kingdom of Swadia guessed the enemy's purpose just after the enemy's movement, and they all advised their king to stop as soon as he saw the enemy. , don’t continue the pursuit.

It's a pity that King Haraus has just ascended the throne and is trying to win more victories to improve his prestige and consolidate his position! In addition, he himself is also a person who loves great achievements, so Harlaus did not take the advice of his subordinates seriously at all, and insisted on continuing the pursuit with his army.

At this time, the forces of the Kingdom of Swadia even have a certain advantage! There are only more than [-] people left on the Nord Kingdom side, but there are still more than [-] people on his side! There were even more than [-] heavily armored cavalry among them. It was no wonder that King Haraus insisted on pursuing it even though he knew that there would be certain dangers in continuing the pursuit.

The armies from both sides chased and fled, and soon they came to the entrance of the woods. Naturally, the soldiers from the Nord Kingdom, led by King Ragnar, got into the woods without hesitation.
