Throne of the North

The war has reached this level, whether it is Tieshan County or Yinchuan County, it has reached the point where it is difficult to withdraw smoothly.

They are just like the investors that Ryan has seen who keep adding to their positions. They have been firmly trapped by the war. The failure of the war will cause their losses to be unimaginable. Only the victory of the war can allow them to make up for their losses.

This is true for both parties, so it is naturally difficult to withdraw at will.

Except for outsiders who have nothing to do with this war.

At least until the troops from the two counties appear in Lingdu County, they will not have much to do with Lingdu County.

In the end, Tieshan County had to agree to Ryan's conditions.

"So how on earth can you win the war?"

…

Two more days have passed, and the nobles on either side are losing their composure. The armies of Viscount Hogg and Hector are all being consumed, and their food supplies are even bigger. If they don't break the castle, their losses will be too. Huge.

This is especially true in Tieshan County. Every day's siege battles make them tremble with fear.

"We must rush in tomorrow, and I will send two hundred knights with us!"

Viscount Hogg gritted his teeth. At the last moment, he couldn't help but increase his position. He asked his cavalry to dismount and fight, and threw them into the meat grinder.

"We will definitely win tomorrow."

Next to him, Hector also had a gloomy look. His losses in just two or three days exceeded all previous wars.

With the arrival of a new day, the soldiers on both sides lost their initial enthusiasm, and their eyes were full of fear of death and war.

Only a small number of fanatics who pursued the glory of knights were still passionate. The surging army once again rushed in front of the Viscount Castle. There was no passage to the city gate and it was already soaked in blood.

As the two sides collided again with blood, Ryan had already led a group of powerful knights to stand high in the castle, each holding one or two black barrels.

"Ryan, this is all the oil in my castle."

"And, can you really guarantee that my farmland will not be burned down?"

Viscount Walter looked at Ryan with a pale face. Even at this moment, he was constantly convincing himself, otherwise he was really afraid that he would stop Ryan in an instant.

"No, maybe even you will thank me."

Ryan spoke calmly, then picked up the small oil drum in his hand and threw it forward with all his strength.

"Throw them all to me!"

Ryan picked up another oil barrel and handed it to the noble Viscount Golden Knight next to him.

"Lord Viscount, would you like to come too?"

Bang!

Viscount Hogg looked at the broken barrel that fell from the sky in front of him. The smell of the dark liquid in it made him frown. The next moment, he saw Ryan on the castle in the distance from the corner of his eyes. The bow and arrow were opened, and the burning flames streaked across the sky and fell to the earth.

There is a vast plain outside Viscount Walter's castle? No, it was a field that had just been harvested. Due to the haste, too many straws and part of the grain that had not been harvested collapsed in it.

boom! ! !

At this moment, the flames ignited the earth and illuminated the sky. At the same time, there were the frightened and uncontrollable voices of the hundreds of horses behind Viscount Hogg.

"Xilulu!"

The war horses kept retreating. No matter how well they were trained, they were still wild beasts. It was their instinct to fear flames. As they watched the fire ahead continue to burn, and because of the fire spreading from the straw in the plowed fields, the eyes of these war horses were full of fear.

"Their cavalry is useless."

At the gate of the castle, the defensive soldiers suddenly withdrew from a large open space. Ryan, who was wearing mithril armor, and Viscount Walter, the golden knight, held the knight's sword in front of his left chest with both hands. Behind them, followed by hundreds of powerful The soldiers charged towards the city gate.

"Victory belongs to us!"

"Glory to the bloodline!"

Ryan and Viscount Walter shouted, and the knight's long sword cut off the barbarian's giant axe. At the same time, flames and oil barrels fell outside the castle, burning the siege vehicle that was originally resistant to stones, and the flames dripped with the oil and water. , causing the soldiers to retreat in fear. As they retreated, the soldiers led by the two nobles had completely occupied the city gate.

Ryan still overestimated the flammability of cooking oil at this time. The outside world was not as full of fire as he thought. However, the flames and smoke burning in hundreds of locations were enough to block Viscount Hogg's cavalry and the chaotic opponent. The morale of the army.

"kill!!!"

The huge army launched an attack on the enemy. After urging several times, Viscount Hogg in the distance finally panicked when he saw that the horses under his knights were completely messed up.

"Retreat, retreat quickly, where is the warlock? Put out the fire for me!"

"Damn Feriancino!!!"

At this moment, Viscount Hogg finally thought again of his offering to master the magic of the earth. If the other party was there, no matter how hard these flames burned, they would not be able to stop his cavalry.

The huge battlefield became completely chaotic under the blazing fire. The warlocks were still releasing spells, but they were warlocks, not real mages, and their means to extinguish the fire were even more scarce.

By the time most of the flames on the battlefield were extinguished, Viscount Hogg's army had been completely defeated. I don't know if the cavalry would have won if they charged at this time, but I, the seed of the future extraordinary legion, would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Just as Viscount Hogg said, there is no absolute life and death in this war. Whoever's army can't bear the pressure of a large number of deaths first will fail. These ordinary slave armies have already reached their limits in the battles of several days. Today's fire has burned all their courage.

"Viscount Hogg, surrender!"

Ryan shouted loudly.

"Your army does not belong to you alone. The nobles of Yinchuan County can't bear such losses. Similarly, you can't bear it either."

Ryan's words finally brought Viscount Hogg back to reality.

Indeed, this is a war between two counties. Their mutual armies are drawn from serfs. They are already the majority of young and strong people left in the territory. Between the barons and viscounts, you contribute a little and I contribute a little, and gather the serfs in everyone's territory to form an army.

They do not completely belong to a noble family. Just like the complaints in Tieshan County today, the nobles in Yinchuan County can't bear the huge losses.

Viscount Hogg looked at Ryan.

"Maybe, we should talk."
