Throne of the North
Chapter 195 The Final War (IV)
Ryan actually couldn't command this army of tens of thousands of people. After more than ten days of running-in, he knew very well that he, who had never had such experience, could not turn tens of thousands of troops into a powerful fighting force.
But he could command a small number of troops, which was enough.
Knights, a small number of soldiers, and decisions on the general direction were the truth of this war that was completely different from other nobles.
He asked the soldiers to fight on the bridge. The frontal fight was to see who was stronger. This had nothing to do with command, but with knights.
He asked the remaining soldiers to line up in full force to deal a blow to the morale of the opponent. Strictly speaking, this was a strategy and had nothing to do with command.
Similarly, at this moment, the front army of the army, which was thousands of meters away from the battlefield, crossed the Leiyin Gorge and prepared to attack the soldiers of Earl Weiss from both sides. This was also a strategy that accounted for more.
"When two meet on a narrow road, the brave will win."
Ryan looked at the tragic battlefield of ten bridges and ordered the magicians to open three more stone bridges.
"I can't do it."
The magicians cried, their magic power was exhausted. You have to know that the ten stone bridges are not simple stone bridges, they are maintained by magic power. Otherwise, with so many soldiers, so many knights and barbarians fighting on them, the stone bridges would have been cut off by the huge force if they were ordinary.
Until now, the stone bridges are intact. The barbarians' giant axes can only burst out some broken stones when they fall on them. The magic power required to build such stone bridges is not simple.
"Forget it."
Ryan didn't care. He wanted to build a few more stone bridges to drag more of Earl Weiss's soldiers to fight on the bridges, because according to the time, the army behind was about to arrive, and they might be under a lot of pressure.
The main reason was that Ryan didn't know there would be so many soldiers wearing animal skins like savages before he saw Earl Weiss's army. They were very strong.
Boom! ! !
Across the Leiyin Gorge, Count Weiss and his men suddenly looked back. They didn't know when a large army appeared behind them. The banners in the army were obviously not reinforcements from him or the nobles of Leiyun County.
But the enemy on the opposite side!
"Damn it, they came around!"
What is the role of the front army? They have all the tools of the army in their hands. Their role is to open the way. They open the way when they encounter mountains, build bridges when they encounter water, and when they encounter terrain like Leiyin Gorge, they also climb down little by little, clear the weeds, and deal with the beasts or insects and snakes in it, so as to clear a way for the army to climb down from this side and climb up from the other side.
At this moment, Ryan's sudden idea of a surprise army finally became the last straw that overwhelmed the morale of Count Weiss's army.
In addition to the barbarians, there are more soldiers of Count Weiss, those warriors wearing animal skins.
Tens of thousands of people, almost all of them are these warriors, so Ryan is guessing where the regular troops in Count Weiss's territory have gone.
But it is not difficult to guess.
...
Near the Twilight Territory, the earth rumbled and shook, and there were iron hooves trampling, followed by thousands of soldiers killing towards the logistics camp.
Harrington watched the army coming from afar, and a large number of cavalry were approaching them.
There was no flag of Viscount Hogg, but he was sure that the cavalry came from Viscount Hogg.
"Even now, Viscount Hogg has not given up on Earl Weiss?"
Harrington was a little surprised. He didn't understand why, but he understood one thing.
His eyes were full of loyalty and awe for Ryan.
"Master Ryan is right. After withdrawing to Thundercloud County, Earl Weiss will definitely leave an army to destroy food and grass, but the number is so large."
But Harrington didn't care. Everything was within Master Ryan's calculations. Although Viscount Hogg was an accident, this war would never be a protracted war, so it was no big deal if the food was burned.
What's more...
There is not much food here.
Harrington was a little excited. It was the first time for him to do such a thing. They had been secretly transporting food out these days. Even the slaves outside Lingdu County didn't understand where he sent the food.
"Let them in and let them add fuel to the fire."
Viscount Hogg looked at the camp in front of him, his eyes full of gloom and struggle.
Count Weiss colluded with the Church, and he should have changed his position immediately and become the enemy of Count Weiss.
But...
"Centaur potion."
Viscount Hogg grabbed the reins tightly. No matter what the result was, as long as he completed this task, he would be able to get the magic potion for promotion to Sky Knight. Although he had not reached that step yet, it would be the most uncomfortable if he really reached that step but had no resources.
He believed in his talent, otherwise he would not be valued by the royal family and married a royal woman.
"Done!"
Viscount Hogg believed that he was a humble person. He was good at learning from others' strengths, so when he was defeated by Ryan with fire in Tieshan County before, he also felt the advantages brought by fire in several subsequent wars.
"Charge!"
Viscount Hogg did not charge directly into the camp, but led the cavalry to attack from the side. As for the frontal attack, of course it was left to the soldiers under Count Weiss.
He was worried about some traps.
In fact, there were indeed traps, but they were not outside or on the edge of the camp. The cavalry and infantry rushed into the camp, and the torches with kerosene instantly ignited all the tents. The burning speed was so fast that Viscount Hogg was a little shocked.
His torch was thrown far away, but it spread to his vicinity in a few seconds, causing the warhorse to dare not move forward.
"How could it be so easy?"
Viscount Hogg turned his horse's head and went to the other side where it had not spread yet. The knight's long sword tore open the tent.
"No?"
"How could there be no?"
"My Lord Viscount, those grain carts are all full of hay."
Hay? How could it be hay? Where did they get so much hay?
Viscount Hogg roared in shock, he didn't see any food at all.
Then his face became extremely ugly.
"Damn it, Ryan knows what I'm going to do!"
Viscount Hogg didn't hesitate at all. This was handed over to the soldiers under Count Weiss, and he was going back now.
In any case, several food and grass camps near Weiguang County must be burned, and then he will go to Earl Weiss to get the Centaur potion and other magic potion resources, and then hurry back to Yinchuan County.
He already felt that Earl Weiss could not win. That Ryan was simply a devil, and he knew everything they were going to do.
"Anyway, I have done everything I should do. As for whether there is any here... No, there is, I have burned all their food. An army of tens of thousands of people will starve to death in a few days at most."
"Yes, that's it, I'm going to get what belongs to me."
On the other side of the camp, Harrington looked at Viscount Hogg's cavalry going away, and couldn't help but envy them. The mobility of the cavalry is good. As long as they carry a little food, they can go wherever they want, and no one can stop them.
"But we will have it soon."
Taking a deep breath, when the fire in the camp was almost extinguished by itself, Harrington drew out the knight's sword.
"Soldiers! Glory belongs to Ryan, kill him!"
