Chapter 252: Eastern Noble Alliance
In October, just after the autumn harvest, when most of the people were celebrating the harvest and enjoying the rare joy, a major event occurred at Aoba Fortress.
As Yelon's methods became more and more ferocious, and the suppression of the nobles became more and more ferocious, the nobles in Nugget City and the surrounding areas basically fled to Aoba Fortress and formed a powerful alliance of nobles.
Even the Mossa family never expected that their family's actions in order to deal with Taoyuan Town would actually bring ruin to the Mossa family, and with the huge expansion of the noble army, the Mossa family could no longer stand in the dominant position, and the power was slowly replaced by other nobles with stronger troops.
The Mossa family became dissatisfied with the other nobles and clashed with the other nobles, but this conflict became more and more intense, and it became a large-scale fight.
After 42 years of fighting, the leader of the aristocratic rebellion was finally determined, and the Mossa family was slaughtered, and the territory of the Mossa family was replaced by new nobles.
Compared to the previous Mossa family, the newly-born aristocratic coalition was more murderous and direct, and began to loot the people around the Aoba Fortress, killing a large number of people in the surrounding cities.
In order to avoid pursuit, a large number of fugitives flocked to Taoyuan Town, and George had no choice but to expand Taoyuan Village and Bixia Fortress, and built Bixia Fortress into a large fortress.
The scale of Taoyuan Town has also expanded several times, and George has established Limu Town and Panshi Town around Taoyuan Town on the basis of Taoyuan Town.
A large number of people settled around the fortress, and George's forces were greatly increased, and George trained his soldiers harshly, and the army quickly grew into an elite army.
On the one hand, the aristocratic coalition began to form an army against Yelon in Nuggets, and on the other hand, they organized a large number of raiding troops.
The wealthy Taoyuan Town has become the target of the aristocratic coalition, and the residents of Taoyuan Town are very wealthy, with luxurious houses, and they can eat meat every time!
The aristocratic coalition sent 20,000 men to attack the Bixia Fortress.
Although Bixia Fortress has a bit of a reputation, the aristocratic coalition doesn't care, isn't it just a fortress made by a bunch of mud legs?
But when 20,000 people arrived at Bixia Fortress, everyone was dumbfounded, the location of His Majesty's fortress was on a dangerous high ground, it was extremely difficult to attack, and the general defending the city was obviously an experienced general, and the layout on the head of the city was extremely exquisite, which made these noble coalition troops prohibitive...
"Head, shall we fight?"
"Well,,, maybe those mud legs are just putting on a show,,, others aren't very good, are they?"
"I don't know, ,,,I didn't know, I was just a housekeeper before, I didn't know anything about military affairs... ”
"Hmph! How can you know the strength of the other party if you don't try, give the order, let 5,000 people attack, and try the depth of those mud legs!"
5,000 wolf-like soldiers roared and rushed forward...
George looked at the chaotic military appearance under the city,,, and laughed in his heart! The nobles of the northern kingdom have not grown at all in these years, and they are not as good as those nobles many years ago...
With a wave of his hand, the archers at the head of the city began to shoot arrows, and the rows of soldiers in the city fell to the ground with arrows.
Of the 5,000 soldiers, only 3,000 reached the city.
3,000 men climbed up to the top of the city with ladders and began to climb.
The soldiers at the top of the city stabbed at the soldiers who climbed up below with their spears in groups.
Hardly any soldier made it to the top of the city alive...
George watched as the aristocratic coalition sent two groups of charging troops from the neighborhood, and motioned to Tina, asking her to prepare to lead the cavalry to charge.
The second group of attacking troops of the aristocratic coalition had 10,000 men, and when they rushed to the city, there were still 7,000 people, and like the soldiers before them, basically no one could break through the pikes at the head of the city.
The noble coalition under the city was a little anxious, and suddenly saw the city gate being opened, and a general with a black helmet rushed out with a group of cavalry...
"Head, we still have 10,000 people,,, are you rushing over and killing them?"
"Hmph! I think the other party is confused, if we stay in the city and don't come out, we have no choice, what are we afraid of rushing out now!
Tina led the cavalry into the noble army, and George led 3,000 pikemen, following in the whole formation...
The aristocratic coalition didn't expect the cavalry on the opposite side to be so fierce! Especially the leading general, after the spear in his hand danced, there were almost no living people around!
When Tina saw the leader of the opposing team, Pegasus rushed over and stabbed the leader to death with a spear.
The army of nobles collapsed in an instant, and more than 10,000 people scattered and fled.
George didn't let people chase after him, and gathered the troops to clean up the battlefield.
Through this battle, George's cavalry grew to 2,000 men, George trained 1,000 archers, and the remaining 1,000 were spear light horsemen, responsible for scouting.
George trained 5,000 pikemen, 3,000 hoplites, 5,000 reservists, and 2,000 longbowmen.
After the 10,000 troops of the aristocratic coalition fled back, everyone was often surprised, why couldn't the 20,000 troops even move a single Bixia fortress?
The aristocratic coalition army consolidated its troops and transferred back the 40,000 elite troops used against Yelon, led by a well-known general among the nobles, and prepared to attack the fortress of Bixia.
In fact, as early as when the aristocratic army was assembling a large army, the spies in Yelon's hands learned about the situation of the aristocratic coalition army, and even found out about the fiasco of the aristocratic army in Bixia Fortress.
The more Yelon looked, the more he felt that there was a problem, with only the meager troops in his hands, he was able to defeat the noble army several times, who was hiding in Bixia Fortress? What was the purpose of his stay in Bixia Fortress?
I heard that the aristocratic army has transferred all the elite troops back to attack His Majesty's fortress? If the aristocratic army fails again this time!
Then there must be a world-famous general hidden in His Majesty's fortress! Then it is necessary to visit him to see if this general can be used for himself...
Frost City also noticed the matter of Aoba Fortress, but Terina now wants these nobles to make trouble, so that she can have an excuse to kill them, but now the nobles seem to be imprisoned by some kind of force, and they are desperately shrinking their troops... This situation is somewhat unexpected by Terina... It seems necessary to take a look at where the Shadow Guard goes,,, see who is doing something weird there!
In Bixia Fortress, there are already 30 magicians trained by George, and these 30 are guarding the key positions on the city wall.
This attack of the aristocratic army is different from the past, and the people who went to Bixia Fortress this time are all elite troops... Not only are they well-armed, but some of the troops are wearing heavy steel armor, which should be the main force of the aristocratic army...
"Brother, the troops who came here this time are a little more decent. ”
"Well,,, the nobles of the northern country have a little stock,,, they can get this kind of heavy armor of the regular army!"
"Brother, our archers can't shoot through those heavy armor... ”
"It seems that this time I'm going to have a good time with each other... Tina, taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not form an encirclement, led the cavalry troops out of the city and stood by outside the city. ”
"Okay, brother, I understand, I'll take the troops out of the city immediately!"
"Skati, you lead the longbowmen to set up the city defenses. ”
"Master, I'll go set up right away. ”
"Bran, you're ambushing the city with your pikemen. ”
"Master, understood! I'll arrange it right away!"
The aristocratic general Chamdahn is the leading general of the previous Snow Country, and has participated in many major battles, this time Chamdahn is still very interested in Bixia Fortress, how does this not majestic fortress block the army's attacks again and again? What a strange thing...
When the army reached the city, Thamdarn was a little surprised, the city didn't seem to be very tightly arranged, but there were some archers... There are no giant crossbows, catapults,,, such a fortress can't be attacked?
"Order! Dispatch the ladders! Send out the heavy infantry, the longbowmen cover in the rear!Begin the siege!"
10,000 heavy infantry began to attack the city, although the city shot a dense rain of arrows, but the arrows could not break through the defense of the heavy infantry, seeing that the noble army was about to attack the city, George released a signal, and all the defensive troops on the city retreated.
Without the harassment of the longbowmen, the noble infantry regiment quickly rushed down the city and into the city.
After the army entered the city, it was found that there were many pikemen in ambush in the city, and after the narrow strip, the noble army could not be deployed, and gradually fell into a passive situation.
Seeing his army tangled with the opposing infantry, George sent a new signal.
When Tina saw the signal, she led the cavalry to attack the archers of the noble army.
Shocked by this, Thamdaan hurriedly ordered the heavily armored troops in the city to withdraw. However, the hoplites in the city and George's army were fighting, and it was difficult to withdraw immediately.
Tsamdahn had no choice but to sacrifice 20,000 infantry to engage the opposing cavalry in order to save the longbowmen and other ranged troops, and sent his only 2,000 troops to attack the opponent's cavalry.
The cavalry led by Tina was extremely brave, and after being caught off guard by the noble army, they began to charge repeatedly in the noble army, and almost no one could stop Tina.
Seeing that the heavy armoured legions in the city had finally withdrawn, Thamdarn hurriedly commanded the heavy armoured legions to form an army formation and surround Tina's cavalry.
Tina saw the hoplites in the city withdraw, and roared loudly, and all the cavalry followed her horse away.
Tzamdahn almost crooked his nose, why is the situation?
"How can this be reasonable! Cavalry! Dispatch cavalry, most of the opponents are light cavalry, no armor, rush up and kill them all!"
If Chamdahn could calm down and take steps step by step, maybe George would not have a choice, but now Chamdahn has been out of order, and there are frequent errors in command.
Seeing the pursuers behind her, Tina snorted coldly, and commanded the troops to start a counterattack, shooting with a bow at a distance and throwing spears at a distance, but if the noble army wanted to fight closely, Tina led the army to withdraw.
The 2,000 cavalry of the noble army was gradually slaughtered by Tina, and only a few dozen people escaped.
Tina smiled and commanded the troops to turn around and continue to kill in the direction of the noble army.
As soon as Tzamdaan gathered his troops and re-arranged them in attack formation, the only few dozen remaining cavalry pursuers ran back and reported loudly:
"Oh no! Oh no! General, the cavalry is all gone!"
The muscles on Thamdahn's face twitched a few times, in fact, he had already reported to his subordinates, and the smoke and dust billowing in the distance showed that the other party's cavalry had returned...
How can this be reasonable? The other side's methods are too reckless, why is it not a frontal attack by the army, but this kind of shameless harassment!
"Heavy infantry defends, longbowmen shoot the opposing cavalry in the rear!"
Tina harassed for a while, and found that the noble army had formed a defensive formation, and led the army to retreat...
Chamdahn felt that his situation was very awkward at this time, and he would definitely not be able to retreat, but he would not be able to organize an attack,,, he could not advance, and he would not be able to retreat.
"Quartermaster, how much rations did we bring?"
"General, our military rations can only last 10!"
Thamdaun returned to his tent,,, damn it! If he couldn't think of a way, he would be trapped here!
At night, the cold wind in the camp made the soldiers feel cold, and they huddled together to keep warm, and the soldiers in charge of guarding also hoped that their duty time would end early.
George led the longbow troops to slowly approach the camp of the noble army under the cover of darkness...
George drew his bow and shot in a dashing manner, and the sentry fell in response.
In the darkness, the sound of the bowstring is crisp, and soldiers are constantly falling to the ground...
George led the people to slowly touch the big tent where the grain was stored, and set fire to it around the big tent...
Tzamdarn suddenly asked, a very sweet taste... Hmm? This is not a good ???! The granary is attacked! Quick! The whole army is reorganized! Defend and defend!
When Tzamdarn looked at the burned granary, fear began to appear in his heart, he had never encountered such a strange opponent in all his years in the army!
"General, what are we going to do? There is no food in stock... ”
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Before the second morning, Thamdaan led the army to withdraw, and most of the supplies were hastily withdrawn without packing up.
George found a large amount of armor and weapons in the camp of Tsamdarn, and before he was worried about the lack of longbows and feathered arrows, now the noble army had brought him so much... That's so gracious!
After Thamdarn returned to Aoba Fortress, he began to trumpet the strength of Bixia Fortress.
"Ladies and gentlemen,,, don't you know, I experienced a bloody battle in Bixia Fortress,,, Bixia Fortress has 100,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 100,000 archers, I have preserved my strength after a bloody battle, and brought back 30,000 troops... ”
"How could it be that Bixia Fortress didn't even have 10,000 troops before?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't lie to you,,, we were ambushed at night, and tens of thousands of infantry sneaked up... THAT SCENE ... ”
"Alright, Thamdarn, you go down and rest first, and we'll discuss what to do... Go down ... ”
A kind of aristocracy gathered in the council hall in silence...
After a while,,, a nobleman said, "Thamdaun is lying! There are so many troops, the queen will not allow such a force to exist... We have so many nobles to form a coalition of about 100,000 people this time... ”
"If Tzamdaun is lying, then why are his troops so terrified... It must have been a terrible encounter in Bixia City!"
"There is still the plague god Yelon of the Crescent Moon Country in Nugget City, we can't lose the elite, since Bixia Fortress has no hostility towards us, then we can only let them go!
"That's right, let's hurry up and gather our strength now, and send that plague god away from Yeron first!"
Since the defeat of the elite army of nobles, the popularity of Bixia Fortress has become even higher,,, a large number of nobles and commoners flocked to Bixia Fortress, just a few months later, Bixia Fortress expanded again, and finally became a large city in the east, and under George's governance, it became gradually stronger...
