Chapter 135 -- Encirclement and Reinforcement

Nord royal guards, known as the strongest infantry on the continent of Calradia, Nord is actually a very poor country, even as the top warriors, the royal guards do not have too good equipment, a simple but neat leather armor, a rough but strong Germanic helmet, a pair of thin but very light chain mail boots, a simple but sharp hand axe, plus a few light small flying axes, this is the standard equipment of a Nord royal guard!

There are no luxurious chain mail and plate mail, and no huge, heavy broad-bladed axes, but the royal guards don't care about it!

"Sturdy armor and sharp weapons do help in battle, but that's not the key to victory!" So the royal guards say!

They focus more on the training of their own martial arts!

From ancient times to the present, Nord's royal guards have been equipped with these ordinary, even slightly inferior armor and weapons, creating undefeated myths one after another!

Two hundred years ago, there was a famous battle of "800 to 100,000" on the continent of Calradia, more than 800 royal guards broke through a castle of Vecchians who claimed to be guarded by 100,000 people, although the royal guards were not zero casualties, although the 100,000 guards were only temporarily recruited farmers, but they won with a disadvantage of more than one to one hundred, and as the side of the siege, this record is not terrible, this battle, the super combat power of the Nord royal guards is vividly interpreted, it is not a classic!

The war has begun......

It is not so much that the armies of the two countries are in a stalemate, but that the remnants of Swadia are struggling to support under the siege of the Nords, and the entire army of 300,000 has entered the territory of the Nords for more than a month, and now the loss has been more than half, and Marshal Anna, who commanded the army, has long since lost the vigor of the original army, she wilted!

Originally, when the army first entered the Nord, the form was a great thing for the Swadians, the Nord army seemed to be vulnerable, after several contacts, they were hastily resisted, and then retreated in embarrassment, Marshal Anna began to swell, in her opinion, the Nords seemed to be nothing remarkable, those legends, just legends, in front of the neat Svadian army, their performance was really fragile, the Swadias won seven battles and seven victories, and the Nords were defeated!

Anna meant that the Nords were nothing remarkable, and that the army should march straight into the Nords' stronghold of Tisagos, but Niza, as the deputy marshal, had a different opinion at this time, arguing that the Nords could not be so vulnerable, and that although the Svadian army was victorious, it was not a Nord strategy.

Niza used to be the deputy captain of the cavalry of Suno City in the early years, in the years when King Haraus was in power, Svadia and Nord fought a lot, Niza knew the strength of the Nord people deeply, but after these battles, Niza did not find the figure of the Nord royal guards in the enemy's army, and even the Nord senior infantry and Nord warriors were rare, this situation is very abnormal!

But Niza didn't count, on this occasion, he was a follower, although he knew that he was very capable, but compared to him, Asona obviously believed in Anna, who had grown up with her, but Marshal Anna, who was above the top, didn't take him seriously at all, so the army of the Swadias began to drive straight into the city of Tiha!

From this moment on, the situation began to take a turn for the worse.

The stubbornness of the resistance of the defenders in Tiha was completely beyond Marshal Anna's expectations, and the cowardly soldiers seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a fierce army, brave and fearless of death, all like outlaws, and the Svadians, accustomed to fighting with the wind, were blinded!

Sheep have become wolves!

Marshal Anna did not know that the soldiers, or farmers, who had fought against him before, had received a bounty of ten dinars each from King Nord a day earlier, and then returned to the countryside, and now the enemy on the opposite side was the real Nord army!

Seeing that the suspicion in his heart became a reality, Niza suggested to Anna for the second time to withdraw the army, according to his meaning, the army should quickly retreat to the border line, with its back to the border line of his own country, which can effectively prevent being surrounded!

But Niza's words didn't work, he was just a deputy marshal, and the annoyed Anna didn't realize that the danger was coming, and gave the order to storm herself!

A fierce, or rather tragic, battle began!

Endlessly attacked the city for three days, the blood of the Swadias stained the land under the city of Tiha, in three days, more than 100,000 people were killed, and the deputy marshal Niza was also cut by a throwing axe during the siege, although the heavy armor on his body helped him remove most of the strength, but the huge impact still made him fall off the ladder, and he fell unconscious on the spot, Mathilde in order to save her husband, holding a round shield, braved the dense rain of arrows and rushed to the city, but on the way back she drove Niza back by a stray arrow in the shoulder, Fortunately, his own soldiers risked death to save the husband and wife.

A painful sense of frustration swept through Marshal Anna's body, and although she did not have Niza's advice, she still wanted to withdraw from the army, and the deputy marshal was seriously wounded, and more than half of the army was killed or wounded, and she had lost the battle.

But at this moment, she can't leave if she wants to, a large number of Nord soldiers have surrounded her from all sides in the three days of her siege, the nearest force, less than five miles away from Swadia's army, the whole army retreat, it is already an impossible goal, in the end it is also a person who has seen the world, Anna calmed down, quickly made a deployment, while sending a messenger, highlighting the encirclement and returning home to report the news, while arranging for the army to be stationed on the spot, stubbornly waiting for help!

But the Nords did not seem to be in a hurry to destroy the expeditionary force, and only symbolically blocked the messenger they sent for help, and more than twenty Swadian knights, most of them broke out of the siege and arrived in Paraven without incident.

Ai Sona learned the news of the defeat of the expeditionary force, and did not say anything for a long time, although the surface article was good, saying that it was a self-defense counterattack, but to put it bluntly, this is an invasion, a territory expansion, but looking at this form, there is a lot of meaning that stealing chickens does not make rice!

But Ai Sona is not the kind of person who gives up easily, besides, there are hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in Nord, this reality can not help her to give up, after a long silence and thinking, Ai Sona finally made up her mind, that is, to go to the Gobi Village to find Zhang Wu!

A sharp blade hidden in the snow is about to be unsheathed...... (To be continued.) )
