Under the fierce attack of the cavalry from the flanks, Rhodok's phalanx of spears began to hold out.

Seeing that Byron threw all his troops into battle, the rest of the mercenary leaders also gave orders to attack the remaining troops, and even the reserve troops were also put into battle.

The Rhodok infantry was very strong in combat. But even so, these five or six hundred infantry and crossbowmen could not support it for long under the blows of almost two hundred cavalry and more than a thousand infantry and crossbowmen above level 3.

Inevitably cracks appeared in the formation, and the cavalry of the brigade broke through the outer lines of defense and drove straight into the interior of the phalanx, wielding their weapons to kill the crossbowmen who had retreated inside.

Still, many spearmen were able to gain their foot, constantly using their spears to thrust outwards and dismount the horsemen who ventured in.

The casualties of the cavalry had already exceeded one-fifth, and if it weren't for the fact that they were trapped in the enemy line and could only attack hard, I am afraid that these heavy cavalry would have run away long ago.

However, the baron still ordered the attack, and did not order a retreat because of the large number of casualties of these mercenaries who did not belong to his own sequence.

Byron and Alleyne understood the true power of the Rhodok phalanx, and experienced the horror of the iron turtle shell from the front.

Even if you break through the first row of spearmen, there will be a second and third row of spears waiting for you. They are strong-willed and well-trained, able to withstand a third of their losses without retreating, and are not afraid to fight when surrounded by an enemy three times their size.

On both sides and behind the spearmen, Rhodok's crossbowmen would shoot incessantly. At this distance, their heavy crossbow can shoot through the scale armor of a normal breastplate!

Few of the mercenaries who attacked in the first two rows were still alive, and the sharpness of the soldiers behind them was greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the superiority of the cavalry units on the other side, the constant back-and-forth of the horses with banners in the flank formation gave these soldiers confidence, and at least half of the soldiers would choose to retreat.

At that time, more than 1,000 people could be repulsed or even wiped out by only half of their own enemy forces.

Fortunately, the Peony mercenaries are accustomed to seeing blood in normal times, and the mixing of recruits and veterans has also increased the survival rate, coupled with Byron's reward method of being almost a loser on weekdays, these soldiers can maintain their momentum and keep charging forward.

Byron took the lead, and he let John follow him with a banner and spear, while he took a mace and struck the shield of the soldier on the opposite side.

As long as the opponent can't hold the shield steadily, those soldiers next to Byron will take the opportunity to rush over and kill them.

Byron's horse was shot in the eye, but this was not the first time he had fallen off his horse, and he mounted on the horse of another hired rider next to him and continued to attack.

Under the leadership of Byron, the morale of the Peony mercenaries was greatly boosted, and the charge became more diligent.

And under this kind of fighting at the expense of their lives, those soldiers quickly could not hold on, and the spearmen in the front row desperately blocked it, while the rest of the soldiers seized the opportunity to start retreating.

Once the formation was dispersed, even elite soldiers such as Sergeant Rhodok were vulnerable to the lances and spears of the pursuing cavalry.

After leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and hundreds of seriously wounded, the soldiers and mercenaries of Swadia finally broke through the defensive line of the Rhodok spearmen, pinning them to the ground.

However, those Rhodok soldiers who evacuated backwards, they could not do anything.

Only cavalrymen with war horses can catch up with those guys and give each other a long weapon from behind.

By the time the remaining Rhodoks re-entered the wall, their numbers had been cut in half. About 150 of them were killed or on the verge of death, and less than 100 were captured or surrendered after falling to the ground.

With 600 infantry and crossbowmen against twice as many enemies as their own, and with nearly 200 cavalry, a well-equipped force, they were able to inflict such casualties on the other side and ensure that half of them were withdrawn, they did a really good job.

"Victory is ours!"

Byron raised his blood-stained mace and shouted.

The Peony mercenaries cheered as well, and the soldiers, as usual, some stayed in front to keep guard, while the rest began to loot from corpses and captives.

The scene was thrown into chaos for a while, which startled Byron.

The danger is still there, and it is not a good time for these soldiers to be greedy.

And the baron Boar waved the flag on the other side and ordered the troops to assemble. The ramlets on the carriage were also removed, and crossbows the size of short spears were attached to the bed crossbows.

Byron knew that the Baron still wanted to attack the wall, but Byron knew that it would not succeed.

He had fully comprehended the combat performance of the Rhodok soldiers, and the field battle was still so good, let alone defending according to the wall?

Obviously, the baron's purpose was not really to take down the wall.

Combined with the large-scale build-up of Swadia's elite troops that Byron had seen when he left the barracks, Byron estimated that the mercenary forces, including himself, were nothing more than a decoy, a decoy to transfer troops from other important defense areas.

And the next deployment of the baron allowed him to confirm this.

The adult didn't seem to care about casualties, just whether the results were big enough to threaten the wider Rhodok defensive area.

Under the baron's orders, even the cavalry dismounted and prepared to attack the wall.

A small detachment of light cavalry was also sent out to reconnoiter other defensive areas

He didn't know what the kingdom wanted to do, but he wouldn't be happy with this arrangement.

In any case, he was only employed by Svadia, and there was no need to accompany all his belongings.

After all, the price offered by the kingdom was not enough for him to take the entire mercenary group.

He took Fatis and Alleyne over to ask the baron, but they only replied to him:

"Obey orders, mercenary."

Byron was a little helpless, and Kenrad also thought that such an attack was not worth the loss.

Eventually, Byron sent his infantry and crossbowmen over, leaving behind the precious cavalry and their horses, as well as the women, to take advantage of the opportunity to sweep the battlefield and carry the booty.

After a fierce and long battle, in which more than a hundred soldiers had been killed, Byron finally saw their soldiers climb the wall and occupy a small part of the line.

At this time, the scouts also brought back the news that the elite troops of Swadia had fought against the three thousand Rhodok defenders.

The mission is over, in a little

Both sides were prepared, and the Rhodoks were trying to use the wall and a small number of defenders as bait to lure Swadia to attack.

In the end, Byron heard that the damage on both sides was not small, and the defensive line around the forest had also moved back a lot.

No one took advantage of it, and the mercenaries who were used as bait were even more annoyed.
