Chapter 069: The Beginning of the War
(The brazen uP continues to ask for recommendation votes, of course he doesn't refuse to give a reward~)
Although Su Hao's Rhodellia Mercenary Regiment is still thriving, it will take a long time to grow into a behemoth that can compete with the Virgin army, but time no longer allows Su Hao to grow in a conventional way.
A summons order was sent directly to Su Hao, ordering him to report to Elbuc Castle the next day.
It turned out that the Vigia army had started another encounter with the Nord army to which Wocheze belonged near the village of Loire, and the two sides won and lost each other, but the Vigia kingdom had been planning for a long time and was well prepared, while the Nord kingdom was hastily assembled and inferior in number to the other side, so it could only fight and retreat, and finally stuck on a large mountain called the Loire southwest of the Loire. The Vigian army directly closed the mountain and set fire to the forest, and the Nord side could only fight to the death.
In the battle, the Nord side "thousands of soldiers, united in one heart, in the face of ten times the enemy, still advance and retreat in an orderly manner, calmly respond to the battle." As for the Loire, my Nord boy, not avoiding swords and axes, not afraid of arrows and stones, with the knife in his hand, rushed into the enemy's army formation ten times! The general, Fender Iaya, pulled off five strong bows, shot three pots of arrows, and then went deep into the enemy line alone, and died on his horse, his armor broke, and he was hit by seventeen arrows and three shots, and the hilt of the bloody knife was so slippery that he could not hold it, and he still shouted to kill the thief! There are thousands of soldiers to whom it belongs, all of whom are broken! Its courage can be shocking, and its courage can cry ghosts and gods! On the day of Fender's death, it rained heavily, and the enemy chieftain Mariga honored his courage and buried him, and King Ragnar sighed for it, and posthumously presented him with the title of earl and general. ”
Note: Fender Iaya is the second son of Iaya, Lord of Woche.
After this battle, the morale of the Virgian army was even stronger, and the lord of Maliga even slashed the might of the enemy general, and the army was directed at Elbuc Castle!
Elbuk Castle is located right on the land transportation artery between the two Nordic cities of Wocheze and Sagos, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. If the Virgians occupied the fort, they would have cut off the land connection with Sagoth, and the whole Nordic territory would be divided into two parts, one large and one small! Advance, you can enter the nest car in the northwest of Fort Elbuk, retreat, or you can form a three-legged defensive posture with Fort Bruga in the northeast and Fort Gerbo in the southeast...
In general, if Elbuck Castle were to fall, the Nord would be in a state of being divided, and the eastern part of the land, with its vast lands and good ports, would be in danger of falling... The Virgians really want to occupy all the lands of the Nord East in one fell swoop!
Although Lord Iaya lost his beloved son, his decisive spirit also bought the Nord Kingdom enough time to react. After receiving a desperate letter from the cavalry sent by Fender, Iaya cheered up and sent a thousand miles to Sago on the same day to ask King Ragnar for battle. And he himself did not wait for the king's edict, actively prepared for war, organized militias in various villages, procured armaments on a large scale, hired mercenaries, adopted a wartime ration system for the city's materials, and even privately promulgated the "Zhao'an Law" in the manner of the kingdom's law, recruiting Haikou, and promised in the name of the kingdom that if anyone could offer 10 Vigia heads, he would not be blamed for his mistakes, restore his Nordic nationality, and give dinars according to the number of heads!
And Su Hao, in this context, came to Elbuck Castle.
The castle was already in a state of complete combat readiness, with fire oil, boiling oil, rolling stones, bows, bed crossbows and other defensive equipment, the walls were thickened and thickened, the moat was dug wider and deeper, and permanent towers and temporary towers were erected one after another. Everywhere stood guard spearmen, spear throwers, and crossbowmen, and middle and lower rank officers patrolled the defenses over and over again. And inside the castle, the houses, and even the castle lord's mansion, have been transformed into battle fortresses, and the entire castle is run like an iron barrel.
Outside the city, there are militias, mercenaries, and armies organized by various villages, and even Haikou who can accommodate enough people, which has become a regular army that can be equal to the militia, mercenaries, and the Woche army! Of course, their name is the mercenary group belonging to the Woche Mercenary Guild.
On the platform, Iyaya, a fifty-year-old man wearing heavy armor, reciting inscriptions, mobilized before the battle, while on his left and right flanks were a small number of pikemen and a large number of Nord infantry, and beside him was Rudapoye, the lord of Elbuk Castle and just sixty years old.
Although Iaya was over fifty years old, her figure was as majestic as Dwight's, and her voice was slightly old, but it was loud and high-pitched, and everyone listened to it, and their morale was shocked.
Su Hao got the following messages in his mobilization speech:
1. There were three enemy armies, two of which were rushed from Fort Bruga, led by Doruboboye, and Derborburg Army, led by Lord Lalcea, with 3000 corps each. They did not join forces, let alone attack, but camped in the plains to the northeast and southeast, 30 miles from Elbuck Castle, in a horn-like manner, waiting for the troops of the Živa under the command of Maliga, whose journey had been delayed by General Fender's resistance. In addition to this, there will be reinforcements from all over Vegia that are constantly coming to the front line.
2. The number of our army has not yet been counted, because the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have not yet converged, and some have just arrived and have not yet reported their numbers. Although the statistics are incomplete, they will not be less than 4,000 troops, and it is expected that there will be 5,000 troops.
3. The grain stored in the city can last for one month.
The two old men, Iaya and Rudaboye, did their pre-war mobilization one after the other, and then returned to the camp of the Chinese army and discussed with the staff officers the strategy against the enemy, while each unit returned to the camp separately.
After Su Hao returned to the small camp of his army, he instructed Ken, Romney and Dahan to train their troops as soon as possible, and at the same time prepare and load all the supplies, planning to move them soon. At this time, a person, led by Avril, walked into his small tent.
Su Hao didn't recognize this person, but just looked at his outfit, like an elite guard of the Chinese army guarding the general's tent.
This person first saluted as usual, and then said, "Commander Su, General Yiaya is invited." ”
Su Hao was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask General Yiaya if he invited me, is there any task to be assigned to me?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "No, but I don't know exactly what you are asking you to do, but I just want you to be sure to ask you to come over." ”
Su Hao knew that the other party was giving himself face, and did not say the words "Otherwise, military law will be engaged", so he hurriedly dressed up and followed him to the Chinese army camp.
Iya, Rudaboye, and a few staff officers were at the same sand table, discussing various ways to break the enemy, but the discussion came and went, and there was no effective method...... After all, the battle situation is too severe, the enemy is outnumbered, morale is low, the army is complicated, and all aspects are backward.
"Lord Iaya, Lord Rudapoye, Sue Rodria has arrived."
Iyaya looked up, a gleam in her eyes. He had heard of some of his deeds when he met with Dies, he was resolute, brave and strategic, and the plan to destroy the power of Oak was his handiwork. In the current situation of such erosion, you may be able to consider the opinions of young people?
"Call him in."
As soon as they met, Su Hao's straight waist and handsome face fell into his eyes, and he immediately asked with a smile: "Are you Su Rodria?" ”
Su Hao gave a Nord military salute and replied without humility or arrogance: "My subordinate Su Rodria has seen Lord Iaya. ”
"Where are you from? What origin? What position do you live in? ”
"The subordinate is a McCann, a commoner, and now he has no position."
"Okay." Iaya seemed to appreciate his honesty and said, "Although your background is ordinary, as long as you perform well enough on the battlefield, there will always be a day when you will get ahead!" Maybe we should compete in the arena to see who is braver! ”
Rudaboye also smiled and said: "Iyaya, Iyaya, you old guy, you are just too belligerent, haven't you heard of the saying that has been circulating in the nest car recently?" The old man doesn't use his muscles and bones as his ability, it comes from the mouth of this young man! ”
"If you want to say that, isn't Calradia the world of these young people now?"
Su Hao saluted again and said with a smile: "The two adults are serious, the so-called old man is in the middle of a thousand miles, and the martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. I have heard that although Lord Iaya is over fifty years old, he can still drink three liters of wine, eat three pounds of flesh, and wear armor and carry a spear, and that he is no less than when he joined the army, and Lord Rudaboya is also over sixty years old, and he can still ride a fiery horse, draw a bow, and wield a fifteen-pound sword. It can be seen that those who have been tempered for a long time are even older and stronger, and their ambition and strength are far better than those young people who are in the prime of their youth but do not know how to worry about the country. ”
When the two of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled, and then applauded, only to hear Iyaya say: "It is worthy of my Nord Yingjie, left and right, quickly take the treasure knife I hold!" ”
One of his subordinates handed over his treasure knife to the sheath, and Yiaya immediately handed the knife to Su Hao, saying, "This knife is given to you!" ”
Su Hao hurriedly took it and took a cursory look, this is a handguard knife, this knife is 3 feet long with a handle, the handle has a pure steel gauntlet, and the knife lattice part connected to the knife body is also decorated with black gold crow decoration, the knife body is engraved with blood grooves and inlay holes, and the blade is extremely strong and sharp, still on the Damascus scimitar.
A stream of information poured into Su Hao's mind:
"Mosaic Knife."
"Introduction: A handguard knife that follows Lord Iaya in his lifelong battle, with 5 inlay holes on it, which can be inlaid with gems."
"No stat bonus."
"Rating: C-."
After Su Hao finished browsing, he held the treasure knife in his arms, gave a cross fist salute, bowed slightly, and said, "My lord, I will always remember your generosity!" ”
Yiaya waved his hand and said: "I called you here, not to give a knife, you take a closer look at this sand table first." ”
After observing for half a minute, Su Hao nodded.
Iaya asked, "Do you have a way to break the enemy?" ”
Su Hao thought for a while and said, "I have a method, I don't know if it's feasible." ”
Iaya has only one word: "Speak!" ”
Su Hao picked up the short stick placed next to the sand table, drew two big arrows on the sand table, and pointed directly at the Dorupoye camp and the Larcha camp from the Elbuk Castle respectively, and finally spit out two words heavily:
"Raid the camp!"
(Note here that Dorupoye and Rudapoye are two people, this Rudapoye, who has a similar name to Lu Zhishen, is the lord of Al Buke Castle in the Nord Kingdom, and Dorupoye is the lord of Bruga Fort in the Kingdom of Virginia)
(In addition, in the setting of riding and slashing, the city is divided into three levels, namely villages, castles, and cities, of which the village is the smallest, such as the village of Loire, and the city is the largest, such as the Nest Car, and the castle is a medium-sized town with castles and walls, such as the castle of Elbuc)
(In addition, some people recently said that up is very handsome, up can't sleep all night, with up is more clever than Su Hao's wisdom, but still haven't been able to figure out this problem......)
