Chapter 71: Appetizers (1)

It has to be said that judging from the forces gathered by the Swadia Kingdom, Kane's plan has a certain degree of feasibility, and King Haraus has also adopted this suggestion.

"Great, Kane, I grabbed 3,000 gold worth of goods in one day, you should really look at the turtles of the Rhodoks." The subordinate's excitement didn't affect Kane, who was frowning and thinking about something.

Svadia's army successfully captured Fort Argolon and then marched straight ahead, reaching the city of Viruga in the early morning of the 22nd. The lords of Swadia surrounded the city to the death, and sent some men to reconnoiter south, keeping abreast of the movements of the Salander Mercenary City. And the numberers of the Swadia camp ushered in a carnival, there are several undefended villages waiting for them to plunder in the Viruga region, they are not the lords directly under the marshal, as long as some of them go to complete the orders issued by the marshal, the other numberers are still very free to move.

"It's a pity, I thought the Rhodoko would support Argolon Castle, so we could break through to Viruga and intercept reinforcements halfway instead of storming Argolon Castle. Rodoko's crossbowmen cost us a lot of power. Kane's aide-de-camp, a bespectacled numbered man, sighed.

"It doesn't matter, if only I wouldn't have used my precious forces for an inconsequential castle, especially if Fort Argolon was built to defend Viruga. Anyway, after taking the city of Veruga, he will also have to clean up the nearby fortresses, and this loss can be borne by the king**. Kane said lightly that his biggest concern was the number of defenders in Viruga.

As a major commercial town, the city of Viruga should have a high level of defense according to common sense, but due to the increase in the city's population in recent years, several expansions of the urban area have not been able to meet the needs of residents. So ten years ago, King Griffos ordered the walls of Viruga to be demolished and new ones built on the outskirts of the city.

However, the increase in the length of the walls made the reconstruction work difficult, and Rodoko's finances were not enough to support such a large-scale project, and even now, ten years later, the walls of Viruga, which have been raised one after another, have not reached their original height, and the level of the city's defenses has been greatly reduced.

But I have to say that Rodoko has put a lot of effort into the defense of Viruga City, and there is no way to solve the problem of the low level of city defense, so they are working on other places. For example, the two fortresses in the north firmly controlled the movements of the old rival Swadia, and the two purely military and defensive fortresses made the Swadia army who had tried to attack Viruga for ten years suffer terribly. In this attack alone, Swadia paid more than 600 battle losses in the face of Rhodok's 400 defenders.

The lords of Svadia, who finally arrived under the walls of Viruga, did not show a look of excitement, and it was not easy to capture the city of Viruga, which was guarded by the Rhodok defenders of at least 1,500 men. Having attacked the city before, they knew that behind the seemingly small walls, there were all sorts of tricky narrow lanes and shooting platforms. Compared to the offensive and defensive battles at the head of the city, Rodoko's army fought more terrifying street battles.

But now that you're here, it's impossible for the Swadia Kingdom to just go through the motions and leave. The Swadia army, stationed on the spot, began to wait for the arrival of follow-up troops, while hurrying to build siege ladders. Since the walls of Viruga were on the low side, a relatively simple siege ladder was sufficient as a means of siege.

Kane didn't think that the siege would go well, Rhodok's defenders were quite numerous, and it was probably the result of abandoning the defense in the south and shrinking his forces with all his might, and it seemed that Rhodok was going to make a desperate bet. He also learned that there were many numbered people in the city to help defend it, which was also a helpless thing, although he sent a lot of troops to contain the troops in various parts of Rhodok, but it was still inevitable that they would slip through the net.

"It looks like we have to wait, but it's a really hard feeling to be idle, especially before the big war." Kane then arranged for the Legion members to move freely, enjoying the last lull before the Great War.

Compared with the step-by-step Swadia numberers, Hu Bin was much more irritable. Seeing that Viruga was surrounded, he could only watch. Many of the caravans in Mercenary City were trapped in Viruga, and a few were unlucky enough to be intercepted by the Svadia Numberers. Hu Bin, who had suffered the loss, couldn't bear this breath, and directly led the newly formed legion to push the warning to the periphery of the river in the north of the mercenary city.

"It's no wonder that there are really people who don't open their eyes to come to me for trouble." Hu Bin noticed a team of Svadia numberers coming into view, apparently coming to reconnoiter the movements of Salander's troops, but their position was obviously too bold.

Hu Bin led the attack and the cavalry regiment was wiped out, and he had to make extensive use of mercenary swordsmen (level 4) and Salander's own troops accumulated during this time in the new legion. In terms of cavalry, Hu Bin barely managed to gather 10 heroic knights, and with a small number of Salander riders and Mamluks, he formed a rapid reaction force of 30 people.

The numbered person on the opposite side seemed to be confident in their concealment, and when they noticed that some troops suddenly rushed towards them, they were caught by the tail by Hu Bin during the retreat and dragged into the battlefield.

Later, the Svadian numberer team found that the legion on the opposite side was less than 100 men, and the number of cavalry was quite small. Compared to the All-Cavalry Scout Corps, which had 10 numbered people and more than 80 people, his retreat was simply too humiliating.

"Isn't this Lord Reed, hehe, he was overshadowed by Rhodok and fell into this way." The team leader saw that there was only one legion of Hu Bin, and he was relieved.

"Enough for you." Hu Bin didn't want to talk to these little feet at all, although his own legion was not strong, but his own strength was enough to crush the other numberers, and Hu Bin was most willing to catch the numberers. Every time he caught those guys with special props, Hu Bin could take out some treasures from their hands, after all, a month of captivity was too difficult.

The lucky Hu Bin occupied a small hill as soon as he opened, and he ordered all the infantry to jam the hill and respond to the enemy's charge in a tight formation. The cavalry charge of more than 80 people made Hu Bin pay attention for a moment, but then he treated it indifferently, he had seen too many big scenes. Looking at the group of guys who were happily preparing to take down the strongest numbered person, Ted could only say that those people were still too young, and never underestimate the degree of black belly of the master, just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger once, I hope that the opposite numbered person will not have a shadow in his life in the future.

Seeing the enemy's advance approaching the hillside, Hu Bin began his performance.

The white light, this was the last thought of the cavalry in the front row of Swadia, and a holy sword impact that almost exhausted Hu Bin's magic power directly dispelled the momentum of the group charge of the Swadia legion. Although the powerful slash did not cause serious damage, the deadly light and scorching sensation drove the horses crazy, and the morale of the native knights was also contained by this powerful blow.

Without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, all the soldiers rushed out amid Hu Bin's loud shouts and engaged in a melee with the cavalry struggling on the hillside.

"It's good that I didn't use all the magic power, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to bear it." Hu Bin gasped on the horse, and the energy consumed by the impact of the Holy Sword seemed to take away a lot of his physical strength, but he gradually recovered under the blessing of the Holy Sword and the nourishment of the Holy Healing Technique. Now he is leading the few cavalry diagonally into the ground formation, giving the enemy a wave of charge.

The Battle Crusader Legion flag fluttered on Ryan's cavalry, and the lucky Hu Bin finally redeemed the battle flag from the Rhodok Numberer, and the price paid was to invite a few Rhodok Numberers to his banquet and let these ** silks observe the content of the side quest.

The numberers of Svadia found it a fool's decision to engage the hired swordsmen on the slopes. They then ordered their retinues and subordinates to disperse, using the mobility of the cavalry to intersperse and divide the enemy's infantry, and wear down Hu Bin's forces little by little.

However, Hu Bin's response made them very uncomfortable, and when he found that the enemy had the intention of scattering, Hu Bin immediately ordered his troops to retreat to the hillside, and the battle returned to the original point, except that the Swadia cavalry had to re-open the distance and charge.

However, the plan to charge again was dismissed, and the young cavalry led by Hu Bin actually followed and chased after him.
