Chapter 197: The Fuse
This is the army of the two lords of the southern realm of Lases, a total of 1,240 elite family private soldiers, belonging to two families. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the king's call for war, only fourteen of the twenty-three lords of the south responded to the call, defending Gregor, with Baron Fes and Viscount Scottjo being two of the nine who did not respond.
According to the laws of the kingdom, a lord who does not respond to a call for war is directly deprived of his nobility and the right to administer his territory, but there are a few exceptions, first, the lord is dead, which is nonsense, second, within two months of the conscription order, leading a private army to join the military plan of any legion, and third, making a great achievement, not guilty should be rewarded, and encouraging the lord to find a fighter. All in all, as long as you are involved in the war, you will not be punished.
The two lords agreed that defending Gregor could only delay the fall of the southern border, and that only by recapturing the Dragon's Throat Fortress and containing the Renault Kingdom's support and supply lines could the situation be reversed.
In the darkness of the night, the drawbridge of the Dragon's Throat Fortress was slowly lowered, and thousands of cavalry dressed as Reynolds entered Lasses, advancing along a military path outside the Dragon's Fortress that stretched into the distance.
"Damn the Reynolds have increased their troops again. Fez's tone was heavy.
"When this force is far away, we will attack. Viscount Scott gave the order, and the soldiers rested quietly in place.
A few hours later, the two lords began to act, leading their soldiers to quietly approach the Dragon's Throat Fortress, which was full of lookouts, and in order not to be discovered, the two lords deliberately made a large circle, sticking to the ridge next to the Dragon's Throat Fortress, entering the blind spot.
Located in the middle of two ridges separating the border, Dragon's Throat Fortress is the only road through the border, like a mouthpiece, hence its name.
The two lords successfully approached the fortress wall, wiped the sweat on their faces excitedly, the hope of retaking the fortress was in front of them, Skauqiu waved his hand fiercely, and was about to give the order to attack, when the ground suddenly shook slightly, and the sound of cavalry charging like rolling thunder on the ground was heard in the distance.
The cavalry unit didn't know when it came back, obviously the two lords had been discovered, and the soldiers on the Dragon's Throat Fortress also took action, the ballistas roared, and the crossbow arrows several meters long tore the bodies of a large number of soldiers, and blood flowed everywhere.
The two lords looked desperate and organized their armies to resist, and soon the cavalry unit crashed into the armies of the two lords, and the spears of the stabs harvested a lot of lives, and the lord's private army was instantly crushed, screaming and running in all directions, and was chased and killed by the cavalry one by one.
Fez and Scott fought bloodily, fought and retreated, leaving only a dozen loyal knights around them, and they were surrounded by many people.
"It is my glory to die for my kingdom!" Fez's tone was dead.
Skojou was suddenly shocked, as if he had discovered something, and kept turning his head, observing each of the war horses, and exclaimed: "Look at the horses of this army...... Oh my God, it's all Barriamas, bastards, they're not Renault's troops at all, they're Barrians!"
The two of them were terrified in their hearts, and thought of a possibility, Barria's intention was not to open the western border at all, it was just their move to paralyze Lasses, Barria's army was likely to have already disguised itself as a Reynolds, borrowed from the dragon's throat, and infiltrated Lasses in batches, the most terrifying thing for the two was that the kingdom, which had been distracted by the Reynolds a lot of attention, has not yet had sighting information from Barri's troops!
Hide from the world!
I don't know how many Barria troops have infiltrated the whole of Lasses!
It's like a thunderous blow brewing!
Si Kaoqiu hurriedly said: "This information must be sent out, you go quickly, I will cut off the queen!"
At this time, an indifferent and languid female voice sounded behind them, "It's too late. ”
As he spoke, a dagger pierced Fez's chest from behind, and Skojou suddenly turned his head to see his long fiery red hair, followed by a pain in his chest, and he didn't know anything.
Ewell wiped his dagger, glanced at the dead Skojou, called the adjutant, and asked, "How many batches of our people have come in?"
"This is the eighth batch, the Falcon Legion, the Woodpecker Legion, and the private armies of the Olaf, Norvi, Leyton, Falhed and other families, totaling sixty-eight thousand, have infiltrated the entire territory of Lasseth, and your plan is going well. ”
A sneer tufted into the corner of Avier's mouth: "Very well, then let the arrogant Lasses taste the pain." ”
The three moons that have existed since ancient times have witnessed all this indifferently.
In the year 337 of the Glory Calendar, the fifth day of the month of sprouts.
In the history of Lasses, it is known as the "beginning of the Red Plague"!
......
Thousands of miles away, Ivo knew nothing about it, and he put all his mind on fending off the mob.
Compared to the south-to-south and southeast, the western border is relatively safe...... It's just relative.
Riots are raging in all corners of the country, with the most serious in the West, where more than half of the lords are struggling to deal with the various thug organizations that have sprung up like mushrooms, bandits, thieves, dissidents, mobs, and even mercenary groups that have turned to raid...... This kind of mercenary group is basically of an alien race.
The King's War Call-up is only for the chaotic South, so the lords of the Westlands can stay in their realm and concentrate on dealing with the mob.
This is also the role of the administrative officer and staff officer who do not need to go to the battlefield in person, all the information is gathered in the royal capital, and then the overall situation is arranged, and the orders sent out from the royal capital are one by one, so that everyone in the war knows what they should do, and there is no self-chaos.
If there is no scheduling, everyone will be blinded, lose their goals in the chaotic war, and do many actions that undermine the strategy of friendly forces.
External strife and internal stability, this is the current situation of Lasses.
After several days, at dawn on the thirteenth day of the month of New Sprouts, the mob made up their minds and launched a general attack.
The town of Liema is in a fierce battle, and all the guards are fighting bloodily.
After these days of fighting, the rioters lost a large number of men due to the new ballistas and alchemy bombs in Burning Horse Town, and only more than 2,000 people remained.
The only leader of the mob was Henry, who decided to launch a general attack, piled up his human life, and promised a lot of wealth, so that the robbers were not afraid of death.
The battle lasted from early morning to noon, and the fighting was fierce, and the mob had already taken a place on the city walls.
The loophole of the lack of manpower in Liema Town was exposed, although the supplies were abundant, but after so many days of fighting, there were less than two hundred guards left with combat effectiveness, and everyone was tired, relying on the soaring Neburdan, they could barely stabilize their position. Although Neburdan is strong, it is not omnipotent, and the bandits who survive now basically have the strength of a level 1 warrior, although they can't bear the dragon's breath, they can also dodge it slightly, and the lethality of the dragon's breath has been reduced a little.
Ivo kicked a thug and tangled it with Henry, and the Bevanaru was oddly capable and difficult, and he took the moment to glance under the walls, where the black-pressed crowds of enemies were crowded at the base of the walls, struggling to climb upwards.
"Do you want to transform into a white bear and press it down?" Ivo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, anyway, he had summoning magic as an excuse, and no one else could think of the mimic.
Just as he was about to move, the ground in the distance rose like a cloud of smoke and dust, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Hundreds of Northland alpine war horses galloped wildly, parrot-beaked helmeted knights on horseback mounted their spears, a valley coat of arms embroidered on the blue lining of their bright silver armor, and blue flags tied to their spears, like a swaying blue forest.
"My lord, that's Crystal Valley's reinforcements!" Rod wiped away the blood splashed on his face, his expression perked.
Ivo was overjoyed, and the timing of the reinforcements was perfect, forming a situation of internal and external attack.
Jinggu's cavalry crashed into the mob, and one by one the figures were picked up by the cavalry spears, and they continued to be endless.
Henry's face was flustered, and he wanted to turn and run away.
Ivo yelled: "Fight back!"
There was a roar of promise on the city wall.
The fighting spirit is boiling!
