Chapter 91: Rescuing Fort Rudb (I)

And those enemy soldiers didn't dare to withdraw for a while, after all, Ye Tianlong and the more than 20 cavalry under his command kept circling around their large array and firing arrows, once they really withdrew, Ye Tianlong would definitely immediately lead the cavalry to charge, and if they retreated halfway, they would be caught up and the formation would be overwhelmed.

However, even if these enemy soldiers continued to hold on here to block Ye Tianlong, they would be of little use, at most they could only prolong the speed of their defeat, because the main army on Ye Tianlong's side was rapidly approaching from a distance.

Just now, how the soldiers under Ye Tianlong's command used muskets and artillery to quickly eliminate the more than 800 cavalry, these enemy soldiers have also seen it, and they know that once the main force of the enemy army arrives, they will also be wiped out in minutes.

So under this pressure, some enemy soldiers who were more afraid of death suddenly abandoned their armor and began to flee in all directions.

This is like an introduction, which suddenly made many enemy soldiers who were also hesitating also start to break and flee, and the few remaining enemy soldiers who still want to continue to hold on are helpless in the face of their comrades who began to flee on a large scale, and even they will be coerced by the flow of people to flee together.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tianlong immediately led the cavalry troops under his command and began to pursue and kill these fleeing enemy troops.

Even many of the infantry under Ye Tianlong's command began to run wildly when they saw this, joining the ranks of the pursuit.

It's a pity that the number of cavalry under Ye Tianlong's command is still too small, even if he pursues and kills with all his might, he can't leave all the enemy troops behind in the end, probably killing more than a hundred enemy soldiers and capturing about 200 people, and the rest have fled in chaos.

The battlefield where more than a dozen enemy troops had fled had been collected before, and these were all high-quality horses that could be used as heavy cavalry mounts, but they could allow him to reorganize a dozen more cavalry.

After the battle, while his subordinates were cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Tianlong went to visit his nominal boss, Baron Thor.

This Baron Sol is also worthy of being a fierce general, during the siege, he launched defensive counterattacks from time to time, and suffered more than a dozen wounds on his body, but he still did not take off his armor and rest, and it was his existence as a god-like figure that he was able to make the morale of the dozens of remnants of the besieged soldiers still not collapse, and they all followed him to stick to the small dirt slope, and finally waited for the arrival of Ye Tianlong's reinforcements.

And Baron Thor is not a fool, but he is more straightforward, and after thinking about it quietly, he also realized that he was betrayed by his allies.

This made Baron Thor grit his teeth in anger, after all, it was easy for him to pull up a team of more than 300 people! It was almost a smashing pot and selling iron, but in the end, these soldiers did not die on the battlefield against the enemy, but were betrayed by their own people, and died here unjustly. Let him make a great contribution in this national war, and his plan to be promoted and make a fortune has completely failed.

Ye Tianlong looked at Baron Thor who was still angry and scolded from time to time in the process of dealing with his wounds, and vaguely guessed in his heart why in the original riding and slashing game, there was no such fierce man in the Nord Kingdom, it was estimated that it was because he was too straight, and he was not able to play those scheming old nobles, and then he was aggrieved and died in a certain battle.

Several players under Ye Tianlong, Baron Sol, were so angry that they even smiled evilly and proposed to let Baron Sol take them to destroy those guys who betrayed their comrades and couldn't save them when they saw death, and then directly pushed it to the Swadia Kingdom, but the Swadia Kingdom did send more than a thousand elites here, and it was normal for the Nord Kingdom to suffer some losses in the process of successfully fighting back.

Not to mention, Baron Thor, under the bewitchment of these players, is really a little tempted by this proposal.

Ye Tianlong watched all this from the sidelines, and he had no intention of stopping it, after all, most of them were essentially chaotic ministers and thieves, and it was normal for them to rebel and stand on their own feet after their power developed to a certain extent, they would kill whoever dared to stand in their way, no matter what kind of nobleman or king you were!

It's just that Ye Tianlong didn't expect that after these players didn't have the ability to resurrect infinitely, they would still be so fond of making trouble, if they really got rid of it and were besieged and hung up by the nobles of the Nord Kingdom, Ye Tianlong didn't have the ability to resurrect them all.

Fortunately, although Baron Thor was angry, he still maintained his basic sanity at this time, knowing that it was not wise to start a war with allies without permission when the enemy army had not yet been resolved, so although he was very resentful of his colleagues who betrayed him, he did not directly follow the advice of these players and directly sent troops to destroy them.

However, in order to prevent those two guys from continuing to report to the enemy in the future, Baron Thor did not plan to join them, but prepared to take the remaining dozens of remnants under his command and Ye Tianlong's troops to Rudburg to rescue.

At this time, the defenders of Fort Ruud were indeed about to run out of oil. This is mainly due to the fact that King Naharaus continued to increase his troops in order to take this important military town, and attacked Fort Ruud day and night.

In this case, even Count Olaf, who defended the city, did not make any mistakes, and has been steadily resisting the enemy's attack with his soldiers, but now, whether it is the soldiers or the various rolling stones used to defend the city, they have almost been exhausted, and even the solid stone wall has been smashed into a small gap by the enemy's catapults, if it were not for Olaf's hundreds of elite soldiers at that time desperately blocked, the enemy army would have directly entered the city through that gap.

In order to solve the problem of the lack of supplies in the city, Olaf now collects even the excrement of the people and soldiers in the city, and then boils it and pours it as gold juice when the enemy army is attacking the city.

I have to say that the gold juice thing smells disgusting, but it is really powerful to defend the city, and the price is that Rudburg is now almost a city, and the walls are covered with feces that exude a pungent smell, and the wind blows all over the city.

Surrounded by this stench, Count Olaf, though very tired, had no appetite, and could barely eat half a loaf of bread.

"Still no sign of reinforcements?" After drinking the wild vegetable soup and barely swallowing the dry bread, Olaf asked the captain of the pro-soldier beside him.

The captain of the pro-soldiers, who was also full of exhaustion and even had a thick bandage on his left arm, shook his head weakly, thinking that these guys must have become outcasts, otherwise reinforcements would have come a long time ago.

And Count Olaf is not as desperate as the captain of the pro-soldiers, he knows that the cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Nasvadia are very powerful, and the other party should rely on the high mobility of the cavalry to entangle the army that came to the rescue, don't look at the reinforcements have not shown up yet, but maybe they have fought with the enemy intercepted troops for several rounds, now it depends on who can't support it, if he can have a support army to successfully break through the encirclement and kill the city, then after he converges this reinforcement, and they had faith to keep it for another ten days and half a month.

Otherwise, he really won't be able to hold out for a few days, after all, even if he continues to recruit young and strong people from the city, now all the defenders of Fort Ruud add up to more than 200 people, and the enemy army outside the city still has nearly 3,000 men and horses.

After swallowing the bread and feeling some strength in his body, Count Olaf slowly got up from the ground, and then cautiously walked to the city wall, and secretly observed the situation of the enemy troops outside the city through the holes in the wall.

Suddenly, as if he had seen something incredible, Count Olaf wiped his eyes with his hand and looked out again.

This time he was sure that he was not mistaken, there was indeed a small army belonging to their Nord kingdom, advancing towards Rudburg.

The enemy forces outside the city apparently discovered this, and directly gave up the next round of siege that was about to begin, and instead gathered their forces and prepared to block this enemy reinforcement.

Finally waiting for reinforcements is naturally a good thing for the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom who are trapped in Fort Rud, but the number of reinforcements is a little less in the eyes of Count Olaf, looking at about six hundred, and some of them are obviously still injured, as if they have just experienced a vicious battle.

With such reinforcements, Count Olaf did not feel that he could successfully break through the enemy forces outside the city and come in to join him.

If the reinforcements had arrived earlier, Baron Olaf might have been able to pull a crack army out of the city to meet them.

But now there are only the last two hundred or so defenders left in Rudburg, and Olaf is not enough to defend the city, so how dare he draw troops out of the city to receive reinforcements!

So whether or not they can break through the blockade of the enemy forces outside the city now can really only rely on the reinforcements outside the city themselves.

Count Olaf tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see who led the support army outside the city, and after a while, he finally barely recognized that the banner of the other party was the newly rising Baron Thor, who heard that the other party fought bravely and often took the lead, and was very valued by the Ragnar Kingdom, and the soldiers under the command of the other party also looked well-equipped and well-trained. Hopefully, it won't be some kind of goods, and they will be scattered by the enemy heavy cavalry.

On the other side, after Ye Tianlong and the others found out that they had arrived at the place, they asked his soldiers to stop advancing and began to set up a car formation as before, waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to send them to the door.

This is the helplessness of insufficient cavalry! It is difficult to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, if the enemy army is bent on delaying and refuses to fight you, Ye Tianlong will not have much to do with the other party.

However, the enemy army besieging Fort Rud, with its large number of troops, had no intention of avoiding the battle at all, and soon gathered about 2,000 men and horses, ready to take the initiative to destroy the reinforcements sent by his Nord Kingdom. As for the remaining 1,000 men, they were responsible for keeping an eye on the defenders in Fort Ruud and preventing them from leaving the city to cause trouble.

Ye Tianlong saw that the number of enemy troops encountered this time was larger, and there were still a large number of infantry to attack together, so he decided to use the twenty rockets he carried.

Since the effective range of these rockets was more than 2,000 meters, the enemy army quickly entered its range, and Ye Tianlong and the others quickly ignited the fuses of these rockets when they saw this.
