In Saul's opinion, this time in the battle, without those big nobles who have malicious intentions towards him to stumble behind him, as long as he acts carefully, even if he can't take advantage of anything in the end, the loss will not be too great. By the way, he can also train his soldiers well, after all, there are a lot of recruits in his army now!

Ye Tianlong listened to Sol's words, and couldn't help but think of going out together, after all, there are indeed a lot of recruits in his army! And this actual combat is indeed the best way to train soldiers, as long as you can survive a few battles, then a recruit can quickly turn into a veteran.

After gathering his cronies and discussing them, everyone agreed to fight with Viscount Thor.

So Ye Tianlong also made up his mind completely, and at the same time told the other party the news that he was also preparing to send troops, and asked the other party to give him two days to prepare, so that he could prepare enough logistics supplies such as grain, grass and various ammunition, and those materials would be transported by his carriage at that time, and there was no need for Viscount Sol to waste manpower to escort them.

After only two days, Viscount Thor could still afford to wait, so he agreed to Ye Tianlong, and then quickly returned to his territory, and began to gather troops and make the final preparations before the army.

And Ye Tianlong, in addition to preparing various logistical materials in the past two days, also asked Murong Jie and Tang Long to step up to build weapons and armor for Yang Zhi and Shi Xiu.

In terms of armor, it's okay to say, but in terms of weapons, it must be built according to the hobbies of these heroes, after all, only with the weapons in hand, these heroes can exert all their combat power. The most obvious representative of this is Li Kui, when he holds two plate axes, this guy is extremely fierce, it can be called a person blocking and killing, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, unless it is a first-class general with extraordinary martial arts, otherwise he can't stop his rush to kill.

But once the two plate axes are lost in his hands, his combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced, and even the prodigal son Yan Qing and the faceless Jiao Ting can easily beat him.

The few heroes who came before had already built weapons according to their respective preferences, such as Na Lin Chong, whose main weapon was the Zhangba Snake Spear, Shi Wengong's main weapon was a Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and Luan Tingyu's main weapon was a long-handled iron bone duo. Among the heroes who came later, Shi Qian's main weapon was a pair of short knives, Zhang Heng's weapon was a simple knife, and he was also equipped with a bag of heavy javelins, Zhang Shun's weapon was a single knife with a steel shield, and he was also equipped with a bag of heavy javelins, and the weapon of the tiger general Li Zhong was a long spear, and the secondary weapon was a single knife and a pair of bows and arrows.

As for this Yang Zhi and Shi Xiu, Ye Tianlong created a glaive knife for Yang Zhi after asking the two of them, because Yang Zhi, the family heirloom knife technique of the Yang family, is also very good at it, and this knife technique is still the kind of martial art suitable for use on the battlefield. In addition, Ye Tianlong also equipped him with a pair of bows and arrows and a single knife as secondary weapons.

Shi Xiu's words, Ye Tianlong created two long knives more than one meter long for him as his main weapon, and also equipped him with a bag of heavy javelins as secondary weapons.

With Tang Long's assistance, Murong Jie finally built the weapons and armor of Yang Zhi and Shi Xiu within two days, including the horse armor for Yang Zhi's war horse.

After everything was ready, Ye Tianlong was ready to go and join Viscount Sol's soldiers and horses to go on the expedition together.

This time, he took most of his troops away, leaving only one hundred people to stay in the camp, and another five hundred naval recruits who were in training, plus Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Tang Long, the three heroes left behind, ordinary thieves and lawbreakers are still fully capable of cleaning up.

As for Viscount Thor, only a few dozen recruits were left behind, and he brought five hundred people out in one go, plus the 1,500 people brought out by Ye Tianlong's side, the combined strength of the two sides has reached more than two thousand, which is a relatively large army on the Calradia continent.

What surprised Ye Tianlong a little was that this time Viscount Thor actually came out with dozens of cavalry, but those cavalry were riding low-level horses such as traveling horses and pack horses, and then looking at the weapons these cavalrymen were not riding spears, but two-handed axes.

Ye Tianlong observed for a while and felt that these might not be cavalry, but mounted infantry, a hoplite unit with high mobility.

In fact, Ye Tianlong guessed correctly, Viscount Sol has formed a cavalry infantry unit all the time, and those horses are specially prepared by him for his hoplites who are equipped with low-level versions of Tiefutu armor, with these horses, this kind of hoplites no longer have to worry about wasting their physical strength when rushing on the battlefield, they can ride horses to reach their destination quickly, and then dismount collectively to fight.

And Viscount Sol was even more envious of the more well-equipped troops under Ye Tianlong's command, especially the hundreds of heavy cavalry under the other party, which made him greedy. What shocked him the most was the large combat airship that floated over Ye Tianlong's army and was more than eighty meters long.

That's right, this time Ye Tianlong's air force finally joined the battle sequence for the first time, this large combat airship can not only be used to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, but also can throw bombs at the enemy from the air, or attack the enemy with some small-caliber burst artillery equipped on it.

This time, Ye Tianlong and Viscount Saul's route of sending troops was basically the same as the last time King Ragnar sent troops, and the army rushed all the way to Rudburg.

When Ye Tianlong and the others arrived at Fort Ruud, they found that this castle, which had been seriously damaged in the last war, was almost repaired at this time, and Count Olaf, who was in charge of guarding here, saw Ye Tianlong and Viscount Sol, the two life-saving benefactors, arrived, and warmly entertained the two, and then asked the two of them about the purpose of this time during the banquet.

Viscount Thor was straightforward, and told Count Olaf truthfully that this time they were going to take the opportunity to take the initiative to attack the Swadia Kingdom, and if possible, capture the next few towns, and at the worst they would have to loot some money and people from the Swadia Kingdom.

After Count Olaf learned the purpose of the two, he kindly reminded the two that although the main army of the Swadia Kingdom was indeed attracted by the alliance of their own nobles who launched an attack earlier, the other border areas had also entered a state of combat readiness, and the defense was very tight.

However, Ye Tianlong and Viscount Sol had already been mentally prepared for this, and they did not retreat because of Olaf's reminder.

After allowing the troops to repair here in Fort Ruud for half a day, Ye Tianlong and Thor continued to lead their troops to set out, and then in the afternoon of the same day, they officially entered the territory of the Svadia Kingdom.

Because there are many cavalry in the Swadia Kingdom, Ye Tianlong and they just entered its territory, and several small groups of light cavalry discovered them, and after these light cavalry discovered their huge enemy army, they had no intention of coming forward to die, they all took a look and slipped away, probably rushing back to their respective towns to report the news.

Ye Tianlong and the others didn't care about the enemy scouts who slipped fast, but moved forward according to the pre-set goals by themselves.

Previously, Ye Tianlong and Viscount Thor had already discussed which town to attack first after entering the territory of the Swadia Kingdom.

On the map, there are two towns closest to each other after entering the territory of the Kingdom of Swadia from the Rudburg side, one of which is the town of Tosdel and the other is the town of Talbolia.

Of the two towns, the town of Tosdell is a little closer, but not far from it is the military town of the Swadia Kingdom, Dekiosburg, so if they choose to attack Tosdel, they may soon be flanked by the enemy forces in Nadkiosborg.

Therefore, in order to be able to get off to a good start, Ye Tianlong and the others decided to be more secure and decided to attack the small town of Talbolia, which had no enemy forces nearby.

When Ye Tianlong and his army unit were still halfway there, Zhou Jiale was already driving the large combat airship to the small town of Talbolia to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

When this large airship arrived in the sky over the small town of Talbolia, it immediately caused a lot of commotion, and it could be seen from the air that many townspeople were frightened by this huge flying machine that they had never seen before, and wanted to escape from the town, but they were intercepted by the defenders in the town.

This Talbolia town is obviously much more prosperous than Viscount Thor's Odasan Town, the townspeople in it seem to have at least six or seven thousand people, and the number of defenders in the town is also quite a lot, from the air observation should be more than five hundred people, and the equipment is also very good, nearly half of them are equipped with iron armor such as chain mail, and the rest of those who are only equipped with leather armor and cloth armor seem to be crossbowmen, belonging to long-range troops, and generally do not need to participate in melee combat.

In addition, the earthen walls of this Talbolia town are also taller and thicker than those of Odasan Town, and it can be seen that there are many large bed crossbows as defense equipment, plus more than 500 defenders in the city, even if there are 1,000 enemy troops to attack, it is estimated that it will be difficult to capture the town of this Swadia Kingdom.

Zhou Jiale did not stay long after they finished reconnoitring the enemy situation, and soon returned to the main force and reported the information they had detected.

After Ye Tianlong got this information, he couldn't help but be glad that he had brought three heavy guns with a caliber of 100 mm this time, otherwise it would indeed be difficult to capture an enemy town with such a thick city wall.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tianlong led the army to the town of Talbolia, and then he did not waste time, and immediately asked the artillery to set up the three 100-millimeter heavy guns first, ready to bombard the city wall of the opposite town.

Seeing that Ye Tianlong and their side began to set up artillery, the city gate suddenly opened, and about a hundred mixed cavalry rushed out of it and rushed towards the artillery position on Ye Tianlong's side, obviously wanting to take advantage of Ye Tianlong's foothold to rush to the artillery position, and then destroy those artillery.
