Chapter 100: Take Chase Town

After Viscount Sol led the army away, Ye Tianlong's side began to appease the people in the city while receiving the captives who surrendered, so as not to run around.

To Ye Tianlong's surprise, this Talbolia town was really rich, and more than 500,000 dinars were found in the city lord's mansion.

The original owner of the City Lord's Mansion, Viscount Raphael, was distressed when he saw that all his money was searched by the enemy, after all, he had struggled for more than 20 years in order to save this money! As a result, it is now back to the pre-liberation period.

In Ye Tianlong's eyes, what is more precious than those gold and silver is the six or seven thousand people in this Talboria Town, after all, the population of each country in this Calradia continent is not much because of the continuous wars. For example, the Nord Kingdom has a total population of more than 4 million. And this Svadia kingdom is relatively populous, but it only has a population of more than seven million, the second is the Rhodok kingdom, with a population of nearly six million, the third in terms of population is the Vigia kingdom, with a population of more than five million, and the Nord kingdom and the Kugit Khanate are ranked fourth at the same time, both with a population of more than four million. At the bottom of the list of people is the Sultanate of Salander, with a population of just over three million.

Although in terms of territorial area, the territory of the Salander Sultanate is not much compared to other countries, but because most of its territory is desert Gobi, it is not suitable for human existence at all, so its land is vast and sparsely populated, and only some oases can be inhabited, so it looks like a large territory, and the total population is only more than three million.

In contrast, in reality, the population of any large city at any prosperous point in the Xinghan Empire is tens of millions, which is more than the total population on the continent of Calradia.

It is precisely because the population on the Calradia continent is so sparse that every population is precious to Ye Tianlong, and as far as these populations in Talboria Town are concerned, he is ready to find an opportunity to bring them all back to his territory.

After sending these people away, he will be able to completely let go of his hands and feet and the army of the Swadia Kingdom will be around, and in the end, if he can hold these captured towns under its counteroffensive, it is naturally the best, it can be regarded as helping the Nord Kingdom expand its territory, if it can't be held, he must also plunder as many resources and population as possible before leaving, kill and injure more elite soldiers of the Swadia Kingdom, and reduce its war potential.

After working until the evening, Ye Tianlong finally counted the population and useful resources of this Talbolia town, and just as he was about to send these people and resources back to transport them, he also received a good news from the heralds, that is, the partial division led by Viscount Sol had captured Nachaid Town at this time.

You must know that at this time, it has only been about three hours since Viscount Sol set off, and most of the other party's time is probably spent on hurrying, and the real siege time is probably only ten minutes at most, I have to say that this Viscount Thor is really worthy of being a fierce general, and he took a town so quickly.

What Ye Tianlong didn't know was that in this battle, the actual battle time was only a few minutes, mainly because the deterrent power of the large combat airship was too strong, and Viscount Thor and his men had just fought for a few minutes, and the defenders of Chade Town broke up by themselves.

Obviously, the defenders of Nachaid were far less elite than the defenders of Talbolia, and their morale was very low.

At this time, Viscount Thor was leading his army to pursue the enemy troops who had fled from Chad Town, after all, once the fleeing enemy troops fled to Fort Nakerridan, reinforcements would soon be called, so as long as possible, it was better to destroy all these fleeing enemy troops.

At that time, when they fled from Chade Town, these defenders sneaked through the back door, and many of them were not even fully clothed, let alone brought out their horses, so Viscount Thor led dozens of mounted infantry under his command to pursue, although these mounted infantry under his command were not professional cavalry, but they were all on horseback, and four legs were always faster than two.

At the same time, Zhou Jiale commanded the large combat airship to land in Chaide Town, after all, they have been floating in the sky for almost a day, and they always have to come down to rest and replenish, and as the sky gradually darkens, the reconnaissance ability of the airship is also declining rapidly, this piece of darkness, even if it continues to be in the air, it is difficult to see the situation below, so it is better to take advantage of this time to let the soldiers on the airship trim it.

As for Viscount Thor's side, he was not worried, after all, the defenders of Chase Town were indeed quite stretched, and the rout troops who quietly fled from behind were only a few dozen people, and Viscount Thor led dozens of mounted infantry under his command to pursue it should be a sure thing, maybe his side just asked the soldiers to make dinner, and Viscount Thor came back after the battle.

Zhou Jiale guessed the beginning, Viscount Sol did come back soon, but what he guessed wrong was that Viscount Sol obviously did not successfully destroy the group of routs, but seemed to be defeated and retreated.

Of the more than 50 mounted infantry before leaving, only more than 20 returned, and many of them hung up their mounts, and they actually came back on foot.

As for Viscount Thor, there were several arrows on his armor, and a mouthful or two of blood spat out from time to time, and after riding his horse and barely reaching the gate of Childtown, the Viscount could no longer support it, and passed out without saying a word, and his body slowly slipped from his horse's back to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiale immediately knew that something must have happened, and while he sent someone to carry Viscount Sol back to the city on a stretcher, he also sent someone to inform Ye Tianlong and let him come over to preside over the overall situation. After all, in Zhou Jiale's opinion, it is definitely not easy for the enemy army to be able to beat Viscount Thor back so embarrassedly! He didn't have the confidence to hold off the enemy's counterattack.

When Ye Tianlong got the news, it was already about eight o'clock in the evening, but the military situation was urgent, and after he learned that something had happened to Viscount Sol, he still led the thirty-nine Kusset personal guard cavalry and one hundred heavily armed dragoons under his command to rush to Chade Town overnight.

By the time Ye Tianlong arrived in Chade Town, Zhou Jiale had already learned about Viscount Sol's defeat this time from the soldiers who had fled back with Viscount Sol.

It turned out that Viscount Sol was chasing the defeated soldiers this time, and because it was getting late and his vision was becoming more and more limited, Viscount Sol had been urging his soldiers to speed up the pursuit, so that the enemy would not completely escape from under their noses by taking advantage of the night.

And because the men were in a hurry to hunt down the routs, and as it was getting darker, they did not notice that they were gradually pursuing into a valley with steep walls on both sides, and a narrow road in the middle of the valley, which could only accommodate five or six people at most. Moreover, the mountain road was still very tortuous, and after not going far, there would be a big bend, so that Viscount Thor and the others could not lift the speed of their horses, and the fleeing rout army was about to completely escape their sight.

But before Viscount Thor could get angry that the rout was about to flee his sight, something worse happened, and on the mountain walls on either side, a large number of enemy crossbowmen suddenly appeared, including some catapults and bed crossbows.

Viscount Thor knew at a glance that they were in ambush, so he immediately led his army to the rear.

But not long after they turned their horses and ran out, they found that on the narrow mountain road in front of them, dozens of enemy infantry appeared at some point, armed with large shields and spears, and completely blocked the narrow mountain road. Before, because the mountain road had a big bend at every turn, and there was a mountain wall to block it, Viscount Thor and the others couldn't even find out when this group of enemies blocked the mountain road appeared.

The enemy crossbowmen who were lying in ambush on the mountain walls on both sides saw that Viscount Thor's group was blocked, and immediately began to shoot arrows downward, and for a while it was really a rain of arrows, and from time to time stones and huge crossbows were fired down by catapults and bed crossbows.

Those ordinary rain of arrows are good to say, these elite cavalry infantry under the command of Viscount Thor, who are generally wearing three layers of heavy armor, are not very afraid, and they will suffer some flesh wounds at most if they are shot, but the stone projectiles and giant crossbows fired by those catapults and bed crossbows are very deadly for them, and once they are hit, even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will be seriously injured and disabled.

Viscount Thor was naturally well aware of this, so he immediately ordered all his soldiers to dismount, and with a big axe, he killed the enemy infantry who were blocking the road, hoping to defeat this group of enemy troops and kill a bloody way.

But in the course of the fierce battle, Viscount Thor was unfortunately hit in the back of the heart by a stone projectile fired by a catapult, although it was only a small catapult, and the stone projectile was only the size of a melon, but the power was actually very terrifying.

Although he was seriously wounded, Viscount Thor knew very well that this lord was the spiritual pillar of all soldiers, and if he could not hold on and fell at such a good time, then these soldiers who were already under siege would immediately collapse in morale and surrender to the enemy.

Therefore, he stubbornly endured the serious injury, and led a group of men to kill the group of enemy troops blocking the road, and then rode on his horse and fled all the way back to Caid Town.

After arriving in Chade Town, even Viscount Thor, a fierce man, couldn't suppress the injuries in his body, and passed out directly.

Now after treatment, his injuries still have not improved, mainly because Viscount Thor is still forcibly fighting with his injuries after being injured, making his already serious injuries an injury on top of a wound, resulting in a medicine stone that is now difficult to treat.

If there are no accidents, it will last for two or three days at most, and this Viscount Thor will be choked.

Ye Tianlong didn't expect that in just a few hours, such a big change would happen, and his ally, Viscount Sol, was about to hang up. This made him realize the sentence that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. No matter how heroic you are, if you are unlucky, a random accident on the battlefield may kill you!
