Chapter 120: Take Deqiosburg
Obviously, those demons are very fair, and they have also put a lot of beast chemicals on this battlefield, and the more than 2,000 cavalrymen who are responsible for intercepting the alliance of nobles of the Nord Kingdom on the border have already taken this beast potion. Even their mounts were fed with the special magic potion for war horses, and they mutated into stronger and more ferocious demon horses.
Although the side effects and consequences of this beast chemical potion are very large, it can indeed allow people to gain a huge increase in strength in a short period of time, and with their demon military horse mounts that have also increased their strength, there is really an unstoppable momentum to rush and kill on the battlefield.
Moreover, they are still full cavalry, and they can often rely on excellent mobility to find the weak points of the enemy's army, cut off a part of the enemy army and the main army, and form a situation of fighting more and less locally.
It is precisely because they have suffered such losses a few times that these great nobles of the Nord Kingdom do not dare to divide their troops now, for fear that they will be broken by the enemy's powerful heavy cavalry troops as soon as they divide their troops.
"Alas! This battle was too poor, losing more than 1,000 people and horses, and as a result, they were stopped on the border, and they were unable to capture a single city in the Swadia Kingdom! If we continue like this, we will probably have to return again in the end, and then King Ragnar will not know how to laugh at us behind his back! ”
In the middle army tent of the Nord noble alliance, the Marquis of Eden looked at the battlefield situation on the sand table in front of him, and pulled his hair depressedly and muttered to himself.
Because the war is very bad these days, the Marquis of Eden always pulls his hair at every turn, causing his hair to fall out a lot in the past few days, especially the hair on the top of his head, which is about to fall out, making his hairstyle quickly change to the Mediterranean style.
Just when these big nobles gathered in the tent of the Chinese army to think about how to break the situation, another bad news came, that is, the grain transportation team in their rear was attacked by the enemy, and a large number of grain, grass and logistics materials were burned.
This forced the nobles to continue to retreat in order to shorten their logistical supply lines, and also to increase the number of guards in the grain convoy to avoid being easily routed by a small force of enemy cavalry.
Originally, these great nobles of the Nord Kingdom were preparing to directly attack the Repoleite Fort in the Swadia Kingdom, but unfortunately, after so many days of fighting, the distance from this castle near the enemy's border is getting farther and farther, and they are even about to retreat to their starting point.
They used to set out from Derberg Fort in the Nord Kingdom, the castle located on the border of the Nord Kingdom is located between two mountain ranges, because there are steep and towering peaks on both sides, and only the middle road can be passed, so the Gerburg Fort built here can be said to be an easy to defend and difficult to attack castle, and the Nord Kingdom side has repeatedly relied on the dangerous terrain of this castle to block the counterattack of the Svadia Kingdom many times.
It's a pity that this time they took the initiative to attack, not a defensive battle, no matter how dangerous the terrain of Fort Jerberg is, no matter how strong the defense is, it is useless.
And now, because of the successive defeats in the battle and the setbacks everywhere, they are already about to retreat to Fort Jeerberg step by step, which has to be said to be a very humiliating thing.
However, on this day, the noble alliance of the Nord Kingdom had just set up camp, and those big nobles heard the good news, that is, the Viscount Sol, who had been vigorously cultivated by King Ragnar, had actually hung up.
This news was the first good news they had heard in so many days, so the great nobles held a banquet to celebrate this happy event as soon as the camp was set up. Even during the banquet, they cursed Ye Tianlong, who was so good as Viscount Sol that he wore a pair of pants, that he also died in battle.
At this time, Ye Tianlong was leading the army and was heading towards the small town of Tosdel.
However, he had just reached the halfway point, and Zhou Jiale, who had taken a large combat airship to investigate the situation in advance, returned and told Ye Tianlong that there was no one in the town of Natosdel, and it seemed that they had all fled to Deqiosburg, which was not far from him.
So Ye Tianlong sent fifty cavalry to receive the town, which was no longer empty, while he led the army directly towards Deqiosburg.
Although Ye Tianlong did not intend to defend these captured towns, he also left a little force in each town, because he had already informed King Ragnar of the news of the fall of these towns, and the other party should soon send troops to receive these towns. In the end, whether the defenders sent by the king can hold these towns or not has nothing to do with Ye Tianlong, anyway, he has already handed over these towns to the army of His Majesty the king to receive, and this credit can be regarded as being recorded in the other party, and when he has accumulated enough credit, he will be able to continue to improve his title.
This is obviously a very irresponsible approach, but Ye Tianlong did not intend to be a loyal minister of a certain country, and he did not directly rebel on his own because his own strength is not enough now. When he has accumulated enough strength, he will immediately destroy all the countries on the continent of Calradia, and he will be the only king on this road.
After marching for more than two hours, Ye Tianlong arrived at the city of Deqiosburg at about eleven o'clock at noon, Ye Tianlong did not rush to attack the city, but asked the soldiers to rest first, and also asked the soldiers to make a hearty lunch, and waited until all the soldiers were full of food and drink before attacking the city.
While the soldiers were resting, Ye Tianlong personally boarded the large combat airship to reconnoiter the sky above Deqios Fort, and found that there was no human soldier who had taken the beast chemical medicine and had mutated his body in this castle.
This was good news for him, as it at least proved that the beast potions in the hands of those demons were not yet surplus enough to distribute thousands of copies to every noble lord in the Swadia Kingdom.
And when Ye Tianlong was scouting back and forth in the sky over Deqiosburg in a large combat airship, the owner of Deqiosburg, Count Melt, was panicked.
After all, Ye Tianlong has already captured two towns and a castle one after another, and Count Melt naturally learned that the combat effectiveness of the army under Ye Tianlong's command is strong, especially the various types of firearms, which are not at all able to fight against the cold weapon army, and even Count Stamar, who has more troops than him and has a stronger castle, has held on for less than a day and was defeated, he took the head to fight!
Seeing the enemy's huge flying machine flying back and forth over the castle and scouting the situation in his castle made Count Melt feel even more weak, feeling that all his arrangements had been seen through by his opponent.
In order to avoid ending up with Count Stama, Count Melt gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, deciding to surrender altogether! In this way, the other party should not kill him for the sake of him kneeling fast enough!
So when Ye Tianlong had just gotten off the airship and was about to go to eat some food to cushion his stomach, he saw a white flag suddenly raised in the sky above Nadqiosburg.
This scene made Ye Tianlong and the soldiers under his command a little stunned, after all, they haven't officially started fighting this time! Why did this enemy surrender so simply!
Because he suspected that the enemy army was surrendering by fraud, Ye Tianlong sent a hundred people first, and let Lin Chong and Shi Wengong lead the soldiers into the city to see the situation.
However, after Lin Chong and Shi Wengong led their troops into the city, they successfully took over the city defense of Deqiosburg, and the more than 800 enemy troops in the city were all obediently disarmed and taken prisoner under the leadership of Count Melte.
The fact that they easily captured a border town of the enemy army again made the morale of the whole army very high, and some of the more courageous soldiers even said that they could kill all the way to the capital of the Swadia Kingdom, Suno, and then capture it, making Ye Tianlong the new king of the Swadia Kingdom.
However, Ye Tianlong was still very sober, knowing that with more than 1,000 troops in his hands now, it was impossible to eat a kingdom like Svadia with a population of millions. However, the city of Suno can't be fought for the time being, and Dehrim, who is not far from Deqiosburg, can try to fight.
You know, Nadehrim is also a large city with a population of more than 100,000 people! Once you can lay it, the harvest is absolutely huge.
But before that, he has to move the population and materials in the Deqios Fort that he just captured, after all, he has limited troops, and he has to fight Dehrim City next, and he can't leave too many troops to garrison, if he just leaves on the front foot, and this castle is recaptured by the enemy, he will not do useless work!
Because of the active cooperation of Count Melte, the noble lord who surrendered, Ye Tianlong and they quickly counted that this Deqiosburg has a population of about 25,000, and all kinds of materials are also very rich, especially grain and grass, after all, this Deqiosburg is a castle located on the border, adjacent to the Nord Kingdom and the Vecchia Kingdom, so it is natural to hoard a little more grain and grass to prevent the enemy army from besieging the city.
But now it is cheaper Ye Tianlong, with so much grain and grass, it is much easier for him to relocate the people in this castle, and he doesn't have to go back to the real world to buy another batch of grain.
In view of Count Melt's cooperation, Ye Tianlong did not embarrass the earl, and then prepared to provide the other party with good food and drink every day, and then wait until the day he collected his troops to release the other party, after all, for him, the more enemies who have no courage and backbone, the better, so that when he dominates the Calradia continent in the future, there will be much less resistance! If he kills the other party, and then King Harauth is replaced by a powerful noble lord, then he doesn't feel uncomfortable with himself!
