Chapter 65 The failure of a certain lord(1/2)
In Aaron and the surrounding areas, the troops summoned by Lord Kestor are a medium-sized army. They are not as elite as King Graves' troops who fought near Jalkara, but relying on the mountainous terrain,
And the determination to fight against the invaders with the same enemy. Kestor leader
This army of the Lord is not easy to deal with. Moreover, the Rhodok Kingdom is not stable in a short period of time. Walls cannot get enough soldiers again. Every time one of his direct troops is killed, one less one will be lost.
Charles hopes to win this war at the shortest possible cost.
Walking from the west side of Viruganet, crossing a long mountain range, Walls arrived at a small village under the mountain pass. This village was called Dumai. After passing the Dumai mountain pass, he continued to walk west.
It was possible to directly attack Aaron. It was at that moment when Walls advanced southward from Malasburg and robbed the property of Aaron's nobles.
, Walls has already formed an indissoluble bond with the nobles among Aaron, so when the situation on the mainland changed, the nobles of Aaron spent all their money and took out a large sum of money from their private wealth.
Raised a mercenary army, cobbled together an army with Rhodok's own army, and recruited their exiled propagandist, Lord Kesto.
Looking at the majestic mountains rolling down, Walls felt a chill creeping into his heart. The entire journey was extremely silent, whether it was the common people in the villages passing by or the caravans traveling along the mountain roads. They
Whenever they see Walls, they avoid him without saying a word. The villagers in the village close their windows and doors to prevent their young and ignorant children from being exposed to the sight of Walls' army. It seems that the Kingdom of Rhodok
The people are already afraid of the Walls.
But Walls also knew that in the west, there was a group of people who were firm in their beliefs and wanted to fight Walls to the death.
"Your Majesty! I see that the terrain ahead is dangerous and is definitely a perfect place for an ambush. If Aaron's group of rebels want to carry out an effective attack on our army, they will definitely arrange an ambush here, so I suggest that your Majesty
You should arrange for some scouts to conduct reconnaissance around here."
Emerelda rode his horse forward. The horse was in high spirits. Unlike a dead land, only Walls' army in the Kingdom of Rhodok had high morale. Perhaps it was because
The momentum of Walls' army was too huge, which made this land lifeless.
Just when Walls was about to open his mouth to speak, he saw a figure gradually appearing on a plateau in the north. He was riding a fast horse. Soon his entire figure was revealed in front of everyone, wearing a leather jacket.
The armor, which is the most exquisite leather armor, is used to provide simple protection. The only
The advantage is that it is light in weight. The fast horse he sits on is a fast horse specially provided by Walls for the messengers. They have excellent endurance and are very fast, even if they are used on the battlefield, they are also good.
exists, but sometimes intelligence is far more effective than war horses used on the battlefield.
The man was as fast as flying. Under his strong horse, the scout quickly ran in front of Walls. He dismounted quickly with both hands and feet, knelt down on one knee and reported to Walls.
The information he brought.
"Your Majesty! The rebels near Aaron have begun to attack Malasburg. The number of our defenders in Malasburg is extremely low. If rescue is not carried out quickly, Malasburg will be captured soon.
.”
The scout brought such information, and Walls waved his hand, signaling the scout to go down and have a good rest.
At this time, Walls turned around and said to Emerelda beside him: "Emerelida, I have vaguely felt that there is a group of ambushes at this mountain pass.
There is an ambush, so I ask you to lead some people to stay here. I know that as long as I have this part of the team staying here, the ambush team will not evacuate."
Emerelda nodded, he will complete the task according to the instructions I gave him.
Malasburg is a castle that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now Aaron's troops are too strong, while Malasburg's troops are very small. If things go on like this, Malasburg will definitely be captured. As long as Walls
Taking part of the troops and sneaking to Malasburg, Emeryda chose to keep most of the troops here. The group of ambush soldiers lurking near the mountains would not leave. In this way, they would be restrained.
Part of Lord Kestor's army.
The reason why Walls was able to tell so quickly that there was an ambush between the mountain passes was because Walls did not see any signs of troops walking along the way. This also meant that Lord Kestor's troops
He had never left this mountainous area, so he carried out ambushes in this dangerous place. It stands to reason that Walls's army is an elite division, and Lord Kestor also knew that he could not compete with Walls.
Si engages in a head-on confrontation.
Therefore, it is natural for him to choose to ambush at this mountain pass. In addition, Walls did not think of any good way Kestor could defeat Walls' army. Therefore, once the plan was issued, Walls
Split into two groups with Emeryda, part of the troops temporarily stayed near the mountains, while Walls personally led his own troops from Dumai and detoured north to Malasburg. To Malasburg
The defenders came to aid.
Lozman is the mercenary leader hired by Lord Kesto at a large price. Lozman has a mercenary army of more than 300 people. Combined with the more than 300 people Kesto himself recruited, there are a total of 600 people.
The strength of the people, and the army led by Walls this time
The team also happened to have only more than 600 people. The territory of Walls is now in danger, and the Rhodok people may raise the banner of restoration at any time, so most of the troops have been deployed by Walls throughout the Rhodok Kingdom.
Maintain stable security.
Lord Kestor's strategy is very simple. He orders Lozman to lead his own mercenary group to ambush in the mountains near Dumai. As long as Vols's army enters this valley, Lozman will come from the mountains.
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired, and Lord Kesto wanted to take advantage of the situation and catch Vols off guard. As long as you win the first battle, it will inspire other soldiers. When the time comes, you have to win the second battle.
You won't be wasting your energy in the third battle.
Moreover, as he wins more and more times, he will gain the support of the Rhodok people and become the actual king of the Rhodok Kingdom.
Now he is personally commanding his troops to launch a fierce attack on Malasburg. Malasburg is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack castle. Currently, there are only more than a hundred defenders on it. Back then, Eden
Jarre led a large number of elite troops to attack Vols. Vols sent most of his troops to
They are all gathered near Veruga. The east side of Rhodok is already filled with many Nord soldiers, while his control on the west side is relatively weak. There are more than a hundred Nord soldiers in Malasburg.
The soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, but because Marasborg occupies a dangerous location, it would be difficult to take down the castle for a while.
It can be said that this time Lord Kestor has sent out all his elite troops, and there are not many troops left in the city of Aaron. If there is a problem on Lozman's side, Walls can march straight in and capture Aaron directly. However,
As long as there are no mistakes, victory is the beginning.
Today is the second day since the siege began. On the first day, Lord Kestor almost defeated Malasburg. In order to regain the lost ground, those Rhodok soldiers worked hard enough, but No.
The resistance of the German defenders was still tenacious, and Walls was their spiritual support. After all, they would never dare to lose this castle before Walls arrived.
On the second day, the weather was cloudy and it was obvious that it was going to rain heavily.
"This is not a good sign!" Lord Kestor said to himself. The guards around him changed their colors when they heard this sentence, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
For some reason, Lord Kestor also felt guilty when facing Walls. Lord Kestor was outside the Kingdom of Rhodok, and she had already known the reputation of Walls. If he had to, he really didn’t want to fight with him.
Walls confronts her face to face, but she has set up an ambush in the mountainous area, and Walls cannot come here. Let Lozman face it.
However, what Lord Kestor did not expect was that a flag appeared on the high ground in the distance. The tall flag was painted with a white unicorn. When he saw this flag, Kestor
Stowe was already frightened, with cold sweat breaking out all over his body, Walls actually appeared here.
No! Maybe it was just a detachment of his. He learned that Malasburg was besieged, so he sent a support force to save Malasburg.
At this moment, most of the Rhodok soldiers were fighting fiercely with the Nord soldiers on the city wall. The appearance of Vols's flag actually boosted the morale of the Nord soldiers on the city wall. And below the city wall, one team after another
The Rhodok soldiers also stopped their movements. Lord Kesto had already issued an order. His former
An army went to meet the army that came to rescue Malasburg. The general at the head was Joels, a knight who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Vaegia. At this moment, he appeared again wearing his armor.
Like the god of death on the battlefield, the war horse rushed into the defensive line composed of Rhodok soldiers together with him.
Rodok's soldiers were panicked. For them, after all, he had never felt the oppression of death like this. They were just some soldiers who had never been on the battlefield. They were gathered by Lord Kesto and had never been on the battlefield.
The soldiers were a little hesitant in the face of Joel's strong momentum.
A Rhodok soldier raised his sword in ignorance and pointed the tip of the sword at Joels who was charging towards him. Joels hardly looked at the heavy cavalry pole in his hand.
The gun passed through his chest, and the Rodok soldiers behind him only reacted at this moment, and pointed their swords and spears at Joels.
But for Joels, these things were just in name only. He jumped on his horse, and the horse's hind legs exerted force. In an instant, he and the horse leaped together. At the same time, the heavy lance was slowly lowered. This was the magical scene.
It happened, Joel's horse carried her over the defense line composed of Rhodok soldiers, and at the same time, Joel's lowered lance just passed through the chest of a Rhodok soldier.
Joels spurred on his horse and rushed down the hillside. He broke through the defense line formed by Rhodok's soldiers, and now he single-handedly attacked Lord Kestor.
The Rhodok soldiers stayed where they were, and they didn't react until groups of Nord soldiers appeared on the hillside. The commander of the army seemed a little confused. He didn't know who was leading his group.
Should the men go to fight the Nord soldiers coming down from the hillside, or go back to save their commander.
In fact, time no longer allowed the commander of this team to continue thinking. The Nord soldiers' throwing axes had already taken the lead. The commander waved the saber in his hand and raised his shield to resist the Nord soldiers' throwing axes. Others
The Rhodok soldiers did not have to obey the command of their commander at all. Their instinctive reaction would tell them how to save their own lives. As a result, this group of Rhodok soldiers no longer rescued their commander, but
He was trying his best to fight against a group of Nord soldiers.
The Nord soldiers were condescending, and with the help of throwing axes, they rushed downwards while throwing throwing axes, while the Rhodok soldiers just stood there and raised their shields. Their thick and strong shields provided them with sufficient protection.
Defense, so these flying axes did not hurt them, but then the first melee warrior on the mainland and the second melee warrior on the mainland were about to start a battle.
The leader is the most outstanding royal guard Jack. Jack has followed Walls through life and death. Now he is holding the royal guard buckler in his left hand and a Nord battle ax in his right hand. He takes the lead and is the first to rush forward and fight with Rodok.
The soldiers fought, and the confused Rock soldier was instantly cut off by Jack.
But when the Rhodok soldier reacted, a straight spear pierced Jack's left arm. However, Jack was also a man who had experienced many battles. The shield in his left hand moved with the trend, and the Rhodok soldier's long spear
When the spear hit Jack's shield, Jack felt as if he had been touched by a mosquito.
"Haha! How come you guys are so weak and still go out to fight?"
Jack exerted force with his right hand, and his Nord battle ax chopped off the spear of the Rhodok soldier. The soldier looked at Jack in front of him with disbelief, his tall and burly figure.
It had already shocked him, even though the Rhodoks were not inferior to the Nords in stature. But in the next second, Jack's battle ax chopped off the head of the Rhodok soldier.
In this operation, Walls did not bring the Swadian Knights with him. This was a mountainous area, and he was not charging with the Swadian Knights. After Jack launched the charge, Walls’ close troops followed.
Dozens of Nord royal guards surrounded Walls. Everything was to ensure the safety of Walls. The battle situation ahead was clear, and the Nord soldiers killed the Rhodok soldiers in front of them with overwhelming force.
He believed that before long, this line of defense would be broken, and his eyes slowly looked down the hillside, and he saw Joels rushing towards Lord Kesto's position single-handedly under the hillside. Kesto looked at
