Chapter 157: Traveling north without worries

Lorist was very tired. He first rushed to the post in one breath, then killed the longbow soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion and the soldiers who operated the crossbows of the city guards, and finally killed five silver knights, which was exhausted. That was why he asked Pat to command the subsequent armored spearmen who arrived to force the enemy to occupy the position.

Although she was so tired, Lorist still held on to wait in the tent at this moment. There were still some things to deal with, especially El fell into the hills and had not been found yet, which made Lorist very worried.

The clothes on his body were stained with blood, and then they were half dry in the wind on the mountain, making them very uncomfortable. As soon as he returned to the large tent built by the military camp at the foot of the mountain, Lorist pulled all his clothes off, and wore a battle robe naked and anxiously waited for the news.

Yuri, Terman and Bodfinger walked into the tent.

"Sir, the enemy's five thousand reinforcements were wiped out, and two or three thousand prisoners were captured alive. The Golden Knight led by the team was killed by Lord Bodefinger." Yuri reported the latest battle situation.

"Borg, good job," Lorist praised.

Bodefinger smiled and shook his head: "It's not a good thing to win. If the Golden Knight hadn't been hit by three arrows first, I'm afraid he would have entangled with me."

Loris nodded: "Are you serious casualties?"

Terman took a step forward: "Seven Silver Knights were lost, and the remaining casualties were hundreds..."

The tent fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Lorist sighed: "Retain their bodies, cremated them and took them back. Their destination is the tomb of heroes in the family territory, which is the place where the warriors who sacrificed their family sacrificed their lives... "

"Yes, sir." Terman responded solemnly.

Yuri asked hesitantly: "Sir, I heard that Brother El..."

"I fell to the hills and were looking for them. Now it's almost dawn, so there should be news soon. Bread hills are not high, so it's that high, don't worry. El will be fine..." Lorist comforted Yuri and comforted himself.

"By the way Yuri, your mission is very heavy. The road to Vanadex must be closed and blocked. You must not let the news here pass. Remember what I said last time that to turn the enemy into blind and deaf depends on the performance of your scouts' light cavalry." Lorist patted Yuri on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with the news of El, I will tell you, believe me. He will be fine..."

"Sir, I understand, please rest assured that our scouts will definitely complete our mission." Yuri stood attentively and replied very seriously.

"Borg, you are responsible for the next plan. First try to attack Vannades City if you pretend to be an Iron Guard Legion. If the action goes well, block Vannades City and go directly to the Sith Castle. Only by occupying the Sith Castle can you trap the Grand Duke Madras's Sea Mountain Legion in Sidgrad Province, so that our northbound convoy will not have to worry about being intercepted by the Sea Mountain Legion."

"If the plan is not going well..." Lorist frowned and said for a moment: "Vannades City must be taken down. This will prevent our convoy and refugees from being blocked in Yungchandela Province. Yuri's scouts light cavalry must block the entire Vannades. Borg commands the armored spears and archers to involve and feint the guards. After the heavy armored corps and combat convoys arrive, you can attack and capture Vannades City.

If the sneak attack on Sith Castle is not going well, then let Ross lead two armored cavalry brigades to confront the castle. Even if the Haishan Legion arrives, I would not dare to fight with us in the field. Otherwise, I would like to see how a legion good at fighting in the field of the army and fighting in the water will fight against our family's cavalry..."

The plan arranged by Lorist was to immediately command the family armed forces to capture Vanadise and the Sith Castle to ensure the unobstructed road of the convoy and refugees to travel north.

The troops that were about to be released were Yuri's scout light cavalry, Pete's Archer Squadron and Rodwells' three squadrons of armored spear cavalry, and Bodfinger was commanded by Bodfinger. As for the heavy armored corps converted from the spear soldiers led by Bodfinger and the Dolles's combat chariot convoy followed.

Beside Lorist, the Knights of Terman and the General Battalion Guards, were left here for a few days to assist His Highness in completing the siege and water cut off of the Liechdanana Fortress Castle. Fatty Shi was responsible for leading the convoy and refugees to head north along the open space under the Bread Hill under the escort of Farea and Malek.

"Just like this, be careful and have a good journey," said Lorist.

"Yes. Thank you sir." Bodfinger and Yuri bowed and retreated, and they were about to leave.

"Let's go ahead and see, why haven't you found it yet?" Lorrist said to the staying Terman with a little anxiety.

Before he could walk far away from the tent, a guard hurriedly ran up in front of him: "Sir, I've found it, Lord El is still alive..."

Ruhr was dead. There was a huge crossbow arrow inserted into his chest.

El was lucky. He was not injured by the crossbow arrow, but was knocked down the mountain by Ruer. At that time, he did not realize any danger. He was still two steps away from the top of the bridge. Ruer, who was about to walk upwards, suddenly bumped over. He wanted to hug Ruer, but both of them were taken away by the crossbow arrow. He quickly moved his fighting spirit to protect his body. He first fell on the big tree below and then fell to the ground. He fell all over and got very serious injuries to his internal organs. However, his life was saved, but he had to lie on the bed for three or four months.

When Lorist saw El, he was still awake, with a pale face and a cracked mouth and smiled bitterly: "Why am I so unlucky? I was in good condition after being recuperated for more than three months in the last battle of Aohara, and this time I had to recuperate for another three or four months... Alas..."

Lorist breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You will be injured every time you fight, haha, okay, take good care of your injuries. Don't worry about anything else, I will deal with it."

El's injury was a displacement of internal organ injuries, so it needed to rest. Both the carriage and the mount were prohibited. Lorist had no choice but to have someone carry him back to Nadgas City, find a house for El to recover from his injuries, and ordered several guards to stay and take care of El, and then return to the north with them after El's injury was recovered.

After relocating El's whereabouts, Lorist returned to the camp and ordered Reddy to get a bucket of bath water and let himself take a bath to wash the dry blood on his body and head.

Then Lorist fell asleep halfway in the bathtub...

I slept very soundly this time, and it was already the next morning when I woke up.

Lorist saw himself lying on the bed, knowing that it was Reddy and the others who moved him over. He stretched his back and greeted him. Reddy came in from outside: "Sir, you are awake. Yesterday afternoon, the second prince was waiting for you tonight. When he saw you were still sleeping, he had to leave. I think he would come over again later..."

Just as Lorist was trying to fill his stomach, the second highman came indeed. Seeing that Lorist had woken up, he was very happy and refused the invitation to have a meal with him. He only had a glass of wine and waited patiently for Lorist to finish his breakfast.

In fact, the Second Highness had nothing to do with Lorist. He just heard that Lorist had killed a large group of soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion garrisoned above the Buffalo, who was alone in the sword. As a golden two-star master of fighting spirit, the Second Highness could naturally sense Lorist's black iron fighting spirit. What he valued was Lorist's outstanding strategic planning ability and strategic arrangements, and he had always disdained Lorist's fighting spirit strength.

Although he was envious of the number and ability of the golden-level silver-level knights under Lorist, the Second Highness only thought that Lorist would win people's hearts and made these subordinates follow him with dedication. This time, he sensed the strength of Lorist's black iron fighting spirit in his heart. The Second Highness thought that Lorist might have taken the lead in charge, but it would never be a single person and a single sword to go up the mountain. He suspected that it was a rumor made up to shape the impression that Lorist, the new Norton family's head of the wise and powerful family, was wise and powerful.

After breakfast, Lorist came down with the second palace again to the bread stand. Looking down from below, there was a busy scene of labor everywhere. Countless civilians were digging trenches and building walls outside the range of the 300-meter range of the chariots guarding the Fortress of Liechdana Castle. A circle centered on the Fortress of Liechdana is gradually taking shape.

"Tomorrow, we can go up the mountain to cut off the water source of the fortress." The second highman said excitedly.

"The Iron Guards in such a lively fortress are not harassed?" Lorist asked.

"I came out once yesterday afternoon. However, we were shot back by our crossbow arrows and longbow soldiers, and two or three hundred people were lost. When they saw that we were prepared, they were ready to defend the fortress and could not come out. When the water was cut off, we would see what they should do." The Second Highness smiled.

At night, Lorist received an urgent report from Bodefinger, and Vanadex had been taken down. Bodefinger had already closed the city of Vanadex, and was not allowed to leave. He was now leading people to attack Sith Castle, preparing to reuse the old tricks and seize the city gate when passing by as a caravan. He believed that a squadron of Sith Castle could not withstand the fierce attacks of two large squadrons of armored spearmen.

Lorist asked, and the subsequent heavy armored corps and combat convoys had left for Vannades this morning. I guess he would be relieved if he could arrive tomorrow evening. When the defensive front that besieged the Liechdana Fortress tomorrow is completed, the convoy and 100,000 refugees can head north to return to the family territory.

The next afternoon, the second highman personally brought two golden knights and more than ten silver knights, and a squadron of longbowmen climbed up to the foot of Leden. He circled a circle and found a waterfall pool that provided water for the Liechdana Fortress Castle on the hillside halfway down. He used Douqi sword to open another hole in the pool to drain the accumulated water. He found a buried water inlet pipe to block the water inlet, and then took a golden knight down the mountain. The soldiers left behind blocked the Iron Guards in the fortress to cross the Leden Mountain to break through and break through and intent.

On the third day, Fatty Shi began to lead the convoy and refugees through the border line to advance northward. When the Iron Guards in the Fortress of Liechdana saw the convoy and refugees circled a large circle along the clearing ground below the Bread Hill and climbed the avenue to Vanades, they found that their intention to block the convoy and refugees outside the border line had been broken, but at this moment they had not realized that they had fallen to death.

On the fourth day, the Iron Guards of the Liechdana Fortress Castle realized that the castle had been cut off. When they were sent up the mountain to check, they were hit by the longbow soldiers guarding the mountain. Only then did they realize that all the retreat routes were cut off and the fortress could no longer hold on for a long time.

On the fifth day, the Iron Guards in the castle of Liechdana fortress dispatched two brigades of more than 5,000 people to launch three tentative attacks on the defensive positions surrounding them. They all ran into blood in front of the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Andinak, who were ready to fight, and retreated back to the fortress helplessly.

That afternoon, Lorist received another good news from Bodfinger. The Sith Castle had successfully attacked. Now the three brigades of armored cavalry and archers have entered the Sith Castle. The gate of Sith Province has been locked.

Lorist was very happy and had no worries when he traveled north...

On the sixth night, the entire Iron Guard Corps of the Liechdana Fortress was dispatched and launched a night attack on the defensive front. They concentrated their strength to attack the point of the northern position, striving to complete the breakthrough.

The two brigades of the Royal Guards newly formed by the Second Highness were two brigades of the Royal Guards Army, who did not expect the Iron Guards Army to fight so wildly, and this was almost a way out for life. With these Iron Guards Army investing their troops regardless of their capital, all the squadron leaders and squadron leaders of the Royal Guards Army of these two brigades were killed in battle, and the two brigades were also killed and injured. The remaining new recruits finally collapsed, and the defensive positions were torn apart by the Iron Guards Army...

Just when these soldiers of the Iron Guards were ecstatic to break through, Terman, who had just arrived at Lorist, led the Knights to give them a blow. Using knights to attack these infantry without formations and no ranged weapons in the flat open space was a massacre. Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Guards finally withdrew less than 3,000, and most of them were wounded.

On the seventh day of besieging Liechdanna Fortress, the fortress was dead silent. The Second Highness and Lorist were busy cleaning the battlefield and saving lives and helping the wounded. The night attacks in the cold weapon era were the most cruel and tragic. The Iron Guards Legion that attacked had nearly 5,000 corpses on the battlefield, and hundreds of wounded soldiers were left.

The two brigades of the Royal Guards, which were defending the defensive positions, still less than 1,000 soldiers survived. All officers were all killed in battle, and several of them left the convoy and defected to the Second Highness. Terman cried very sadly. Two old cadets who died in battle were elite members of the swordsman club of Chenxi Academy, and were old friends and subordinates of Terman.

Brother Ba Tian. The remaining 3,000 Iron Guards soldiers in the castle of Liechdana fortress finally opened the gate of the castle and sent an envoy holding a white flag. The envoy staggered to the second prince, and only said in his thirsty mouth: "Water, water, water..."

The second highness's men successfully occupied the Liechdana Fortress, but what's funny is that the two thousand men who went to the fortress all carried a wooden barrel into the fortress, and the barrels contained clear water that had just been called from the Egret Lake.

...

On October 24, 1767, the remnants of the Iron Guards Army of the Principal of Madras, who was known as the world's largest defense ability, raised a white flag and surrendered to the Second Highness of the Andinak Kingdom. At this point, less than ten days later, the offensive and defensive battle of the Liechdanna Fortress Castle was declared over. The Iron Guards Army was wiped out, and the Liechdanna Fortress Castle fell into the control of the Second Highness.

The offensive and defensive battle lasted for a short period of time (the confrontation was only twelve days together), the result was huge (the defender was wiped out). The casualties were light (the number of casualties on the attacking side was less than 5,000), which shocked the 6 nations. The Second Highness Ogsero also became a rising military star in Galinteya.

The cause of this battle was that a convoy of the nobles of the Andinak royal family brought a large number of refugees to return to the family territory of the north, but the Grand Duke of Madras sent the Iron Guards to block the border line and refused to enter the Duchy of the Duke of the State. The Second Highness resolutely raised an army to eliminate the Iron Guards, clearing the obstacles to the future for the return of the convoy and refugees.

Process: The Second Highness first asked 30,000 members of the Royal Guards to reach the border to confront the Iron Guards. He secretly built a floating bridge and ordered the reorganized White Lion Army to smuggle Bailu Lake and attack the Bacang Iron Guards camp. He made the Liechdana Fortress Castle alone and took the opportunity to order the Royal Guards to siege the fortress to establish a defense line. Finally, the water source of the fortress was cut off, and the offensive and defensive situation was exerted, forcing the Iron Guards, which is known as the world's most defensive ability, to take the initiative to attack the defense line and eventually destroy it.

At the same time, the Second Highness ordered the White Lion Legion to rush all the way, attack the city of Vanades and the Castle of Sith, and to trap the main legion of the Principal of Madras, laying a good foundation for the Annexation of the Duchy of Madras, Yungshandra Province, which was the Annexation of the Principal of Madras.

Under the writings of various military experts from the six major countries, this battle is called the Miracle of Egret Lake.

Note: Because Lorist ordered the family armed forces to replace the standard equipment of the White Lion Legion, in the eyes of experts, the Norton family armed forces became the reorganized White Lion Legion of the Andinak Kingdom.
