Taking off his hard arm armor, Ronan took the large pieces of bread and the broth cooked with dried meat and vegetables handed over by the soldiers around him. Ronan dipped some of the broth into the bread to make it softer and put it in his mouth to bite.
A big piece. Ronan sat in front of the soldiers, eating the same thing as the soldiers. The recruits' sense of Ronan suddenly increased further.
After eating the bread, he raised his head and took a sip of the dried meat soup. After chewing a few times and swallowing the dried meat that had become softer after cooking, Ronan wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, put on his arm armor and stood up.
Nan had actually eaten a meal before. After all, he had a huge appetite now, and the little food just now was probably only enough to fill him up.
After eating and drinking, the soldiers gathered under the generals assigned in advance. Today they will drive until the sky is completely dark, and then look for a place to rest.
Judging from the movement speed of the troops, it will take Ronan's group about three to four days, and Aldridge's group will be much faster. It is expected that they can reach Wilson's territory in two days, but their difficulty is also higher. After all,
The Wilson Territory is not small. They cannot go straight to the main city and must advance steadily to occupy the entire Wilson Territory.
Ronan rode a horse at the front, followed by the cavalry holding flags, and then the infantry walking on foot. In order to reduce the load, the knights' plate armor and the horse armor of the war horses were temporarily taken off and placed on the shaft.
In a heavy carriage, after all, if you are dressed like this to reach the target point, not to mention the knights, the burden will be heavier on the horses.
The team walked silently along the road. Ronan had no intention of covering up his tracks. The reason for attacking Lobelon was very simple. The caravan from Ronan's territory disappeared in Lobelon. Some witnesses said they saw Lobelen.
Ronan's guards attacked them, and Ronan only gave the governor of Loberon two choices. One was to open the city gate and let Ronan's army go in to search, or the other was to enter the city after Ronan broke through the gate.
It is so overbearing, and it is true during the war. This is just an excuse to start a war. In this kind of chaos, the nobles only need a reason to attack each other, whether it is true or false, because everyone else has too much time to take care of themselves. The noble council exists in name only, and there is no time to verify it.
The reasons for starting the war are true and false.
A simple camp has been set up. Just cut down the trees on the spot and build a recommended fence. Then put up the tents and leave some soldiers to watch the night in shifts. We haven't left the county yet, and ordinary wild beasts don't dare to attack like this.
Big crowd.
Two days later, in the Viscount's Mansion within Lord Wilson's City, Snake Wilson was wearing a gold-rimmed monocle, reading a book and drinking high-quality coffee imported from the North. However, a burst of rapid footsteps disrupted the
In this silence, Sneko frowned. What he hated most was someone disturbing him during his lunch break. If there was nothing important, he would definitely give that person a few slaps later.
"Lord Viscount, what's wrong!" A man dressed as a guard ran quickly to Sneko. The door was not closed, so he came in directly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the guards rushing in, Sneko frowned even more, wondering if he was usually too kind to them.
"Count Fernando has sent troops to attack. They are very powerful and have already conquered Qinghe Town. I am afraid they will reach Eagle Cave City tonight!" the guard said in a panic.
"What?" Sneko was shocked. He didn't know why the old guy Raven was so crazy. He hadn't paid much attention to the situation in the surrounding territories recently, otherwise he would have known that Raven had abdicated. Although Ronan had restricted those nobles,
But it is impossible for him to restrict the floating population, so although the news has not spread too far, there has been discussion about this matter in Eagle Cave City recently.
"Hurry up and summon the nobles and officials, and then quickly recall the troops scattered outside, ask them to answer Eagle Cave City immediately, so as not to be defeated one by one, and then send messengers out to ask for help. With the defense of Eagle Cave City, they will definitely defeat us in a short time.
There is no other way. When the reinforcements come, I will make that old guy Raven pay the price!"
Sneko thought very well. He had just surrendered to the second prince. There were several nobles who were also loyal to the second prince. As long as he sent out a letter asking for help, the second prince would not be able to sit idly by and ignore it. Those nobles would definitely receive the order.
Send troops to assist him. And the reason why Eagle Cave City is called Eagle Cave City is because it is built on the mountain. It is a city extending from the mountainside. There are only two directions to enter the city, and you only need to defend two.
direction.
Moreover, the ground around Eagle Cave City is uneven and there are very steep slopes, making it difficult for siege engines and catapults to push up. There are sufficient food reserves in the city. Although there are not many soldiers, there are only a few hundred people after gathering all the surrounding people, but relying on
The natural danger is enough to defend until reinforcements arrive, if there are reinforcements.
Several fast horses ran out of Eagle Cave City. At this time, Aldridge and Meluses were cleaning the battlefield in Qinghe Town. They did not receive any decent resistance. The guards who had not experienced war for a long time and had relaxed nerves and slowness waited until Mo Lusus.
Lysus led the soldiers and rushed half the distance with the ladder before reacting and sounding the alarm.
However, the absolute gap in quantity and quality left the guards of Qinghe Town powerless to resist. As Meluses was the first to board the city, the battle was declared over. Most of the guards surrendered, and only the guards
The officials and some of the unlucky ones at the beginning were killed when they tried to resist.
"Don't hurt the residents, and don't harass the residents. After cleaning, have a meal, and then leave five hundred people to garrison. The others will continue to Eagle Cave City with me. Eagle Cave City must be captured before tomorrow night."
The soldiers were well restrained, because they were led by system soldiers with better equipment and stronger combat capabilities. The newly recruited recruits did not do anything excessive. After all, they were not bandits. They did not enter the city to rob for three days.
rule.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Aldridge and Meluses led their troops to the outside of Eagle Cave City. At this time, Eagle Cave City was under full martial law. The observers on the watchtower kept staring outside the city. In Aldrich
The moment Qi's troops appeared, they blew their horns and waved their flags to warn other soldiers.
Looking at the soldiers occupying the city wall, the bows and arrows in their hands, and the brazier in front of them, Meluses turned to Aldridge and asked:
"How to fight?"
"You are still leading the infantry to charge into the city using ladders. The archers will support you below. The cavalry and I are waiting. My subordinates lurking in the city are ready. As soon as our attack horn sounds, they will
I will rush out and climb the city from behind to help you share the pressure, and open the city gate at the same time. At that time, I will lead the cavalry back into the city and go straight to the Viscount's Palace.
I still only have one request: restrain your soldiers and not harass the people."
