One sunny morning, Ronan raided a small town in the Earl of Bornstein without warning, and quickly defeated the defenders and occupied the area. Then, using that small town as the axis of the stronghold, the troops divided into three directions.
The entire earldom launched an attack.
In order to guard against Cassiano and Ronan, Leonard still left a lot of troops in the Royal City and Bornstein Territory, and also left several royal knights as commanders.
But what they didn't expect was that Ronan's strength was no longer what it used to be. After digesting the results of conquering the southern part of the kingdom during this period, the quantity and quality of Ronan's army had been improved.
A thousand Nord Legion as offensive infantry, a main battle infantry of 2,000 consisting of Rhodok mixed with Imperial Legion infantry from Pendor's Prophecy mod, and a heavy cavalry force of more than 600 consisting of a mixture of arms from multiple countries.
and a light cavalry force of more than a thousand people, and finally a thousand-man archer force from multiple countries, with the Vikian marksmen as the main force.
In addition to the 3,000-strong army of the lords and the more than 2,000 troops gathered by other lords, Ronan's strength can be said to be very strong. Although he left about 2,000 infantry and 300
The archers stayed at the border to prevent Leon from breaking the treaty and launching an attack, but Ronan's existing troops were no longer able to withstand the defensive forces left by Ronan's forces that Leonard had previously budgeted for.
At first, the Royal Knights wanted to take the initiative to block Ronan's attack, but after hitting a wall twice, they immediately gave up the idea. Even if Ronan divided his troops, they could not easily stop him, and the losses were too great.
If so, there will be no way to maintain defense.
The defenders were forced by Ronan into the main city of the Bornstein Territory, and they sent messengers to Leonard for support before they were besieged. Leonard did not expect that Ronan would pull up a force in such a short time.
A force even stronger than before. After all, he didn't know that Ronan was in trouble, but he couldn't let Ronan continue to advance. After all, after passing the Bornstein Territory, the royal city lost its final barrier to Ronan.
, was directly exposed to Ronan’s army.
Leonard must not allow the Royal City to be in danger. After all, it is his current foundation. Once the Royal City is lost from his hands, Leonard will lose several available cards and also lose a hostage that is more important to Leon.
Moreover, Cassiano can also use Wangcheng to make many moves, and Leonard will suddenly fall into absolute passivity.
Therefore, Leonard did not hesitate to order Hebrew to lead the main army to continue to garrison the Sidon Fortress, while he led the Yangyan Regiment, Tiberius' tribe, and most of the Knights to return to support the Bornstein Territory, and along the way he
Recruit all the remaining soldiers left by the major lords in their territories.
Although this can raise a large number of troops, the price is that these territories will fall into an unprecedented defensive void. Before Leonard leads his army back, the lords on both sides of the Bornstein Territory who are also loyal to Leonard
Under Leonard's order, the army had already been assembled to put pressure on Ronan and relieve the pressure on Bornstein.
Ronan did not continue to attack, and even took the initiative to retreat a bit after the lords sent out troops, and took up residence around the small town where he had hidden before.
Of course, Ronan can attack with all his strength and capture the city before Leonard returns to help, and go straight to the royal city, but it is not necessary, because in this way, Leonard's spearheads will all be aimed at Ronan. In this case, Leon
It's too advantageous, since Leon is also Ronan's enemy, and the alliance between the two parties is only short-lived and has no guarantee.
Ronan didn't want to fight Leonard to the death and let Leon save his strength to reap the consequences of the two of them. Of course, Ronan also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Leonard's strength, so he decided to use his intelligence advantage.
They came to intercept Leonard's supporting troops, causing some damage to them but not willing to fight, nor seeking to annihilate them. In this way, Leonard's troops could be stuck here so that they could not return to Sidon Fortress.
Therefore, when Bornstein and the noble lords around him were confused, Ronan, who had been quiet for several days, quietly left with a group of troops under the cover of night, while the remaining troops were still in the town.
Where can I put on a show and maintain the same appearance as before so as not to arouse the enemy's suspicion?
This ambush is mainly based on cavalry. After all, there is no hiding place along the way. A large number of infantry can be seen far away and cannot be ambushed at all. Therefore, Ronan plans to send scouts back and forth on the road where they are about to arrive.
reconnaissance, and then after discovering leonard he
They later used the cavalry to launch a quick raid, hit one wave and then run away. If conditions allowed, they would harass a few more waves. If conditions did not allow, they would return to the station and pull out large troops to block their route to Bornstein's territory, making it impossible for them to
A smooth round, in short, just prolongs the time.
In order to prevent Leonard's side from noticing the danger when the scouts fired flares, Ronan specifically asked Magna to lead the scout team. In this way, Ronan could be informed of the reconnaissance results directly through the system. If he could fall behind,
When it comes to remote calling in the world, no one can compare to Ronan and the heroes.
The long team advanced slowly on the wide dirt road, with the cavalry leading the way, and the infantry walking around the carriage convoy containing Leonard and other important supplies in the center. It was almost dinner time, and the soldiers left
I'm tired from the day and a little hungry
I was thirsty, and I was looking forward to the meal in the evening. Although it was not very good, only bread and vegetable soup, it was better than what some soldiers who were poor people had eaten before. It was full of sawdust, sand and gravel, and tasted very sour.
The hard black bread that can kill people is much stronger.
"Lord, they are almost entering the expected location, please be ready!" Magna, who was hiding in the surrounding trees, said to Ronan in the system.
Soon, Leonard's troops entered the expected location. Following Magna's signal, Ronan immediately began to accelerate the charge with the cavalry waiting thousands of meters away.
Perhaps they did not expect Ronan to know their route, nor did he expect that Ronan could bypass the territories of other lords and penetrate into this position. Leonard's troops were not very vigilant until the ground began to be attacked by a large number of heavy cavalry.
When he started to tremble slightly as he charged, the leading knight became somewhat alert.
"It's the cavalry! Enemy attack! Get ready, infantry in formation!" Hearing the sound of heavy horseshoes on the ground that followed the shock, the knight knew that something was wrong. He immediately shouted and gave orders. The training was effective.
The cavalrymen of Su's Knights quickly made adjustments and jogged in circles to gather strength, but the infantrymen panicked. They formed a formation in a panic, but they were still in a state of chaos when they arrived. Ronan arrived.
