Holding the lance, Ronan rushed to the front of the cavalry regiment, lowered his body, and looked at the enemy getting closer and closer in the distance. Ronan's muscles tightened, the lance was tightly clamped under his armpits, and his legs were tightly clamped.
The horse underneath you should avoid being dismounted by the reaction force after a collision.
The cone-shaped cavalry regiment pierced hard into Leonard's troops. The infantry who failed to effectively form a spear phalanx were unable to effectively kill and block the cavalry, and were directly scattered.
Ronan threw away the lance that had impaled two enemy soldiers, took off the halberd from his back and started slashing from side to side. Soon, Leonard's troops were pierced by the cavalry led by Ronan, and Ronan also
I thought about going directly to the horse-drawn carriage team in the middle, but where the defense is stronger, where the elites of Leonard's troops are gathered, and the horse-drawn carriage will block the route of the horses, it will be difficult if the speed is slowed down.
.
Therefore, Ronan gave up the idea of destroying the enemy's supplies, and instead led the cavalry behind him to pass by the edge of Leonard's troops several times, causing some damage and then left.
The cavalry on Leonard's side did not dare to pursue them at all, because they were far outnumbered by the cavalry brought by Ronan. If they pursued rashly, they would probably be annihilated by Ronan's counterattack, and the slow-moving infantry could not help them at all.
"How do they know our route! Send someone to investigate quickly, and then send scouts to patrol the surrounding area to look for traces of those guys.
After reorganizing, reselect the route and reduce the movement speed. The entire army must be alert. As long as they are prepared, they will not be able to pose any threat to us!"
The cavalry restrains the infantry. That is when the numbers are dominant or balanced. The cavalry can rely on the impact and mobility of the horses to massacre the infantry. However, if the number of infantry exceeds several times and forms a spear-repelling formation, the cavalry rushes in rashly.
Although it can cause great damage to the infantry in the front row, it will also fall into the quagmire of the infantry formation. If it loses mobility, the cavalry will only be dragged off their horses and hacked to death by the infantry.
The cavalry acted as scouts and spread out to guard against Ronan's possible follow-up raids. In fact, Ronan did not leave, but after seeing Leonard choose a long detour and slow down to guard against him, he knew that his
In fact, the goal was almost achieved, so we returned to Bornstein the same way we came.
Leonard was still on the road, and Ronan's small group of scouts scattered in the Bornstein Territory also had several minor frictions and collisions with the last defensive forces of the surrounding lords, but these were battles involving no more than a hundred people at most.
In this kind of battle, the more elite Ronan army was obviously stronger. After several defeats, the lords basically stopped sending small groups to try to compete with Ronan for information.
There was a stalemate here, but the battle became more intense on the Sidon Fortress side. Leon built a batch of improved siege ladders that were stronger and more numerous than last time and went into battle. He also made a large number of trebuchets and sent out
A large number of people quarried large quantities of stones from the mountains on both sides to use as bullets.
Due to the narrow area in front of the Sidon Fortress, Leon relied on his greater strength and organized the troops into four, each led by four generals. They took turns to harass and attack day and night, and only fought for a while at a time.
Take it down.
Then other troops who had rested would move forward to attack, and occasionally a real siege would be carried out.
As a result, the strength of the troops was greatly reduced, and part of the defensive equipment was destroyed by the covering fire of a large number of trebuchets of the Leon Army. The remaining defenders were also suppressed and unable to function. They were tired of coping and could not be divided into groups like the Leon Army.
Having to take so many shifts to rest was very draining on their physical strength and mental will.
If this continues for a period of time, perhaps Sidon Fortress will soon be breached by a sudden all-out attack by Leon.
And even when resting, Leon would ask the soldiers to sparsely throw stones at the Sidon Fortress, and throw them as high as possible, hoping that the stones would cross the wall and fall into the camp behind, thereby causing additional damage and disturbing the defenders.
Army rest.
Hebrew's tired hair seems to have turned a few gray in the past few days, and his face that was already a bit melancholy now looks even more melancholy. Although he is confident that he can still hold on for a long time in this situation, he can't stand it anymore.
Really tired.
On the other side, the Bornstein Territory, which had received Leonard's reinforcements, began to send troops to try to regain the territory occupied by Ronan. Ronan had no intention of fighting, and basically retreated all the way before contact, destroying things.
After destroying everything and leaving a mess for them, they retreated to the edge of the Marquis Territory.
As soon as Bornstein's troops left Ronan, they moved forward, and as soon as Ronan had the intention of counterattack, he retreated, so that Leonard would not dare to leave easily. Although Leonard did not want to fall into Ronan's rhythm like this
, but under Ronan's blatant conspiracy, they couldn't think of any solution for a while, so that their entire army could attack the city where Ronan was retreating. They didn't dare, after all, Ronan was on the cards now.
The strength is no worse than theirs.
On the other hand, something even worse happened for Sidon Fortress.
Meluses led a group of soldiers lying down in the bushes on the roadside. They were covered with thick haystacks and their faces were smeared with oil paint to match their black skin and armor. They lay there without moving.
If you look closely in front of you, you won't be able to spot it.
A convoy slowly drove over. It was the logistics supply team of the Sidon Fortress consisting of more than fifty carriages and hundreds of soldiers. It was sponsored by the major lords in the rear and supplied to the defenders of the Sidon Fortress.
food, arrows, weapons and other military supplies. The escort team was partly from the Sidonian fortress and partly the private soldiers of the lords.
Lord Ross is the largest sponsor of this batch of supplies, and his territory is also one of the fastest and safest roads to the Sidon Fortress. The Ross Territory, which is located within Leonard's sphere of influence, does not border any other hostile forces, but relax
Vigilance obviously comes with a price, and Meluseus and his warriors will soon teach them a lesson.
The carriage team drove slowly into the expected ambush location. Meluseus, who was lying on the roadside, held the spear beside him with one hand and tightened a rope with the other hand.
As the convoy completely drove into the ambush circle, Meluses suddenly roared and stood up from the bushes. The soldiers around him and across the road also suddenly burst into action. The thick ropes buried in the sand on the road suddenly followed the ambush.
The riders stood up and were pulled out of the sand, at a height just around the horses' calves.
