Chapter two hundred and thirty eight things are not going well
But his plan failed. Ronan reacted very quickly. After noticing his movement, he immediately leaned back and stretched out a hand to directly grab the blade of the sword he was stabbing at. The friction between the sword blade and the hand armor caused a burst of fierce sparks.
, and then was stopped by Ronan's strong grip, unable to continue thrusting forward.
Ronan's expression was slightly angry, and then he broke the long sword directly from the crack made by the previous chop. Then Ronan let go of the hand that was still holding the hilt of his long sword, and fiercely struck the sword.
The knight punched him in the face, causing his head to fall back. Ronan then used the hand holding the broken sword to strike at the knight's chin, which was exposed due to his leaning back.
Stab in place.
Blood spurted out from his chin, staining the knight's breastplate red, and blood spurted out from inside his faceplate. He was not dead yet, but his trachea was cut and he was no longer able to survive.
Breathing, he loosened his grip on the hilt of the broken sword and let it fall to the ground. Then he held it for a while, and then his whole body was moved by Ronan pulling out the long sword embedded in his shoulder.
And without support it fell.
Seeing him still struggling to breathe in pain, the anger in Ronan's heart gradually disappeared, and he turned his sword and stabbed down to end his pain. Then Ronan slashed several enemy soldiers who were escaping in haste, and the entire canyon
There was no enemy left standing within.
The Rhodok soldiers were checking the corpses, gathering the enemy corpses together, and using their spears to patch up those who were not dead. The friendly corpses were transported to the rear, and they would be taken away by horse-drawn carriages to find a place later.
Burial.
"Very good, the first phase of the plan has been completed. The strength of the Leon Army has been further weakened. They are now at the end of their strength. Our winning rate is as high as 70%. The next difficulty is how to annihilate them in this
Here instead of letting them escape back to the east.
After all, their mental endurance should have reached the limit. If they are further suppressed, they will very likely return to the east, and there will still be a lot of trouble in the future." Magna said.
"Well, they should catch up with Meluses and Bornhard soon. If they can't do it by then, they can just launch a decisive battle. Yesefa and Eranikus are already on their way back. The Southern Nobles Alliance
The people and Aldridge are about to be in place. This is basically our strongest strength. I hope those guys in the north will not cause trouble for us!" Ronan closed his eyes and said.
"No one can say for sure, we can only take a gamble. After all, we don't know that old fox Mayweather very well, but it is said that they are fighting with the Sandland Tribe again, so they should have no time to harass us.
!" Magna was not very confident.
Two days later, the few supplies left by the Leon army were once again consumed a lot. At this time, the remaining supplies were estimated to be frugal and could only last less than twenty days. This was also because of the number of their troops.
Reduced somewhat.
They finally caught up with the fleeing civilians in front of them, but unfortunately, half a day before they were about to catch up, Bornhard took the civilians he led into a city in the Arden Territory.
Yalanti City is a city named after the wife of the noble lord who originally built it.
Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Leon took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart to prevent it from surging. In just a short time, those guys found a place to stay. After all, Leon still suffered from not understanding the terrain this time.
of loss.
"Phew, prepare to attack! We don't have much supplies and we must capture it as soon as possible. If we can't capture it in two days, we will return directly!" Leon closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying.
Barbossa nodded, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to deploy the troops. Time was tight and there was no time to prepare siege equipment for them. Except for some trebuchets that had been disassembled and pulled by carriages and reassembled.
.
This time the siege could only use the most primitive and simple siege method, that is, a large force pressed forward and only used ladders to climb the city wall to launch the attack.
On the city wall, Meluses was holding a spear and silently looking at the Leon army that was being deployed in the distance. Standing next to him was Bornhard.
"Then I'll leave the city wall to you, General Meluses. I won't let you mess with my little arms and legs. Come on! The most critical moment has arrived. Whether you can hold on before the lord arrives will be the key.
It’s up to you!”
After finishing speaking with a smile, Bornhard went under the city wall. Meluses nodded silently, turned around and said to the soldiers beside him:
"The time has come to be loyal to the lord! Soldiers, pick up the weapons in your hands and prepare to fight. Don't forget that there are tens of thousands of civilians in the city. We must defend this city! Go and prepare!"
After this period of training, those black people already have some military literacy. After all, although Ronan's training method does not increase combat ability very much, it does a great job in strengthening discipline and coordination.
And after this period of recuperation and good food, the bodies of these black people, who had been deliberately made malnourished by the slave owners, have recovered a lot, and their innate physical advantages have also been fully utilized.
When they started training with the civilian troops, it was difficult to win, but now they can win more and lose less.
The low sound of the horn spread throughout the battlefield, and the trebuchets launched a synchronized attack, projecting huge stones one after another.
"Hidden!" Meluses roared loudly, then raised the shield above his head and leaned against the wall to huddle under the shield as much as possible.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The stones hit the city wall and shattered. This city is very old, so many of the city wall stacks are not that strong.
There was a city wall that was unlucky enough to be hit by several stones in succession, and finally exploded under the load. A soldier hiding behind it was unable to dodge and was hit in the head by a piece of gravel. Other soldiers were also hit by trebuchets.
Stones fell and flew to the bottom of the city wall.
"Drive them back!" The ladder was put up on the city wall, and the trebuchet's attack slowed down a little. Meluses immediately stood up straight, picked up a piece of gravel next to him and threw it under the ladder.
With stones, rolling logs, hot oil, and rockets, Meluses and the defenders used all possible means to attack the soldiers who boarded the city. Meluses also specially arranged some very strong soldiers to attack with big axes.
Cut off the hooks used to fix the enemy's ladder on the city wall, and then overthrow the entire ladder.
