Chapter 568: Counterattack from Harlengosberg

Seeing the Fatis cavalry disappear at the end of the woods, going deep into the woods to chase after Lady Aisona's royal guards, Zhang Qiang turned around. Behind him, Zhou Porridge was instructing the farmers of the logistics troops to dismantle the castle, tents, and the captives in the soldiers. Under the threat of their knives and guns, carrying the seized trophies and even food that could not be loaded into the car, they drove out of the castle one by one and headed towards Harlengosberg.

Although less than 500 of Zhang Qiang's 800 elite troops were consumed in this battle, and Earl Glenward's troops were only 400, but more than 900 enemies were captured and wiped out. After killing more than 10 enemies and capturing [-] intact Flying Harriers, Zhang Qiang was going to let Sebastian and Francois study and copy them after returning to his own territory.

This thing is much more powerful than your own heavy ballista, it can hit the enemy's castle, but the heavy ballista can only hit the enemy's dense formation, and destroy the enemy's large group of troops by covering and shooting.

Although Zhang Qiang also has a long-range catapult, but that thing is not accurate. If you hit the wall in front of the enemy, you may hit the enemy's city, or hit the east, west or something. You must accurately hit a place, and then It is basically impossible to blow down the enemy's city wall. You can only smash countless gaps in the enemy's city wall. You still have to use a ladder to attack the city, and the ants will attack the city, which will cause greater damage.

With the Flying Harrier, the way of fighting in the future will be the same as that written in some time-traveling novels. You can use copper cannons to slowly blast the enemy's city wall, and then swarm in from the gap to play street fighting.

This time Zhang Qiang is planning to go to Harlengosberg to experiment.

My purpose this time was to fight Harlengosberg.

The troops were moving slowly, and returned to the city of Harlengosberg from the original road when it was dark, watching the Harlencosburg that was built by several generations, and the reinforced 15-meter-high stone and clay mixed with glutinous rice Zhang Qiang felt that it would take a long time to chew the bone of the stone castle built. The question is, will Mrs. Isona and Earl Crags give themselves so much time?
Haruncosburg has a long, long history, and it has been occupied, but that was a long time ago. The Rhodoks have captured it several times, but since the Rhodoks were driven into the mountains , and never captured the castle again.

Even though Graves was freer and smarter than Harolds, and the Rhodoks' infantry combat effectiveness, especially their siege skills, was higher, but they never came down from Kurmar Castle and captured it again.

Even if Earl Getlas and Count Cunha are wiser and braver, they can only come out of the Veruga Plain to compete with Earl Starma for the city of Uxhall, or fight for the city of Uxhall between Agorron Castle and Georgia. The tug-of-war with the Kingdom of Swadia near Ruen Ward Castle has always been like this, mainly because they have no cavalry and their legs are too short. When they go down to the highlands and plains, even if they can beat an earl, they will soon be defeated. After being overtaken by the army of the kingdom, and then ravaged by the cavalry, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia are very powerful.

The night is quiet, on the top of the city wall of Hallengosberg, the soldiers of the Swadia Kingdom guarding the castle should be soldiers of the Swadia Empire now, because they supported Lady Aisona, and Lady Aisona She has always claimed to be the daughter of the king who continued the Swadia Empire, and declared that she is the queen of the Swadia Kingdom. The Swadia Kingdom should actually be the Swadia Empire. She wants to restore Swadia The glory of the empire's unification of Calradia.

At present, the troops besieging Harlengosburg are only in the early [-]s, which also includes the logistics and transport troops. Ever since he owned his own territory, Zhang Qiang has been fighting against the army of the lord, providing the lord's army with food, food, and venting for the soldiers. Disgusted by the women's accompanying merchants, and concerned about their efficiency and the threat to the secrecy of their troops' marches, they established their own logistics forces, the first of its kind in Calradia, and all warring lords There is no precedent for establishing a logistics force.

The troops that can surround Zhang Qiang are all Zhang Qiang's direct troops. In addition, they have difficulty walking and cannot attack the enemy's scattered troops, such as cavalry and knights. Their own troops are scattered all over the mountains and fields, chasing the scattered Madam Aisona's troops. went.

A scout cavalry rode up and ran in front of Zhang Qiang, "My lord, according to our reconnaissance, there are 200 city guards in Harlengosberg, and 300 lord troops. It is estimated that they have fled to Swadi in the city one after another. There are about 200 soldiers from the Sub-Empire, and the rest are fleeing in the direction of Suno."

Zhang Qiang looked back at the majestic Harlengosberg, and waved away the scout cavalry.

He ordered the siege of Harlengosberg and prepared to attack the city.

The captured Flying Harrier was pushed out, facing the impact of the bed crossbow and catapult on the city wall, and violently bombarded the city wall. The catapult behind it was being assembled quickly, and the farmers who were forcibly recruited from Nimega Village felled trees. , looking for stones everywhere, driven by the scout cavalry, busy nervously.

Suddenly, the drawbridge at the gate of Hallengosberg was lowered, the jack gate under the gate was twisted, and a group of cavalry rushed out from the gate. A group of farmers, mercenaries, merchants, Swadian recruits, light infantry, and some Swadian guards rushed towards the flying harrier position hundreds of meters from the city wall.

Without waiting for Zhang Qiang's order, Knight James led a small group of cavalry and rushed up, Bundak and Caitlin also rushed up with a group of infantry from the supply troop, and the two sides strangled each other about 100 meters in front of the Flying Harrier position. Together.

Zhang Qiang looked back and saw that the catapult had been assembled. He waved his hand, and about five long-distance modified catapults focused their fire on the city wall that had been bombarded by the flying harrier.

About half an hour later, Wei Wuji and Zhou Porridge and the others ran back, sweating profusely, their armor was a bit messy, and their troops had lost some strength, but from the long string of captives tied behind them, it was clear that they had beaten a large number of soldiers. Come back victorious.

After they returned, Zhang Qiang's army increased to 1000 men.

Taking off the armor on his body, Wei Wuji said to Zhang Qiang: "Guess what we caught?"

Zhang Qiang smiled and shook his head. He never wanted to use his brain to guess what others asked him to guess. Unless it was unavoidable, Wei Wuji rolled his eyes helplessly, as if saying to Zhang Qiang: "You are so boring," and then said loudly : "We captured the enemy's counts, the counts of Rafazi and Rutgers."

"Wow, that's good news." Zhang Qiang clapped his hands and shouted.

Wei Wuji and Zhou Porridge showed smug smiles on their faces.

After a while, Chen Faqiao also ran back. He brought fifty or sixty NPC soldiers of his own. It seemed that he had also experienced a lot of fighting. There were only more than 20 people left. He captured several enemy baron nobles and captured Some military horses have a good harvest.

The battle at the gate of the city is still going on. The enemy seems to be fighting very tenaciously. James and the others are in a passive state. The enemy's soldiers are not high in rank, but their combat effectiveness is very tenacious. This may be because Harlencosburg is the city of Harlem. In the old territory of the Lengos family, the people here are very loyal to the Harlengos family. Although they are at a disadvantage, their morale is very high, and they fight very tenaciously, causing James and the others to suffer a lot. A lot of damage.

Zhang Qiang ordered the messenger to let the infantry and a group of archers go up to support.

At this time, the enemy rushed out from the other two gates in two groups. There were not many people, about 200 people in each gate, but they were high-ranking soldiers with great combat effectiveness. Coming over, Zhang Qiang had to invest more troops.

At noon, the enemy increased their troops to the outside of the city again, but Zhang Qiang's Flying Harrier had run out of ammunition, and with the cooperation of the catapult, it smashed down the city wall about ten meters wide, and then had to be pulled back to rest and change. Put on the heavy crossbow cart, ordinary bed crossbow, suppress the enemy's sharp archers at the top of the city, and at the same time support the troops fighting under the city.

Casualties are on the rise, Zhang Qiang's troops are more than half smaller than the enemy's, and the enemy is sitting on a fortified city, and the counterattack is also very fierce, and they have a slight upper hand. , Zhang Qiang had no choice but to rush up to fight with his general guard, and first repel the enemy's counterattack troops out of the city.

The enemy's casualties were higher than Zhang Qiang's. More than 600 people were killed, and more than 300 people were wounded and captured. However, there were still about 500 enemies in the city fighting against Zhang Qiang's 500 soldiers. There are more than [-] to [-] people. Zhang Qiang feels that the enemy's strength is continuous. Maybe they recruited a large number of prisoners, maybe they recruited the merchants who accompanied the army and the citizens who stopped in the city, and threw them into the battlefield. In short, the two sides fought to the death. For a while, it was impossible to tell the winner, but after a long time, Zhang Qiang knew that he was in the enemy's territory, and he might be attacked by the lord who came to support him from other directions at any time. The combat effectiveness will be lost, and when the time comes, they will have to leave their baggage and flee lightly.

Whether he can escape back to the territory is still a question.

The journey is too far, you have to go through Su Nuo or Uxhall, and you have to go through the Veruga Plain Valley to go to the Rhodok Kingdom, unless you walk by the sea, you have to go over the mountains to get to Jerkala, first let me say Whether the Rhodoks allow themselves to enter the country, even if they allow themselves to enter the country, they still have to deal with the attacks of criminals hiding in the mountains that are plentiful on the road.

If you are unlucky, you might even meet a dark knight or a dark hunter who appeared out of nowhere, and that would be even more unlucky.
