Lord of Riders

Chapter 272: retreat

In Kudan City, the 10-meter-high wall was covered with blood. There were constant shouts of killing under the city wall. Dense arrows flew up and down, harvesting the lives of soldiers on both sides.

The archer's archery skills of the Virginia Archer can be called the best in the mainland, and the experienced Vigia Marksman can almost hit every arrow. One arrow down is a pirate wounded by a sharp arrow.

The surrounding area of ​​Kudan City was deserted. The pirates’ siege ladders were placed on the wall. There were hundreds of them. The pirates continued to attack from the ladders, either killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy. There were piles under the wall. A layer of corpses was full of pirates and some were Kudan’s defenders.

Four consecutive days of siege cost the Nords 30,000 casualties, but Kudan’s line of defense is almost about to be broken, but there are still many elite veterans who are still resisting, allowing the Nords to do it for a while. Can't take this Kudan city that has leaked everywhere.

"Look, your majesty, the Nords are going to attack again!"

Not long after the group of pirates was wiped out, another group from under Kudan surrounded him. The pirates' continuous rounds of attacking the city have exhausted the Kudan defenders.

Although there are still six or seven thousand defenders, many soldiers have no strength to pick up their weapons.

But the pirates would not stop attacking because of the fatigue of the Kudan defenders. On the contrary, the more tired the Kudan defenders, the more fierce the attacks of the pirates.

This time it was another group charge of two thousand Nord pirates. By virtue of their number advantage, the pirates continued to consume the fighting power of Kudan’s army. Now both sides are a little tired, but for Nord pirates, the city There are endless treasures waiting for them, so the attacks of the pirates are still very fierce.

The defenders on the city wall couldn't hold it a bit, and a hole was directly torn by the pirates at the east corner of the city wall, but after the Kudan soldiers desperately counterattacked, they quickly made up the hole.

The pirates once tore open the defense line of Kudan's defenders, and Shao Yu could also see from the side that Kudan's defenders could not support it.

"Your Majesty, should we go over and support them now! I'm afraid these Vigias are going to be unable to hold them anymore" Fatis and Shao Yu couldn't help but ask as they watched the war situation from a distance.

"It's not in a hurry, the Nord pirates will not be able to attack Kudan City in a short time" Shao Yu said in a hurry

Shao Yu observed the Nord Pirate’s troops, at least there are tens of thousands of troops. Now he has five hundred soldiers and horses. In the past, I am afraid that they were not enough for others. Although the Modao Knights have strong individual combat capabilities, In the face of tens of thousands of enemy troops, it is like a yak falling into an ice cave. It has no strength. Even without so many weapons, the enemy can hold down his hundreds of cavalry with his hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Fattis nodded after hearing this, and waited for the fighting strength in the distance with Shao Yu.

After such a long battle, Shao Yu felt that the Nord's pirates are now basically at the end of their crossbow. From the initial 100,000 pirates, it has almost been exhausted now. I am afraid that many of the 10,000 remnants are the troops of the Nord Kingdom.

The troop loss of the Kingdom of Virginia was equally serious, and the main army was almost completely wiped out. There are less than 20,000 veterans left. The rest of the troops were basically recruited later.

King Haraus took the opportunity to ask for the dominion of the Dehrim area from the Kingdom of Vaygia. King Yarogerk considered repeatedly. If Dehrim of the Kingdom of Swadia is not returned, the relationship between the two countries will be inevitable. In a stalemate, King Harrods might take the opportunity to attack him and take Dherim, and he will not be able to stop it at that time. What is more terrifying is that King Harrods supported Prince Vidim in a rage, Aroger The source of King Ke’s throne is very problematic. If Harous seizes the opportunity to support Prince Vidim, then his throne may not be preserved.

Now returning Dherim can give the Kingdom of Swadia a favor, and can also take the opportunity to invite the Kingdom of Swadia to send troops to deal with the Kingdom of Nord and the pirates.

In the end, King Yarogerk decided to return the rule of Dekhrim area to the Kingdom of Swadia, but in exchange, King Haraus wanted to send troops to support the Kingdom of Vigia.

In the end, King Haraus readily agreed, so that the Kingdom of Swadia could take back a large tract of land in the Dehrim area without a single soldier. And the price is to send troops to deal with the pirates who are now exhausted.

Shao Yu estimated that Kudan City would not fall easily, but he did not stand idly by. Shao Yu sent cavalry to investigate around, looking for the pirates who went out to plunder. Once found, he commanded his Modao knights to attack. Shao Yu searched for a long time near this Kudan city. Those scattered troops really found a lot. In just half a day, Shao Yu found three teams, two teams with 100 people, one team with three A hundred pirates, the number of these pirates was at a disadvantage, and their combat effectiveness was also at a disadvantage. Under the attack of Shao Yu's sword knights, the entire army was quickly destroyed.

The things they looted were all taken by Shao Yu. Although these things were raided by the pirates from the nearby Vigia village, Shao Yu was at ease when he took them. After all, they were all his own trophies.

Shao Yu's actions finally attracted the attention of Drake, the leader of these pirates. Since yesterday, nearly two thousand pirates who went out to looting have not returned. From the news brought back by a small number of pirates who escaped today, it is inferred that there is a powerful cavalry force near Kudan City that has been active here. , And the recent disappearance of the raiding team must also be related to this cavalry unit.

The sky gradually darkened ~www.readwn.com~ Under Drake's order, the pirates stopped their attack.

One day’s battle consumed more than 3,000 pirates, and the defenders suffered more than half of the casualties. They were almost unable to defend. But Drake had a bad premonition. Now his forces are running out, and Drake has become too. Be careful.

The number of these troops under Drake is just a number in Drake's view. He will not pity the lives and deaths of these soldiers, but Drake does not want to explain himself here. Now Drake has only five or six thousand people. Recently, The constant loss of contact with the troops that went out made Drake feel very uneasy. For Drake, Shao Yu's cavalry was a killer hiding in the dark.

Drake did not know Shao Yu’s camp and number, but what Drake knew was that the strength of the Shao Yu cavalry team should not be underestimated. Drake was a very cautious person. The location of the king. Drake didn't want to take his own safety to take the risk of Shao Yu's hidden threat.

After some thinking, Drake chose to withdraw his troops overnight.

Although Drake overestimated Shao Yu’s strength, his vigilance finally saved him. Soon after Drake retreated, three thousand cavalry from the Kingdom of Swadia arrived outside Kudan.
