Rise In Calradia

　　 Under the fierce attack from the cavalry from the flanks, Rodok's spear phalanx began to fail.

　　 Seeing that Byron put all his troops into battle, the other mercenary leaders also issued offensive orders to the remaining troops, and even the reserve troops were put into battle.

　　 The combat effectiveness of the Rodok infantry is very powerful. But even so, these five or six hundred infantry and crossbowmen could not last long under the blows of almost two hundred cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry and crossbowmen above level 3.

　　 There was inevitably a crack in the formation. The cavalry of the brigade broke through the outer line of defense, drove straight into the square formation, brandishing weapons and killing the crossbowmen who had returned to the interior.

　　 However, there are still many spearmen who are still standing firm, using their spears to stab outwards, and stab the cavalry who ventured in.

The casualties of 　　 cavalry have exceeded one-fifth. If it hadn’t been for the fact that they had been stuck in the enemy’s line and had to bite the bullet and attack, I’m afraid these heavy cavalry would have already run away.

　　 However, the Baron is still ordering the offense, and he did not order the retreat because of the massive casualties of these mercenaries who are not in his own sequence.

　　Byron and Elaine can be regarded as having learned the true power of the Rodok phalanx, and they have experienced the horror of this iron turtle shell from the front.

　　 Even if you break through the first row of pikemen, there will be second and third rows of spears waiting for you. They are firm-willed, well-trained, able to withstand one-third of the loss without retreating, and surrounded by enemies three times their own without being timid.

　　 On both sides and behind the spearman, there will be Rodok's crossbowmen constantly shooting. At this distance, their heavy crossbow can fire a scale armor that wears a normal breastplate!

　　 Few of the mercenaries who launched the attack in the first two rows are alive, and the spirit of the soldiers behind them is also greatly reduced.

　　 If it weren’t for the cavalry unit on the other side to take advantage, the horses carrying flags in the formation of the flanks continued to collide back and forth to give these soldiers confidence that at least half of the soldiers would choose to retreat.

　　 At that time, more than a thousand people could be repelled or even eliminated by enemy forces equal to only half of them.

　　 Fortunately, the peony mercenaries are used to seeing blood, and the mixing of recruits and veterans has also increased the survival rate. Coupled with Byron's almost ruinous way of rewarding, these soldiers can maintain their strength and keep charging forward.

　　Byron took the lead. He asked John to follow him with his flag and spear, while he was holding a mace and banging on the shield of the opposite soldier.

　　 As long as the other party can't hold the shield securely, the soldiers next to Byron will take the opportunity to rush over and kill them.

　　 Byron’s horse was shot in the eye, but this was not the first time he fell off the horse. He rode on another horse that hired a rider next to him and continued to attack.

　　 Under the leadership of Byron, the morale of the Peony mercenaries was greatly boosted, and they charged harder.

　　 In this life-saving play, the soldiers quickly couldn't hold it. The front row of spearmen desperately blocked them, while the rest of the soldiers seized the opportunity to start retreating.

　　Once the formation is disintegrated, even elite soldiers like Sergeant Rodok will appear vulnerable under the lances and spears of the cavalry initiating the chase.

After dropping more than a hundred corpses and hundreds of seriously wounded men, Swadia’s soldiers and mercenaries finally rushed through the defensive lines of the Rhodok lancers and pressed them all on. To the ground.

　　 However, the Rhodok soldiers who evacuated backwards were helpless.

　　Only the cavalry with horses can catch up with those guys, and use long weapons to bring them up from behind.

　　 When the remaining Rhodoks re-entered the wall, their number had been cut by almost half. About one hundred and fifty of them died in battle or were in a state of dying, and less than one hundred were captured or chose to surrender after falling to the ground.

With 600 infantry and crossbowmen fighting against twice as many enemies as their own, and with close to 200 cavalry, well-equipped troops, they can also cause such casualties to the opponent and guarantee that half of them will withdraw. They did it really. It's pretty good.

　　 "Victory belongs to us!"

　　 Byron raised the blood-stained mace and shouted.

　　 The peony mercenaries also cheered. The soldiers were as usual. Some people stayed in front of them to guard, while the rest began to search for trophies from the corpses and captives.

　　 The scene fell into chaos for a time, and Byron was startled.

　　 The danger is still there. It's not a good time for these soldiers to become greedy at this time.

　　 And the Baron Boar waved a flag on the other side and ordered the troops to assemble. The hammer on the carriage was also taken down, and a crossbow bolt of the size of a short spear was installed on the bed crossbow.

　　Byron knew that the Baron still wanted to attack the wall, but Byron knew that it was impossible to succeed.

　　 He has fully learned the combat performance of Rodok soldiers, and the field is still so good, let alone defending against the wall?

　　 Obviously, the purpose of the baron was not really to take down the wall.

　　 Combining with the large-scale assembly of elite Swadia troops that Byron saw when he left the barracks before, Byron estimated that the mercenary force, including himself, was just a decoy, a decoy to bring out other important defense forces.

　　 And the subsequent deployment of the Baron made him confirm this point~www.readwn.com~ This adult doesn't seem to care about casualties, but only cares about whether the battle result is big enough to threaten the wider Rodok defense area.

　　 Under the baron's order, even the cavalrymen dismounted one after another, preparing to attack the wall.

　　 And a small group of light cavalry was also sent out to investigate other defensive areas

　　 He didn't know what big move the Kingdom wanted to do, but he wouldn't be happy with this arrangement.

　　 After all, he was only employed by Swadia, and there was no need to accompany all his belongings.

　　 After all, the price offered by the kingdom was not enough for him to catch the entire mercenary group.

　　 He took Fattis and Eleon over to ask the baron, but the other party only replied:

　　 "Obey orders, mercenaries."

　　Byron is a little helpless, and Kenrad also thinks that such an offense is not worth the loss.

　　 In the end, Byron sent all the infantry and crossbowmen, leaving behind the precious cavalry and their horses, as well as the women, so that they could take this opportunity to quickly clean the battlefield and carry the spoils.

　　 After a fierce and long battle, after more than a hundred soldiers were killed, Byron finally saw their soldiers step onto the wall and occupy a small part of the line of defense.

　　 And the scouts also brought back the news at this time, Swadia's elite troops and the three thousand Rhodok defenders have fought against each other.

　　 The mission is over, I'm just a little bit

　　 Both sides came prepared, and the Rhodoks also wanted to use walls and a small number of defenders as bait to attract Swadia to attack.

　　 In the end, Byron heard that the damage on both sides was not small, and the defense line in the forest has moved back a lot.

　　 No one took advantage, and the mercenaries who were used as bait were even more annoyed.
