Rise In Calradia

Chapter 135: : Looting the convoy

   Mr. Byron became His Excellency Byron, and Byron was proud of his class promotion for several days.

   In addition to wandering around in the barracks, I listened to ordinary soldiers calling him Lord Byron.

   That feeling is really cool!

   But the business is still going to be done. After collecting enough information, Byron and the others have confirmed several roads that the Rhodok Northern Transport Team usually takes.

   These roads are basically behind Rodok’s defense zone, and it takes some thought to go around.

   Fortunately, Serendil has been taken by the kingdom, and half of the surrounding villages are also controlled by the Swadian army.

  Rodok’s northern border defenses were therefore vacant, and Byron and the others could take advantage of this vacancy.

   Byron immediately summoned his cavalry troops. In order not to affect the marching speed, they did not use carriage this time, and brought ten more camels to consign supplies.

More than a hundred cavalrymen poured into the forest on the border, passing through many Rodok outposts destroyed by the Kingdom of Swadia, and arriving near the road often passed by the Rodok transport team before they were stationed nearby. .

   Dozens of light cavalry were scattered directly, even in the forest, the combat effectiveness of these light cavalry will not be greatly affected.

   They divided into groups and shuttled through the forest. Once they found traces of a brigade of horses and horses passing by recently, they would send one or two people back to report.

   The only Swadia army carrying out missions here is Byron and the others, so the other large-scale teams passing by here are the targets of Byron and the others.

Soon, a small group set off from Veluga, and the convoy transporting fresh vegetables and fruits to the front was discovered by Byron’s scouts. Fatis had no objection to attacking the supply convoy of Rhodok’s army, and he brought him personally. Fifty cavalry attacked that unit, and except for a mercenary rider who was shot through the throat with a heavy crossbow and lost his life, they did not cause any other casualties.

   They killed seven Rhodoks, and the remaining eight soldiers and a few stablemen also directly surrendered.

   Although it is far less insurance to capture opponents in the enemy’s territory than to kill them directly, Fatis still felt that it would be more beneficial for them to capture a few prisoners, whether it was out of chivalry or practical interests. So Byron captured them, removed their weapons and armor, tied their hands and placed them on the back of the packhorse.

   As for the supplies, Byron took away most of them, ruining the rest into an inedible state.

After returning to the temporary camp in the forest, the peony mercenaries improved their food. They slaughtered a lame workhorse snatched from the Rhodok transport team, and then enjoyed the viruga transport. The vegetables and fruits that came, and the wine prepared for the nobles in the castle.

   Two days later, another group of convoys supplying arrows and food to the front was also discovered by Byron and the others.

   The number of this team exceeds one hundred, and half of them are heavy infantry. They also have several caravan escorts on horseback, used to detect and pass messages.

  Byron and the others divided into two groups and surrounded them in the forest. Kress and Desaiwei led the crossbowmen and Nord soldiers to quickly eliminate the Rhodok soldiers who were guarding the periphery, and then killed the cavalry with crossbows and throwing axes.

After   , the frontally attacking soldiers dismounted and formed an infantry array. The Rhodoks immediately hid behind the carriage to form a defensive pair, and raised their spears and crossbows.

   Byron’s soldiers cautiously launched an attack, and the attention of the Rodok soldiers was focused on them. After the loss of five soldiers, the sound of horseshoes finally sounded behind the Rodok team. Many people turned around to defend, but the cavalry galloped in the nearby forest, surrounding them.

  Looking at the cavalry units running back and forth in the forest, the Rhodok soldiers couldn't figure out how many enemies there were. They began to spread out the defense, and their positions became chaotic.

   Byron's crossbowmen also advanced close enough at this time, and shot arrows all at once.

   The Rhodok soldiers who were in confusion suffered from the enemy's back, and killed more than ten people in the rain of arrows.

The experienced heavy cavalry behind also took the opportunity to launch an attack. They formed a simple cone formation in the woods under the command of Kenrad. The Dok Spearman simply couldn't stop the impact of such a multitude of cavalry, and the horse caravan was broken into two pieces as a result.

The cavalry around    also began to shrink the encirclement, and javelins and flail flew all over the sky for a while.

   "surrender! If you surrender, we promise not to kill you!"

  Byron shouted to hope that the other party would surrender, but the only response to him was the roar of Sergeant Rodok.

   "The ghost will surrender, you Swadia scumbags all go to death!"

   When the sergeant finished speaking the last word, Bandak’s crossbow bolt shot through the helmet.

   Although only the arrow shot into the head because of the helmet's obstruction, the arrow directly killed the sergeant.

   Bandak regards Byron as his captain and his friend. He would not forgive those who insulted his friends, even if they were the same Rhodoks.

   "Captain! Damn Yankee..."

   After the death of the sergeant ~www.readwn.com~ his deputy immediately made up his position. He roared, shouted, and tried his best to gather the remaining troops.

   "Hold on, brothers! Reinforcements will be here soon, we..."

   Before he could finish his words, Desaiwei's cone-headed arrow shot into his eye and came out of the back of his head.

   The second in command also fell, and none of the remaining Rodok soldiers could continue to assume the duties of captain.

Eleon also jumped off the horse at this time, brandishing the Moonblade Axe and rushing into the Rodok soldiers. Under the chaotic axe, even those senior Rodok spearmen in heavy armor, Unable to insist on a few tricks under his big axe.

   Under his leadership, the dismounted cavalry and a small number of elite infantry brought by Byron also rushed into the formation of the Rodoks, tearing the team completely to pieces.

   The battle was fierce. Although the Rhodoks were at a disadvantage, they persisted for a long time.

   When there were only a dozen wounded soldiers left, they finally chose to surrender surrounded by the Peony mercenaries.

   After World War I, ten people were killed and more than ten injured, and the losses were all soldiers above level 3. The losses were not small.

   Originally, if Byron could take these things away, he could still make a lot of money. However, what the former Rhodok sergeant said was true, and there was indeed Rhodok's reinforcements not far from here.

   When the scouts came back to report, they were only ten minutes away from the Peony Mercenaries.

  Byron took only part of the arrows in the end, and then gathered the carriages and set a fire, and watched the fire burn on each carriage.

   As for the seized equipment, only part of it can be taken away. But in general, the gain is not small.
