The South County leader of the Principality of Xiongshi is now divided into two parts. Half of it was occupied by Baron Kant, who built a large fortress, Jieerkala, and the other half was occupied by the five world noble families and nearly a hundred upper-class nobles of the Lion Principality.
In the beginning, Rolf led 5,000 soldiers to garrison the large fortress of Jielkala. However, in the past two months, there have been frequent army transfers in Kant's territory, and most of their destinations are Jieerkala in the southern county. Large fortress.
Just yesterday, when Kant received that the upper-class nobles of the South County were about to send troops to aid the Lion Castle, he also issued an order to Rolf.
"Leading the army from north to south, attacking one castle manor after another, destroying the noble families of the South County, and confiscating their property at the same time."
These are Kant's orders to Rolf.
Rolf's military talent is unquestionable, so Kant can rest assured that he alone leads the army all the way. The most important thing is that in the past two months, as soldiers from Drehem, Aaron, Sagos, and Veluja have been gathering towards Jerkala, Jerkala's strength is already very strong at this time.
Moreover, there is no shortage of extraordinary power. In the past two months, the newly promoted Swadia Royal Knights, Sarion Lion Knights, and Ernfas Empire Mages have all been dispatched to Jelka by Kant.
Kant had long expected the scenario of being an enemy of the entire South County leader at this time, and had also formulated several combat routes. If the upper nobles of the South County were not dragged into the water by the Cameron family, Kant only needed to deal with the families of five world nobles, and Kant had to lead the team himself to deal with them, so only his army was enough.
At the same time, Kant also made plans for the upper nobles of Nanjun to be his enemies, just like the situation at this time. Faced with this situation, Kant's battle line is that he and Rolf go south and north, and take a two-pronged approach. This can greatly speed up the speed of conquest.
When Kant deployed an army again to attack Lion Castle, Rolf also led the army on the journey.
200 Swadia Royal Knights, 200 Sarion Lion Knights, 200 Ernfas Empire Mages, a total of 600 extraordinary powers. 2,000 Swadian sergeants, 2,000 Mamluks, 1,500 elite desert bandits, and 500 crossbowmen for each of the three fifth-level arms.
The above is the strength of the army led by Rolf. Although the number of extraordinary forces of the sixth-level arms is a little less, the number of fourth-level and fifth-level arms is sufficient. The entire army has 7,600 soldiers and is quite powerful. Even if they are enemies with dozens of upper-class nobles at the same time, they can still crush them head-on. Kant only needs Rolf to be in charge of the upper nobles. He will cook for the world's nobles himself.
Before the Lion Castle, the battle started again.
The gate of the Lion Castle is very strong. Last night, the stone golem carried the siege machinery and bombarded it for half an hour until the summoning time ran out, but it did not shake the gate of the Lion Castle. After all, this castle is the first fortress of the Lion Principality, and its defense capability is extremely strong.
This time, Kant sent Rhodok sergeants to bombard the gate of Lion Fort with heavy and sturdy siege logs. At the same time, 800 Rhodok sniper shooters suppressed the archers of Lion Fort in the towers and battlements from bottom to top through the advantage of range. As soon as the archers on the towers and battlements show their heads, they will be shot by a terrific siege crossbow immediately, and their death is extremely miserable and terrifying.
The archers on the towers and battlements of Lion Castle were severely suppressed and suffered heavy casualties. However, these archers are also very capable. Even though the number of sacrifices continues to increase, there are still a steady stream of archers from the Lion Castle who continue to climb the towers and battlements, risking being shot by the siege crossbow. Shoot Sergeant Rhodok.
"Why are those crossbowmen so elite, they almost never fail?" On the top of the tower, an archer huddled under the wall said to himself in a dignified tone. On his left and right sides, there was a corpse lying on the ground. The two corpses died in an extremely miserable condition. Their heads were completely blown off, and the ground was covered with blood and white brains.
But soon, two archers stooped to the two sides of the archer and filled the vacancy.
"Soldiers, sharp arrows, hurry up! Listen to my order, let's shoot arrows together! The target is the enemy at the city gate!" At this moment, the captain of the archer brigade gave the order.
"One, two, three, probe and shoot arrows!" After counting three digits, the captain of the archer brigade immediately gave the order to shoot.
The moment the archer heard the order, without the slightest hesitation, he quickly stood up and shot the bow and arrow he had prepared towards the city gate. The position was shot, and then quickly retracted. It was because of his vigilance that he was able to survive the rounds of siege crossbows and arrows of the enemy.
However, Lady Luck doesn't favor the same person forever.
This time, when the archer's arrow shot out, a crossbow arrow hit his head at a speed beyond his imagination. The archer escaped many times and attracted the attention of a certain Rhodok sniper shooter, so the Rhodok sniper shooter aimed the siege crossbow in his hand above the archer, quietly Waiting for him to probe again. Sure enough, he was killed by one arrow.
boom! boom! boom!
Sergeant Rhodok carried two siege logs, one left and one right slammed into the gate of Lion Castle.
It’s just that the gates of the Lion’s Castle are very strong. Even if the force of the Rhodok sergeant carrying the battering log is far greater than the strength of the stone golem carrying the battering log to bombard the gate of the Lion’s Castle, it can only slightly shake the lion. The gate of the fort cannot even shake greatly.
However, gathering sand into a tower, water dripping through a stone. No matter how strong the gate of the Lion Castle was, it couldn't withstand the strong impact of two siege logs. As long as it persisted, it would definitely be able to knock it open.
Half an hour passed.
Sergeant Rhodok was targeted by the archers on the towers and battlements, and lost more than 30 of them, but the losses of these archers were even more severe, with a total loss of seven or eight hundred.
"My lord, there is no way to go on like this! The enemy's siege soldiers have very strong defenses, and they can often shoot down the arrows shot by our soldiers with their infantry swords, but their crossbowmen almost always shoot without fail." An archer general complained bitterly to Baron Ryan Isai Cameron: "If this continues, there will be no archers stationed in your fief."
At this time, every time the siege log hit the gate of Lion Castle, the shaking of the gate was much more violent than at the beginning. However, it may take at least two hours to actually break open the city gate.
There was a flash of thought in Kant's eyes, and suddenly a strategy appeared in his mind, which could greatly speed up the speed at which the city gate was opened.
