Mount and Blade

Chapter 124 Adonis

"Purple Rhino Paladin, retreat!!"

Seeing that the situation was almost reversed, and the Black Sheep and Black Wolf Knights were about to enter the battlefield to cover their retreat, Bosgo led his Knights to retreat.

"Wu!!" "Go!"

"Hey, hahaha, Midland's cowards!!"

While retreating, the group of soldiers did not forget to mock the Midland soldiers, a group of weak and bullied lambs.

It's a pity that the Midland soldiers had no time to catch their breath, and even the anger that was about to brew had not been cursed out before they were completely frightened by the rush of Black Sheep Heavy Cavalry and Black Wolf Knights, and there were signs of rout.

"Damn it, it's too much bullying, you lead 200 White Tiger Knights to go around and encircle these cavalry that are disrupting our front line."

"Understood, sir." A White Tiger Knight took the order.

"You, take all the heavy cavalry that followed and prepare to encircle and pursue."

"Yes!" Another deputy general took the order and rode to gather soldiers.

"It's really abominable. I thought that the bastards of Joda would withdraw quickly after seeing the king's flag. At the very least, we could take the opportunity to repel them! In order to arrive at the battlefield earlier, there were not many heavy cavalry that followed by shipping!"

When has Tedwood ever suffered such a cowardly humiliation, being mocked by the enemy generals, but no one could stop him!

"Don't blame yourself, Lord Tedwood, I was too anxious for a while."

King Yulivi said calmly. Although he was also a little angry in his heart, as a king he could not show his emotions. In any case, he should appease a subordinate who always cares about him, and not let the soldiers around him feel cold.

Just as the Jodah army began to retreat, the Midland soldiers guarding the city wall gradually repelled the Jodah people who were attacking like a tide. When they saw the support from the royal city, they felt relieved and cheered. They finally looked forward to the hope of victory.

Apparently, Laban, Yuris and others also received the news from the battlefield. Green followed Kadi and the White Dragon Knights and Tumer and Aclo Knights to go out of the city to chase the cavalry left behind by Jodah.

"Tsk, every time I have to clean up this mess."

Under the elegant black and gold armor, a middle-aged man with a relatively fat figure was mumbling his fat lips and complaining.

"Captain Heron, the scouts report that the three major knights of Midland are gathering at the Erda Fortress."

"Tsk, how can I not hear such a loud noise? Idiot."

Heron angrily blamed his subordinates who had no vision. He was unwilling to waste his knights to do such a thankless task. Besides, he and his old rival were fighting fiercely in secret. It was not a wise choice to lose his private soldiers at this time.

It was not until the three major knights of Midland rushed into the flanks of the Black Wolf Knights and the Black Sheep Heavy Cavalry that Heron, cunning and treacherous, led the Serpent Attack Knights to cut into the battlefield, without having to bear the losses of the opponent's charge.

The open and secret struggles between the nobles in Judah have been going on for a long time, but even so, Midland has not been able to achieve a key victory.

It is obvious that after nearly a hundred years of fighting between the two countries, the political situation of each other is comparable.

Not to mention that the old King Jodah's health is getting weaker and weaker, several princes are secretly fighting for the throne, and the nobles have taken sides; even Midland is not much better. Since the death of the former queen, the current king of Midland has not given birth to a new heir with the current queen. There is only one Princess Sharlut as the orthodox royal bloodline.

However, recently I heard that Yuris, one of the royal family members, and his wife Anna gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, Yuris is still in the battlefield of Erda Fortress and cannot rush back to reunite with mother and son.

Yuris, who has just become a father, is still quite happy. After all, his White Dragon Knights finally have successors. Since the young master was born in spring, it was just in time for the busy sowing season, so Yuris asked the deputy general who followed him to go back and report the news. The child's name is Adonis.

If it weren't for the prohibition of alcohol during the war, Juris would have wanted to drink to his heart's content. The meals for the whole Knights that night were much richer, but it was a feast for a period when supplies were more difficult.

Of course, the few meats were all obtained from the old man Shet's granary and the lord's kitchen.

Under pressure from Midland, Joda's army retreated fifty miles. Because Heron deliberately rushed to the rear after the Black Wolf and Black Sheep Knights were attacked, the Black Sheep Iron Spear Heavy Cavalry Regiment suffered heavy losses. General Keen's background was not very good, and he dared not speak out and despised Heron.

The Black Wolf Knights were second, with nearly one-fifth of the knights and followers lost. The leader, Langdon, was extremely dissatisfied. He didn't expect Bosco to arrange Heron, who was against him, to support him. It was like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth. He remembered this grudge! !

If Alton, the leader of the Blue Whale Knights, had not changed his route on his own initiative and was ambushed, it would have been Alton and his Blue Whale Knights who had done this task.

.........

The following days were spent cleaning the battlefield, carrying corpses, and holding prisoners to wait for ransom from the small nobles. Since it was the busy farming season, the prisoners were collectively sent to repair the city wall. It was a big project to repair such a tall city wall. Grandpa Shet could only send more soldiers from the lower levels to carry stones and build the wall.

The arrival of reinforcements means that supply will no longer be difficult. Excluding the standing army stationed in the capital, the reinforcements brought by the king total more than 80,000 people, and there are still 15,000 garrisons in the city of Shet, but there are less than 1,000 heavy cavalry and 200 light cavalry.

The infantry led by Laban has only more than 1,000 people left after several battlefields, 800 archers, and almost all heavy and light cavalry have been wiped out. Together with the three major knights, there are more than 3,000 people, a total of 5,000 people.

At present, the knights who followed the king's team have also joined the team one after another to supplement the lack of combat power.

Several high-level officials in the kingdom gathered together, and immediately entered the main fortress of the Erda Fortress for a combat meeting after the reunion. Scouts also sent news from time to time. Except for the 20,000 garrisons and wounded in the Erda Fortress who could not attack, all the troops were invested to deal with the Joda people. After all, if they pursued now, the Joda people's supply line was long, which was most suitable for raids, which was beneficial to Midland.

There are nearly 25,000 heavy cavalry in the 80,000-man army, many of which are hired mercenaries, which has reduced the burning, killing and looting of bandit groups in Midland, and the farmers can farm with peace of mind.

"Pursue the victory!!"
