Ten days after Alonso III issued the mobilization order, Kent Town lost its previous calm. [] You must know that the nobles’ territories are all over the country, some are far away from Kent Town, and some are very close.
.This naturally led to the arrival of the nobles' armies in Kent Town in a sequence of time. The noble troops whose two territories were closest to Kent Town were the enemy troops that arrived first.
As Roger's neighbors, these two nobles naturally knew very well about the prosperity of Kent Town and had long coveted this town. However, because they were all nobles of the same kingdom in the past, although these two nobles had a crush on Roger,
He was jealous in every possible way, but he didn't have the guts to openly send troops to rob Kent Town.
However, the situation is different now. His Majesty the King declared Roger a traitor and issued a national mobilization order. This means that it is not only legal to send troops to attack Kent Town, but will even be rewarded by the king. Such a good deed made the two nobles
They were so excited that they organized an army and marched towards Kent Town overnight. They wanted to capture Kent Town before everyone else, so that they could be the first to plunder the extremely rich town. These were two nobles
Something I've wanted to do for a long time.
There is an old saying on earth that "people die for wealth", which is also very suitable in the world of Toulonzo. These two nobles who were dazzled by wealth did not even think about it. Even Alonso III had to issue a mobilization order to deal with them.
Roger, why can they capture Kent Town just by relying on these soldiers?
Although these two nobles could not pose any threat to Roger at all, they at least kicked off the war. When they rushed to Kent Town with thousands of soldiers who had tried every means to get together, they discovered that
The opponent has been preparing for the battle for a long time, and the previous idea of taking the town in one go seems a bit unrealistic.
But even so, these two nobles still had no intention of giving up. Both of them were veteran nobles who had been running their territories for several generations. It had only been two years since Roger came to Kent County. Even if Kent Town was very wealthy, its military power would definitely not be the same.
Compared with themselves, the victory in this battle must belong to them. Therefore, the two nobles did not hesitate at all. After letting the soldiers rest for a while, they issued the order for a full-scale attack.
"Attack, attack." One of the nobles with a higher title served as the commander and shouted to the soldiers: "Capture Kent Town and you are allowed to attack for three days."
This order made all the soldiers under the nobles excited, and they rushed towards Kent Town with roars. The soldiers naturally knew how wealthy Kent Town was, and they could loot the town as they pleased for three days after capturing it. This pair of
The appeal of everyone was too great. Even if half of the loot had to be handed over to the lord, the rest would be enough to satisfy the soldiers.
Roger stood on the wooden wall of Kent Town, with thousands of soldiers rushing towards Kent Town in uneven formations. He couldn't help but sigh in frustration: "There are so many idiots who are not afraid of death."
With the help of the hippogryphs patrolling in the air, Roger had already grasped the whereabouts of these enemies. Facing a mere team of thousands of people, Roger had no intention of summoning the castle. Instead, he relied directly on Kent Town for defense so as to avoid them.
Exposing one's strength prematurely.
Seeing that the enemy was launching an attack recklessly, Roger immediately ordered the crossbowmen to attack. The crossbowmen who had been waiting for the order suddenly appeared from the wall, and then fired arrows at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.
.
There were hundreds or more of the crossbowmen who suddenly appeared. The soldiers under the nobles did not expect that the enemy had so many crossbowmen. In the blink of an eye, they were stunned when the first batch of arrows were fired over them.
The soldiers under the nobles basically only have the crudest weapons. Most of them don't even wear leather armor. They just put on a few thick clothes and hold up a thin wooden buckler to fight.
.How can such crude equipment be used?
How could it be possible to block the attacks of longbowmen and heavy crossbowmen? The first round of shooting knocked down more than two hundred people. Some of the enemies who were shot were killed on the spot, while the injured fell to the ground and howled in pain. Their hoarse screams could be heard
Their companions were all frightened.
"Idiot...keep shooting." Roger showed no sympathy for the enemy and gave the order to shoot continuously.
Before the noble soldiers could decide whether to continue the attack or retreat, a second round of arrows fell from the sky. This attack caused more casualties. The crossbowmen only fired two rounds and wiped out almost half of the enemies.
.
At this time, the noble soldiers who were lucky enough to survive no longer hesitated, and turned around and ran away with shouts. These noble private soldiers have always been poorly trained and lax in discipline. Normally, it is not a big problem to suppress the civilians in the territory, but when it comes to a tough battle,
His true form immediately emerged.
This situation also surprised the two nobles. They originally wanted to go to Kent Town to make a fortune, but they didn't expect that the situation would develop like this. The soldiers under their command collapsed as soon as the battle started. The soldiers were horrified.
Running towards him, the two nobles
Everyone knew that it was impossible to continue fighting under such circumstances. They exchanged a look with each other, and then Nedile turned his horse and prepared to escape. This time he responded to the king's mobilization order. Not only did he reap all the benefits, but he also
A soldier who was half broken was a huge loss.
Just when the nobles were about to escape, a knight guarding them suddenly shouted: "Supreme God, cavalry!"
One of the nobles quickly raised his head and looked forward, just in time to see a large group of cavalry appearing on the horizon. These cavalry were wearing heavy chain armor and were slowly marching in the direction of Kent Town in a neat formation.
There were as many as two thousand people, all exuding a fierce murderous aura.
Seeing this situation, the nobles were overjoyed and immediately shouted to others: "The kingdom's cavalry has arrived, we are saved..."
However, before he finished speaking, the cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to trot, and then launched a charge. Facing the charge of thousands of heavy cavalry, neither the knights protecting the nobles nor their defeated remnants were worth mentioning. However,
It was just a charge, and the two nobles, along with their knights and soldiers, were all dead.
Before they died, the nobles did not understand why there were so many heavy cavalry in Kent Town. However, no one would answer their question, and the two could only take this question to their graves.
"Huh...it's not challenging at all." After witnessing this scene, Roger left the wall with a light word.
For Roger, an attack like this with thousands of miscellaneous soldiers is not even considered a battle. It is just a small interlude before the battle officially begins. There is no need to take it to heart at all. However, according to the reports from the hippogryph,
According to the news, more enemy troops have entered Kent County and will reach Kent Town in a few days. At that time, the real battle will officially begin.
