Chapter 158: The Siege

In order not to be discovered by the Lucia, the Bapti knight made a big circle before appearing in front of Barrett: "The big guys are doing a good job, but it's a pity that Britten is ......"

Although the knight Bapti did not say it directly, everyone present understood that the companion who was not able to escape with the team was definitely a bad luck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't even need to think about the post-war exchange of prisoners.

However, compared to the results they have achieved, such losses are completely bearable. In the charge just now, there were more than 20 Lucia soldiers who died at Barrett's hands alone, not to mention the woundedβ€”with Barrett's level, he could fully determine whether the target he was attacking was dead or alive.

And the rest of the Rangers have gained a lot of money either. Each of them had cut down at least twice as many enemies as they were, not counting the ones that had been knocked down by their horses. Although it is not yet known how many of these wounded would have died as a result, a significant number of them were not lightly injured.

According to Barrett's knowledge of Lucia's army, those seriously injured who have no background and are not very strong in their own strength will not be healed by divine magic. These soldiers will only receive the most basic medical treatment, and whether they can survive depends on the help of luck to some extent. Even if you can survive, it will be impossible to get back into battle in a short period of time.

So even if it is a rough estimate, this encounter between the two sides has played a huge exchange ratio. Even though the Kingdom of Lucia had a large population, the grey cattle were extremely cheap. Even the cost of cavalry training on the part of Boreham is relatively high. Such a result can still be regarded as a big profit - if from the perspective of the superior.

"Then after this attack, the siege plan of those Lucians should also be postponed! I don't know if the Cruze side can take this opportunity to organize the troops to relieve the siege. But at this moment, Barrett did not have any joy of winning the battle, he was more concerned about whether the current Camplin City could survive this crisis.

Knight Bapti touched his chin: "It depends on whether those Lucia have reinforcements." If not, the operation you just made would be enough for them to not be able to organize a decent siege operation for the next 2-3 days. Next, we will arrange a special person to alert our appearance, and the efficiency of the siege will also be reduced. However, if the reinforcements are in time, it is not certain. ”

Although Barrett's actions did cause a considerable number of casualties. But since it was a siege battle, the troops sent by Lucia this time were quite sufficient. In fact, the loss of living forces alone was not enough to affect the siege of the Lucians. However, the blow to morale requires the other party to spend a lot of time to appease and inspire.

At the same time, in order to prevent Barrett and the others from repeating the previous shock, these Lucians must also make some targeted arrangements. Even if it is not possible to completely intercept the raid of Barrett and other Borams, it is necessary to sound the alarm in time to give the troops who are besieging the city enough time to defend themselves. And that will inevitably take time and resources.

More importantly, this will hold back Lucia's army to a certain extent, so that they will not be able to devote themselves to the offensive against Camprin. In this way, the intensity of the attack that Camplin City can withstand will be greatly reduced, and the time they can support it will naturally be extended.

However, as the knight Bapti said, all this is premised on the fact that Lucia does not send any more reinforcements. Otherwise, it's hard to say how much of an effect it will have.

"If you're that worried, we'll be making some trouble for those Lucia barbarians tomorrow." At that moment, the half-elven troubadour, who had sounded the horn earlier, suddenly interjected between the two.

The wrinkles on Barrett's forehead, who turned his head, were still obvious: "It also depends on the reaction of the Lucia." If they were to be cowered in the camp, we would at most be harassed with bows and arrows on the side. ”

In the face of a joint camp or a fully arranged military formation, it is a very brainless and cost-effective thing to use cavalry to directly attack - both in reality and in games. Although there were some very rare exceptions, they were only exceptions after all, otherwise Napoleon would not have been intimidated by the Polish winged cavalry.

So as long as those Lucians can't shrink back before they finish arranging, Boreham's group, which has a limited number of people, really can't do anything about those Lucia barbarians. This is one of the reasons why Lucia's crowd tactics can be mixed in this world with great differences in physical strength.

"Let's see if we can give their convoy some trouble, or delay the reinforcements back?" After feeling that he couldn't find any flaws in this siege camp, Barrett could only use his brain to find another way.

At this time, the Bapti knight finally spoke again: "Barrett, don't put so much pressure on your son. The key to whether or not Camplin City can hold on is not in our hands. ”

"Is the Cruze side responding? It's terrible to be able to pin your hopes on someone else. Barrett, who looked ugly, let out a long sigh.

As mentioned before, the Boreham Rangers Regiment of only 200 men had no chance of destroying the Lucia siege force. Not even with the addition of the knight Bapti and the knight who might exist in the city. Because if the knight on Lucia's side is desperate, it is not impossible to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Although the number of knights on the Solusian side was small, not all needed places could be arranged. However, in order to deal with unexpected situations, they also specially organized a mobile force. Even if it weakens the security of some battlefields, it is worth it overall.

This is the main reason why Bapti Knight is unwilling to take the lead after not grasping the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the opposing knight in a short period of time. When the high-end combat power did not have a decisive advantage, the contest between the two sides fell into the hands of ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, whether the siege of Camplin City can be completely solved depends on whether the army of the Cruze Kingdom can arrive in time. Otherwise, these Boram people would be able to delay for ten days and a half months at most.

What's more, it is the cities of the Cruze Kingdom that are now under siege, neither of the Khan Kingdom nor of Boram. This is something that the Rangers may have suffered in order to save the caravan in the city, but this loss is quite limited. Without orders from their superiors, it is impossible for them to fight with others for the benefit of other countries.

Fortunately, Barrett immediately figured it out after struggling for a while: "If those Cruzeites are not willing to save their compatriots, then we can also rescue those caravan members when the city is broken." ”

Compared to Barrett, who was thinking about everything outside the city, several players in Camplin City were much more relaxed. As the siege ended, Rielly and Anvil finally came down from the walls. As a foreign aid with good strength and trust, their treatment is still quite good.

When the two of them walked to the medical station, they saw Clematis with a sad face.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't solve with Tees? Speaking of this, Rielly suddenly said with a little noise, "Or maybe the consumption of materials is more than expected." ”

"That's one reason, but the main thing is that a barbarian's injury isn't easy to handle." As he spoke, Clematis gestured to a bed in the tent. A certain savage who had been so powerful before was now lying there with his strength in his breath.

Although the short spear has been removed, the wound has healed. But the guy was always unconscious. This is still very big for Camplin City, which has not much high-end combat power.

After lifting the curtain and looking at it, Rielly asked with a little confusion, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"A mixture of a toxin and a curse that requires a combination of specialized spells to resolve. There is no substitute for a similar spell. At this point, Clematis stared at Rielly and said, "And I remember Lily that you didn't transcribe the spell 'Remove the Curse'. ”

"Wait? If it was the Short Grass, I remembered that I had already dispelled the spell effects attached to it. As if she had thought of something, Rieli's voice suddenly rose more than once.

Klaymatis, on the other hand, shrugged, "That's just spell and spell-like effects. As long as this damn curse doesn't belong to either of those two, your spells won't work. It seems that Lucia should have a lot of capable people this time. ”

"And what about him now?" The anvil on the side finally couldn't help but ask. As a front-line officer on the city tower, he was more concerned about the specific situation of this one than Rielly. After all, Rielly was still able to hide in the tower, and he had to face the Lucian sword directly. In that environment, a strong savage is still important.

"Since there is no good solution in terms of spells. I'll go to the city and borrow a resistance cloak later. Should be able to increase the chances that the guy will get rid of the curse on his own. Although he said this, Lematis also understood that it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Seeing that her friend was in a bad mood, Rieli clapped her hands at this time: "Okay! Don't be so sad. Who did you just see on the battlefield? ”

"Who?" Clematis asked unconcernedly.

Rielie immediately stepped forward and scratched her friend's nose: "You guy didn't come up with it, do we have any acquaintances other than Barrett's guy?" ”

"Barrett is here?" The sadness on Clematis's face dissipated in an instant. I can't see that I still looked gloomy just now.

Rielly nodded: "Didn't he say before that he entered the Cruze Kingdom with the cavalry sent by the Bolim Leader?" When we contacted offline, we also informed ourselves of our situation, and it was normal for him to stop by to help! ”

"I'm just saying, why did today's battle end so quickly? It turned out that strong foreign aid suddenly came. Claudia shook her hand as she walked from the direction of the residential area.

Hearing this, the dwarf said with trepidation: "Indeed, if it weren't for Barrett and their complete disruption of the Lucian attack, today's battle would not have been so easy. ”

―――――――― work overtime on Saturday and make up tomorrow――――――――

"Da-da-da-da-" is accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone road and the "rattle-squeak" of the axles. Georgie frowned in the carriage.

Looking at the data of the territory, Qiao Ji couldn't help but sigh a little. Because of the knowledge of past lives as a reference and the aid of systematic reminders. From the age of eight, Georgie began to be formally involved in the management of the territory. Later, with his outstanding performance, he became the acting lord of the territory when his father was away. Starting from a small manor, after six full years of cold and summer, he finally left his own small mark on this world. It was also because of his outstanding performance that his father gave up the tradition of sending him to someone else's home to serve as a knight's squire.

As clerk to Duke Claudius Corkery Garfield, Georgie's father, Viscount Elok Cahill Boram, spends ten months a year in the capital city of Kadara. Georgie, who has become an acting lord in the last two years, is the de facto leader of the Boreham Lord. (To be continued.) )
