The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 630 Trapped in the Forest
In the woods more than a dozen miles outside Eberron Village.

The daytime battle was over, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day in the heavy rain. Zhang Qiang, as the defender, lost about 500 second-tier to third-tier soldiers, [-] militiamen and [-] recruits, and several knights were captured. About [-] people.

King Halaus's army stormed for a day, and they were unable to exert their full combat power in the heavy rain. They lost more than 3000 militiamen and farmers, as well as 200 Swadia Kingdom guards, more than 300 infantrymen, and more than [-] Swadia Kingdom crossbowmen. Five hundred infantry, one thousand light infantry, the harvest is nothing more than forcing Zhang Qiang's army from the hills into the forest.

But in this way, King Harlaus's cavalry strength advantage could not be brought into play, and the next battle still had to be resolved by infantry and crossbowmen, and everyone was worried.

If you add the previous battle with Queen Isona's troops, they lost more than 7000 militiamen and farmers, more than 1000 recruits, 150 Swadia Kingdom guards, more than 500 infantry, and more than 700 Swadi Kingdom crossbowmen, 750 infantry, 130 heavy infantry, 30 cavalry, 4000 cavalry, [-] heavy cavalry, and more than [-] Swadia Kingdom snipers, with a total loss of [-] troops.

Such losses, especially those of high-ranking soldiers, were also heavy for King Harlaus' troops.

The cannon fodder farmers and the militia were exhausted, and the few remaining recruits, light infantry and crossbowmen, could no longer bear the task of exhausting the elite troops of Earl Zhang Qiang, so they had to start tomorrow and use the elite troops, at least Troops of Tier [-] and above conduct fortified battles.

If he was only facing Zhang Qiang alone, then King Halaus would not hesitate to use these elite troops, but he wanted to control the entire Kingdom of Swadia, and the armies of those arrogant and domineering lords, especially the great nobles. , which appears to be stretched.

It is conceivable that once the troops of these lords following him are exhausted and there is no territory to replenish, what will these people think of him, and will they continue to support him?

Even if they support him, it is unknown what role these lords will play in the next battle against other families.

He will have to use the elite troops he has accumulated over the years to fight against Zhang Qiang's troops, and even against the elite troops of those families.

This will weaken the strength of his Kingdom of Swadia. What will the kings who are staring at him in the predicament of restoration do?It must have jumped up and bit a few bites, tearing pieces of bloody flesh from him, from the kingdom of Swadia, to fill their hungry stomachs.

The battle flag of the Kingdom of Swadia is a male lion, and the flags of the kingdoms around him are either wolves, bears, leopards, or crows. None of these are beasts that look easy to deal with.

Despite this, King Halaus urgently dispatched 2000 elite heavy crossbowmen from the Kingdom of Swadia to the troops that infiltrated and surrounded Zhang Qiang from the rear. , The third-tier infantry, crossbowmen, and scout cavalry will join forces, looking forward to tomorrow's battle at dawn, they can come out from the rear, and deal a heavy blow to the opponent, enough to shake the opponent's confidence.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Harengos family is moving towards us." The scout cavalry rushed in to report.

King Harlaus stood up and asked nervously, "How many troops do they have?"

The scout cavalry responded: "About 6000 people, the team is fairly neat, but half of the recruits, half of the elite soldiers above the second rank, the weapons and equipment are not very good, and the damage is serious."

King Harlaus sat down, "Oh, that's all right, all right?"

The Xilin knight stood by and heard the king's words, and said, "We have not lost our elite, and there are more than 8000 elite soldiers, all of whom are above the third rank. I think they are more afraid of us."

Sid Knight said from the side: "Not necessarily, those big families are all gamblers, we divided up 3000 troops to copy the enemy's rear, currently there are only [-] soldiers in the camp, and more than [-] wounded, maybe they will take advantage of it." The night attacks our camp, and we must be prepared."

The Xilin knight said: "Do they want to rebel? Now they are still the lords of the kingdom. Since they have lost the battle and they only have one city territory, what they want is to temporarily compromise with us. Instead of fighting us, that's what stupid people do."

Just as Knight Cid was about to retort, King Harlaus raised his hand to stop his rebuttal, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I know them, I know Earl Crags, he doesn't have the guts to fight me.

Even the irascible Earl Harlengos still dare not fight against the current strength of the king's army. Unless we lose the battle, it means betrayal for them to fight against us.

They can only choose Queen Isona, or stand on their own like Rod Laboye, the problem is that this is not the style of the Harengos family.

In the past hundred years, they have never done such a stupid thing as direct betrayal. They all think that they are smart people who can bring down others behind their backs and gain benefits, instead of directly raising guns and fighting you naked for benefits.This is not their style. "

He glanced sideways at the Cylinder knight and the Sid knight standing on both sides, and said to the Cylinder knight: "Take a small team of cuirassiers to the camp of the Harengos family, and tell them that at dawn, from the sentry The infantry and archers entered the forest to attack Earl Zhang Qiang's team. There must be no mistake."

Sid Knight frowned, "They just lost a battle, will they listen to you?"

King Harlaus said: "Yes, as long as they don't want to betray, even if they deal with me, it will give Earl Zhang Qiang a headache. The troops of the Harengos family entered the forest and blocked one of their exits. In this way , Earl Zhang Qiang, you have no choice but to come out and fight me."

Zhang Qiang is also thinking hard at this time, whether to use the superior elite force to fight out and die with the enemy, or to escape from the forest in the dark, Bolcha has sneaked out of the forest with his bandit scout troop, and went to rescue the soldiers , It won't be long before the [-] troops from Deherim City will come to meet with him and rescue him. Once the force is superior to the opponent, Zhang Qiang will be able to make a break with King Harlaus.

It's just that Manid came in from the outside first and told him a series of unfavorable news.Make him hesitate between waiting for help and taking the initiative, or running away.

There is even more disturbing news. Queen Aesona's people voluntarily withdrew from the battle at dusk, and went into the forest, not knowing where they were going.Originally, he didn't need to worry about this, but after hearing the news from Manid, Earl Dagwilliam also escaped and came in with [-] soldiers and [-] farmers collected. He might let maybe Queen Aesona, who was about to fall to him, had other ideas. Before that, he had already received that Earl Cress had betrayed Rod Laboye and returned to the Kingdom of Swadia with an army. Maybe their father and son Will support Queen Aisona, making the situation on the mainland even more complicated.

Where is Queen Aesona planning to re-establish her Swadian empire?
