Chapter 202 Blood Fight on the Frontier

Over the years, there have been many strongholds on the border between Hungary and the Empire. When wars break out, these strongholds will become the center and starting point for the two sides to see each other.

After all, wars abound between the Empire and Hungary, and both sides are planning for a rainy day.

Nilo is one of the dozens of frontier strongholds established by the Kingdom of Hungary near this main road to the empire. This stronghold was built on the ruins of the original old castle here, and Nilo itself happened to be stuck on the road.

Because of the importance of this location, there will naturally be more troops gathered here, with better defense, which is usually enough to resist the siege of the army for a period of time.

The construction of this stronghold is also very good and complete, with solid wooden walls, deep trenches, and tall wooden towers, and the only way to enter the camp is the gate, which is still connected by a pullable wooden bridge, but now the wooden bridge is pulled up.

There are two simple wooden towers next to the gate, with parapets and baffles on them. On weekdays, there are always archers standing on them, observing the surroundings with keen eyes.

The designer of the stronghold also incorporated some of the remaining buildings of the ancient castle into the defense. It is said that the castle was built by the Romans and was abandoned for a long time, but now these defense facilities have regained their vitality.

But now, the wooden tower has been destroyed by stones, falling to the ground like a broken doll, torn apart.

The solid wooden wall was also collapsed by boulders in several places, and there were several corpses hanging on the wooden wall, and the small stone shooting gun not far from the stronghold indicated that it was responsible for all these.

The gates where the battle was most intense are filled with the corpses of both sides of the Hungarian Civil War. Beyond these corpses, there are various burnt buildings and strongholds of corpses.

Originally, there were some residents who were relocated to the border, but now these residents have disappeared. God knows where they went to escape the war.

After the Battle of the Meadow, King Andrew's remnant army was leaderless for a time, but soon Edward, who protected Andrew's wife and children, integrated them. Edward held up the banner of King Solomon—that is, Andrew's son—to gather everyone around him, and then They retreated into the empire under the leadership of Edward.

However, these fortresses on the border between the Empire and Hungary did not give up. This is the springboard for returning to Hungary in the future, and they must be controlled in their hands.

Even for future negotiations, these strongholds are a card they can use as bargaining chips. If Edward hands over these strongholds to the empire, then the future situation of King Bella will be very disgusting. Need to take down those strongholds one by one.

In the same way, for King Bella, it is said here that it must be unplugged.

At first, the king planned to recruit these strongholds, but these people would not surrender no matter what. After all, those who still insist on standing here are basically Andrew's diehards, so the king can only use thunder.

The kingdom has sent many troops, and some important strongholds have been taken care of.

For example, in order to quickly occupy Nile, King Bella sent a capable team. They first secretly placed small stone-shooting cannons in the nearby forest, and then smashed the already crumbling tower with the stone-shooting cannons. Chaos swarmed to defeat the stubborn defenders and take the stronghold.

This was a short and fierce battle. Although the stronghold was quickly captured, King Bella's army suffered a lot of casualties. After all, such an important stronghold must be Andrew's loyal guard, which made the leading offensive state Du was very distressed.

But after thinking that the king would compensate him for his losses, the governor was not in such a bad mood.

Now there are many corpse raiders running around among the dead, searching for the wealth of the dead. This is a scene that will never be missing after a battle.

As for the other Hungarian soldiers, they were scattered around, they were resting or chatting, and the wounded were concentrated in a few tents that were still intact in the stronghold.

From time to time, the howling of the wounded came from these tents, but everyone regarded it as normal, this is how battles are, and whether these people can live or not depends entirely on God's will.

Such scenes are happening all over the border. In the face of King Bella's attack, most of these unprepared, relatively weak, and isolated strongholds were breached within a short period of time.

The authority of King Andrew was trampled to the ground, and the soldiers who had fought for the banner were either killed or captured, and for a while there was failure everywhere, without success.

King Bella is showing his strength to deter traitors, and the state governors are very happy to serve the king. After all, Bella has already secured the throne and sent a large number of troops to carry out this task.

But it was different in Nilo. The support and counterattack belonging to Andrew's forces came soon, but they arrived too late, but this did not prevent them from launching attacks on the rebels.

Following a frenzied battle cry, groups of Germanic warriors armed with machetes poured out of the forest. They uttered terrifying screams, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they attacked the Magyars.

And behind these Germanic warriors were countless Ross warriors wearing pointed iron hats, holding their spears and running at the fastest speed, trying to kill the enemy.

Edward's cavalry rushed out beside them, outflanking the enemy's flanks.

All of Edward's strength is now here, and there are only a thousand people in total. This is the product of Edward's efforts to restrain the troops, and most of them are still his own troops.

This includes those Germanic machetemen, Ross spearmen, and Magyar knights. Gathering these troops is already his limit.

The sudden blow caught the Magyars who thought the battle was over by surprise. Before they could react, many of them were cut in half with machetes, then knocked to the ground by spears, shot down, or knocked down.

The Hungarian soldiers scattered all over the place had no time to gather and were defeated by the enemy one by one. The enemy's offensive was so fast that they didn't even have a chance to react and gather.

These Magyars hadn't properly searched and celebrated their victory before they suffered such a tragic blow, and their morale fell like a punctured ball.

After leaving a lot of corpses, and the head of the governor who commanded them was beheaded, these Magyars fled without armor and armor, crawling and crawling, but such lucky people are rare.

As for the wounded they left behind, they were ruthlessly executed in despair.

Those unfortunate enough to be captured were simply executed by the victors - just as they had done.

"Let everyone hurry up, we don't have much time, and we have to attack in other directions."

After the battle, the leader of the team, Edward Wessex, yelled like this, and everyone shouted in unison, no matter whether they were Magyars, Germans, or Ross people, it can be seen that Edward has captured the hearts of these remnants
Edward's face is much more weathered than in the past. He is now standing next to the stone-shooting cannon that broke through the tower and the wooden wall, followed by a group of knights. Before this general rushed to the front of the team and killed several soldiers with cross marks on their bodies. Zhang's knights greatly boosted morale.

But he is not proud of this, because he knows that there are still many enemies, very many, and this is just a small victory.

The stone-shooting cannon in front of them was a small-sized stone-shooting cannon that could be pushed. It should have been bought from the Roman Empire in the south. It was unknown whether it belonged to the governor who was killed by himself or the usurping king.

King Bella wants to pull out the stronghold on the border, but Edward will not let him do so. There are many battles on the border these days, and Edward is the winner most of the time. The pressure cast by Bella is still he Withstood.

In addition, he planned to remove the thing in front of him by the way, it was a good thing for tackling tough situations, so he picked it up casually.

"Hurry up and clear the entire battlefield. We have to move to other places. Since Bella wants to defeat each of them, then we will seize the opportunity and let him pay the price."

Edward's voice was sonorous and powerful, with unquestionable confidence in his words, and it was these words that maintained the morale of everyone and made them persevere and continue to fight.

It is indeed clever for the enemy to disperse his forces to attack, but it also disperses his forces and gives him every opportunity to defeat them.

This strategy of Bella's army assumes that Andrew's remnants are waiting to die in the stronghold. This is also the state of losing command of the army under normal circumstances, but it is a pity that there is Edward here.
