Lord Harland.

Chapter 264 Bulsen Siege III

The commander of Bolson Castle is Baron Solawan, a seventh-rank silver knight with Linus blood in his family, and his fighting power is much stronger than Baron Sharp.

After being awakened by the battle, Baron Solawan suppressed the irritability in his heart, and immediately ordered his adjutant to organize a team, put on armor, and lead the soldiers to the top of the city for support.

The baron's actions were very fast, and in less than 10 minutes, the baron led the soldiers to put on their armor and rushed to the battlefield.

At this time, Baron Sharp was preparing to organize soldiers and open the city gate to meet the second echelon.

Seeing this scene, Baron Suolawang immediately led the soldiers to fight up to protect the safety of the city gate.

There were [-] defenders in Bolsen Castle, which gathered the elite soldiers of the six nearby barons.Although the combat effectiveness of the defenders was not as good as that of the Harland Territory Army, it was more elite than the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces.

After all, the Stanik nobles fought a defensive battle in the nature of the Great Patriotic War. The nobles could be said to have tried their best and made a comprehensive mobilization.

As for the nobles in the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces, almost all of them had reservations. Although they were recruiting veterans, the number of noble professionals was relatively small. When fighting with real swords and guns, the quality of the officers and soldiers and the fighting morale were better than those of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces.

There are quite a few professionals in the aristocratic coalition army, but their performance on the battlefield is far inferior to that of the main central army.

Every time there is a cutoff or sacrifice, the internal interests of the aristocratic coalition forces are complicated, and it is very difficult to integrate their forces.The speed of decision-making is often very slow. On the battlefield where every second counts, such slow-response troops will suffer greater losses.

When encountering difficult tasks, such an army with high internal friction cannot bear the responsibility.

Solawan was very aware of the weakness of the noble coalition army. The transfer of these [-] soldiers to Burson Castle had consumed a lot of Baron Solawan's energy.

Gather the soldiers at Solawan Castle, and the nearby barons must carry out the order to fortify the walls and clear the fields.

The loss of hardening the wall and clearing the fields is very large. The wells have to be filled, the houses have to be burned, and the population has to migrate to the rear.To carry out a fortified wall to clear the country is almost equivalent to the reconstruction of the territory for the nobles.

What's more, if the population migrates to the rear, it may not be safe, and there is a high probability that it will be annexed by the nobles in the rear.Wanting to return the population after the war is also a messy account, and it is very complicated and troublesome to deal with.

The interests of the nobles were damaged, and it was particularly difficult to coordinate.Thanks to Baron Solawan's prestige, he was able to make the nearby nobles hand over their soldiers and carry out the order to fortify the wall and clear the country.

Because the internal structure is complex, they do not belong to each other.When it came to a critical moment, Solawang could only rely on the soldiers under his command.

Baron Sorawong has only 600 people under his command, roughly the same number as the first echelon.

Visibility in night combat is low, and by the time the first echelon found something unusual, Solawan had already led his troops to the vicinity.

The two teams of soldiers immediately meleeed together, and fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out.

Both Sharp and Solawan are high-level professionals, wearing sturdy enchanted armor and using the magic blade in their hands.Ordinary soldiers can't stop them at all, and they are very lethal.

Like a sharp arrow, the two easily penetrated the opponent's scattered formation.

Almost with a tacit understanding, the two high-level professionals fought together, and the collision of weapons made a sound like thunder.

Li Cha led a group of soldiers to cover the magician to the top of the city, and immediately realized that Baron Sharp was at a disadvantage.

Sharp is the soul of the first echelon and cannot be easily compromised.If he dies at the top of the city, the blow to morale will be too great.Sensing that Sharp was in danger of losing, Li Cha didn't have time to think about it, and immediately drew the enchanted longbow in his hand, aiming an arrow at the enemy.

Solawan was fighting with Baron Sharp. He had just released a magic frost ball and injured his opponent. What's the matter, suddenly there was a gust of wind in my ear.

Solawan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and an arrow shot towards his eye.

In an instant, Suolawang could feel the sharp wind.

"No, it's an enchanted arrow."

Suolawang was shocked, and immediately gave up attacking Sharp, but released a powerful magic energy shield.

Because a lot of magic power was invested, the energy shield released by Solawan was very large, covering him from head to toe in the shield.

The arrow stabbed fiercely into the energy shield, as if it was fixed in the air, and the shaft of the arrow kept vibrating, making a strong buzzing sound.

Before Suo Lawang could breathe a sigh of relief, the feathered arrow struck again.

Solawang looked up and found that Li Cha had used the continuous arrow method, and shot eight feathered arrows in just a few tens of seconds.

The eight arrows pierced fiercely into the energy shield, constantly consuming the power of the shield.In an instant, cracks appeared in the energy shield released by Solawan.

There were more than a dozen magicians on the top of the city with Li Cha, and their reactions were also very fast. Under Wendy's command, they released spells to attack the enemy.

Heath released the second-ring magic debilitating ray, and Annie released the second-ring magic fiery ball, and hit Solawan at the same time.

After being attacked continuously, the energy shield finally couldn't hold on anymore, it turned into a little magic power and dissipated in the air.

Seeing the enemy mage group boarded the city wall, Suolawang's face changed, and he was very surprised.He never expected that the siege party would have a group of mages to cooperate in the battle.

During the siege during the daytime, Solawan had already seen clearly the reality of the coalition forces of the nobles in the Gascoigne province.

Although the Gascoigne provincial coalition army is not a serf soldier, its quality is relatively average, and it is somewhat weaker than the second-line army.

The siege army is close to 2 people. If the quality is the same as that of the soldiers who attacked the city during the day, Suolawang has enough determination to defend until the opponent runs out of food and retreat.

However, among the more than 5000 coalition forces, there are still many elite soldiers.

Especially the power of magic has played a key role today.

There is no magician under Suolawang's command, so today's loss will be settled.

The magic power of the Grand Duchy of Stanik is far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Grant. This country has no natural magic wells, and there are very few magic inheritances. It is very difficult to train a magician.

The limited mage power is concentrated in the capital, on the front line in the northern border, and although the southern duke's family has a mage heritage, they will not send mages to assist Burson City.

If Solawang had a group of mages, Li Cha would not dare to create a stone slope to attack the city, because the magician could release the magic of turning fossils into mud, which would allow Li Cha to steal chickens without losing money.

Seeing the mage group in the Harland territory, Solawan knew that the situation was already very dangerous. If these mages could not be killed, he would have to accept the loss of the castle and the failure of the battle today.

Baron Solawan roared, "Follow me!"

His body was like a cheetah, he jumped up suddenly, constantly changing his running path, and rushed towards Li Cha and the others.

At this moment, Suolawang was very calm. He knew that only by killing the enemy magician could he change the situation of the battle and win a complete victory.

Although magicians are powerful, low-level magicians have not mastered magic such as flying, teleportation, and planes, and are afraid of encountering close combat.

If the opponent's mage group can be slaughtered, today's battle can still turn the situation around.

Seeing Solawan rushing forward to kill him, Baron Sharp wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood in front without thinking. Even though he couldn't beat this person, he still had to fulfill his responsibility on the battlefield to prevent Solawan from approaching the magician .

Solawan let out a roar, raised the enchanted epee with both hands, leaped high, and slashed at Sharp's head blocking in front.

Sharp's muscles tensed, he raised his enchanted long sword, and faced the enemy.

The two swords collided, sparks splashed, and a thunderous sound erupted.With the force of the collision, Solawan's body was as light as a monkey, and passed over Baron Sharp's head.Sorafi backhanded his sword and stabbed Baron Sharp in the back.

Baron Sharp's reaction was quick, he took a step forward almost instinctively, and then swung his sword backhand, blocking Solawan's attack.

But at this moment, Solawan had already broken through Baron Sharp's block, and was very close to the magician.

Seeing Suolawang rushing over, Annie immediately released the spider web technique, trying to trap this person.

A spider web appeared under his feet. Solawan's legs were tense, and he kept waving the enchanted arrows with both hands, cutting off the spider web, and then jumped hard, spanning a distance of five or six meters.

Solawang had just landed when a sharp arrow pierced his forehead.

At the critical moment, Suolawang used the last bit of magic power and released the seven-ring magic time delay.

In an instant, the passage of time within three meters around Solawang slowed down a bit, he shook his head hastily to dodge, narrowly dodging the killing arrow again.

But the cheek was cut by the arrow and almost died.

Once again brushing past death, Solawan gasped. He wiped the blood from his cheeks, turned his head to look at the attacker, and killed Li Cha with his eyes wide open.

Suolawang's speed was very fast, and he was no more than 15 meters away from Li Cha. At such a short distance, against an enemy like Suolawang, Li Cha had no time to draw his bow and aim.

Seeing Solawang stabbing him with a sword, Li Cha raised his enchanted long sword and fought with Solawang.

Li Cha's physical talent is outstanding, his warrior level has been raised to the fifth level, and his swordsmanship is also quite good, Suolawang was unable to kill Li Cha for a while.

Solawang was just about to try to hurt both sides, break through Richard's block, and kill other magicians, but Baron Sharp had already chased him up, and he was not given this chance at all.

Sharp teamed up with Li Cha, and it was no longer a disadvantage against Suolawang in close combat.

Sharp swung his sword to force Solawan back, and Li Cha immediately released the three-ring magic hold technique.

Normally speaking, according to Suolawang's combat experience, it is difficult to be hit by this magic.

But on the chaotic battlefield, facing the threat of Richard and Sharp, Solawan dared not be distracted at all.

Although his magic resistance is very high, the hold spell can only freeze him for a second or two, but this second or two is also fatal on the battlefield.

Solawan was hit by the hold technique. Li Cha and Sharp stepped forward almost at the same time. The enchanted long sword in their hands stabbed Solawan's neck. This silver knight with strong fighting power lost his life in an instant.

A reminder sounded in his mind, and Li Cha immediately knew that Solawan had died.

Sharp took a step forward, cut off Solawan's head, and shouted loudly: "The Silver Knight has died in battle, and you still don't surrender?"

At this time, the second echelon also began to climb to the top of the city.The reinforcements sent by Suolawang had just completed their rectification and approached the city wall.

The battle in the dark night was very chaotic. Even if Solawan died in battle and Baron Sharp shouted and killed the Silver Knight, the defenders did not believe it.

Seeing that the defenders had organized their team and rushed to the top of the city again, Wendy raised the lightning staff and released a series of lightning spells.

Before the dispatch of troops this time, although the soldiers in the territory of Harland did not come out in full force, they were considered to have mobilized elite soldiers. Richard brought the bottle of starlight, Sophia brought the star necklace, and Wendy also brought the thunderbolt Staff.

The Harland Mage Association has mastered three pieces of legendary magic equipment, which is slightly higher than the Grant Mage Association.

In an instant, more than a dozen bolts of lightning hit the Bulsen defenders, killing and injuring more than a hundred people in an instant.

With the help of the strong light from the lightning, they could finally see the surrounding situation clearly.Seeing Baron Sharp holding Soravang's head, many soldiers suddenly lost the determination to resist.

The chain of lightning seemed to be the last straw, crushing the fighting will of the Bursen defenders.

Many soldiers escaped from Bursen Castle in the dark and hid in the mountains.

Reinforcements from the third echelon came up, and almost no fighting broke out, and they took down the Bursen City Gate.

The surprise attack was successful, and the follow-up troops quickly took control of Burson City.

In the afternoon of the second day, the battlefield had been cleaned, the casualties counted, and a large pit dug to bury the dead soldiers of the Bursen defenders.

As for the officers and soldiers who died in the battle of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces, if conditions permit, the bodies will be cremated, the ashes will be placed in jars, and sent to the family members behind.

Li Cha summoned the main officers to Bulsen City Lord's Mansion, and when everyone was present, the staff officers began to report the results of the battle.

"According to our statistics, in the battle last night, 450 or six defenders of Bursen were killed, 680 or 300 were arrested, about [-] escaped from the city, and the remaining [-] or [-] soldiers were mixed among the citizens of the castle. "

Listening to the staff officer's report, Li Cha frowned, and suddenly interrupted: "Have you counted the population of Bursen City?"

"There is no detailed statistics yet, only a rough one, not counting the defenders, there are more than 8000 people in the castle."

"What about the seizure? Especially the amount of seized food, we must count it clearly."

"We took Bursen City, and we seized 4 tons of grain, [-] pieces of armor, and more than [-] gold and silver coins."

"Take out all the captured coins and give the soldiers a point. Then select some beautiful women from Bursen Castle, and let the officers and soldiers who have done meritorious service give priority to selection. Many of our soldiers are still bachelors. If we win this battle, we must Pick pretty women for the soldiers to marry."

Li Cha is a fair person. Although the soldiers of the Harland Territory made the most contribution in this battle, they were able to break the bottle of starlight, the Territory Mage Corps, and the elite archers all played a decisive role, but he still decided to share the spoils with the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces .This batch of spoils was mainly distributed to the soldiers at the bottom.With gold coins and women, the morale of the soldiers finally recovered a bit.
