Throne of the North.

Chapter 132 Cruel and Resolute

Viscount Hogg originally wanted to capture Viscount Walter's castle and then sandwich Ryan's army in the middle, but now the situation is reversed and his army is trapped.

"If there are enemies in front and behind, we can't fight armies from two directions at the same time."

Any noble who has participated in a war knows how serious the situation is if the enemy is around you and has enemies in front of you.

At this moment, Viscount Hogg felt this way, he knew it was time for him to retreat.

For the entire Yinchuan County, the losses in this war were not too great. He took steady steps and was able to make the nobles of Tieshan County compromise little by little.

After all, this is a war between nobles. When the war seriously affects the interests of the nobles, the war will end. In many cases, there is no need to actually press the soldiers in front of the opposite side.

There are now two roads in front of him. One is to retreat directly from the main road, but the back is blocked by the army brought by Ryan from Lingdu County and the army formed by the nobles of Tieshan County.

The second is to return along the same route.

"Ryan!!!"

Standing in front of the mine and looking at the collapsed mine in front of him, Viscount Hogg was furious.

The way back he came was blocked by Ryan, and it was even very likely that the magic power provided by his own great magician was used.

"My Lord Viscount, what should we do now?"

Several knights went to the location of the mine, and when they came back they said that it was impossible to clean it out within two or three days.

"Now either continue to attack Viscount Walter's castle, or leave through the avenue."

In the end, Viscount Hogg, with a flushed face, still couldn't make up his mind to attack the Viscount's Castle.

It is not so easy to break through the fortress built by a viscount family with decades of experience, and the Frozen Baron is not a waste.

"Take the avenue!"

In this case, they would be faced with a situation where they would be attacked from both sides, and it was very likely that the army would be wiped out in Tieshan County because of a war.

……

At this moment, Baron Freeman was also paying attention to the movements in the north.

"It's convenient to use the Flying Wolf Cavalry to deliver messages. I didn't expect that after Baron Ryan appeared on the battlefield, Viscount Hogg's plan failed."

After saying this, Baron Freeman looked at Harrington next to him.

"Knight, do you think Viscount Hogg's army will come to us from the avenue?"

He was a little excited, as if he was the one who caused Viscount Hogg to lose on the battlefield.

"Most definitely."

Harrington replied, a little nervous, because at this moment, the five or six thousand soldiers behind him were all under his control.

On the other side, Baron Malik was also a little excited.

"As long as we can win this war and even capture Viscount Hogg, I can take back my territory and all my wealth."

"This is a rare opportunity."

"But the Frozen Earth Baron only asked us to hold back Viscount Hogg's army. Once his elite troops arrive, we can attack from both sides."

Baron Freeman was a little hesitant. He certainly wanted to emulate the powerful commanders in history and win a thrilling battle, but fortunately he still remembered Ryan's words.

"It's already this late. As long as we can win this war, our Tieshan County will be victorious." At this time, Harrington suddenly coughed and said to the two nobles:

"When Master Ryan left, the command of the army was in my hands. If the two masters want to attack, they can lead the two thousand men of Tieshan County to attack."

His words left the two barons speechless and silent.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the distance. Everyone looked towards the north and found that on the road to another three-head location, densely packed figures appeared in front of them.

"They're coming!"

Harrington shouted and rode his horse to the rear. As the sound of horns echoed over the road in this mountainous area, the army became extremely nervous.

"Those damn warlocks actually gave the soldiers cursed water!"

Baron Freeman fled back in terror, shouting:
"Those slave soldiers won't survive more than three hours, and they will become bloodthirsty like wild beasts. Harrington, get your soldiers to charge!"

There was no need for him to remind them, as a large number of soldiers had already blocked the road in the process of rushing forward. Soon, they saw the group of slave soldiers with bloodshot eyes, liquid flowing from their mouths, and roaring like wild beasts appearing in front of them.

The horrifying scene caused the soldiers at the front to retreat subconsciously. The fear and panic in their eyes made it difficult for them to even hold the spears in their hands.

"Everyone, charge! If you charge, you will survive!"

In the distance, Viscount Hogg was roaring loudly. The slaves certainly didn't know that the cursed water they swallowed would lead to their death. They had lost all reason in their minds and kept moving forward. At this moment, the three hundred slave soldiers were like a mighty army, forcing the army commanded by Harrington to retreat.

"Don't retreat, kill them!"

Harrington swung his sword and killed two retreating slave soldiers, and came to the front of the army, but the next moment, he saw the real monsters behind the 300 slave soldiers who had swallowed the cursed water. The group of knights, five or six men, were charging towards him in a row for hundreds of meters.

They did not care about the life or death of the 300 slave soldiers. Even for Viscount Hogg, using knights and cavalry to tear open the southern defense line was the most direct approach.

"It's over..."

Looking at the tall cavalrymen in the distance charging towards him without fear of death, all thoughts disappeared from Harrington's mind and he stood there blankly.

"For the glory of the Hogg family!"

"For the glory of the Viscount!"

The knights charging in the front had extremely fanatical faces under their armor. They took rage potions and rushed into the thousands of troops behind Harrington with unparalleled momentum. Then, more and more cavalry rushed from the rear, and with their flesh and blood, they frightened thousands of slave soldiers into pieces.

"kill!"

north……

When Ryan heard the roar echoing among the mountains, his face changed at this moment.

"Viscount Walter, what do you think is the probability that Viscount Hogg will use the cavalry to charge and clear the way at the first opportunity?"

Ryan was not as familiar with that Viscount as he was with Viscount Walter.

The latter said after a moment's hesitation and silence:
"It's big."

"Thirty years ago, in the war that won the Northern Wind Province, the elderly Viscount Hogg led the most elite troops to charge at the front line. At that time, he had just arranged for the current Viscount Hogg to marry a member of the imperial family."

"This is the ethos of the Hogg family. Almost every Viscount dies in battle."

“They are not afraid of death, because victory in war can bring benefits far greater than death.”

So... when Ryan brought all his elite troops to the battlefield, what he saw were slave soldiers wailing all over the mountains and densely packed corpses on the roads that stretched for hundreds or thousands of meters.
