Throne of the North.

Chapter 195 The Final War (Part )

In fact, Ryan could not command this army of tens of thousands of people. After more than ten days of running-in, he knew very well that he had no such experience and could not turn an army of tens of thousands of people into a powerful fighting force.

But he could command a small number of troops, and that was enough.

Knights, a small number of soldiers, and decisions on the big direction are the truth of this war that is completely different from other nobles.

He let the soldiers fight on the bridge. The head-on fight was to see who was stronger. It had nothing to do with command but with knights.

He ordered the remaining soldiers to line up in full battle formation to deal a blow to the enemy's morale. Strictly speaking, this was a strategy and had nothing to do with command.

Similarly, at this moment, the vanguard of the army, several thousand meters away from the battlefield, crossed the Leiyin Gorge and prepared to attack Count Weiss's soldiers from both sides, which was also more of a strategic move.

"When two men meet on a narrow road, the bravest will win."

Ryan looked at the tragic battlefield of ten bridges and ordered the magicians to build three more stone bridges.

“I can’t do that.”

The magicians cried out that the magic power in their bodies had been exhausted. You have to know that those ten stone bridges are not simple stone bridges, they are maintained by magical power. Otherwise, with so many soldiers, so many knights and barbarians fighting on them, if the stone bridges were ordinary, they would have been cut off by the huge force long ago.

Until now, those stone bridges are still intact. The barbarians' giant axes can only produce some rubble when they fall on them. The magic power required to build such stone bridges is not simple.

"That's it."

Ryan didn't care. He wanted to build a few more stone bridges to drag more of Count Weiss's soldiers to fight on the bridges, because according to the time, the army that had gone around behind would be arriving soon, and they might be under a lot of pressure.

The main reason was that before Ryan saw Count Weiss's army, he didn't know there would be so many soldiers wearing animal skins like savages, and they were very strong.

Boom! ! !
Across the Leiyin Gorge, Earl Weiss and his men suddenly looked backwards. They didn't know when a large army had appeared behind them. The flags standing in the army were obviously not reinforcements from him or the nobles of Leiyun County.

But the enemy opposite!
"Damn it, they're coming around!"

What is the role of the front army? They have all the tools of the army in their hands. Their role is to open the way. They open the way when they encounter mountains, build bridges when they encounter water, and when they encounter terrain like Leiyin Gorge, they also climb down little by little, clear the weeds, and get rid of the wild animals or insects and snakes among them, so as to clear a way for the army to climb down from this side and climb up from the other side.

At this moment, the surprise attack that Ryan came up with on a whim finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back in overwhelmed the morale of Count Weiss's army.

In addition to the barbarians, there were more soldiers of Count Weiss, warriors wearing animal skins.

There were tens of thousands of people, almost all of them were these warriors, so much so that Ryan was wondering where the regular troops in the Earl of Weiss's territory had gone.

But it's not hard to guess.

……

Near the Territory of Glimmering Light, the ground was rumbling and shaking, and there was the sound of iron hooves trampling, followed by thousands of soldiers charging towards the logistics camp.

Harrington looked at the army coming from afar, and a large number of cavalry were approaching them.

There was no flag of Viscount Hogg, but he was sure that the cavalry came from Viscount Hogg.

"Even now, Viscount Hogg has not given up on Earl Weiss?"

Harrington was a little surprised. He didn't understand why, but he understood one thing.

His eyes were filled with loyalty and awe for Ryan.

"Master Ryan is right. After Earl Weiss retreats to Thundercloud County, he will definitely leave an army behind to destroy the food supplies. However, this number is unexpectedly so large."

But Harrington didn't care. Everything was within Master Ryan's calculations. Although Viscount Hogg was an accident, this war would never be a long-lasting war, so it was no big deal if the food was burned.

not to mention……

There isn't much food here.

Harrington was a little excited. This was the first time he had done such a thing. They had been secretly transporting grain out these days, and even the slaves outside Lingdu County didn't know where he had sent the grain. "Let them in and let them add fuel to the fire."

Viscount Hogg looked at the camp ahead, his eyes full of gloom and struggle.

Count Weiss colluded with the Vatican, so he should have immediately changed his side and become the enemy of Count Weiss.

but……

"Centaur potion."

Viscount Hogg held the reins tightly. No matter what the result was, as long as he accomplished this task, he would be able to obtain the magic potion that would allow him to be promoted to Sky Knight. Although he had not reached that stage yet, it would be the most painful if he really reached that stage but had no resources.

He believed in his talent, otherwise he would not have been valued by the royal family and married a royal woman.

"Done!"

Viscount Hogg considers himself a humble man who is good at learning from others' strengths. So after being defeated by Ryan with fire in Tieshan County, he also felt the advantages brought by fire in several subsequent wars.

"Push it to me!"

Viscount Hogg did not rush directly into the camp, but led the cavalry to attack from the side. As for the frontal attack, it was of course left to the soldiers under Count Weiss.

He was worried about some trap.

In fact, there were traps, but they were not outside or at the edge of the camp. The cavalry and infantry rushed into the camp, and the torches with kerosene instantly ignited all the tents. The burning speed was so fast that even Viscount Hogg was a little shocked.

He threw the torch far away, but within a few seconds it had spread to his vicinity, causing the warhorse to be afraid to move forward.

“How can it be so easy?”

Viscount Hogg turned his horse around and went to the other side where the disease had not yet spread, and tore a hole in the tent with his knight's sword.

"No?"

"How come there isn't?"

"My Lord, those grain carts are full of hay."

Hay? What is hay? Where do they get all that hay?
Viscount Hogg roared in shock, he didn't see any food at all.

Then his face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, Ryan knows what I'm coming for!"

Viscount Hogg did not hesitate at all and handed the matter over to the soldiers under Count Weiss. He was about to rush back.

In any case, several food and forage camps near the Glimmer Territory had to be burned, and then he had to go to Count Weiss to get the Centaur potion and other magic potion resources, and then hurry back to Yinchuan County.

He already felt that Count Weiss could not win. That Ryan was simply a devil and knew everything they were going to do.

"Anyway, I have done everything I should do. As for whether there is any food here... No, there is food here. I have burned all their food. An army of tens of thousands of people will starve to death in a few days at most."

"Yes, that's it. I'm going to get what's mine."

On the other side of the camp, Harrington looked at Viscount Hogg's cavalry going away and couldn't help but envy them. The cavalry had good mobility. As long as they carried a little food, they could go wherever they wanted and no one could stop them.

"But we will have that soon too."

Taking a deep breath, when the fire in the camp was almost extinguished by itself, Harrington drew out his knight's sword.

"Soldiers! Glory to Ryan, kill him!"
