Chapter 528: Strange Situation During the Siege
“Lord Kant!”
When Baheshtur saw Kant’s arrival, he quickly rode towards Kant and respectfully saluted him.
When Kant’s troops and Baheshtur’s troops gathered together.
The Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights beside Baheshtur automatically returned to the extraordinary troops behind Kant.
“Baheshtur, tell me about the situation when you occupied the north city gate of Lionheart City last night.” Kant casually asked.
He was very curious. Baheshtur had obviously occupied the north city gate of Lionheart City without being injured. But why didn’t the system give him an epic victory or a legendary victory comment?
“Lord, the garrison troops at the north city gate of Lionheart City are vulnerable to a single blow!”
Baheshtur recalled the situation when they attacked the north city gate last night, and he couldn’t help but show a disdainful expression.
“Can’t withstand a single blow?” Kant frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
Could it be that the enemy was too weak and would affect the system’s comment?
But this didn’t make any sense. The garrison troops at the south city gate of Lionheart City and the north city gate of Lionheart City shouldn’t be too much of a difference.
Moreover, according to the battle plan, the attack on the north city gate would be much harder than the attack on the south city gate.
“Lord, before we arrived at the north city gate of Lionheart City last night, they had obviously already known that we’re coming.” Baheshtur paused and carefully recalled the situation last night.
“When we arrived, they had already set up a few braziers and set up a formation, waiting for us.”
Kant nodded.
“This is not surprising. There are many spies in the southern region of Lionheart City.”
“It is possible that when you attacked the south city gate, some spies moved and sent your news to the north city gate.”
“These are all situations that we had expected.” Kant a.n.a.lyzed for a while and continued, “After all, among your troops, some of them are archers and infantrymen. It is impossible for them to be fast.”
Kant became more and more curious. The north city gate was ready for battle. It should be an intense battle.
And in such a battle, Baheshtur could still achieve zero casualties. No matter what, his performance in north city gate should be more outstanding than the south city gate.
Kant was curious, and his tone couldn’t help but be a little hurried. He asked Baheshtur, “What happened after that? How was the battle?”
Baheshtur smiled. He recalled the battle last night and said, “When I saw that the garrison at the north city gate had already made preparations, I didn’t dare to be too careless.”
He paused for a moment and continued,
“When we were five hundred meters apart, I ordered the Rhodok Sergeants to hold their s.h.i.+eld in front. Then, the Rhodok Sharpshooters followed closely behind. Then, I arranged the Vaegir Marksmen behind the Rhodok Sharpshooters, and finally the Ravenstern Rangers.”
Baheshtur first explained his formation.
“Then, maintain the formation and slowly advance forward.”
Kant listened to Baheshtur’s words, and the scene from last night in front of the north city city gate was took shape in his mind.
Baheshtur continued, “Then, at a distance of 300 meters, I ordered the Rhodok Sharpshooters to shoot directly.”
At a distance of 300 meters, Kant nodded.
Rhodok Sharpshooters were equipped with siege crossbow, and its power was extremely shocking. Even at a distance of 300 meters, they could pierce through the inlaid iron-scale armor. Compared to Vaegir Marksmen and Ravenstern Rangers, their shooting range was more than twice as long.
“Well done!” Kant commented. Using the advantage of his own army to find the opponent’s weak points to attack was a method that Baheshtur was very good at.
At a distance where the enemy could not be hit, it was effective to directly annihilate the enemy. It was nothing if Baheshtur could take down the north city gate of Lionheart City without any damage.
Baheshtur was cheered up by Kant’s praise.
To Baheshtur, there was nothing more wonderful than Kant’s praise.
Baheshtur said, “The guards at the north city gate are extremely unbearable.”
His tone was filled with contempt.
“After two rounds of shooting, they all collapsed!”
“Then, they threw down more than three hundred corpses and directly gave up guarding the north city gate. They just withdrew from Lionheart City!”
Kant was very surprised, “They left Lionheart City?”
Baheshtur said with certainty, “Yes, they left Lionheart City. The north city gate easily fell into our hands.”
“It’s even easier than taking down the south city gate!”
Kant thought for a while and said with a serious expression, “This is different from the war situation you predicted in your war plan. Do you have any ideas?”
Kant had carefully read and a.n.a.lyzed Baheshtur’s war plan.
Baheshtur had already considered the fact that the guards at the north city gate would be prepared in advance.
Baheshtur was even confident that the guards at the main city gate of Lionheart City would not only have 3,000 guards at the north city gate, but there would also be some private n.o.ble troops from the east.
The north city gate of Lionheart City was guarded by Count Rowan. Reeves, one of the four top n.o.ble families in the Dukedom of Leo’s South County. His private army was stationed there. Among the n.o.ble families in the South County, the four top n.o.ble families all had a group of small and medium-sized n.o.bles as their subordinates.
According to Baheshtur’s judgment, Count Rowan. Reese, as a top n.o.ble family, most likely had the means to communicate through magic.
In that case, he could order the n.o.bles in Lionheart City who were under him to send out private soldiers to a.s.sist in defense and increase the defense ability of the north city gate.
As long as he could hold on for a while longer, the reinforcements he sent out would be able to reach Lionheart City.
Count Rowan. Reese’s castle and manor were not very far from Lionheart City, only about fifty miles away.
If they sent out the heavy cavalries the moment they received the news, they might be able to make it in time for reinforcements.
After all, Baheshtur carried out a night attack from the south city gate to the north city gate. There was a distance of twenty miles. Among his troops, be it the Rhodok Sergeants or the archers, none of them had horses. Even though they were a powerful level 5 troop cla.s.s and could move quickly, there was still a gap between them and the heavy cavalries.
Baheshtur’s war plan had completely taken this into consideration.
Furthermore, there was a concrete plan to defeat the heavy cavalries sent by Count Rowan. Reese.
However, none of them were used.
Although the north city city gate had been captured by them, the battle situation was far from what was expected.
The profits from Lionheart City were definitely not a small amount. Even a top n.o.ble would not give up so easily.
