Lord of Riders
Chapter 280
The army of the poison spear tribal alliance and the army of another small country called Eriksson launched a fierce attack on Aaron.
These two countries are small countries with a much smaller population than those on the continent of karadia, but almost all the men of the poison spear tribal alliance are soldiers. They live in the jungle and live in a harsh environment from birth. Of course, in the end, they were defeated by the powerful attack of the Anglo empire.
Eriksson is another small island country with a total population of only 400000, but they sent 50000 people to participate in the war. Those in power, that is, their king, were originally puppets supported by the Anglo empire. Therefore, the little king naturally dared not not carry out the orders of the Anglo empire.
In addition, Dunn also asked queen Sasha to use a small means to send troops in exchange for villages with the same population and army, which were allocated to the king of Eriksson kingdom from the native land of the Anglo empire.
The idiot King selected by the Anglo Empire naturally thought he had picked up a big bargain and took the initiative to hand over his soldiers to Dunn.
In fact, this is just a tactic used by Dunn to weaken the military strength of Eriksson kingdom. Of course, no matter how stupid the king of this country is, the combat effectiveness of this country\'s army is still good.
The Anglo-Saxon Empire updated the equipment of the army this time.
The combination of spear and dagger was not suitable for siege. At Dunn\'s request, the infantry weapons were replaced with shields, daggers and axes.
In this way, when facing the crossbow soldiers of rodoc Kingdom, they can have stronger defense in order to reduce casualties.
The soldiers of rodoc Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, but they had no way out and had to rely on the city wall to resist tenaciously. It\'s too late to get out of town and surrender. They didn\'t run fast enough. At first, hundreds of soldiers escaped, but when the number of soldiers escaped reached two or three thousand, King Griffith gave an order that anyone around them could kill him on the spot and then go to the king to receive the reward.
In this way, no one dares to escape casually. They are likely to die in the hands of anyone around them. As long as they have some suspicious actions, they are considered to have escaped.
Of course, this also caused some bad reactions. Some soldiers who had contradictions originally took the opportunity to fight, that is, they said the other party wanted to escape. Although some were stopped, many soldiers died in murder.
The kingdom of rodoc has 20000 crossbows, and the rest are ordinary infantry.
In two days, the most serious casualties were the crossbow men. Rodoc\'s Crossbow men almost lost their lives in just two days in the battle with the affiliated countries of the Anglo empire. Then the two sides entered the stage of white-edged war. The remaining 40000 men and horses in the kingdom of rodoc had almost no chance of winning under the attack of the Anglo Empire, and the huge casualties completely collapsed the morale of the kingdom of rodoc. The soldiers fought reluctantly under the supervision of the Lords, but it had no impact on the war situation.
Two days passed quickly, and the number of soldiers in rodoc kingdom was less than 30000.
The wounded soldiers could not get effective treatment, and they could not recover their combat effectiveness in a short time. Therefore, when the Anglo Empire stopped attacking, there were less than 20000 soldiers in the kingdom of rodoc who could continue to fight.
King grievous looked at the enemy camp outside the city and felt a sense of despair. There were less than 20000 soldiers left, but the number of the enemy was still more than 200000. King Griffith didn\'t know exactly how many more.
Naturally, the garrison in the city is not short of food. There are corpses inside and outside the city wall. These corpses are enough for the soldiers to eat for a long time. At the beginning of each day, the enemy will send new food. But they simply could not resist so many enemy troops.
Griffith stayed up all night. On the third day of the siege, before dawn, the troops of the Anglo Empire launched a new attack again.
There was no one to clean up the corpses under the city. The garrison didn\'t have the manpower and energy to clean up the corpses. The people of the Anglo Empire outside the city were even more reluctant to clean up these corpses, because they found that with more dead people, they didn\'t even need to set up ladders. Step directly on the slope composed of corpses and you can get to a place not far below the city wall. Just reach out and climb up the wall. But take a risk. The enemy will cut off your hand at this time.
However, when the Anglo Empire besieged the kingdom of rodoc, the army of Shaoming kingdom had begun to move to the areas occupied by the Anglo empire.
The troops dispatched by Shaoming kingdom are still only 50000 troops and various logistics support forces with thousands of people. And they\'re all cavalry.
However, Shaoming Kingdom has not launched an attack on any town, and the cavalry of Shaoming Kingdom has not been fully equipped, so Shaoyu doesn\'t want to launch a frontal conflict with the enemy now.
However, the main reason is that Shaoyu doesn\'t want to launch a siege and seize towns and villages that don\'t make much sense. These can be taken back by the enemy at any time. Moreover, with a large number of enemy troops, the siege will be more time-consuming and laborious, and the loss of troops will be more serious. The troops of Shaoming kingdom can\'t compare with the Anglo Empire, so Shaoyu doesn\'t intend to fight against the Anglo empire.
Shao Yu found that the Anglo-Saxon Empire had some serious shortcomings, that is, their soldiers had to supply from the mainland, and it was difficult to supplement troops in the rodoc kingdom. Of course, the rodoc people resisted fiercely and were sent to the Anglo-Saxon empire as slaves. However, this problem led to the inability of the Anglo Empire to fight the war of attrition.
Constantly transporting troops from the sea, as an invading army, the Anglo Empire did not have any advantage in the mainland of caladia. Now the replenishment after the loss of troops is definitely a short board.
Although the strength and population of these countries on the continent of caradia are not as good as those of the Anglo Empire, these countries can quickly replenish their troops after heavy losses. This is to turn population superiority into military superiority.
However, the sea transportation cost of the Anglo empire was not low, and there were a large number of soldiers in one trip, but it was still unable to form an absolute military advantage in the continent of karadia.
Although so many people can crush any country, now the Anglo Empire has to face many countries on the continent of caradia. Although they are not all cooperative, they are still difficult to deal with.
These two countries are small countries with a much smaller population than those on the continent of karadia, but almost all the men of the poison spear tribal alliance are soldiers. They live in the jungle and live in a harsh environment from birth. Of course, in the end, they were defeated by the powerful attack of the Anglo empire.
