Chapter 251 Battle of Bido Castle 7

The army on the right wing was defeated!

The generals of the Kent army saw a scene that was hard for them to accept. They thought that the archers could fight the enemy's fire crossbows on equal terms... or at least they could hold out longer.

The previous musket volley attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and then the right wing of the Kent army was killed in pieces by the Arda people's bayonet attack under the gaze of both sides.

This result had a more direct impact on the officers and soldiers at the bottom. It was obvious that the morale of the Kent army dropped instantly, while the morale of the coalition army soared.

The deafening sound of fighting sounded again. As the morale of the coalition army rose and fell, the coalition army forced the enemy to retreat step by step.

The Arda army also reloaded its ammunition, turned around, and began to shoot from the right of the Kent army.

The morale of the Kent army, which was suddenly hit by side fire, fell to a low point, and there were many soldiers who turned around and fled without authorization.

Jaais whipped an officer who was obviously in a panic, and shouted angrily: "Go! Lead the reserve troops to stop the enemy on the right wing!"

He had already planned to retreat, but the collapse of the right wing put him in a dilemma of semi-encirclement. If he rashly issued a retreat order, it would most likely turn into a rout.

The reserve troops rushed forward, but what made Jaais vomit blood was that the Alda people's fire crossbows scattered them.

Originally, in Jaais's arrangement, the reserve troops were selected as second-line troops. Their equipment and quality were inferior. He was too anxious to expect such troops to stop the Alda people.

In addition, the artillery of the Alda army has never been idle. The artillery company first concentrated its firepower to destroy several crossbow carts of the Kent army, and then began to bombard their reserve troops.

In order to reduce casualties, and to prevent these guys who were repeatedly exclaiming "magic" after being hit by a few shots from scattering, Jaais had to let the reserve troops lie in the bushes.

Even so, by the time the reserve troops were called to fill the right wing, the number of people was nearly half of that at the beginning of the battle.

Failure was inevitable, and Jais ordered a retreat.

As expected, except for the knights and a few elite soldiers who could maintain basic order, most of the soldiers ran around like headless flies.

Earl Parker waved the flag at the right time, and the phalanx that had been staying in the rear as a reserve immediately stepped forward to join the pursuit.

Jais fled eastward in a hurry under the protection of the family knights, and other lords of all sizes who were attached to the Kent family also took care of themselves.

The coalition forces chased the fleeing soldiers for several miles before withdrawing their troops. When they returned to the garrison, it was already evening.

…

"Hahaha!"

"Drink, drink!"

After nightfall, the whole garrison was filled with laughter. A pile of bonfires were lit, and officers and soldiers from various departments feasted and drank around the bonfires.

Although the ultimate goal of this battle, Biddo Castle, has not been captured, today's victory is of great significance, and it is really unreasonable not to celebrate. In order to celebrate this great victory, the lords and generals unanimously agreed to reward the army.

When the Kent army retreated, it was obvious that they had no time to clean up their own camps, and all the supplies inside were cheap for the coalition forces.

When cleaning the Kent army's camp, in order to allow their side to seize more spoils, some very unpleasant things happened between the armies of various territories. After returning, the old Earl Price Parker, who personally led the cavalry to pursue the enemy, proposed to collect the spoils first, and after occupying Biddo Castle, everyone would discuss a fair distribution plan that would take care of all parties.

Due to the prestige of Earl Parker, everyone agreed to his proposal.

After cleaning the battlefield, the military camps began to slaughter pigs and sheep. On weekdays, the lower-level soldiers ate simple food such as black bread, and tonight they can finally enjoy a feast of meat.

Because they had gained a lot, and in order to gain a good reputation and maintain morale, the lords were happy to show their generosity for a whole night. After all, the newly captured pigs and sheep were still "public goods".

In the house where the lords and generals gathered, the atmosphere was even more joyful. Everyone was toasting and talking about today's battle with great interest.

Lieutenant Colonel Bryce Alder, the commander of the Arda army, became a small focus of the banquet. After all, the Arda army made a lot of efforts in today's battle.

Everyone watched the Arda army march steadily in a thin three-row formation, risking arrows, and defeated the right-wing archers of the Kent army within a few minutes after approaching, and then killed the counterattack of the opponent's reserve, and the collapse of the right wing eventually spread to the entire Kent army.

"Bryce, let's have a drink!"

Derrick of the Heller family raised his glass and clinked it heavily with the glass in Bryce's hand.

"Cheers!"

Bryce was not modest, and he and Derrick drank the wine in their glasses.

Today, the army of the Heller family benefited a lot from the army of Arda. The Porteri infantry and the Arda infantry formed the left wing of the coalition army, but they were lined up behind the Arda infantry. When the Arda army attacked, the Porteri infantry followed them. When the battle entered the melee stage, even they could easily deal with the Kent soldiers who were already scared by firearms.

This battle washed away the shame of the previous defeat caused by Derrick's recklessness, so Derrick was still very grateful to the Arda people.

Including Earl Parker, some of the famous people in the coalition came to Bryce to drink. Although many of them still had the arrogant attitude of nobles facing civilians, their tone was much softer than when they first met.

There is no doubt that today's battle has proved to the Northwest Territories that Lake Heart Town has a strong armed force.

Not only are the weapons powerful, but the officers and soldiers are of high quality. Some generals who participated in the rebellion last year secretly compared them with the elite troops directly under the royal family and were surprised to find that the level of this force was already above that.

However, there is still an important shortcoming - there are few people. A force of one thousand people is too few to occupy a slightly larger town.

But who knows how many such troops Lake Heart Town still has?

In the future, they will have to carefully consider when dealing with the "exiled family" that rules the most remote territory in the northwest.

Although Bryce is quite conceited about his alcohol tolerance, he is also a little drunk at this time. Logically speaking, as a commander, he shouldn't drink so much, but since the people who urged him to drink were the lords from various places, this was a bit troublesome, and he couldn't make things awkward between them and the Graman family.

In order to deal with this situation, only Bryce came to the banquet among the two battalion commanders. Joyce didn't come on the pretext of being injured. He was shot in the arm during the daytime battle, but fortunately it wasn't serious.

In case of any emergency, Joyce would take over Bryce's command of the troops.
