Unknown Knight

Chapter 412 Each Has Its Own Response

Fortunately, Saiga Khan still had some power. He saw that the tent was already in chaos. If he did nothing and let them continue to quarrel, they would have to disperse. That would be very fun. So he shouted:

"quiet!"

This calmed down the noisy Nayans in the tent. Although Saiga Khan was also very panicked, he had been in power for so many years and had developed a strong psychological quality, so he was still able to remain calm.

Seeing that the tent had become quiet, Saiga Khan issued more than a dozen military orders in a row and asked the messengers waiting outside the tent to convey them.

Seeing Saiga Khan so calm, the panicked Danayans in the tent finally found their backbone, calmed down, and looked forward to the Khan's arrangements.

Under the leadership of Khan Saiga, the Kugit army retreated in batches. Among them, 1,500 elite soldiers, each with two horses, marched quickly to Lana City for support. The rest of the army covered each other and retreated to the royal city of Turga first.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Count Ran Hu, who was guarding the city, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had fulfilled his mission and finally completed the task of blocking the enemy as ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince.

However, in this battle, nearly 100 of the 500 defenders of Sajiche Fort were killed or wounded, and the passive Ran Hu also became angry. Now that the enemy has withdrawn, given his character, he certainly cannot let it go. After gesturing on the military map of the main fort, Ran Hu made a decision.

Soon, more than a hundred elite cavalrymen rushed out of the Sajic Fort. They followed the retreating Kugits from a distance, carrying out night raids from time to time and killing any Kugits who fell behind.

These more than one hundred elite cavalrymen followed the Kugit army to the east of Aichmor. When they saw that Saiga Khan had led the army towards the city of Turga, they sent three horses to Sagiche Fort to report to Ran Hu.

Ran Hu quickly found out the enemy's movements and decided to send out 200 infantrymen from Sajiche Fort. After joining the more than 100 cavalrymen from before, they headed towards Turbuk Fort north of Aichemor.

When they arrived at Fort Turbuk, more than 200 soldiers from Fort Lerag had been waiting for half a day. The two armies joined together, a total of 500 soldiers, and launched an attack on Fort Turbuk.

Saiga Khan's retreat was rather hasty and he did not have time to take away the four tortoise-shell ramming tanks. Although they set them on fire when they retreated, one of them was not completely burned and was rescued by Ran Hu's men.

He also asked the craftsmen in the city to dismantle the tortoise-shell chariot that was destroyed by the stone bullet, and use the usable parts on the rescued tortoise-shell chariot to assemble a usable tortoise-shell chariot.

Then, after Ran Hu personally inspected it, he realized the great role of this tortoise-shell battering ram in siege warfare, so he used a method of fighting the enemy in their own way and used this device they had developed against the Kugits in the battle to attack Turbuk Fort.

It can be said that this tortoise shell battering ram is really useful. It easily broke through the gate of Turbuk Fort. Ran Hu commanded the army to enter in formation and easily occupied the castle which had only more than a hundred defenders.

Aix was very happy when he received the letter, and he directly asked Ran Hu to move to Turbuk Castle. Many of his relatives in his hometown were good at grazing, and the nearby land was very good and could be cultivated and grazed, which was just right for their lives. It also opened up a good source of horses for Aix.

As for Niza of Sarand, the new Sultan has been maintaining close contact with Aix since Aix returned to the territory. The two sides have been exchanging letters constantly, especially after Aix started using falcon communication.

This time, Aix was facing siege from three sides, so he sent a letter to ask him to send troops to support. After receiving the letter, Niza immediately agreed to send troops. As soon as the main forces in Harma City and other places were withdrawn, he began to prepare to send troops.

Since the southern part of the Khergit Khanate was empty, the Sarranid army led by Niza Sultan easily captured the city of Harma and other places.

On this day, Niza had just captured Fort Ahun and was preparing to besiege Lana City when scouts from the front reported that more than a thousand cavalrymen had arrived to reinforce Lana City.

Niza immediately ordered to stop the attack, stay in place and wait and see, and send more scouts to Lana City to grasp the enemy's movements in time.

Soon, after Saiga Khan returned to Turga City for a short rest, he immediately led his troops to Lana City for support.

After learning of Saiga Khan's actions, Niza did not hesitate to order his soldiers to drive the looted livestock and supplies, as well as most of the liberated herdsmen and miners, back to his own Sharez.

He was deeply influenced by Aix and knew the principle of losing land to save people. He was not greedy for the cities and strongholds he had already occupied. He successively gave up the occupied cities such as Harma and only occupied Uruzdak Castle, which was closer to his territory and had a more dangerous terrain.

At the same time, since the army withdrew quickly and had more time to respond, Niza ordered his troops to plunder the occupied areas thoroughly.

When Saga Khan arrived at Harma with siege equipment and a large army, he found a very clean city. The food and fodder in the warehouses, the livestock in the herds, and the young women left behind had all been looted, leaving only the elderly, the weak, and the sick who were starving for food.

Saiga Khan was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but there was nothing he could do. This trip was fruitless. Not only did he lose a large amount of military supplies, but he also lost two important places, Turbuk Fort and Uruzdak Fort.

As a result, the whole country was full of complaints, the national strength became increasingly weak, and the Khergit Khanate was no longer able to fight. Saiga Khan had to give up and sent envoys to Aix to seek peace.

At the same time, Aix did not wait passively. After learning that Niza would send troops to support, Aix immediately decided to take the initiative.

On the one hand, he sent Count Fatis with 500 elite cavalry to harass the relatively slow-moving army of the Rhodok Kingdom.

Fatis led this cavalry to take advantage of mobility and frequently harassed the army led by King Gryphus. Not only were rocket attacks on the camp every night a must, but they also raided the Rhodok people's follow-up food and fodder teams from time to time, causing the Rhodok Kingdom's army to be distracted, exhausted, and their marching speed became very slow.

On the other hand, the territory mobilized two thousand militiamen, in cooperation with one thousand regular troops, led by Count Resarit, and prepared to use solid city walls and sharp city defense equipment to wait in the city of Rivadin to fight against the upcoming army of the Rhodok Kingdom.

Our Prince Aix personally led two thousand elite soldiers from the territory and two thousand troops recruited by the Kingdom of Vigia to the front line of Talboria and Reporet to meet with his old boss, His Royal Highness King Harlaus.

According to intelligence from the front, Aix's old rival, Lady Anna, has sent out all her cavalry and is constantly looting villages and caravans in the Talboliya area.

The army of the Kingdom of Swadia has basically assembled, with about five to six thousand people. Led by King Harlaus, they are setting out from the city of Suno and heading towards Talbolia. Suno is very close to Talbolia, so Aix had to speed up the march, fearing that if they were late, King Harlaus would gain the upper hand.
