Ryan actually cannot command an army of tens of thousands of people. After more than ten days of training, he clearly knows that he, who has never had such experience, cannot turn an army of tens of thousands of people into a powerful combat force.
But he could command a small army and that was enough.
Knights, a small number of soldiers, and general direction decisions are the truth of this war that is completely different from other nobles.
He asked the soldiers to fight on the bridge, and the frontal fight was about who was stronger. This had nothing to do with the command, but everything to do with the knights.
He asked the remaining soldiers to form an entire army, which dealt a blow to the morale of the other side. Strictly speaking, this was a strategy and had nothing to do with command.
Similarly, at this moment, the front army of the army, which is several kilometers away from the battlefield, crosses over Thunder Sound Gorge to prepare for a two-sided attack on the soldiers of Count Weiss, which also accounts for more strategies.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins."
Ryan Looking at the tragic battlefield of ten bridges, he ordered the demons Mages to open three more stone bridges.
"It can't be done."
The demons Mages cried out that the magic power in their bodies had been exhausted. You must know that the ten stone bridges were not simple stone bridges, but were maintained with magical power. Otherwise, with so many soldiers, knights and barbarians fighting on them, the ordinary stone bridges would have been severed by the huge force.
Until now, those stone bridges are intact, and even if a barbarian's giant ax falls on them, they can only burst out some gravel. The magic power required to build such a stone bridge is not simple.
"Forget it."
Ryan didn't care either. He wanted to build a few more stone bridges and also wanted to drag more of Count Weiss's soldiers to fight on the bridge, because according to the time, the army that was encircling the rear was about to arrive, and the pressure on them might be a bit high.
Before Ryan saw Count Weiss's army, he didn't know there would be so many soldiers wearing animal skins who looked like savages. They were very strong.
Boom!!!
Opposite Thunder Sound Gorge, Count Weiss and the others suddenly looked to the rear. They didn't know when a large army appeared behind them. The flags standing in the army were obviously not reinforcements from him or Thundercloud County nobles.
But the enemy on the opposite side!
"Damn, they're coming around!"
What is the role of the former army? They have all the tools of the army in their hands. Their role is to open roads, build roads when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and when encountering terrain like Thunder Sound Gorge, they will crawl down bit by bit, clear weeds, deal with wild beasts or insects and snakes, and clear a road for the army to climb down from one side and climb up from the other side.
At this moment, Ryan suddenly thought of a strange army, which finally became the last straw that overwhelmed the morale of the Count Weiss army.
In addition to the barbarians, there are more soldiers from Count Weiss, those warriors wearing animal skins.
Tens of thousands of people were almost all these soldiers, so much so that Ryan was guessing where the regular troops in Count Weiss's Territory had gone.
But it's not hard to guess.
Near Glimmer Territory, the ground shook with rumbles and was trampled by iron hooves. Thousands of soldiers followed behind them and headed towards the logistics camp.
Harrington looked at the arrival of the army 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 Count 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.
"What Lord Ryan said is right. After Count Weiss withdraws Thundercloud County, it will definitely leave an army to destroy food and grass, but the number is so large."
But Harrington didn't care anymore. Everything was planned by Lord Ryan. Although Viscount Hogg was an accident, this war would never be a long-lasting one, so it was no big deal if the food was burned.
What's more...
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 food out for the past few days. Even the slaves other than Zero Crossing Prefecture didn't know where he had sent the food.
"Put 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 Church. He should have immediately changed his stance and became Count Weiss's enemy.
But...
"Centaur Potion."
Viscount Hogg firmly grasped the reins. No matter what the result was, as long as he completed this matter, he would be able to get the promotion Sky Knight Magic Potion. Although he has not reached that step yet, it would be the most uncomfortable if he really reaches that step but has no resources.
He believed in his talent, otherwise he would not be valued by Imperial House and marry a Imperial House woman.
"Done!"
Viscount Hogg considers himself a humble person who is good at learning the strengths of others, so when Iron Mountain County was defeated by Ryan with flames, he also felt the advantages brought by flames in several subsequent wars.
"Push it to me!"
Viscount Hogg did not rush into the camp directly, but led the cavalry to attack from the side. As for the frontal attack, of course it was left to the soldiers under Count Weiss.
He was worried about some trap.
In fact, there were indeed traps, but they were not outside or on the edge of the camp. The cavalry and infantry rushed into the camp, and torches with kerosene instantly ignited all the tents. The burning speed shocked even Viscount Hogg.
His torch was thrown far away, but within a few seconds it had spread to his vicinity, causing the war horse to not dare to move forward.
"How could it be so easy?"
Viscount Hogg turned the horse's head and reached the other side where it had not been spread. Knight's Greatsword tore open the tent's opening.
"No?"
"How come there isn't?"
"Lord Viscount, those grain carts are all filled with hay."
Hay? How could it be hay? Where did they get so much hay?
Viscount Hogg roared in shock, he didn't see the food at all.
Then his face turned extremely ugly.
"Damn it, Ryan knows what I'm going to do!"
Viscount Hogg didn't hesitate at all. This place was left to Count Weiss's soldiers. He had to rush back now.
No matter what, several food and grass camps near Glimmer Territory will be burned, and then he will go to Count Weiss to get Centaur Potion and other magic medicine resources, and then quickly return to Silver Stream County.
He already felt that Count Weiss couldn't 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 anything here... No, there is here. I have burned all their food. An army of tens of thousands will starve to death in a few days at most."
"Yes, that's it. I'm going to get what belongs to me."
On the other side of the camp, Harrington watched the cavalry of Viscount Hogg retreating away, and couldn't help but envy them. The cavalry was very mobile. As long as they carried a little food, they could go wherever they wanted, and no one could stop them.
"But we'll have it soon."
Taking a deep breath, when the fire in the camp had almost extinguished itself, Harrington took out Knight's Greatsword.
"Soldiers! The glory belongs to Ryan, kill me!"
