The infidels brought their armies before the walls of Suno. Though the people of this city are not of the tribes, they had shown their loyalty to me and more importantly -- this city was mine. I won it through fire, blood, sword and arrow and I would not reliquinsh it to the likes of Rhodoki rabble who are too meek to even mount a pony.
Though the Rhodoks were great in number, ours were greater in spirit. 936 versus 100. By the time it was over, King Graveth's host was broken and the city had a new moat made entirely of Rhodok blood. Many brave warriors fell in Suno's defense, but many, MANY more Rhodoks joined their ancestors empty-handed that day.
Game: Mount & Blade, playing as a Khergit Khanate horse archer. The Swadians are utterly destroyed at this point, with 3/4 of their lands going to us, 1/4 going to the Nords. Everybody is at war with everybody. Suno's defenders were a mix of Vaergir, Swadian, Nord and even forest bandits but with very few Khergit among them. Basically, they were prisoners I had freed from various war parties that I ambushed. They were using a siege tower, and I had enough Guards/Sergeants/Huscarls (and some stout companions) to wedge them in at the point of attack and just hack away. Plus, I have 250+ skill in bow so I was picking off nobles and Rhodok Sergeants by the bushel as the siege tower was being rolled forward. They spent three successive days trying to assult the city, and finally withdraw with collective losses of about 400-500. We lost 7 killed, 13 wounded. TOTAL.
