Black Iron Crown

Twenty-fifth October, twenty-sixth year of the Empire.

Rainer started to move towards Fort Creek. Along the way, he could clearly see the burned villages and farmland.

Countless remains of corpses were randomly discarded on the ground. The corpses had already rotted beyond recognition, and were eaten by all kinds of animals and insects.

Looking at the tragic situation here, Reiner frowned slightly, he didn't know what the situation in Fort Creek was like at this time.

Although it is possible for a castle to stick to it for a year, Leiner is worried about any accidents, and in that case, it would be a waste of time.

Two days passed, and Rainer finally saw the Confederate army besieging Fort Creek on the horizon.

It seems that they haven't attacked the city yet, because Leiner saw these soldiers sitting lazily on the ground, or playing and playing in groups of three or four.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sentinels arranged in advance found Leiner and shouted loudly.

His shout instantly made the whole camp boil.

The originally lazy soldiers jumped up from the ground in an instant, picked up their weapons and began to look around, searching for the enemy's position.

On the other hand, Leiner made a decisive decision and yelled directly at the following knights: "Follow me!"

There were more than one hundred fief knights, thirty blood-colored griffin knights, and one hundred and twenty blood-colored griffin retinues following Leiner, adding up to 300 knights in bonuses. behind.

Upon seeing this, Count Valas immediately raised his lance, and surrounded Leiner with Lumbare and the rest of the Scarlet Griffon Knights.

If something unexpected happened to Reiner, no matter how brilliant the result was, it would definitely not be a victory, but a complete fiasco!

The power generated by the impact of more than three hundred knights could almost destroy the world. The sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded through the entire enemy camp like thunder.

Facing such a terrifying charge, the fear in their hearts was aroused at this moment. The war horses in the south are thin and small, and many knights choose to dismount and walk when they fight.

Therefore, even veterans who have experienced many battles, they have not seen many horse charges.

Most of the knights under Reiner's command rode tall horses from intermediate horse farms,

The shoulder height even reached an astonishing 1.7 meters, even taller than ordinary people with two heads.

Such tall war horses could hardly be called horses in the eyes of these soldiers, and no one could connect these ferocious beasts like wild beasts with the short horses in the south like donkeys in the north.

"Run!" Without any surprise, this group of soldiers didn't even dare to face the knights, and quickly broke up and fled before they rushed to the front.

However, how can two legs run faster than four legs? Although the endurance of human beings is far stronger than that of war horses, no one can run faster than war horses in such a distance.

Reiner led the knights like a flood that destroyed the world. The lance was broken but the sound was endless, and the soldiers were pierced by the lance and screamed miserably.

The horse's breastplate was paired with a bulldozer whose speed was almost unparalleled in strength. Only the crackling sound could be heard non-stop. Countless soldiers were knocked into the air and trampled under the horse's hooves, their bones shattered.

"Long live! Lord Earl! Our reinforcements are here!"

"It's Grand Duke Leiner! It's Grand Duke Leiner!"

"Great! We! We are finally saved!"

During the siege of Fort Creek, the soldiers guarding the city wall were under tremendous psychological pressure every day.

The endless rain of arrows made them feel like they were in hell. As long as the arrows scratched a little bit, it would be the result of infection and death.

Even under Earl Creek's desperate morale boosting, the soldiers' mood can only be said to be barely maintained.

Now, seeing the arrival of reinforcements, their suppressed hearts burst out instantly, and the joy of remaining alive filled everyone's heart.

They embraced each other, reveled, and the sound of cheers went straight into the sky.

Earl Creek looked at the reinforcements below the city wall, and the circles of his eyes couldn't help turning red.

During this period of time, the psychological pressure he endured can be imagined.

In this way, Leiner rushed back and forth in the camp. To be on the safe side, he did not destroy other facilities such as tents, fearing that the horse's speed would be reduced as a result.

When Rainer charged back and forth, he looked at the gate of Fort Creek, and saw that there was no reaction at all, so he couldn't help frowning.

Logically speaking, if they go out of the city at this time to cooperate with themselves in fighting, they will definitely cause more casualties to the enemy.

But unfortunately, Earl Crick's battlefield experience is not rich, not even as good as his daughter, and he can't understand the current battlefield situation at all.

After nearly ten minutes of unscrupulous back and forth impact, Leiner felt the speed of the horse under his crotch slow down, and there was still no movement in Fort Creek.

So in desperation, Leiner put up the flag in his hand, rode his horse and ran towards his army behind him.

Seeing the knights leaving, these soldiers couldn't help but let out a long breath, showing the expression of the rest of their lives after the festival, finally passed, such a charge is really unbearable.

Reiner returned to his main formation, looking at the messy enemy camp behind him, he couldn't help frowning, if the defenders in Fort Creek cooperated with him, it would definitely cause greater losses to the enemy.

But soon, Reiner no longer entangled with this matter.

"Not bad, this charge caused 930 casualties!"

From the changes in his meritorious service, Reiner can deduce what kind of victory he has achieved just now.

This is already quite a brilliant achievement. In less than ten minutes, the enemy lost more than 900 people.

It's a pity that Leiner's army was in a marching state just now. Otherwise, if we cooperate with Leiner and the defenders in the castle, we may directly solve the enemy.

But now, looking at the slowly gathering and retreating enemy troops, Leiner knew that the best chance was gone.

They were slowly retreating, and some soldiers were left to guard against another raid by Leiner, but Leiner did not immediately order the army to start fighting.

Now the size of the army under his command is not like the one or two hundred people in the past. Now, if you want to change the formation, you don’t even think about it for ten or twenty minutes. In those twenty minutes, the enemy has already run away, and there is no way to chase him. Therefore, Leiner can only let the enemy leave now.

The soldiers were ordered to set up camp outside the city, and the gate of Fort Creek was opened accordingly.

"My dear son-in-law, you are finally here!" Earl Creek enthusiastically walked out of the city gate and greeted Reiner.

Reiner was a little speechless for his father-in-law who had no strategic vision, but he couldn't say anything in person, he could only smile awkwardly.
