Black Iron Crown

September 4th, Empire Thirty-two.

After the rain, the sun shines.

After raining for a day and a night, the dark clouds finally cleared, and the sun ruled the world like a king again.

The mist in the air still hasn't dissipated, and there is a strong smell of blood and rust everywhere. Most of the corpses of the original defenders of Kronborg are no longer human, and the stench of corpses lingers after being discarded in the wild for a long time.

At this time, the little emperor didn't know that Kronborg had fallen, and he still imagined that the grassland people were blocked by the border fortress of Kronborg.

However, the fortress is just a fortress after all, it is not the Great Wall, even if it is the Great Wall, its greater role is to shorten the supply line and slow down the enemy's attack speed.

What's more, Karenburg is just a castle, and it's not even stuck in a more important position.

When this large army gathers together, it moves even slower, but the little emperor doesn't care about this now. In his opinion, he only needs to let the army under his command run over him, and he can easily defeat the enemy.

But soon, reality slapped the little emperor hard. He looked at the castle in front of him that no longer flew his own flag, and his heart became cold instantly.

Then this disappointment turned into anger, and he pointed at the castle in front of him and roared loudly, intending to kill Hamel Khan.

However, at this time Hamel Khan had already ordered the coalition soldiers under his command to leave Kalunborg.

As nomads on the grassland, they were not skilled in defending the city. If they fought against the enemy on the city wall, Hamel Khan was worried that they would be pulled into their rhythm by the opponent.

Therefore, after he ordered the steppe soldiers to evacuate Kronborg, he withdrew, leaving less than a thousand people stationed there.

Hamel Khan was unwilling to send large troops into Karen Fort to engage in a tug-of-war with the little emperor, but he was equally unwilling to return the success or failure to the little emperor.

Because that would allow him to regain a safe resting base without worrying about other things.

With such a base, many of Hamel Khan's tricks cannot be used.

For example, when he faced Emperor Kaffit's Eastern Expedition to sweep up the grassland, he often used sneak attacks, harassment, and tired enemies.

With the protection of the city wall, all these tactics will be ineffective. It is impossible for them to cross the tall city wall to attack the imperial army.

What's more, how could he casually return the castle that was captured at such a high price? Although he didn't want to spend the main force on defending the city, he still didn't want the imperial army to have the protection of the city wall.

Within 80 kilometers around Karen Fort, there is no second castle at all. Even if the distance of 80 kilometers is crossed, most of the castles there are small forts, and even the garrison can only accommodate a thousand. It's just a person, and it's not of much use at all.

At this time, Hamel Khan has broken up the army under his command and divided it into several parts to perform different tasks.

Emperor Carter couldn't capture the main force of the army led by Hamel Khan, so he could only camp under the city of Kronborg, hoping to regain the fortress and find a safe foothold again.

However, Hamel Khan did not do what he wanted, and had already arranged a team to deal with this matter.

Just when Emperor Carter was standing a thousand meters away from Kronborg, wanting to observe the situation on the city wall, he suddenly found that there was chaos behind him, and the sound of gold and iron horses came.

He frowned and immediately asked his personal followers to investigate the reason.

"Your Majesty, it's the cavalry of the prairie people. They sneaked into our rear. The serf conscripts over there were thrown into chaos after being attacked, and they have been suppressed now!"

"How about the enemy's casualties?" The little emperor asked a little aggrieved in his heart.

"We lost more than 500 serf conscripts, but more than half of them were caused by the stampede in the chaos!

"As for the enemy's casualties..." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There were no enemy casualties!"

The little emperor frowned and wanted to get angry, so he heard the servant say: "Your Majesty, those grassland people are all riding horses, coming and going like the wind, they attacked us suddenly, and the serf soldiers were not trained. It is normal to have such losses, we just need to be more vigilant!"

As the person who served the little emperor personally, this servant had an extraordinary relationship, so he dared to say such things to Carter.

The little emperor nodded slightly after hearing this, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He didn't know why he was angry. In short, he was not in a good mood these days.

But looking at the subordinate in front of him, Carter's irritability eased a little. He personally walked up to help him up, took his hand and returned to the big tent together.

However, the good times didn't last long. The little emperor had just stepped out of the big tent when he heard a little commotion in the flank camps.

The subordinates in the big tent hurried out, simply tidied up their clothes and combed their messy hair, and then ran towards the camp.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor stopped him and said, "Don't go, go back and have a good rest, I'll let someone else go!"

Afterwards, he couldn't help but push him back into the big tent, and sent other people to check the flanking camp.

Sure enough, it was the prairie people who were attacking again.

Hundreds of them stormed the west camp that had just been set up, and caused more than 300 losses to the imperial army. The little emperor lost 800 people just one day after arriving at the city of Kronborg.

But fortunately, these 800 people are serf conscripts, and the real elite are in the core part of the camp, not on the periphery.

But speaking of it, if all the troops on the periphery were regular troops, it might not be possible to cause such a large number of casualties.

In this way, the prairie people launched a total of seven raids in one day. Whenever the little emperor and everyone in the camp felt that the other party would not show up again, another sneak attack came suddenly, which made everyone tireless.

There was more and more anger accumulated in the little emperor's heart, but he had nowhere to vent it, he could only sulk in his big tent.

When night fell, the little emperor felt that it was time for him to live in peace. He just wanted to take back this Kronborg as soon as possible and regain a safe base.

However, at this moment, faint shouts and killing sounds were suddenly heard from the outside.

The little emperor suddenly got up from the bed in the frame, poked his head out and said angrily: "Order the knights to patrol around at night! Bring some regular soldiers and serfs together, I don't believe they can sneak attack me like this!"

Sure enough, in the subsequent sneak attacks, the losses of the imperial army were much smaller, and it seemed that because they failed to succeed several times, the opponent felt frustrated and did not take the next step for a long time.

But just when the knights were about to fall asleep, another more urgent voice came in, and a large group of prairie men attacked the camp.
