Black Iron Crown

Hearing the words of the experienced cavalry archer, Reiner immediately stood up from the ground, and the subordinates in the tent immediately began to help him put on the armor. Sir Corder and others rushed into Reiner under the notice of another subordinate. in the tent.

Leiner stood where he was and let his subordinates help him put on the armor. Several people looked at Leiner with their armor on.

"War... is coming..." Reiner didn't explain too much, just four short words let them understand the current situation.

"Earl Zhebo has led people to appear eighteen kilometers away, maybe even closer!" Reiner said: "Sir Kodd, immediately send someone to notify the other lords to prepare to assemble the army!"

Sir Corder hurried out of the tent after receiving the order, and Reiner said again: "Sir Valas, immediately gather all our cavalry, and you will command them for the time being!"

"Ser Leyland, assemble the infantry and make them ready for war at once!"

Two orders were issued, and they immediately walked out of the tent.

The tranquility of the past had disappeared in the camp of the Merland German Army at this time. The soldiers put on their suitably armored armor in a noisy manner, hung their long swords at their waists, and charged them with spears in their hands. Go out of your tent and assemble under the command of the captain.

Squads gathered one by one to form a brigade, and finally turned into a square formation. A total of two hundred Moreland sergeants were neatly arranged into a square formation, and the other troops were similar, although not as strict as theirs. , but they all formed a square matrix one by one.

The soldiers from the royal family were not vegetarians either. They were also soldiers who had followed the emperor to conquer the nomads a year ago. They moved very quickly and formed a square formation behind the Moland army.

This action also attracted the attention of the other lord's army, but they didn't know what it was because of, just like watching the Morland army gather together in full swing like a monkey show.

At this time, Reiner's armor was also put on, and he lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked out with a long sword on his waist and his chest raised.

He was very nervous, but he couldn't see it on the surface at all. Instead, he looked quite calm. He had to give other people and soldiers some confidence. If his Lord Baron felt fear, then how could they What courage and morale is there?

Walking out of the tent, I saw that all the troops had gathered in front of Leiner's tent, waiting for his next order.

If a person has reached the limit of ten thousand things and cannot see the limit, although one-tenth of ten thousand cannot reach such a point, there are still a lot of people, and densely packed human heads are just like this.

At this time, the camps of other lords' armies also began to make noise, shouting and cursing were endless, and their military discipline was almost non-existent. This era never paid attention to this thing. Although wars often occurred, most of them were In the fight between the little lords, the victory in the war only needs the soldiers under their command to be brave enough and strong enough. Besides, the knights, the first professional full-time fighters, are the main force on the battlefield, so the little lords don't pay much attention to formation and formation. military discipline.

In fact, the great lords do not have many troops under their command. Although many of the great lords' armies have some acceptable military discipline, after all, the main battles still require the contribution of low-level vassals.

What's more, military discipline requires long-term training and training. The productivity of this era is extremely low, and even the lords are not very rich. They would rather spend the money on other places, such as strengthening it. Castles, or making a few sets of excellent armor for myself and my children, or even holding more banquets that can improve my prestige, I don’t want to spend money on military discipline training.

It is true that many great lords know that formation is very important in battle, but they can only achieve some formations.

There are few armies here that can achieve the steely military discipline and revitalization of the Moreland sergeants.

Therefore, these grassroots leaders need to shout loudly, or even punch and kick to make these soldiers simply form a square formation to gather.

The lords rushed to his camp in a hurry after getting the news from Leiner.

"What's the matter, Baron Rainer?"

"Has Earl Zhebo come?"

"How did you find out about Count Zhebo?"

"Is this news true?"

They will form a circle and surround Leiner in the innermost part, asking in a hurry. They have gathered all the troops. Even if they are not sure whether Leiner's news is accurate, they still choose to believe it for safety's sake. he.

"Of course! It's true!" Leiner said loudly, and waited for the group of lords to calm down before saying: "I have thirty extremely mobile light cavalry, and their speed is very fast. For several days, they have been asked to run a distance of 20 kilometers to detect the traces of Earl Zhebo, and just now they reported to me that they found a very large army with the flag of Earl Zhebo heading in our direction Come here.

"This... how many people are there?"

"We must prepare as soon as possible for the upcoming battle!"

"According to my sentinel report, they have about 5,500 to 6,000 people, and they seem to be very well equipped. They are expected to arrive at Fort Babs this afternoon!" Reiner did not hide all this, and directly The true strength of the enemy told them.

Now everyone is ready to attack. At this point, no one will really retreat. Telling them that Earl Zhebo is so powerful will make them fight back.

"This... this is terrible!"

"What should we do? This is simply not a quantity we can compete with!"

"I...I think we should guard Babsburg!"

As soon as Rainer revealed Earl Zhebo's strength, almost all the lords were pessimistic.

"Everyone!" Reiner yelled loudly, and the lords who had been expressing their opinions at once fell silent to see what Reiner had to say.

"Indeed! Earl Zhebo has assembled a very large army and is walking towards us. To be honest, I'm not very confident that I can defeat him!"

"But!" Reiner raised his voice again, interrupting the lords who wanted to express their opinions again, and continued: "I know that you didn't submit to Earl Zhebo not only because you are extremely loyal to the royal family!"

When Leiner said these words, the lords couldn't help but blush a little. This matter is obviously known to everyone, but now Leiner has stabbed it out, which makes their faces uncomfortable.

Reiner didn't care what they thought, and continued: "Since you have various reasons, and you didn't join Earl Zhebo's command, then we are at odds with him at this time. Dai Tian's enemy! There will be no such thing as being captured and paying a ransom in this battle!"
