Black Iron Crown

Looking at the fierce battle ahead, Leiner was very nervous inside. He could see that the soldiers were constantly consuming their energy. The battle had been going on for ten minutes, and Leiner estimated that it would take about half an hour. The sergeants are also exhausted.

However, the enemy army is still rushing up from a distance, and the battlefield at this time is clearly divided. Reiner's side is standing still like a rock, while Earl Zhebo's side is like a rushing flood. The boulder will never stop until it reaches its goal.

The enemy troops kept coming up and appearing in front of the sergeants, as if they could never finish killing them. As soon as one enemy was killed, another enemy immediately added up.

"Lord Baron! An enemy army appeared on our left flank! Their number is about 150 people, and they are marching towards us!" Lumbare rode his horse and walked to the small high platform of Lena and said nervously with.

In fact, Reiner can see it even if it's a full-scale battlefield, but if it's just his own battle situation, he can still see it clearly. Although the small high platform is not high, but For such a flat ground, the battle situation can already be seen clearly.

Nodding to show that he was clear, Reiner looked in that direction.

On the left wing, where the knights and all the heavy cavalry under Leiner's command were located, he narrowed his eyes, and Leiner's mind was running rapidly, thinking about the next move.

"The left wing is where all the heavy cavalry are located... If the heavy cavalry were to go into battle now, Earl Zhebo would definitely let his knights charge in an instant and wipe out his own cavalry!"

Reiner thought silently in his heart, there was no need to think about it, Earl Zhebo would definitely do this, once the heavy cavalry lost part of their impact when attacking the troops close to the flanks, they would definitely be powerless in the face of other cavalry.

At that time, it is not impossible to be wiped out by Earl Zhebo's cavalry force.

Pursing his lips, Reiner took a deep breath and said to the herald next to him: "Tell Sir Leyland, dispatch two hundred militiamen to block the enemies approaching from the flanks, and they must persist for at least half an hour. Order! They must persist for more than half an hour!: Otherwise, their families will have to pay 20% more taxes this year!"

Reiner can't care about treating the people well now, he doesn't care about the people if the territory is about to be lost, it's only right to let them fight hard.

But if they managed to persist for more than half an hour, each of them would be rewarded with five copper coins! "Leiner then added that imposing majesty alone is not a long-term solution. It is best to give a sweet date with a stick.

"Yes, Lord Nayan!" A senior cavalry archer immediately rode his horse to the front line, conveying Lena's order.

At the same time, Sir Rayland was at the forefront of the battle, dancing and commanding the soldiers to fight.

"Hold on! Don't mess up the formation! Don't let an enemy rush over!" Waving the long sword in his hand, Sir Leyland shouted hoarsely. He is very confident in his combat effectiveness. He said these words to the armed soldiers in the front row.

"What?" The veteran cavalry archer ran to Sir Leyland's side and said loudly to him.

However, due to the loud fighting on the battlefield, Sir Leyland did not hear what the cavalry archer said.

"My lord Baron said that you need to send two hundred militiamen to stop the enemies coming towards us from the left wing! He also said that you must hold on there for half an hour. If you can't hold on for half an hour, then this year's tax will increase by 20% , but if it succeeds, then everyone can get a bounty of five coppers!" The veteran cavalry archer repeated loudly again in an almost roaring tone,

This time Sir Ryland finally heard.

"Okay, go back and tell the baron that I understand!"

"Vance! Come here, damned bastard!" Sir Leyland was usually a humble and generous person, but he also became irritable under such a crisis situation.

Vance was one of Sir Leyland's subordinates brought out from the system. It was said that he was also the eldest son of a nobleman, but Reiner didn't know much about him.

"Here you are, my lord! What are your orders!" Vance trotted all the way to Sir Leyland's side.

"You have a new mission now!" Sir Ryland pointed to the enemy army on the left, and said, "I order you to bring two hundred militiamen to block them for half an hour! Tell them that they will get five coppers if they succeed, but If it fails, their family will have to pay 20% more tax!"

"Yes! Your Excellency! I'll do it right away!" Vance saluted and hurriedly left Sir Leyland's side again.

Just like that, 200 militiamen followed behind Vance and rushed towards the left wing. No one wanted to pay 20% more tax, not to mention that five coppers were quite a fortune for them. income.

After all, the militia was still a militia, and the formation was a little scattered during the run, which was completely incomparable with Sergeant Moreland.

"Quick! Form up! Show me all the skills you have trained! I will not allow any enemy to cross our line of defense!" Vance shouted loudly, waving the knight in his hand.

The flag of the militiamen was held by a militiaman before, but now this team is under the command of Vance, so the flag is also in his hands now.

Since it was their first time on the battlefield, the militiamen seemed a little flustered, but amidst Vance's scolding, they gradually got used to it.

In the past two months, this group of militiamen were no longer scattered and trained by sergeants, but were gathered in the castle by Leiner in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Fort Moreland, which was expanded once, can accommodate so many people, so they trained in the castle like this, and Vance, as Sir Leyland's entourage, was also responsible for training them, so when they heard Vance's voice, they He immediately remembered the content of the training ground.

The shoving and shoving finally formed a formation quickly. They held a spear in both hands and stood in place, waiting for the arrival of the enemy on the side of the knights.

"Don't be afraid! It's not just the enemy! It's our credit! Our coppers! They are just the glory we are about to win on the battlefield!"

"Show off your bravery! The baron is watching you! Maybe you will have a chance to become a member of the regular army!"

Vance began to seduce these militiamen with words, and now the soldiers under Reiner's command are very sweet, and the salary of five coppers per month can definitely support a family very well. As for finding a wife, there is no difficulty at all. Those who want to marry their daughters to these soldiers are about to break the threshold.
