Black Iron Crown

Twenty-fourth day of June in the twenty-fourth year of the empire.

early morning.

A gentle cool breeze blew across his face, bringing with it a breath of moisture and grass.

Reiner looks to the south, where Morsh's headquarters is located.

"Lord Earl, Morsh's headquarters is 30 kilometers ahead. Shall we continue to advance?"

Samuza went to his side and asked a question to the translator.

"It's enough to advance ten kilometers today!" Reiner's original intention was not to go straight to Morsh's headquarters.

The number of index cavalry under his command is at most a thousand, not to mention the consumption of small groups of raids during this period, what Leiner really cares about is the cavalry of Agur's department.

Even if Leiner divides his forces to sneak attack on the enemy's headquarters, the impact on the battle is estimated to be negligible, and the Agur cavalry cannot care about these.

His main purpose was to put pressure on Morsh, so that he had to restrain the cavalry group from fighting to protect his headquarters.

"Oh, that's right!" Lai'an suddenly remembered: "Let your clansmen follow us if they don't win, just let them station here, and prevent the enemy from raiding your clansmen!"

Samuza nodded to show his understanding, and then returned to his tribe's camp to organize a cavalry march.

Over the past few days, his clansmen have suffered considerable losses. Many cattle and sheep were killed and injured during the long-distance travel. All these losses are damage to the foundation of the entire Pakuten tribe.

However, he has no complaints about this, because he knows that all this is to keep his own territory and tribe, and he seems to be more respectful and respectful to Reiner.

However, during this period of marching, the vassals under Rainer's command became more and more resentful. Originally, the lords in the northern border were subordinate to the royal family, and they were hardly recruited, and they had great freedom.

Now being transferred to Lena, not only has his freedom reduced a lot, but he also has to undertake such a protracted military service.

Just three months after the last military service, the second call came.

But this time the enlistment was just a march, and it took more than a month to stop and go.

Not to mention that the enemy they faced was so powerful, they were not very willing to face such an enemy, and reluctantly accompanied them under Leiner's instigation and coercion.

However, such a long time has passed, and their boredom and dissatisfaction with Reiner have gradually emerged.

"I really don't know what the Earl is thinking! Qianli Tiaodan has come to this ghostly place for so long, and I still don't know if I can win. I was so obsessed that I listened to his nonsense!"

A vassal complained to a familiar vassal next to him.

"What are you talking about!" The vassal turned pale in shock after hearing this, and hurriedly glanced around, seeing that there was no one, he was relieved.

"The earl is our lord! Be careful what you say in the future! What if someone overhears and tells the earl one day?" the vassal said angrily.

"What's the matter?" The man waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "In the final analysis, even if I am his vassal, what can I do? Will he risk the world to deprive me of my territory or exile me? I am not afraid of him." !"

"I just don't get it,

What can he gain by doing this? What he said before is simply nonsense! How else can he get benefits? Isn't he letting him eat the bulk of the benefits in the end? "

"I have seen through our Earl Rainer! I might as well have followed Baron Azak and ignored him, and I didn't see what our little earl did to Baron Azak!"

The vassal who was dissatisfied with the boss of Reiner was named Kajis, and his territory was next to Baron Azak, and the two were considered neighbors.

At that time, when Baron Azak disobeyed his order, he was also a little bit moved, but because of Reiner's high prestige, he just dared to think about it.

Now the long-term depression and fear of the enemy have completely detonated his dissatisfaction with Reiner.

In the previous battle, he was not very active, so the cattle and sheep allocated were at the lowest level, and he didn't have much sense of presence in front of Leiner, so the benefits he got compared to other active lords Indeed less.

"Shut your mouth, if you don't speak, no one will think you are an aphasia! Don't you dare to Weibo Lord Earl's order at this time? If you dare, just lead your troops and leave!"

The vassal squinted at Baron Kargis, and said in a half-joking, half-sarcastic tone.

After hearing this, Baron Kargis shut up. He said with a sneer, "No matter what, I am not a mean and shameless person. As a nobleman, I value honor. Since I have already led the army, there is no reason to be a deserter!"

"Hmph, that's the best, but don't blame your old friend for not telling you, keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will be rewarded!"

By noon, the goal of the ten-kilometer march had been achieved, and Leiner simply ordered the entire army to set up camp.

After spending more than two hours setting up a strong camp, Leiner gave the order to eat lunch.

Soldiers went to a narrow stream two kilometers away to fetch water bucket by bucket, then transported the water to the camp, put it in clay pots, and boiled the water with fire.

Reiner established strict health regulations for the army under his command. Apart from not being allowed to defecate anywhere, the choice of drinking water is the only one.

Whether it is used to cook meat or drink, Reiner will never allow the drinking of raw water.

The sanitation conditions in this era are not very good. It is not obvious that dirt can be seen in the water, but the water on the grassland will inevitably have some cattle, sheep and horse manure in it.

What's more, even if there is no such thing, just to be on the safe side, Reiner will force the soldiers to drink boiled water. If some infectious disease occurs, then Reiner will be completely paralyzed.

When the time comes, there will be a large number of dead people, and the powerful army that Leiner spent a lot of money to exchange and train will die directly in the camp instead of on the battlefield.

Thinking about such a scene, Reiner felt his heart tremble.

There's no way, he can't afford a hospital... he has to rely on hygiene to make up for the epidemic prevention.

That afternoon, in his tent, Reiner felt a slight trembling under his buttocks, and at the same time a slight roaring sound reached his ears.

Putting down the hands that were picking at the feet, putting on the shoes, and walking outside the tent, the low and deep voice became more obvious.

Reiner narrowed his eyes and looked south.

There is a look of billowing smoke and dust, and the strong momentum goes straight into the sky.

Even on the grasslands, the dust and dust kicked up is still comparable to a small sandstorm, which looks breathtaking.

At this time, after more than a month of delay, the cavalry of Agur's department finally appeared in front of Morsh.

The 5,000 people were divided into several groups, and they raised their horseshoes and rolled towards his camp.

The black ox-skull banner, which symbolizes the Agul Department, rattled in the gust of wind caused by the excessive speed of the horse.

The 5,000 cavalry were densely packed, like dark clouds from the sky falling on the ground, which made people feel tight in their chests after seeing it. ...
