Black Iron Crown

Reiner raised his head and looked into the distance, lifted his mask until he could see more clearly.

He was panting heavily while riding on a warhorse. The three of Lumbare, Sarangwind and their subordinates guarded him desperately, preventing any prairie cavalry from approaching him.

"Red deer shield..." Reiner licked his chapped lips, "Is it Baron Azak?"

As the Lord of the Northern Territory, Leiner knew all the vassals under his command like the back of his hand, and could quickly identify which of his vassals he saw when he saw any heraldic flag.

Therefore, after seeing the heraldic flag, he immediately read the name of Baron Azak without any thought.

"If you don't come early, you can't come to play, why come at this time..." There was a wry smile on the corner of Reiner's mouth.

He felt a little relieved that Baron Azak could come at this time, but what's the use of it?

Although Baron Azak is the most powerful vassal under his command, he is only a baron after all, and his territory has not been exaggerated enough to support more troops.

At best, he is an army or a knight can be a little more than other vassals, but it is difficult to have a real impact on the battle situation.

The only hope now is that Baron Valas can lead the knights to defeat the enemy and let them start to flee.

Or the anti-line infantry at the front could push forward, demoralizing the enemy and causing a rout, otherwise there is no other way.

Baron Valas held the long sword and drove the horses under his crotch like no one. However, the number of enemy troops was still too large. Although he led the knights to set off a bloody storm among the enemy formations, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Reiner sighed and put his helmet back on.

I was too excited just now... I actually thought that this matter would bring about a bigger turnaround.

Reiner smiled wryly, it is always good to have reinforcements coming, even if you buy an extra 30 seconds, wouldn't that increase your chances of winning?

At this time, Baron Azak looked solemnly at the battle ahead.

It was the first time he had seen a war of such scale and momentum. Even the previous war with Earl Zhebo did not have such a terrifying momentum.

The deafening sound of horseshoes drilled into his ears like rolling thunder,

The sky was full of smoke and dust billowing in, looking at a chill.

He stroked his sweaty forehead, gritted his teeth and said to the more than 80 cavalry behind him: "Our enemy is ahead! As long as this war can be won, I am willing to pay each of you a gold coin Another five silver coins!"

These cavalrymen wearing leather chain composite armor, wearing inferior iron helmets on their heads, and holding short spears or spears in their hands suddenly took a breath of cold air.

This price was only earned in the past year. Although they could get a lot of extra money in the past, it was still not as much as this deal.

That's right, these more than 80 cavalrymen are a group of mercenaries.

After Baron Azak knew the strength of the enemy army and the appearance of vassals who did not respect Rainer's order, he felt that the Earl might be in danger, so he postponed sending troops for fifteen days.

Sent people to the south of Twarinburg to recruit this group of mercenaries.

Even these eighty cavalrymen were assembled by him after finding three mercenary teams.

The price of war horses was high, not everyone could afford them, and this time they were fighting against cavalry on the grasslands, so Baron Azak felt that ordinary infantry could not be of much use.

It's not that he hadn't thought about recruiting mercenaries in Mecaron City, but it's a pity that most of the mercenaries there are escorting merchants. Most of them are wearing armor or leather armor, holding short spears or short swords, and they can't participate in such a level. war.

Therefore, he was only delayed for fifteen days, otherwise, with his marching speed, it would be impossible for Reiner to catch up when he had not moved for a long time and was continuously slow and sleepy.

Hearing the huge sum of money promised by Baron Azak, the mercenaries put their life and death aside one after another, and screamed loudly.

Afterwards, Baron Azak glanced at his knights in disbelief.

The thirty or so knights were silent, nodding firmly to Baron Azak.

It is the responsibility and honor of the knights to defend their lord.

Baron Azak took a deep breath, put on his helmet, and took out the flag from the hands of his followers, shouting: "Follow me to charge!"

Hearing his hoarse roar, he jumped out of the horse's belly.

The knights and mercenaries behind followed closely behind, and charged the prairie cavalry who were attacking the side of Leiner's army.

Leiner led his men to resist the enemy with all his strength, and suddenly there was another sound of horseshoes in the distance of the passage, and he couldn't help but look sideways at it.

He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, more than a hundred cavalrymen!

What a time!

Looking at the red-backed deer shield flag, Reiner's affection for Baron Azak couldn't help but soar.

Sure enough, the icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow.

"Cheer up, my soldiers! Our reinforcements are here again!" Reiner summoned up all his strength and shouted the loudest voice in his life.

Baron Azak led the cavalry into the enemy.

The repeated breakthroughs of the prairie cavalry caused some casualties, and the speed of the horses gradually decreased. In fact, they were not as powerful as they were at the beginning.

It's just that they smashed the formation again and again, which made their morale soar.

And this external attack by Baron Azak directly knocked their morale down from the beginning.

More than a hundred cavalry were like a red-hot sharp knife cutting into butter, almost without any decent resistance, and they easily completed the division of the enemy.

"Rush up!" Leiner shouted nervously, and with his legs clamped in the belly of the horse, he led his followers and cavalry archers to lay siege to the enemy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is no longer a threat.

At the same time, Baron Ryland also made a new breakthrough.

Baron Valas has led the knights to divide the enemy army from beginning to end, and the charge array of the prairie cavalry has been chaotic.

What's more, they haven't broken through the defense line built by sergeants and recruits head-on for so long, and at the same time left a large number of corpses, which not only hit their confidence, but also slowed down their speed.

At this time, they seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and it was very difficult to take any action. Not only were there piles of corpses in front of them, but there were also Wuyang Wuyang's friendly troops behind them. Any activity became a luxury.

"The whole army! Advance!!" Baron Leland took off his helmet and threw it on the ground fiercely. His hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to his forehead. He drew out the long sword at his waist and pointed at the enemy in front of him, shouting hoarsely.

When his order was issued, the captains blew their whistles first, and after the whistles were consistent, the whistles of the squadron leaders and small leaders also blew.

All of a sudden, the whistles on the front line of Leiner's army were endless. The soldiers stepped on the whistle and slowly advanced. The long swords in their hands pointed directly at the enemy in front. die.
