Black Iron Crown

"All the knights gathered around me to prepare for battle!" Reiner yelled, and then all the knights began to put on their armor, and gathered around Reiner with their equipment.

There are still twenty-five Scarlet Griffin Knights left, and five of them were killed in the previous battle. Although the knights suffered some losses, they were not heavy.

More than 400 knights gathered beside Leiner, pointing directly at the sky with lances in their hands, ready to charge with Leiner at any time.

Reiner took a heraldic flag from the flag-bearer beside him, shook it in his hand, looked at the knights and said, "It's time to make meritorious deeds, and I will not be stingy with rewarding titles. I hope you will fight hard!"

"Follow the Grand Duke's order!" the knights said without any hesitation.

Then, Leiner led the knights under his command and the infantry behind them at full speed, and moved forward quietly.

Although the distance of two kilometers is enough for Leiner and others to find the enemy's traces, this distance is still too long. If the horse runs at this distance, it will consume a lot of energy.

One thousand meters or eight hundred meters, this is the best charging distance, and it also allows infantry to quickly enter the field to attack the enemy.

At this time, on the city wall, Frante was still holding a long sword to fight with the surrounding knights, but she was exhausted now, and seven or eight people had already fallen under her long sword.

These are all knights who came up from the well, and they were all wearing iron armor, which forced Frank to attack them vigorously.

"Huhu..." Frante panted heavily, while her two guards followed her closely to ensure safety.

After all, she is still a woman, and her physiology determines that her body is not suitable for combat. It is not empty words that war makes women go away.

Beheading seven or eight armored knights also brought huge consumption to her.

At the same time, the militiamen began to organize a counterattack, and they began to attack the enemy knights in groups of three or four.

Although the combat effectiveness of this group of knights is not as good as that of the northern knights, they have learned a lot about the stinky problems of the northern knights.

Not only are they very capable, but they are also unwilling to cooperate with others, only willing to pursue glory by themselves.

This also gave the militiamen a chance. They kept attacking the enemy knights with spears in their hands. Although they failed again and again,

They may even be beheaded by the enemy, but there are still knights besieged to death one by one by them.

So far, more than 700 knights have lost more than 100 people, while the northern militiamen have lost even more, more than 300 people.

Although the casualties were heavy, the two sides were still fighting bravely. The knights pursued glory and did not allow themselves to retreat, which was a shame.

The militiamen are for the purpose of defending the country, protecting their homes and a happy life. Those who have property have perseverance. Speaking of which, their fighting will is even stronger than that of the enemy knights.

Apart from this section of the city wall, the other lords are also in a tight battle situation. Although there are not many defenders in the castle, the enemy's attack from all directions still brings enormous pressure.

Although the soldiers under their command are all regular troops, the number is still too small after all.

Even the relatively strong Earl of Pushton and Earl of Jollal, even if the armies of the vassals are counted under their command, there are only seven or eight hundred regular troops.

On the royal lord's side, there are four earls and more than 20 barons, which add up to only more than four thousand regular troops, but they have to face the attack of an enemy army that is twice as large as their own.

What's more, under the enemy's two-month attack, they suffered a lot of losses. Except for the northern militia, the number of soldiers under their command was less than 3,000, and they lost more than one third.

The fighting on the battlefield was fierce, and the expression on Earl Redmara's face became brighter as he looked at the city wall where the battle was going smoothly.

Listening to the nasty compliments from the upstarts beside him, he seemed to see the day when his son would be named the surname of Red Mara and become the emperor of the empire.

He didn't realize at all that a huge army was approaching quietly one kilometer behind him.

"Yuyu..." There was a long hiss of a war horse. Even though Leiner tried his best to appease the war horses, it still couldn't change the fact that they were a group of beasts, and they neighed loudly at will.

It doesn't matter if one animal makes a sound, the rest of the nearby horses also bark together. In an instant, the neighing sounds of war horses come one after another, as if gathering into a vast ocean.

"What's the sound?" Earl Redmara and the upstarts hurriedly turned their heads and followed the prestige.

When everything came into everyone's eyes, Earl Redmara's heart stopped beating instantly.

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted into needles, and panic instantly spread across everyone's hearts.

They could see clearly that the flag that this team was flying was the golden lion flag with a red background representing Grand Duke Leiner of the Northern Territory!

Seeing that the other party had found himself, Reiner couldn't help being a little discouraged, then pointed the flag in his hand forward, and shouted: "Everyone follow me to charge!"

As soon as his words fell, the title of Despicable Sneak Attacker came into play instantly. The knights who charged along with him got a 30% combat power bonus, and their horse speed was also greatly improved.

The knights rushed out behind Leiner like wind and clouds, their horse speed almost increased to the extreme, and the distance of one kilometer was only more than a minute's footsteps for their speed at this time.

A few goshawks hovered in the sky, looking at the two-legged beasts on the ground moving fast on the snow-capped snow, the biological instinct told them that a big meal was waiting for them.

As a result, more and more goshawks were attracted, circling above the sky.

In their eyes, a torrent of steel rushed towards the small army below the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

Earl Redmara and the others were stupefied, and just as they realized it, the knight team led by Reiner was less than 500 meters away from them.

"Quick! The heavy cavalry go up to me! Absolutely don't let them charge up!"

Earl Redmara reacted the fastest, and he immediately gave orders to the 400 heavy cavalry beside him.

These heavy cavalry were formed two years ago, and each of them is a good player.

Coupled with more than two years of training, Earl Redmara thought that even if he couldn't defeat the knights of Grand Duke Rainer, it would be easy to delay them, right?

On the city wall, the defenders here also heard the sound of horseshoes rolling like spring thunder, and they immediately recognized that it was their own army.

Because every lord here, their heraldic flags are similar, basically have the pattern of golden crown lion, maybe the background color is different, but everyone has the crown lion.

"It's Grand Duke Leiner! It's Grand Duke Leiner! He's here to support us!" The defenders on the city wall shouted loudly.

The lords of the royal family also recognized the owner of this flag, and they all shouted with joy.

For a moment, the morale of the defenders on the city wall rose sharply, and the movements of their hands became faster and faster, and they became more and more fierce. For a while, they actually suppressed and beat the enemy who was attacking the city.
