Black Iron Crown

Chapter 489: Fighting and Winning

The morale of the defenders on the city wall was getting higher and higher, but the attacking upstart coalition forces felt uneasy at this time. The sound of horseshoes behind them could be clearly heard, and they knew that this was not their friendly army.

"It's Grand Duke Reiner! Grand Duke Reiner is here to support us! Drive them away!" Frante pulled out a bloody long sword from a knight's body, seeing the golden lion on a red background in the distance, he couldn't help shouting shouted.

And the militiamen in the northern border also launched a frenzied attack on the enemy without fear of death. Although the enemy knights were brave, they lost their courage in their hearts. .

"He's finally here..." Earl Jollal and Earl Princeton next to him looked at each other, and they both saw the excited expression in each other's eyes.

"Keep going, lads! Grand Duke Reiner has arrived, and we will surely win the final victory. The heads of these enemies are your rewards! Go chase your own glory and pay back your wealth!"

Earl Jollal said loudly, and drew out his saber from his waist to join the battle group with a group of his followers.

The battle situation that seemed to be in danger just now was reversed in an instant, and the defenders on the city wall counterattacked like chicken blood.

And Leiner led more than 400 knights behind him to increase the horse speed to the extreme, and his goal was the upstarts.

The heavy cavalry were all ready, and after forming their formation, they were ready to follow the order of Earl Redmara to block the enemies behind them.

However, just as they began to urge the horses under their crotches to trot, Leiner had already led the knights to rush in front of them.

Knights need to make a lot of preparations before charging, and they don't just charge in a rush.

Obviously, the advantage is now on Leiner's side, their horse speed has been raised to the extreme, while the enemy is just getting started.

With an indomitable momentum, Leiner led the knights into the formation of heavy cavalry.

The sounds that came into my ears were very noisy. First, there was the sound of a lance being broken, followed by the sound of bones cracking, screams, horses falling, and the sound of steel colliding.

Reiner was under the protection of the Scarlet Griffin Knights. Earl Valas rushed to the front listening to the lance. After losing half of the lance, he quickly drew out the long sword at his waist and began to slash.

With the addition of speed, the long sword in his hand became extremely sharp, even if the enemy was wearing iron armor, it was like paper at this moment,

It was easily torn apart, and the flesh and blood underneath was abandoned and scratched.

Blood sprayed, internal organs flowed horizontally, Leiner clearly saw a severed hand fly up, and then hit his chest.

The goshawks hovered in the sky, and they clearly saw that the blood-red side was like a red-hot sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into a piece of fat, piercing through it almost without any resistance.

Yes, piercing.

The Scarlet Griffin Knights were at the front of the blade, the Scarlet Griffin followers formed the blade, and the fief knights in the back were responsible for expanding the results of the battle and completely tearing apart the enemy's formation.

Originally, these heavy cavalry were selected and trained from wandering knights or the eldest sons of knights, and their combat effectiveness was very good.

But because they lined up in a hurry, they didn't even set up the formation, and they didn't have time to charge.

They didn't take up any of the elements of the cavalry's confrontation with each other. If they really set up an array to conduct a hedge with the knights under Leiner's command, even if they were not opponents, the casualties caused to Leiner would definitely not be small.

It can be said that this powerful heavy cavalry died here without even showing its brilliance.

But Reiner doesn't feel sorry, this is his enemy, and only a dead enemy is the best enemy.

After tearing apart the enemy's formation, Leiner didn't hesitate at all.

He directly pointed the flag in his hand forward, pointing to the location of the upstarts.

The knights quickly rode towards the position of Earl Valas and the others as instructed by their arms.

The upstarts were already panicking, and even the always peaceful Earl Redmara was full of panic at this time.

"Trash! They're all trash! I'll hang them all!"

Earl Redmara cursed loudly at the heavy cavalry who had been divided into two pieces. He didn't expect this group of people to be so unbearable that they couldn't even complete the task of blocking the enemy.

It's not his fault, he doesn't really have much experience in leading troops in combat, so he doesn't know much about the combat methods among heavy cavalry.

However, no matter how much he cursed, the facts were already in front of his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he shouted at the upstarts around him who were still unresponsive: "Run!"

Only then did the group of upstarts come back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and rode their horses to keep up with the pace of Earl Redmara.

The coalition soldiers who were attacking the city wall were already young, and only a few people were still fighting.

When they saw that their lord had fled, their morale collapsed instantly.

They cried and gave up resistance, dropped their weapons and fled to the ladder behind them.

However, the ladder can only accommodate one person at a time, so in order to survive and get out of here quickly, they even pushed their comrades and their robes off the top of the wall alive.

The walls of Fort Angron are as high as eight meters. Falling from this height several times will not kill you, but you will be disabled. However, the soldiers who fell still endured the severe pain, dragging their bodies with their hands and feet, trying to leave.

The knights on the city wall frowned. Although they were not panicked, the fighting spirit in their hearts was gradually disappearing.

They hurriedly withdrew to Jinglan, only to find that the archers behind them had no intention of covering their retreat at all.

Looking back, the archer at the top of the well has long since disappeared.

Standing high and looking far, they were the first batch of people who discovered that the battle situation was not good, and they had already died like oil on the soles of their feet.

The knights could only retreat to the ground while scolding the archers who were greedy for life and afraid of death in their hearts.

Reiner didn't pay attention to the other enemy troops at all. His only target now was the upstarts who were fleeing, especially Earl Redmara.

The Duke of Ans and Baron Jaroelke, who were following the infantry formation, couldn't help but be speechless when they saw the battle.

They clearly understood how powerful the army of the upstarts was, but even so, they were still powerless to fight back under Leiner's attack, and the fear and awe of Leiner in their hearts was even heavier.

Frante looked at the golden lion flag with a red background that fluttered with the cold wind below, and tears seemed to appear in her eyes, but soon, she continued to issue orders: "Chasing and killing the enemy! Annihilate them all! "

The northern militiamen on the city wall, led by Frant, rushed out along the well and continued to besiege the enemy knights.

The same is true for most of the other lords. Although their soldiers have almost become remnants and defeated generals, it is not difficult to hunt down and kill the fleeing enemies.

At this time, Leiner was still leading the knights in hot pursuit of Earl Redmara and the others.
