Black Iron Crown

The ballista's stone shells kept flying towards the top of the city, but unfortunately, except for the first wave of shooting that shattered a few battlements, the next few rounds of shooting only hit the thick city wall, or crossed the city wall. The walls were driven into the castle.

Although the power of the ballista is huge, its accuracy is almost the same as that of a trebuchet. When it hit the city wall, it caused a few cracks in the city wall, but nothing else was achieved.

King Satri's face couldn't help twitching slightly, just as he boasted, suddenly there was an accident, which was completely slapping him in the face.

Seeing the face of King Suttle, Earl Redmara secretly laughed in his heart. King Suttle was ashamed, but he was very happy.

The ballistas repeatedly missed, which made King Satri's face even more ugly. After all, there were only five ballistas. If there were more ballistas, they would shoot the enemy intensively, and the results would be better.

The vassals of the Kingdom of Bookern were also a little embarrassed. The ballista, which they regarded as their killer weapon, would lose its chain at a critical moment, which was something no one expected.

But this is normal, after all, the ballista has not been introduced to the Kingdom of Bookern for a long time, only three years.

What's more, although the lords of the Bukden Kingdom occasionally had private wars, most of them were due to certain interests. If the war really broke out for the sake of fighting for territory, King Satri himself would intervene in the mediation.

What's more, three years is not enough to popularize ballista technology, so this weapon was only tested a few times when it was built, and it has never been tested in real war.

Accidents happen, that's what was expected.

The defenders on the city wall gradually recovered from their panic when they saw that the huge and weird instrument below had lost the power it had just now.

"Soldiers! The damn Ridkars are just powerful machines! Nothing can change the fact that they are weak! Think about our happiness some time ago! They are just a bunch of cowardly lambs! As long as they dare to fight us head-on, Then death will be their only end!"

A commander among the defenders of the city wall shouted loudly, encouraging the morale of his soldiers.

The morale of the defenders on the city wall gradually recovered.

That's right, the cowardly Redcar people are all cowardly sheep, but they just use powerful weapons. When they really fight, they will be killed by their brave self.

The Ridka people in their mouth are the narrowly defined Ridka concept,

It only refers to the people of the Ridkar Empire, not the Ridkar nation in a broad sense.

Just like the German nation and the German Empire in Reiner's previous life, they are two different concepts.

In fact, the people of the Kingdom of Bazalan are also a branch of the Ridka people.

"Damn it!" King Satley lost his composure and threw his whip on the ground, roaring angrily, "Jinglan! Let Jinglan rush up! Take the city wall down!"

After all, King Satri was the king of a country. Although he didn't say the constitution of heaven like the emperors of the previous celestial dynasty, almost no one dared to disobey his orders.

In this way, the thirty well rails advanced slowly under the impetus of the internal soldiers.

The archers at the top waited until the well rail was in place, and at a distance of ninety meters from the city wall, some of them began to shoot arrows with their bows.

The climate in the south is humid, and the wood for making bow arms is difficult to dry in the shade, so only some soft bows can be used most of the time in the past.

However, because they discovered distant pagan countries through sailing in the past hundred years, they bought a lot of strong bows and crossbows from there.

Even steel, which was not rich in the first place, was imported in large quantities from pagan countries, which greatly eased the gap.

This also allowed the army of the Bukden Kingdom to equip a large amount of iron armor. Basically every soldier can wear an iron armor. In addition, their warriors can even double-layer iron armor, and their survivability is quite strong.

Seeing the tall well railing slowly approaching, the archers on the arrow tower in the castle hurriedly started shooting at the enemy.

But it's a pity that although the arrow tower is much higher than the city wall, it can only reach the height of returning to the well. Therefore, the archers on both sides are completely shooting at each other, and neither side has the upper hand.

The soldiers under King Satri's command followed the well to the enemy's wall, and so did the imperial army.

Wearing iron armor and holding halberds, they marched towards the enemy's city wall in a melee formation.

Although the imperial army lacked steel, they had lost so many troops before, and all the armors on the corpses were taken off, repaired and distributed to the remaining imperial army.

Therefore, they have achieved a piece of iron armor, and even the 200 heavy cavalry and 200 knights brought by Earl Redmara can make double armor.

It has to be said that although the imperial army suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, their combat experience and courage were tempered by the brutal war.

After this group of northerners fought like tigers and wolves, there was no enemy that could make them feel afraid.

This is completely different from the army of the Bookeden Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Bookern was rich and provided excellent equipment to its soldiers, after all, many of them had never even seen blood.

Even though there are quite a few mercenaries inside, these mercenaries are obviously not willing to throw their heads and blood to fight. They don't have the excellent professional ethics of Swiss mercenaries.

The creaking sound came to everyone's ears, and with a "bang", the long wooden plank hanging from the rail of the well slammed heavily on the city wall of Fort Luoer.

"Rush up! Take back the castle!" The officer in the imperial army shouted to the soldiers, and then he was the first to rush up to the wooden planks of the well.

The archers on the arrow tower were shooting at Jing Lan, unable to take care of the enemy on the siege board.

What's more, the bows and arrows in their hands can hardly cause too much damage to these armored enemies. It is better to suppress the enemy's archers first.

The imperial army took the lead in hitting the city wall, and more than a hundred knights armed with swords, shields or maces began to fight fiercely with the enemy.

Although the knights were wearing double armor, their movements were neither slow nor clumsy. Instead, they moved left and right and caught the enemy by surprise.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Bazaran were surprised by the fighting power of the enemy, but after a while, they were relieved of their doubts.

Because the army of the Kingdom of Bookern also climbed onto the city wall at this time.

Although they have been trained all year round and are well-equipped, they are not veterans who have come down from the battlefield of blood and fire. Their courage and combat skills at critical moments are not as good, and they are not opponents of the Bazalan Kingdom's army at all.

Although the Kingdom of Bazaran can only make 70% of its soldiers wear armor, they are very brave and good at fighting. The lack of supplies has cultivated their fierce and unyielding character.

Even if they were pierced through their bodies, they still had to endure the severe pain and send the long sword in their hands into the enemy's chest.

After seeing the fighting power of the Kingdom of Bukeden, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bazaran became more and more motivated, and at the same time they despised the coalition army even more.
