Black Iron Crown

The army of the Kingdom of Bookern was well equipped but did not dare to fight for their lives. In this way, the advantages brought by the original armor were offset.

They were timid and afraid to go forward, but the soldiers of Bazaran Kingdom fought bravely, waving miscellaneous weapons in their hands and rushed forward to fight with the soldiers of Bukeden Kingdom.

There are few soldiers in the Kingdom of Bukden who have experienced many battles. Most of them are selected from wealthy rural areas. Besides, there are relatively wealthy citizens. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Lan stood tall.

But it's a pity that although he is strong and strong, he lacks courage and dare not risk his life to fight the enemy.

This is like the Japanese pirates raging during the Meng Dynasty. Dozens of Japanese pirates can fight for thousands of miles but no one dares to stop them.

Most of the mercenaries are also like this, although each of them is a veteran who has seen blood, but in fact they are all veterans, very slippery.

The purpose of being a mercenary is to get money. If you lose your life on the battlefield, even if you earn money, you have nothing to spend. You still have to save your own life to take the money and leave. Therefore, this group of mercenaries is more powerful than the army of the Kingdom of Bukden. slack.

In stark contrast to them is the army of the empire.

Although the fighting power of the imperial army is not as good as that of the northern army, after all, they fought with the soldiers under Leiner's command with real swords and guns. After seeing such an enemy, there is nothing to make them fear.

The strength of the enemy can also bring them self-confidence. As long as they don't face their old opponents who have brought them to collapse, they can despise all other enemies.

These soldiers held halberds and greeted the enemy non-stop with extremely powerful and swift attacks.

Although the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bazaran were brave enough to die, there was still a slight gap in their physical fitness.

Although their country is not very poor, they cannot be compared with the empire anyway. The imperial army is a professional soldier recruited by the empire from rich farmers. Their physical fitness is much better than that of Bazaar. Fighting hard has long tempered a tenacious character.

They also have their own pride.

The army under the command of Grand Duke Rainer of the Northern Territory should be the best in the world. Such remarks have already spread throughout the entire empire and have been recognized by everyone.

As for himself, he has fought against the number one army, and more than once, so the enemies in front of him are naturally not taken seriously by them.

Therefore, no matter how the soldiers of the Bazaran Kingdom went forward, they were still unable to make the imperial army take a step back.

Instead, they were slowly encroached and advanced by the tacitly coordinated imperial army. The halberd in their hands was like the head of a dragon, which could be hooked, stabbed, and slashed. It was difficult for the Bazalan Kingdom army to fight.

The offensive of the Kingdom of Bukeden suffered a great setback, which made King Satri feel a little embarrassed. The only ones who really had strong fighting power were the heavy armored warriors of the Kingdom of Bukeden.

They have powerful strength and superb skills, and at the same time, the sense of honor bestowed on them by their status makes them disdain to avoid battles.

The two-handed sword in his hand or the one-handed machete with a shield, just opened and closed to cooperate with the surrounding comrades, causing great losses to the soldiers of the Bazalan Kingdom.

The warriors of the Bookeden Kingdom and the knight system of the Ridka people are completely different concepts.

Ridka's knight system must integrate the culture and geography here. Most of them own fiefdoms, which is a contract of loyalty, so that the knight class has enough resources to arm themselves and train themselves, and they can successfully obtain a powerful horse. Professional soldiers, and reduce administrative costs.

The lords do not have many educated and literate people who can serve as officials to assist in the rule. In this case, they have to adopt the method of enfeoffment to increase their strength. This is how the knights of Ridka came.

However, the warriors of the Kingdom of Bookern are not the same. Since their land area is not large, they simply don’t have enough land to entrust the knights. Therefore, these warriors are said to be of the same class as the knights, it is better to say that they are Bookern The kingdom's most elite professional soldiers.

In fact, it was true. When the Kingdom of Bukeden did not find out that it was still on the route and its internal commerce was not developed, the main force of the battle was the warriors, and they would not support the rest of the regular army at all.

In the past hundred years, the lords of the prosperous Bookden Kingdom began to support some professional soldiers, and these warriors became a middle privileged class that was higher than soldiers but lower than nobles.

All their sources of livelihood come from the lord's salary, including their weapons and armor are also distributed by the lord.

The Buckden warriors who have been trained since childhood are extremely powerful in combat, and even play a greater role in their growth than the knights and soldiers of the empire.

In field battles, their role may not be as good as the heavy armored knights who rampage like tanks, but in this kind of city wall battle or even in the mountains, they are like kings.

The sun gradually moved westward, rendering a blood-red cloud in the sky.

The castle that had stood in the western region for more than a hundred years looked dilapidated at the moment. The cracks made by ballistas and trebuchets were like the ravines on the face of an old man, and it was so desolate under the afterglow of the setting sun.

The bloody battle on the top of the city is still not over. Although the imperial army fought bravely, they could only nibble at the enemy step by step and could not defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. When the elite knights of the Kingdom of Bazaran joined the battlefield, their attack encountered a huge blow. hinder.

The offensive on the side of the Kingdom of Bookern was even more difficult. Although the warriors were powerful in combat, they were still few in number. Under the enemy's fearless attack, their physical strength was also exhausted extremely quickly, causing casualties quickly.

The sun went down, and the last ray of light remained on the surface.

Evening has come, and the moon, which was suppressed by the sun during the day and dare not show its head, is also tentatively showing its edge at this moment.

The attack lasted for nearly two hours. The besieging army attacked the city wall again and again and was beaten back again and again. They saw back and forth several times, and finally retreated helplessly to the camp under the night.

That night, in the camp of the besieging army.

The upstarts of the empire finally felt proud. They had suffered a lot of humiliation during this time.

But just today, the soldiers under his command have greatly grown faces.

The army of the Kingdom of Bukden is so unbearable, but the soldiers under his command are fighting bravely, how can the upstarts be unhappy.

King Satri sat on the main seat of the tent with an ugly face, and looked at the expressions of the upstarts with even more embarrassment.

After a moment of silence, King Satri said: "Today's battle is not very smooth, perhaps because the soldiers under our command are exhausted from the long journey. If we try to attack the city again in three days, we must call the soldiers in the city. The defenders look at our combat effectiveness!"

King Satri tried his best to explain, but Earl Redmara just smiled and didn't speak. Although he didn't make a mockery, King Satri's face turned red slightly.
