Black Iron Crown

Chapter 535: The Regretful Bazaran Lord

A hole was torn open in the array surrounding the front of the Fort Raul's wall, and more and more soldiers of the Bazaran Kingdom rushed out along this line. Although they were in an extremely urgent mood, there was no confusion.

Everyone maintained the queue as always, alert to the enemy's surprise attack again, but maintained a rapid movement speed.

Soon, all the soldiers in Fort Rohr successfully left Fort Rohr and started running towards Innzburg.

Seeing that the friendly army had successfully withdrawn, the knights began to turn their horses to get away from the chaotic enemy army.

During these rounds of decisive charges, they suffered heavy losses, only more than 80 people were still riding on horseback, able to retreat with the large army, and the remaining 110 or so knights all stayed here.

King Satri roared angrily, and ordered the lords and officers to immediately gather up the chaotic army and launch the pursuit of the enemy as soon as possible.

The defenders of the Kingdom of Bazaran immediately accelerated their march towards Innzburg after they left Fort Rohr. Because of the haste of leaving and the need to reduce the burden, each of them only carried three days of rations.

This also means that all the large amount of grain hoarded in Fort Rolle fell into the hands of the coalition forces.

Although the coalition forces wanted to pursue the enemy, they suffered heavy losses and could not continue to let the soldiers march quickly.

The Bazalan Kingdom Army, which had successfully broken through and was quickly withdrawing, had already run several hundred meters. The knights of the coalition army had already gone to defend the food road, and they were unable to pursue the enemy at all.

The battle is basically over, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

After some counting, the number of casualties was finally determined.

During this period of time, plus the battle just now, the coalition lost a total of more than 3,000 soldiers. In addition to the more than 1,500 people, more than 2,000 people were slightly injured.

As for the army of the Bazalan Kingdom, more than 2,000 people were killed, more than 800 people were seriously injured, and more than 1,000 people were slightly injured. From the perspective of the loss ratio, the army of the Bazalan Kingdom was larger.

Nearly half of them have lost their combat effectiveness. You must know that seriously injured people cannot break out of the siege. What is the difference between staying in the hands of the coalition forces and being killed directly.

After cleaning the battlefield, the lords of the Empire and the Bookern Kingdom didn't take too much loot, but distributed 70% of the armor and weapons to the soldiers below.

Especially those mercenaries. In order to let them fight desperately, the lords of the Bookeden Kingdom made such a promise.

These armors are quite the same as before. When the royal family was rich and lacked armor, they could even be sold for a set of five or six gold coins.

Even if the royal family is slightly poor now, this is only temporary. This huge territory and various sources of income make it difficult for the empire to experience a long-term financial crisis. It only takes a year for the empire to become rich again.

This is recognized by everyone. Even if it is not sold to the empire, these people take the armor to the south to sell it, and they can sell it for at least one gold coin per set of armor. After all, the armor here is all excellent five rings Buckle the whole body chain armor.

After throwing the enemy's corpses into the wilderness outside the city at will, and gathering their own soldiers, the lords of the coalition army immediately led the soldiers into the castle.

After entering the city, they did nothing else, but quickly came to the warehouse to check the grain stored here.

soon,

These lords showed satisfied expressions.

They were ecstatic about the mountains of grain piled up in the warehouse. This amount of grain was enough to feed the remaining 11,000 soldiers for four months, and the situation of lack of grain was completely changed.

Soon, the piles of grain in the warehouse were moved out, and the soldiers immediately set up a fire to prepare for the victory dinner after the war.

These soldiers finally no longer have to worry about the problem of starvation. Before that, they had to go hungry every day, and they could only get a small piece of bread and a small amount of air-dried meat.

For professional soldiers, such food is too little.

But in fact, although there is a shortage of food, they still maintain the minimum daily consumption, and they have not yet reached the point where they are about to starve to death.

The lack of food caused panic, and it was a devastating blow to morale. If the lords hadn't been tempted with high bounties, and this was a foreign country where they had nowhere to go, the entire army might have collapsed long ago.

Smoke curled up from the kitchen, the autumn sunset shrouded the sky, and the glowing red fire clouds rendered the scenery here extremely beautiful, if there were no mutilated corpses outside the city.

"Oh Holy Father, my stomach is finally full!"

A soldier patted his round belly with a satisfied face. The long-lost feeling of fullness made him extremely happy.

This is the case in the entire camp of the coalition forces, and the period when the two sects were down due to casualties and hunger has also rebounded a lot.

The Bazalan Kingdom Army, which successfully broke through, also slowed down their progress a little. Even the best humans at running couldn't stand it, not to mention that they were still wearing heavy armor.

However, when they walked 30 kilometers away from Fort Rolle the next day, they suddenly found a team in front of them.

These frightened lords were just about to order their soldiers to line up to meet the enemy, but they found that they knew all the flags flying by the opposing team.

After knowing that it was their own country's army, the lords relaxed, and all the lords immediately rode forward to see King Emalu.

When they all appeared in front of this army, everyone was stunned.

King Emalu rode up to these lords, and behind him followed the lords who were stationed with him in Innzburg.

"Why did you appear here?" King Emalu looked at them in disbelief and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in Fort Rohr?"

The lords who came out of Fort Rolle also looked at a loss. Although King Emalu ordered them to stay in Fort Rolle, the wall that was about to collapse made them unable to hold on any longer.

What's more, they don't know that their friendly forces are already on their way to support them.

After explaining to King Emalu, King Emalu threw his whip on the ground angrily: "What do you know! Don't say that we will be able to attack the enemy from behind soon, the enemy's grain road It has been cut off by us! They were hungry when they attacked you! You only need to persist for a day or two, and we will surely win!"

The lords who came out of Raul Castle felt remorseful after hearing King Emalu's words. They wanted to punch themselves, and such a great opportunity was wasted like this.

If it is true as King Emalu said, then the benefits they can get are definitely astronomical, and it is not impossible to include the entire western part of the empire into the territory of the Kingdom of Bazaran.
