Black Iron Crown

Just after the soldiers moved their families into the fort, the fire spread to several nearby forts.

Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky above the fortress, and the rest of the fortresses also lit their beacons after seeing such a warning.

After a lapse of more than ten years, these military forts that have not functioned for a long time have once again achieved their mission

The market towns and villages farther away immediately began to transfer residents and property when they saw the black smoke.

The residents fled to the nearest castle, dragging their families and taking their few possessions with them.

Karen Fort is a fortress facing the eastern grassland. When it was first built, the specifications were very high, and it was built according to the top-level fortress.

The country here at the beginning often needed to guard against the invasion of the grassland people in the east, so it had a good foundation. In addition, after the old emperor was unified, in order to sweep up the grassland and get rid of these mortal flies once and for all, he expanded the castle again. as a fortress.

It is used to protect nearby residents, and at the same time shorten the supply line for dispatching troops, so as to facilitate the transportation of various materials.

Now, most of the residents living in the eastern grasslands have gathered in Karen Fort.

However, there are not many people living in the east. When the Ridka Empire was not unified, the population here was not large because it was often harassed by the grassland tribes.

Although the problem of the grassland was successfully resolved after the unification of the empire, it was still sparsely populated due to the war.

At this time, more than 3,000 people had gathered in Kronborg, and this was already everyone within a radius of 30 kilometers. They brought all their belongings into the fortress.

Hassan stood on the top of the border fort, poked out half of his head along the battlements wretchedly, carefully observing the situation below.

The bottom of the fortress was full of black crowds, and the warriors on the grassland led their own horses and marched slowly.

They crossed the border on horseback, and after confirming that there was no large-scale army buildup here, they got off their horses and walked on foot.

If the grassland people wanted to survive, an excellent horse was essential. These war horses could be ridden by these young and middle-aged men, and naturally they all had good quality.

Although it is not as good as the well-trained and bred horses of the Ridka knights, they still have good endurance and speed.

These warriors from the prairie didn't pay attention to the towering fortress in front of them with black smoke from the top.

Although the fortress is very tall, its area is only a dozen square meters. These soldiers can tell at a glance that there are not many people inside, let alone those hundred masters.

The Lord Yan Baizhu, who was in charge of the grassland soldiers, didn't care about the existence of these fortresses at all. They didn't think that the soldiers inside could have any influence on them.

If it was the Ridkars who fought, even those who knew nothing about military affairs would understand that it would be impossible to march without pulling out such nails.

If these fortresses are not conquered, then these nails will continue to harass behind them like tarsal maggots.

What's more, just to get through the grain road, you must also ensure that your rear is absolutely safe and there is no one else.

Even if the number of troops is small and there is no so-called food road to protect, it is necessary to ensure the safety of one's back, otherwise, attacking back and forth would be a desperate situation.

But for the prairie people, they don't care about this.

First, they are huge in number, and a mere one or two hundred soldiers cannot have much influence on them.

Second, they usually don't have any food roads. After they bring some portable food, cattle and sheep to the battlefield, all their supplies come from the enemy, and the looted materials are enough for them to support the war.

This was a tactic that the grassland people had always used in the past. They didn't build cities on the grasslands, so they didn't know the function of these fortresses very well. In fact, these fortresses really didn't have much need for their existence other than warning.

At this time, the prairie people below the fort found Hassan who was spying on the top. Several of them took off a half-human-high bow and arrow from their horses, and easily pulled a full moon, and several surveillance cameras jingled. The shot landed on the wall of the fortress, causing Hassan to withdraw his head in a hurry.

These prairie warriors are slightly shorter than the Ridka people, because of nutritional factors, they are not tall and majestic.

This is basically something that every nomad has to face, including those tribes on the Mongolian plateau in Leiner's previous life. Before they made a fortune, they could only eat grass stems and drink goat milk. Lose the old sheep to relieve hunger.

The people of Carat are farming people, coupled with developed hunting, their eating habits are similar to those of nomads except for the staple food, and they will also eat meat and drink milk if conditions permit, so they appear taller.

Of course, it was limited to the self-cultivated farmers and squires with wealthy families, as well as the residents of the northern border. The serf class was not even as good as the shepherd slaves on the grassland.

Hassan was so scared by the arrows that he almost peed his pants, while the grassland warriors below the fort laughed loudly, put away their short bows and continued to move forward.

The legs of these people are slightly deformed, which is caused by riding horses. Their bows are not very powerful, just ordinary household bows.

Riding and shooting on this grassland is an absolutely difficult skill, only a small number of people can master it, and the shooting range is only a mere dozen or so meters.

Hamel Khan was riding on a tall war horse. Next to him was Danba Khan of the Trike Tribe. In addition to Danba Khan, there were also Nayan from several large tribes on both sides, as well as small tribes. The independent face.

After more than a month and nearly two months of marching, the food they carried with the army has been consumed.

Therefore, the Nayans of the Arshan tribe asked Hamel Khan to disperse the supplementary military supplies.

Needless to say, it is very nomadic style to supplement military supplies.

Hamier Khan is as good as he is, and he is a native of the grasslands, so he has no objection to this.

Therefore, one by one, Nayan took the warriors of their tribes and dispersed to plunder the war materials.

However, the population of the land near the grassland is not large, and many people will go to Karen Fortress, so it seems sparsely populated.

However, there were still some people who did not have time to retreat into Kronborg, and they happened to be hit by soldiers on the grassland on the road.

A prairie cavalry of about 20 people roared and appeared more than 30 kilometers east of Karen Fort.

Here, there is a crowd like a long dragon. They drag their families, their property and livestock, and walk slowly on the winding and rugged path leading to Karenburg.

Because of too many burdens, their speed of action was seriously slowed down.

This prairie cavalry, like a group of dark clouds, appeared in front of this group of people like the wind, like a red-hot sharp knife, cut off the long dragon in an instant.
