Black Iron Crown

"Boss, do we really want to help the emperor defend the city? You also know that the northern border army is the most powerful army in the world, we can't afford to mess with it!"

A soldier in old leather armor looked down from the city wall and saw the cold light below. He couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, and said to the captain beside him.

"What are you talking about! We are mercenaries, and we have to do things after we take the money!" The mercenary captain slapped him on the head and said angrily.

"Even if we have to leave! We have to take the money before we leave!" The mercenary captain said in a low voice after his high-sounding speech.

"Hey, it's wonderful, Captain! I knew that following the captain is not dangerous and you can get money!"

Of course, there are still some troops of the little emperor's direct line on the city wall, the only remaining 2,500 regular troops, this is the last force the little emperor can control.

This group of soldiers was wearing leather armor and armed uniforms, holding spears and firmly guarding the city wall.

It's not that they are not afraid of death, but because they have received too much favor, they have been firmly labeled as loyal to the little emperor, especially some military officers, once the city is broken, they will undoubtedly die.

Reiner didn't immediately order the soldiers to attack the city. The walls of the imperial capital were towering and the defense facilities were complete.

Therefore, Leiner asked the soldiers to start building camps to prevent the enemy from sneaking out of the city.

The soldiers began to move in full swing, and the knight's followers were taking care of the horses, feeding the horses with beans, and washing the horses.

Some of the ordinary soldiers were building tents, some were setting up pots and starting fires, and some were taking parts one by one and starting to assemble the horses, erecting them on the edge of the camp.

Under the hot scene, Leiner rode a war horse on the edge of the camp, looking at the towering city wall in front of him.

His heart was full of fire, he wished he could rush in now and take off the emperor's crown from the little emperor's head and put it on his own head.

The last time I had to withdraw to the northern border, I had to wait for four years, and now I finally returned here with stronger strength. No matter what happens, it is impossible to back down again!

Reiner's heart became more and more determined, and Earl Jolar rode to his side.

"We will succeed! No one can stop us!" Earl Jolar also looked up at the majestic city wall in front of him. In the past, this represented the glory and power of the Moreland family.

But now, in this city of glory, the heart of the empire has been stolen by the blood of the damned pseudo-emperor. As a descendant of the Merland family, he must assist Leiner to regain the throne.

The Earl of Preston looked at the two people side by side, and returned to the tent without saying a word.

After a whole night of busy work, there were more than 50 well rails in the camp that were taller than the 22-meter city wall of the imperial capital in front of us. Besides, there were more than 80 counterweight trebuchets. , it also has another name - Huihuipao.

Reiner doesn't think there will be any accidents this time, even if the western countries have jihad orders, so what? This kind of so-called jihad or crusade usually takes two or three years. Even if it doesn't take two or three years, only a few months are enough to clean up the old mountains and rivers.

In this way, Jing Lan was pushed out of the camp slowly by a dozen soldiers, and the trebuchet was also dragged down by heavy horses to a place more than 400 meters away from the city wall of the imperial capital.

The army directly under Leiner's own headquarters had set up a formation at the main gate of the imperial capital, and the armies of the rest of the vassals were also ready at the gates of several other cities.

Reiner's archers and crossbowmen quickly climbed onto the high platform of the well, and inside the well, there are dozens of heavily armed soldiers hiding. They will walk along the well in a short while The long board climbed the city wall.

"Everyone get ready! Cheer up! They're not as scary as Shennong! They're human too! We're going to kick their ass hard!"

The officers on the city wall shouted loudly to the soldiers beside them that they were the real vested interests and the direct descendants of the little emperor, so naturally they didn't want the city to be destroyed.

As for the mercenaries who helped defend on the city wall, they listened to these words with curt lips, and the plans in their hearts were naturally beyond the understanding of outsiders.

"The archer throws! The trebuchet continues to shoot!" Reiner gave the order lightly.

He still didn't want to lose too many manpower. He would bombard the opponent first to destroy their morale, and then he could attack the city.

Leiner knew that his enemy was not only the little emperor, but also the kingdom of Bookern in the south. Although he had asked Earl Creek to resist them for four months, Leiner did not know whether he could really stop them. four months.

Arrows poured down towards the city wall like rain, and the sharp sound of whizzing past was like death's scythe, which no one feared.

These soldiers could only dodge the arrows attack helplessly by standing behind the battlements, and the counterweight trebuchet, commonly known as the return gun, kept roaring, projecting hundreds of kilograms of boulders onto the city wall.

Of course, even with such a heavy boulder blow, the majestic city wall of the imperial capital is still standing still. The boulders can only smash holes of different sizes, and pick up countless stones and fly on the city wall.

Although the counterweight trebuchet is far stronger than other types of trebuchets, it cannot change the fact that it is a relatively primitive strike method.

Every time the 80 trebuchets projected, many stones would hit the wall of the city wall, or the back of the city wall, smashing down a house.

But even so, there were still a few catapults that produced results.

Hundreds of kilograms of boulders fell on the bodies of several defenders, and the consequences were extremely terrible.

Under the acceleration of gravity, the heavy boulder contains infinite power. No matter how sophisticated the armor is, there is only one end.

The splattered blood and internal organs splashed all over the ground, and the human figure could no longer be seen under the boulder. Bloody and bloody minced meat is the best adjective.

The soldiers beside the lump of meat were all terrified looking at the bloody scene in front of them.

A mercenary's helmet was crooked. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but let out the loudest howl in his life. It was as if he had seen hell on earth, and he was completely frightened and lost his mind.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the morale of the defenders on the city wall began to shake, and fear spread like a plague.

Just like that, the defenders trembled under the terrifying blow like a flat boat in the stormy sea.

Half an hour later, Leiner raised his hand and said to the herald beside him indifferently: "Stop the trebuchet, and the archers will continue to suppress the enemy's arrow tower!"

Then, he said again: "Let the third and fourth regiments carry the ladder up to carry out the first trial attack!"

Words followed suit, and after receiving Leiner's order, the third and fourth regiments quickly moved.

"Hurry up! Everyone, hurry up! The time to make contributions is up! We imagine your rewards! Don't worry about death! Your Majesty will take care of our family! Everyone else is watching us! The third regiment is invincible!!"
