Black Iron Crown

Chapter 716 Bloody Battle on the City Wall

The Golden Lion Guard really lived up to their title, and the furious lion is the best portrayal of them at this time.

The majestic warriors jumped onto the city wall to wipe out the enemies. Their movements were rough but very efficient. In just a few tens of seconds, the enemy lost at least thirty or forty people.

"Hold it! Hold it! We still have reinforcements! The enemy is far outnumbered by us! Drive them down!"

Amon and several church sergeants worked hard to resist the attack of the Golden Lion Guard. He held a shield, and with the cooperation of the sergeants, he dealt with two guard soldiers who were half a head taller than him.

Seeing that the enemy army was being blocked, the soldiers whose morale had been somewhat slack finally mustered up their courage, and fought with the Golden Lion Guards with their spears, swords and shields.

The archers on the horse's face were still shooting at the imperial soldiers carrying the ladders, but unfortunately, their bows were weak, and the soldiers were all wearing double-layer armor with shields in their hands.

The sparse arrows hardly played any role except for occasionally causing a few soldiers to scream.

Soon, the infantry with the ladder came to the bottom of Lu Gaoyin's city wall, and they worked together to put the ladder on the battlements and buckled it to death, and they were ready to climb.

"Hold on! If you can't hold the castle! We're all going to die!"

A baron stood on the city wall waving his weapon. These nobles have not left their own jobs. It is their duty and responsibility to lead the army to fight.

The imperial army's offensive became more violent. Except for Leiner's direct army, the other lords also dispatched troops to launch a fierce attack on the city wall.

"Knights get ready!"

As the strongest weapon of war in this era, Lord Knights naturally cannot stand idly by. They are not only proficient in horseback combat, but also a powerful combat unit with one against ten in foot combat.

The knights are gearing up with their retinues, they are not afraid of death, they are born ready for war, they start military training at the age of eight, and they are barely qualified until the age of eighteen.

The vast majority of knights have this extremely rich combat experience. After more than ten or even twenty years of training, if they can achieve glory and meritorious service on the battlefield, even if they die, they will bring glory to their family and future generations.

The soldiers have already begun to climb up the city wall along the ladder, and the Golden Lion Guards are still fighting fiercely, hoping to give the latecomers room to fight.

The huge rushing car has come to the front of the city gate,

Hit the city gate again and again, making a loud roar.

"Sirs! It's time to seek glory! The Empire will always remember your feats!" Reiner shouted loudly, and he planned to attack once to test the enemy's will to fight.

Spending time with the enemy for a long time is really not Leiner's style, not to mention that no matter whether the fortress in front of him can be captured or not, there is a prerequisite, that is, to hurt the enemy and let the other party see his determination.

Otherwise, if you retreat after suffering a little loss, you will only harm your own interests, and wanting the other party to pay the price is just a dream.

What's more, Leiner still feels that he has the opportunity to break through this fortress in one fell swoop. The enemy army is defeated by him on the frontal battlefield. .

"For Your Majesty! For Glory!"

The knights drew out their long swords or maces, and with their shields in their left hands, they led their followers and walked quickly towards the ladder and the well.

Wearing heavy armor, they couldn't run fast, but the deterrent effect of such a group of people was stronger than that of the Golden Lion Guard.

Although the ability of these knights to fight on foot is definitely not as good as that of the Golden Lion Guard, they bear the title of knights after all, and their colorful robes and armor are naturally more deterrent.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army had already begun to engage the enemy on the wall. A spear pierced a soldier's head, but luckily his helmet saved his life.

The warrior stabbed out the short spear in his hand frightened, and only heard a scream, and his enemy fell back and died.

But before he started the next move, three more spears pierced his body.

The two spears failed to penetrate the iron armor, but the last spear squeezed through the chain armor around his neck and scratched fiercely at his arteries.

Almost in an instant, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground. Almost no one survived the eight-meter-high city wall. He was thrown to death under his weight.

The intensity of the battle climbed to the top almost immediately, everyone was fighting hard, both sides of the war were terrified at this moment, everyone was working hard to kill each other.

Finally, besides the Golden Lion Guard, the first imperial soldier to climb the city wall appeared. This soldier shouted, the long sword in his hand opened and closed, cut off an enemy's neck with one sword, and then stabbed the long sword After entering another person's chest, he was unfortunately killed by three long swords and two spears.

"The Fourth Squadron of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Company! Soldier Mapus! Climb first and kill the two!" The team officer who was still on the ladder shouted heartbreakingly, and the team members behind him also shouted loudly.

The siege is carried out according to the establishment. They will be the first to attack the city this time, and they will get an extra three years of salary. At the same time, their family members will be exempted from tax for ten years.

The first climber will get ten gold coins, 50 acres of arable land, twenty sheep, ten cattle, and five copper coins for killing an enemy.

In other words, the fallen warrior will receive twelve gold coins as monetary rewards and other rewards in kind.

The rest of the fighters were also full of motivation after hearing such shouts. Although the rewards for the first climb were generous, the rewards for the second climb were equally attractive.

The soldiers launched an onslaught towards the city wall even more desperately. As for the Golden Lion Guard, their salaries were not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Although the rewards for climbing first were generous, this was their duty.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and lives were constantly disappearing. After paying the price of more than 300 people killed in battle, Leiner's direct army finally occupied some space on the city wall.

The Golden Lion Guard who was closest to them rushed towards them in a hurry, trying to help them stabilize this difficult front.

As the situation opened up on the city wall, more and more warriors climbed up, and the knights fought with their followers, maces and long swords.

Amon and Deron were back to back, followed by several church sergeants who were in a state of embarrassment. They fought fiercely for a long time and experienced a bloody battle with the soldiers under Reiner's command, but in the end they failed to stop the imperial army from boarding the The footsteps of the city wall.

It was only half an hour before the start of the battle, but at this time more than 800 imperial soldiers had flooded the city wall, and the entire front was already in jeopardy.
