Black Iron Crown

King Satri assembled his army again under the walls of Fort Rolle to conquer the damned castle in one fell swoop.

More than 15,000 soldiers covered the sky and covered the earth. Looking from the city wall, all the targets were countless enemy troops.

However, the defenders in Fort Rolle were not afraid of this. Although there were a few elite enemies, most of them took in weak lambs. Even if they hit the city wall, they were just waiting for their killing.

The rest of the wells were poured with water to prevent the enemy's fire attack.

The archers, as always, stood on the top of the well and prepared to suppress the enemy.

The soldiers who were fighting the enemy also entered the inside of Jinglan, preparing to attack the enemy's city.

The soldiers of the imperial army looked calm, and the series of wars left them fearless in their hearts. As long as they were not facing the Northern Army of Grand Duke Lena, they could be as solid as a rock without causing any waves.

But the army of the Kingdom of Bukden couldn't do this at all. The previous battles had shown them the tenacity and ferocity of the enemy army. sad.

The wars in the Kingdom of Bookern had never been so bloody. Most of them were rout battles. After defeating the enemy, a large number of prisoners were captured in exchange for ransom. Everyone tried to avoid losing their lives on the battlefield.

They are not like Leiner's northern army, who are brave in public battles but timid in private wars. They are unwilling to conflict with their neighbors in their hometown, but happy to pursue their own glory and rewards on the battlefield.

In order to protect their own property, the people of the Bukden Kingdom will fight hard, but they will not get much wealth here, so their morale is not as high as it was at the beginning.

The richer the place, the lower the combat effectiveness, this is not empty talk.

The Imperial Army is different. Although their families are well-off, the tradition of the Empire's martial arts and immediate fame is still in play.

Most of them are the youngest sons of farmers or squires, and their education is fundamentally different from that of serfs at the bottom. Even if they are not nobles, they still pursue honor.

Clenching the halberds in their hands, they looked at the city wall with many cracks, looking forward to the start of the battle.

The remaining four ballistas were still bombarding the walls of Fort Rohr, but unfortunately, the deterrence and lethality caused by the mere four ballistas were somewhat insufficient. After three rounds of shooting, only one stone hit the battlement, giving The defenders suffered seven or eight casualties.

In addition, the best record produced by the ballista is just to add a lot of cracks to the city wall again, and it does not do much damage to the castle built of stones as a whole.

King Satri was clearly dissatisfied with the situation, so he waved his hand irritably, and said to a follower beside him, "Stop shooting the ballista and trebuchets, and let the soldiers go up!"

The ashamed gunner hurriedly stopped his movements, and some soldiers in heavy armor began to let the behemoth slowly approach the city wall through the handle on the well rail.

The well rail moved forward slowly, and soon came to the front of Fort Rolle. There was a creaking sound of wooden planks, and they slammed onto the battlements.

The archers on both sides immediately set up their bows and started shooting frantically.

Although the archers couldn't cause too much damage to each other because of the existence of the bunker when shooting each other,

But no one can deny the important role of archers.

On the battlefield, archers have never been the main force in deciding a battle, and it is always the main soldiers fighting on the front line that determine the outcome of a war.

However, the importance of archers cannot be ignored.

Their function is to shoot at the enemy's archers, forcing the enemy's archers to be unable to hit their own soldiers with arrows.

Once the archers of one side are shot and collapsed, then their infantry will face the blow of arrow rain, and the formation will be disrupted by the archers, exposing the flaws to the enemy's infantry.

The archers on the well fence did not shoot the infantry on the enemy wall, and the archers on the arrow tower did not shoot the soldiers on the wooden planks.

The soldiers who attacked the city successfully reached the battlements.

The soldiers who had been hiding from the ballista and trebuchets behind the battlements hastily drew out their long swords from their waists, picked up their spears and battle axes, and moved towards the positions where the wells were located.

The imperial soldiers were brave and fearless, and the halberds in their hands burst out with extremely powerful power, attacking the weak points of the enemy's armor one after another, causing several casualties to the enemy in a short period of time.

However, even so, relying on the advantage of the city wall, the defenders could besiege the siege imperial army. Every time two or three of them managed to climb the city wall, they had to face several times the enemy's siege.

In this way, not to mention the Imperial Capital Army, even Leiner's Northern Frontier Army can only be helpless in such a situation.

Although the proportion of casualties will be much smaller, losses are inevitable.

On the other hand, the army of the Kingdom of Bukeden performed even worse. Facing the culling of the army of the Kingdom of Bazalan, they even flinched and did not dare to climb the city wall.

There is no doubt that this is a group of wastes who have lost their gold and jade, and their long-term good life has made them lose their former toughness.

More than half an hour has passed, and the result of this attack is not as good as the first attack two days ago.

At that time, the first appearance of the ballista gave a great deterrent to the Bazalan Kingdom's army and directly affected their morale.

The war in the cold weapon period is very dependent on morale, and the impact of equipment on victory or defeat is only in modern times.

Therefore, the performance of the warriors of the Kingdom of Bukeden on the battlefield made King Satri lose face. Even if they were ordered to fight bravely, they were still old-fashioned when they actually arrived on the battlefield.

This attack was still in vain in the end. After leaving more than 800 corpses but only causing two or three hundred people to the enemy, King Satri angrily gave an order to retreat.

However, although the soldiers withdrew, the blows from the ballista and trebuchets did not stop.

Things like stones are everywhere, just put them on the trebuchet and throw them out.

After a whole day, the loss to the defenders of Bazalan Kingdom was less than a hundred people, and King Satri didn't want to lose too many troops like this, so he could only choose to besiege.

It is hoped that the food reserves of the defenders in the city will be exhausted.

In this way, it will bring a great burden to the lords in the western region and the imperial capital.

The food and drink of more than 15,000 people is definitely an astronomical figure. The food stored by the lords of the western region is simply not enough.

We can only collect food from the imperial capital and transport it to the west to support the use of the army.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Bazaran defenders in the city still showed no signs of running out of food. King Satri could only suppress his impatience and continue the siege.

At this time in Innzburg, King Emalu was convening all the vassals here to discuss matters.

Regarding the siege of Fort Rohr by the coalition forces, King Emalu had already thought of a plan in his mind.
