Black Iron Crown

Chapter 61: Sneak Attack

"Holy Father's will!" The soldiers followed Reiner and shouted loudly, their high voices filled the entire open space.

This time, Leiner assembled all the troops, and even the knights recruited their followers to come here.

As for the security of the territory, he had recruited dozens of freemen to take up arms and stationed in the castle. At this moment, the hunters who were supposed to be hunting in the forest also entered the arrow tower in the castle to guard.

Just like that, Leiner left the castle with nearly 200 soldiers under the banner of the Moreland family.

This team was followed by dozens of carriages, which were all the army's logistical supplies, and a large amount of food was carried, which was enough for his army to feed for 20 days prepared by Leiner.

Even if he took out these grains, it was not so easy. Originally, if the grains in the castle were eaten normally, they could be used by the army and the people in the castle for five or six years. More will be supported until this year's autumn harvest.

Reiner was not wearing the iron armor at this time. For the convenience of marching, all the soldiers took off their heavy armor, and so did the knights. This was all to maintain their strength during the march.

Fort Kahn does not border with Fort Merland, but it is a neighbor of Fort Goer, just to the west of Fort Goer, that is, to the southwest of Fort Merland. In the evening, we arrived at Korburg for a rest.

He didn't take a shortcut and went directly to Fort Kahn, because that was someone else's territory, and if he showed up on the other side's territory with an army, it would probably trigger a war.

Arriving at Fort Gore, some of the remaining people in the castle opened the gates of the castle to welcome Reiner. He arranged accommodation for each soldier, and let the soldiers start to rest after dinner.

He planned to get up early tomorrow morning and try to reach Fort Kahn before noon to rescue Baron Kahn.

"Sir Ryland, get the soldiers ready, the battle is coming soon!" Reiner said to Sir Ryland.

"Please rest assured, Lord Baron, the sergeants have experienced many battles and will never relax!"

In this way, they left in a hurry after dinner, and at dawn the next day, at about five o'clock in the morning, the entire army was assembled under the urging of the assembly number.

It took more than ten minutes for everyone to dress up, and the sergeants lined up neatly. Discipline and formation had been integrated into their blood, and they would arrange formation subconsciously.

The other soldiers lined up reluctantly, rubbing their sleepy eyes. After waiting for another five minutes, they finally stood up.

Looking at this scene, Leiner couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The training time for these people is still too short, and they can't be compared with Sergeants Moreland at all.

Reiner didn't say much, and ordered the troops to set off.

After walking for more than three hours, about ten kilometers, this is already the territory of Fort Kahn. He ordered the soldiers to put on their armor to prevent the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The marching speed of the soldiers who had put on the armor was significantly slower. Although the armor was the best protection for life, it also made them a lot of burden.

They walked through the slightly muddy country road in spring, moving slowly, and at this time Fort Kahn was facing a crisis.

Sir Kahn was dressed in full body, with an iron helmet on his head, and a long sword in his hand, commanding the soldiers on the city wall to fight against the besieging enemy.

The enemy outside the city was not the Baron Robbean who attacked Fort Merland back then. They only prepared some long ladders and rushed there. They even prepared the well.

Two tall well rails stood in front of Kahn Castle like this, even higher than the city wall of Kahn Castle,

In this way, the advantage of the city wall is almost eliminated. Instead, the archers on the well can rely on their height advantage to shoot down towards the city wall, and the role of the battlements is almost useless.

And their archers can only shoot the archers on the opponent's well rail on the arrow tower, but the number is not as large as the opponent's, and they cannot cause too much damage.

Without archers to suppress the enemy's infantry, the opponent's infantry had already easily put the long ladder on the city wall and began to climb, and Jing Lan also dropped the long plank on the city wall.

The entire city wall has been reduced to a chaotic battlefield. The siege has only lasted more than ten days, and Baron Kahn's troops have become less and less under the enemy's repeated consumption.

As the number of enemy troops on the city wall increased, their activities and combat scope were constantly compressed, and as time went by, the losses have become greater and greater.

At this time, Baron Kahn's face under the helmet became more and more ugly. He could clearly judge that the enemy was no longer expending troops this time, but wanted to take this opportunity to directly capture Fort Kahn. At least they I also want to capture the outer city wall.

If this is the case, then Baron Kahn will definitely fall into an unprecedented predicament, and it is not so easy to defend with a main castle alone.

Seeing a soldier in front of him whose head had been chopped off by the enemy, and whose body was sprayed with blood like raindrops, Baron Kahn was very anxious.

"Damn it! Why haven't you come yet!" Baron Kahn cursed in his heart, Reiner had already agreed to his request for help, why didn't he come at this time? Has he betrayed himself?

He also didn't care about his wild thoughts anymore, he pulled a sword flower, and rushed to the forefront of the battle with the long sword in one hand, slashed and killed two enemies one after another with great power, and shouted at the dozens of soldiers behind him. Shouted: "Baron Rainer will come to our aid! Our reinforcements are on the way! Hang in there, we're about to win!"

After listening to his words, coupled with Baron Kahn's great power, the soldiers' resistance became more intense. Even if they died, they would bring the enemy with them.

The top of the city wall was full of blood at this moment, and every time the soldiers stepped on their leather boots, they could stir up several blood flowers. Perhaps the demons in hell would think this was a rare beauty when they saw it.

At this time, Leiner was leading the army slowly towards Fort Kahn. The sun was at its highest point, and it was already noon. Temporary food such as air-dried meat.

Reiner gave them only ten minutes in which they had to eat and move on.

At this time, he and his army were only about three kilometers away from Fort Kahn, and about ten minutes was enough time for them to rest.

More than an hour later, they were able to see the outline of Fort Kahn, and the scene on the city wall appeared faintly in front of Reiner.

If the enemy did not attack the city but besieged the city, it would be really difficult for him to set up camp outside the castle, but the enemy was in the process of attacking, which meant that there were a large number of soldiers on the city wall, unable to engage in the battle below the castle.

Lena's disadvantaged force will be transformed into an advantage, which is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
