Black Iron Crown

Chapter 647: 2 Promenade to the Imperial Capital

This Rawlsburg fortress is not considered difficult to conquer, but as the home of the ancestors of the Baron Rohrsburg family, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The archers under Earl Crick's command can be regarded as shining this time, causing a lot of damage to the army of the Kingdom of Bookern.

As the father-in-law of Rainer, Earl Crick is actually very close, just like those blood relatives who were canonized by him.

In order to strengthen his power in the south, Leiner, in addition to exporting steel, also transported more than 300 recurve bows he exchanged from the system to the south and handed them over to Earl Crick.

The technology contained in the recurve bow is definitely not comparable to the military bows currently used in the Ridka national army.

In addition, the strength is also very strong. After Leiner's own test, it can be converted to about 80 pounds in his previous life, which is quite powerful. At least among the Ridka nation, it is a unique data.

A total of two hundred archers holding recurve bows stood on the arrow tower and behind the battlements of Rawlsburg. They only fired three salvos, and the siege soldiers of the Kingdom of Bukeden threw down the ladder and ran away. , only left more than two hundred corpses under the castle.

After King Satli heard about this incident, he couldn't help being furious. More than 200 people died, which was not a small loss even for him.

Two hundred real professional regular troops consumed countless resources, and now more than two hundred people have died before even going up the enemy's city wall.

King Sutley galloped forward and appeared 500 meters away from Rawlsburg with his personal guards.

He followed his gaze and saw more than 200 corpses lying on the ground sparsely, and some people were still alive, clutching their wounds and moaning in pain on the ground.

"This!" King Satli couldn't help frowning upon seeing this scene, he didn't understand why there were so many casualties.

These soldiers are all wearing iron armor. Logically speaking, even if they are shot by arrows, they should not be fatal. If the iron armor is really that bad, then the price will not be so expensive.

King Satli glanced at the army behind him, and then said to his subordinates: "Let the warriors go up and have a look! I don't believe that this small castle can become a stumbling block to my progress!"

After King Sutley's order was conveyed, five hundred warriors directly under his command came out from behind.

Their movements are a bit slow, but they have a strong sense of power in their gestures. Although they look bloated, they are not stupid. They look terrifying, like war machines full of killing breath generally.

The warriors wore two layers of iron armor, with armed clothing as the inner lining. King Satli spent a lot of money. The previous war with the Kingdom of Bazalan stimulated his heart, and he didn't want such a shameful thing to happen again. up.

And these five hundred warriors are one of the results of his hard work in the past few years. They have changed from the single-layer iron armor in the past to the current double-layer heavy armor, endowing the warriors with extremely strong survivability.

This group of warriors carried the rest of the ladder and slowly approached Rawlsberg with their heads down.

"Shoot! Shoot everyone! Don't give them a chance! Eliminate them on the way to attack!" Sir Andrew flushed abnormally,

This is the first time he has personally stepped onto the front line of the war, and he is very excited.

He waved the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly to the archers on the battlements beside him and on the arrow tower behind him.

The archers were also high morale at this time, the round of shooting just now had such a result, they were full of confidence in themselves and the recurve bow in their hands.

"Stretching..." There was a sound of bowstring stretching, and the arrows roared sharply like locusts, whistling and flying towards the heavy armored warriors below, like the god of death descending.

However, beyond the expectations of the archers, this shot did not produce brilliant results as before.

More than two hundred arrows fell among the warriors, making a clanging sound, and the collision between the arrows and the iron armor was very crisp.

Some arrows were so weak when they hit the iron armor that they were bounced off by the armor, and some arrows pierced through the armor and got stuck on the opponent's armor.

However, it didn't seem to cause too much damage to the opponent, and it is unknown whether they shot through their flesh. In short, several warriors were about to be shot into hedgehogs, but they were still alive and well.

Only a few dozen arrows hit the weak points of the warriors' armor, and the two rounds of design only caused a dozen deaths.

However, compared with the previous results, this kind of victory was already very ugly. Sir Andrew's excited face instantly subsided, and was replaced by boundless solemnity.

Sir Andrew said to the earl who was also on the city wall: "Earl Lemon, let the knights stand up first, I'm afraid ordinary soldiers are no match for this group of people..."

Earl Lemon nodded, and several other nobles also agreed. Afterwards, more than a hundred knights who were standing by behind the city wall quickly walked up the city wall through the stairs.

Near the battlements on the city wall, many large stones were prepared. This is the stone reserve in Rawlsburg, and it has a miraculous effect on dealing with ladders.

However, after all, this is just a baronial castle. More than 5,000 soldiers gathered here, and it seems crowded. Obviously, there are not many reserves for rock fighting.

Although the previous results of the archers were not good, they would not stop shooting. The recurve bow in their hands was opened again and again, and the arrows were projected again and again. After five rounds of shooting, the archers stopped temporarily. the movement of the hand.

Panting, they took a few steps back and quickly regained their strength.

Afterwards, the infantry rushed up, and at this time, fifty or sixty heavily armored warriors had already fallen below the city wall.

The imperial capital, which is more than 800 kilometers away, is already full of turmoil at this time, and the news of Leiner's triumphant progress spread to the imperial capital as quickly as a tsunami.

At this time, Reiner was only more than 120 kilometers away from the imperial capital, which was only three or four days away.

In a tavern in the imperial capital, because of the war, this tavern that was usually full seemed a little deserted.

The waitresses stood together in twos and threes complaining about the lack of customers, while the bartender was at the bar counter wiping the wooden wine glasses over and over again.

As people who are engaged in very dishonorable jobs, they have no extra wealth to move to other places, and they have no relatives to let them go, so they have to stay in this tavern and continue to work. Survival in the chaos depends on luck.

There are not many drinkers in the tavern, but they still don't change their habit of gathering together to chat and show off their knowledge.

"The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory is a big man! He is really likely to become the emperor of this country. I have a friend who has been to the land of the Northern Territory. I heard that it has almost become a paradise on earth!"

A drinker was bragging loudly with a wine glass in his hand. While everyone was amazed, there were also people who expressed different opinions.
