Black Iron Crown

There are many factors that determine the outcome of the war. Although the left-wing army in the northern border is somewhat uneven overall, they still have many advantages.

First of all, their morale is high. Both the lords and the soldiers at the bottom are full of confidence in this war.

Although it is unavoidable that some recruits will be nervous, everyone is fully prepared.

Compared to this point, the right-wing army of the Bookden Kingdom, which has just been harassed by the light cavalry, is inferior to the Northern Army. There has already been a slight chaos within them, so first of all, it is not as good as the Northern Army in terms of morale. border army.

In addition, the vassals under Leiner's command also purchased a certain number of recurve bows from Leiner's hands. Although there are not many archers, the duty of this unit is to projectile the enemy infantry.

With the attack of the arrows, before the enemy army reached the front of the left-wing army in the northern border, they scattered and fell three or four hundred people.

However, their archers only caused minimal casualties to the northern border army, only seven or eight fell to the ground.

The power of the recurve bow is enough to allow the arrow to penetrate the enemy's iron armor within 80 meters, but the opponent's bow and arrow cannot do this. Being bounced off, only a few unlucky ones lost their fighting ability because of this.

After the two sides engage in hand-to-hand combat, the advantages and disadvantages will become more obvious.

The soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army, whose average height was half a head taller than that of the Kingdom of Bukden, had a great advantage. The tall ones were stronger than the short ones in terms of absolute strength. Into the weak point of the opponent's armor.

Of course, in more cases, the long sword cannot penetrate the iron armor, and it must be attacked several times before it can be put to death.

In the first round of confrontation, the northern border army exchanged the loss of more than 600 enemy troops at the cost of more than 200 casualties. Such a three-fold loss ratio made Leiner smile instantly.

But King Sutley's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The defeat in the first battle made his face a little uneasy, and he also had a little worry in his heart.

But then, he comforted himself that his left-wing army had not been attacked by surprise, and there would be good results.

Of course, King Sutley was most confident in his central army, where he deployed all his elite troops, including 800 heavy armored warriors, who were also at the forefront of the formation.

In addition, the infantry of the Kardashian Sultanate were also arranged on the right side of his own army. These infantry also wore iron armor, carried machetes or heavy iron rods similar to warhammers, and looked equally extraordinary. .

King Satli didn't feel that under such circumstances, his central army was still not the enemy's opponent.

Subsequently, Reiner's right flank collided with the enemy's left flank.

This time, the two sides seem to be barely evenly matched.

At least during the first confrontation, the army of the Kingdom of Bookern did not show any obvious signs of decline.

Lehner's right wing lost about 200 people, while the enemy's losses were more than 300 and less than 400 people. It seems that the casualty ratio is not very exaggerated.

However, Leiner is not worried about his right wing at all, because these vassals of his own still have this group of elite knights who have experienced many battles.

When these killing machines like tanks come to the battlefield, what awaits the enemy is a massacre.

Leiner didn't feel that the enemy's so-called heavy armored infantry, known as warriors, could be compared with knights.

What's more, the 6,000 troops are still staring at the enemy from the flanks, and they can quickly attack the enemy only after Leiner gives an order.

It's getting closer, getting closer, Leiner is in the main formation of the central army, and the central army of the Kingdom of Bookern is about to engage in hand-to-hand combat with his main formation.

Reiner didn't panic about this at all, and said to a herald beside him: "Go and order the town guards and garrisons to launch an attack on the enemy's right wing!"

Reiner's voice was very indifferent, but the order from his mouth made the blood on the battlefield thicker.

The herald rode on a fast horse and took the command flag and galloped into the distance.

At this time, the main formation of the Chinese army has already started their attack.

Earl Leland, as the commander of the infantry, now has the right to command all infantry in the central army.

"Crossbowmen shoot!"

With his roar, the 400 Winter crossbowmen under Leiner's command took the lead in throwing shots at the enemy.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 350 meters. The pulley and steel crossbow used by the Winter crossbowman had an effective range of about 400 meters. However, considering that the enemy was wearing iron armor, Earl Leyland moved it closer. .

Four hundred crossbow bolts containing enormous power were ejected by the steel crossbow arms, drawing a subtle and graceful arc in the air, and with a sharp sound, they fell into the enemy's formation.

What followed was a scream, and more than a hundred people fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight.

For the sake of combat effectiveness in this era, the tighter the formation, the stronger the formation, so these soldiers can't wait to grow together.

Under such a crowded formation, the crossbowmen hardly needed to aim, and could just shoot directly at the opponent's formation.

However, the iron armor still had an effect after all. The distance of 350 meters made the power of the crossbow arrows so much weaker that some of the arrows did not penetrate the enemy's iron armor.

At the same time, the town guards who received the order were slowly approaching the enemy's left flank according to Leiner's request.

Lehner was going to use the enemy's left flank as a breakthrough, and then let his right flank flank the enemy.

Although the combat effectiveness of the town guards is somewhat unsatisfactory, they only need to play sideways and hit the enemy's morale. If they are placed on the right wing, they may not be able to withstand the enemy's blow.

King Satli saw the town guards moving, and he was a little panicked. He hurriedly said to General Karda beside him: "Your Excellency, I hope you will take all your cavalry as soon as possible, and fight against the enemy's cavalry." The army launched a surprise attack from the side, try to crush them as much as possible, and don't let them approach our left flank!"

The interpreter hastened to convey to the general the words of King Sutli.

"Remember, you must be quick, and defeat the enemy's cavalry before they react!" King Satli said, and the general of the Kardas also rode their tall horses towards his subordinates.

More than one hundred "cleaners", two hundred heavy cavalry, and four hundred light cavalry were waiting for his order.

"The whole team! Charge with me!" General Karda shouted loudly, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded throughout the battlefield instantly.

Leiner noticed the enemy's movements, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His heavy cavalry had been waiting for a long time!

Afterwards, Reiner said to the herald: "Pass my order to Earl Valas, let him take all the heavy cavalry buddies to fight with that cavalry! I want to keep them all!"

Leiner is full of confidence in his cavalry, he doesn't think any cavalry in this world can defeat the Scarlet Griffon Knights with the same number.
