Black Iron Crown

Chapter 405: Beaten up

That's right, the siege that lasted for three months not only did not bring any benefits to Rainer and others, but also consumed a lot of food and arrows, and the loss was not small.

If he didn't take something from the group of people in the imperial capital to make up for the loss, Rainer would not be reconciled anyway.

Thus, Rainer led the lords directly to the front of the city wall, beyond the range of the enemy's arrows.

"Call Count Redmara and your queen to come out!" Rainer shouted loudly, his voice echoing on the battlefield.

After a while, Count Redmara appeared on the wall, and he leaned on the battlements with both hands and replied: "I am here, what are you doing?"

"That's it! As a member of the Merland family! Lord of the Redka Empire! I can't bear to see the imperial capital built by the Merland family and the residents in the walls suffer such suffering! For this we are willing to forgive Once you and the queen, I hope you will be less treacherous in the future. As long as this can be achieved, we will immediately withdraw our troops!"

Count Redmara listened to Rainer's words, his eyes rolled in circles, and he quickly thought about the meaning of Rainer's words in his heart.

"You are right, the benevolent Grand Duke of the North, Rainer, the innocent residents shouldn't be the victims of the war. We are willing to abandon your guilt for them. Now as long as you retreat, we will never pursue them!"

Count Redmara has figured out the joints. At the beginning, the father of Frank was the Earl of Crick in the south. If the Kingdom of Bukerdern had entered the frontier of the empire, Earl Crick would immediately The news was passed to him, and now it seems obvious that he has made a choice.

As a result, Count Redmara became confident and dared to say such words proudly.

Lena frowned slightly. Although he had planned to retreat, he couldn't bear the irony.

"Don't confuse the earl of Redmara! I hope you can face your mistakes and admit them, and promise to never make them again. I hope we can have a negotiation on this matter!"

Rainer has made his purpose very clear, but it is a pity that Count Redmara is not willing to follow his wishes.

"Negotiations are unnecessary. As long as you retreat, your misconduct will not be held accountable. This is the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen!"

Rainer's expression became ugly at this moment, and Earl Jolar even yelled directly.

The royal lords were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Earl Redmara, since you are still so obsessive, don't blame my men for being ruthless for so long!"

With that, Rainer furiously beat his horse and left, returned to the camp, and directly issued the order to siege the city.

This time, it wasn't just the war of attrition like before. Reiner had to accept his own negotiation to fight them.

The Scarlet Gryphon Knights left their horses, eagerly picking up their swords and preparing to climb the city wall at any time.

The Golden Lion Guards also put on the four layers of armor with the help of their companions, and took up a one-handed battle axe and round shield to sit on the ground and waited for the start of the battle.

Looking at the army waiting under the city wall, Count Redmara's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, but since he had already said something just now, he was not repeating the truth.

He can only tell the guards on the city wall with a solemn expression to guard strictly, and absolutely not allow the enemy to break through the city wall.

"Woo..." The deep copper trumpet sounded under the city wall, resounding throughout the battlefield, which announced the beginning of a full-scale attack.

Jing Lan once again made a creaking sound under the push of the infantry, and slowly approached the wall of the imperial capital.

The Scarlet Gryphon Rider and the Golden Lion Guard were eager to try inside Jing Lan, while Sergeant Moland was silent, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

"Throwing!" The chiefs of the crossbowmen and archers shouted loudly, and the arrows that covered the sky flew up to the city wall again.

But all the defenders on the city wall can't hide under the battlements, so they must allocate a part of their troops to guard against the infantry's attack.

Soon, the Scarlet Gryphon Rider and the Golden Lion Guard rushed to the city wall first.

The defenders on the walls were already prepared, and many of the soldiers had battle axes, maces, halberds or page hammers in their hands.

They are all heavy weapons that can cause damage to heavy armor. As soon as the three to four kilograms of page hammers are blown off, even the Golden Lion Guards wearing four-layer armors will really love the hammer, I am afraid they will have to hate under this kind of attack. .

However, they are all experienced combat veterans and will do their best to avoid this from happening.

The Scarlet Gryphon Knights had just stepped onto the city wall, and they were greeted by countless blows from the defenders.

"Peng!"

Earl Varas's shield was missed, but it prevented him from being hit by a page hammer.

He swung his backhand long sword and slashed it on the enemy's shoulder, and then another sword pierced the weak point of the opponent's armor.

Count Varas drew the long sword at an extremely fast speed, and blood spurted out in an instant, and then he again turned to place the target on the next enemy army.

The fighting style of the Golden Lion Guard is completely different from that of the Scarlet Gryphon Rider. The battle axe in their hands swept back and forth, and the enemy's long sword or spear attack was not in their eyes.

Let the other party stab him, but he was unharmed.

Then, what greeted the enemy was the sweep of the battle axe. A layer of chain armor could not effectively prevent the hit of the battle axe at all, just like paper, it was easily cut through.

Although the enemy is holding heavy weapons in his hands, they are not really elites rolling on the battlefield. The fighting skills and the Scarlet Gryphon Knights and the Golden Lion Guards are not the same.

Two minutes after the battle began, only one Scarlet Gryphon rider was hit by the enemy's page hammer in the liver~lightnovelpub.net~ had to stagger and ran off the city wall.

A small loss could not change the overall situation. The two elite troops cleared a lot of open space on the city wall like sharp knives, and Sergeant Merland and the soldiers rushed to the city head like a tide along the well.

Count Redmara couldn't help being very annoyed by seeing the defeated soldiers, and at the same time panicked in his heart.

"Knight! Where's the knight? Heavy cavalry! Give me up! You must not let them occupy the city wall!" Count Redmara shouted loudly from the rear holding a long sword. Once the city wall is lost, everything is too late.

Remorse began in his heart. If he hadn't been so arrogant just now, maybe the two sides would not have developed to this point.

The knights and heavy cavalry pushed them up with heavy weapons in their hands. Their combat experience was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. This made the attacking situation of Reiner's army suddenly stagnant.

However, they are still not the opponents of the Scarlet Gryphon Rider and the Golden Lion Guard, they just slowed the attack speed.
