Black Iron Crown

Chapter 472: Go to war

The November morning is still very cold, even in the mild south.

There was a little white mist shrouded in the sky, and the damp water vapor blowing on the body could not help making people feel chilly.

However, this does not affect both parties present.

Soldiers in the south have basically adapted to such a climate, and these soldiers from the north under Rainer are all wearing armed clothes, and they are not afraid of the weather at all.

The armies of the two sides were facing each other, and Rainer first led ten Scarlet Gryphon knights out of his own array.

Lena rode forward slowly on the tall horse. Although there were only eleven people, he stepped out of a mighty force.

Upon seeing this, Lord Lorance also took his knight and walked out with the Duke of Ans.

The two sides approached slowly like this.

When the distance between the two sides was only a short 20 meters, the knights of both sides stopped unanimously, and Rainer, the Earl of Lorans and the Duke of Ans continued to move forward.

"Meeting again, dear Grand Duke Rainer!" Count Lorance looked at Rainer with a smile on his face, and greeted him warmly.

His mentality at the moment is completely different from the last time the two sides met. The last time he lost the battle, he had to negotiate a peace with each other.

And this time, it was him who had the advantage.

Therefore, his heart will inevitably carry a little sense of superiority, but due to his excellent education, such a sense of superiority will naturally be transformed into an elegant resignation with a little arrogant greeting.

"Yeah, long time no see, the last time we met was more than a year ago, so you are still the same after that!"

"Perhaps, but people are not always the same, everyone is changing, just like you and me, when we met last time, we weren't the way we are now!"

Listening to Earl Lorance's remarks, Lena smiled and did not speak, and then said: "Everyone is indeed different, and the promises you have made can be completely discarded!"

"But I want to ask you, Lord Lorance, are you sure you intend to unite with the upstarts to destroy me? If I die, will you have any good fate?"

"Don't forget that the person who wanted to conquer you was not me, but the imperial capital. Now we and the imperial capital have torn our skins. We should be allies, but you have chosen to help the evildoer!"

"Think about what you will end up with when we are gone, will they leave you alone? Our today is your tomorrow!"

"And..." Rainer said with a smile: "And I think your combat effectiveness is not as good as ours. Can you resist their attack? I'm afraid this is an unknown number?"

Rainer tried his best to be emotional and persuade the other party with reason, because the current situation is too dangerous, so if he can, he will try not to fight.

Listening to what Leiner said, Count Lorens said without hesitation: "This does not require you to worry, dear Grand Duke Leiner, thank you very much for your concern, but we have our own solution!"

Lena gritted his teeth, licked his lips and said, "Well, since my worry is unnecessary, then I can only wish you good luck. Since the war cannot be stopped, then we can only separate. A winner!"

Rainer didn't say any more pleading words either. Firstly, his identity was here, after all, he was the Great Duke of the North.

And since he has already stated his interest, there is no need to go on, not only Earl Lorens will not change his mind, but also cause the other party to look down on himself.

"Okay, if you are captured by me, I will save you a life!" Count Lorans has already put on the face of a winner.

"Me too!" Rainer waved his hand casually, and ran towards his camp.

"How is it?" Earl Crick saw Rainer back and hurriedly leaned forward to ask, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from Rainer's mouth.

"Get ready to fight!" Rainer pursed his lips without explaining too much.

As soon as Rainer's voice fell, the whole army was ready in an instant.

One by one archers began to string their bows, and the crossbowmen were also in pairs to string each other's crossbows.

For crossbowmen, it is very difficult for them to wind up.

Although there is a pulley to assist the string pulling during combat, it only needs to be done manually, but it is quite difficult after winding. It is a weapon that is more powerful than a slashing crossbow. It is conceivable how difficult it is to wind the string.

The preparations have been done. The horses have eaten and drank enough in the past few days, consuming a lot of beans and eggs, which made their hair become shiny, and their already strong body became at this moment. More majestic.

Reiner’s formation is the same as before, with infantry fighting against the Chinese line, archers supporting the rear, vassals fighting the enemy on both wings, and cavalry cruising on the periphery, ready to launch surprise attacks on the enemy or support the headquarters. .

The advantage of this formation is that it is safe and not prone to accidents.

The disadvantage is that they rely too much on the fighting power of the Chinese army. Soldiers on the two wings must drag the enemy's flanks so that they cannot support the Chinese army, and then use the Chinese army to defeat the enemy's Chinese army to obtain a direct victory as a whole.

But once the battle of the Chinese army is deadlocked, the pressure on the two wings will become very heavy. If the deadlock continues, it is very likely that the sides will collapse.

However, Reiner thought that the strength of his army could not be contended by anyone, not to mention his cavalry was still cruising in the periphery, if the flanks could only support it.

If the Chinese army is deadlocked together, it can also raid the enemy's rear and flanks to oppress the enemy.

Reiner has always used this way of fighting. Anyway, so far, there has been no failure~lightnovelpub.net~Everyone is ready! The enemy is coming! "Liner yelled, and all the soldiers stood ready for an instant.

Four hundred and fifty Morand Sergeants stood at the forefront of the array, and in front of them were heavy infantry armed with large shields. Among them, headed by the Golden Lion Guard, formed a steel wall in front of the array.

They will be responsible for the security of the entire array. Although Sergeant Molande is strong and well-defended, they did not equip themselves with shields in pursuit of strength.

The heavy infantry at the forefront squatted down, erected their shields on the ground and stood in battle.

Archers and crossbowmen also raise their crossbows and are ready to shoot at any time. They are almost the safest arms under the protection of layers.

Behind them, there are ordinary soldiers with long spears. They are the backbone of the entire array.

The Earl of Varas led the Scarlet Griffon Knights and the vassals, as well as the knights under the various vassals, a total of more than 500 people, waiting at any time for Rainer's order to attack the weak parts of the enemy.
