Black Iron Crown

Chapter 524: Siege

The ballista’s stone shells kept flying towards the city’s head, but unfortunately, apart from the first shot that broke a few battlements, the subsequent rounds of shooting only hit the heavy city wall, or passed over. The wall broke into the castle.

Although the power of the ballista is huge, its accuracy is almost the same as that of a catapult. It smashed into the city wall and caused some cracks in the city wall. Other than that, it did nothing.

King Sartley's face twitched slightly, and he had just boasted down to the sea, and suddenly there was an accident, which was completely hitting his face.

Seeing King Sartley's face, Count Redmara secretly smiled in his heart, but King Sutter was ashamed, but he was very happy.

The repeated misses of the ballistas made King Satri's complexion even more ugly. After all, there were only five ballistas. If there were more ballistas, the enemy would be fired intensively, and the results would be better.

The faces of the vassals of the Bukerdern Kingdom were also a little bit awkward. The ballista they regarded as the killer's weapon dropped its chain at a critical moment, something that no one had expected.

But this is also normal, after all, the time for the ballista to be introduced into the Kingdom of Bukerdern hasn't been long, it's only three years.

What's more, although the lords of the Kingdom of Bookeden occasionally have private wars, most of them are because of certain interests. If there is a war for territories, King Satri himself will intervene in mediation.

What's more, three years is not enough to popularize the technology of the ballista. Therefore, this weapon was only tested for several times when it was built, and it has not passed the test of real war at all.

An accident happened, and that was what was expected.

The defenders on the city wall saw that the huge weird weapon below had lost its power, and gradually recovered from the panic.

"Warriors! The **** Redkas are just powerful machines! In any case, they can't change the fact that they are weak! Think about our happiness some time ago! They are just a bunch of cowardly lambs! As long as they dare to fight us head-on, Then death will be their only ending!"

One of the commanders of the wall defenders shouted loudly, encouraging the morale of his soldiers.

The morale of the defenders on the wall gradually picked up.

Yes, the cowardly Redka people are cowardly sheep, but they use powerful equipment. When they really fight, they will definitely be killed by their brave self.

The Redka people in their mouth are the narrow Redka concept, which refers to the people of the Redka Empire, not the Redka nation in a broad sense.

Just like the German nation and the German Empire in Reiner's previous life, they are two different concepts.

In fact, the Chokes from the Kingdom of Bazaran are also a member of the Redka.

"Damn it!" King Sartli threw his whip on the ground with a gaffe, and roared: "Jing Lan! Let Jing Lan rush up! Take the city wall down for me!"

After all, King Satri was the king of a country. Although he did not verbalize the constitution like the emperor of the previous celestial dynasty, almost no one dared to violate his orders.

In this way, the thirty well fences slowly advanced under the impetus of the internal soldiers.

The archers at the top waited until Jinglan was in place. At a distance of ninety meters from the city wall, some of them started shooting arrows.

The climate in the south is humid and the wood for the arms is difficult to dry in the shade, so in the past most of the time only some soft bows were used.

However, because they have discovered distant heretical nations through voyages in the past 100 years, they bought a lot of strong bow crossbows from where.

Even the steel that was not wealthy was imported in large quantities from pagan countries, which greatly eased the gap.

This also allowed the army of the Kingdom of Buckden to be equipped with a large amount of iron armor. Basically, every soldier can wear an iron armor. In addition, their warriors can even have double-layer iron armor, and their survivability is quite strong.

Seeing the tall well lan slowly approaching, the archers on the arrow tower in the castle hurriedly started shooting at the enemy.

But unfortunately, although the arrow tower is much higher than the city wall, it can only return to the height of the well. Therefore, the archers of both sides are shooting at each other completely, and no one has the advantage.

The soldiers under King Satri followed the well to the enemy's walls, as did the imperial army.

They were wearing iron armor and holding halberds, and several people marched towards the enemy's city wall in a melee formation.

Although the imperial army lacked steel, it had lost so much force before. All the armor on the corpse was taken off, and after a lot of repairs, it was allocated to the remaining imperial army.

Therefore, they have achieved one iron armor, and even the two hundred heavy cavalry and two hundred knights brought by the Earl of Redmara can achieve double armor.

It has to be said that although the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, their combat experience and courage have been tempered by the cruel war.

After this group of northerners fought like tigers and wolves, no enemy could make them feel fear.

This point is completely different from the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern.

Although the Bukerdern Kingdom is rich and equipped its soldiers with excellent equipment, after all, many of them have not even seen blood.

Even if there are a lot of mercenaries in it, these mercenaries are obviously not willing to throw their heads and blood in the fight, and they do not possess the excellent professional ethics of Swiss mercenaries.

The creaking sound came into everyone's ears, and with a "bang", the long wooden planks hanging from Jinglan slapped heavily on the wall of Fort Rolle.

"Rush up! Take back the castle!" The imperial army officer shouted to the soldiers, and then the first one rushed onto the plank of the well.

The archer on the arrow tower was shooting at Jing Ran, and couldn't take care of the enemy on the siege board at all.

What's more, the bows and arrows in their hands can hardly cause too much damage to these armored enemies, and it is better to suppress the enemy's archers first.

The imperial army took the lead in hitting the city wall, and more than a hundred knights armed with swords and shields or mace hammers ~lightnovelpub.net~ began to fight the enemy.

Although the knights were wearing double-layered iron armor, their movements were neither slow nor clumsy. Instead, they moved left and right to knock the enemy off guard.

The soldiers of the Bazaran Kingdom were surprised by the enemy's combat effectiveness, but after a while they resolved their doubts.

Because the army of the Kingdom of Buckden also boarded the wall at this time.

Although they have been trained all year round and well equipped, they are not veterans who have walked down the battlefield of blood and fire. Their courage and fighting skills at critical moments are inferior, and they are not at all an opponent of the army of the Kingdom of Bazaran.

Although the Kingdom of Bazaran can only make 70% of its soldiers armored, they are very brave and good at fighting. The lack of materials has cultivated their fierce and unyielding character.

Even if they were pierced through their bodies, they would endure the severe pain and send their swords into the enemy's chest.

After seeing the fighting power of the Kingdom of Bukden, the time of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bazaran has increased, and at the same time they have despised the coalition even more.
