Black Iron Crown

Chapter 619: The suffering of war

   Just after these soldiers moved their families to the fortress, the flames spread to several nearby fortresses.

   Thick black smoke rushed into the sky above the fortress, and the rest of the fortresses all lit the same beacon after seeing such a warning.

   After more than ten years, these military fortresses, which have not been effective for a long time, have once again fulfilled their mission.

   Some farther market towns and villages, upon seeing the black smoke, immediately began to transfer residents and property.

   The residents dragged their families with their few possessions and fled to the nearest castle.

  Karronborg is a fortress facing the eastern grassland. When it was built, the specifications were very high and it was built in accordance with the top fortresses.

The country here at the beginning often needed to guard against the invasion of the eastern steppe people, so it has a good foundation. In addition, after the unification of the old emperor, in order to sweep the grassland, once and for all, the mortal flies were solved once and for all, and the castle was expanded again. As a fortress.

   is used to protect nearby residents, while shortening the supply line for sending troops to facilitate the movement of various materials.

   Now, most of the residents living in the adjacent eastern grasslands have gathered in Karronborg.

   However, there are not many people living in the east. Before the Redka Empire was not unified, the population here was often harassed by the steppe tribes.

   Although the problem of the grassland was successfully solved after the unification of the empire, it was still sparsely populated because of the war.

   At this time, more than three thousand people have gathered in Karronborg. This is already everyone within a radius of 30 kilometers. They have brought their belongings into the fortress.

   Hassan stood on the top of the border fortress, poking out half of his head along the battlements obscenely, carefully observing the situation below.

   I saw a black crowd under the fortress. The soldiers on the grassland led their own war horses and marched slowly.

   They crossed the border on horseback, and after confirming that there was no large-scale army assembly, they got off their horses and walked.

   If the grassland people want to survive, a good horse is indispensable. These war horses can be ridden under the crotch by these young men, and naturally they also have good quality.

   Although it is not as good as the trained and bred, carefully selected horses of the Redka knights, they still have good endurance and speed.

   These warriors from the prairie didn't pay attention to the towering fortress with black smoke on top.

  Although this fortress is very tall, its area is only a dozen square meters. These soldiers can tell at a glance that there are not many people inside, not to mention the fact that the hundred masters are so long.

   The Yan Baizhu who is in charge of the soldiers in the steppe doesn't care about the existence of these fortresses at all. They don't think the soldiers inside can have any influence on them.

  If the Redkas are fighting, then even those who don’t understand military will understand that they can’t advance without pulling out such nails.

  If these fortresses are not conquered, then these nails will continue to harass themselves like tarsus maggots.

   What's more, just to open up the food passage, you must also ensure that your rear is absolutely safe and unmanned.

   Even if the army is small and there is no so-called food road to protect, you must ensure your safety behind you, otherwise it would be a desperate situation to flick back and forth.

   But for the prairie people, they don't care about this.

   First, they are huge in number, and a mere one to two hundred soldiers can't have much influence on them.

  Second, they usually don't have any food channels. After they bring some portable food and cattle and sheep to the battlefield, all their supplies come from the enemy, and the looted materials are enough for them to support the war.

   This is a tactic used by the prairie people in the past. They do not build cities on the prairie at home, mountains and seas, so they are not very clear about the role of these fortresses. In fact, these fortresses do not have much need for existence other than warnings.

At this time, the prairie people under the fort spotted Hassan who was spying on the top. Several of them took a half-person-high bow and arrow from the horseback, and pulled a full moon with ease, and several of them were watching. Shot on the wall of the fortress, Hassan hurriedly retracted his head in fright.

  The stature of these steppe warriors is slightly shorter than that of the Redka, because they are not tall and strong due to nutritional factors.

This is basically something that every nomadic people has to face, including those tribes on the Mongolian plateau in the previous life of Lena. Get rid of the old sheep.

  The people of the Karaites, as a farming nation, coupled with the development of hunting, their eating habits are similar to those of nomads except for their staple food, and they will also eat meat and milk if possible, so they appear taller.

   Of course, it is only limited to self-farming farmers and squires with affluent family backgrounds, as well as residents of the north. The serf class is not even as good as the herders on the grasslands.

   Hasan was so scared by the arrow that he almost peeed his pants, while the prairie warriors under the fortress laughed and put away their short bows and moved on.

   The legs of these people are slightly deformed. This is caused by horse riding. Their bows are not very powerful, they are just ordinary household bows.

   Riding and shooting on this grassland is an absolutely difficult skill, only a few people can master it, and the range is only a mere ten meters.

Hamir Khan rides on the back of a tall war horse. Next to him is the Danba Khan of the Trik Division. In addition to the Danba Khan, there are Nayan of several large tribes on both sides, as well as small tribes. The independence of Nayan.

After more than a month and nearly two months of marching, the food they carried with the army has been consumed very much~lightnovelpub.net~ Therefore, the people of the Arshan Ministry asked the Khamir Khan to disperse. Replenish munitions.

  Supplementary military supplies, naturally, it goes without saying, very nomadic style.

  Hamier Khan is good-natured. He is a native of the prairie and has no objection to this.

   Therefore, one by one Nayan took their tribe's fighters and dispersed, plundering war materials.

   However, the land near the grassland is not very populated, and many people have to go to the Karon Fortress, so it seems sparsely populated.

   However, after all, there were still some people who had not had time to retreat to Karronborg. They happened to be hit by soldiers on the prairie on the road.

   A group of about 20 prairie cavalry roared and appeared more than 30 kilometers east of Karronborg.

   Here, there is a crowd like a long dragon. They drag their homes, bring their property and livestock, and walk slowly on the winding and rugged road leading to Karronborg.

  Because of too much burden, their speed of action was seriously slowed down.

   This prairie cavalry, like a group of dark clouds, appeared in front of this group of people like the wind, like a sharp knife that burned red, and instantly cut off the long dragon.
