Black Iron Crown

Chapter 627: Tirelessly

   September 4th, 32nd year of the Empire.

   It's raining and clearing.

   After raining all day and night, the dark clouds finally disappeared, and the sun reigned over the world like a king.

   The fog in the air still hasn't dissipated, and there is a strong smell of blood and rust everywhere. Most of the corpses of Karronborg's original defenders are not human-shaped, and they are stinking for a long time when they are discarded in the wild.

   The little emperor did not know that Karronborg had fallen, and still imagined that the steppe people were blocked by the border fortress Karronborg.

   However, the fortress is only a fortress after all. It is not the Great Wall. Even if it is the Great Wall, its greater effect is to shorten the supply line and delay the enemy's attack speed.

   What's more, Karronborg is just a castle, not even stuck in a more important position.

   This army gathered together, and the speed of marching was even slower, but the little emperor didn't care about this now. In his opinion, he only needed to let his army run over, and he could easily defeat the enemy.

   But soon, reality slapped the little emperor fiercely. He looked at the castle that no longer fluttered his flag, and his heart instantly became cold.

   Then this disappointment turned into anger. He pointed to the castle in front of him and roared loudly, intending to kill Khan Hamir.

   However, at this time, Khamir Khan had already ordered the coalition soldiers under his command to leave Karronborg.

  As nomads on the grassland, they are not proficient in defending the city. If they fight against the enemy on the wall, Hamir Khan is worried that they will be drawn into their rhythm by the opponent.

   Therefore, after he ordered the steppe warriors to evacuate Karronborg, he withdrew, leaving only less than a thousand people garrisoned here.

  Hamier Khan was unwilling to put his large forces in Karronborg in a tug-of-war with the little emperor, but he was also unwilling to return this success or failure to the little emperor.

  Because that would allow him to regain a safe rest base without worrying about other things.

  With such a base, many of Khan’s tricks cannot be used.

   For example, when he faced Emperor Caffet’s Eastern Expedition to sweep the grassland, he often used sneak attacks, harassment, and exhausting the enemy.

  With the protection of the city wall, all these tactics are ineffective. It is impossible for them to cross the tall city wall to attack the imperial army.

   What's more, how could he just return the castle that took such a huge price to attack. Although he didn't want to spend the main force on defending the city, he didn't want the imperial army to be protected by the wall.

Within 80 kilometers of Karronborg, there is no second castle at all. Even if the distance of 80 kilometers is exceeded, most of the castles are small fortresses, and even the garrison can only accommodate a thousand. It's just a person, it's not of much use at all.

  Hamier Khan has broken his army into parts at this time, divided into several parts to perform different tasks.

   Emperor Carter could not catch the main force of the Khamir Khan leading the army, so he could only set up camp under the city of Karenburg, hoping to retake this fortress and find a safe foothold.

   However, Hamir Khan didn't do what he wanted, and the team had already been arranged to deal with this matter.

   Just when Emperor Carter was standing at a distance of one kilometer from Karronborg and wanted to observe the conditions of the city wall, he suddenly found that there was chaos behind him, and the sound of Jin Ge and Iron Horse was heard.

   He frowned and immediately let his personal followers investigate the cause.

   "Your Majesty, they are the cavalry of the prairie people. They attacked our back line. The serf conscripts where they were hit have gone into chaos. Now they have been suppressed!"

   "How about the casualties of the enemy and us?" the little emperor asked slightly aggrieved in his heart.

   "We wounded and killed more than 500 serf conscripts, but more than half of them were caused by trampling in the chaos!

   "As for the casualties of the enemy..." The servant hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The enemy has no casualties!"

The little emperor frowned and wanted to have an attack, so he listened to this squire: "Your Majesty, everyone in that group of prairie people are riding horses, coming and going like the wind, they suddenly attacked us, and the serf soldiers have not been trained. It is normal to have such losses, we just need to be more vigilant!"

   As a person who serves the little emperor personally, the relationship is naturally extraordinary, so he dared to say such things to Carter.

   After hearing this, the little emperor nodded slightly, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He didn't know what he was angry because of. In short, he always didn't have a good mood during this period.

   But looking at the follower in front of him, Carter's irritation eased a little, he personally walked up and helped him up, and took his hand back to the big tent together.

   But the good times didn't last long. Just as the little emperor walked out of the big tent, he heard a little riot in the flanking camp.

   The Hu Cong in the big tent hurriedly ran out, simply tidied his clothes, and took care of the messy hair, and then ran towards the camp.

  Unexpectedly, the little emperor stopped him and said, "Don't go, go back and have a good rest, I will let others go!"

   Then, he pushed him back into the big tent without any explanation, and sent others to check the flanking camp.

   As expected, it was the prairie people who were attacking.

   Hundreds of them stormed the west camp that had just been set up, and caused more than 300 losses to the imperial army. The little emperor lost 800 people just one day after reaching the city of Karronborg.

   But fortunately, these 800 people are all serf conscripts, and the real elite are in the core part of the camp~lightnovelpub.net~ and not on the periphery.

   But speaking of it, if there are regular troops on the periphery, it really may not be able to cause such large casualties.

   In this way, the people on the prairie launched seven raids in one day. Whenever the little emperor and the people in the camp felt that the other party would not appear again, another raid came suddenly, making everyone tireless.

   The little emperor’s heart has accumulated more and more anger, but he has nowhere to vent, only sulking in his big tent.

   By the end of the night, the little emperor felt that he should be safe. He just wanted to recapture this Karronborg as soon as possible and regain a safe base.

   But at this moment, I suddenly heard faint shouts and killings from the periphery.

   The little emperor suddenly got up from the bed in the cradle, poked his head out and said annoyedly: "Order the knights to patrol around at night! Bring a part of the regular army with the serfs, I don’t believe that they can attack me!"

   Sure enough, in the subsequent sneak attacks, the imperial army's losses were much smaller, and it seemed that it was because they failed to succeed several times, making the opponent feel frustrated, and there was no next move for a long time.

   But when these knights were about to go to sleep, another rushing voice came in, and a large group of prairie people attacked the camp.
