Black Iron Crown
Chapter 236 Chen Bing confrontation
Kerim carefully wiped his armor with a rag, as gentle as he would treat his new wife. He knew that this was his best and most reliable partner on the battlefield.
Afterwards, he took out a set of half-body leather armor from the cabinet next to the army bed and put it on on his body. This is an ancestral armor from his family. He has had this set of leather armor since his grandparents.
The overall appearance of the leather armor looks a bit worn out, and there are many traces of repairs, which just shows that this leather armor followed his grandfather. His father fought for many years, and it is the best witness of his family's wars.
Putting on this leather armor, Kerim felt inexplicably at ease, as if his grandfather and father were with him.
He took out the long sword from under the bed, and he wore it on his waist. Although they trained more on using long spears on weekdays, they also trained in swordsmanship. At least they were better than most soldiers in the use of long swords.
"Why are you still wearing the leather armor? Could it be that you are scared?" One of Kerim's comrades looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
"Your mouth still stinks like that! What have I to be afraid of? The earl gave me such a good treatment, such a high salary, I should give my life for him on the battlefield!" Speaking of this, Kerim paused , stroking the hilt of the long sword at his waist, raised his head and said, "What's more, the Earl promised to take care of my family!"
"It's nothing to be afraid of. He paid a high salary to serve the Earl, and his family will be well protected after his death!" Kerim looked at the comrade-in-arms, stretched out his fist, and said with a smile: "Fearless! Isn't it?"
"Of course! Fearless!" The comrade-in-arms stood up with a smile, put away his previous teasing thoughts, and also stretched out his fist to bump into Kerim. After smiling at each other, he took out his long sword and began to strike on the whetstone Grind it up.
On the other side, the lord's army is hastily eating and lying in the barracks like salted fish, either gambling or fighting, and they will not get up without an order to assemble.
Although they are all regular soldiers, their salaries are not very high, so their enthusiasm is only slightly higher than the average level.
The sergeants finished their meal very early and maintained their equipment. The swords and spears had been loaded into the carriage, and they all went for a warm-up run around the barracks.
As for the Scarlet Griffin Knights, they have their own rooms in the castle, at least for a short period of time they will not leave Fort Moreland.
Their equipment is also maintained by themselves. The red steel plate armor on the chest is polished and shiny, and the plate armor on the limbs is also neatly placed on the shelf.
The lower layer of chain armor is brushed with tung oil to prevent rust.
Sir Valas walked out of his room, and several other Scarlet Griffin Knights followed his steps out of the castle. There is a layer of chain armor, and the protection measures are in place.
So far, at nine o'clock in the morning on February 15th, 23rd year of the empire, Leiner officially issued the order to send troops in the castle.
300 Merland sergeants, 240 regular army soldiers, 50 Winter crossbowmen and 20 archers, in addition to 120 conscripted farmers who responded to the call, this is infantry strength.
As for the cavalry, there were ten Scarlet Griffon Knights, forty Scarlet Griffin Retinues, twenty Takeda Chibei, and twenty-two fief knights. There were only fifteen senior cavalry archers, and the rest Fifteen people are still ahead to monitor the movements of the Klade people.
These troops add up to a total of 852 people, and this is not counting the retinues brought by the knights.
In addition to the troops directly under Leiner, there were 120 knights brought by 15 vassals, 300 armed retinues, and 480 regular troops, a total of 800 people.
This is still under the situation that Leiner asked the vassals not to recruit farmers and sign soldiers. Leiner has a force of 1,653 people. There is no possibility of defeat for the Germans.
An army of such a large scale was packed into the open space in the center of the castle. All the lords were followed by their army, and in the most central position was Leiner's army.
The flag of the lion with the iris crown on the red background, representing Reiner, rattled along with the cold wind, and the lion with the golden crown stuck out its tongue against the scarlet background, baring its fangs and claws ferociously under the strong wind.
The flags of the other vassals were also fluttering in the wind. The flags of the vassals could be described as colorful, and the entire open space looked colorful, giving it the feeling of a motley crew.
But Reiner himself knows that compared with the real elite, his group of vassals may not be comparable, but if the opponent is the group of Kladers who are short in stature and have no military discipline, they can still be crushed of.
For the current situation, Leiner still can't say that he has any lofty ambitions. He absolutely has no possibility of defeat. Although the number of enemies is large, he can completely defeat the battle.
As long as they suffer more than one-tenth of the casualties, they will probably be defeated...
Lena nodded slightly, and gave the order to go out. The cavalry and archers in front were still reporting the enemy's movements and positions every half an hour.
So all of this is still under Lena's grasp for the time being.
In this way, more than a thousand soldiers marched to the north under the leadership of Leiner and the vassals. It is worth mentioning that the cold-resistant physique obtained by Leiner's lottery can also be used by the vassals. In the army, the marching speed of the team became very fast for a while.
Two hours later, Leiner had led the army to the border, but the Klades did not appear here.
Leiner immediately ordered the army to set up camp. He had already learned everything about the opponent through the cavalry and archers in front. They were marching extremely slowly due to hunger and laziness, and they were still marching five kilometers away.
An hour later, the army under Leiner's command had even set up their camps, but the enemy's figure still did not appear in front of everyone.
Another two hours passed, and it was already noon. The soldiers even finished their lunch, and the Clades finally appeared in front of the camp.
"This... this is... this is too much..." The vassals under Leiner's command exclaimed in unison after seeing the Klad people covering the sky like dark clouds.
At the beginning, Earl Zhebo did not gather such a huge army, only 6,000 people, but even that number was an astronomical figure in their eyes, not to mention the 8,000 people who appeared in front of them.
"Don't panic, we just need to knock down their morale, and they will be defeated on a large scale. Believe me, my vassals, I will always lead you to victory!"
Leiner and a group of vassals stood on a temporary high platform, looking at the densely packed enemies below, he said confidently.
