Black Iron Crown

After Reiner's words, the soldiers began to cheer loudly. In this era, soldiers don't have the idea of ​​being loyal to their masters.

Becoming the army of the Moreland family is entirely because of their good physical fitness, they were selected by the Moreland family, and this profession is just a way for them to fill their stomachs.

Reiner has no doubts that if someone buys them with a lot of money, they will definitely abandon the original master and fall into the arms of the new master without hesitation.

This is understandable, under the constraints of the times, most armies and soldiers are like this.

Reiner also knew this very well, that's why he said what he just said.

The army of dozens of people does not seem to be large in scale, and Leiner is riding on the back of a group of tall horses, which are the horses that are included in the system novice gift package.

An iris lion flag with a red background was held in the hand of a knight, which indicated the identity of this army.

Along the way, occasionally groups of farmers were inspecting the farmland. When they saw the troops of the Moreland family going out, they immediately took off their felt hats respectfully.

Although they didn't know why the Lord Baron's army appeared here, this did not prevent them from being in awe of this army from the bottom of their hearts.

Reiner was walking on the road, he looked at the attendant behind him and felt that something was wrong, that figure was quite familiar to him.

"Wend?" Reiner's surprised and slightly angry voice sounded: "I think you should explain to me, why did you appear here? Among an army going on expedition?"

He got off his horse and came to Wende, looking at him sternly.

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Although there is no such saying in this world, Wende is quite in awe of his elder brother.

Looking into Reiner's eyes, Wende hastily and nervously explained: "Brother...Brother, I am already thirteen years old, and many soldiers are no match for me! I can definitely make great achievements on the battlefield! You...don't put I'll send it back!"

Looking at the stubborn younger brother in front of him, Reiner was quite helpless, but he also understood that every boy at this age would have similar thoughts, thinking that he had grown up and wanted to do something to prove himself.

He could only sigh and said: "I don't need to send you back, but you must stay by my side. You are still too young to fight the enemy!"

"Great! Thank you, brother!" Wende said happily. For him, being able to experience it on the battlefield once is already very good, and he doesn't expect too much.

The territory of the Moreland family was not large in Reiner's previous life, but it was not small for this army, which was mostly composed of infantry.

After walking for more than two hours, they still haven't reached the place where the viscount was taken away.

"Haven't arrived, my dear Sir? We are about to leave the territory of the Moreland family!" Reiner said to the knight who was in charge of guiding the way.

"Sir, we will arrive soon. The place where my master was captured is ahead. Maybe they have escaped somewhere, but I believe that you will wipe them all out, sir!"

Reiner could only nod his head, now he was ready to do so.

In this way, the team continued to move forward slowly.

Just when Reiner wondered why there was no sign of a battle, more than a dozen arrows suddenly shot out from the dense bushes.

A few screams came out, and four or five soldiers were injured in this shooting. Although they were all wearing armor, they also had parts that could not be protected.

Reiner reacted in an instant, grabbed Wende who was still in the chaos, dismounted to block him behind him, and then used a shield to protect his body.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!" Several knights reacted instantly,

Shouting straightly, he shouted to the soldiers at the same time.

A burst of arrows caused a short-term turmoil among the soldiers of the Moreland family, but they were worthy of being veterans of the Dark Ages, and quickly recovered from the turmoil, holding their shields tightly in front of them.

Together, several soldiers formed a defensive formation with each other, wary of the surroundings and shot arrows again.

Immediately afterwards, it was not the sound of arrows, but a group of disheveled militants, wearing animal skins or linen clothes, some of them even rushed towards the soldiers naked with mallets in their hands.

They looked like a lot of people, with dense faces, according to Reiner's estimate, there were more than a hundred people.

The scene suddenly became more chaotic. The soldiers clenched their spears and shields tightly, preparing for the next battle.

"Gather to me!" Leiner shouted loudly. Now the soldiers are not very close together, and they are likely to face the end of being defeated one by one by the enemy.

Therefore, he gave the order for this assembly.

The enemy quickly ran towards Leiner, and their archers also shot bows and arrows while running, providing cover for the robbers in front.

"Archers! Fight back!"

Reiner waved the long sword in his hand, and gave his second order under the cover of five blood-colored griffin knights.

At this time, the soldiers had almost completed the formation, and they clustered around Leiner to form a circular formation for external defense, while the archers drew their bowstrings inside the circular formation.

"Shoot!" Lena yelled loudly.

There was a sound of orderly piercing through the air, and the archers of the Moland family immediately poured out the arrows in their hands.

Unlike the robbers, the bows and arrows of the Moland family were all selected from the legal hunters in the territory, and after a period of training, their shooting ability far surpassed that of the opponent's wild way.

With this burst of shooting, the opponent immediately fell seven or eight people, and this was because the enemy was moving at a high speed and the formation was sparse.

Otherwise, at least ten people can be used in this round of shooting.

"The soldiers stand firm, temporarily led by Captain Baraf! The knights gather!"

Reiner yelled again, and then all the knights gathered behind him, eleven Morland family knights, and five Scarlet Griffon knights.

At this time, Leiner also suddenly discovered that the knight who had not guided him before disappeared at some point.

It was only then that Reiner realized that he had been deceived by the other party and fell into a trap.

But up to now, the army of the Moreland family has not fallen into a disadvantage.

The tactic of ambush is based on being prepared to fight or not. However, because the Merland family's territory is not large, the troops did not put weapons and armor on the carriage to reduce the burden at all when marching.

Therefore, it can be said that the Moland family's army was fully prepared, but the opponent missed a best opportunity and did not rush out immediately after shooting, which gave the troops time to react.

This can be said to be an encounter rather than an ambush.

Five blood-colored griffin knights followed Reiner, followed by eleven knights of the Merland family. The horse under Reiner's crotch seemed to sense the mood of its master, and it snorted and started kicking its hooves at any time. Get ready to rush out and crush your enemies to the bone.

"For the Moreland family! Charge!" Reiner shouted, the full-coverage helmet on his head made his voice very dull, but he expressed his determination.

In the past few days, he has been training according to the memory of the original owner of this sentence. He doesn't know whether he can exert his full strength, but as a man who is also bloody, how can he be afraid in this situation? cringe.

In this way, the war horse started to trot, raised the three-meter-long lance, gradually tried to let go of the rein with his left hand, put the shield on his chest, and made a standard charging posture.

"For the Merland family!" The knights behind Reiner also shouted, and as the horse's speed increased, the sound of the horse's hooves became more and more urgent.

The sound of horseshoes resounded throughout the battlefield. These seemingly brave robbers finally thought of being slaughtered by the knights at this moment. In just a moment, their morale collapsed.

At this time, Reiner had not yet led the knights to kill a robber.

"Damn it! You cowards! Cowardly groundhogs! I'll take out the guts of anyone who tries to escape!"

A bandit in armor hacked back and killed a fleeing bandit minion, shouting angrily.
