In the ornate town hall, William tapped his fingers on the table, his face looking confident.

"Yes, my lord, I do have a solution!"

As he spoke, William laid out the plan he had in mind.

"This ......"

The Count hesitated slightly, pondering the feasibility of the plan.

Viscount Raul was also thoughtful after listening to William's plan, showing a thoughtful expression.

For a moment, there was a sudden silence in the town hall, and the nobles were weighing the feasibility of William's plan.

It was not enough for the Count alone to agree, and it was impossible for other nobles to pin all their forces on a single plan because of a plan.

Only when they feel that the plan is feasible can the plan be carried out.

"What do you think? I think it's a good plan, and there are also such fortresses that Baron William spoke of, and there are several small estates around Laughlinburg! ”

The Count asked, looking at the other brooding nobles.

"Hmm...... I think it's better to stick to the castle, after all, we're not familiar with this tactic! ”

"I agree with William's approach, so that we can get a lot of loot and wealth, and at the same time destroy more enemies!"

"I also think Baron William's method is good, if we hold the castle for twenty days, it may be a little difficult, after all, we don't know how many troops the enemy will send to besiege us!"

"Then let's just raise our hands and vote, if there are many people who agree with Baron William, then we will carry out his plan, if there are few, then we will hold the castle!"

Although the earl has decision-making power, he still respects his vassals, after all, the autonomy of vassals is not small, not to mention that he is not particularly confident in William's plan.

"Agree with Baron William's plan, please raise your hand!"

Some of the nobles who supported William raised their right hands, including Baron Bair, who also agreed with William's plan.

Of the twenty-three nobles in Denlenburg, thirteen raised their hands in agreement with William's plan, while the remaining ten disagreed with William's plan.

But now that the vote has been completed, the plan for the implementation of William has been decided.

"Very well, since this is the result, then I hope that you can do your best to complete your mission, and do not lose the battle because of the opposition in your heart!"

As he spoke, the Count turned his gaze to the map of Laughlinburg hanging in the town hall, and began to assign tasks to the nobles.

First of all, the fortress needed for this plan could be used as a small manor around it, so the earl's first order was to let the nobles split up and exterminate the small nobles in those small manors.

Seven manors were scattered around Laughlinburg, and they had only passed one manor when they came, so the others survived.

But now they were not that lucky, and they were easily wiped out by the powerful nobles of Denlenburg, and the seven estates under their control became the best barrier in Laughlinburg.

Each of the seven manors was garrisoned by thirty soldiers, which would last four or five hours in the face of an enemy attack, and would be supported by knights.

What's more, as long as the support is over for a day, the soldiers inside can completely accept rotation and station other soldiers inside, which can not only train the soldiers, but also allow the wounded soldiers to recuperate.

The manor has been cleared and garrisoned, but there are a few things that need to be taken care of beyond that.

Laughlinburg's villages are quite populous, and in order to prevent the enemy from getting supplies from the villages, they need to carry out some necessary cleanups.

Of course, the population of Laughlinburg as a whole is only slightly smaller than that of Denlenburg, with a population of almost 100,000 and more than 300 villages.

It would be unrealistic to plunder them all, even if it would take five or six days for the enemy to arrive.

However, after sending out all the soldiers, the speed of plundering was relatively fast, and more than 60 villages were plundered in five days.

Most of the things in the village were transferred to the castle, and some of them could be used as tools to defend the city, such as lamp oil and cooking oil for the villagers.

But other things, such as grain, pottery, all kinds of small objects, linen velvet, and semi-finished chain mail woven by peasant women's families, are very numerous and varied.

At this time, in the capital of the Kingdom of Ribourne, in the city of Yaruk, their king Bansel was furious in the palatial royal palace.

"What do you say? Laughlinburg was captured by the enemy? So what do you eat for your intelligence? I didn't even notice it when I was attacked by the enemy! Now you're telling me that Laughlinburg has been captured! ”

The guards and servants were silent at the door, not daring to make the slightest noise, for fear of attracting the king's attention and becoming the king's punching bag.

And the intelligence leader didn't dare to speak up at this time, kneeling on one knee with a humble expression.

"Damn it!" Bansel looked at him and said angrily, "Then have you figured out the number of enemies!" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, according to intelligence, the number of enemies is only more than 2,000 people, but they are all elite armed infantry, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!"

"Yes!" King Bansel's eyes narrowed.

"Go and send a message to the Church, that is, Laughlinburg has been captured by the enemy, and I hope that the Church will also send some Papal Guards to fight with us!"

"Humph, church! Someday I'll get everything back! King Bansel stepped into his chair and whispered resentfully.

On the other side, in the royal palace of the city of Blijek, the capital of the Kingdom of Tskma, a dusty messenger stood in front of King Brolin.

"Very well, the Count of Loire has already set off, and now we have to send troops to help!" King Brolin handed the parchment to Queen Daleen, who was beside him, and said.

"Go down and rest first, tomorrow you will set off with the troops to support the Count of Loire."

After saying that, after waiting for the messenger to go down, King Brolin said happily to Queen Dareen: "We must send troops at once, I think General Yousen is a good candidate to lead the army!" ”

"That's right, General Yousen has been commanding battles since your father's time, he has won many battles, and he is an experienced general!"

"So, I'm going to let him lead three hundred royal knights, four thousand armed infantry, and fifteen hundred archers to reinforce the Count of Loire!"

This number of troops is already the majority of the royal family's army, after all, armed infantry is different from light infantry, which is armed and trained by the royal family at the expense of the royal family.

Being able to have 5,000 armed infantry is already quite a strength, after all, there are only 2,000 armed infantry in the entire Denglenburg, and this is still counting William's troops.

And the royal family alone has 5,000 armed infantry, and counting the nobles who support him, the entire kingdom can even mobilize 10,000 armed infantry.

There are also a lot of royal knights, more than 600 people, and they are all knights with a part of the royal family's subsidies, full chain mail leather armor and cotton armor, and war horses are also dressed in light chain mail.

The equipment of William's knights is also imitated by these royal knights, but in the horse armor of the war horse and the chain mail worn by the knights, William's knights do have some advantages.
