Chapter 425: Deliberation on Annihilation

William had more than 1,000 light cavalry under his command, and together with the cavalry troops of Hurim, there were a full 1,500 light cavalry.

Among the many tasks that the light cavalry can accomplish, reconnaissance is a very proficient task, and they can easily report everything to William from twenty-five or even thirty kilometers away.

Now it was no exception, and William knew that he was in danger in the territory of the Norwids, so he sent the sentry scouts a full thirty-five kilometers, and each return required at least an hour and a half of wild running.

However, this was not without its benefits, William knew exactly what was going on around him, and even the five thousand Norvid soldiers stationed thirty kilometers away knew it clearly.

The Norweeds were helpless against the hussars whizzing back and forth outside their tents, they didn't have any cavalry, so they were helpless against the highly mobile light cavalry.

They could only be in the tent, jumping on their feet, shouting and cursing at the light cavalry outside, but there was nothing they could do.

The hussars, whistling, with their nomadic uninhibition and loud laughter, provoked outside the camp of the Norweeds.

Anyway, there are only 5,000 Norwids gathered here, and they have no fear, even if the Norwids launch a strong attack, the Denlenburg army will be able to annihilate them all.

William listened to the report of the light cavalry in the tent, he ** the beard on his lips, thinking carefully, to be honest, these five thousand Norweeds really did not pose much of a threat to him.

On the contrary, William's pressure on the Norwids was enormous, not to mention the strength of his direct army, the nearly 10,000 vassal army alone was very strong, so he was thinking about whether to eat these 5,000 Norwids.

Norwin and Urimu were in the tent, and they looked at William's appearance and knew that William was thinking about something.

William said, "The enemy is only 5,000 men, do you think we should eat them directly?" ”

William's problem was actually not so difficult to decide, mainly because it was a holy war at this time, and even if he took all the enemies in a few hundred, there was nothing to be gained.

After all, he was no longer a small aristocratic vassal, and even King Hechard was not capable of giving William a reward that would appeal to him.

What's more, there is a holy war going on now, and there is no one else here except William's Denlenburg infantry, even if they are eliminated, no one will see and spread this matter, after all, this kind of thing is only convincing if the demon sees it with his own eyes.

What's more, if you attack like this, your soldiers will definitely suffer damage, and if you don't get any benefits, it will be a loss.

And if you don't strike now, then the enemy will definitely have a steady stream of reinforcements coming here, and it will not be so easy to eat the enemy at that time.

And William is struggling with this question at this time, whether to send troops or not, if you send troops, it can effectively weaken the enemy, although the Holy War Army has an advantage at this time, but it is not a sure victory, and the strength of the Norweed people is also very strong.

Even the church is thinking about whether to mobilize troops to increase the odds of victory.

Of course, the form of jihad is still very good, and there is no need for this for the time being.

William thought about it for a while, if he can weaken the enemy a little now, he will have a better chance of winning the holy war, otherwise if the holy war army is defeated, William will definitely not be good.

Thinking of this, William also had some decisions in his heart, but he still planned to ask for the opinions of Norwen and Hurim.

"I think, of course, we have eaten them, our soldiers are so elite, we will not be afraid of any enemy, we can completely annihilate these 5,000 people!"

Although he is over thirty years old, the sharpness and momentum of his youth have not dissipated at all, but have become more and more sharp with age, but his confidence has become stronger.

And I have it in my own opinion, but he also has this opinion, he said: "Sending troops is indeed a good choice, but after we have eliminated the enemy, we can choose not to clean the battlefield, and let the other holy crusades come to see what we have done here!" ”

Norwen also saw William's struggles, he was almost forty years old, and he was very calm.

In this way, the opinions of the three people were unanimous, and the matter was decided in this way, but even so, William still had to discuss it with his vassals.

The Western feudal system is like this, the autonomy of the feudal lord all depends on the strength of the feudal monarch and the relationship with the vassals, if the strength of a feudal monarch is not strong, then the control of the vassals will be much weaker.

Even if they completely ignore the feudal monarch and start a war rashly because of the contradictions between each other, the authority of the feudal monarch will be weakened as a result, and this is how many private wars between nobles are triggered.

William gathered all the nobles under his command, including the vassals of his vassals, and he had two viscounts under him, which meant that there were seven or eight nobles of Denlenburg who were not his vassals.

William looked at the nobles below, the luxurious clothes on his body set off his majesty, and William said in a deep voice: "My dear vassals, I have a proposal, or rather a decision to announce it to you!" ”

"Thirty kilometers away, there are five thousand Norvid soldiers, and I want to annihilate them before their main force arrives, so as to make it easier for us to fight in the future!"

As he spoke, William was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "What is your opinion on this decision?" I'd like to hear what you guys mean! ”

After saying that, there was silence in the tent, and the nobles looked at each other, thinking about the pros and cons of the matter.

But in the end, they all understood that their opinions were not dominant, and it was their own powerful and powerful feudal monarch who made the final decision.

In this way, the nobles expressed their opinions: "We have no opinions, we unconditionally obey our feudal lord, we will always be the sword in your hand, and we will only fight for your goal!" ”

William nodded with satisfaction and said, "I understand your loyalty, my dear vassals, in this case, you should go back and prepare first, we will start in two hours!" ”

Time passed, and the strong organization and training of the Dellenburg army allowed them to react quickly, and in less than an hour, the Dellenburg army was quickly assembled.

The servants helped the knights to prepare weapons and equipment, and put the horses on the saddles and horse armor, so that the knights could fight at any time.

The other soldiers did not have this treatment, they had to wipe their own weapons and prepare their armor, but they still quickly completed the preparations and assembled according to the formation.
