Chapter 191: Ordering Multiple Doors
At this time, in the camp of King Ribourne, General Dampier was furious, shouting and scolding loudly. γ,10,000 rollsγ
"Go get that damn Bishop Cole for me!" As he spoke, he was still puzzled, and said, "Immediately! Right away! β
After blasting away the heralds, General Dampier sat down on the blanket in front of the table in a huff.
For the sudden retreat during the day, of course, it was not at the hands of the scheming General Dampier, but Bishop Kohl ordered the knights and nobles loyal to the Church to retreat.
A moment later, Bishop Cole, dressed in a red robe and decorated with gold thread, opened the curtain of the tent and entered the tent.
"What's the matter, General Dampier? You know, as the Regional Bishop of the Kingdom of Ribourne, I'm very busy, and I hope you can have a legitimate reason to come to me! β
Bishop Cole looked up, almost nostrils, and said with a proud expression.
General Dampier held back the anger in his heart, suppressed the urge to start beating people, and said: "Tell me, dear bishop, why are we retreating today when we are about to succeed?" β
"You know, our soldiers have already stormed the walls, and as long as we can continue the attack, then we will be able to successfully conquer the enemy's outer walls before night!"
The more General Dampier spoke, the more agitated he became, and finally he began to shout: "It's because of your orders!" Causing us to waste all our efforts! Our soldiers have paid so heavy losses, because of your orders, we fell short! β
"General Dampier!" Bishop Cole shouted and said sternly, "Who do you think you're talking to?" How dare you speak to me that I am not your subordinate, but a bishop of the region personally appointed by His Majesty the Pope, a servant who exercises the rights of the Holy Father in the Kingdom of Riborne? β
Bishop Cole usually has a respected position in the Kingdom of Riborn, how could he have received such treatment, if it weren't for his other purpose this time, he would not have gone out with the army to suffer this kind of hardship.
"You!" General Dampier wanted to say something, but he swallowed back what he wanted to say, after all, the church in the kingdom of Ribonne was too powerful, and even he didn't dare to offend the church.
I could only hold back the following words, calm down a little, and said: "I'm sorry, respect Bishop Cole, I'm just a little excited about the defeat of the battle, but I hope you don't interfere with my command in the future, after all, I am the commander of this war." β
When he said this, General Dampier was very aggrieved, as a general who commanded the army, he was ridden by a monk on the top of his neck, if it was in another country, such as the Kingdom of Tskema, this would be absolutely impossible.
It's just that the situation of the Kingdom of Ribone is special, the power of the church here is too large, and even the other surrounding kingdoms also have a lot of church power.
It's just not as serious as the kingdom of Riborn, so the authority of the church is quite terrible.
Fortunately, as a close minister of the king, he knew the intentions of King Bansel, and as a powerful monarch, King Bansel believed that the ecclesiastical power in the kingdom of Ribonne would soon be wiped out.
Although he could not see that day anymore, his sons and grandsons all held positions at the king's side, and their family was a diehard loyalist of the king.
"That depends!"
Bishop Cole said proudly: "After all, those nobles are believers who serve the Holy Father, and we, as servants of the Holy Father, of course, must ensure their interests, what if their soldiers consume too much on the battlefield?" β
General Dampier was angry again, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but with a reluctant smile on his face, he continued to persuade.
However, in the end, General Dampier still failed to convince Bishop Cole, and the two broke up unhappily.
The nobles loyal to the church followed Bishop Cole, and the nobles loyal to the royal family listened to General Dampier.
In short, it was a mess, and even from time to time there were fights, although there were no casualties, but the morale and morale had been dispersed.
"The enemy is attacking again?" William, who was chatting with him in the room, heard the sentry's report, and asked with some curiosity.
The enemy had not attacked in the last few days, and seeing the riots in their camp in the second phase, William knew that something was wrong with the enemy.
Of course, he was happy after knowing that something had happened to the enemy, and it would be easier to defend the castle that way, so he had been in a good mood for the past few days.
However, the sentry's report just now made him wonder in his heart: "Could it be that the enemy's riot is over?" β
Walking up the city wall, William put on his helmet, held on to the battlements and began to look down.
More than 3,000 armed infantry, as well as more than 3,000 light infantry, appeared under the castle in this way, and the walls they chose were not William's responsibility.
Rather, it was the city walls that several other nobles were responsible for, because William's city wall had too many archers to defend and the infantry was so strong, they wisely did not choose William's wall as a target.
However, as an enthusiastic nobleman, William of course chose to help, and after arranging the city wall he was responsible for, he led his soldiers to the city wall that the enemy was going to attack.
Soon, the enemy began to attack the city, first of all, the light infantry was consumed in a step-by-step manner, although the hot oil and dung water were not used on them, but after climbing the city wall, they faced a brutal blow from the Manders infantry.
At the cost of more than 2,000 men, the light infantry began to disperse, followed by armed infantry in the rear.
They were responsible for stopping the light infantry from breaking up, and once the light infantry had been depleted, they were to take over the task of storming the walls.
Soon, the enemy's light infantry was almost depleted, and the armed infantry came to the front line of the battle as it should.
Needless to say, dung, fuel, and stones were constantly pouring downward, causing considerable casualties to the enemy.
Before the enemy even touched the walls, they began to fall into confusion, and some of the slightly clever armed infantry simply stopped charging and began to shout: "This is a conspiracy of General Dampier, he intends to consume our soldiers who are loyal to the nobility of the Church, this is murder!" β
As soon as the word spread among the soldiers, the armed infantry of the nobles who were loyal to the church repeated the words and dragged the other soldiers back.
A complete rout began, and in two days, these people did not think about fighting.
William looked at the situation below, and couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face, in this state, the enemy still wants to capture Laughlinburg?
Don't even think about it, Laughlinburg was in danger, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen among the enemy.
In this way, it will not be difficult to hold Laughlinburg, after all, it is the internal contradictions of the enemy.
