Viscount Winston fled back to his castle overnight, and before he could catch his breath, William led his troops to the bottom of Winstonburg.

Viscount Winston stood above the castle, looked down, looked at the huge number of enemies, and couldn't help but slam on the battlements with a thud.

At this time, there were only more than 300 armed infantry and more than 80 town guards in his castle, while William below had nearly 4,000 soldiers who could participate in the siege.

The walls of Fort Winston are about four meters and less than five meters, and the facilities on them are quite complete, and there are all kinds of shooting holes and arrow towers.

Under the transportation of the soldiers, the stones were continuously lifted up the city wall as a tool to defend the city for a while.

William rode on his horse, without a helmet on his head, and his golden hair looked very flowing in the autumn wind.

Looking at the situation on the city wall, William's face was expressionless, although he was a little excited in his heart, he would never show great sorrow and joy in front of the people below.

The gap between the forces of the two sides is so big, William doesn't need to think about any plans such as outwitting, and he can attack it directly in one wave.

"Captain McCann, take your people, and the other mercenaries of the mercenary group, and go to attack once for me to test their strength!"

Now that he has made a promise, Commander Merlin is now equivalent to most of his own people, so he didn't be polite to him for you, and directly handed over the task of relatively large casualties to him.

"Yes, sir! I'll do it! ”

Captain Merlin said and glanced at the other mercenary captains, although he had already said that he would be loyal to William, but after all, not all mercenaries had to obey his command unconditionally, and it was necessary to consult them.

The other mercenary captains looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, they agreed to William's order, after all, it was just a test, and if the enemy's defense was too tight, then it would be justified for them to retreat.

That's why they agreed to William's order.

William didn't have a well by his side, so the siege was also a difficult thing to do, and William also knew that this group of mercenaries would definitely come back after a setback, so he rubbed them off to carry out the mission.

Now, William's order was for the soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees, after all, he had no shoelace parts when he went out.

Even his territory didn't have any processed parts for the well or even any siege equipment, so he could only make it at this time.

The soldiers were cutting down trees in full swing, and the mercenaries were gathering their ranks, carrying ladders with the ladders in the troops, and rushed to the bottom of Fort Winston.

Viscount Winston looked at the situation below from above the city walls and gave the order directly.

The soldiers on standby on the city wall also lifted the heads of the people piled up at their feet and threw them down the gap in the battlements.

Under the acceleration of gravity, the impact of the stone became terrifying, even a mercenary with a helmet could not bear it at all, and basically as long as it was hit, it was equivalent to a death sentence.

"Hurry, hurry! We try to climb the enemy's walls and we'll get the most loot! ”

Behind the ordinary mercenaries, the mercenary captains shouted loudly those demagogic nonsense, which did not speak William, even if the Manders infantry heard such words, they would probably laugh at their childishness.

But the mercenaries believed it, and their morale grew with these words.

The battle became more and more courageous, and even his comrades who were smashed to the ground from above during the siege turned a blind eye, and the only target was the city walls.

Unfortunately, the length of the ladder was not enough, and it did not reach the height of the battlements, so no matter how hard and desperate the mercenaries tried, they were never able to rush to the enemy's walls.

"Ugh!"

"Poof! Ahem! ”

"Ahhh Help me, please help me!! ”

The sound of being seriously injured by a stone can be seen everywhere, and when a serious injury is not immediately dead, desperate wails are also very common.

However, the most common thing here is still bright red blood all over the ground, and white brains are flowing everywhere, and it is easy to cause such consequences with stones! ”

Viscount Winston retreated to the main castle long before the battle began, and he was watching the battle outside the walls from a window in the main castle.

The archers in the tower are constantly shooting, and although most of their bows and arrows are hunting horns, they can still deal some damage to the mercenaries.

Viscount Winston was followed by three knights, and his son was in the room, and he didn't go to war after the previous battle, so he didn't understand why his father was defeated.

"This enemy is not very good, father, how can you be defeated by this kind of army?"

Viscount Winston's son is not very old, a year younger than William, so his thinking ability and values are different from William's group.

It stands to reason that impulsiveness and no one in sight are what should be manifested at this age, and William can only be said to be an outlier.

"Baron William's troops haven't moved yet, and when Baron William's own troops are dispatched, you'll know how terrible they are!"

Viscount Winston frowned, obviously he was in a terrible mood.

But yes, he knew that Winstonburg was the last line of defense for him and his family, and if even Winstonburg was captured by William, then no one in his entire family would survive.

He feels that he has not had as much sorrow as he has in the past few days, who can be calm about the choice between life and death? What's more, he has fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

In addition, there is no one who can mediate at this time, so now his heart is like being halfway on the stove, and it is very tormented.

William looked at the casualties of the mercenaries, and in just over ten minutes, many of the mercenaries died under the enemy's stone blows.

And that's it, still when the mercenaries didn't even touch the enemy's walls.

After a while, it seemed that if you want to capture Fort Winston with fewer casualties, you will have to wait until the well is made and the soldiers will be able to strike at it in many ways.

Thinking of this, William called the herald beside him: "Go and let Commander Merlin come back with his troops, let them cover alternately, and try to avoid follow-up casualties!" ”

William also has a reason to do this, after all, Captain Merlin will soon be his own person, let him maintain a certain combat effectiveness, not strong or weak.

Soon, the mercenaries, who had received William's orders, withdrew in some haphazard manner, and after leaving behind more than a hundred corpses, the mercenaries finally withdrew without even touching the city walls.

Anyway, William's logistics at this time were quite sufficient, and there was no food crisis within a month, so William asked the rest of the soldiers to cut down trees to build a camp, and then those soldiers were responsible for making wells.

As soon as the well is made, the Manders infantry and heavy cavalry will be able to reach the city wall without the need to go through ladders, and the Mandes archers will be able to stand on the well to take advantage of their range.
