William still felt that it was a pity that these nobles died or were exiled, and in this case they did not give up their allegiance to himself, which undoubtedly made William happy.

So William decided to give them some compensation, if they didn't die, or if they had direct descendants, then William would give them very generous compensation.

After all, they did not betray themselves until their deaths, and William needed them as a model to encourage other nobles, and as long as they did not betray themselves in times of crisis, they would be rewarded very much.

William wanted a stable state, so there were factions and other factions.

William was in Denlenburg, and Norwin led his army to the enemy's first line of defense, which was of little use.

Defensive lines are usually designed to defend against enemy attacks, trading time for space and resources, but this method is not practical for today's noble rebels.

First, they do not have enough resources to mobilize from behind, and secondly, they have already plundered everything and have no basis for ruling in the local area.

Their main aim was to defeat William's main force, and then gain a respite or compromise with William.

But it's all based on the fact that they have annihilated William's main force, and if the two sides are evenly matched, they even occupy some disadvantages.

This line of defense is useful, and if they rely on this line to block the counterinsurgency army, they can also send a part of their troops to copy the back route of the counterinsurgency army.

This will definitely make the counterinsurgency army encounter certain difficulties, but their strength is too far behind, even if you count the serf conscripts, there are less than 20,000 troops.

In front of a counterinsurgency army with 30,000 regular troops, it is really not enough.

If they divide their forces, they will soon be wiped out by the counterinsurgency army's onslaught of casualties, so it is of little use for them to build a defensive line.

But there seems to be talent among them, after all, there is an earl among these old nobles, and he has a little knowledge of large-scale warfare.

As a result, his line was in front of a medium-sized fortress, and if the line was unable to hold off the counterinsurgency forces, they could immediately retreat to the castle.

In fact, this earl wanted to defend the castle from the beginning, although he was not strong in politics and war, but as an earl he still had an average level.

He knew that sending such a large number of troops would inevitably arouse the covetousness of other countries.

He just plans to use simple sticking tactics to drag on for seven or eight months or even a year or two, and then other countries will come to put pressure on William, and it will be difficult for William to keep up with the logistics at that time.

They thought it beautifully, but I have to say that if this is really the case, William and Norwen really have nothing to do.

However, Norwin didn't think it was an extremely difficult thing, if it was the original Tskema Kingdom, it would take at least half a year to want this kind of castle.

However, it was not in vain that William established the Academy of Science, which he had established for nine years.

Although they did not study the invention of the steam engine that changed the world and the times, these siege machines, pulley technology, and waterwheels were replaced by these technologies, which developed very rapidly.

In addition, the iron-smelting technology has also developed slightly, and due to the perennial war, the blacksmiths of the Holy Religion world have made many attempts.

And this time, the appearance of the steel frying method suddenly opened the door to a new world for these blacksmiths.

They quickly made a lot of attempts on the basis of the frying method, which even made the quality of the steel produced by the frying method slightly improved.

Of course, the most important thing was the development of siege equipment, and William's carpenters studied many excellent siege engines, more excellent punch shafts, more powerful ballistae and bed crossbows.

These are quite dangerous tools for the city walls, and they can be easily conquered if you are not careful.

Moreover, the siege battles in the area of the original Tskema Kingdom were not fierce in the first place, and most of them were soldiers who climbed up with ladders to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

The defenders of the city generally only use stones and arrows to kill the enemy, unlike the Astra Kingdom region or the Rhoderan Empire, their equipment for defending the city is very developed.

Oil-filled, boiling dung, strong bows, and gravel like rain are all incomparable to the kingdom of Tskema.

If Norwin had used these powerful siege engines, he should have been able to conquer the castle in no time.

Norwin looked at the defense line in front of him and began to silently think about how to overcome it, William had already passed the news from the country at this time.

The neighboring countries also knew that Nuwen coveted them, so William hoped that he could exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, and then return to the royal capital with his troops to deter other countries.

It has to be said that William is now under pressure, and other countries have begun to set up troops on the border, causing some residents and merchants in the country to be unstable.

At this moment, Norwen also quickly began to arrange, and the rows of rushing carts, ballistae, bed crossbows, and trebuchets were all assembled.

The counterinsurgency army also appeared neatly on the periphery of the enemy's defensive line, and this time they were trying to make the enemy feel afraid of the counterinsurgency army, and for at least three days he planned to bombard it with long-range weapons, rather than filling the gap with human lives.

He also knew that these were all the living forces of the new kingdom of Lorik, and the loss of a little would make the kingdom less secure.

This line of defense is made up of small fortresses, and if anyone attacks, they can soon support the outside from the inside of the fortress.

Before the arrival of the counterinsurgency army, these rebels were confident that they believed that their side had gathered so many men that it would be very difficult for the enemy to defeat them.

But at this moment, their hearts began to panic, after all, the formation of the counterinsurgency army below was too terrifying, such a neat army, although some of them had seen it, but most of the levies had never seen such a terrifying army.

Before they were recruited, they thought that their lord's army was already incomparably powerful, but after seeing this army of counterinsurgency, they instantly subverted their previous thoughts.

If the armies of their lords are invincible, then the armies in front of them are the armies of God that belong only to the Holy Father.

Such a neat and murderous force made them frightened, and even their morale was greatly affected.

The two sides looked at each other like this, and they put pressure on each other, but the counterinsurgents did not waver, but the rebels began to riot.

Seeing this, Norwen gave the order to shoot, and two thousand three hundred ranged soldiers rained down more than two thousand powerful arrows at this moment.
