Spring was coming to an end, and some summer heat was already beginning to shine in the air, and the slightly rising heat wave made the soldiers' faces ooze beads of sweat.

William looked at the map in his hand and found that he was only about forty-five kilometers away from his destination, and then looked at the sun and found that it was already early afternoon.

In terms of time, no matter how much he marched today, it would not be possible to reach Issamdenburg, so he spoke: "The whole army stops!" Set up camp on the spot! ”

The order and prohibition had penetrated into the bones of the Denlenburg army, and with William's order, all the soldiers began to act.

Some of them set up their tents, some of them set up their horses, and planned the roads of the camp, while the light cavalry were responsible for surveying the surrounding terrain and whether there were any enemies, while others continued to set up the camp for the next step.

William, on the other hand, is still in his small carriage, because his large tent has not yet been set up, and he now misses his luxurious four-** carriage.

Soon, the soldiers completed the construction of the camp, and it only took more than three hours to complete all the arrangements.

After the tent was set up, it was already about five or six o'clock in the evening, and it was already time for dinner, and the smoke of cooking rose in the camp.

There is an iron cauldron on the fire on the ground, and now there is no shortage of iron in Dülenburg, although there is still no iron ore, but with the aid of King Brolin and the trade of the Sichekers, plus the indemnity of the Chunchekers, William is not short of iron.

The iron materials of the Tskma Kingdom were used to make civilian production tools, such as iron plows, shovels, iron picks, and iron pots, while weapons and equipment, armor, knives and guns, were made of iron imported by the Chekers.

After all, their iron materials are indeed better in quality than those in the Kingdom of Tskema, and if William can get more iron materials and sell them to other regions, it will be in high demand and will be welcomed by everyone.

It's a pity that the supply of the Chekels is only enough for him for the time being, and there is no need to think about selling it.

As the smoke rose from the tent, the aroma of food permeated the camp, mixed with the aroma of meat, milk, and wheat.

William prepared a lot of food for the soldiers, as is the case in normal times, and he had to give the soldiers plenty of food to ensure their physique and muscle growth.

Sheep's milk, cheese, now made into dry cheese, and all kinds of meat, beef and mutton, and game from the forest, but now because of the expedition, all that is brought out is some air-dried meat.

In addition to this, rye and wheat, as well as some sour fruits and vegetables, were given vitamins to the soldiers, in order to prevent them from scurvy.

In addition, there are many military doctors who have to conduct regular examinations for soldiers, in order to make the soldiers have a strong and healthy body.

With their bowls in hand, the soldiers began to sit on the floor and eat, and the hearty food often kept the morale of the army high, as did the Denlenburg infantry.

They ate a fragrant dinner, praising William, and at the same time anticipating the coming of war, and after dinner, they took their spears and swords and Jill armor to maintain.

They hope to take credit for the rest of the war and receive a hefty bounty or a piece of farmland that belongs to their family for seventy years.

This is very tempting for soldiers from the civilian farming and pastoral class.

Although William's brainwashing made them even willing to fight for free, in any case, only profit is what can drive people to fight desperately.

Hearing the war and dancing, this is the truest portrayal of the current Denglunberg army, they are like the Qin army of the Celestial Empire, driven by interests, as long as they hear the war, they will cheer, how can such a force not win the battle?

William's large tent had been set up, and a whole table of sumptuous food had been placed in the tent, and all the nobles who had accompanied William on his expedition were present.

They looked at the food on the table, but they didn't do it right away, because they knew that William had something to announce to them, or a strategy to explain.

After all, the name of the Fox of Denglenburg is still sung throughout the kingdom, even if he hasn't fought another battle in four years, but his prestige is still there.

William pulled the meat on the plate with the fork in his hand, and said slowly: "I don't have any strategy, and the siege of the city is the best choice in the current situation, isn't it?" ”

The others looked at each other, apparently in disbelief at the way the Denlenburg Fox got along.

Although it seemed that the solution was indeed very effective, they were almost all expecting William's scheme.

The others nodded in agreement.

The next morning, the soldiers got up from their tents in good spirits, and the whole night of indulgence made them look very refreshed, and the roosters were all left here.

The troops were pulled out, and this time William ordered them to put all the armor on their bodies, after all, they were already close to the enemy's city, and it was very likely that they would be attacked by the enemy.

After a day's march, they finally reached the bottom of Issamdenburg Castle in the early afternoon, and the villages or manors on the outskirts of the castle were now empty, and they all took refuge in the castle.

Looking at the not-so-towering but unbreakable city wall in front of him, William's eyes narrowed.

He gave the order for the soldiers to divide into two parts, and to surround the front and rear gates of the castle respectively, so that the enemy inside could not get out, and the enemy outside could not enter.

At this time, in the main castle of Isamdenburg, the Earl of Cansville was standing at the top of his main castle, checking on the enemies below.

At present, more than 1,000 regular armed infantry, more than 200 knights, and hundreds of archers have been assembled in his castle to defend the castle, and more than 4,000 serfs are defending in the castle.

It can be said that now all the forces that the Earl of Canswell can mobilize have been mobilized.

At this time, there was still some hope in his heart, because he knew very well what his task was, so he showed that he was confident.

However, the nobles below did not think so, so two of his vassals refused his signs, and instead stayed in the territory and surrendered as soon as the enemy arrived.

He didn't want to care about such disobedient vassals, so he let them go, anyway, even if he relied on his own means, he could defend the castle.

The soldiers began to busiggle on both sides of the gate, setting up their tents and placing a large number of horses in the direction of the gate to prevent the enemy from attacking the castle.

The other part of the soldiers were busy assembling a piece of equipment, and as time passed, the shape of the equipment was gradually revealed.
