Chapter 619: Sneak Attack

"Jena is a good girl, if I really die on the battlefield, then let her find someone else to marry, I don't want to delay her life, but I shouldn't die, I trained for seven years when I was a militia, and I also trained for two years in the army, I believe that no one can kill me! Please tell Jena and marry her as soon as I get back!" ”

The soldier stood in front of the clerk and said in a clumsy language, he was an ordinary soldier, he had not been in the army for too long, and the clumsy language even needed to be modified by the clerk to read, but everyone could read the depths of these soldiers' hearts from this most simple language.

In the end, he wanted to give his sweetheart Jena some letters, but after thinking that there were so many comrades-in-arms behind him, he didn't continue.

Jena is his childhood sweetheart, the two have been together since childhood, and with the passage of time, friendship has gradually deteriorated into a good feeling, and a good feeling has gradually become love.

There is no vigorous love story between the two, there is just a gentle and delicate plain relationship, but the relationship between them is very strong.

This time he followed Charlemagne to Cerrienburg, which he followed voluntarily, and he was the most self-motivated young man, hoping that he would be able to live well for the rest of his life and become a squire.

In that case, he could continue to train his son's martial arts, and in the long run, he might be able to have a knight in his family.

Over the generations, if you're lucky, you might even have a baron.

After this battle, if he can kill three enemies, he can get thirty acres of arable land, plus his previous military exploits, he is already a squire who owns fifty acres and only needs to pay 20% of the tax.

Of course, this is only temporary, these lands are now considered to be his temporary ownership, and only when he is discharged from the army or killed in battle, the land will be completely owned by him.

This is also William's psychology to prevent the soldiers from becoming rich and secure after they have enough property, so that they have no intention of fighting.

With the exception of him, every soldier was writing this kind of suicide note, which was also a tradition of William's royal infantry.

An hour later, when the soldiers were again assembled in the clearing, Charlemagne drew his long sword at his waist and ordered: "All the troops are out!" ”

In this way, more than three hundred soldiers walked out of the confines of Serrienburg and began to walk towards their goal.

They plan to deal with one nobleman first, and then the combined strength of the remaining two nobles will not be enough to compete with Charlemagne.

The target of their trip was the Baron of Arava, whose territory was closest to Charlemagne, and could be reached in less than a day.

In this way, they began to march on the road with their ordnance, grain and grass.

Homan's face was always full of worry, and he said to Charlemagne: "Isn't it a little too despicable for us to do this?" What will others think of us? ”

Charlemagne patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is not despicable or despicable, is it also despicable that he betrayed me like this?" Besides, all we want is victory, reputation is important, but if we fail, we will face the threat of death! ”

"In many cases, prestige is secondary, as long as we can win, then everything doesn't matter!"

Charlemagne understands Homan's "chivalry" very well, and thinks so in the hearts of many knights and even nobles, but Charlemagne is deeply influenced by William after all, and his desire for victory is far greater than prestige!

Homan nodded, as if he understood Charlemagne's words, but Charlemagne knew that he didn't understand, and it only took time to understand.

They marched very fast, but they reached the territory of Baron Avala in a distance of more than twenty kilometers in a little more than half a day.

All those who found their tracks along the way were killed by Charlemagne's order, and no one in the recurve bow, which had a range of one hundred and eighty meters, could escape.

It's not that Charlemagne is too brutal, after all, this operation is hidden, he must nip all hidden dangers in the bud, who dares to guarantee whether these residents will report the news to that Baron Avala.

Their army was ready, and they hid in a small wood, looking at the manor a few hundred meters away.

The manor didn't seem to be very well defended, and the guards around it looked a little loose, Charlemagne couldn't help but smile when he looked at this scene, it seemed that they were completely unvigilant.

"Prepare to attack!" Charlemagne said loudly.

All the soldiers were ready for battle, and the Iron Cross Knights were also mounted on their horses, waiting for Charlemagne's orders at any time, and as soon as they received the order, they would be the first to charge.

"Attack! Capture the gates! Conquer the walls! ”

Charlemagne shouted, and the soldiers rushed out of the forest in an instant, and the royal infantry launched an attack on the wall in groups of three.

A few hundred meters is not too far, but not too close, the soldiers did not run like crazy, but faster than jogging, after all, they still have to keep their real deeds, save their physical strength and prepare for a while of battle.

And the soldiers in the manor also heard their shouts and figures of the charge.

They started shouting around, giving a warning signal to everyone.

But after all, they were unprepared, there were not many people on the city walls, and most of the soldiers were still in the barracks and didn't know what they were doing.

So even though they were ready for battle, they were still not strong enough to withstand the might of the royal infantry.

Behind the royal infantry were the town guards, and at the back were the archers, because they only had a half-body scale armor and a layer of leather armor, and they didn't carry a lot of weight, so they ran relatively fast, even if they didn't have much running training, they were not left behind by the hand-to-hand soldiers.

At this time, the knights of the Iron Cross were still waiting for orders by Charlemagne's side, after all, this kind of knights who mainly fought on horseback were of little use during the siege of the city.

Although they were better at foot combat than the royal infantry, their main mode of combat was on horseback.

The infantry reached the bottom of the wall in just two minutes, which was not high enough for two people to climb with one person in support.

"Hurry, hurry! Get ready for battle! The leader of the soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly.

At this moment, however, the royal infantry had already climbed the walls, and after they had climbed the walls, a massacre began.

They began to defeat the soldiers who were guarding the wall, some in front of them, and the soldiers behind to meet the soldiers below who had not yet come up.

In this way, a large number of soldiers climbed the city wall, and they quickly drove the enemy down.

"Devil! They are simply devils! The soldiers shouted loudly, and then they threw down their weapons and fled the walls.
