Immediately after the first casualties, the Norweed men came to their senses, and the officers among them shouted loudly: "Cut down the enemy's wooden walls with a tomahawk!" Destroy these wooden walls, and they will no longer be able to resist us! ”

In this way, except for the Norwids, who were still blocking the wooden walls, most of the warriors were chopping down the wooden walls with their tomahawks.

Of course, the Jihadist could not have allowed them to destroy their fortifications like this, and the archers on the top of the Ladder Arrow Tower all targeted the Norwids who were slashing through the wooden walls.

Basically, each person can only chop once or twice, and then the archers will be able to deal with it, so the destruction of the wooden wall is actually a bit slow.

However, even so, under the chopping of the tomahawk, these wooden walls were inevitably damaged to a certain extent, and looked a little precarious.

At this time, the Western Road Jihadist Army was indeed a little helpless, except for the Berserk Guard, they didn't have any hole cards to reverse, even if it was just to alleviate the situation.

The knights, as well as the heavy cavalry, which was unique to the Western Kingdoms, were all trapped in the camp and unable to function.

The knights are okay, their foot combat ability is not bad, but those heavy cavalry are not good, their usual training is all horse combat, foot combat is basically not any training, of course, no hair and strong body, strong foot combat Norwidian confrontation.

General Brinville's brows were tightly locked, and his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom as he watched the fierce battle, and everyone saw that the wooden wall they had built was being destroyed little by little, and it was probably not long before it would be completely pushed by the enemy.

At this time, all the people on the high platform were praying in their hearts, praying to their gods, praying that the Father would be merciful and let them through the difficult time.

Pray that the knights who had rushed out had found reinforcements and were on their way to this direction, arriving before the enemy could defeat them.

As for turning defeat into victory, they didn't even think about it, and basically everyone thought that if there was no reinforcements, they would definitely lose.

The sun in the sky kept moving westward, and as the sun left, the sky slowly darkened.

Prince Kirunde looked at the sky on his horse, and then said to the tribal leaders beside him, "Let the soldiers withdraw!" Go back on the offensive tomorrow! ”

His order was reasonable, because people in this day and age seem to have a common problem, which is night blindness.

To be honest, this symptom is a disease caused by poverty, and it is because of insufficient protein intake that it can lead to night blindness.

Those knights and nobles generally did not have this situation, and William's army, because of the daily intake of a large amount of beef and mutton and cow and goat milk, as well as vegetables, made them basically eliminate night blindness.

However, the poor Norweeds obviously did not have the same conditions as William's army or the knights and nobles of Loald, and at night they were like blind men.

So, they had to retreat and wait until daylight to attack.

Prince Kirunde said: "Tomorrow we must carry out a general attack!" We don't have much time! The enemy in the middle is definitely advancing towards our capital, and the enemy on the east side is not something that 80,000 warriors can resist, we must destroy them as soon as possible, and then return to the capital! ”

With this strategy, the Norweed evacuated the wooden wall, which was about to be destroyed, and the soldiers behind the wooden wall were also relieved that the enemy had finally withdrawn.

And General Brinville also reacted quickly from the high platform: "The soldiers who fought today will come back to eat immediately, and then repair our wooden walls, and tomorrow they will not need to fight!" ”

Night fell on the northern part of the continent, and the hinterland of the continent at this time was basically a scene of spring flowers, and the counties of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg were full of life.

It has to be said that the militia policy under William has shrunk slightly, because William's policy of encouraging industry and commerce has been completely manifested.

A large number of handicraft workshops and factories were established in the counties of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg, which required a lot of labor to make them, and the intelligence of the orcs was not enough, so the real commoners became the first choice for those merchants.

However, these civilians usually work as farmers, and in their spare time, they also have to participate in militia training, so they have no time to work in factories as workers.

But as a result, the merchants could not find any laborers, so they sent a message to the Earl in the hope that the Earl would relax the policy and provide them with some labor.

William didn't think about it so much before, after all, he was just an otaku when he crossed money, and he only had very little for industry and commerce, if it weren't for the collective voice of these businessmen, he probably wouldn't have realized this matter.

Some people also wonder why those residents who can endure such good treatment do not go, but instead participate in militia training after the farm slack.

What they didn't know was that the desire to join the official army of Denlenburg was the biggest reason why they could resist the temptation of money, or whether it was because their property rights were not in their hands.

To put it bluntly, they were all William's serfs, and the two counties of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg did not even have a single free citizen, and to put it bluntly, the population of more than a million people was all William's private product.

This is true not only of William, but also of other aristocracy, of other countries, or that the freedmen are a higher class, and the serfs are the general mass class.

Because the freedmen were not required to pay taxes to the king, even the tithes of the church were ignored, and their only obligation was to serve the lord, and the lord had to pay for it.

That is, no one is allowed to make these inhabitants serve him in any form without William's permission.

This was an infringement of William's rights, but later, in order to continue to develop the industry and commerce of the territory, William still let these merchants hire serfs, but one-fifth of the serfs' income had to be taxed.

This is the same as the agricultural tax, these serfs are his private property, this may be the same as the system of the Celestial Empire, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers.

In this way, William's domain was once again a class, the working class, and of course, their unified identity was still William's serf.

On the battlefield of jihad, the sun rises from the sky day after day, bringing with it a full of light.

The wooden walls built by the Western Legion have been repaired and somewhat reinforced, but there are far more enemies than yesterday outside.

A full 120,000 enemies, all of them surrounded the wooden walls of the Holy War Army, and the black pressure was like a dark cloud, pressing on the hearts of the Holy War Army, making them breathless.

General Brinville and a group of generals and nobles stood on the high platform in the center, silently watching the soldiers on both sides who were facing each other.

"Get ready for the last battle! Our reinforcements have not yet arrived, and we don't even know if there are any more, and the enemy is about to launch a full-scale offensive today! ”
