Chapter 562: Capture the City
When the two returned, they were closely monitored by spies arranged by Duke Bunkerson, but due to the vigilance of the Marquis of Croton and the Marquis of Apollon, they did not receive any useful information.
When the Marquis of Apollon arranged this matter, only a few high-ranking henchmen knew about it, and the middle and low-ranking officers did not know about it.
In the evening of the same day, at about three o'clock in the morning, a group of about 200 Blackstone troops shuttled on top of the strong.
At this time, there were only a few soldiers on the city wall defending, so they didn't find any trace of these two hundred Blackstone soldiers at all.
Soon, they reached the vicinity of the city gate, which was guarded by about two dozen soldiers of the Duke of Bunkerson, and four knights.
In order to avoid some accidents, these Blackstone soldiers gradually approached the sleepy guards, and more than a dozen Blackstone soldiers also appeared at the city gate.
William, also led the Iron Cross knights to wait quietly outside the city, and the Denlenburg infantry were also waiting for them, but all this was under the cover of darkness and did not let the enemy find out.
William was dressed in military uniform, braving the bitter wind and snow waiting outside the city, he planned to let some of the knights rush in first, if this was a trap for the Blackstone army, then he would suffer great losses.
These Blackstone soldiers were hiding around the gates, and these sleepy soldiers could do little to stop them.
A dozen or so carefully selected swordsmen who were not weaker than knights stood out in the ranks, and they walked lightly and did not make a sound on the ground.
And behind them, there were also dozens of soldiers, and after they eliminated the four knights in the first place, everyone would rush forward.
A dozen good men quietly approached the knights, who were drowsy, but just as they approached them.
One of the knights suddenly opened his eyes, he sensed the danger coming, quickly stepped back, and then drew his sword from his waist.
yelled: "Who are you!" ”
He shouted in his life, which woke up many people, and the remaining three knights also woke up at the first time, after all, they were elite knights who had experienced a hundred battles.
The dozen or so knights had to continue attacking, but their attacks were defused by their opponents one by one, and then, more than a dozen knights attacked the four knights at the same time, and the knights quickly fell into disadvantage.
Most of the remaining soldiers were awakened by the roar of the knight before, and they hurriedly picked up the spears in their hands and looked around in a panic for the attacking enemy.
These more than 200 soldiers quickly swarmed up, directly killing many enemies with the swords and spears in their hands, and the four knights were also killed one by one under the sharp attacks of these dozen good hands.
In this way, the gate gate fell into the control of the Blackstone Army, who lit the torches on the tower brighter and kicked them under the city wall as agreed with William.
Such a striking change is sure to catch William's attention.
Several soldiers worked together to turn the winch that connected the upper part of the gate gate to the lower gate, and the first floor of the gate was slowly hoisted.
Then a dozen soldiers below were also several people together, pushing the city gate from the inside out.
There was a creaking sound from the huge gates, and at last, half a minute later, the gates opened, and William shouted when he saw it outside.
"The Second Banner of the First Wing of the Iron Cross Knights, charge inside the city gate!"
"The third column of light cavalry, charge towards the city gate, and the others stand by!"
After the order was given, the soldiers quickly rushed in, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded through the city wall, and the Blackstone Army above looked at the charge of more than 100 people, and they also had palpitations.
Many people felt fortunate that such a terrifying force had not been put into battle before, and it was difficult for them to deal with long-range strikes alone, and it would be a disaster if such a terrifying knight also joined the attack.
And inside the castle, the Blackstone Army also poured out of the barracks, which was the agreement between the Marquis of Apollon and William before, and William sent people in to see if the Marquis of Apollon kept the agreement.
Otherwise, he was really afraid of being ambushed by the Marquis of Apollon and the Duke of Bunkerson.
The Blackstone army that poured out of the nest quickly fought with the soldiers of Sir Bunkerson on the road, only a few of Duke Bunkerson's soldiers were elite, and the rest were the army of his vassals.
There are rabble and hundreds of elite soldiers, but speaking of which, it is still the rabble that accounts for the majority.
Some of the vassals were shocked to see this, they were already full of disappointment with the Duke of Bunkerson because of William's attack, and if it weren't for William outside the city still besieging the city, they would probably have to surrender to William.
The Blackstone Army, as an organization that only the best of the outlaws can join, is obviously much stronger in combat than the soldiers of Duke Bunkerson and those vassals.
They marched all the way, gradually taking control of the outer area of the castle, and even began to approach the palace where Duke Bunkerson was located.
As for the Iron Legion, they were strictly forbidden to leave the place by the Marquis of Croton, so they did not participate in this matter.
"Damn it! These despicable mercenaries who don't keep their word! They deserve hell! How dare they do this to me! I'm going to hang them all!" ”
Duke Bunkerson's courtiers hurried to his room to report the incident when there was an accident.
They stood with their hands down, quietly waiting for Duke Bunkerson to vent the anger in their hearts, as for his angry words, no one took them seriously.
At this time, he was already unable to protect himself, and he had long since lost the strength to hang anyone, in fact, if the palace was also captured by the other party, then he would be the one who was hanged.
Therefore, at this time, many people have begun to think about their retreat, and no one wants to die with Duke Bunkerson and bury him.
"And you! What are you doing eating you waste! Duke Bunkerson pointed at his spy leader and cursed in annoyance.
And his spy leader can only stand silently in place, bearing the wrath of Duke Bunkerson.
The soldiers sent into the city by William observed for a while and confirmed that there was no problem, and the hussars took out their composite cavalry bows placed at their waists and placed arrows wrapped in strips of oiled cloth on their torches and lit them.
This column of 120 men shot arrows into the sky at the same time, and this hint was also very obvious, and William immediately ordered that the light cavalry led by Hurim rushed into the castle, and then Norwen led the knights of the Iron Cross to follow.
The sound of horses' hooves, louder than just now, suddenly resounded through the dim world, and the whole earth seemed to tremble under the sound of horses' hooves, and every corner of the entire Brijek City could clearly hear this terrifying sound of horses' hooves.
At this time, Duke Bunkerson sat weakly on the chair in the study, and he whispered to himself, "It's over...... It's all over! ”
