Chapter 470: The Royal City Changed Hands
The escape of King Lagunar was quite hidden, and the Holy War Army, eager to capture the castle, did not stop the inhabitants who fled from the city, but did not think that their target was to hide among the fleeing inhabitants who escaped alive.
The Denlenburg infantry was approaching the enemy step by step, and the narrow staircase of the city wall was clogged up by the withdrawal of the Norweeds, and the Norweed soldiers who were blocked behind could not raise the slightest resistance in the face of the approaching Denlenburg infantry.
Just desperately squeezing forward, hoping that the people in front of them will be able to hurry, or they can squeeze away from the people in front of them and escape from the city wall.
And just like that, chaos arose, and one by one they fell off the walls to the noisy shouts of the Norweeds.
The seven or eight-meter-high city wall is not a joke, even if you don't die immediately after falling, you will have to break your bones and lose half your life.
This is no different from dying at the hands of the Delenburg infantrymen.
The Norweeds at the back were stabbed to death one by one by the Denlenburg infantry who caught up with their swords and spears, and no one could save their lives when several spears were inserted into their bodies.
William watched the situation inside from outside the city with satisfaction, and since there were already too many Norvid residents pouring out of the city gate, it was inconvenient for him to enter through the city gate.
So he passed through the well and led his retinue to the fallen wall.
The Norweed warriors had no intention of resisting, and fled through the streets, being pursued by the Denlenburg army, while the inhabitants who had not had time to flee from the streets were also hiding from the Denlenburg infantry.
Soon, the streets were cleared of enemies, and there were few fighters to be seen, except for the old and weak Norvid, who had no time to escape.
And so the soldiers gathered down the street in front of the palace of the Norwids.
Looking at the palace in front of him, which has a distinctive Norvid character and looks gorgeous, William can't help but feel excited.
The palace looked more than a dozen meters high, and seemed to be very strong, and the dense windows could be used as a means of resistance for the Norvi people at any time, which was a better fortification than the fortifications of the battlements.
However, although it seems that it is very difficult to enter the palace, as long as you conquer this place, then this war can officially be declared.
It is worth mentioning that the Denlenburg army suffered few casualties due to almost no resistance from the enemy, except for a few abrasions and accidental falls down the stairs, or casualties from other causes.
At the same time, the Holy War Army from other directions also entered the castle, although several city gates were filled by residents, but the Holy War Army would not care about their life and death like William, as long as they dared to stand in the way, they would kill them all, in their opinion, this group of infidels should not be born, and now this meal is helping them to get rid of them.
Many of the residents who had escaped from the castle before were immediately taken into custody by the Holy War Army as soon as they left the castle, and none of them were able to escape from here.
The jihadists are not charitable organizations, on the contrary, the European crusaders who have similar behaviors to the jihadist are regarded as barbarian bandits, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, the main reason is that the members of the jihadist are mixed and the quality is uneven.
There are wandering knights, villains, ruffians, mercenaries, and even the regular armies of various countries are a group of people with extremely poor military discipline.
Therefore, these Norweed old and weak who had no time to hide were almost wiped out, and as soon as the jihadist army entered the city and saw that there was no enemy, they were even more unscrupulous, and even left the task of besieging the palace behind them, and began to commit adultery and plunder.
Countless Norweed women were pressed to the ground by the soldiers of the Holy War and directly forced to resist, and as soon as anyone dared to resist, they were immediately greeted by sharp swords.
All the old and weak of the Norweed wept and screamed powerlessly in the midst of such atrocities, and the moans of women could be heard everywhere as if they were the music of the tragedy of the reign, and the whole capital was weeping and wailing under the ravages of the soldiers of the Holy Army.
William also received the news that the other jihadists had entered the city, and he knew that time was running out for him, and if he did not breach the palace before the other jihadist troops arrived, the others would inevitably have a piece of the pie.
He immediately ordered: "The ranged troops will shoot at the battlements and windows of the enemy's walls, and try to suppress their blows to us!" ”
"Heavy infantry! and the Golden Lion Guards! Use your tomahawks to destroy this gate for me! ”
William looked at the two large wooden doors in front of him, which were three or four meters high, and said.
The soldiers immediately carried out William's orders, and the enemy above also threw stones and other weapons from the windows, hoping to inflict damage on the Denlenburg infantry.
At many of the windows, there were many archers clustered to shoot at the Denlenburg army below.
Of course, their bows were not much different from the hunting bows used by the Lordian hunters, and they did not have a long range and were not very powerful, and they could not do any damage to the Denlenburg army with several layers of armor all over their bodies.
The only thing worth mentioning is the oil tank thrown inside, the oil can fell to the ground, and several torches immediately fell from above, igniting the oil in the oil tank.
This really surprised William, but at this time, this oil tank could not play any role, if it was just when entering the palace wall, the oil tank could also cause a lot of damage to the Denglenburg infantry, but here, the ladder and the well were no longer useful.
Therefore, the army of Denglenburg could not attack the enemy by climbing the city wall, so how could they still be clustered under the enemy's wall?
The only ones under the enemy's walls were the heavy infantry who were responsible for destroying the gates, and they would certainly not be stupid enough to throw oil cans here, and if the flames burned, the wooden gates would not be able to stop the flames.
At that time, it helped the Dellenburg infantry to destroy the city gate faster.
The blows of the archers and crossbowmen were very uncomfortable for the enemy, and thousands of arrows were fired with each shot, even behind the window, which caused hundreds of casualties under several rounds.
Although the palace is not small, when it comes to accommodating the defenders, it can accommodate a thousand people at most, and they can't stand up to such a casualty rate.
Every slash of the Golden Lion Guards and the Heavy Infantry was so powerful that the two large wooden doors that looked so thick were smashed in ten minutes.
The Norweed warriors who were guarding behind saw the Golden Lion Guards and heavy infantry rushing in, and then the Golden Lion Guards and three brigades of Denlenburg infantry entered the palace.
To be on the safe side, William and the other soldiers stayed outside the palace.
The palace was full of chickens and dogs at this time, and they had no hope for this battle, so their morale was low, and coupled with the terrifying enemy troops who broke through the door, they seemed even more panicked.
