After six days, the soldiers finally clumsily managed to make five wells.

As soon as it was dawn, William ordered his soldiers to appear under the walls of Winstonburg with the well in their hands, and to be honest, William now had a faint sense of superiority over Winstonburg.

Because the castle he is building now has a uniform height of seven and a half meters, which is more than four meters higher than Winstonburg, and even if it has not yet been completed, William is still proud.

Looking at Fort Winston, whose gate gate had been sealed in front of him, William knew that the only way was to use the city wall as a breakthrough to conquer the castle.

Archers, give me a climb to the wells, thirty people each, and throw them at the city wall from time to time! ”

William first had the lightly leather-armoured archers climb to the top of the well, where they were firing.

In terms of the range of the recurve compound bow in the hands of the Manders archers, it is a complete bully.

"The Manders infantry go under the well, and when the archers have finished their shots, you will attack the walls."

"Mercenaries, too!" William said, nodding at Commander Merlin, and then said: "Follow the rear of the Menders infantry, you are responsible for the top when they are wounded, and you must quickly capture the enemy's wall for me, understand?" ”

William began to give orders everywhere with great fanfare, and the momentum really looked like a battle-hardened general.

However, his arrangements are reasonable, the remaining number of heavy infantry is really small, so they can only withdraw from the battle sequence for the time being, maybe they can cooperate with the knights to fight, but not yet.

"Well Block! Advance! William gave the order, and the five wells in front of the troops began to move slowly forward.

In the end, the well stopped more than 180 meters from the city wall, which was the best range for the archers to recurve their compound bows.

And the enemy's bow, the range of fifty or sixty meters is already the limit, and William hits this kind of bullying attention.

The archers obeyed William's orders and began to throw freely, although this distance was difficult for most archers.

But after training every day, they can still have some accuracy, and about one-tenth of the arrows can successfully hit the enemy.

Don't look at only one-tenth, this is already an incredible record.

Not to mention such a distance, even the enemy's battlements have increased the difficulty of shooting for them, not to mention some other objective factors.

As the archers fired, screams began to erupt from the walls, their leather armor unable to withstand the powerful arrows fired by the recurved composite bows.

A wail sounded, and some of the arrows appeared on the city wall, some with two or three arrows stuck in their bodies, and they were directly nameless.

There were also some who were only hit by an arrow, but without exception they all lost their combat effectiveness because of this.

The frequency of the arrows is very high, and although it is not like a flying locust, it is true that it makes the enemy like a frightened bird.

With ten rounds of fire from the Manders archers, they finally stopped striking the enemy, and after ten rounds, the leather fingerguards in their hands were worn out.

The pectoral muscles and biceps brachii were also cramping and aching from the continuous high-intensity bow pulling, and they should not be expected to fight for a day or two.

After completing their mission, the archers left the well and replaced the next group of archers, who were not William's men, but archers made up by other nobles.

They weren't as good as the Menders archers, but this kind of thing was better than nothing, wasn't it?

When the time comes, you will always be able to inflict some casualties on the enemy.

"Jing Yan, keep pushing me forward!" William shouted loudly, and the soldiers in charge of the advance of the well heard William's order without even using the heralds.

"Damn it!" Viscount Winston scolded heavily on the walls, and then said, "Soldiers! Cheer me up and fight! We have inflicted so much damage on the enemy, they will definitely not let us go! Only if we fight desperately will we have a chance of survival! ”

"That's right!" Viscount Winston's son echoed loudly and said, "You must fight hard, tell you!" There is only one fate for losers, and that is - death! ”

"We are isolated, but we must defend ourselves against the enemy's attack! Just stop them, and I'll give you a great reward! ”

In fact, Viscount Winston was quite conflicted when he said this.

Long before William and the others had made the well, Viscount Winston secretly sent people to William's camp.

He wanted to make a private peace with William behind his back and his own people.

He is not like dying at all, letting his family lose its inheritance, life may be important to him, but for a nobleman, the importance of family is far more important than his own life.

As a result, he was even willing to give up his title and most of his realm to become an ordinary little baron.

However, it is a pity that William did not agree to his proposal, for William, with his days, he will definitely not be able to sleep.

Unless he is now a prisoner of his own hands, just like Viscount Imojo, who was against him before.

But at that point, it was up to William to decide whether he was a prisoner or something else.

Now William's army of captives was very large, fourteen barons, two viscounts, more than eighty knights, nearly six thousand light infantry and armed infantry.

All of them came into contact with the armament and became William's prisoners.

In particular, the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by Viscount Serindil immediately disarmed and surrendered after learning that Viscount Serindil had been captured, and William captured more than 1,000 people without a single soldier.

"Squeak ......"

There was a tooth-sore sound, and the five wells unanimously laid planks on the battlements of the city wall.

The soldiers in the castle were assembled on the city wall early under the orders of Viscount Winston.

Viscount Winston was not like before, hiding in the main castle in the rear, after all, after secretly negotiating with William and being rejected, he had no way out.

Fighting to the death is his only way.

The Manders infantry were somewhat crippled, so the formation was not very perfect, but they still lined up in a triangular formation, and climbed the city wall with spears as short as two meters in their hands.

In a relatively narrow place like the city walls, a two-meter spear is much more practical than a three-meter one.

The leg armor on the feet of the Manders infantry was also covered with pieces of scale armor, and it sounded very imposing when they stepped on the ground.

The enemy was no more than two hundred people on the city walls, and under the blows of the Mandes archers, more than a hundred people had already lost their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, with the tacit cooperation of the Menders infantry, the enemy was defeated and retreated, and they were constantly pierced through the chest by the Manders infantry with sharp spears, bringing out pieces of blood.
