Chapter 620: Mutation

The royal infantry slaughtered the walls of the city, and the pikemen stabbed their sharp spears into the chests of their enemies, and internal organs and intestines flowed out of the wounds.

And cutting off hands and feet, cutting off noses and ears, that is simply a common thing, and even the scenes of heads being thrown up are countless.

In this way, they feared the brutality of the royal infantry, and threw down their weapons and ran down the walls.

This wall is actually not very high, at best it is only a low wall, although it also has good defensive capabilities, but it is still not enough in front of the royal infantry.

Soon, the royal infantry and town guards took control of the low wall.

And just as they were about to attack the main fort, they suddenly found that the walls and windows of the main fort were actually full of soldiers.

And none of them looked like improvised serf soldiers, and the armor they wore and their stature made it clear that they were regular soldiers.

Charlemagne also climbed the low wall at this time, and he looked at the defenders of the main fort with a frown.

This is too unreasonable, since they have sent so many soldiers to block the road, then their base camp should be empty.

Such a situation was unexpected by Charlemagne and the other three, Charlemagne stared at the defenders above the main fort: "Could it be that the soldiers blocking the road are the soldiers of the other two nobles?" ”

"Is that all my luck had?" Charlemagne was deeply suspicious, and suddenly, he found out what was going on.

"It's that mysterious force!" Charlemagne's heart suddenly became dark, he had fallen into a misunderstanding before, and he had never thought that the soldiers blocking the road were provided by that mysterious strength.

You must know that although the aristocratic class advocates honor and prestige, these two things are obtained from force, in other words, the aristocracy has always advocated force.

If that mysterious force didn't have enough force, how could it be possible to let these three unruly vassals be willing to bow down.

If that mysterious force sends troops to block the road, and then lets these nobles fight against themselves, then everything will be explained.

Charlemagne wanted to hammer his head hard, why did he ignore them.

But randomly, he is not so annoyed, after all, there are still some advantages for him to take the initiative to attack like this, after all, which mysterious force blocked the road in order to be able to make the three nobles unite against him, and now he is the first to attack one, which can at least reduce a lot of pressure on himself.

Therefore, Charlemagne quickly adjusted his mentality and ordered the soldiers below: "Conquer this main fort as soon as possible, and we are not far from victory!" ”

Just as the soldiers were gathering under the main fort to prepare for the attack, the gate of the main fort was suddenly opened, and five warriors on horseback rushed out of it.

It looks very well equipped, and it should be a knight under Baron Avala.

"Stop them!" The captains of the royal infantry reacted the fastest, shouting directly to the soldiers under them.

But these knights, seeing such a large number of soldiers in front of them, quickly changed the direction of their gallop.

They changed directions and continued to gallop, the royal infantry wore such heavy armor, although running training was also a very important training subject for them, but after all, people could not run war horses.

So even their hard pursuits kept the five knights out of their defenses.

The commander of the archers and crossbowmen also reacted at this time, and he quickly gave the order to shoot, and forty powerful arrows were fired.

These knights heard the sound of breaking the air behind them, and very wisely dispersed the formation quickly, and only one knight fell off his horse after this round of shooting.

And it was the time of this round of shooting, but the remaining four knights had already rushed out of dozens of meters.

"Launch!" The commander of the archers shouted again, and more than forty arrows flew out.

This time, there were two knights who were hit by the arrows, because they were running wildly towards the exit of the low wall, which forced them to shrink their loose formation, so the arrows were much more accurate when they were fired at them.

"Close the door!" Charlemagne shouted above the low wall of the wall, but since his previous target was the main fort, all the soldiers were gathered below the main fort, which caused no one on the low wall to control the gate except for the forty Iron Cross knights.

In this way, the remaining two finally broke out of the low wall, and because the knights of the Iron Cross dismounted, they could not pursue at all, and the two knights actually walked away in full view.

Charlemagne's mood became bad again at this moment, although he received a very good education, but after all, he was inexperienced, and it was normal for such things to happen.

Therefore, William's decision to let him experience it himself was the right one, and Charlemagne would never make such a low-level mistake again when something like this happened.

This is something that can never be learned under William's protection, and only by letting him hone it himself can he learn these delicate things.

Charlemagne looked at the figures of the two knights who were gradually moving away, his face was gloomy, and he knew that these knights rushed out at the cost of their lives just to ask for help.

It was only seven or eight hours from here to another nobleman's domain, and their reinforcements were likely to arrive in a day or half a day.

Charlemagne looked at the main castle in front of him, and the significance of the nobles' enthusiasm for building castles was that the castle allowed them to defend against a large number of enemy attacks with a small number of troops.

Just like the current main fort, before this incident happened, Charlemagne originally planned to spend seven or eight days to conquer, if it weren't for his great trust in the strength of the royal infantry, and the strength of the royal infantry was also very strong, this main fort might not be able to be captured in half a month.

This was the great role that castles played in this era, and why William built small forts every ten kilometers in his domain.

Although Charlemagne was annoyed in his heart, after all, it had happened, and it was useless to dwell on it, so he immediately ordered the royal infantry to attack.

Such a castle is not easy to attack, because he is a whole, and there is no other breach except for the gate of the main castle.

Thus began the royal infantry, armed with huge double-harvest battle axes, and began to smash the wooden doors of the main fort.

And the soldiers inside the main fort, of course, could not let them break the wooden door, and they began to release arrows below.

Although their arrows are weak soft bows, which can do little damage to the royal infantry, they are still a threat to the Town Guard.

And the royal infantry near these wooden gates had to face the stones thrown from above the main fort.
