Fierce arrows rained down on the enemy's head, causing more than 400 casualties to the enemy.

However, most of the more than 400 people were serfs who had been temporarily conscripted, and there were not many regular soldiers.

But even so, the enemy was terrified of the counterinsurgency's combat effectiveness.

Seeing this scene, Norwen did not have the next order, and the first salvo of his powerful long-range troops only caused so few casualties when the enemy was unprepared.

He felt that it was a little difficult to deal with, and it seemed that this time the counterinsurgency would definitely not be as easy as the suppression of bandits.

Norwin still ordered ranged units to shoot, but since the enemy had already known the power of the royal archers, almost no one poked their heads out.

There was no one left on the top of these small forts, and all of them withdrew to the main body of the fort.

Therefore, after this round of shooting, 2,300 arrows caused less than 100 casualties to the enemy.

Norwin didn't expect that this line of defense alone would be so difficult, originally he thought that he could defeat the enemy with devastating decay, but now it seems that he thought that the counterinsurgency was too simple.

However, Norwen still did not intend to fill it with human lives, and he directly sent ballistas and trebuchets to bombard the enemy's small pillboxes.

The trebuchet is an attack from above, and stones of various sizes fall on top of the enemy's bunkers, causing them to tremble.

The ballista is a flat-fire attack, and the stones are fired quickly by relying on the torsion of the ballista, and the power of the trebuchet comes from the gravity of the stones from top to bottom, but the ballista is launched by relying on the strong torsion.

In terms of speed and impact, it is much stronger than trebuchet.

In an instant, several fortresses were destroyed by falling stones from the sky or shooting stones, after all, this was only a fortress they had built in a hurry, and it could not be compared to those forts built in years.

In this way, the collapsed fortress caused many soldiers to be crushed directly under the collapsed fortress.

Seeing this, Norwin couldn't help but smile on his face, he knew that these fortresses must not be very good in moderation, and sure enough, under the blows of ballistas and trebuchets, many fortresses collapsed.

There was a wail in the letter from the rebel nobles in the back, and the earl was also very sad.

In fact, he had known for a long time that such an impenetrable fortress would not be able to withstand the enemy's attack at all.

This was why he had always opposed the construction of defensive lines, and behind them was a medium-sized fortress called Fort Kusen, a fortified fortress that the local nobles had spent twenty years building.

Far from being able to compare with these quick-build, shoddy fortresses built in a month or two.

Noven seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the royal infantry to press on, and the vassal armies advanced simultaneously on both sides, while the knights waited for orders at any time.

The counterinsurgency forces were quickly overwhelmed, and some of them were armed with heavy two-handed axes to split the wooden doors of the forts that had not collapsed.

In fact, this kind of thing should have been done by the heavy infantry or the Golden Lion Guards, but they did not complete the training.

Their training cycle usually takes more than a year, after all, they mainly need to improve their strength, which is much more difficult than other royal infantry.

However, the strength of the royal infantry is not weak, and the long training has made them muscular, and it is not too difficult to use heavy weapons such as battle axes.

One part of the royal army went to kill the enemies crushed under the fortress, while the other part began to smash the wooden doors of the fortress with their tomahawks.

Soon, fortresses were breached, and the counterinsurgency army rushed in to slaughter the enemy.

The nobles in the back are dripping blood in their hearts, this is their army, and after these soldiers are killed, it also means that their strength is weakened.

"Nope! Get them back! ”

A nobleman cried out in grief that all his troops were on the defensive line and had lost a lot of money, which made him very sad.

"Yes, let's get the soldiers back!"

The nobles chimed in, after all, it was only a makeshift alliance, and there was not even a leader who could coordinate everyone.

All the arrangements were negotiated by these nobles together, especially the bad idea of forming a line of defense in two months, which they had collectively discussed, and even the earl's opposition was useless.

And now, seeing that the defensive line is useless, they immediately choose to withdraw their troops.

Their group of people is short-sighted, and there is no strict organization for this kind of thing of sitting and rebelling, speaking of which, my brother and their group of people are dying for small gains, and they are sacrificing their lives when they do big things!

If it weren't for the fact that William hadn't completely integrated the forces of the entire country now, it would have been their turn to come here and be arrogant.

One fortress after another was conquered, the soldiers inside were massacred, and blood even flowed down the gates of those fortresses.

Once the fort is emptied, the soldiers who enter will come out of it in droves and look for the next target.

Soon, the rebel soldiers withdrew from the fortress and ran towards the castle behind their lines.

Now it was time for the knights to show their might, and the 1,400 knights and light cavalry received the order of Nowen and rushed towards the fleeing enemy like arrows from the string.

These nobles were completely blinded, they were completely oblivious to the thousands of cavalry behind Norwen, and the philosophical infantry walked out of the fortress without support or formation, and they were looking for death.

The knights and hussars loved this fondly, standing on the ground without the ability to resist, waiting for their slaughter.

The counterinsurgency nobles were also very meritorious, and after obtaining Norwen's permission, they quickly sent their own knights or light cavalry.

Because after getting the two counties of the grassland, the difficulty of forming war horses and light cavalry was much lower, and many of them formed light cavalry.

This also made their tactics more varied, and soon the cavalry began to slaughter the enemy.

The knights and hussars did not even use their spears, but slashed at the enemy with their swords and sabers.

The morale of the enemy soldiers collapsed, and they fled in all directions in confusion.

The rebel nobles looked at the ants below, anxious, and the sight made them even less hopeful about the rebellion.

Originally, their rebellion was a helpless move, and if it weren't for William spreading the previous rumors, they might have endured it all the time.

So it can be said that the current situation can almost be said to be caused by William.

The rebel nobles were in a state of gloom, hoping that the remaining forces would hold the fortress, forcing William to withdraw.

Otherwise, they may really die without a place to bury.
