William looked at his troops in high spirits, didn't say much, drew the long sword at his waist, and said loudly: "Go!" Target Outpost Twelve! ”

After saying that, the soldiers took the spears in their hands and walked towards the twelfth post with the pace of fighting. The fastest

The heavy infantry and heavy cavalry were all equipped on the carriages, and the knights and heavy cavalry were not mounted on war horses, but on a leather horse.

Saving the physical strength of horses and men was very important for the knights, so they had to ride on horses.

And all kinds of logistical materials, such as arrows, bowstrings, all kinds of grains and air-dried meat, goat's milk is also processed into cheese for easy carrying.

And just before William and the others arrived at Outpost Twelve, Viscount Winston received news that the mercenaries were plundering their territory.

He immediately summoned all the nobles of his camp to discuss countermeasures, but although it was said to be a discussion, it was only to tell them his purpose.

Because he had already seen William's intentions, such a simple plan could not hide from his eyes at all, and after being a middle-class nobleman for so many years, he still had this eyesight, unlike some low-level nobles who were brave and unscrupulous, and shouted for war at the slightest provocation.

"Baron William is simply too arrogant, don't we also have mercenaries, we should mobilize all our forces to encircle and suppress them, and directly let the enemy's strength be greatly damaged, and then our chances of victory will be much greater!"

A nobleman who had defected to Viscount Winston stepped forward and spoke out his naïve plan that represented the majority opinion.

Viscount Winston glanced around at the other nobles and asked, "Do you all think so?" ”

He was a little annoyed by the stupidity of these nobles, as a middle nobleman, or an old nobleman who had mediated between the Viscount of Cowen, the Viscount Raul, and the Count of Loire for decades, and the intrigues he had experienced, if not as many as a cow, but it was also through ups and downs.

William's blatant and simple plan was a matter of momentary thought, and he immediately guessed his intentions.

However, although he understood what William meant, he did not have any way to deal with it, if he had enough advantages in strength, he could send troops to surround and suppress that group of mercenaries without any scruples, but unfortunately his strength was not superior, so he had to ensure that as long as he went into battle, he would wipe out this group of mercenaries.

In this way, they will be able to move back to these disadvantages caused by the financial disparity between the two sides.

When neither side had hired mercenaries, Viscount Winston's side had an advantage, after all, there were more nobles who had defected to him than William, so there were many more troops than William's side.

Moreover, if William did not have such strong financial resources, their advantage would still be maintained.

If William's side were all mobilized, he would be able to mobilize more than 140 knights, including heavy cavalry, 40 heavy infantry, and more than 1,300 armed infantry, including 650 Manders infantry.

There were also more than three thousand light infantry, consisting of serfs, and more than five hundred archers.

This was a life-and-death battle for the nobles, and they mobilized all the combat power of their territory, from the old man in his forties and fifties to the young man in his twelves and thirteens, all of whom were pulled into the battlefield by them.

If it weren't for the series of wars during this time, they would have been able to draw more armed infantry and light infantry to fight.

On the enemy's side, there is not much advantage, except for a little more light infantry, the armed infantry and knights are not as good as William's side, in their opinion, maybe they can hire more mercenaries than William's side.

However, after they saw William's terrifying wealth, they withered a little, and within a few days, they lost their initial arrogance.

However, at this time, in the face of William's provocation, they still dared to shout for war.

"Do you understand Baron William's intentions now?" Viscount Winston sat in his castle study, glanced around at the nobles who had been explained, and asked aloud.

The nobles who took refuge in him were staggered, don't look at the fact that there have been many wars in recent years, and all of them were large-scale battles.

But they still have no attainments at the strategic and tactical level, and during this period, it is either the planning of several viscounts and counts, or William's planning.

Their skills in warfare are still limited to tens or hundreds of people, making a simple formation and starting to fight, and the larger ones are to bring knights and relatives, mobilize serfs as light infantry, and start a wave of melee to determine the victory.

They are a little blind to this kind of war with some strategic tactics and some strategic objectives, after all, vision determines knowledge.

Their eyes are always on the trivial things in their own territory, and of course they are not as long-term as Viscount Winston and William.

"Well, now that you all understand, let's gather our troops immediately and try to annihilate this enemy force before the official arrival of the enemy!"

Viscount Winston stood up from his chair and glanced around: "This is also our chance, as long as we annihilate this enemy, we can turn the tide of battle!" ”

Viscount Winston had a few bubbles on the corners of his mouth at this time, and anxiety filled his heart, he knew that as long as he was defeated, then Baron William would definitely not leave his own.

Even those who follow him will be killed by William one by one, so he must win this war.

Soon, they gathered their troops, and the mighty more than 6,000 people marched to the position where the mercenaries were active, and between life and death, these nobles actually made up the 6,000 people that the entire Denglenburg had been able to mobilize before.

The mercenaries were also wise, knowing that they were just William's bait and would definitely face the enemy's siege, so they had set up a proposed camp within a few days of their arrival.

Although the defense is not as good as that of a real castle or fortress, it still has a great advantage over simple defense on flat ground.

And the mercenary captains are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they must all have excelled in being able to mix up until now, and they have sent the sentry to a place five kilometers around the camp.

Upon discovering the enemy, he immediately retreated to the camp and asked the messenger to report to William that the enemy had gone into battle.

I have to say that William is really right to let the mercenaries stand in the front, if he enters directly with the troops, then he will face an unfamiliar environment.

Although it used to belong to the Dellenburg area, who knows what it was like after the war, it would be nice to have an armed force that did not belong to you at this time.

William also received the news in time, and hurriedly marched to the location of the camp established by the mercenaries with his soldiers, preparing to memorize support, of course, it is best to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
