Chapter 773: Fierce Battle Sneak Attack
William went around the forest behind the enemy with a large army, and he was quite sure that the enemy had not noticed them at all.
The living favorites along the way have been killed by sentries under William's orders, and the traces along the way have also been cleaned up by the soldiers, who want to find them unless they have future radar technology.
William sent fast-moving light infantry to the front every day to quietly inspect the battle, so he also had a slight understanding of the difficulty of this battle.
"Attack! Take this wall down! Plunder the riches within! Once we've plundered this place, we can go home with all this untold riches! ”
Emperor Porioye shouted loudly, Kirander had not said anything in the last few words, although he hated the Loerdes very much, but he did not have any sense of belonging to the Norweed Empire.
For him, he will always be a member of the Norwid Kingdom, and now that the Norwid Kingdom is gone, he has become a man without a country.
For him, it was enough to be able to inflict such great pain on the Norweeds, who had died at least three or four million at the hands of the Norweeds in this war, and many refugees who died on the way because of lack of food and on the way, adding up to tens of millions.
Now the Norweed warriors have become homesick, they have been given satisfactory wealth, and they just want to return to their homes and live better with it.
But they don't know what inflation means, and when they get home, maybe a gold coin will buy only one piece of dried fish.
Hardly anyone in this day and age could have realized this, not even Emperor Grein, or the Pope, or Emperor Porioye, who had absolutely no idea of the meaning of inflation.
Only William, who came from another world, could understand what inflation was all about.
Emperor Porioye was also aware of the mood of the soldiers, so he knew that he could not stay here any longer, and the enemy's resistance was fierce, and if he continued to do so, he might really capsize.
He had written to inform the Norweed troops who had conquered the western countries, that they should retreat to the shore and prepare to return home as soon as they had perished.
At such a distance, Emperor Porioye did not know that the army he had sent had been completely wiped out by the Kingdom of Lorik.
Today, Emperor Porioye finally made up his mind to launch a general attack, and he vowed to gnaw off the hard bone that had hindered him for nine months, even if he would break a few teeth for it.
"Press it up! Everybody press it on me! I'm going to conquer this castle in three days, and everybody will give me a siege!" ”
Emperor Porioye also held a breath of anger in his heart, he had already been resentful of not conquering this castle for so long.
At this time, the number of defenders in the castle has shrunk a lot, and now there are about 60,000 people left, and the elite Rhodeland royal legions are almost exhausted, and the losses of the Lion Knights and the Sunshine Knights are also quite huge.
"Hold on! Be sure to hold on! Reinforcements are coming! Hold on for a few more days! It only takes a few days for us to be saved! Don't let the reinforcements arrive and all you can see is our corpses and the swaggering Norwids! ”
The officers on the city wall were loudly cheering up, and the continuous shouting for so many days had made their voices extremely hoarse, and the words shouted were also the same, and they were almost ineffective.
Of course, the soldiers on the walls of the city still resisted very hard, and everyone knew that once the castle was breached, no one would be spared, and everyone would become the ghosts of the Norwids.
Now the city wall has been covered with layers of corpses, because the enemy's attack is not interrupted at all, so there is no time to clean up the corpses on the city wall.
Now, the two sides fighting on the city wall are not able to keep their feet on the ground, they can't touch the city wall at all, and if anyone falls, they will immediately get soaked and take a bloody bath.
Even under the city walls were pools of blood, and the heads, broken arms, and internal organs were trampled into a mess of flesh by the soldiers on both sides, although it was not as evenly shattered as the horse's hooves, but it was also a blur of flesh and blood.
The battle continued into the evening, and waves of lightly armored infantry passed on the battle situation ahead to William, but William still did not move and had no intention of sending troops at all.
William knew that the defenders in the castle had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and that it was best to be able to consume some of their strength, and he liked the things that made the fisherman profitable.
Emperor Greine anxiously looked at various documents in his study, dispatching fewer and fewer troops to extinguish the fire everywhere.
His countenance seemed to have aged a little longer in the past few days, and now the majority of his head was gray hair instead of blonde.
"Let the soldiers hold on, our reinforcements will surely arrive within five days!"
Emperor Greine frowned, his eyes bloodshot and said to the vassals in front of him.
Of course, he didn't know when William would arrive, he just wanted to mobilize the fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
Although this is just to quench your thirst, after all, it can continue to live for a while, although when the time is up, if William has not appeared, the army's morale will collapse, but it is better than the castle being crushed by the enemy now.
The war lasted all night again, and unlike the previous battle that had been tacitly agreed between the two sides as long as it was night, this time they were fighting at night.
Emperor Porioye and his clan leaders and soldiers had lost their patience and could not wait any longer, they all wanted to conquer the walls as soon as possible.
The battle lasted all night, and the entire city wall was stained red with blood, and it looked blood-red, and it was no longer visible its original color.
William estimated that on this day and one night, the battle losses on both sides should reach about 30,000, and the remaining defenders in the castle should not exceed 50,000.
After less than an hour's rest, the war began again, and most of the army was sent by Emperor Porioye to attack the inner city inside the outer walls.
The army on his side definitely did not exceed five thousand people!
When William got the news, he knew that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately mobilized all the troops.
After everyone had assembled, William ordered the royal infantry and vassal army to slow down, and when the infantry was about to leave the forest, William mounted his horse and walked to the front of the knights' ranks.
He led his army slowly, slowing his pace towards the edge of the forest.
William sat on a warhorse, holding a four-meter-long cavalry spear in his hand, and put on armor similar to that of the knights of the Inner Palace.
He intends to gallop on the battlefield one more time before he is completely old, and not leave himself with regrets, after all, he has not been on the battlefield for more than ten years.
