"My lord, the enemy's resistance is very fierce, their soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained, and the soldiers who came back from the play said that they faced the other party's soldiers as if they were facing a whole, and they cooperated very tacitly."

Captain Senkos returned to his tent and gave him back the fighting power of the Manders infantry.

"Is that so? How many people do you think will be able to take down the enemy's walls? "Viscount Lausas did not hold him accountable for the defeat, after all, the purpose of his attack was to test the strength of the enemy, and now the purpose has been achieved.

"I don't think it's possible to capture less than a thousand people, and even a thousand people are not necessarily, after all, they still have follow-up troops." Captain Senkos groaned and uttered his speculation.

"That's it!" Viscount Lausas scratched his hair and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, which of you will be the first to attack the city tomorrow?" ”

Of course it was impossible for Baron Nair, he set his eyes on the remaining three barons who had played well, and when his eyes made contact with one person, that person quickly lowered his head, and all three of them finally lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Viscount Lausas was obviously not very happy, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, knocked on the table, and said: "Whoever captures this castle, I will give him thirty percent of the spoils!" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the three men, but they still kept their heads down and did not speak, obviously not wanting to do this drudgery.

Just kidding, more than 700 people didn't capture the city, and three or four hundred people were killed, how could his own army, which was only three or four hundred people, be able to capture it? Even if it is captured, will thirty percent of the loot make up for its losses?

What's more, the enemies in the castle are all heavily armoured, and such a short city wall will not allow the other party to have a gap in strength at all, as I saw just now, they have deployed such a dense number of troops on the city wall, they will not do anything like this.

Viscount Lausas obviously saw what they meant, although they were their own vassals, they couldn't force them, if their strength was not strong, it would be okay, but their strength was enough to subvert their own rule, so he had to find another way.

"In this way, I will let my troops attack the city first, a total of thirty ladders, I am responsible for fifteen, and you are responsible for five, how about it?"

The three barons looked at each other, their eyes glowing, but they didn't immediately agree, but remained silent.

"I'll also give thirty percent of the loot to the one of the three of you who will climb the wall first!" Viscount Lausas suppressed his anger, resisted the urge to roar, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely try our best to attack!" The three barons said at the same time, they showed hostile glances at each other, and none of them wanted the thirty percent of the loot to be snatched by others.

"Okay, you go and prepare first, in an hour prepare for the second siege, we are running out of food, we must storm the castle immediately to get supplies.

The three barons immediately began to prepare, and Baron Nair reluctantly walked out of the tent.

"A bunch of idiots!" Lausas looked at their backs and cursed in a low voice, they did have the strength to subvert their own rule before, but that was because they had united against themselves many times.

His father was a rather stupid nobleman, including his elder brother, and when his father was in power, he couldn't control this group of barons at all, and his grandfather's viscount domain, which had been very strong from the beginning, also weakened.

It was also at that time that the barons began to collude with each other to unite against orders issued by his father that were not in their interests.

Until his father "died of illness", he killed the first heir to the viscounty, his brother, the viscounty was in shambles, and he inherited the title for eight years, looking for opportunities to eradicate these barons.

Although he was quite shrewd, and many of his plans had worked, he was still not sure of eradicating them, and he took the initiative to ask the Count to let him be the striker, which was to consume part of their strength to preserve himself.

Originally, he didn't plan to have much effect, and some of the consumption was some, but he didn't expect that Nair, the strongest in the baron, would be wiped out after he went out, although this would make his strength weaker, but these people would be less of a threat to himself.

When the time comes, find a reason to weaken their strength, take back some territories, and at the same time use the recovered territories to canonize some more barons, and strike a balance, and the rule of him and his family will be stable.

This is the same as the Tui En Decree implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty, using their territory to promote some people, those people must be grateful to him, that is, his descendants, and the weakened barons will not have enough strength even if they are dissatisfied and want to resist at that time.

At this time, they were still calculating the small benefits of the star, and if they really moved forward bravely, the casualties would definitely be very large, and they would ...... directly when the time came

Half an hour later, almost all the soldiers in the camp had assembled.

"Captain Bovida! You lead your men to start the first siege, and if you lose more than fifty soldiers, I will pay you twenty silver coins each, so you have to attack hard! ”

This Bouvida is a mercenary captain hired by Viscount Lausas, and most of his men have a piece of leather armor, and some elites have iron armor, and the Ibsardon region in the hands of the Earl of Conceville is an iron-producing land.

"Don't worry, I'll let my men fight hard!" He said in a deep voice.

"Each of you is responsible for five ladders, remember the promise I made to you!" Viscount Lausas was afraid that they would not work hard, so he repeated the conditions he had offered.

But obviously, he is doing this too much, the barons can't wait to be the first to storm the city wall, not to mention anything else, just the iron armor of the soldiers above is a lot of money, even in the iron-producing Imsadenburg, can sell for fifty silver coins each, let alone the iron-deficient Denlenburg.

Looking at the barons who were scrambling to attack the city, Viscount Lausas had a puzzled smile on his face.

The barons ordered their soldiers to form a formation, with serfs at the front, who they arranged to drain the enemy's physical strength.

William held on to the battlements and looked at the enemy below, the soldiers on the city wall had been replaced by him just now, it was very important to maintain sufficient physical strength, and now the soldiers on the city wall were resting before.

Looking at the formation below, William's face was solemn, including the direct army of Viscount Lausas, as well as the army of his vassals, all placed under the castle.

And it looks like their knights, who are at the back of the line ready for battle.

To tell the truth, if the enemy's troops are one-on-one, he really doesn't care about them, even if they are mercenaries and armed infantry, they can't compare to the Manders infantry.

What really worried William was the sheer number of serfs, who could easily be killed if the soldiers were too physically exhausted.

Especially the enemy knights, each baron had a dozen knights behind him, all due to the inaction of Viscount Lausus's father.

And the phalanx of Viscount Lausas in the center, there are more than a hundred and nearly two hundred armed infantry in his phalanx, and there are more than thirty knights, not to mention anything else, the knights alone are quite a threat.
