Chapter XXXVIII

The danger on the city wall was lifted, and the count ordered the levies to clean up, and arranged for dozens of knights to defend the city wall, and the rest of the knights scattered and returned to their resting place.

William frowned and walked down the city wall, the blood flowing from the corpse had reached the stairs, stepping on it and crackling, the battle situation was really not optimistic, the number of Chekels outside was large, it was twice as many as the defenders in the city, they could completely consume the defenders in wheel warfare, and their own side could only defend passively, and in the long run, the castle would inevitably fall.

Although he had burned the enemy's grain and grass, the remaining grain and grass was still enough for them to support them for eight or nine days, and they lost more than 600 people in just one day, so how could they survive the remaining seven or eight days.

"No, we have to come up with a trick!" William thought in his heart, in fact, as a knight, he didn't need to worry so much, but his thinking was different, if the count was defeated, then it would definitely not be good for him to follow.

William walked on the road, chatting with the two absentmindedly, but in his heart he was thinking of countermeasures.

"Beauty tricks? No, what about a chain strike? What is this? William was thinking wildly, and all kinds of legendary schemes flashed in his mind.

But in the end, he was eliminated by himself, and there was no feasibility at all, he knew it himself.

"There it is!" William suddenly shouted, and an idea popped up in his heart, his favorite when watching the Three Kingdoms was this paragraph, Zhuge Wuhou turned the tide of the war with his own strength, he also wanted to be Zhuge Wuhou once, maybe this section will also be sung by future generations.

Seeing the strange expressions of Urimu and Norwen, William smiled and said, "Don't go back yet, I'm going to see the earl, and I have another way to repel the enemy!" He pretended to be profound, and said that he lived like a god, oh no, he was a half-immortal.

"Do you have a solution?" The two men poked their heads over and asked in unison.

"Of course, but I'll have to wait a while to tell you!" William bought a pass, and the whole person became more and more like a half-immortal.

The three of them did not go back to their rooms, but walked straight to the earl's study, and since it was not the first time they had come, they seemed to be familiar with the road.

When they reached the door, William said to the two, "You wait for me now, and then come out at once." ”

William knocked on the door three times, very rhythmically, and waited until the earl's deep voice sounded, and William pushed the door in.

The nobles and nobles were all present in the study, apparently holding a meeting, and William saluted the earl first, and then the other nobles.

"Huh? It's you! What's the matter? After William had greeted everyone, the Earl spoke, and when he saw that it was William again, he immediately asked, after all, William's night attack had impressed him too much last time.

"Excuse me, my lordship, I have a good way to defeat the Checkers, so I will come to the Earl at once and tell the Count of this plan." William said.

"What? What can you do? Let's hear it. "It seems that the last night raid had made such an impression on the Count that he was willing to listen to the plans of a little knight.

"Yes, I once read a book that recorded a war, which was a war in which one side was strong and the other side was weak, and it was very difficult for the weak side to hold the city walls, but there was a wise man among them, and the wise man told them a way for the wise commander, and that was to open the gates and expose the castle to the eyes of the enemy, and the commander of the enemy was also a wise man, but the commander was very suspicious, and when he saw the open castle, he thought that there must be a trap in it, so he did not attack, and that's it, Which side of the weaker persisted until the arrival of reinforcements! William briefly retold the empty city plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and said that the commander was wise, which can be regarded as bringing the current count into a sycophant.

After hearing this, the Count was thoughtful: "So, do you think we should use this method as well?" ”

"Yes, my lord, we learn the tactics in the book to open the city gates, but we don't have to scare the Chekels, we can really set a trap in the castle, if they are really frightened, then when their food and grass run out, they will naturally retreat, if they are not cautious and rush in directly, we can also rely on the ambush to defeat them!" William was very confident and said in a sonorous voice.

"So you're trying to pin the safety of the Castle Earl on your clumsy plans that don't make sense?" A caustic voice rang out, and sure enough, it was Baron Dale again, this guy was far from being as reliable and faithful as he seemed, but rather a mean man.

William didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said directly to the earl: "My lord, we can concentrate all the oil in the castle and put it in the square behind the city gate, once the enemy comes in, we can set fire to them, if you still don't think it's safe, Lord Earl, you can also appoint a person to lead the soldiers to ambush outside the city, once the enemy enters the city, we can attack on both sides."

The Count twisted his beard and was silent, thinking about something.

"Wow, you're impossible!" Baron Dale once again mocked, in fact, he did not find the flaw of William's plan at all, if the enemy's grain and grass were not burned, he wondered that this plan would not be realized, and slowly consumed the dead defenders, forty or fifty thousand people gathered in the castle, even if the food supply was not a problem, there would definitely be diseases after a long time, but the problem was that the first situation was that the army in the outer city of the city was short of food.

Dale's evaluation in William's eyes is getting lower and lower, he is simply a brain-dead, he can't find the flaws of the plan and has no brains to mock, isn't this self-inflicted, didn't he train his muscles into his brain, right?

"So what do you think you should do?" William asked softly.

"Of course, hold on to the castle, our castle is not something that the Cerkers can easily break, after a long time, they will definitely retreat on their own!" Baron Dale said assumedly.

Although Baron Comos is a good man, he is not ambiguous at this time, William's status is not as high as the other party, and he has concerns, but he does not.

"Dear Baron Dale, I really doubt your IQ now, you haven't found out the flaws in Sir William's plan at all, and you're still talking nonsense here, and you've come up with a plan that isn't a plan, is it that your brain is lost or do you don't want Lord Earl to win at all?"

"I think that's the case, maybe it's at the behest of some people, maybe the Chekers can get some benefits if they win some people!" Viscount Raul also spoke, and when he really hit the little one and provoked the old one, William's two superiors all opened their mouths in support.

Baron Dale and Viscount Cowen immediately blushed, this big hat was not for fun, they were furious at the moment, and even had a tendency to do it.

Viscount Winston was the neutral of the three viscounts under the earl, and he and his barons began to fight, and several of the earl's direct barons also persuaded him.

"That's it! Shut up! When am I? Do you still have me in your eyes? The Count slapped the table and roared angrily.

Everyone immediately bowed down and apologized, and then the count's face calmed down, and said, "I have already thought of a battle plan!" With that, he glanced at everyone's expressions.

The dozen or so people present immediately held their breath, especially the people on the two sides of Viscount Raul and Viscount Cowen, if the Count adopted either side's plan, it would be a major blow to the other side.

"I have decided, with Sir William's plan, that if we just hold the castle, it will be difficult for us to hold the castle under the frenzied attack of the Chekers, I must admit that." The Earl said solemnly.

"Do you have any objections?" The Earl's practice suddenly became stern, and although the tone was inquiring, if anyone really objected at this time, his brain would have been kicked by a donkey.

"Let's deploy it now, Sir William is in charge of this matter, send out 500 armed infantry and 200 knights, ambush outside the castle, when will you get out of the city...... Let our "wise man" Sir William decide. The Earl said.

"Thank you very much for your trust, Lord Count!" William quickly knelt down on one knee and stroked his chest and said.

William didn't expect this kind of thing to fall on him at all, after all, he was just a nobody before he burned down the enemy's granary, an ordinary knight, even if he didn't have the enemy's granary, it was just a little famous, such a thing William thought that at least he thought that the viscount led the team, but he didn't need to shirk such a good thing, he was confident in his plan.

"Lord Earl, I hope to go out of the city now, the Chekels have just attacked at night, they will definitely relax their vigilance, we can take advantage of this time to counterattack them, although the soldiers may not be able to see clearly at night, but the enemy is the same, we can take advantage of the sneak attack, and then stay outside the city." William went on to suggest that he felt more and more like a strategist, and in the language of his previous life, he was floating.
