Over the next four days, William repeated his old tactics and destroyed more than 3,000 enemies, but most of them were light infantry composed of serfs, who were probably only assigned to plunder food, and the armed infantry of the brigade and the second group of church troops were never encountered again.

However, as the enemy's large forces approached, the number of enemies appeared more and more, and the speed of William's back and forth was also a little overwhelming.

Many times it was only when the fortress was almost captured that William began to arrive, so on the sixth day, William went directly to a place and asked the soldiers stationed inside to withdraw with the booty and physical goods.

His plan finally completed his mission after destroying many enemies.

On this expedition, the king of Bansel sent 12,000 soldiers to the commander of the troops, Dampier, of whom 5,000 were armed infantry, and the rest were light infantry made up of serfs.

Of course, if the royal family of the Kingdom of Ribone alone could not muster so many soldiers, this is the strength of all the nobles who he can mobilize in a short period of time, which is enough to account for half of the troops he can dispatch.

On the other side, General Yousen led the king's direct troops and struggled through the forest, the Fato Forest, which is a huge forest spanning three kingdoms, and the forests in William's territory are also part of this Fato Forest.

Deep in the woods, the soldiers marched with difficulty on the rugged mountain roads, and the knights also dismounted from their horses and led their horses on foot.

Arriving here, the carriage and war horses marched with great difficulty, and even General Yousen walked on foot.

"General, I heard that the Kingdom of Ribone has sent Dampier as the commander of the troops!" General Yousin was flanked by his young lieutenant, Baron Mouyaune.

Baron Mouyeune was the nephew of the current King Brolin, and his father died on his sickbed at a young age, as a strong candidate to support King Brolin, and his father's death was a major blow to King Brolin.

And after his father's death, he also grew up under the care of King Brolin, and was a die-hard loyalist of King Brolin, loyal.

He was sent as an adjutant, and it was not without the intention of spying on General Yousen, after all, such a large number of troops, in anyone's hands, the king would not be at ease.

"Yes, Dampier, that's an older man than me, my old rival!"

General Yousen smiled, his eyes full of nostalgia, as if he remembered the outbreak of the Four-Nation War in the region decades ago.

General Youssen was in a state of remembrance, but he soon came to his senses and said, "I must tell the soldiers to move quickly, the enemy will not pass through a rugged mountain road like mine, and perhaps by this time they will have reached the city of Laughlinburg!" ”

"Okay lord, I'll rush you, but even if we speed up, it will take seven days to get out of the Fato Forest, I'm afraid that by the time we arrive, Laughlin Bai will have already been captured by the enemy."

"Hehe, young man, you still have a lot to learn, we have to believe in our comrades-in-arms, I have also fought side by side with Count Denlenburg, although his command is not very good, but he is a very safe person!"

"It is still possible to defend a castle, not to mention, even if we are in a hurry, it is useless, the speed of the march will still not change much, if we are too anxious, it will make us lose our clear mind!"

General Yousen smiled and instilled this knowledge in Baron Muyorne, his gray sideburns stained with years of wisdom, and the sparse wrinkles in the corners of his eyes stored the knowledge accumulated from countless wars.

"Besides, isn't there a little guy named William under the Count of Loire, I heard that he has a lot of ghost ideas, so there is no need to worry so much!"

As General Youssen said, the enemy's large forces had indeed reached the Laughlinburg and began to build siege equipment.

Luckily, the castle was well prepared, they had brought some archers with them when they arrived, and most of the people inside had been captured in the castle when they plundered the village.

During this time, the Count had more than 400 hunters found in it, and distributed hunting bows to them, plus the archers brought by the nobles of Denlenburg, there were 1,000 archers that could be used to defend the city.

Although the arrows they fired did not do much damage to knights or even armed infantry, they were still quite lethal to light infantry.

Now William's policy is to shrink, although the first six days inflicted a lot of losses on the enemy, but the number of enemies is still far outnumbered, and it is not feasible to fight hard.

"What do you all eat? Let the enemy take advantage of such a big loophole! ”

General Dampier was furious with the nobles and commanders below in his tent, and as soon as he arrived, he was inflicted losses of more than 3,000 by the enemy.

It was a great shame for him, and his bald head, which had not had a single hair, was bulging with breath, and he was panting.

"So, not only have you been annihilated by the enemy more than 3,000 people, but you haven't even found food?" Dampier adjusted his mood and asked with a gloomy face.

As soon as he asked, everyone immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer at all.

General Dampier looked at their movements, and still didn't understand, and shouted loudly: "Tell me, isn't it!" ”

"Yes, my lord, they have plundered all the dozens of villages in the surrounding area, and not even a single villager has been seen in the entire village!"

General Dampier was so angry that he couldn't speak, took a deep breath, and didn't say anything more.

"Send people, send people to collect food farther away, and we'll test the enemy's defense now!"

With that, General Dampier led the nobles out of the camp and began to mobilize soldiers to prepare for battle.

More than 1,000 poorly equipped light infantry were thus pushed out of the camp and used as the first batch of cannon fodder troops to experiment with defending the city to escape the heat.

A sharp whistle sounded, echoing over the walls of Laughlinburg: "The enemy is storming the city!" Get ready for battle! ”

One of the officers of the Mandes infantry noticed an anomaly below the city wall and hurriedly blew the whistle around his neck, calling all the Mandes infantry on the wall.

And this whistle also alarmed the officers on the city wall, and William deployed a column of sixty men of the Mandes infantry on the city wall.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the city wall, and the herald also ran down the city wall to report the situation on the city wall.

"Hurry, hurry! Archers run forward! Immediately go to the city wall and deploy, wait for the order! ”

William had one hundred and fifty archers trained under his command trot up the walls, and then he and Urimu hurried to the walls with the recruited hunters.

In order to be able to recruit them smoothly, the Count promised them the price of five copper coins, and only then did he successfully recruit them into the army.

Soon, more than five hundred archers appeared on the city walls, and with the exception of one hundred and fifty Manders archers, they were all holding inferior hunting bows, which were very close in range and not very lethal.
