Chapter 108: Accident
Baron Bair actually had a lot of scars on his body, but none of them were fatal, so now he was directing the lightly wounded or uninjured soldiers to clean the walls.
After a battle, the Manders infantry can resume service after the war, it is estimated that only more than 100 people, the heavy infantry is the remaining 189 people who can continue to serve, and the rest are disabled or killed, the situation of the Golden Lion Guards is similar, and these people can only help train and guide the militia in the village during the slack time in the future.
As for the knights, eight were killed, four of the Manders knights alone were killed, two were disabled, and the rest were minor injuries, and serious injuries are estimated to be able to be healed, while Baron Bayer's knightly equipment is not as good as the Mendes knights, and the casualties are also greater.
In general, after a war, the army of William and Baron Bair lost more than half of it, and only a hundred people were able to fight again, and if the defeat was not compensated, it would be a loss.
However, Viscount Lausas is not comfortable, the army under his direct command is estimated to be more than three hundred people left, this is still plus the few light infantry left, and the various barons are similar, each person can have dozens or hundreds of people left, and the number of troops that Viscount Lausas can use is only five or six hundred, which is five times smaller than before he came.
Of course, most of these five times were serfs, and as long as there was enough time to replenish them, it was not too difficult, and in his opinion, as long as they could win, the population gained on Denlenburg would be able to make up for the losses.
While preparations were in full swing in William's room, another medic with two of his apprentices was healing the others, the knights first, the heavy infantry second, the armed infantry behind, and the squire's army, the light infantry, and the town guard last.
"Hold the grass!" William was suddenly attacked, and subconsciously said the national scolding of his previous life, but fortunately, because he knew that he was quite painful at this time, he did not express surprise.
doesn't blow or black, William's heart is dead now, and he was also burned when he was a child, but those burns have never felt as painful as they do now.
First of all, a cylindrical soldering iron made a similar suturing action to the wound, and the red-hot soldering iron touched the skin on his hand in this way.
When the soldering iron touched his skin, it was a puff of white smoke, and the sound was like roasting meat, and it took more than two minutes for the two narrow wounds to be treated.
If it weren't for Norwen and Hulimu holding William down, I'm afraid he would have jumped up and whipped the quack doctor in front of him a long time ago.
Just when William saw the doctor put down the soldering iron, thinking that he was saved, he saw that the doctor picked up a larger soldering iron and approached William's side with green smoke.
"You! Get the hell out of here! You quack! I'll kill you! I don't care about you! William's body struggled violently, and even the freshly scalded wound showed signs of cracking.
He roared like an angry lion, and the screams and roars even reached the city walls.
"Norwen! Urimu! Let me go! Let me go! ”
"Ahhh William screamed heartbreakingly, the soldering iron in the doctor's hand was quite thick, and he was using this thing to give William a second treatment, so that the wound "healed" more completely.
Two minutes later, William was dying and wailing, and the doctor soaked the soldering iron in the bucket of prepared water.
"I ...... I'm going to kill him! William said in a weak voice as he lay on the bed.
"Don't be like this, William, he's a doctor, you can take care of your wounds, and soon your wounds will heal!" Norwin persuaded beside him.
"Tut-tut, I didn't expect you to be afraid of pain, William, I suffered a lot more injuries than you when I was a child, and it's not a shame to scream so loudly!" The friend of Urimu was sneering beside him.
"Fart! Damn it, you let the damn quack doctor treat you, it hurts to death! William said through gritted teeth.
Urimu laughed beside him, ignoring what William said.
After treating William, the physician bowed and walked out of the room with his toolbox, ready to begin treating the wounds of the soldiers.
The soldiers listened to William's wails of pain, and were a little panicked about the upcoming treatment, but the desire for life outweighed the fear of pain, so they lined up to wait for treatment.
The northern hinterland of Denlenburg.
"My lord, according to the report of our intelligence officers, the army of the Earl of Gunsville has set off and will arrive in Sutton in three or four days!" Clerk Ruggie, riding on his horse and holding a parchment report in his hand, walked up to the Count and said to him.
"What? How could he have left so early? Is it to catch us off guard? The Count asked in surprise.
"It should be Lord Earl, our intelligence officer said that the defense of the Imsaden area is very strict, and the entry and exit of merchants have begun to be restricted, so it is quite difficult to transmit information, so we will be so passive!" Secretary Lu Ji said expressionlessly.
"How far are we from Denlenburg? How many days is it coming? The Count inquired to Registrar Ruggie.
"According to the current speed of our march, it will take about seven or eight days to reach Sutton Town, mainly because the light infantry is marching too slowly, and they are always distracted by various things!"
"Seven or eight days! Do you think William and Bayer will be able to hold out for three or four days? The Count asked subconsciously, but he quickly reacted.
"It should be undefinable, Viscount Lausas's military strength is quite strong, although his vassals are not very obedient, but this is also the reason why his military strength is strong, if they attack the city with all their might, it is very difficult to defend the city, after all, the walls of Sutton Town are not tall and heavy, and the two of them only brought more than a thousand people!" The clerk of Ruggie reported his speculation to the Count.
"Tsk!" The Earl rubbed his face in annoyance, looking at the mighty troops behind him, as well as the huge baggage troops, it was obvious that they could not increase the speed of the march under such a burden.
But the Earl was well aware of the consequences of the loss of Sutton, so it was very difficult for him to make a decision now.
"Forget it, gather the vassals, let them bring the knights and gather with me!" The Earl said.
A moment later, the nobles and their knights began to gather at the Earl's side.
"Gentlemen, where is Sutton, Baron William and Baron Byer are currently garrisoned, they should have withstood the enemy's attack, because I have not received the news of the fall of Suttonburg until now!"
"But just now I got the news that the despicable Earl of Gunsville had set out ahead of schedule, and before we could get the news, he had already traveled three or four days to Suttontown!"
"The Earl of Consville has brought more than 4,000 men! Baron William, how can they stand it? But it will take us at least seven or eight days to reach Sutton now, and by the time we get there, Sutton will definitely fall, so I hope that you can take the knights with me, leave behind these turtle-like light infantry and armed infantry teams, and we will march lightly, with only the elite knights, to support Suttonburg! ”
