Chapter 319: Defection

Seeing William looking at himself and the others with malicious intent, these six nobles were a little weak-hearted, and they were afraid that William would find out about the calculation of the others.

"What's the matter? Dear Earl? ”

A baron said.

William looked at the six of them, smiled, and then said, "Well, I hope you six can help me test the enemy's situation first, but don't worry, after the battle is over, I will give you a satisfactory reward!" ”

These six nobles listened to William's words, and their hearts suddenly began to feel uneasy, in their opinion, didn't William do this because he was not worried about himself and others?

It is necessary to allow yourself to consume the strength of the enemy, and if you lose both, and if you and others refuse, then William can justifiably control them.

"This ......"

The nobles glanced at each other, and they all hesitated, after all, it was their own strength, and they really didn't want to lose too much.

"What? You don't want to? ”

William frowned, and his tone began to become stern, even questioning.

At this moment, everyone else also saw what William meant, after all, when fighting, the feudal lord wants to let his army take the lead, if you don't want to take the lead yourself, then let the vassals who are closest to you go, this is the custom.

And if this convention is followed, even if William himself does not plan to play, then at least one of Norwen and Hurim must be chosen, and even Lolitsa is a very good candidate.

But William didn't do this, but let six of his not close vassals take the lead, which was obviously ill-intentioned.

"No...... Of course not, we are more than happy to serve you, our Lord, the rightful ruler of Denlenburg, Count William of Denlenburg! ”

Baron Delbvison, as the strongest and most nimble nobleman among the six barons, immediately said to William.

The other five nobles also split up, agreeing with Del's words about Baron Mori.

"Good!" William nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then go ahead, lead your soldiers, and test the enemy's strength first, and I will definitely make up for and reward you accordingly!" ”

In this way, William watched in the camp as six nobles walked towards the enemy with more than a thousand elite armed infantry and more than sixty knights.

William watched them silently like this, it would be too dangerous to keep them in his camp like this, and they might be stabbed in the back at any time after the fight.

This is something that William cannot tolerate, so William asked them to take the lead first, even if they don't work, there is no threat.

In this way, they walked in the direction of the enemy under William's watchful eye.

Not only William was watching them, but even the Earl of Cansville was watching them.

Because the two sides had already reached an agreement to launch a flanking attack on William together, the Earl of Cansville resisted head-on, while they were behind William and caught him off guard.

But the current scene was something they didn't expect, they underestimated the ability of William's dark dagger to gather intelligence.

The distance between the two sides was shortening step by step, and the Earl of Canswell was also a little nervous, he was really afraid that these nobles would regret and oppose him.

In that case, all his plans would be wasted, and he now regretted that he had rushed out of the city to fight in the hope of victory.

But there was no turning back, he had to carry on his plan, and William would never allow them to escape back to the castle after they had already left the city.

He knew this very well.

"Archer, open the bow!"

The Earl of Cannesville said slowly, he had to guard against such a major matter.

William called him to his side and said to him, "Urimu, take your army and my light cavalry, and prepare for battle!" ”

"You don't worry about them?"

Urimu looked at the advancing aristocratic army and asked William.

"Hmm!" William: "I'm afraid that they will attack us in turn, you have to be ready to attack at any time, your armor is not too good, so don't charge directly into battle and harass them with your riding bows!" ”

Although William knew that the tactical literacy of the light cavalry far exceeded his own, he still told him with some unease.

"Oh, don't worry! I don't know this? ”

Urimu said impatiently.

Then, he left William's side and went to mobilize the light cavalry to prepare for battle.

And Norwen also came to William's side at this time, as the commander of the knights and heavy cavalry, Norwen also had to make them ready to charge at any time.

Sure enough, the six nobles did lead their army forward for a while, but before they could get within range of the enemy's bow and arrow, they turned around at the command of their master and turned to William's side.

Such a move, without any thought, you can know that they have defected, and this is a defection.

In fact, they are not to blame, it is true that William did a bit of a treacherous, although he banned the rights of all the nobles of Denlenburg, but the treatment of these six nobles is indeed different from that of Norwen.

Baron Merlin, Baron Byer, Lolitsa, none of them have received more help and aid than they do.

Having lost their rights, received little aid, and did not get the compensation they deserved, coupled with the mentality that people do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, their dissatisfaction with William is getting worse day by day.

Seeing their defection, the Earl of Cansville couldn't help but smile, at this moment, their chances of winning were a lot more, and their number had reached about seven thousand, nearly eight thousand, while William's side was only more than five thousand.

William was not very surprised by their defection, after all, he had already gotten the news.

"Tell Hurim to let him take the light cavalry and attack!"

William said to the heralds beside him, the current heralds no longer need to run around like before, but stand on a high platform, doing the flag that William prescribed.

"Warriors! The Earl, let's attack! Annihilate this group of traitors! For the favor of the Earl, for the reward of the Earl, charge with me! ”

He has been by William's side for so many years, and he has learned the ability to boost morale, and this simple language motivates him to do it.

"Kill them all!"

"For the Earl's sake! For the reward! ”

"Kill all the damned traitors!"

The hussars were all made up of Chekers, and they had some blood and jealousy in their bones, and they hated traitors.

They shouted impassioned slogans, raised their improved recurve composite bows, and rushed in the direction of the enemy with the wood.
