Chapter 604: Catch it all

After a month, the ship finally reached the shore of the territory of the Kingdom of Carmelot.

Arthur has arranged a very high welcome profile here, because this is the colonial governor of the Kingdom of Lorik after all, so he must not be slack.

Baron Nair was greeted to Camelot City, and even the troubled Arthur took the time to meet him, but the next day, he left Camelot City with his retinue and knights and set out on his way back to the kingdom of Lorrik.

He sat in a luxurious carriage, a treatment for which he was entitled as a former colonial governor.

On the other side, under Fort Kusen, the counterinsurgency army was already in motion, with archers and crossbowmen firing rhythmically at the walls, preventing their archers from counterattacking.

Ballistas, trebuchets, and ballistae were all frantically pouring fire on the walls.

It was the first time that the defenders of the castle really faced the formidable firepower of the counterinsurgency army.

Their morale was shattered in an instant, and the nobles in the castle were also facing the true power of the king for the first time.

If they had known before the rebellion that His Majesty had such great power, they would never have made the stupid decision to rebel.

But now it's too late to say anything, it's already happening, and their only hope now is to be able to stall for time and then the counterinsurgency army retreats.

But looking at such a powerful private enemy in front of them, they knew that the chance of being able to delay was very slim.

During the half-hour bombardment, many soldiers were killed in these covering attacks.

They were either killed by arrows or by huge stones that fell from the sky, and those who were killed by the stones looked miserable, either crushed into a puddle of flesh or smashed through their heads by small stones that jumped up.

Not to mention the enemies that are pierced by the giant ballistas, which are so powerful that once several people stand together, they can all be pierced and pinned to the wall.

This is the case now, there are a lot of crossbow guns on the city wall, and there are even several people on the crossbow guns who have been pierced together, but they have not lost their vital signs, and they are spitting blood from their mouths.

Blood stimulates everyone's heart, arousing either bloodlust or timidity in their hearts.

However, most of the rebels were motivated by cowardice, because they could not help but be afraid when they saw such a terrible offensive situation.

As for the counterinsurgency army, their hearts are full of bloodlust and desire to fight, and they are eager to rush to the city wall and fight a hearty battle with the enemy now.

Finally, this long-range coverage that brought a lot of battle to the enemy was over, and the counterinsurgency army had already been prepared, and all of them had entered the well and were ready to standby.

The archers on the well were not withdrawn, they were well rested, and when the rebel army attacked the wall, they would cover it with arrows and let them climb the wall without any problems.

The well was slowly advancing to the edge of the wall, and when the planks on the wall were successfully placed, the counterinsurgency army began to charge.

They followed the wooden planks climbed by the ladder inside the well, and walked with heavy steps towards the city wall.

Their steps were very steady, and they maintained a basic battle formation in groups of three with their comrades, and the armor on their bodies brought them a lot of burden.

But none of them will feel resentful or complain about this, they have made these burdens smaller because of their training, and besides, it is something that can save their lives on the battlefield, and it is too late for them to cherish it.

The armor on their bodies allows them to fight their enemies with almost impunity, without worrying too much about being killed by enemy weapons.

Although they advanced in an orderly manner, this did not mean that they were moving slowly, and soon they reached the edge of the city wall.

At this time, the archers also stopped shooting, and after the sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air stopped, the defenders on the city wall quickly poked their heads out to check the situation.

But when they just looked in, they suddenly found that the sunlight in the sky was blocked, and several huge and cold figures appeared in front of them.

They were just about to let out a roar, but a long sword was sent into their throats, causing the blood inside to spurt out in an instant, and he desperately tried to stop the blood spurting out, but his hands were never able to block the separated artery.

Eventually, he fell to the ground, making a thumping sound in his throat and slowly losing his vital signs.

But his death was nothing, because when the counterinsurgency army came up, there were a large number of casualties in an instant.

Because this is the place where the royal army is responsible for the main attack, if these miscellaneous fish army can build an army with William's heavy money, then there is no need for these royal army armies to exist.

And the army of the vassals is also quite strong, of course, this refers only to those veteran vassals who have followed William for a long time.

Recently, the newly recruited vassals and some blood vassals did not have such a strong fighting power, and they only had some serfs or veterans who had been recruited in the territory to form an army.

Of course, the combat effectiveness is much inferior, and the combat effectiveness of the old vassals is much stronger, their soldiers can basically achieve one iron armor per person, and officers or elite soldiers can even achieve double iron armor.

In addition, William would send some veterans to teach their troops every year, so their combat effectiveness was also very strong.

On the city wall without the royal army, they are the main force of the battle, and the army of the new nobles is the role of soy sauce.

However, their battle also went very smoothly, they can almost be said to be a copy or a weak version of the royal army, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong.

They killed and wounded a large number of enemies, and although the enemy desperately resisted, all this was just a joke in the face of absolute strength.

They slashed their weapons at the enemy with all their might, but they sadly found that no matter how hard they slashed the enemy, they could not break through the enemy's armor.

The defense of the two and a half layers of heavy armor is simply desperate, most of them can only break through the surface of the armor, and they can only do anything against the scale armor and chain mail inside, let alone the cotton armor lining the inside.

Only some heavy equipment could inflict effective damage on them, and under such an attack, the defenders on the city walls only resisted for a moment before being instantly routed by the counterinsurgency army.

They scattered in groups to attack all parts of the castle.

The rebels in the city had long been frightened by the strong combat effectiveness and sophisticated equipment of the counterinsurgency army, and they did not dare to fight against the rebel army at all, so they could only scatter and run to the place they thought was safe.

The nobles in the city were also quite flustered, and they gathered in front of the previous earl to ask for help.
