Chapter 306: March

The spring breeze fluttered slightly in May, and it was very refreshing to blow on people's bodies, but in this season that should have been incomparably necessary, a solemn aura that should not have appeared was revealed.

King Brolin and his army, plus the army assembled by the nobles, all gathered together, and more than 20,000 people marched to Cancherinburg, the capital of the Duchy of Bunkerson.

Looking at the small castle with only a few defenders in front of him, King Brolin frowned, because along the way, whether he burned and looted or searched for the enemy, he could not find more than a hundred enemy troops.

Even the small castle in front of you, the defenders in it will definitely not exceed a hundred people, you know, even if it is a small castle, as a defensive structure that can bear the name of the castle, it is definitely not an ordinary house.

His defenses, towers, stones, and the ability to defend and attack are all present here.

Not to mention that there were very few people in the castle in front of them, even in the places they had passed before, in those dense outposts and small fortresses or manors, the most defenders were only one or twenty people, and most of them were empty.

Not only that, but even the inhabitants of the neighborhood were much less, and about half of the villages were empty, although the impact on their supplies was not particularly great, but this unusual situation still made King Brolin feel that there was a conspiracy.

"General Yousen, what do you think about this situation?"

King Brolin looked at General Yousen, who walked behind him, and said shamelessly without caring about the face of His Majesty the King.

General Youssen's eyes narrowed, and King Brolin's actions made him very happy, and he thought that he had not seen the wrong person.

If it weren't for King Brolin's humble and studious character back then, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many nobles supporting him, after all, Duke Bunkerson was in the kingdom all the year round at that time, and King Brolin had traveled for three years, and Duke Bunkerson was more dominant, and General Yousen was one of King Brolin's supporters, and he was also the most weighty supporter.

Looking at the situation on the castle, General Yousen smiled and said respectfully to King Brolin: "Your Majesty, this is very simple, Duke Bunkerson wants to gather all his forces to defend his capital Cancherin!" ”

"Hmm!" King Brolin nodded in understanding, he knew about this common sense, but he wanted something more useful.

"This was very common during the War of the Four Kingdoms, and I remember that there was a lord of the kingdom of Ribourne, who gave up all his territory, gathered all his forces in his castle, and persuaded his vassals to defend in the castle as well, and in this way, they dragged a team of three thousand men of our kingdom of Tskema for half a month with a force of eight hundred men, and in this way, in that battle we fell into a disadvantage, We lost about 5,000 levies and 1,500 armed infantry. ”

Speaking of that tragic scene, General Yousen still has lingering palpitations.

"So, we have that possibility now?" King Brolin asked, though he was not ignorant of warfare, but he was also a layman.

"No, it's impossible, they don't have any strategic intentions, and the situation is not as complicated as it was then, I guess they mean to hold on to the castle, but it doesn't rule out that they have foreign help!"

After hearing this, King Brolin's face was obviously much more ugly, in fact, King Brolin's well-developed spy network had received news that the Kingdom of Ribon and the Church might want to launch support for Duke Bunkerson.

He took a deep breath, looked at the vultures that were flying by in the sky and were hovering around, turned his head to General Yousen and said, "General Yousen, here's the thing, according to the information I have received, the Kingdom of Ribone and the Church may have to launch a certain level of support for the Duchy of Bunkerson!" ”

"Hmm......" General Yousen nodded, he had also heard some rumors, and the information he had received had also received some rumors, so he was not particularly surprised.

"But we're not afraid of them, are we, as long as the Church doesn't send their Templar Order, we have nothing to fear, and as for the Kingdom of Ribourne, it's just our men's defeats, and they haven't even recovered to the strength they had fought with us last time, so why should we be afraid?"

"What's more, don't we still have the support of our ally, the White Rose Kingdom?"

General Yousen was confident at this time, and as a veteran of many years of battle, he had no fear of any enemy.

"Besides, I think Count William can also surprise us, Your Majesty, you also see the army under his command, it is a very strong army!"

Speaking of this, a trace of worry flashed on General Yousen's face, he was really a little worried about the expansion of William's strength, so he used this method to remind King Brolin.

Of course, the king could also hear it, nodded and said, "Yes, his strength is very strong, and I believe he will play a huge role in this war!" ”

"Alright, General Yousen, let the soldiers attack, I hope I will be able to enter this castle in an hour and drink a cup of mellow clar tea!"

The vultures in the sky were still circling, and the small creatures on the ground were fleeing, so they were calculating whether these dense and large creatures on the ground could be used as their own food.

However, out of caution, they did not choose to swoop down to hunt, and this caution saved their lives, but no matter how cautious they were, the defenders inside the castle would not be spared, even if they opened the gates themselves and surrendered.

Soon, in less than an hour, in just twenty minutes, King Brolin's elite soldiers in improvised iron armor conquered the castle.

No matter how much the defenders struggled and resisted, they could not stir up a little wave, and the army of King Brolin was like a basin of water poured on a small flame, and it was destroyed in an instant.

King Brolin ordered the soldiers to start resting in place, and only a small number of extremely elite soldiers were allowed to enter the castle to rest, after all, more than 20,000 people and the supplies they carried were really not a small number.

Early the next morning, King Brolin left the castle with his army and the troops of the nobles, and continued on his way to Cancherinburg, the capital of the Duchy of Bunkerson.

After more than ten days of marching, they finally reached the bottom of Cancherinburg, and the enemy had already prepared for it, clearing the surrounding villages or manors early, and even the nearby residents were withdrawn into the castle by them, fearing that the king's army would get supplies from them.

William, on the other hand, was carrying out a protracted bombardment of the underside of Issamdenburg and besieging the castle so that they could not be resupplied in order to force the enemy to surrender.
