Chapter 188: Attack in the Night

In the darkness of the night, a large group of people under the city wall moved under the cover of darkness, and poured along the ladders and wells towards the city wall.

At this time, William and the three rushed out of the room, just in time to find the bands of soldiers assembled under the command of their commander.

They stood in the middle of the road in a neat line in columns, as did the knights, heavy cavalry, and heavy infantry, and the archers lived on the towers.

William looked up the city wall and saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary, and the soldiers were calmly and faithfully guarding their duties in the light of the torches.

William knew very well that if it wasn't the enemy here, it must be the other walls.

Unexpectedly, he miscalculated, he thought that the enemy would not attack again in two days, and the enemy did not follow his train of thought at all.

It was tantamount to a heavy slap in the face in the future, a hot pain, although he hadn't told anyone else, but he thought he had a good knowledge of war, and this was to disprove his speculation.

His face was gloomy, but no one could see it in the helmet.

"One, two, three columns, heavy infantry, knights, trainee knights, follow me! The others go back to their rooms to rest! ”

With that, William walked up to the wall, and the soldiers followed in his footsteps and walked up to the wall.

After going up to the arrow tower, William saw the situation clearly, and it turned out that the wall that Baron Baier and the other four barons were responsible for defending on the back was attacked by the enemy.

And the well also appeared over there, and the enemies below the castle were conservatively estimated to be more than 3,000 people.

"Don't they really need supplies? Are they confident that they will be able to storm Laughlinburg in two days? William stood in the tower, his eyes squinting in thought.

It is very difficult to capture a castle, especially when there are enough defenders and food inside, and most of the siege battles will besiege the city for more than a month, or even months, or even years at most.

Laughlinburg, on the other hand, is a town because it is inhabited by people, so its defense is not as good as a simple military fortress.

But even so, it is impossible to capture Laughlinburg for seven or eight days, and generally siege battles must first wear down the morale and strength of the defenders before they can be conquered, and it is too rare to think about the enemy.

William subconsciously pushed his helmet and walked down the arrow tower, where he had seen the situation clearly, and quick support at will was the top priority.

"It's the northern wall that has been attacked, and the enemy seems to be numerous, and we must go to their aid now!" William shouted so loudly that everyone could hear what he said.

Led by William, the Manders trotted toward the northern walls, their half-iron legarmours stomping on the walls.

The armor on their scales made a slight noise as they ran, and some of the heavy infantry fell behind because of the heavy armor on their bodies.

The armor on the knights was not light, so William slowed down, after all, if he consumed too much physical strength, he would face a great test when fighting.

What's more, there are also four barons' subordinates on the back wall, and the defenders of more than 600 people will definitely not fall for a while and a half.

"Damn! These damn pigs! How dare they attack us at night! ”

A baron stood on the rampart and cursed, and his unpleasant shouting could be heard far away because he was not wearing a helmet.

"Oh, be careful, Baron Busseau!" Baron Bair pulled the Queen of Baron Busso suddenly, and an arrow flew past Baron Busso's ear with a whizz.

"Ahh This bunch of damn pigs...... Pigs, how dare they do this to me! Baron Busso sat on the ground, still scolding unrelentingly.

"All right, Baron Busso! I think you'd better put your helmet on first! Baron Bair looked at Baron Busso with a look of disgust and interrupted his scolding.

For this Baron Busso, Baron Bair is full of disgust, his actions are rude, and he has no brains, he is a reckless man.

However, due to the relationship between the nobles, Baron Baier has always kept this emotion in his heart and never showed it on his face.

"My lord, there are too many enemies, and they all seem to be elite armed infantry, and our soldiers are a little difficult to deal with!"

A knight ran up to Baron Byer and said with some anxiety.

"Let's build all the knights and go into battle, otherwise the enemy will really climb the wall!" Baron Bayer looked at the other three barons and said.

At this time, the enemy's offensive was still continuing at the step of ascending the city wall, and they only opened a small area on the wall for fighting, and the rest of the place was still occupied by the soldiers of Denlenburg.

The other three barons hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, after all, they were their most elite combat power, and they were a little bottomless when it came to battle.

However, if you don't go into battle, you may be further broken through by the enemy, so you have to put the knights into battle.

Unfortunately, even though the knights were engaged in the battle, they could not stop the enemy, who had already taken up a foothold on the city walls, and the enemies below the walls continued to pour upwards.

"Damn, there are more and more enemies, why haven't our reinforcements come yet?" Baron Bayer said anxiously in his heart as he watched the battle situation.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and it was very harsh at this time.

Baron Byer looked to the side, just in time to see William's presence.

Looking at the black cross shirt on a white background on the person in the front, he immediately recognized that it was William.

"Our reinforcements have arrived! Give me the hard work! Baron Bair drew his sword and shouted loudly.

William rushed to the city walls with his men and immediately went into battle, and the heavy infantry and knights worked together to strangle the enemy's foothold on the walls.

The Manders infantry were on the sidelines, while the defenders were reduced to a second-line force, far less threatening to the enemy than the Menders army.

At this time, the city walls were being fought with heavy infantry and knights as the core, and the Mandean infantry as the auxiliary.

The enemy's leather and iron-clad armor could not withstand the battle axes of the heavy infantry at all, nor could they withstand the hammer swords of the knights, and only weakened the spears of some of the Manders infantry.

Soon, the enemy was defeated and retreated, this is the advantage of defending the city, don't look at the number of enemies, but there are only more than a hundred people on the city wall.

As long as they can't withstand the attack, they will soon be driven off the city walls.

At this time, reinforcements from other directions also arrived, and the commander below the castle looked at the situation above the city wall, and there was no place to stay, and it was a complete waste of success, so he gave up the idea of continuing the attack and withdrew his troops.

In this way, after leaving behind more than 700 corpses, they left the city wall and walked away, disappearing into the darkness.
