Even after three days, Randy still finds it hard to believe.

He is a traverser, a resurrection, a future person, and an intellectual hero in the way of adding points! Intellect Heroes! Three-legged cat kung fu should not come forward to embarrass people.

But that's not the point right now, let the past pass.

Randy then began exchanging paper, pens, ink, and a set of advanced English proficiency from Enides.

"Host, the current situation is critical, do you want to exchange the following items?"

As soon as Enides sounded, as if to cooperate, a stone thrown by the catapult flew over Randy's head and smashed into the tower behind him, and then Randy was crossed by arms of the two frightened knights of the guard and ran to the side.

That's right, after the battle on the banks of the Thames that day, Randy's army was defeated, and there was no one in the 33,000 army, and more than tens of thousands of people were finally killed and captured in the war, but fortunately, in addition to Randy, the coalition army also had the dwarf king Wald, although Wald's sense of presence in the entire coalition army was getting lower and lower, and even the command of the dwarves was unknowingly deprived by Randy a little bit, but Wald still had the title of deputy marshal.

God's mercy, if it weren't for the efforts of this dwarf, the army that would eventually survive to Nottingham Castle would probably not even be 3,000 people.

The siege begins......

In keeping with her usual fiery style, King Arthur did not give the army time to recuperate, and according to her ideas, it was not too late to wait until Nottingham Castle was repaired.

In this way, the army was hastily reorganized, leaving one or two thousand soldiers to guard London to maintain order, and King Arthur led the Celtic army to chase north, and after a day and a night of forced marching, he arrived directly under Nottingham Castle and set up camp, looking like he planned to stay for a long time.

At this time, most of the British Isles have been unified by King Arthur, and Scotland in the north has just experienced a civil strife and has no time to take care of it, and Edward, the Black Duke, is ill-intentioned and not a good person, and the main forces are concentrated in the Kingdom of France, and he wants to intervene in the war in England on a large scale, but he is also willing but powerless.

"As long as the Vikings are defeated again, the whole of England can be united!"

Having said that, but this work is not simple, in the previous battle, the Celtic army also suffered heavy casualties, more than 4,000 killed, more than 5,000 seriously wounded, and tens of thousands of lightly wounded, because of the tragedy of the medical level in the Middle Ages, this number is still expanding, even if you barely survive, you can't return to the battlefield, so that the entire Celtic army is at least reduced by thirty percent.

Years of wars have made the Celtic Kingdom complain, and the men mobilized in this war are almost the young adults of the entire Celtic Kingdom, and now most of them have died like this after this war.

Although on the battlefield, Her Majesty used soldiers like mud, but now that I think about it, I feel a little heartbroken.

Therefore, the best thing to do now is not to storm, but to besiege. It's best to wait for the enemy to fail on his own.

But here's a small catch!

Nottingham's geographical location is very close to the North Sea......

In other words, the other side can get a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements from the waterway, so using the siege to break through this castle is tantamount to a fool's dream, maybe before the other party can hold on, the Celtic army has been unable to hold on first.

From the counterinsurgency war, to the Siege of Caernarfon, to the Siege of London, to the Battle of the Thames, and now to the Siege of Nottingham.

In just a few months, the Celtic army continued to fight in the British Isles, and there were countless large and small battles, and the method of forcibly suppressing King Arthur's personal prestige under the discouragement of the army seemed to be impossible.

But she was still unwilling, unwilling to let Randy go like this, after personally confronting Randy, the girl clearly understood that next time, the next time Randy has more adequate preparations, the United Kingdom, which is in trouble at home and abroad, will not be Randy's opponent anyway.

——————————

Nottingham ......

"As long as I recover, that girl is no match for me anyway."

Randy sat in Nottingham Castle and began to carefully calculate the resources in his hands.

"Recently, I have earned a lot of gold coins from burning and looting, plus three months of taxes, and the bonds accumulated from killing during this time, as long as I can escape this time, I can arm a stronger army in minutes."

At the same time, the United Kingdom quickly produced a pile of inferior stone throwers in a short period of time, and the Celtic army began to attack the city.

"Oops! If there are enough people, where will they be arrogant now? The Dwarven King Wald yelled, saying that his losses were much greater than Randy's, and the dwarven troops were very tough, and even in that situation, not many surrendered.

"Alright, stop complaining, go and see what parts of the city are broken and have your engineers fix it." Randy waved his hand and said to Wald as if he were greeting his younger brother.

"Oh!"

Although Randy's attitude was relatively bad, Wald felt that he was a head shorter in front of Randy for some reason, and ran down the city without distinguishing at all.

——————————

Go back to three days ago......

"It's all your fault!"

In Nottingham Castle, Randy joins the dwarven king Wald with the defeated 1,000 remnants of his defeated army, and before Wald can speak, the two argue.

Wald said in surprise: "How can you blame yourself for the failure of this battle? Although he didn't stop that girl, didn't Randy stop him either? The two sides are half a catty to eight taels, and no one can say anyone. ”

"If it weren't for the dwarves' terrible democracy, who are always asking for instructions, how much faster would we be marching? We would have taken London before King Arthur, even if it wasn't, as long as we had a day earlier, we would have been able to shorten their rest time a lot, and if the other side chose to defend the city, it would be easy to win the war with the dwarven siege engines, and if the other side chose to attack, we would have an advantage because of the lack of a day of rest. ”

After some specious words, Wald was directly confused, and then he heard Randy sigh softly, at this time, if he invented a cigarette, I am afraid that Randy would just light one if he couldn't do it.

"Forget it!"

Randy's words were full of vicissitudes, and he said, "Forget it, it's not your fault when it comes to it, the dwarven clan is traditionally like this, although it has killed so many Vikings and dwarven boys. ”

Being fooled by Randy, Walder suddenly feels extremely guilty, and at the same time begins to seriously consider reforming the system of dwarven society.

————————————

Time goes back to the present......

After a round of powerless trebuchet projection, the Celts rushed with a ladder, and then the city was boiling, tearing down all the houses in the city, and after obtaining a large amount of wood and masonry, there was no need to worry about defensive equipment.

Seeing that the other party's ladder with barbs couldn't be pushed up, Randy gave an order, and large stones were smashed down, and all kinds of shoddy short bows also shot out a large number of shoddy bows and arrows, and the boiling gold juice was lifted and fell down by the soldiers with thick leather gloves and beak-shaped masks, and the scalded people had to endure the intense and unpleasant stench and psychological nausea.

After smashing the ladder with stones, the Celtic attack was once again in vain.

After another month and a half of siege, the Celts had nothing to gain except the loss of thousands of warriors, especially after the dwarves had barely used the materials brought in by the fleet to make dozens of city defense ballistae.

King Arthur finally couldn't stand this stalemate and sent an emissary into Nottingham to make peace with Randy.

"The two sides have the Sum River, the Trent River, and the mountain peaks as the demarcation line, the territory to the south belongs to you, and the territory to the north belongs to us, and the two sides have an armistice for 18 months, right?"

Randy couldn't help frowning when he heard the conditions of the Celtic envoy: "Your queen's appetite is too big, she almost swallowed 2/3 of England, and we have been busy for so long, and in the end we only got this part of York, right?" ”

"The situation dictates, Your Majesty, you should think about it from a different angle, if we Celts attack with all our might, and when the city is broken, the jade will be burned, let alone the city of York, even your net worth and life will not be guaranteed!"

"Stop, for the sake of the queen of your family, I won't kill you, pick out your eyeballs, cut off your nose, ears, lips, tongue, and drive you out of the city."

Randy said something terrifying, and then the two Guard Knights grabbed the guy and dragged him out.

"Patience, patience, in November, my army will be able to pour into England again, and the alliance with the Black Duke and Scotland will soon be reached, so that the number of coalition troops can even reach more than 70,000, and I will be the overlord of England at that time!"

Just like Randy said, in recent times, don't look at the fact that although he is hiding in Nottingham, he has done nothing less.

First of all, using the remote control of Enides, a cavalry training ground, a knight arena, and a Norwegian knight branch were built in the Oslo fortress, so that the cavalry experience produced there reached five stars, and at the same time, the war horse chain mail researched by the scientific research institute was also completed, and the defense of the war horse was further strengthened, which further strengthened the combat effectiveness of Randy's cavalry team, and the horse pedigree map developed by another scientific research institute was also completed, and the various indices of the war horse were further improved.

7,000 professional Viking warriors, of which 1/3 are equipped with plate chain composite armor, 2,500 Viking death assault warriors, all equipped with plate chain composite armor, 1,500 Viking crossbowmen, adding up to a total of 11,000 infantry, and 500 horsemen on new war horses recruited by Randy, Norwegian knights equipped with war horse chain mail, 1,000 improved Tomahawk cavalry riding new war horses, but not equipped with war horse chain mail, a total of 1,500 elite heavy cavalry, 500 special troops, Nordic Battlefield Order, and 2,000 improved longbowmen urgently recruited and trained in York.

Randy did deliver on his promise, and the 15,000-strong Nordic Legion was formed, even more powerful than it had been during the first invasion of England.

It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the dwarf king Wald refused to send more dwarven warriors, although Randy used coercion and temptation to plead, but Wald was still as stubborn as an iron block, and he was only willing to recruit another 5,000 dwarf militia to come to England, which was better than nothing.

It seems that it is not just the Celts who are troubled by the population problem in the war!

At the same time, the Scots promised no less than fifteen thousand troops, and the Black Duke promised no less than ten thousand, so that another twenty-five thousand troops.

This time, the four alliances have a total strength of 40,000 to 50,000, and against a Celtic with a total strength of only 20,000 and a lot of injuries and discouragement, Randy really can't think of any reason why he will lose.

"The total difference of twice the strength, plus nearly half of my coalition army is professional troops, if it really doesn't work, all the mercenaries in the past two months have been brushed out, and if I hire another batch of mercenaries, my army can increase by a few thousand more, and I can't lose no matter what."

At this time, Randy suddenly thought of a very novel tactic!

If it is not before the battle, but directly recruit a group of mercenaries into the battlefield during the battle, will it have a good effect?

"Sorry, you can't recruit, build, research, etc. during the battle!"

"That's it! That's it. ”

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, and Randy quickly put the idea behind him, saying that such conversations had taken place many times between himself and Enides, and it was usually Randy who had the idea to tell Enides what he thought, and although most of the time, Enides would respond in the negative, but sometimes he would say something exciting.

This endless temptation of Enides has become a part of Randy's life, and will probably continue to do so for a long time.

And just like that, the time quickly came to November.

The Celtics have been attacking Nottingham since the beginning of September, both by storming and besieging the city, but the city is still resolute, so it was time for a counter-attack.

It's like Randy casually fought a few big and small battles and had the ability to see opportunities, although Arthur King Artoria is not very old, even a few months younger than Randy, but he still has the ability to see opportunities.

For two months, the King of Norway was not incompetent in his ability to make contact with the outside world, and his letter to the new King of Scotland, Robert II, wishing to reaffirm the alliance between the two countries, had been completely ineffective.

Soon King Arthur understood his situation!

Let's go, hurry up! If you go slowly, I'm afraid that even the bones and scum will be gnawed away.

When attacking, aggression is like fire.

When retreating, it was as fast as the wind.

On October 4th, Randy's 20,000-strong army quietly crossed the North Sea to Nottingham.

Preparing to go out of the city to attack the Celtics after a night's rest, but after such a night's work, Randy got up during the day and heard the spy's anonymous report, and after knowing that something was wrong, Randy ran to the city without washing his face, took out his monoculars and saw that there was not even a single hair left in the messy camp.
