In the middle of the night, darkness completely enveloped the entire city of Lysyracuse, all the inhabitants of the city fell into a deep sleep, and the few soldiers who were on duty on the city walls yawned listlessly, they had no idea that anyone would boldly attack Lysyracuse at night.

"Hey, brother, do you have a drink to drink, I can freeze to death on this cold day!" A young soldier on the gate floor patted the veteran on the shoulder and whispered.

"Take it, don't bother me!" The veteran took out a small bottle of rye wine and handed it to the young soldier, and fell asleep with his head rolled up in a blanket, snoring and shouting.

"Thank you, dude!" The young soldier unscrewed the stopper and poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, and his eyelids began to fight, and his head began to feel dizzy.

Bang bang... Bang bang... Bang bang...

The blackened iron hooks were thrown onto the top of the city by the guards infantry under the city and firmly hooked the corner of the wall, and the two hundred soldiers began to climb towards the wall by holding on to the ropes behind the hooks.

"Hey, dude, did you hear anything?" Hearing these strange movements, the young soldier reached out and pushed the veteran's shoulder, and said.

"Didn't I tell you not to make noise? The army of the parish of Lischel has been defeated by Lord Baron Cotentan, what can happen? The veteran looked up, glared at him viciously, and said.

"This—" The young soldier hesitated for a moment, then left with a smug expression.

The moment the young soldier turned to look at the city, he was stunned by the more than 100 heavy infantry who had climbed up to the city, and was about to shout loudly when a crossbow arrow came from him and ended his life.

Faller put down the crossbow in his hand and led two hundred heavy infantry with shields on their shoulders and steel swords to rush to the city gate tower not far away.

The sparse soldiers on the city walls and gate towers were simply unable to withstand the onslaught of two hundred elite heavy infantry, and in a short time the gates of the city were occupied by Faller's troops.

Bang... Crunch...

Seeing that the drawbridge in front of the city gate was lowered and the heavy oak gate was opened, William, who seized the opportunity, immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

Whining... Woo...

The horn of the whole army to attack was sounded, and the first to rush into Syracuse was 600 light and heavy cavalry led by Knight Rodrigo, followed by more than 200 knights and cavalry belonging to the knight legion.

I saw that these more than 800 cavalry were like a hurricane passing through, crushing all the enemy troops who rushed to block them, and went all the way to the city hall and barracks in the center of Syracuse.

Not to be outdone, the infantry led by Sir Hubert followed the cavalry into Syracuse from the city gates, or climbed the walls with ladders to sweep away the remnants of the enemy soldiers on the walls.

"Sir Marcus, the army of the bastard William has entered the city, and they are going to take the whole of Syracuse, what are we going to do?" A knight led his men to the side of the guard, Sir Marcus, and asked anxiously.

"Don't be nervous, the town hall is no longer able to defend, gather the whole army and withdraw to the Lixue Church.

As long as we can hold on to the church and wait for the help of Baron Cotentin, we will be saved! Sir Marcus comforted the knight by patting him on the shoulder.

After calming the anxiety and anxiety of his knights, Sir Marcus led the remnants of more than a dozen knights and more than 400 soldiers to retreat to the nearby Lischel Church.

The next morning, William and others, who had completed the suppression of the whole town, led the troops to surround the Lixue Church, which had finally resisted stubbornly.

William and Sir Hubert rode their horses to the besieged Lischel Church and observed the building, which was called the church but was actually a fortress.

"Sir Hubert, cut off the drinking water in the church, a little well water will not solve the drinking water problem of hundreds of soldiers!" William turned his head to look at Sir Hubert and said, "Is there any way you can conquer this church sooner?" If Baron Cotentan leads his army back to help, the situation will not be good! ”

"Back to His Highness William, if we forcibly attack this fortified Lixue Church, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties. Hmm—" Sir Hubert pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and said, "It is better to put smoke at the entrance and around the church, and force them to go out of the church and fight with us." ”

"Nice note, Sir Hubert, but it's a little slower, so let the trebuchet throw firebombs and firewood and burn this church down." William said expressionlessly.

"No, His Highness William!" Sir Hubert hurriedly spoke up to stop him: "It is a felony to burn down the church, and a bad one will be punished by the Holy See." ”

"Okay, let's do what you say first, if it doesn't work, I can only make this decision." William nodded slightly.

"Whew..."Sir Hubert breathed a sigh of relief, gave a solemn military salute to William, and said, "Obey your orders, Your Highness William." ”

Hubert immediately went to the front of the battle, organized the soldiers to pile the thatched wood and door panels that had been dismantled at the entrances of the various passages of the church, poured water on them, and began to burn them.

Smoke billowed from the wet piles of wood, grass and wood were used by soldiers to fan into the church with makeshift large pampas or thin planks.

In a matter of moments, the closed church was filled with choking smoke, and countless knights and soldiers had to lie on the ground and cough weakly.

"Sir Marcus, this despicable bastard William, has used such shameful means, cough... We won't be able to last long, so think of a way! Ahem—" a knight approached Sir Marcus and asked eagerly.

"I can't sit still, let all the knights and soldiers break through with me!" Sir Marcus commanded with a wave of his hand.

"Yes!" The knight immediately took the order.

Outside the church, anxiously awaiting the results, William began to get impatient, and just as he was about to give the order to throw firebombs and firewood, hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the church shouting.

"Good! All the soldiers are ready, ready to meet the enemy, longbowmen, crossbowmen, give me a good greeting first! William raised his right hand and commanded in a loud voice.

Andrew commanding longbowmen and crossbowmen. The Dalton Knight immediately ordered his three hundred longbowmen and three hundred crossbowmen to begin casting arrows and crossbows.

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

Whoa... Whoa...

More than 600 arrows fell mercilessly on the knights and soldiers led by Marcus like a torrential rain, hundreds of soldiers were easily shot to the ground, and the eight knights who charged forward were also attacked by dense arrows and fell weakly on the way to the charge.

In just 100 meters, Knight Andrew and his crossbowmen shot 1,500 long arrows and 600 crossbow arrows, and the dense firepower directly killed and injured most of the enemy, and the remaining 100 remnants of the defeated soldiers were also killed on the spot by the Norman heavy infantry.
