The castle of Medimer was breached, and William could not be reserved, and immediately led his guard brigade to the castle where the flames of war could not be extinguished.

"Dare to stick to the weak wooden fort under the bombardment of my counterweight trebuchet, and not lead the army to break through, it's not a small courage." William couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the sections of the civil structure city wall that had been smashed by a huge three-hundred-pound stone bullet.

In fact, what William didn't know was that they didn't want to break through, but that the First Army led by Hubert was too strong, and their several attempts to break through failed because of the interception of Count Hubert and the First Army, and the already low morale was completely broken, which gave Count Richard the opportunity to break into the castle easily. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be killed and wounded in this siege battle.

The first thing William did when he came here was to inquire about the casualties of the army, and in his mind, whether it was captured or captured, it was not as important as the lives of the soldiers under his command.

"Count Richard, what are the casualties of our army?" William approached Count Richard, who was dealing with post-war affairs, and asked.

"Back to His Highness William, with your help, with the cooperation of the 1st Army Corps, we easily conquered Fort Merdimer, only 60 dead and 300 soldiers were wounded, and this battle can be described as a great victory." Richard replied with an excited expression.

"Huh..." William was also relieved when he heard Count Richard's answer, and said to him and Earl Hubert and Baron Andrew beside him: "Everyone, let's go, go to the wounded barracks to see these soldiers who have been wounded in fighting for me." ”

At the end of each war, William would personally visit these brave wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, and give them care and help.

When they arrived at the wounded barracks, William immediately sent his best medical team to treat their injuries, and instructed them not to cherish the medicinal herbs, as long as they could cure them, not to be stingy.

"Lord William, I—" A soldier belonging to the Knights of Evreux saw William's arrival, and he didn't care about his injuries, and wanted to stand up and meet William.

"Lie down for me, soldier, I don't need you to salute me, now it is all about healing your wounds as the first priority." William hurriedly ran over, helped the soldier back to lie on the hospital bed, and said to him gently, "Soldier, what is your name?" ”

"I... My name is sausage, male... My lord, when my mother gave birth to me, my father was still eating sausages, so he called me sausages. The honest wounded soldier stumbled and struggled to finish his sentence.

"You're good, I remember you, you're a great warrior. Dried meat... Intestines, let me give you a name, how about calling it McDonald's? William was surprised that the soldier had such a strange name, and immediately gave him a nice name related to food.

"Thank you, Lord Duke." Sausage, uh no, McDonald's was moved to tears, presumably he has been called a sausage for more than 20 years, and even he himself is unhappy.

Then, William patiently asked the McDonald's uncle what his difficulties were, and solved them on the spot, and after some greetings, William went to another wounded soldier and took the trouble to comfort him.

In addition to perfect medical care, the wounded soldiers could also get a free piece of land of up to ten acres, and the best of them would be recruited by William as local administrative and military officials, or militia captains.

William's good deeds won the support of all the soldiers, especially the wounded soldiers, so he had great prestige and control in the army.

After leaving the wounded barracks, William convened a small military meeting with the important generals who succeeded him.

"Count Richard, we captured those nobles in this battle, can you tell us about it?" William raised his hand and invited Count Richard to speak first.

"Your Highness William, we have captured Gautier, Count of Amiens-Wissan, and his younger brother Raoult, Count of Sens, and Count of Urburg, but unfortunately it was Archbishop of Sens and Count of Vimanduis that Ode. Carolingian slipped out overnight long before we laid siege to the city. "Count Richard truthfully reported the situation of the captured nobles.

"It doesn't matter, Archbishop Sens has a special and exalted position in the Kingdom of France, and he has a huge archdiocese area, and if we do catch him, we will feel embarrassed, he is a hot potato, and if he slips away, he will just lose this trouble.

As for the Count of Vimanduis, he was only the last descendant of the Carolingian dynasty, and no one in France would fight for the noble Carolingian name anymore.

The key is Gautier, Count of Amiens-Wissan, his brother Raoult, and the Count of Euburg, as long as they don't run away. William waved his hand and said with relief to the apologetic Earl Richard.

"And what are you going to do with them?" Count Richard asked.

"The Earl of Urburg is a traitor to my Duchy of Normandy, and he has betrayed Normandy, me, and everyone, and this great battle was caused by his betrayal, so I will give him a hanging, and take back his title of nobility and fief as punishment.

As for Gautier, Count of Amiens-Wissan, and his brother Raoult, I am not prepared to cast them or demand ransom from them, I will take them back to Normandy and put them in captivity.

Because the two counties of Amiens and Wissan are the best targets for us to annex, and below them are the archdiocese of Reims and Paris, which are not easy targets to annex, and neither can the Carolingian family's last territory, Vimanduva, these three territories cannot be annexed until I have an absolute territory, so I can only leave it to the end.

In the end, the inconsequential nobles will demand a ransom after the war is over. ”

Saying that, William looked at the Count of Richard, Baron Andrew and Ferdinand, and ordered: "Count Richard, Baron Andrew, Baron Ferdinand, you three quickly and quickly capture the county of Amiens and the county of Wissan.

As for the handling of prisoners of war, their capture, and the placement of the wounded, I will inform Steward Osborne that he will come and handle it for you, and you can go with your troops with peace of mind. ”

"Yes, His Highness William." The three people in the audience came out one after another, stood in front of William and bowed down.

After dealing with the enemy in the middle and east routes, William decided to immediately lead his troops south to prepare for the siege of Paris, and as for the army of the Duchy of Anjou on the western front, William decided to leave it to the Count Rodrigo, who he believed would be able to cope with all this.

"Count Hubert, it's time to go, this time our goal is Paris." William stood up, stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of Paris, and said to Count Hubert.

"Paris? The Normans' dream is coming true. Hubert muttered, bowing to William, "Yes, my lord." ”
