With the order to attack the city with all its might, the captives were pushed by the army behind them to fill the trench themselves, while the army behind them stepped on the filled ground and came under the castle walls.

The unguarded city wall could not stop William's army from leaning the ladder against the wall, and countless soldiers who had been waiting for a long time raised their shields with their left hands around their waists, and the escalators with their right hands climbed up the ladders.

Bang...

With a loud bang, the sturdy oak gate finally couldn't hold on to the bombardment of stone bullets and giant crossbows, and collapsed to the ground.

Sir Hubert, who commanded the army at the front, decisively seized the opportunity and ordered hundreds of heavy infantry under his command to rush into the city gate first, while the rest of the soldiers followed and swarmed in.

With the fall of the city walls and gates, the knightly coalition army, which had completely lost their fighting spirit, dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The knights, who had been scattered by the rout, did not even have time to hide in the main building of the castle when they were captured by the William soldiers who arrived later.

As the fighting subsided, William's soldiers took full control of the castle, and more than two dozen surviving knights were captured by the soldiers and brought to William.

"Hahaha!" William looked at the more than twenty frustrated knights, and the smile on his face finally burst out irrepressibly, laughed, and said, "Why do you want to betray me? I am Baron Vernon, personally conferred the title by the Count of Évreux! When you rebelled before, you didn't think you would have today! ”

In the face of William's questioning and ridicule, the knights lowered their heads one after another, looking dejected.

"Ahh Not far from William's side, Sir Johnson, who was bound all over, spat at William, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Hmph! To ask us to pay allegiance to you, the lowly bastard, the lowly shoemaker's grandson, is a great insult and mockery to us, and we absolutely cannot accept it!

If you have the ability, kill us! Hybrid William.

As a lowly bastard, if you want to be recognized by our nobles, you must not harm the knights and nobles and capture us and attack us! ”

"Hahaha! Ha! Very good! William laughed angrily, looked up at Sir Johnson, and said, "Since you say you can't take action against the captives. Well, I'll release you and give each of you a weapon, so you'll be warriors and not captives.

I will let you die like a brave and fearless warrior! ”

At first, Sir Jensen and the others thought that William would let them go, or send a few people to duel with them, and they all showed joy on their faces, but when they heard William's words later, they all changed color and showed fear.

William looked at the knights' cold gaze as if he were looking at a dead man, turned his horse and retreated into the army, and with a wave of his right hand, he ordered: "Longbowmen and crossbowmen are aimed at them, and pikemen and heavy infantry surround them!"

Loosen their bonds, give them weapons, and let them die like warriors! ”

"Nope! You can't do this! Otherwise, all the nobles of Normandy will not support you, and His Royal Highness Cay, Count of Mortan, will definitely not let you go! "Undying Jensen. Sir Bernard roared hoarsely and let out a wild bark of a defeated dog.

William heard Jensen. When Bernard mentioned Kay's name, he immediately became angry and ordered with a grim face: "Quickly untie them, give them weapons, let them die bravely, don't let them show such ugliness again, and lose the face of the Norman knights!" ”

Dozens of Norman hoplites stepped forward, untied the ropes tied to the knights, dropped two dozen Norman swords or axes in front of them, and turned away.

Jensen, who was still clamoring before. Sir Bernard looked at William at this time, and said with a crying voice: "No! William! His Royal Highness William!

Please let us go! We are willing to swear allegiance to you and swear never to betray! ”

"It's late, why did you go earlier!" With a disgusted expression on his face, William shook his right hand and said impatiently: "Quickly take up your arms and die like a valiant knight!" Don't let me see your ugly posture again! ”

Except for a few of the knights on the field who picked up their weapons and stood up tremblingly, the remaining twenty or so people sat on the ground with a look of despair, and even a few of them were so frightened that their crotches were wet and exuded a shameful smell of urine.

"Shoot!" William's right hand was raised in the air, and he waved down and ordered in a loud voice.

Whoa... Whoa...

The crossbowmen's arrows and the longbowmen's arrows whistled as they shot at the twenty or so knights on the field.

Puff... Puff puff puff...

The sound of countless arrows entering the flesh sounded, and in the blink of an eye, the knights on the field were pierced into hedgehogs by the dense arrows, and the few who were lucky enough to survive were not long, and they fell to the ground and groaned weakly.

The spearmen who finally caught up with them pierced their hearts with a dense barrage of spear stabs.

William, who poured out his anger, only felt bored in the face of these fallen knights, and waved his hand to take his soldiers into the castle.

The war to suppress the rebellion was about to subside, and the spoils of war were counted.

In addition to some weapons and chain mail that were taken by the soldiers, there were thousands of other weapons, tens of thousands of arrows, hundreds of chain mail, thousands of leather armor, and no food and grass materials.

Of course, there are still a few recalcitrant knights' estates in Barony Vernon that have not been cleared, and the remnants of these rebels will be handed over to Ferdinand. Five hundred soldiers led by Grylls were in charge of the clearance.

Early the next morning, he left behind the housekeeper Chris. After Maury was responsible for leading 200 infantry and 300 levies to defend and repair the castle and count the captured supplies, William himself led the remaining 2,000 men to continue the march to several cities on the banks of the Seine.

Cities of Saint-Reis, Saint-Pierre-Garant, Caillon, and Vaudreuil, on the west bank of the Seine, and Passy-sur-Earle, Deleuville, and Ancalville-sur-Earle, were cities of 1,000 men who had followed the rebellious knights in their conspiracy to rebel, and although they did not raise a clear banner of rebellion, they ignored William's two letters.

William, who swept away the knightly rebellion, had no reason to spare these vile and shameless merchants.

William was not much concerned about being betrayed by the knights and nobles, but being ignored and betrayed by these lowly medieval merchants was regarded as a great insult by William.

Perhaps because he was despised and disgusted by the nobles since he was a child, and was regarded by them as a lowly bastard, William could not tolerate any words that insulted him as a lowly or bastard, or a mongrel. Not to mention the insults and provocations of the lowly medieval merchants?

After all, people in the Middle Ages also had a chain of contempt, and the nobles despised and mocked William to fight back immediately, and the more humble merchants despised William to make them pay an even more painful price.
