Although Willleburg was surrounded by rebels, Julian was not afraid, because it was more than enough to defend these hundreds of people as a castle, as long as he stayed behind the strong city walls and let the rebels besiege him for a year and a half, but Marty, as a lord, had to watch these rebels who were originally his vassals show off their might, which was a very heavy blow to the psychology of this proud and stubborn girl, plus the humiliation and injury of defeat Marty turned out to be sick, and now the only person who can preside over affairs is the knight Julian.

"Tell the soldiers to keep their posts, not to let anyone in, and to push the whirlwind cannon that the Count of Mecklenburg has given us to the tower, the width of the walls of Wille is sufficient to accommodate this weapon." Julian did not rest for several days after Marty fell ill, and he seemed to have to give one order after another, and under the arrangement of the knight Julian, although the soldiers of Willleburg were defeated, the morale of the soldiers gradually recovered.

"It's Sizz." The castle guards who stayed behind promised Julian that if less than a hundred castle guards could take advantage of the favorable terrain to resist the siege of the rebels, the only thing that worried Julian was that the nobles in the rebel army were very familiar with Willleburg, and some of them even lived in Willleburg all year round, so it can be said that they knew everything about the defense of Willleburg.

"Chief Lu Sien, it seems that Lady Marty is ready to defend the castle to the death, what can we do to take the castle as quickly as possible?" Looking at the closed gates and the suspended drawbridge, the Slavic nobles of the rebel army asked Rusen, who had been an important courtier of Marty's father.

"Wille Castle is arguably one of the most important and fortified castles in the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg." Looking at the castle standing on the flat ground in front of him, the leader of Lu Sien said with emotion.

The construction of castles on flat land was originally contrary to the usual practice of building castles in this era, because most castles were guarded by traffic arteries or dangerous places, but Wille Castle was surrounded by farmland and villages on flat land, but this does not mean that Wille Castle was not well defended. On the contrary, the river built and introduced by Willeburg became an impassable moat that prevented the enemy from approaching the city walls, and if the attackers crossed the moat, they would lose many corpses, and the arrows from the towers would be mercilessly struck.

"Aren't we going to attack the castle?"

"No, the best of their archers in Willleburg, but most of their archers have been wiped out in the field. Now is the right time to take the castle, and if I'm not mistaken, there is a shoal in the southeast corner of the castle, and the road is so narrow that it barely holds a man. Lu Sien thought for a moment and said to the rebel nobles.

"So what are you waiting for, let's send our soldiers to storm there."

"No, we're sending seventy soldiers to attack from the front." A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Sien's mouth, his head was not so simple, and he continued to explain to the puzzled Slavic nobles. "Draw the enemy's attention from the front, and then send thirty elite tribal soldiers to attack from there on a detour to the southeast corner."

"Good idea, but we should find some plank shields to block arrows."

"Where to find the plank shield at this time?"

"Aren't there so many village fields outside of Willeburg? Burn them all and find out the farmers' beds and wagons. Russen looked at the village outside Willeburg and ordered the Slavic nobles.

"Okay, no problem, haha." Listening to Lu Sien's order, the rebel nobles had excited smiles on their faces. The plundering of Ms. Marty's estate was something they loved to see.

After burning down the last remaining villages, the rebels piled looted supplies outside the castle. The castle's defenders could only watch, their weapons clenched with hatred in their eyes, and Lady Marty fainted as she saw the rebels ravaging her estates and territories, and the scrambled maids hurriedly carried her to the big bed.

"All of them ~~~." When the rebels were ready to stop, they beat drums covered with animal skins, and the peasants, who had been gathered by the nobles, carried pitchforks and sticks. Lucky enough to hold the spears that had been picked up to defeat the soldiers of Willleburg, they gathered bustling under the banners of the nobles, not like they were fighting a war but like a fair, but under the constraints of the war drums, they looked like they were in shape.

"Whoosh~~~." When the rebel soldiers walked within a hundred meters of the castle, an arrow flew out of the castle. It landed in front of the first row of rebel soldiers, warning them not to move on, and sure enough, the drums of war came to an abrupt halt, and the advancing ranks stopped.

"Don't stop, move forward ~~~." Riding on his horse, he looked at the figure of the guardian behind the battlements of the castle, drew his sword and commanded loudly.

"Forward, attack." Under Lu Sien's orders, the nobles urged the farmers who acted as cannon fodder to advance, and even these farmers were reluctant at first, after all, in the face of a castle much taller than their own huts, the ignorant farmers also understood that it was difficult to conquer, and no one was willing to die.

"These cowards, please ask the priests to come out." Seeing that the peasants refused to advance, the Slavic nobles also felt very troubled, and at this time the only way to use more authoritative forces was to use the Lomwa priests, who wore white robes and held oak branches in their hands, and the presence of these religious clergy gave the peasants spiritual strength.

"The gods will lead you to victory." The priest opened his arms and announced to the rebel soldiers.

"After the soldiers enter the castle, I will allow you to take your belongings legally." In order to motivate the peasants to fight bravely, the leader of Lu Sien stood up from his horse with both feet, he promised that the soldiers who entered the castle could plunder the property inside, and after listening to the words of the leader of Lu Sien, the rebel soldiers cheered enthusiastically, in this era, the peasants of any nationality are the most oppressed bottom, they live a poor life, most of the crops harvested by hard work must be paid to the lord, only a small part of them maintain their own and their families, and now they have the opportunity to plunder the property of the past lord, This, of course, got their morale up.

"Attack~~~~." As the drums of war sounded again, the peasants shouted and raised their rudimentary weapons, pushing pack wagons and planks towards Willleburg, and the defenders of the castle faced the rushing enemy, mercilessly bent their bows and arrows into the crowd, and in addition to the whirlwind cannons on the city walls, the broken stones in the leather bags were thrown high and smashed into the crowd where the crowd gathered, and even the rebel soldiers were often smashed to the head and bleed even if they held the planks.

"Don't back down, keep attacking." The original intention of the leader of Lu Sien was to use these cannon fodder to attract the attention of the front of the castle, and on the other side, several Slavic nobles led more than thirty elite soldiers in leather armor to quietly touch the shallows of the castle moat, and the messy debris piled up between the castles obscured the eyes of the soldiers on the castle, but at this time they were concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of them, and they did not have much energy to care about other places.

"The gods forbid, the gods bless ~~~." The Lomwa priests also knew that this battle was a matter of their faith, so they also held high the relics of their sect, and walked among the attacking soldiers, encouraged by the sacrifices, the rebels attacked even more frantically, believing that they would be invincible under the protection of the gods, pushing the planks and carts looted from the farmhouses into the moat, and then jumping on them and braving the arrows above their heads to row under the walls, but of course the Weller guards on the walls would not let them do so, So the arrows flew between the reckless farmers like locusts, and the man who was shot fell into the moat with the arrows, and the originally clear moat water rose with streams of red blood.

"The whirlwind cannon is attacking that way." Julian, who was commanding the whirlwind cannon, suddenly saw a group of soldiers in the southeast corner who were different from those tattered farmers sneaking closer, they were all wearing leather armor or chain mail, Julian knew that this must be the elite soldiers of the nobles in the rebel army, although he didn't know what they wanted to do, but instinctively ordered the whirlwind cannon to attack these elite soldiers.

"Huhuhu~~~~." Immediately, the operator of the whirlwind cannon turned the whirlwind cannon on the city wall to the southeast corner, and then filled the leather bag with stones, and several strong Willer soldiers pulled the leather rope violently, and the stones in the leather bag were thrown high under the lever principle.

"Whoa, whoa~~~." The stones rained down to the southeast, but the attacks of the stones were very scattered, and the chance of hitting those elite soldiers was really limited, and it only played the role of intimidation and deterrence.

"Smack~~~Hmm~~~." Even so, a few lucky stones hit the heads of the two elite soldiers who tried to cross the river, even if they were helmets made of leather and animal skins, they couldn't resist the impact of the stones, and suddenly the two soldiers who were hit by the key fell into the river with their heads tilted and their bodies weakened, but even if their companions were hit, those elite soldiers still braved the arrows and stones above their heads and carefully jumped into the moat, and the river only submerged their thighs, although the mud in the river hindered their progress, But it was enough to slowly cross the moat.

"The archers concentrate their forces and shoot them." Julian looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect those elite soldiers to jump directly into the moat like that, and the river water only flooded their thighs, which he didn't expect, so he immediately shouted a loud command to the archers guarding with all his might.
