Chapter 52: Internal and External Troubles (II)

In the wasteland forest.

The noble soldiers walked with difficulty.

No matter how much Lord Deli inspires, coerces, and induces. Even a few of his right-hand men were sent to drive them away, but they were indifferent. In the end, Lord Deli could only pull out the most thorny soldiers and behead them for public display, which suppressed this wave of mutiny.

Even so, Lord Deli did not arrive at the Baronial Castle as originally planned.

When they entered the barony, there were already a number of able-bodied young men waiting to be received by Lord Deli in the two villages along the way. Lord Deli gave the new recruits the broken weapons and armor he had brought back from the wasteland, and each of them looked scrappy.

Maybe the bandits have left them without passion, but the war to defend their homeland is their duty.

With the addition of this group of fresh blood, Lord Deli's troops began to have a little bit of morale.

……………………………

The old butler galloped across the moor with twenty cavalrymen.

Passing by two villages, the old butler did not pause. It wasn't until I saw the Baron's Castle from afar that the siege had already begun.

But at this time, he was not worried.

The Baron's Castle is surrounded by walls cut out of stone, which are not high, but they are more than four meters high, and together with the foundations and moat, they are more than six meters in total.

on the castle.

The guardian knight, entrusted by the Baroness, holds in his hand the sword that the Baron used in his youth. In the few minutes that the butler had been standing, he had already killed three rebels.

Behind him stood two knights who had not participated in the rebellion, their armor in the manor and their infantry equipment.

Several knights beside Aiward had already begun to join the siege. The knight's shield in his hand blocked countless flying arrows.

Fierce fighting was raging at the head of the city.

Siege trucks have begun to pound the gates.

The numerical superiority made the soldiers in the castle miserable.

Outside the castle.

The steward dismounted and told the soldiers to hurry up and rest, ready to wait for the rebels to attack the city at its hardest.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Three hundred rebels gradually attacked the city.

The steward felt that the time was ripe and led his troops to charge.

"Woo ......"

Eward was now under the castle directing the attack of the soldiers. In the distance, the trumpet of attack was heard, and Eward looked back to see that a Barony of Alberton's flag tree was there.

How familiar this bugle was, once he galloped along the distant steppe with this voice, once he danced with this banner on the enemy's playground, once he was a man of faith and sentiment, and now, he just wanted more land, more servants, more golden sun.

He fell.

Now it's the Fallen Knight.

However, a fallen knight is still a knight after all.

The knight's spear in Eward's hand was still not rusty, his horse was still vigorous, and he was in the prime of life.

The other two knights followed Edward into a charge formation to meet the butler's cavalry.

On one side was a team of twenty cavalry butlers, and on the other side was a team of seven cavalry Ivard rebels. In the middle were the poor militiamen, who had just been drafted, and they had very tacitly made way to the two sides for the cavalry to gallop.

However, Ewards was wrong......

The butler's cavalry struck the group of infantry. The cavalry against the infantry was simply an extraordinary massacre. The cavalry, which had become a momentum, could crush the militia in front of them with just one charge.

That's what the butler thought.

To defeat this team as much as possible, the first choice is to disperse their infantry, and the remaining cavalry will not be able to attack the city at all.

The steward took the lead and killed Aiward, and the two cavalrymen beside him had been brought out of the Baron's Castle, and at this time, only the three of them in the entire team had the strength to stop Aiward. The rest of the cavalry charged the fleeing rebel militia.

The first of the two cavalry teams were the knight and the steward. One of the strongest knights of the Baron's Castle and a wounded knight who once traveled the world.

The two cavalrymen leveled their knights' spears, aimed at each other's vital points, and accelerated desperately. In the cavalry hedge, whoever is afraid loses. Failure means death. The two of them did not retreat, and both firmly believed in their belief in knightly bravery.

In just one round, the old butler's ribs were poked and broken by Eward. With a seriously injured body, the old butler resolutely killed the two knights behind Aiward. I saw that his spear was horizontal, and he held the two knights in parallel, and then saw the two draw out their short swords and pierce them into the eyes of the two knights.

"Ahh

The two knights let out a miserable cry and fell heavily to the ground. And the old butler, who had just finished killing the two knights, was hacked to death by the rushing Hu Cong, and lay desolate under the castle.

The death of the old butler did not cause panic among the noble army, and they began to clear the militia according to the battle plan they had previously set.

On the city wall, the baroness saw it, but he had no choice, there were no cavalry in the castle, and the infantry could reach the bottom line of defense, once the troops were divided again, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

"Did you send a letter for help?" The baroness couldn't bear to see the old butler stubbornly crawling on the ground, and asked the soldier beside her.

"Two more went out as soon as possible, and they took the family insignia and headed towards the county of Adelson, according to the ......strength of their feet," the soldier did not dare to speculate, but it was true that according to the strength of their feet, there were not three days without running the county. It would take at least five days for reinforcements to arrive at the Baron's Castle, and this was when the Count was willing to send troops to the rescue at the first moment.

Inside the castle, the few crossbow soldiers in the Barony of Alberon shot their arrows loosely, and occasionally a few rebels fell under their arrows.

At the foot of the castle, most of the rebel militia was killed and scattered, but some sergeant majors still held on to their posts with their militia troops. On the other side, the nobles' cavalry ranks were gradually wiped out, and when the last cavalry was killed by Edward, the castle was once again at peace.

A new siege is about to begin again......

……………………………

Somewhere in the Barony of Alberton.

Lord Deli galloped down the avenue with more than five hundred soldiers.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry." The sergeant major who led the team at the front was shouting frantically. He knew that it was half a day behind the previously specified plan.

"General, we have passed the pass, and in half a day, we will be able to return to the castle." A soldier acting as a scout ran back from the front to give an update.

Lord Deli didn't answer, just gave him a faint look, and finally nodded.

The soldier walked away.

Lord Deli sat on his horse and stared ahead.
