Section 46 Weaknesses

Although Fort Willer was surrounded by rebels, Julian was not afraid, because as a castle, it was more than enough to defend these hundreds of people. As long as you stay behind the solid wall, you can't help but let the rebels siege for a year or two, Marty, as the lord, had to watch the rebels who were originally his vassals show their power. This was a heavy blow to the proud and stubborn girl's psychology. Coupled with the humiliation of defeat and the injury of defeat, Marty was actually sick. Now the only person who can take charge of the affairs is the knight Julian.

"Tell the soldiers to guard their posts and not let anyone in. Push the whirlwind cannon presented to us by the Earl of Mecklenburg to the city tower. The width of the Willer wall can accommodate this weapon." Julian has not rested for several days after Marty fell ill for several days, and seemed to have been giving orders one after another. Under the arrangement of the Knight Julian, the soldiers of Willer Fort were defeated, but the morale of the soldiers gradually recovered.

"It's a jazz." The remaining castle guards agreed to Julian one after another. If less than a hundred castle guards could use the favorable terrain to resist the rebels' siege, it would be no problem. The only thing that worried Julian was that the nobles in the rebels were very familiar with the Fort Willer, some of them had even lived in Fort Willer for many years. It can be said that they knew the defense of Fort Willer.

"Captain Lu Sien, it seems that Ms. Marty is ready to defend the castle to the death. What can we do to capture the castle as fast as possible?" Looking at the closed city gate and the hanging suspension bridge, the Slavic nobles in the rebels asked Lu Sien, because Lu Sien was once an important courtier of Marty's father.

"Willer Fort Willer can be said to be one of the most important and strong castles in the Mecklenburg emirates." Looking at the castle towering on the flat ground in front of him, Chief Lu Sien said with emotion.

Building castles on flat grounds is originally contrary to the usual practice of building castles in this era, because most castles guard major traffic routes or dangerous places, but the Willer Fort is surrounded by farmland and villages on flat grounds. However, it does not mean that the Willer Fort has insufficient defense capabilities. On the contrary, the rivers built and introduced by Willer Fort become an insurmountable moat, which can prevent the enemy from approaching the walls. If you want to cross this moat, the attacker will lose many corpses, and the arrows on the condescending arrow tower will give you a merciless blow.

"Don't we attack the castle?"

"No, their archers are the most powerful in the Fort Willer, but most of their archers have been eliminated in the field. Now is a good opportunity to seize the castle, and if I remember correctly, there is a shallow in the southeast corner of the castle. The road is very narrow and can only accommodate one person." Lu Sien thought for a while and said to the rebel nobles.

"What are you waiting for? Let's send soldiers to attack there."

"No, we send seventy soldiers to attack from the front." Lu Sien sneered at the corner of his mouth. His head was not that simple, and he continued to explain to the puzzled Slavic nobles. "Get the enemy's attention from the front, and then send thirty elite tribal soldiers to detour the southeast corner from there."

"Good idea, but we should look for some wooden shields that block the arrows."

"Go there to look for wooden shields at this time?"

"Aren't there so many village fields outside the Fort Willer? Burn them all and find the farmers' beds and carriages." Lu Sien looked at the village outside the Fort Willer and ordered the Slavic nobles.

"Okay, no problem, haha." After hearing Lu Sien's order, the rebel nobles showed excited smiles on their faces. It was something they liked to plunder Ms. Marty's real estate.

After burning down the last remaining village, the rebels piled up the looted supplies outside the castle. The guards in the castle could only watch and they held the weapons in their hands and showed hatred eyes. Ms. Marty fainted as she saw the rebels ravaging her real estate and territory. The busy maids quickly carried her to the big bed.

"Everything~~~." After the rebels were about to stop, they beat the drums made by the animal skins. The farmers gathered by the nobles carried the pitchforks and wooden sticks. Fortunately, they held the spears picked up by the soldiers of the Fort Willer. They gathered bustling under the banner of the nobles, not like fighting or going to the market, but under the constraints of the war drums, they seemed to be like.

"Swoosh~~~." When the rebel soldiers walked in a hundred meters away from the castle, an arrow flew out of the castle and landed in front of the first row of rebel soldiers, warning them not to continue moving forward. Sure enough, the war drums stopped abruptly and the advance team stopped.

"Don't stop, move forward~~~." Chief Lu Sien rode on his horse. He looked at the figure of the guardian exposed behind the castle walls, pulled out his sword and ordered loudly.

"Forward, attack." Under Lu Sien's order, the nobles urged the farmers who acted as cannon fodder to move forward. At the beginning, even these farmers were reluctant. After all, facing a castle that was 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 farmers refused to move forward, the Slavic nobles also felt very difficult. At this time, they could only use more authoritative power. The priests of the Lomwa religion were wearing white robes and holding oak branches in their hands and walking in front of the team. The appearance of these religious clergy brought the farmers' hearts to the 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 allow you to take away the property legally." In order to inspire the farmers to fight bravely, Chief Lu Sien stood up from the horse's back with his feet. He promised that the soldiers entering the castle could plunder the property inside. After hearing Chief Lu Sien's words, the rebel soldiers cheered enthusiastically. In this era, the farmers of any nation were the most exploited lower class. They lived a poor life, and most of the crops harvested from their hard work had to be paid to the lords, and only a small part of them maintained their lives and their families. Now they have the opportunity to plunder the property of the lords in the past, which of course made them motivated.

"Attack~~~~." As the sound of war drums sounded again, the farmers shouted and raised their simple weapons, pushed the pack carriages and wooden boards toward the Fort Willer. The guards on the castle faced the rushing enemies, bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the crowd without any mercy. In addition, the whirlwind cannons on the city wall also began to play a role. The gravel in the skin was thrown high and smashed into the places where the crowd gathered. Even the rebel soldiers would often get beaten to their heads with blood when holding the boards.

"Don't retreat, continue to attack." Chief Lu Sien's original intention was to use these cannon fodder to attract the attention of the front of the castle. On the other side, several Slavic nobles led more than thirty elite soldiers in leather armor to sneak past the shallows of the castle moat. The messy debris piled between the castles covered the sight of the soldiers on the castle. However, at this time, they were concentrating on dealing with the frontal enemies and did not have much energy to care about other places.

"Bless the gods, protect the gods~~~." The Lomwa priests also knew that this battle was related to their beliefs, so they also held up the holy objects of their own sects, walked among the attacking soldiers, and were inspired by the priests. The rebels attacked even more crazy. They believed that under the protection of the gods, they would be invincible in the battle, and pushed the wooden boards and carts plundered from the farmhouse into the moat, and then jumped up and drew the arrows above their heads under the city wall. However, the Wielle guards on the wall would certainly not let them do this, so the arrows shuttled between these reckless farmers like locusts. The person who was shot fell into the moat with arrows. The originally clear moat water was filled with red blood.

"The whirlwind cannon attacks there." Julian, who was commanding the whirlwind cannon, suddenly saw a group of soldiers different from the ragged farmers approaching secretly in the southeast corner. They were all wearing leather armor or chain mail. Julian knew that this must be the elite soldiers of the nobles in the rebels. Although he didn't know what they wanted to do, he instinctively ordered the whirlwind cannon to attack these elite soldiers.

"Huh huh huh huh huh ~~~." Immediately, the operator of the whirlwind cannon on the city wall turned the whirlwind cannon on the city wall to the southeast corner, and then filled the skin bag with stones. Several strong Willer soldiers pulled the skin rope violently, and the stones in the skin bag were thrown high under the principle of leverage.

"Crash, crash~~~." The stones hit the southeast like raindrops, but the attacks of the stones were very scattered. The chances of hitting the elite soldiers were really limited, and they only had the effect of deterring and deterring them.

"Ba~~~~~~~~~." Even so, several lucky stones hit the heads of two elite soldiers who were trying to cross the river. Even with helmets made of leather and animal skin, they could not resist the impact of the stones. Suddenly, the two soldiers who were hit by the keys tilted their heads and fell into the river. But even if their companions were hit, the elite soldiers still jumped into the moat with arrows and stones above their heads. The river water really only flooded their thighs. Although the mud in the river hindered its progress, it was enough to slowly cross the moat.

"Arrowers concentrate their strength and shoot them to death." Julian looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. He did not expect that the elite soldiers would jump into the moat directly, and the river water would just flood their thighs. This was something he had not expected, so he immediately shouted at the guards' archers at the top of his lungs. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
