My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 376 Fighting for positions (three-in-one, “Kitty Mi” rewards plus more! Monthly ticket plus more!)

When Gervais stood on the gentle slope two miles outside Baiyan City, watching Baiyan City under the setting sun, I understand why King Lawrence did not order the city to storm the city during the southern expedition in previous years.

Because this city is completely prepared for war.

In fact, the scale of Baiyan City is not large, and the city wall is only three kilometers in radius.

However, in addition to the towering city wall that is more than ten meters high and rises directly from the gentle ground, the more special part of this city is that its city gate not only has a urn, but also has a very special gate. It’s small, and it’s the width that a carriage can pass through, which is also not seen in other ordinary cities.

Other cities In order to facilitate the residents to enter and exit the city, the gates of the city wall are wide, and some big cities even have two or three gates, which are used to divert people, vehicles and horses.

“Alice, I don’t think we should think about the first merit reward! Some of it is not worth it!”

At this moment, the soldiers are all busy setting up their camps, and there are only nobles like Gervais. Only then can you stand leisurely on the gentle slope and look at Baiyan City not far away.

“This city is really hard to conquer!”

Although Alice is a woman, as the heir to the title of count, she also has a little background in this aspect, and she can see that The difficulty and cost of winning this city.

“Hey! It’s more than difficult to capture. If the enemy’s will to fight is strong enough, you need to pay at least double the price to win this city.”

“Alice, take out the telescope and take a look at the layout on the city walls.”

Gervais heard what Alice meant. Although storming the city would definitely cost a lot of casualties, Alice seemed The reward promised by the king was also moved.

I just used naked eyes to observe the entire Baiyan City, and now Gervais has taken out the single-tube telescope that was placed in the skin bag around his waist.

When he looked towards the top of the city wall with the monocular telescope, he was immediately sucked in a cold breath.

I saw that the aisle above the city wall was completely covered by the wooden shed. With the blessing of the telescope, Gervais could see that the wooden shed was also covered with thick sand for reinforcement.

With this roof, that means that when attacking the city, your own bows and arrows basically have no effect on the enemy on the city wall.

In addition to the huge roof, Gervais also saw a lot of trebuchets on the city wall.

From the comparison of the body size of the defenders on the city wall, the trebuchet on the city wall should be the smallest, and the throwing distance is not too far, at most twice as strong as the bow and arrow .

But there are too many trebuchets, basically there are two trebuchets every 50 meters.

These trebuchets are placed on the platform reserved by the city wall. This protruding platform was reserved when it was built, and it will not affect the soldiers’ passing on the city wall.

Thinking that when his own team is attacking, in addition to defending against the enemy’s arrow rain, he also needs to worry about the big bowl of stones falling from the sky like fairy flowers, and Gervais suddenly felt a little chilly.

“Fortunately, there are no ballistas in this world. If dozens of ballistas are placed on the city wall, what’s the point of attacking? Go home early and sleep.”

“But it’s pretty much the same now. Who is going to be an idiot!”

After silently reading the fortifications that could be observed on the city wall, Gervais complained in his heart.

Anyway, he wasn’t ready to go there. He only had a few small cats or dogs. If he died, he would be general without an army when he returned.

In addition, Gervais is also thinking about how to persuade his cheap wife to dismiss the idea.

“Ding!”

“You are experiencing the first major battle in your life. In order to reflect the extraordinaryness of being a system owner, you must be brave enough!”

“System Mission: You must be the first to invade White Rock City in this Battle of White Rock City!”

“Quest Reward: 10 Energy Points, plus one random lottery on the Lucky Wheel!”

“…!!!???”

When Gervais heard the ding in his head, he knew he shouldn’t be mean.

Because his system doesn’t seem to exist when people are smooth, but as long as you encounter any big trouble, it will definitely step on it.

It is easy to set up a flag in front of it, but it is difficult to protect it!

“system! You jumped out and slapped me in the face like this, really?”

Gervais complexion azure-white.

Although system’s mission reward this time made Gervais very envious, equivalent to a full twenty energy points, but Gervais was really not sure to complete the mission.

“Gervais, maybe you’re right, maybe we really don’t have to…”

Alice used the telescope that Gervais gave her to see the arming on the city wall Clearly.

At this moment, she finally had the idea of discarding the scramble for rewards, because the Jones family couldn’t afford any big losses.

Otherwise, even if this time is rewarded, the Jones family will also attract more coveted because of its weakened strength.

“No, Alice, we can’t make a decision so quickly, let’s see tomorrow!”

Gervais felt a little hot on his face, the previous It took a second to say who was going to be an idiot, but the next second, he swallowed these words in his stomach.

“Huh?”

This time it was Alice’s turn to be a little confused.

Along the way, all the vassals were enthusiastically discussing this reward, but only Gervais looked as usual, and did not say anything related to it on the way.

Even the first second, he tried to persuade himself, why didn’t expect Gervais to make a 180-degree turn in the next second.

“Cough! Look, the two teams of Rangers below are fighting!”

Gervais was extremely embarrassed, just now he saw a kilometer ahead, two teams of cavalry were chasing each other and fighting. , so he quickly changed the subject, moved towards Gentle Slope and pointed down.

Under the gentle slope ahead, two teams of cavalry were chasing each other with bows and arrows, belonging to Jean dukedom and Alban dukedom respectively.

These are two teams of Scout Rangers, each with a small number of only a dozen people.

The Rangers of the Dukedom of Alban had been wandering in the vicinity when Gervais and the others arrived at White Rock City, investigating all aspects of the southern expedition.

And the Rangers on Jean dukedom’s side certainly won’t let them do, they are all under the command of King Lawrence.

From the moment they left the City of Glory, Jean dukedom’s rangers have been wandering all around the southern expedition, responsible for exploring the way or driving away the enemy rangers.

Although the main force of both sides has not yet met, the battle of these Rangers has been going on all day.

Gervais They could see the dead bodies of many Rangers along the way, including Jean dukedom’s and enemy’s.

……

This camping went on until night, and it took more than three hours.

At present, this is a simple camp, but fences are placed outside the camp, and there is a simple towering arrow tower every 100 meters. When tomorrow, a trench will be dug outside the camp for use. To defend against possible enemy cavalry onslaught.

This time, there is no distinction between the camps of several count families, because every two count families are divided into a group, showing a square guard all around the king’s camp.

It was night, and when dinner was over, Gervais was ordered by Alice to follow him to the central camp where the king belonged.

Following Alice to the tent where the king belonged, Gervais realized that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked.

This king’s council hall is covered with soft and precious carpets, and there is no shortage of all kinds of refined art.

In the innermost end of the tent, a small high platform was also padded, and the king sat on the throne of the high platform.

As for the eight counts, they sat on the soft chairs on both sides.

If you ignore the rectangular tent, the interior decoration is actually exactly the same as what Gervais saw in the palace that day.

“Now that I have reached the bottom of White Rock City, I am going to win the entire Dukedom of Alban one after another, so the date of our southern expedition is very urgent, and I hope to win it within five days. White Rock City!”

The king sat on the throne and leaned slightly, his right hand on the armrest lightly tapping his fingers on the armrest.

“Your Majesty, are some wives in a hurry in five days! It takes at least one day to make a siege ladder. There are 5,000 Hayden’s direct guards and more than 2,000 serfs and auxiliary soldiers in Baiyan City.”

“Yes! It is necessary. If you want to capture Baiyan City within five days, you will have to pay a lot of casualties. If Your Majesty can prolong the time, it can consume the morale of the defenders in the city, when the time Come in a spurt of energy to take down the White Rock City, this is the most reasonable plan.”

The count below heard the date set by the king, and his brows could not help wrinkling, the date was too short, so he It means that the imposing manner of both sides is climaxing, which is very unfavorable for the siege side, and will inevitably cause huge casualties!

However, if the time can be extended, the limited troops in the city will be consumed while the siege is ongoing, and their will will be overwhelmed.

After all, their number is more than ten times that of the enemy. When the time comes, as long as they take turns to attack, after more than ten days, the thousands of people in the city will be guaranteed to defend day and night, and they will be in panic all day long. , and when their morale is extremely low, they will attack again, and they will definitely be able to take Baiyan City at the least cost.

“Oh! How many days do you think is suitable?”

Hearing the many objections below, King Lawrence did not have any changes in his expression, but asked indifferently. one sentence.

The counts below looked at each other a few times. Although they didn’t talk about it, they naturally had the same opinion in their hearts for these battle-hardened veterans.

“Fifteen days, Your Majesty, it only takes fifteen days, you can definitely win the White Rock City at the smallest price!”

The person who spoke was Alice’s grandfather, the northern one. Lord, at this moment they are all standing on the united front, and since this place belongs to him with the oldest qualifications, he naturally gave it to him.

“Fifteen days? Too long! There are only three months until the winter!”

The king was not satisfied with the date of fifteen days, although he knew it It is the limit that these great nobles can accept.

After all, if you can surround Baiyan City for two months, or even longer, the casualties will be lower when the time comes, but in order to have enough time for the follow-up attack, the king cannot accept this. Spend a long time on White Rock City.

“Seven days, you must take Baiyan City within seven days!”

The king thought for a while, and finally said it again, but this time his tone was changed. uttered in a tone of voice.

The few counts below heard the king’s words and knew that there was absolutely no possibility of bargaining now, and everyone frowned deeper.

It was originally intended to attack Baiyan City because there was no need to hand over the reward of spoíls of war, but now it seems that this gain is not lost much.

The most important thing is that only one of the families can get this reward, but the other seven families can’t get any benefits. No one is 100% sure that they will be the first. Invade White Rock City and defend the entrance.

For a while, the big account fell into silence.

The king was not impatient or angry when he saw this situation. This is the normal state of this world.

There is no saying here that if the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. Instead, the probability that the monarch wants the minister to die and the minister wants you to die first is greater.

“I know this attack must be a brutal one, so I will continue to announce a reward.”

“In addition to the reward promised in the morning, this attack will In the battle of Yancheng, the first family can get Fiefdom of two Viscounties!”

“Apart from this, according to the credit, each of the last two families can get a piece of Fiefdom of Viscounty, and the rest Family, as long as you fight hard, you can get a piece of Baron Territory.”

“The location of the territory can be chosen by you, as long as it is a territory adjacent to you!”

In an instant, the counts below were all shocked, such a reward was too generous.

Not to mention the size of the territory, the location of the territory is optional, which is unprecedented.

You must know that the territories that can stay in the name of the king’s own family are mostly resource-rich or fertile territories, how this makes them uneasy.

“The King Your Majesty is generous, my Charles family is willing to serve you!”

“The King Your Majesty is generous, and the Jin Family is willing to serve you!”

“The King Your Majesty…”

Next, all the counts got up from the soft chairs and respectfully expressed their hearts to the king.

“Very good!”

The king was expressionless and nodded. He was not surprised by the count’s remarks. Instead, he emphasized his tone in the next moment and continued with a hint of coldness: “However, I have to warn you in advance that in this battle, if any clan neglects, not only will there be no rewards, but the distribution of spoíls of war will also be reduced accordingly in the next southern expedition!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Faced with such temptation, of course, no family is willing to give up, and everyone’s face paled and they agreed seriously.

“Since the deadline has been set, let me discuss with you the distribution of this attack.”

Following King Lawrence’s words, two attendants left immediately. After he came out, he brought a wooden shelf with a simple map hanging on it. This is the Terrain Map near White Rock City.

The mountains and rivers on the Terrain Map are clearly marked.

“Baiyan City is surrounded by water on one side, and flat grass in the other three directions. Although there is a fifty-meter-wide moat, it is not difficult.”

The king’s side He pointed to the simple map and said.

“We have ten times the strength of the enemy. In order to quickly capture Baiyan City, we need to attack Baiyan City in an all-round way, without giving them any chance to breathe!”

” Although the guards directly under Hayden may not abandon the city and escape, in order to avoid Stranded Beast’s Struggle, we still need to set aside a city wall for them to have a chance to escape.”

This The second attack on Baiyan City was not to annihilate the defenders in the city, but to take down Baiyan City and pull out the nail in the rear, so if the enemy really abandoned the city and escaped, everyone would be attractive spectacle.

“The north is the main gate of Baiyan City, which is where we are now. Here is the city wall that we must attack, and the other city wall that I want to attack, I decided to put it in the east.””

“And to the west is the river, and Hayden’s guards cannot escape from there even if they want to escape, so the south must be left for them to use as an escape route. “

“So the directions of our attack this time are north, east and west! ”

Speaking of this, the king raised the teacup beside him and took a sip. Seeing that no one in the count below spoke, he continued.

“The north and east sides of this attack are the main attack. I plan to have four families on each side to coordinate the attack. I will also send people to attack with you in the north, so only three families are needed. , four families are needed in the east, and only one family is needed in the west to attack! Tell me, do you have any opinions?”

The count below has been thinking about the distribution of the king, and found that there is no Questions, so they opened the mouth and said: “Your Majesty, everything is up to you!”

“Well, since there is no opinion, then you can talk about which side of the city wall you want to attack! “

King Lawrence nodded, said with satisfaction.

“Your Majesty, I would like to fight with your team in the north!”

“Your Majesty, I would like to be in the north…”

“Your Majesty Majesty, I’d like to be in the east…”

Several counts suddenly became uneasy, and they couldn’t wait to start expressing their wishes. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they attack in the north or in the east. , but no one was willing to be assigned to the west attack of White Rock City.

Because there the king has made it clear that there is only one family responsible for the attack in the west.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, there were few attackers, and the defenders were impossible. All the foolish people were guarding the west.

The problem is that the location on the west side is very pitted. There is a big river flowing through Baiyan City. The river is only 100 meters away from the city wall of Baiyan City. As long as you stand on the shore, it is the attack range of the enemy longbowmen.

Forget about attacking in such a position, you still need to figure out a way to cross the river. This is a pit. The reason why the king wants to set up a family here is just to disperse the enemy’s forces.

As a count scrambled for a spot, the tent was like a vegetable market for a while, it was extremely noisy, no one wanted to be put to the west, and it was frozen for a while, and the king was also patient. The temperament did not make a statement.

“Everyone count, be quiet and listen to me!”

After a stalemate for half a minute, Nemio of the Charles family suddenly turned his head and thought of something. The solution, so he immediately spoke loudly to suppress the voices of the count.

The counts knew that this was not the way to go, so after hearing Charles’ words, they all stopped arguing and looked towards Charles.

“Your Majesty, arguing like this will never end, no one is willing to give up this great reward, so, I think! Why don’t we follow the order of camping outside the City of Glory? Choose, so that everyone has nothing to say!”

Charles’ voice fell, and the eyes of all the counts in the field lit up. Obviously, this method is the most suitable for them, anyway, they are ranked last It’s not them.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Alice again.

“Charles, are you provocative?”

Alice hadn’t said anything yet, but the Lord of the North couldn’t sit still. He patted the armrest of the chair and stood up. Grim-faced looked towards Nemio.

Obviously, Nemio’s idea was aimed at the Jones family, because the Jones family was the last in the camp.

“hmph, Gust, you can’t talk nonsense, I just said the most reasonable arrangement, you ask if the other counts have the same idea as me!”

At this moment, Nemio is not afraid of the Lord of the North at all, because he knows that at this moment, the king will never let the Lord of the North come to him.

Although the other counts won’t agree with Nemio at the moment, this method is indeed beneficial to them, and everyone has acquiesced.

“Even if the Jones family is ranked by strength, the Jones family will not be ranked last. How dare you tell me this is the most reasonable arrangement? You are believing or not and I will tear you apart now!”

When facing Alice, the Lord of the North is a kind elder, but when facing outsiders, he is definitely a strong and irritable brother.

In the face of a sinister guy like Nemio, Gust always speaks with his fists.

Speaking, the Lord of the North has already stepped forward to teach Nemio a profound lesson.

“Okay, Gust, don’t worry, sit down first!”

Finally, the king saw that there was going to be a fight in the tent, and he immediately stopped in a deep voice. .

“You all sit down too!”

With this, the Lord of the North gave Nemio a fiercely wicked look, then reluctantly returned to his place.

“Alice count, do you have any comments?”

“Your Majesty…”

The Lord of the North spoke again.

“Grandfather, it’s alright, you don’t have to worry about me!”

Alice interrupted the Lord of the North with a smile, and called the head.

“Your Majesty, Nemio count’s method is really reasonable, I have no opinion, it’s all up to Your Majesty.”

Alice certainly knew what these counts were thinking, but now The Jones family is weak, and if she wants to compete, she is bound to offend the other five count families at the same time, which falls into Nemio’s trap.

Even his grandfather had to offend these families, so Alice simply didn’t fight.

Although there must be no future for attacking in the west, and no great credit will be obtained, but in the same way, the casualties of attacking in the west will certainly be much smaller, and the king will not be demanding that a single family do anything great. .

And when the time comes you can still get a piece of Baron Fiefdom, which is a good choice for the current Jones family.

“In that case, Alice count, the western offensive is up to you!”

King Lawrence was nodded with satisfaction, and there was a little satisfaction in his words.

And when the Lord of the North heard this, he could only sigh helplessly. Alice gave up the fight, and his grandfather had no choice. After all, he was not alone, and there was Wynton behind him. family.

The most important thing is that he doesn’t have many years left to live, nor can he make enemies for the Winton family recklessly at this time.

The attacking clan in the west is selected, and the next thing is much simpler. They are assigned to the north and east of Baiyan City to carry out the main attack according to the order of the clans.

To the north, King Lawrence led three families, including the Charles family and the La Jin family, to take charge of the attack.

In the east, four count families, including Wynton, Kewan and other families, are responsible for the attack.

On the west side, the Jones family is solely responsible for the offense.

As for the siege to the south, there are three missing one, and no garrison is placed, so that the defenders in Baiyan City can escape.
