My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 379 Burn with fire!

After returning to the camp, Gervais went to see Alice nonstop and told Alice about the Alban dukedom damming upstream.

Alice also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately sent Gervais fifty rose knights, asking him to take someone to check.

Coincidentally, this time Alice sent Gervais to Small Captain Ender, who followed Gervais to Larkin’s raid last time.

He set off from the camp again with Ender entire group Gervais, moved towards the gate of the camp, but when he walked in front of the Charles family, he happened to see Nemio.

At this moment, Nemio also sensed the existence of Gervais and was looking at him with cold eyes.

“Boy, let’s be proud of you for a few days!”

Seeing Gervais ignore his gaze, strutting across the camp with the rose Knight, Nemio wanted to A sword cut off Gervais, but thinking of the account of the Lord of the North and the king, he could only endure it through gritted teeth.

The encounter with Nemio didn’t bother Gervais much, and he was sure he was perfectly safe during this time.

After exiting the camp, Gervais, with fifty Rose Knights and his own bodyguards, began to speed up the horse, moved towards the Western District of White Rock and galloped up the river.

In this backward world, roads are generally opened along rivers, which not only has sufficient water sources, but also reduces the probability of getting lost.

The big river outside White Rock City also has a wide dirt road, which is convenient for Gervais and the others.

It took only twenty minutes to walk up the river, and Gervais and the others saw the dam that Barna had mentioned.

From this distance, the dam is only half-finished and not fully built. Hundreds of silhouettes are constantly working on the river bank.

“Sir, you see there are a lot of people in the camp over there!”

At this time, Ike pointed to the camp beside the dam and said.

The camp by the river not far away has no fence, just set up a few tents at will, and there are some soldiers sitting or standing in the camp.

Gervais took the monocular telescope and took a closer look again, and there was nothing different from the news that Barna gave him. There should be more than 30 guards in the camp.

And all around did not find any extra ambush.

“Get ready for battle! We’ll take that camp!”

After confirming the situation, Gervais no longer delays, and wants to rely on his own people to charge the enemy with one round solve.

“Yes! Your Excellency!”

Rose Knight and his bodyguard responded immediately, clang clang clang pulled out the long sword.

Afterwards, Gervais and his group of more than 60 people no longer concealed their stature, holding the long sword and urging the horse to charge towards the camp on the bank of the river ahead.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!”

Although the entire group of Gervais only has more than 60 rides, the rumbling of hooves is not small. The power was heard by the soldiers stationed in the camp half a mile away.

At this moment, the only 30-odd rangers left in the camp began to give a loud warning, and at the same time, they quickly unfastened the reins of the warhorses tied to the camp’s stakes, and then skillfully turned on their horses.

“Rangers! Target the enemy cavalry! Charge!”

These Rangers, who are directly under Hayden’s Guards, are no less elite, five more than a hundred meters away from Gervais and It took a little over half a minute for the others to come, but all the rangers in the camp had already turned on their horses and gathered together.

“Kill!”

Alban’s Dukedom’s 30-odd rangers were not afraid of Gervais and the others at all, and drew their long swords and galloped to compete with Gervais and the others relatively.

The torrents of the two sides collided suddenly like a rushing train, and suddenly people neighed, blade and sword collide.

But even though Alban’s dukedom’s Rangers are brave, fierce and unafraid of death, everything is useless under the huge disparity of strength.

Gervais’ guards have fully armed mithril equipment, not to mention. Since the last time Gervais gave Alice 50 grams of mithril, even today’s Rose Knight regiment has all weapons. It has been replaced with a long sword forged by Mithril.

The Mithril long sword is supported by the high-speed impact of the warhorse, even if the cavalry does not need to slash the long sword, just relying on this impact can break through the thin leather armor of the rangers and harvest their lives.

Sixty against thirty, a wave came down, only three of Alban’s dukedom’s rangers could stand on horseback, and Gervais had only two rose knight arms. He was slightly injured, but he was still able to move freely on horseback.

After the formations were staggered, Gervais turned the horses, thinking that the remaining four Rangers would pick up and flee, just like the Rangers had done earlier.

But what Gervais didn’t expect was that not only did the other three remaining rangers not escape, but after turning the horse’s head, they immediately urged the warhorse to continue moving towards Gervais and their formation. rush.

“Rangers! Target the enemy cavalry team! Crush!”

“Surrender and don’t kill!”

Although they are enemies of each other, these three life journeys The cavalry’s fierce and unafraid of death raised Gervais with admiration.

There are more than 60 people on my side, and it would not be a shame if they ran away immediately, but now it is obvious that they have the will to die.

“Kill!”

The three rangers did not respond to Gervais’ words of persuasion to surrender, but slapped the horse’s belly and quickly moved towards Gervais.

pu! pu! pu!

Seeing this, Gervais didn’t say any more, and personally urged the unicorn to greet him, Mithril long sword flashed under the sunlight Moving the cold glow, a few dull sounds came out, and the three rangers died under Gervais’ long sword.

Although I admire the fierce and unafraid of death of these Rangers, since they refuse to surrender, then Gervais will not be soft-hearted. After all, this is war, the kindness to the enemy, the final price is his own life Or your own life.

…

“Ender, take someone to gather those serfs who built the dam, don’t let them run away.”

Gervais entire The battle between the group and these rangers was resolved within a few minutes, but the serfs who were building the dam at the side saw that the situation was not right, and they had already taken this opportunity to move towards and run away.

These serfs can now be regarded as Gervais’ spoíls of war, which can be brought back as laborers or sold to slave traders, so of course Gervais won’t let them escape.

“Yes, my lord!”

Under the order of Gervais, fifty rose Knights quickly mobilized their war horses, and moved towards the serfs who were running around in groups of two.

After Ender and the others were gone, Gervais dismounted and went to the big river bank.

This is indeed a shoal, and there is a drop of three or four meters between the water surface and the shore on both sides. As long as a dam is built here, a huge reservoir can be formed.

At this moment, the dam has been built halfway, and it is made of trees and stones. Although it is not very strong, in the autumn, it will be fine for a few months.

Seeing the unfinished dam in front of her, Gervais was lost in thought.

“Build a dam and cut the flow of the river here for three or four days. This place can definitely be filled with tens of millions of cubic meters of river water.”

“When the time comes, if the dam suddenly If it is destroyed, the torrent will definitely submerge all around Baiyan City, but the city wall of Baiyan City is made of rock, which is too strong, even if this flood can submerge half of the city wall, it will never collapse the city wall.”

For the first mission to rush into Baiyan City, Gervais is also very greedy now. Not only does the spoíls of war need not be turned in, but the reward for the system mission alone is equivalent to more than 2,000 gold coins, but he There is currently no way to complete this task, especially if it can be done with minimal loss.

In fact, in addition to flooding, Gervais had another idea in his mind, and of course, that was just an idea.

In the previous life, Gervais read some novels. In the novels, they described digging a deep hole under the city wall, and then putting gunpowder in a huge container, such as a coffin, and placing it under the city wall. when the time comes a little fire can blow up the entire City Wall section with a bang.

But Gervais isn’t sure if it’s feasible, after all, it’s just a novel without any scientific basis.

What’s more, even if it’s a pity, Gervais doesn’t have that much gunpowder for him to have a big explosion.

The city wall of Baiyan City is more than ten meters high, and the base is at least four meters thick in proportion. The dynamite that is used can’t blow up the city wall of Baiyan City at all.

“Adult! The little one found more than a dozen fatty fish by the river. Would you like the little ones to roast them for you to try?”

Just as Gervais stood in the river While he was in a daze, Ike usually carried a bunch of fresh river fish from the river bank.

These river fish are artificially raised on the shore, apparently for lunch or dinner, but now they are cheaper for Gervais and the others.

“Alright! You can deal with it!”

Gervais slammed it, the past few days were all marching, although there was hot food, but that was all The bacon and bread prepared in advance, the fresh ingredients have not been tasted for more than ten days.

It will take some time for Rose Knight to gather those serfs who escaped. After all, those serfs are fleeing everywhere. Even if they can’t escape far, it will always be a little troublesome to catch them.

Soon, several live river fish were cleaned by Ike and the others with short blades.

This camp also has tools for cooking.

Ten river fish are used for braising, five river fish are used for charcoal grilling, and their horses are also prepared for spices, so there is no need to worry about the taste.

I randomly built a simple stove with stones, put a wok on it, and Gervais sat on the side watching Ike and the others do it.

There are more than 60 people in their entire group. The whole big iron pot was filled with water. As the dry wood burned, the water in the pot began to boil.

Because there was too much water, the boiling soup would come out of the pot from time to time and drip onto the stones below which were used as stoves.

Chi-la… Chi-la…

The soup water fell on the hot stones, evaporated instantly, turned into a white mist, and re-dispersed on the rocks. up in the air.

This ordinary scene fell into Gervais’ eyes, but Gervais was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Gervais stood up abruptly, and muttered: “Yeah! Why am I so stupid! Burn it!”

“Haha! There is a way! I really am a genius!”

Everyone, I didn’t go home at noon, sorry!
