My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 386 Fire

“Yes, my lord!!”

Although these serfs can’t tell right and left, but Gervais gestures, everyone can see clearly , after getting the order of Gervais, they all started to move.

The little aristocrats on the side didn’t have any doubts and just watched at the gate of the camp.

At this time, the upstream dam should be almost completed, because the big river in front of Baiyan City has basically dried up, and there are only some low-lying puddles and trickling streams. Able to cross rivers on both legs.

However, Gervais now not only needs people to cross the river, but also needs the carriage to cross the river, so the serfs must pave a flat and hard road for the carriage to carry the wood.

The five-six hundred people worked together very efficiently, and Gervais only required the ground to be flat and firm, so it only took an hour to lay the groundwork.

In the process, although the defenders on the city wall also discovered the situation, but because the trebuchet has been dismantled, the river is more than a hundred meters away from the city wall, and it can’t hurt at all. to the working serfs.

Some of the defenders also moved their bows and arrows towards the serfs shooting arrow feathers, but the arrow feathers had lost their strength after reaching 100 meters, and didn’t do much damage at all, even if a few unlucky ones were shot by bows and arrows, But the wound wasn’t deep, and it wasn’t fatal at all.

In order to make these serfs work more at ease, Gervais asked Ike to pull out the small steel cannon and put it in the position where it was just shelled.

When the defenders on the city wall saw the small steel cannon, they immediately learned to be obedient and did not dare to shoot arrows anymore. After all, even if they shot, they would not be able to hit anyone. The strikes, it’s not worth the loss.

During this period, Rose Knight Small Captain Ender also sent someone back to report that the upstream dam had been built.

Gervais replied and told them to keep the dam up and wait for their orders!

……

“Now it’s your turn! Everyone will drive the carriage with lumber to the river to wait for me!”

Seeing the river in front finally It can be unblocked, Gervais waved his hand, and ordered the dozens of carriages responsible for the shipment of haloxylon trees.

“Yes, my lord!”

Hundreds of serfs and carriage drivers responded loudly, and then began to pull the wood moved towards Baiyan City.

“Ike! Laurie! You’re here with me and you!”

Gervais rolled over onto the unicorn’s horse and moved towards White Rock City.

Now Gervais has a lot of horses, so in addition to the personal guards, even Laurie’s 14 guards in the squad are all riding.

The two teams followed Gervais to 100 meters outside the city wall.

“You will be responsible for covering these serfs with muskets later. You must not kill the enemy, but you must prevent them from shooting arrows at these serfs, understand?”

” Yes, my lord!”

Ike and the others got the order, got off their horses, and began to untie their muskets from the saddle of the warhorse, preparing for the shooting.

At this moment, I was so close to the city wall that I could even see the puzzled expressions of the defenders on the city wall.

Because the entire group of Gervais simply didn’t look like they were coming to siege the city, a lot of noisy serfs came with their carriages, not to mention the siege ladder, they didn’t even have weapons.

“You all person listen to me, and then drive the carriage to the bottom of the city wall, and then use the fastest speed to pile the wood to the foot of the city wall!”

“ When all the wood has been unloaded, you set the wood on fire, and then you can evacuate.”

“This…”

The crowd heard Gervais’ order, watching The defenders on the city wall couldn’t help showing an expression uglier than crying.

Of course they were not embarrassed by the fire, but by the defenders on the city wall.

They didn’t even wear armor, so swaggeringly carrying lumber under the city wall, wouldn’t they die?

Although everyone was very scared, the serfs didn’t dare to say a word to Gervais.

“Don’t worry, my subordinates will cover you! Keep you safe, and even if you’re injured, I promise someone will come to rescue you!”

Of course Gervais knew What were these serfs thinking, so they opened their mouths to comfort them.

However, Gervais also knew that even with the cover of Iclauri and the others, the danger was still there, but there was no undead in war, and he could only say that he needed to minimize casualties.

And in the morning, he also dispatched 30 medical team members from the Squad, who are already waiting not far away, ready to rescue the injured at any time.

“You all listen carefully, and when I order you to move forward, give me a quick advance. If anyone is too timid to come forward, they will be dealt with as deserters.”

>

After Gervais finished his words of persuasion, he put on the majesty of a nobleman and began to intimidate these serfs. He would not be stupid enough to show kindness at this time and seek the opinions of these serfs.

“Yes! Your Excellency!”

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

A group of serfs shuddered when they heard that they were treated as deserters. It’s okay to say dead, but the family is what they care about.

“Ike, Laurie! Now you go up 30 meters and shoot freely. Anyone who dares to stand up can be targeted!”

See the serfs honestly Down, Gervais turned his head, moved towards Ike and the others ordered.

“Yes, my lord!”

Boom! boom! boom!

Afterwards, the Ikes started shooting according to Gervais’ order. They are now only more than 70 meters away from the city wall. For a musket, there is still a little bit of a quasi-head.

A round of salvos of more than 20 people caused casualties to seven or eight defenders on the city wall in an instant.

And because of the lessons of the previous small steel cannon, the defenders on the city wall now instinctively shrink their necks when they see something that will explode and emit thick smoke.

For a while, the defenders on the city wall no longer dared to sway half of their bodies out of the wall stack, but hid behind the wall stack, revealing only half of their heads for careful observation.

After three rounds of shooting by Ike and the others, seeing that the defenders on the city wall did not dare to stand up, Gervais turned around and ordered the serfs who were in charge of transporting the timber.

“Okay, now it’s your turn, now the defenders have been suppressed! Everyone move me, the wood must be piled under the city wall and set on fire!”

The serfs are all cowering, but due to the deterrence of Gervais, even if there are mountains of daggers and seas of flames in front, these people dare not defy.

So hundreds of serfs followed the carriage and slowly moved towards the city wall ahead.

As the serfs of the battallion approached the city wall, the guards on the White Rock City could no longer hide, and under the command of the superior, they came forward again, and prepared their bows and arrows to move towards the serfs to shoot.

“Five people fired a salvo, don’t leave a gap for the defenders on the city wall to shoot arrows!”

Seeing that the arrow feathers were about to fall, Gervais immediately spoke loudly, and at the same time he also shot He raised his musket, aimed directly at the head of a guard officer, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! boom! boom!

With six gunshots, the guards on the city wall had just emerged, and four more people fell down.

One of them is a Small Captain. Although he wears a helmet, he is still shot directly by Gervais, because Gervais’ musket is engraved with a strengthened rune, and the formidable power and the accurate head are more than ic and the others’ muskets are several times stronger.

Seeing that several comrades fell, including Small Captain, those guards hid behind the wall again.

If Gervais is now suppressed with longbowmen, the guards on the city wall will not be afraid, even if 20 slave longbowmen hit every shot, it will not make them completely afraid.

However, with the shadow of the small steel gun before, the musket that appears now also allows them to have one’s hair stand on end.

Known dangers don’t terrifying, what really provokes the fear of these elite soldiers is the unknown dangers.

There are traces of the arrow feathers shooting each other anyway, and the ballistic trajectory of the arrow feathers can be seen, but the projectiles fired by the long muskets are impossible for these ordinary soldiers to capture with meat.

So in their perception, the weapon in front of them that would make a loud noise and smoke was like witchcraft.

As long as the long musket smokes and sounds, someone must fall to the ground and die, and there is no way to avoid it. This is the most important reason why the defenders are afraid to show up.

Of course, there are other factors too. For example, the serfs in the city don’t even bring weapons and siege ladders, so they don’t look like sieges.

Therefore, the reaction of the defenders was a little negative, and I wanted to wait and see what the hell these serfs were doing.

……

The serfs who were in charge of transporting the timber trembled and came to the bottom of the city wall, and saw that the defenders on their heads didn’t really shoot arrows at them. The feeling of avoiding a catastrophe.

Quickly unload all the wood under the city wall, and after igniting all the wood according to Gervais’ instructions, everyone used all one’s strength moved towards the direction they came from and ran back.

“Very well, it went even better than I expected!”

Gervais also didn’t expect that the plan to transport the timber this time went smoothly without any casualties. He was very satisfied. Seeing that the wood under the city wall was lit one after another, the raging fire began to burn, and Gervais explained loudly to the serfs who had just returned.

“You are doing a great job. Next, all of you will continue to ship lumber, and you can’t let the fire under the city wall go out!”

Thanks to “Gothic Swastika Walking Warrior” for the fight. reward! ! !
