My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 388 Night Raid (2-in-1)

Gervais returned to his tent, wiped his face at will, and lay on the cot wearing leather armor.

While Gervais lay drowsy, Alice, who had just returned from the king’s side, woke him up.

“What, a Fiefdom the size of a Baron’s collar as a reward?”

Gervais had long guessed that the king called Alice and the others because of the small steel cannon. It’s no surprise.

On the contrary, Gervais was moved when he heard that the king had paid the price and took out a piece of Fiefdom the size of a Baron collar as a reward.

The Fiefdom of this world is permanent, that is to say, as long as Jean dukedom still exists, then these Fiefdoms can be passed on to future generations, and the king’s Fiefdoms are all fat, and they are easily reluctant to cut the meat. .

This time, in order to capture Baiyan City as soon as possible, the king really made a lot of money. Such an opportunity is really rare.

“Yes, Gervais, the king promised in public, as long as you can deal with those trebuchets on the north and east city walls, Fiefdom is your choice!”

“So , Gervais, do we need to agree!”

Alice nodded earnestly, watching Gervais waiting for his reply.

Alice didn’t tell Gervais that the Jones family could get involved in this territory, but she didn’t intend to do so, so there was no need to tell Gervais.

To Alice now, Gervais is as important to her as this rich piece of Baron.

Don’t look at Alice’s cold appearance, an inviolable Goddess appearance, but such people are often the most emotional, and under that cold appearance, they have the purest side of a noble lady.

“Of course I do! Whoever does not promise such benefits is stupid!”

Gervais slapped the table, anyway, the king said, just make the trebuchets on the city wall no longer It’s enough to threaten the siege team, which Gervais thinks shouldn’t be difficult and a good deal.

Although his gunpowder stock has been consumed by half, the sharpness of his small steel gun must have been seen by the defenders of Baiyan City. When the time comes, he only needs to fire a few guns. Need to get busy dismantling the trebuchet.

In this world, the cost of making catapults is like the intercontinental missiles in the previous life, and it is absolutely impossible to do without huge investment and craftsmanship.

Otherwise, big count families like Alice wouldn’t have only single-digit large trebuchets.

After the decision to agree to the king’s request, Gervais took the small steel cannon to the north city wall without stopping.

Five more than a hundred meters away from the north city wall, under the attention of all the people, the small steel gun once again opened the eyes of these nobles who have never seen the world.

With the sound of the small steel cannon, the biggest threat that was originally pressing on the siege team was eliminated.

Gervais fired three shots in a row, and the defenders on the city wall began to hurriedly dismantle the trebuchets, and then moved the dismantled trebuchets to the bottom of the city wall, as in the west of the city wall.

“Your Majesty, the trebuchets on the north city wall have been removed, so let’s go to the east city wall now!”

Gervais commanded and controlled the small steel cannon in the front. Alice was standing beside the king with a group of counts in the back.

“Haha! Alice, Viscount Gervais is really an excellent young man, and this little steel cannon has opened my eyes! As a member of the Jean family, even in the previous dynasty, so I’m also unheard-of.”

“Since the trebuchet here has been solved, then you can go to the east!”

Seeing Gervais’ small steel cannon As a result, the defenders of Baiyan City had to disassemble the trebuchet, and the king laughed happily.

He also knew that Alice’s words actually meant a reminder to him, so he continued: “As for the rewarded Fiefdom, I will not break my promise again. After the Southern Expedition, this Baron will be yours to choose!”

Although these trebuchets are only dismantled, not completely destroyed, the effect is similar.

This small catapult is used on the city wall, so fixing and installation is a very tedious thing. If you want to reinstall such a large number of catapults, it will take at least half a day. time.

With this half day, if the defenders of White Rock City are ready to use trebuchets again, then the king will have enough time for Gervais to continue to strike with small steel cannons.

So now the king has not hesitated to honor his promised reward.

“Thanks Your Majesty!”

After being confirmed by the king again, Alice is relieved.

Now, under the watchful eyes of the public, the king really has no chance of breaking his promise!

Then Gervais and Alice came to the east city wall with small steel cannons, where Gervais just fired a cannon, and the defenders on the city wall quickly dismantled all the trebuchets down.

……

Time flies, it is already the fourth day of the attack on Baiyan City.

In the next three days, the battle in White Rock City became more and more intense, both the soldiers of Jean dukedom and the defenders on the city wall had already killed red eyes.

Even the moat at the foot of the city wall has been dyed red with blood.

The past few days, Jean dukedom has sacrificed the lives of three thousand soldiers.

As for the defenders of Baiyan City, according to the report of the siege team’s return to register their military exploits, there were already thousands of casualties.

As the defending side of the city, the defenders of Baiyan City occupy the geographical advantage and the casualties are much smaller than that of Jean dukedom, which is as it should be by rights.

However, over time, this geographical advantage has gradually disappeared, because the number of defenders in Baiyan City is too small.

Even with the addition of those serfs, the number of people in the entire Baiyan City is only about 7,000, and these 7,000 people still need to be scattered around the city wall. The wheel-to-wheel battle, which is divided into day and night, has almost overwhelmed the will of the defenders.

If these defenders are not the direct guards of Alban Dukedom King Hayden, they can be called the elite of the elite, it is very likely that the White Rock City has been destroyed by this time.

But even so, Baiyan City is now in danger, and the soldiers guarding the city are exhausted, and many of them haven’t closed their eyes with peace of mind for days and nights.

On the first and second day, there were trebuchets for mass destruction of the siege team, but since the trebuchets were gone, Jean dukedom’s offensive has become more violent.

Nowadays there are often many rounds of siege, and the soldiers of Jean dukedom can climb the city wall and fight with the soldiers defending the city.

Although in the end these siege soldiers were all driven down and could not really occupy the city wall, but such a situation means that the day of breaking the city is approaching.

Now Jean dukedom is still sieging the city by family and family, and there are only 1,000 siege teams each time.

But once the king of Jean dukedom stops the wheel battle and chooses to start the general attack, then White Rock City is likely to be unable to hold.

Slot is standing on the city wall of the Northern Part of City in Baiyan, looking at the scene a mile away. There is now a siege team of thousands of people who are about to launch an attack on Baiyan City. attack.

Slot is the supreme commander of White Rock City. In addition to being the supreme commander of White Rock City, he is actually the biological brother of King Alban Dukedom Hayden, and a marquis with the strength of the golden Peak Knight.

Slot has been stationed in White Rock City for more than 20 years. Every autumn, he will personally sit in White Rock City to prevent Jean dukedom from attacking White Rock City.

Originally, over the years, White Rock City and Jean dukedom had a very tacit understanding, and there was no major friction between the two sides.

However, this year, Jean dukedom was uncharacteristically, which surprised Slot, and Jean dukedom attacked White Rock City.

This made Sloter understand that this year’s Lawrence’s southern expedition may not be just looting outside the Alban Dukedom like in previous years, and it is likely that he wants to win the entire Alban Dukedom in one fell swoop.

Faced with such a situation, Baiyan City is now many times more important than in previous years.

Because as long as White Rock City is there, or if it persists longer, Lawrence’s plan this year will be shattered, and Alban Dukedom will be able to make more deployments next year.

It is so difficult to defend Baiyan City in the face of more than ten times more unknown enemies than our own.

Although the news of Baiyancheng has been immediately sent back to the capital by Slot, but he is very worried about whether he can wait for domestic support.

I’m afraid I can’t support Baiyan City for a few days now, and even if I’m a Gold Peak Knight, I can’t do anything.

Because Jean dukedom not only has two golden Peak Knights, Lawrence and Gust, but also six ordinary golden Knights.

With such an amount of high-end martial power, it would be impossible for Slot to confront each other even if he wanted to.

The reason why these highest martial powers on both sides have not directly started is entirely because it has not yet reached this point in time.

“I hope the reinforcements will arrive in time!”

Sloter muttered to himself.

At this time, the horn of the siege sounded again in the distance, Slot’s face was calm, and the worry in his heart did not show on his face.

Slot turned around and ordered loudly to the Captains beside him: “Everyone go back to their posts! As long as they persist for two more days, our reinforcements will surely arrive!”

“Yes! Your Excellency!”

“Also, pass my order! Kill an enemy lord and reward 2 gold coins! Kill an ordinary soldier and reward 5 Silver Coins!”

“Yes, my lord!”

In an instant, whether it was these Captains or those soldiers in the distance, hearing this Slot said the reward, and the spirit was immediately shocked, and the originally tired body also cheered up a little .

……

In these three days, the east and north sides of Baiyan City were fighting all the time.

But the city wall in the Western District of Baiyan has a completely different situation. Compared with the other two city walls, it can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful.

Especially the husband of Lord Count, Viscount Gervais, he actually started eating and drinking nonsense directly outside the camp gate.

Gervais reclines on a chaise longue borrowed from Codd, enjoying the caress of the warm autumn sun.

When you are tired, there is Lilia, the zero-hour maid, rubbing her shoulders. When you are thirsty, you have delicious wine to quench your thirst. When you are hungry, there are a lot of fresh game and river fish.

If it weren’t for the raging fire under the city wall in the distance, this place seems to have really become a good place for camping and autumn.

“Gervais, how can you still sit still? Now there are a lot of people in the camp talking about you in private!”

Bart little fatty gulped down half a glass of wine , and immediately grabbed another river fish that was roasted to golden brown and started to eat, talking to Gervais while eating.

“Oh? What did they say about me?”

Gervais moved towards Lilia, who moved towards the back. towards Bart little fatty.

“Don’t be angry when I told you!”

“They said your brain was broken and wanted to burn the city wall with fire! They also said they would isolate you in the future, it’s you So that they can’t win the reward issued by the king!”

Bart replied to Gervais after he had solved a grilled fish of at least a kilogram efficiently.

“Also, I just heard that they are going to protest at Lord Count, hoping to start the siege as soon as possible.”

“Oh! They are also going to protest!”

“Oh! p>

Gervais lightly Oh, and then no more, and began to drink wine leisurely.

This disappointed little Bart, who wanted to see if Gervais would be nervous.

So Bart leaned down again and whispered to Gervais: “Gervais, can you tell me why you set the city wall on fire, is there any other plan?”

p>

“This! When the time comes you’ll know!”

Of course Gervais wouldn’t reveal it to Bart’s little fatty now, otherwise, how would he slap those little nobles who questioned him.

The past few days in the camp, of course, they knew about themselves discussing spiritedly Gervais, but the more heated the discussion, the more Gervais felt that when the time came, the more they were slapped in the face, so he was very calm, whatever. Its development, in order to add fuel to the fire, Gervais is eating and drinking merrily directly at the gate of this camp.

In fact, these two days not only in the Jones family’s camp, but also in the camps to the east and north of Baokuo.

For a while, Gervais really became the object of ridicule in Jean dukedom’s aristocratic circles.

A few days ago, Gervais’ medical squad and small steel cannon, as well as the Fiefdom promised by the king, made many nobles and nobles very hot.

Anyone who is jealous is naturally jealous. At this time, Gervais finally made such a show, which is like giving the hilt of his sword for them to stab, so each and every nobleman tried to arrange Gervais.

The two counts, Nemio and Avery, are talking about it openly, that Gervais’ actions were actually inspired by Alice.

Because the Jones family didn’t want to attack the city, they wanted to preserve their strength, and they really went to the king to complain.

However, since there are no trebuchets on the city wall, the siege progress has exceeded expectations. The king did not say much, but sent a herald to let Alice start the siege as soon as possible.

After all, not all the trebuchets in White Rock City were destroyed, they were just taken down, and now Gervais is still a very important person.

…

“Tomorrow! Tomorrow you’ll be slapped in the face!”

Gervais the past few days Cozy, but I keep an eye on the progress of the upstream dam storage every day.

It is autumn now, and there is no rainfall, so the flow of the river is not large, and it will take about three days for the dam above to fill up.

And this morning, Gervais sent people upriver to get the news that the dam will be full tomorrow.

So he is going to start it tomorrow. After all, if he delays, the king is likely to order a general attack. When the time comes, the other counts really come out on top, when the time comes with so much effort. But it really sucked.

In addition to the dam, the city wall in front has been continuously baked for the past three days, and the temperature has become terrifyingly high. If others have a telescope, they can see the 100-meter city covered in flames No defenders dared to approach the wall at all.

Because there is a complete stove there, as long as anyone dares to approach the City Wall section dozens of meters, it is guaranteed that they will be roasted in three to five minutes!

…

It’s night!

The attack on the city wall in the north and east continues, and the Jones family camp in the west has reached the curfew period. Except for the Rose Knight who is on duty, all the minor nobles and soldiers have returned to themselves. Lights out and rest in the camp.

Gervais is now lying on the soft cot and sleeping soundly, and tonight he needs to get enough energy so that he can make a great appearance tomorrow.

“My lord! My lord!”

At this time, Ike’s anxious voice could be heard outside Gervais’ tent.

“What’s the matter, Ike!”

In the dimness, Gervais heard Ike’s call, and instantly woke up, then quickly got up, ready to pierce his armor and hold his sword.

In the middle of the night, if there is no urgent matter, Ike will definitely not come to disturb him.

“Sir, Lord count sent someone to report that there was a large cavalry raid in the north, and now there is a melee!”

Ike immediately reported to Gervais softly.

“What? A large cavalry is coming! Ike, come in and help me put on my full-body armor!”

Gervais was startled, didn’t expect there was an Austrian in the middle of the night The cavalry raid of the Dukedom of Alban, Bart little fatty, didn’t they all say that the Dukedom of Alban used to be only defensive?

Now I dare to take the initiative!

Soon, Gervais donned full body armor with the help of Ike and the others, and found where Alice was.

At this moment, Alice is standing on a specially built high platform. This high platform is for Alice to observe the situation in the camp, so the view from standing here is different from the view outside the camp. what a difference.

When Gervais came to the high platform, there were already many fully armed little nobles wearing full body armor with a long sword and a Knight long spear in their hands.

Everyone, I admit my mistake! There is something during the day today, so the update is so late!

This chapter has 4800+, which is today’s update!
