My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 391 Searching in the city (two-in-one)

Seeing the moment when the city wall finally collapsed, Gervais was sighed in relief.

After the previous floods hit the city wall, when the city wall did not appear to be any strange, in fact, Gervais was also a little worried, after all, there were so many onlookers here, and he made a bet with the Charles family.

But Gervais took a closer look at the surface of the city wall through the telescope, and immediately calmed down a bit, because through the telescope, he could observe some faint black lines on the surface of the city wall.

These black lines are nothing else, but the cracks formed after being burned for three days and three nights by the fire and immediately exposed to water.

This also shows that this idea of Gervais is correct, and the description in the original novel is not imaginary.

However, because the flood only rose to a height of about seven meters above the city wall at the highest level, there was no mutation on the city wall above eight or nine meters.

Even after waiting for the rocks above to cool down, the defenders didn’t notice anything unusual when they stood on the city wall.

The hundreds of defenders standing above did not know that the city wall under their feet had actually turned into crunchy gravel, and it was not as invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable as it seemed.

Gervais guessed that the reason why the city wall did not collapse immediately was because there was still a small amount of rock inside the city wall that was not damaged and was still barely supporting, but it only needed a little external force. The balance will be broken and the city wall will no longer be maintained.

What happened next also verified Gervais’ conjecture. When the city wall was hit by a stone, the entire City Wall section nearly 100 meters long collapsed.

Gervais turned around and gave Nemio a mocking look at the complexion ashen, but didn’t say anything to him. Winning the bet was the best humiliation for the Charles family and for Nemio. .

Gervais turned his attention to King Lawrence. He had also discerned the king’s gaze just now, but because he was thinking about the plan at that time, there was no unnecessary reaction.

“King Your Majesty, now that the city wall of White Rock City has collapsed, is the bet between the Jones family and the Charles family counted as a win for the Jones family!”

Gervais spoke slightly respectfully asked.

“Haha! Of course it’s gone! Your Jones family did a great job! The first attack on White Rock City is your Jones family!”

The king laughed heartily, Although he didn’t know why the hard rock city wall collapsed by burning it with fire and then flooding it with water, the gap of nearly 100 meters indicated that the fall of Baiyan City was doomed.

This not only reduces the casualties of Jean dukedom’s siege, but also 100% guarantees that this year’s southern expedition plan can proceed smoothly to the next step.

“Thanks for Your Majesty reward!”

Having been confirmed by the king himself, Gervais glanced at Nemio beside him.

Sure enough, Nemio’s face was even more ugly at the moment, but he couldn’t attack.

In fact, except for Nemio, the other counts also looked miserable at the moment, after all, the first credit this time completely left them.

You must know that they worked hard to siege the city for days and nights, paying the price of hundreds of people.

But now?

The Jones family just set off a fire and waited leisurely. It can be said that they won the first feat of Baiyan City without a single soldier.

Seeing the count’s expressions, Gervais was very happy, but he didn’t forget the purpose of his conversation with the king, so he asked King Lawrence again.

“Then Your Majesty, the spoíls of war in Baiyan City at this time, the Jones family can no longer turn it over!”

“Yes, the rewards I give you are from It will be effective from now on! As long as your Jones family gets any spoíls of war in Baiyan City, there is no need to register and turn it over, and after the end of the Southern Expedition, you can also get the reward of Viscount Fiefdom!”

Lawrence is in a very good mood now, And he could also see that the great credit for the collapse of the city wall was probably Gervais’ means, so he didn’t dislike that Gervais was a little viscount who was not qualified to talk to him, but answered any questions.

“Thanks Your Majesty!”

Acknowledging the King’s affirmation, Gervais thanked him again.

Then quickly turned around and said to Alice: “Alice, I’m going to Baiyan City to grab spoíls of war now! Haha!”

In a group of small nobles With jealous eyes, Gervais quickly moved towards White Rock City, where Laurie Squad was waiting for Gervais on two rafts by the river.

“After Gervais left, King Lawrence smiled and said to everyone: “Now, everyone is ready to fight! I see that the old fox of Lost is ready to run away! “

With the king’s eyesight, of course, the guards on the city wall of White Rock City have begun to evacuate, so they are not prepared to delay.

Now that White Rock City is a foregone conclusion, the king wants Continue to expand the results, hoping to leave more elites of Alban dukedom, so that the pressure on Jean dukedom can be relieved in the next battle.

 …

The king brought A group of small nobles detoured to the north and east camps to prepare to gather troops and horses to deal with the retreating defenders in the city.

But Gervais happily entered the city.

At this moment, there are no defenders on the city wall of Baiyan City, and Gervais and the others came to Baiyan City unimpeded.

There are no ordinary commoners living in Baiyan City, so it looks more like a large Barracks.

There are not many houses inside, most of them are open spaces for training.

It’s just that the flood water has poured into Baiyan City, and the water in the city has a certain amount of water. Two meters deep, submerging most of the house except for the roof.

“Lord, Lord Gandalf, they are over there! ”

Gervais sat leisurely on the raft and observed all around. At this time, Laurie, who was standing in the front row, pointed to several rooftops not far away to report.

Gervais Looking in the direction Laurie pointed, he saw his cheap dad and a few other minor nobles.

“Good-for-nothing! “

Gervais muttered when he saw what Gandalf and the others were doing there.

Because dozens of Gandalf and the others were actually catching three drowning horses. War horses.

Several war horses were flapping in the water at the moment, while the rafts of Gandalf and the others were parked aside, and several soldiers had taken off their armor and jumped into the water, using The horses were roped around their bodies, ready to get them on the raft.

Gervais remembers that there were more than 3,000 people in the Thunder Knight regiment, and that was more than 3,000 war horses, and they were pounding these three here. War horses are not good-for-nothing.

“Little Gervais, why are you here, you are waiting at the camp, we can do all these things! “

“That’s it!” Viscount Gervais, the flood has not receded here, you are waiting at the camp, we and your father can absolutely evacuate White Rock City! “

Gandalf and the others noticed Gervais’ arrival as Gervais’ raft approached.

“Come on, three steeds have kept you here for so long.” ! If three thousand war horses appear, you will not have to move to tomorrow, when the time comes the water level recedes and the daylilies are cold! “

Gervais heard the words of his cheap father and a few minor nobles, and couldn’t help but corner of the mouth twitched, and really didn’t believe their efficiency.

But this is natural. I can’t really say it, otherwise I might be knocked to death by the cheap old man.

He can only say: “father, the king has already said that this attack on Baiyan City is the first credit. We, and the spoíls of war in Baiyan City, as long as we get it, we don’t have to turn it over. “

“So you have to move faster, but there are thousands of war horses waiting for us in the city!” If we wait for other families to arrive, our loss will be huge! “

“Really? Gervais? “

Gandalf and several other minor nobles heard Gervais’ words, and their eyes flashed with longing.

“Of course it’s true, otherwise how could I personally Come, I’m just here to inform you and make you move faster! ”

Originally, there were no spoíls of war in this white rock city. After all, as a military fortress, how many gold and silver treasures are impossible.

The only thing that is valuable is the small and small ones on the city wall. Catapults, as well as food and weapons.

But now the horses of the entire Thunder Knight regiment are stranded in White Rock City, and even if it is possible to take some, it will definitely not be much.

This is an amazing wealth, even the count family and even the king will be tempted.

Such wealth Gervais is not ready to share with other families, wants to swallow it, after all This White Rock City was broken by him!

The reason why Gervais was so quick to find the king to determine the spoíls of war was for this reason.

Now the White Rock City is flooded, other The count family has not prepared a raft, and it is impossible for the Jones family to compete with the Jones family for a while, so it is a good time for the Jones family to swallow the wealth.

“Quick! Ride the boat to town! Let’s find other warhorses! “

“You guys will lead the war horses to those roofs by yourselves later!” We’ll pick you up later! ”

In an instant, neither Gandalf nor the other minor nobles couldn’t wait, and even the four subordinates who were still in the water didn’t care, and directly ordered people to start rowing moved towards the city and swiftly departed

“Little Gervais, father is going to town first! ”

As the voice fell, the raft of Gandalf and the others had already driven more than ten meters away, leaving only the four soldiers still thumping in the water wanting to cry without tears.

However, there is a roof of a small bungalow four or five meters away, so these people will not be in danger, so they efficiently swam to the roof and pulled the three horses up by the way.

…

“Father, be careful, the defenders of Baiyan City may not have retreated! “

There are at least seven or eight thousand defenders in Baiyan City, and they must not have finished in such a short time. If they are close to the city wall to the south, conflict is likely to break out.

You must know that there are two golden Knights over there, which is not something the Jones family can deal with now.

“Understood, little Gervais, don’t worry! “

Watching Gandalf and the others go away, Gervais was helplessly laughed, and could only instruct Laurie and the others to row along the city wall.

The matter of war horses is now Gandalf and the others will definitely concentrate on completing it, so apart from the warhorses, Gervais is most concerned about those small trebuchets.

Because of the existence of small steel cannons, the small trebuchets on the city wall are all guarded. It was dismantled, so Gervais wanted to find the trebuchets in good condition to take back.

Although trebuchets are not very convenient to carry, trebuchets are also a strategic long-range weapon in this day and age, Gervais Naturally, I will not let it go, and I am not willing to be acquired by other families.

Gervais is now moving towards the North Gate.

Because Gervais used a telescope to observe when he entered the city, The houses on the west side of the city wall are all low-rise houses, which have long been flooded. It is impossible to find trebuchets, but there are still several large stone houses on the north side of the city wall that have not been completely submerged.

About ten minutes later, the raft quickly approached the stone houses under the paddling of Laurie and the others.

But after approaching the stone houses, Only then did Gervais and the others discover that there were still several defenders in the stone house who hadn’t evacuated.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

“Surrender! Surrender without killing! ”

Gervais guessed that these soldiers were probably trapped here because they couldn’t swim. Now the entire Baiyan City is one or two meters deep. If they can’t swim, they can only work here. Sit and worry.

Of course, Gervais is not going to kill them either, these soldiers are the best captives, whether they are sold to slave dealers or brought back to the territory as coolies.

“We surrender! We surrender! ”

Several Alban dukedom soldiers wanted to resist and seized the raft to escape, but when they heard the sound of the peng peng’s musket blasting, and the white gunpowder coming out of the barrel. Yan, instantly remembered the strange and unpredictable weapon outside the city two days ago, everyone’s courage disappeared instantly, and they threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Gervais also didn’t expect to let it go so smoothly The elite soldiers surrendered, so Laurie leaned over the raft and directly climbed the stairs of the stone house.

This stone house is very large, and the lower floor has been submerged at the moment, but the Second Layer was unharmed.

“Tie them up first! ”

Outside the stone house aisle, there are a total of seven Alban Dukedom soldiers, four of whom are wearing chain mail and leather armor. This should be the regular defender of White Rock City, which is the sea. Deng’s direct guard.

The other three were wearing only a worn leather armor. Gervais estimated that these three were auxiliary troops in the city.

See a few people honestly Kneeling on the ground and not daring to move, Gervais directly asked Laurie and the others to tie them up first.

“Do you guys know where the trebuchets in White Rock City were put? “

While Laurie and the others tied people, Gervais asked, wanting to get to the location of the trebuchet as soon as possible. It was probably the wisest to ask these defenders, so Gervais was not in a hurry. Search the house.

“Yes, sir, the trebuchets are placed in this stone house, both downstairs and upstairs! “

Several defenders who were being bound have also accepted their fate, and they did not have the spirit of rather die than submit, and immediately answered Gervais’s question neatly.

“Well, Great performance! “

Getting the answer, Gervais is not surprised, but I heard that there are trebuchets stored downstairs, but I feel a little regret.

Now the downstairs has been completely flooded, the trebuchets are also stored downstairs. Most of the structures are made of wood, and if they are soaked in water for a long time, they are basically useless.

Fortunately, there are still some upstairs, and they are not left empty-handed, so Gervais does not After stopping again, I walked directly into the stone house.

This stone house has five rooms on the second floor. When Gervais opened the first room, he saw that it was full of dismantled small trebuchet parts. , with a rough estimate, there are nearly 20.

Then Gervais continued to open the remaining rooms, which were filled with parts of the trebuchet.

Gervais According to statistics, the number of trebuchets placed in the five rooms should add up to 80 or 90.

“Not bad, it’s not in vain! ”

Gervais felt fortunate in his heart, there are not many high-rise buildings in the whole Baiyan City, only three nearby.

After counting the trebuchets, Gervais came to the stone house again. Outside, he asked several prisoners, “Where is your commander’s usual place to live? “

“Sir, Lord Marquis lives in the center of the city, but it’s also a single-story stone house that has been flooded!” ”

Lost does not live in White Rock City most of the time, and White Rock City was born for war, so although Lost’s residence is spacious and beautiful, it is actually just a single-story stone house built of marble. , has also been soaked in water at this moment.

The two large stone houses here are two-storey buildings because they are used as warehouses for storing important materials to prevent some materials from getting wet.

Gervais is slightly disappointed, knowing that his plans to hit Lost’s residence have failed.

But when he saw the two stone houses not far away, he forgot about them and stopped thinking about them.

“First go to another stone house to see if there are any valuable spoíls of war.”

Next, Gervais took a raft to the other tens of meters away. In front of the stone house.

There were no stranded defenders in this stone house. When Gervais walked into the stone house, he saw a lot of weapons, armors and shields.

“Not bad! They are all brand new weapons and equipment, although the style is slightly different from Jean dukedom’s, but it doesn’t matter, I’m not going to use them for the time being anyway!”

The rest After searching the two stone houses, Gervais found that the two stone houses are equipped with weapons and equipment, this can be considered a good spoíls of war.

At this point, the main purpose of Gervais entering the city has been completed, and now there are still possible spoíls of war in the city, only food.

But obviously, the food must have been soaked in water, and even if it was found, it would not be edible, and Gervais simply didn’t bother.

“Alban Dukedom is indeed worthy of the name of the continental granary. In their eyes, food is not as important as weapons and equipment!”

For the defenders of White Rock City, weapons, armor and other materials It was deliberately placed on the second floor of the stone house, but a double-storey stone house was not built for the storage of grain. Gervais understood.

Because the Alban dukedom is located in the plain and is rich in grain, grain is not a scarce material for them, but the Alban dukedom lacks various metal minerals, so in their opinion, weapons But it is much more important than food.

…

Next, Gervais did not go to other places, but directly instructed Laurie and the others to start transporting the supplies, and asked them to go back and call more people, himself. It is to continue to stay in this town.

Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just in case, the material transfer in this stone house will definitely take some time. In case, other count family members also enter the city during the transfer, and they are not shocked. Not really safe.

Because of the limited cargo capacity of the raft, it took more than three hours to transport the three stone houses. This is because the camp is still making simple rafts to transport cargo.

And Gervais’ decision to stay in the stone house was also correct. Just over ten minutes ago, the other count families finally entered the city by raft.

Although there were not many of them, these sharp-eyed people saw the three houses that had not been completely submerged by water, so they all rushed over, despite the guards’ obstruction, they still wanted to climb up. Go to the stone house.

But when Gervais walked outside the stone house and reported his name, these little nobles walked away in an instant, not daring to say anything cruel.

Gervais’ name is now very loud in the Nanzheng team.

Gervais’ medics, as well as Gervais’ small steel cannons, are basically known to minor nobles.

So now these people are less willing to offend Gervais.

As for the fact that the city was broken by Gervais, this matter has not yet spread, because many people only know that the Jones family broke the city, but they do not know who came up with the scheme.

Only the vassals of the Jones family know that burning the city wall and building dams is Gervais’ attention, but I believe that this matter will be spread tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the name of Gervais will be even louder .

After carrying the supplies for the three stone houses, Gervais stopped staying and returned to the camp on the raft. He didn’t care much about the supplies that had been soaked in water. It’s just fine to search with other vassals.

I’m a little tired today, there are only two chapters left! MVM!
