My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 400 The pit dug by First Prince (two-in-one)

After receiving the news that the Rangers brought back, First Prince did not let the team that had been on the road all morning take a rest , but ordered the march to continue, trying to get under that Baron castle before dark.

Although ordinary soldiers complained about the order of First Prince, but in general, the identity of First Prince is there, and the little nobles silently accepted this order. After all, these little noble clansman are riding Warhorses, even those with a carry like Bart, are no longer rare.

Under the urging of their respective lords, the ordinary soldiers who have been exhausted from stomach rumbling with hunger can only move on.

The tens of thousands of people continued to march for four hours before finally seeing the Baron Castle standing in the distance.

Until this moment, those ordinary soldiers slumped on the ground and had a temporary rest.

 …

Alban dukedom is located in the plains, even with few hills, so the castle in the distance is not built on the hill like Jean dukedom, but is A castle was built on the highest point of the terrain by the river.

Such a castle does not rely on the height of the terrain to block the enemy. Instead, like the White Rock City, it relies on the moat all around the castle to protect the city wall. The only passable entrance on this moat is The drawbridge facing the castle gate.

At this time, the suspension bridge of the castle has been lifted high and attached to the wall of the castle, directly covering the entire gate of the castle.

If Gervais and the others want to attack this Baron castle, there is only one option, and that is to fill in the moat, otherwise there is no place for a ladder on the opposite side.

Because the distance between the castle and the moat is very short, only three or four meters away, the open space of three or four meters is still a slope, and the siege ladder cannot be fixed at all.

 …

In the tent, the First Prince and a middle-aged man sat on the main seat, while dozens of small nobles sat around below.

These minor nobles come from the eight count families, and they are all representatives elected by all the minor vassals of the Eight Great Families.

At this time, Gervais, Bertram, and Bart were in the tent, and their three people represented the vassals of the Jones family to attend the meeting.

“Everyone saw Baron Castle in the distance! This time I called you here to discuss with you about the attack on the castle.”

First Prince was wearing a work The elegant leather armor, with a red cloak hanging on the back, coupled with a good appearance, made a young nobleman with great power in his hands vividly and thoroughly.

First Prince didn’t bother Gervais today, not even making too much eye contact with Gervais.

When the representatives of the Eight Great Families have all arrived, the First Prince will begin his speech for today’s meeting.

“According to the strategy formulated by King Your Majesty, we need to split up several times in the next period of time, and attack the castles of those small nobles on the lead of Jinmai count.”

“However, I think that we have just reached the Jinmai County, so it is necessary to capture a castle first, in order to boost morale and defeat the enemy’s confidence!”

“So I am going to wait for the capture. After this Baron Castle, everyone will divide their troops, do you have any opinions on this?”

After the First Prince finished speaking slowly, his eyes glanced at the representative of the minor nobles below.

“Your Highness, we have no opinion!”

“We have no opinion either!”

Soon, several representatives of the minor nobles voiced their approval. .

Although First Prince’s claim that it boosts morale and undermines the confidence of the enemy is far-fetched.

But there is no problem. Anyway, these vassals came to Alban dukedom to conquer the city and plunder the land. Now it doesn’t matter whether everyone is fighting together or alone.

“Very well, it seems that everyone has the same idea as me!”

First Prince quite enjoys the feeling of being in control, facing the little aristocrats who express their opinions After the nominee responded, he continued.

“But the castle in front is just a Baron fort after all. We have more than 30,000 people. If everyone attacked the castle at the same time, it would definitely be unrealistic.”

“So I I’m going to use the wheel battle to attack the city according to the method of attacking Baiyan City! Do you have any opinions?”

First Prince’s face was full of warm smiles, and he looked towards everyone again, asking for opinions.

Several minor nobles below continued to express their second opinion, and no one objected.

Only Gervais looked towards First Prince below, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although First Prince has not released any hostility towards him so far, Gervais does not feel that First Prince has forgotten his grievances with him.

Gervais thinks that the reason why First Prince is so calm is that he has dug a hole waiting for him!

“Very good! It seems that everyone has no objection to my decision, then let’s discuss the order of siege!”

First Prince continued with a smile nodded.

“I have a suggestion here about the order of siege. I think we can rank the siege according to the merits of the battle in Baiyan City.”

“Because this is the first In the first battle, we must win beautifully, so as to effectively defeat the confidence of the enemy, and the outstanding military exploits in Baiyan City also represent the strength of that family, so the first in the list is the need for such a family.”

“What do you think of my proposal?”

The voice of the First Prince fell, and of course there was another second opinion among the minor nobles.

And Gervais also knew at this moment that the First Prince, who looked like a handsome Young Master, immediately started to deal with himself when he arrived at the battlefield.

However, First Prince’s words were all sounding, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But there’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s clearly the Jones family.

So, Gervais shouted loudly moved towards First Prince Derek in the second voice of the minor nobles.

“I object!”

In an instant, the entire conference hall fell silent, and everyone looked towards Gervais.

“Viscount Gervais, I don’t know why you object?”

First Prince was not surprised by Gervais’s objection, nor was he in a hurry, and continued to ask Gervais calmly

“His Highness the Prince, I don’t know when you are going to attack the city, and how long is the siege time for each family?”

“hehe, Viscount Gervais, since this is our first Fighting, of course, needs to do it quickly, so I decided to start the siege immediately after this meeting, and each family is responsible for sieging the city for half a day!”

First Prince heard Gervais’ loud question, The expression on his face didn’t change, he was still very warm, and he answered Gervais’ questions in detail.

“His Highness the Prince! That means if we, the Jones family, are the first to attack the city, we need to attack all night?”

Gervais’ eyes flashed With a hint of cold glow, the voice became cold and asked.

“Yes, Viscount Gervais!”

“His Highness the Prince, we have only set up camp today from the morning march, and the soldiers have not received any rest, not even the I didn’t eat lunch and dinner, is there something wrong with your offensive arrangement?”

Gervais now knows that First Prince Derek will not let the soldiers rest at noon, and what is his plan to continue to travel, that is Digging a hole, waiting for the Jones family.

“Haha! Viscount Gervais, you won’t be afraid right? ? A trifling Baron castle, your Jones family is afraid of this, no wonder you were last in line when arranging the camp!”

“Hahahaha!”

The First Prince didn’t say anything, but the noble representatives of the Charles family jumped out to mock Gervais first.

And those who just echoed First Prince’s words were the ones who were the loudest and most active.

“Viscount Gervais, although it has been a day’s march, each of your families has thousands of troops, and the attack on Baron Castle requires only a few hundred soldiers each time, and you have all the time. Let the other soldiers rest, so I don’t think my decision is wrong.”

“Since the Great His Highness the Prince said that there is nothing wrong with it, let the Charles family be the first to siege the city. The viscount with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks seems to say that the Charles family is very brave!”

“And you just said, Your Highness, that the Jones family has made the greatest contribution in Baiyan City, so can the Jones family get more What about preferential treatment?”

Gervais spoke sharply, not in the slightest afraid of losing the First Prince’s face.

“You…”

The noble representative of the Charles family just made a mockery of the Jones family’s face, and was about to stand up and scolded Gervais, but was given by the First Prince. Prevent.

I saw First Prince waved to him, then looked towards everyone.

“It seems that Viscount Gervais is not very willing to be the first family to siege the city, but everyone must be so!”

The First Prince still smiled.

“However, since the enemy’s castle is in front of us, tens of thousands of us have to push back against a Baron castle. When the time comes, the people of Alban’s Dukedom will look down on it, and the king Your Majesty is bound to be to blame.”

“So, let’s vote! There are two sorts of siege order.”

“First is what I just proposed. , according to the merits of Baiyan City, the highest ranking is first!”

“Second is determined according to the location of the Glory City camp!”

“Next, everyone. Get ready, let’s start voting!”

“Raise your hand if you support the first decision method!”

shua!shua!shua!

Be the First Prince’s words fell, and in the entire tent, almost all the noble representatives raised their hands.

The Charles family, the La Jin family, the Kewan family…

When the First Prince said he was going to vote, Gervais knew what to expect.

But what surprised Gervais at this moment was that two families didn’t raise their hands to vote.

Needless to say, one of the families is the Welton family. Although the representative sent by the Welton family today includes the woman Caroline, the Welton family has a marriage relationship with the Jones family. , naturally will not vote for this.

In addition to the Wynton family who did not raise their hands to vote, there is another family that is the Alvor family.

And the Elvor family made this decision entirely because of one person.

This person was Alice’s birthday, who made a bet with Gervais in the Colosseum with a small purple Spirit, and finally lost two small purple Spirits, and had to beg Gervais to use gold coin to replace the small Spirit’s Bao. Reese.

Boris was sitting opposite Gervais at this time, and when he saw Gervais’ gaze, he couldn’t help moving towards Gervais.

Gervais also responded with a smile to the kindness of Boris’s release, and he didn’t expect Boris not to worry about offending the First Prince, but it’s not surprising that Boris owed him that at the beginning. Favor, apart from this, Boris still owes himself a promise.

“Very good, there are a total of five families who support the first proposal, then please raise your hand for the families who support the second proposal!”

In fact, from the vote of the first method rate can be seen in the wishes of these families.

However, in order to maintain his own personality, the Jones family has no possibility of shirk, First Prince still looks like a businessman, and the hypocritical begins to vote for the second method.

When First Prince’s words fell this time, the field was extremely quiet. No clan raised their hands, the Winton family did not raise their hands, and the Elvor family did not raise their hands.

Of course, this does not mean that the two families have changed their minds again, but because they know that even if they and the others raise their hands, it is useless.

So for the sake of the family, don’t raise your hand at all.

“Viscount Gervais, the results of the Eight Great Families vote are out!”

The First Prince looked towards Gervais with a smile on his face.

“Since that’s the case, then I don’t have any opinion!”

Gervais was shrugged indifferently, and did not have the flustered and exasperated appearance that everyone expected.

In fact, Gervais had already guessed the result. Since First Prince is ready to plot against the Jones family, he naturally has a lot of confidence.

“His Highness the Prince, I have no opinion on the order of the siege! But I have a request, if the castle is broken during the time period of our Jones family’s attack, the battle strength in the castle will be awarded.

It’s completely owned by our Jones family, and other families must not interfere!”

“Of course, no matter which family broke the castle, the spoíls of war’s full power will belong to this family!”

p>

First Prince has no opinion, the castle is not a city, and its area is not as big as a town, so as long as it is a siege method of this kind of wheel battle, the full force of the spoíls of war will go to the family that broke the castle.

Although they all need to be turned over in the end, there are a lot of valuable things in the castle, even if they swallow a few gems, one or two books will not be said.

Of course, the Jones family now has the reward promised by the king, so naturally they don’t have to turn in the spoíls of war.

However, no one present believed that the Jones family would be able to break through the castle tonight.

The soldiers of the Jones family were exhausted at this time, and there was a moat of dozens of meters outside the castle waiting for them to fill, so the Jones family could be said to be the coolies selected by the First Prince.

Specialized in filling the river and draining the enemy’s spirit.

As for the Jones family having a second chance to attack the castle?

The answer is, of course, no.

Eight count families, with more than 20,000 people, a small Baron Castle, if they can stand it in one round, then their team is a joke.

“Viscount Gervais! I wonder if you still have any questions? If not, this is the end of our meeting, and the Jones family will launch an attack on the castle within half an hour.”

“No comments! Big His Highness the Prince, then I’ll go back and arrange the attack first!”

Gervais waved his hand, stood up without salute, and said to the First Prince In a word, he turned around and walked out.

“Okay! Guys, today’s meeting is over, you can go back to rest! I hope I can take this Baron Fort within two days!”

Looking at the back of Gervais, First Prince did not have a seizure for the time being. Although his fingers were a little pale, he still had a smile on his face.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The other noble representatives all stood up, bowed respectfully to the First Prince, and then exited the tent!

Bang!

After all the little nobles had left, there was a loud slap on the wooden table from the tent.

“Gervais! I want you to die!”
