My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 410 Choose Wisely!

Then Ike and Laurie conveyed Gervais’ order, and Gervais’ siege operation officially started.

Due to the number of people, Gervais didn’t plan to fill in the wide aisle this time. It only needed one or two meters wide, so that two or three people could walk side by side.

Otherwise, with fifty slaves alone, it is impossible to fill in the opposite side of the moat even if you fill in until tomorrow.

Bang! boom! boom!

With the launch of the trebuchet, the castle in front was constantly attacked by stone bullets, and this time, because it was daytime, the landing point of the stone bullets was more accurate, and the scene was more thrilling.

After just two rounds of missiles, Gervais saw a tower in Bernburg collapse directly not far away, and along with the three or four guards above, they were buried by rocks.

In Gervais, the trebuchet, which can be called a strategic weapon, keeps throwing its head, and the siege operation is proceeding neither too fast nor too slow. During this period, Gervais has been sitting on the soft chair and watching the progress of the siege. .

There is no need for Gervais to command anything, Ike and the others all carry out their own duties, here they attack the city, and there are twenty longbowmen on the periphery.

Gervais’ small steel cannon has also been placed in the pond. It is loaded with shotguns. If someone behind him wants to sneak attack his team, he will definitely not be able to eat it.

Boom peng~ peng~!

Boom!

Finally, as the sun went down, a loud noise came from the far-off Bernburg. Gervais followed the sound and saw that a section of the city wall in front of Bernburg was collapsing, causing a The sky is full of smoke and dust.

“Ike, get my full body armor! Tell the long swordsman and longbowman! Prepare to attack the city!”

After waiting for hours, this moment finally came , although expected, but Gervais always found it troublesome.

“Yes, my lord!”

Soon, Gervais put on his full body armor with the help of Ike and the others.

And the slave long spear soldiers under the city wall also filled the soil under the collapsed city wall.

The city wall that collapsed this time in Bernburg was much more serious than Kalundborg. There was a gap more than four meters wide, and the remaining height of the city wall was less than five meters.

Gervais estimates this is due to the effect of the catapults being able to focus their attacks on one spot during the day.

“Everyone, follow me! Surrender without killing, those who dare to resist kill without mercy!”

This time, they are all under Gervais’ own subordinates, and they are all ordinary soldiers , so Gervais didn’t want casualties, and he wasn’t prepared to hold back against those who resisted.

Soon, Gervais brought the fifty-sixty people to the bottom of the city wall of Bernburg to prepare to climb the city.

And the defenders above the city wall were still resisting, constantly moving towards them and shooting down arrows.

Bang! boom! boom!

Laurie’s squad of 14, armed with muskets, began to cover the siege of Gervais and the others, moving towards the shooting of the defenders who were showing their bows and arrows.

As sporadic gunshots rang out, one or two screams could be heard from time to time on the city wall, and some guards were shot by muskets and fell directly from the top of the castle.

On Gervais’ side, after the siege ladder was set up, Gervais moved towards the city wall and climbed up first.

It’s not that Gervais takes the lead every time, he is also quite helpless, Gervais doesn’t have a title of Knight, and the Phoenix in the castle is wearing full armor, obviously a Bronze Knight, if you let him These subordinates rushed forward first, and they would definitely pay a lot of casualties.

“Put down your weapons, surrender and don’t kill! Those who dare to resist kill without mercy!”

Gervais jumped into the vestibule first, moved towards the guards who came not far away and rushed away .

There is no suspense about the next thing, just two minutes of effort, Gervais won the Bernburg.

Through this siege, Gervais discovered a problem. Even though they knew that they were stronger than them, these noble sons still took the lead to stop themselves and the others.

Gervais doesn’t know if they are fierce and unafraid of death, or if they know they can buy their lives with ransom, in short, doing so is in line with Gervais’s intentions, directly holding these noble children as hostages, those guards will obediently stop , because they cannot afford such responsibilities.

When Ike and the others completely control all the defenders, it also means that Gervais has several hundred gold coins in his account.

“What? Eight hundred gold coins? Viscount Gervais, why don’t you grab it!”

“I’m grabbing it now!”

Jean Ke and the others circled around the castle, the situation in Bernburg was exactly the same as in Kalundborg, where everything of value had been sent to Mai Leaf City.

So Gervais didn’t bother to beat around the bush, and directly put forward the same price as Babette.

Phoenix felt that Gervais was lion’s big mouth, but Gervais’s answer made Fennis blushed instantly, but he had nothing to say.

Babette, who was still bound, was also wearing a smile of taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune.

The castle steward in Bernburg is obviously not as good as the one in Kalundborg, Gabi.

Gabby is still calm to see Gervais and the others, but this Bernburg steward is a little cowering.

But this is normal. After all, not everyone is afraid of death. In this case, it is not shameful to be paralyzed.

After reporting the amount of gold coin, Gervais directly explained how the castle steward traded.

And like Gabi, let them say to those in the castle along the way: Just hand over the hostages and the castle will be kept intact.

When Steward, the castle of Bernburg, rushed to Mai Leaf City with two servants to report the news, the sky was completely dark, and Gervais simply rested in the castle for the night.

Second day Early in the morning, Gervais continued his journey.

This servant of Bernburg was still locked in the dungeon by Gervais, and he also planted a rose flag above the castle, and left 10 serfs as temporary defenders, waiting here for the follow-up ‘s large army.

After another half-day, Gervais came to the last castle on his route, still a Baron fort.

When Gervais brought Babette and Phoenix two happy friends to the bottom of this called Fort Aubrey, something unexpected happened to him.

“Are you the Viscount Gervais of the Jones family?”

“Yes, you know me?”

There is a man on the city wall at this moment. The young man, he didn’t wear armor, instead he just wore a gorgeous silk gown.

“I heard from the Steward of Kalundborg and Steward of Bernburg, from whom I learned about your name.”

On the Castle The young man’s tone replied slightly respectfully.

“Viscount Gervais, as long as I am willing to go out of town as your hostage, will you really give up attacking Fort Aubrey?”

“Of course, you should also listen to the ransom. Did you say it? You need 800 gold coins, you should know the two next to me, and they also need 800 gold coins to redeem.”

See the young man on the city wall On the road, Gervais is of course happy. He won’t benefit from capturing the castle. Why not take the hostage and go to Mai Leaf City elated to exchange gold coins.

“Okay, Viscount Gervais, I hope you can do what you say!”

The young man on the city wall no longer hesitated, and began to order people to prepare to drop the hanging basket from the castle. .

“Do you two know this person? Don’t lie to me, or when the time comes, the loss here will be counted on your head!”

Seeing that the young man is so cooperative , Gervais was very satisfied, but still asked Babette and Phoenix to confirm, so as not to be deceived by the people in the castle with fake heirs when the time comes.

Hearing Gervais’ question, Babette and Phoenix rolled their eyes, they had never seen such a person without Knight spirit as Gervais.

“I know, his name is Ulrich, he’s the eldest son of Aubrey Baron!”

Gervais ignored the aggrieved expressions of the two and confirmed the identity of the young man After that, Gervais was watching the man’s actions.

The hanging basket on the castle was slowly lowered, but this time it was not Uric who came down, but a manservant. After the manservant reached the bottom of the city wall, Uric rode on the hanging basket. The basket came under the city wall.

At this time, there was a small canoe under the city wall, and they didn’t know if it was Uric who had prepared it in advance. The two of them rode the canoe slowly to the other side of the moat.

“Hello, Viscount Gervais!”

“Hello, Uric! You made a wise choice!”

Gervais laughed heartily , but this Quauric’s words are not wrong, after all, in the face of Gervais’ fifty trebuchets, such a Baron castle is impossible to hold.

When the time comes the city wall of the castle collapses, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to repair it in the future.

Next, Gervais took a banner of the Jones family and asked the valet to bring it back to the castle to plant it, lest the Jones family come and continue to attack the city without knowing the situation.

In addition, Gervais also asked the steward in the castle to go to Mai Leaf City to report and ask Aubrey Baron to prepare the ransom.

At this point, the Jones family’s castle has been settled by Gervais. The ransom alone can harvest 2400 gold coins. When the army returns, it is estimated that many serfs will be caught.

“This kind of business is so easy to do, do I want to make a fortune on the route of the other count families?”

Gervais suddenly had this idea.

Other families have many people, and many of them rely on their feet to march, which is not as fast as the ‘carriage infantry’ of Gervais.

So Gervais guessed that they were probably still solving the first castle, and he thought he could take this opportunity to quickly go their way to harvest.

Anyway, when the time comes, you just need to persuade yourself to surrender. If you really don’t surrender, you can just leave at worst, but as long as one castle surrenders, you can make a net profit of 800 gold coins.

From Uric’s mouth, Gervais knew why he had chosen to surrender so readily.

It turned out that when Gabi spoke about the situation in Kalundborg, Ulric didn’t care, and even thought that Gabi was too timid, and helped the enemy to convey this obviously with a persuasion to surrender. words.

But when the Steward of Bernburg said the same thing, Ulric had to take it seriously.

So I quickly sent people to check on the two castles, but I was startled when I saw them. The two castles were directly destroyed by the small City Wall section, and they were all breached.

After getting such news, Uric could still get away with it.

The same ending, why not save the lives of the castle and its subordinates.

So he made a wise choice, and the scene just now happened.

I’m not at home at noon, this chapter will be sent out sooner!
