Gervais was leisurely preparing to go back to sleep, but the place where the eldest prince and others were was fell into a strange silence.

When Gervais's fifty trebuchets were started, the eldest prince and others knew that their proud words just now were like slaps on their faces.

Especially the vassals of the Charles family, who originally thought that this cheap good thing would fall on them, but now it is very likely that they will not get even a cent.

For such a small baronial castle, the trebuchet is simply the most deadly siege weapon.

That's why in this world, trebuchets can become strategic weapons.

When they arrived in Baiyan City, they immediately searched for trebuchets, hoping to seize a few of them.

However, it was finally discovered that most of the intact trebuchets had been taken away by the Jones family, and the remaining trebuchets had been completely scrapped because they had been soaked in water for too long.

But they didn't expect that the Jones family would get so many intact trebuchets, and that Alice would be willing to give them to her vassals.

As the banging sound came, every time the stone bullet hit the baron's castle in the distance, the eldest prince felt as if he had been slapped by Gervais.

"No wonder you want to ask me about the ownership of the loot. It turns out that you have been sure of capturing this castle for a long time!"

The eldest prince clenched his fists so tightly that veins appeared. At this moment, he felt that he was being played by Gervais.

Gervais's deliberate opposition in the meeting tent was just to make fun of him, and the hatred for Gervais in his heart could not help but deepen.

…

Gervais didn't know that the eldest prince hated him so much that he returned to the tent and lay down on the small bed to rest without even taking off his clothes and armor.

But even if Gervais knew the eldest prince's current state of mind, Gervais would not offend him. The eldest prince wanted to deal with Gervais, and Gervais wanted to find an opportunity to trick the eldest prince to death.

When he returned to the camp, he closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was woken up by Ike's shout.

"Sir, a gap has been made in the castle wall by a trebuchet."

"Oh? Did you create a gap? I'll be here right away!"

When Gervais heard this, he immediately sat up from the bed.

A few minutes later, Gervais rode his war horse and came to the baron's castle again. Sure enough, he saw that a small section of the wall in front of the castle had been smashed into a gap.

This gap is not very wide, only two or three meters wide.

Moreover, this section of the city wall did not completely collapse, only the upper part collapsed, and it was still eight or nine meters high.

However, compared to a city wall of more than twenty meters, this eighty-nine-meter city wall is obviously much easier to attack.

In addition to this gap, some of the towers above the castle were also badly damaged, apparently suffering from trebuchets.

As for the gate below the castle, the suspension bridge has also been smashed with several large holes, but the castle gate inside is still intact.

"Gervis, you are finally here! Can we attack now?"

As soon as Gervais stood still, Fatty Pat ran over and asked eagerly, while the other vassals also stretched their necks and looked here.

Obviously, with this gap, everyone can't wait to take over the baron's castle.

Gervais looked at the moat in front. The bottom of the castle had almost been paved. Now the soldiers were transporting soil towards the gap, preparing to fill it up so that the siege ladder could be stably held.

"Gervis, we can't wait any longer. Five or six hours have passed and we don't have much time left!"

Seeing that Gervais did not answer him immediately, Pat thought Gervais wanted to wait for a while before attacking the city.

But there are still two or three hours until dawn. If they don't attack, they may not have enough time.

"Go tell the other nobles that we have two options now. If we start attacking the city immediately, let them put on their armor and we attack the city ourselves. The soldiers have been tired all night. If we let them charge, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

!”

"The other option is to let the soldiers rest for an hour before allowing them to attack!"

What Gervais was thinking about just now was the casualties. The soldiers of the Jones family had not slept all day and night. If they were allowed to go up to attack the city immediately, many of them would be unable to hold their swords steadily. They don't know how much they would have to pay.

human life,.

"Okay, Gervais, wait a minute, I'll go over and talk to them now!"

Little Fatty Pat smiled happily and immediately ran to the place where the little nobles gathered.

Fatty Pat whispered a few words to the little nobles over there, and then ran back immediately.

"Gervis, they all want to start attacking now!"

"Very good, let everyone prepare, we will start the official attack in ten minutes!"

Next, the little nobles began to change their armor one after another. Those who had full body armor all put on full body armor, and those who did not have full body armor also wore two more pieces of leather armor.

Gervais also put on his mithril full-body armor with the help of Ik and others. Although the full-body armor is a bit heavy and inconvenient to climb the siege ladder, the defense is very good. The ordinary arrow feathers on the head are

It won't do much harm to them.

"Everyone, listen up! Our main goal is trophies. If the people in the castle are willing to surrender, don't kill them, but they are worth a lot of silver coins!"

"Did everyone hear clearly?"

Galvi was worried that these people would kill him later and leave no one alive, which would cause huge losses.

The captives who were the trophies he wanted most during this southern expedition were one of them.

"Okay! Viscount Gervais!"

"Viscount Gervais, don't worry, we will remember it!"

Because of the identity of the earl's husband, and because Gervais has shown his strength now, these little nobles began to unconsciously obey Gervais's command.

In addition, everyone also knew about the situation in Gervais's territory and understood Gervais's intention of doing this, so they responded one after another.

"Thank you everyone! Then let's start the attack!"

Gervais nodded with satisfaction, then pulled out his long sword and charged towards the gap in the city wall first.

Fatty Pat was next to Gervais, also wearing a set of full-body armor, but the size of this full-body armor was definitely rare, and it was simply an iron can.

"Gervis, why do you want me to carry this siege ladder alone!"

Fatty Pat carried a nine-meter-long siege ladder on his shoulders. In order to allow the ladder to bear the weight of Gervais and others, the ladder was bundled extremely firmly, and even the wood he stepped on was as thick as an adult's arm.

, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and fat little Pat was already out of breath carrying it.

"Pat, I'm doing this for your own good. The danger of attacking the city later will be quite high, so you don't need to attack the city after you carry the ladder and set it up. You only need to stabilize the siege ladder below."

Gervais answered Pat seriously.

What he said was half true and half false. Of course he was not worried about Pat's safety. After all, the full body armor Pat wore was airtight. Gervais was worried that Pat would break the ladder if he climbed the stairs later.

"All right!"

Fatty Pat had a look of helplessness on his face. He was holding the siege ladder with one hand and holding his helmet with the other hand. For comfort, his helmet was an extra-large size, so it swayed a lot when running.
