Rodernier, who was worried about the situation of the battle, immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter after receiving help from the Imperial Guards who were following behind.

Yes, with the help of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, the threat that the defenders of the fourth layer can pose to themselves may be much smaller.

Rodernier, who has seen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, has a lot of confidence in this.

And the defenders of the fourth layer, because of the addition of Saburo Toyoya with reinforcements, suddenly raised their morale a lot.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! ”

On the side of the defenders of the fourth layer, there was a loud cheer.

At the same time, it also brought some confidence to the defenders of the third layer who were still resisting, and made them burst out with a stronger will to fight.

The Portuguese soldiers, who had already captured the cloister in the passage of the watchtower, were suddenly routed by the defenders who broke out, and returned to the position of the staircase.

Fortunately, the Portuguese were swordsmen in iron armor in the forward ranks, so there were not many casualties.

As a result, more than a dozen of the Portuguese mercenaries were stabbed by the spears of the defenders and seriously wounded.

The injury of more than a dozen people is not a small casualty for a mercenary group of only 800 people in total.

So, when Roderni got this report, his heart trembled.

"Order, give me to continue the attack on the city, we must seize the third layer of the wall in the shortest possible time, and kill all the enemies for me. As for the above threats, you don't have to worry too much, the army of the Song Empire has already followed behind, and they promised me to solve the troubles above for us, as well as the pass gates that block our advance. ”

Because of the promise of the commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, Roderni was not so flustered here.

Although he felt sorry for the damage of his men, who let them be mercenaries who paid for their lives after all.

So, when he got a report from his men, he didn't say that he wanted the attack to stop. Instead, the order to attack was continued. Let your men be sure to capture the head of the third layer of defense.

Rodelni also knew very well that there must be a brave man under the reward, so after giving this order, he immediately made a reward condition.

"Pass my order, select a member of the death squad, and let them give me a blast on the enemy forces in the harbor passage. As long as they can successfully break through the enemy's defenses, I will reward each of them with ten gold coins!! ”

Roderni was also ruthless.

In fact, whether he has ten gold coins in his pocket now, he counts each of them.

However, for these subordinates of their own. If you want to make their offense more passionate and combative, then you must set such a condition.

Yes, it was useless for these Portuguese mercenaries to shout any slogans. The most realistic thing is to use gold coins as a reward, and these animals will definitely burst out with more strength than anything else.

After the price was offered, the mercenaries around him really burst into cheers.

Soon, a guy wearing a European-style iron armor wrapped himself tightly walked out.

Then, they lead a group of people. Began to storm the watchtower again, leading to the defenders of Shiliang Castle at the head of the city.

It was a tin bucket that led the way, with heavy weapons such as bracelet hammers, short-handled battle axes, and nail-headed cones. At the same time, because their armor has high defense, when entering the watchtower platform, they encounter the defenders on the third floor. They did not retreat, but advanced, but relied on their own strength to defeat the defenders one after another.

The defenders of Shira Castle have encountered such an enemy there.

These enemies are covered in iron armor and look like monsters. Their own weapons can't cause any damage to the other party at all, but as long as the opponent's weapon falls on them, they will definitely die.

Mercenaries armed with nailhead cones. With a fierce swing of the weapon in his hand, he pierced through the Celestial Spirit Cover of one of the defenders.

The white brains splattered out, mixed with blood, and it looked disgusting.

The defenders stabbed their spears, but the spears struck the armor of the opponent and immediately slid to the side, but the enemy was not hurt at all, and they took the opportunity to continue a few steps, and then brandished their heavy weapons and greeted several of their companions, leaving them half-dead.

The mortally wounded defenders collapsed in the stairwell of the revolving cloister, and although they had lost their combat effectiveness, they did not end well at all.

The Portuguese mercenaries don't pay attention to human rights and the laws of war, after all, there is no such thing in this era, is it?

So, the tin men who hit the strikers would step on the faces of these fallen enemies with their big feet, or move forward on their bodies.

The other mercenaries who followed closely behind them would use their swords to completely deal with the badly injured unlucky ones.

Under the heavy reward of ten gold coins, these animals have indeed burst out with combat effectiveness beyond ordinary people.

In addition, the Europeans themselves hate good physical fitness, so with such a rush of hard fighting, the Japanese are not opponents at all.

The defenders guarding the watchtower were overwhelmed by the mercenaries who suddenly broke out, and suddenly retreated a lot of distance to the tower.

These defenders have no choice but to deal with the 'tin men' who are charging ahead.

The swords and spears in their hands have no way to hurt each other, so how can the battle continue.

In this way, the mercenaries quickly advanced to the hill, and all the enemies in the watchtower were routed, completely occupying the watchtower.

At this point, the passage to the city has been completely controlled by the mercenaries.

Soldiers with spears and halberds in the rear rushed up one after another, and engaged in close combat with the enemies at the head of the city.

The mercenaries, who were in charge of the death squad, retreated and found a safe place to rest.

Although they have a lot of strength and physical fitness, they are also very good.

However, wearing such a pair of tin buckets on their bodies is not an easy burden for them.

Besides, after such a fierce battle, they also need to take a good rest before they can continue to fight.

Of course. Most importantly, they need to find Roderni and determine their reward.

Faced with ten of his men asking for a reward, Roderni couldn't quibble about anything.

After all, it was something he personally promised.

If he dares to repent, these people will dare to eat him alive.

Don't look at him as a viscount, but in the eyes of these people, he is actually a fart.

In these years, Europeans even dare to kill the emperor for money, let alone a little viscount.

Everyone followed him to the East, not because of how great his personal charm was. And it was to come to the East to make money.

If you can't make money, then the Viscount's fate will not be good either.

This is also the reason why Viscount Rodelni has been worried about this before he became a mercenary.

Fortunately, he was lucky to meet Zhao Hongyu, and rushed to promote himself to become a cannon fodder mercenary.

Otherwise, it won't be long before his subordinates mutiniate because they can't make any money.

Therefore, Rodernny, who had a deep understanding of this, immediately found the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the rear. I asked him if he had borrowed money.

Faced with Viscount Rodelny who borrowed money, the commander asked the reason, and immediately asked Rodelny to sign an IOU, so that Viscount Rodelny promised. When Shiliang Castle falls and he gets his share of the wealth, he will exchange this loan and give the commander 30% interest.

Originally, this was considered usury. It stands to reason that Viscount Rodelny would not be satisfied.

However, to the surprise of the Gene Man Commander, Viscount Roderny was simply satisfied with this interest. Even immediately urged the commander to sign the IOU.

Yes, the usury offered by the Jews in Europe was double the interest.

Repayment of double the principal is nothing new.

And this commander of the Song Empire actually only asked for 30% interest, and Rodelni felt that he had simply hit a big luck.

Therefore, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he immediately urged the other party to sign an IOU agreement, and the other party in the province regretted it the most.

The commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, how did he know about such things?

He just thinks that with such a high interest, he is a little too dark from time to time.

But what he didn't expect was that in Rodernny's view, he was simply an angelic existence.

The benefits in the Imperial Army are very good, and the salary is also very high.

In addition, Zhao Hongyu pays his salary on a monthly basis, and he has never been in arrears. Therefore, the petty officer of the empire was very rich, even comparable to a small European lord.

A hundred gold coins, that is, more than a thousand silver coins, he is fully capable of taking them out.

At the same time, because of these people, they have followed Zhao Hongyu to sea since last year. For more than a year, they have basically been floating on the sea, so they have no chance to use the salaries they have paid, and they have all been handed over to their adjutants for safekeeping.

At the same time, they searched Osaka Castle for a while, so it was really rich.

Easily, Rodderny took a hundred gold coins and gave them to one of his men who was acting as a death squad.

The commander of the genetic man even felt that it would be a shame for him not to continue to do such a high-interest business.

So, he reminded Rodelny to come to him if he needed to borrow money. He had a lot of money on hand and was definitely able to meet Rodernny's needs.

And he assured that the interest would remain at 30%.

I have to say that Roderni was really impressed.

He immediately said that as long as the interest rate remained at this level, then he would come to borrow.

Anyway, after the capture of Shiliang City, Roderni will get the wealth that belongs to him, and he is still clear about these commanders.

Therefore, he is not afraid that Roderni will not exchange money.

Even if Rodelni was killed in battle, the commander would still have a way to get back the principal and interest.

At the same time, in order to ensure that he had enough money to lend, he actually united with the soldiers of his own team to pool everyone's money.

At this moment, this commander had almost 10,000 gold coins in his hands.

Anyway, everyone's money is also in their hands, and there is nothing wrong with using it to increase value and make some money.

The commander even released the news to all the Portuguese mercenaries and told them that if they needed money in the future, they would come to him.

Huang Xiaoming, the commander of the Second Imperial Army, whose finance company was willing to provide small loans.

No one could have imagined that in the future, the largest loan shark company in the Song Empire was born from such an inconspicuous time.

Because of the support of the army, all the borrowers did not dare not pay back.

At the same time, in the future, when Wang Hu and Professor Liu learned about this company, they also invested a lot of money into this company, and canceled the 30% interest limit, and changed it to the profit of donkey rolling.

Therefore, there are a lot of people.

Moreover, they also lend money to countries that ask the Empire to send troops when these countries cheat.

It is equivalent to saying that this loan shark company used such means to constantly give the Song Empire an open and honest excuse for its external expansion.

And this man with the same name as another star in time and space is also fortunate to be included in the history books.

In later generations, when the people outside the American continent mentioned this name, they would grit their teeth with hatred.

Of course, what they hate more is Lord Viscount Rodelny who caused the little butterfly to vibrate its wings, if it weren't for his borrowing this time, then there wouldn't be so many things in the future, wouldn't it?

It's just that now everyone in Shiliang City can't imagine that such an ordinary loan will cause so many things in the future.

Even the people of the time, they did not see what the future would hold.

The current commander, Huang Xiaoming, just thinks that this thing can make money, and he can control it without losing money.

If that's the case, why wouldn't he do it?

At the same time, he pulled up the soldiers under his command, and once someone dared not to pay back, then they could also give each other a color together.

In this way, with the guarantee of force and abundant funds, this business can be done completely.

He can be regarded as finding a way to make money for his subordinates.

I believe that His Royal Highness knows the truth, and he will not blame himself.

However, it is better to inform His Highness about this matter.

These genetic people who have been cultivated are needless to say loyal to Zhao Hongyu.

If they have something, they will never hide it.

It is precisely with these genetic people as a reliance that the current Zhao Hongyu dares to kill the Japanese people.

"Line up! Top right! Shoot! ”

At this time, the soldiers of the Imperial Praetorian Guard had also begun to shoot at the defenders of the fourth layer.

The third layer of defense has now been basically conquered by mercenaries.

Now, they are about to attack the fourth layer of defense and start the assault!

And the fourth layer of the defensive circle, because of the arrival of Saburo Toyoya, it is not so easy to attack.

At the same time, the Iga ninja also used their own special means to infiltrate the fourth layer of the defense circle of Shira Castle...... (To be continued......)
