Chapter 367: The Earl of Nassau wants to be Sima Zhao!
Not to mention, perhaps it was the young master Heinrich who was forgiving, and the security of the castle was not done properly, Dietrich really contacted a few internal advisers, and agreed to secretly open the city gate early tomorrow morning and let the army of the Count of Pomeron in.
You may be wondering, why not at night?
In fact, the reason is very simple, people in this era are not rich enough in nutrients, and as farmers, they eat vegetarian food all day long. As expensive
Clan, eat meat all day long, which leads to unbalanced nutrition, night blindness, and blind eyes at night! Let a group of blind people go to war, that scene, I'm afraid it's not a laughing person! (Where is the enemy?) Where is the enemy? I felt like I had touched something hard and cold! It's not good, it's in an ambush, ah~)
And Han Xing's work of making siege equipment is also in full swing, the Hesse region is already rich in wood, coupled with the tireless hard work of the powerful and infinite devil terminator, more than a dozen siege ladders have been put in place, and two siege towers have been prepared! Originally, Han Xing wanted to get a few catapults to play with, but Dietrich said nonchalantly: "This is where I will live in the future, you smashed it for me, and I will have to pay for it when the time comes?" So Han Xing had no choice but to give up.
In the early morning of the next day, when the east was white and the sun was rising from the east like a poached egg, I saw that the metal fence gate was "creaking" up.
Dietrich and the Count of Pomeron were overjoyed, and rushed in with their troops, but as expected, they were ambushed!
When they had swarmed in a few hundred people, they saw the heavy metal fence gate fall with a "clang", while the gate of the inner castle in front of them was closed. Now it's okay, it's become a caged bird, a turtle in an urn, and a human head~
Countless ambushes suddenly appeared at the top of the inner and outer cities, and the city walls were crowded. One by one, the soldiers either drew their bows and arrows, or traced the Dietrich army below with crossbows.
I saw a burly (shēn) earman at the head of the city, wearing a nose helmet, cast iron plate armor, and a sleeveless heraldic burqa, on which was painted the coat of arms of a golden lion on a blue background, and it was the Count of Na (sāo).
"Hmph~ Master Dietrich, you also have today? Aren't you a smart person? Why did you end up being shut down by me and beating the dog? Oops~ How can we still have our noble Count of Pomeron? Unexpectedly, it's better to buy one get one free! Hahahaha~" Count Na (sāo) looked at the young master Dietrich and the Count of Pomeron with a stunned look on their faces below, mixed with a surprised table (qíng), and sneered proudly.
Young Master Dietrich and Count Pomeron below also realized that they had been tricked, and now there are more than 1,800 people, only a third of them have followed, and as soon as this gate is closed, it is a man-made sword, and I am a fish (ròu)mile~
"Count Sāo, you are actually cheating, you are inevitably losing your knightly demeanor!" The Count of Pomeron scolded indignantly, and he blew his beard angrily and glared, and his mung bean eyes widened in anger.
"Trying to open the city gate by internal deception, you didn't deceive!" Count Sāo quipped, "If you don't have these tricks, how can you end up in such a field?" ”
"Now, there's no need to talk nonsense! You two, die! Count Sāo smiled sinisterly, and as he spoke, he was about to signal the crossbowmen to fire all their arrows.
"Wait!" But I heard a deep and powerful voice sound. I saw a young man (shēn) wearing heraldic chain mail, with a rough black beard, waving his hand, walking in a tiger's step, and walking out with a big grin.
"Lord Duke!" Count Na's face sank slightly, but he still bowed to the person who came (shēn). This Duke is naturally not Lord Duke, obviously, the person who came is the eldest son of the Duke of Hesse, Young Master Heinrich, the new Duke of Hesse.
"The following people are all (yīn) traitors who plot to overthrow you, kill them, and kill them, so that the subjects of the Duchy of Hesse will be in awe of you!" Count Na (sāo) was obviously not willing to accept him, and he (yīn) pouted compassionately.
"He's my brother after all!" Duke Heinrich obviously couldn't be so ruthless, although he had a rough beard, but he had a pair of sentimental eyes, he looked at his younger brother Dietrich below, sighed and said.
"Dietrich, as long as you are willing to surrender, I can promise to spare your life, but you will have to be bishop for the rest of your life and give up your inheritance! To you, Count Pomeron, if you give up your resistance, I will not be guilty of the past! Duke Heinrich said to the two below.
He also had some considerations of his own, he had already understood his father's trade-offs, and knew very well that the Count of Sāo and the Count of Pomeron were the two elements of the Duchy of Hesse, and they played a role of mutual checks and balances. If one of them falls, it is likely to cause the other to grow unlimitedly. This is also the reason why the old Duke of Hesse did not take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Count of Pomeron, who supported his younger brother Lansen.
"Don't cry your cat and fake mercy! I have more than 4,000 people outside, and Count Hangchel Segard will come to my rescue! Dietrich, however, did not take his brother in the slightest, and roared like a trapped beast with red eyes.
The Count of Pomeron has already shown a look of emotion, he just wants to be opportunistic, and now he is trapped in the urn city, and has become a turtle in the urn, and he is not afraid, but he has already retreated, and intends to surrender to Heinrich in order to preserve his wealth and status.
Count Sāo had a big heart, and seeing that Count Pomeron had already moved and was about to change his course, he suddenly waved his hand. By the time the little Duke of Hesse wanted to obstruct it, it was too late, and eighty percent of the soldiers at the head of the city were under the Count of Sāo, and for a while, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and arrows rained down.
And the first to bear the brunt is the Count of Pomeron, several crossbow arrows are running for him, after all, the Count of Pomeron is the henchman of Count Sāo, as long as he dies, no matter who wins Heinrich or Dietrich, the real winner in the end will be him Count Sāo!
That's right, Han Xing is actually just a little person in the way in his eyes, and he has never looked down on Han Xing from the bottom of his bones. Only when Han Xing was frightened by him (pì) rolling urine, hugging his head and running away, he fled back to Paderborn overnight! If Han Xing knew his idea, he was afraid that he would be laughed to death:
"The lord of the first realm is actually a little transparent in your eyes?"
In an instant, more than a dozen feathered arrows had sunk into Count Bomeen's (shēn) body, and the trembling arrow feathers were still "buzzing". Most of them were short crossbow arrows, and Rao was a good plate armor worn by Count Bomeen, but he could not withstand the condescending (shè) blow of the crossbow arrows in just a few tens of meters, and suddenly became a bloody hedgehog.
He whimpered, spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs suddenly went limp, he could no longer bear the weight of the armor, he fell to the ground with a thud, his hands and feet twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving. A pair of mung bean eyes can't be blinded even to death, and they are unprecedentedly angry, and they can't die anymore!
On the contrary, it was Dietrich, who was not the first target, and witnessed the process of the Count of Pomerne's arrow, so frightened that he stumbled forward, and happened to lie down under the wall, narrowly dodging several deadly feathered arrows. However, the pì stocks he pouted were not so lucky, and there were no bulletproof panties in these days (as if they existed in some era······ He ate an arrow.
"Count Sāo, are you crazy?" Now the little Duke of Hesse was in a hurry, he shouted angrily, grabbed the collar of Count Sāo and said.
"Lord Duke, I'm doing it for your own good, too! For the sake of the stability and prosperity of the Duchy of Hesse, we cannot be merciful to those rebels! Count Na (sāo) coldly broke the hand of the little Duke of Hesse.
"Come on, Lord Duke is tired! Send him back to his room to rest! Count Sāo waved his hand, and immediately several burly sergeants came up, grabbed the little Duke Hesse's arm, and carried him into the castle.
"You dare!" Let's not forget that our little Duke of Hesse was also a master of great prowes in battle, a knightly monarch who excelled in horseback riding and swordsmanship, and he first broke free from the control of the two sergeants, and then struck the man on his left in the lower abdomen, snatched the saber from his waist, and stabbed him in the cross; He struck the helmet of the man on his right with the hilt of his sword, and while he was dizzy, he slammed him out of the city with all the strength of his strength (shēn). This series of actions was completed in a few seconds, which shows that he is also a first-class knight, not a doll at the mercy of others.
The little Duke of Hesse brandished his blood-stained sword, looked at Count Sāo vigilantly, and said, "Count Sāo, do you want to be the dwarf Piping?" I'm not a lazy king! (Pepin the Short, father of Charlemagne and founder of the Carolingian dynasty, deposed the last king of the Merovingian dynasty "Lazy King" with the support of the Pope, and his ancestors and grandchildren played roles similar to Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, and Sima Yan.) As the heir to the Duchy of Hesse, Charlemagne's deeds are a must-read)
"So what? Lord Duke, we have taken the (sāo) family to make you Hesse family vassals for hundreds of years, and it's time to change positions, right? Besides, what can you do? Count Na (sāo) looked playfully at the lonely little Duke of Hesse, and in the distance on the city wall, at this time, the sword and sword shadows, blood (ròu) was flying, and the Na (sāo) army was cleaning up the soldiers loyal to the Duke of Hesse.
The screams soon stopped abruptly, and hundreds of crossbows were aimed at the little Duke of Hesse, who dared to move for fear that he would be turned into a hedgehog.
"Lord Duke, please go back and rest! Otherwise, I would have to regret to announce that you were assassinated by your despicable brother in this conflict! Count Sāo said coldly, at this time, his ambition was undoubtedly revealed, what he wanted was the entire Duchy of Hesse, and he was no longer satisfied with being a minister of the dragon, but wanted to be Cao (cāo) and Sima Yi, and do the thing that abolished.
"You, you despicable villain!" The little Duke of Hesse also knew that resisting at this time was just a vain life, so he waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and planned to turn (shēn) away.
"By the way, Lord Duke, if you can marry Miss Elles to Xiao'er, it will definitely lay a solid foundation for the friendship between your and my two families for generations!" Take (sāo) Count (yīn) Yang Strange Qi Dao.
Asking the Duke of Hesse to marry his sister Egles to his son is equivalent to making it clear that he wants to seize the foundation of the Duchy of Hesse, and if he gives birth to a boy and half a girl, the Sāo family can easily include the Duchy of Hesse in his pocket, and the little Duke of Hesse will be reduced to an outcast, what a good calculation!
At this moment, a soldier rushed over and said, "Lord Earl, something is wrong, the northern city wall has been captured!" ”
