Chapter 340: The Second Attack

Now Jason's expression was very eerie, and there were more than a dozen commanders in fine armor kneeling in front of him, and two nobles also kneeling on the ground.

The reason why they were successfully attacked last night was entirely because of these two nobles, and they and their soldiers were responsible for last night's patrol mission, but they actually returned to the camp to rest at night.

"Viscount Cott, don't you think you should give us a proper explanation?"

The tents were filled with generals and nobles, with Dogma and Hassan standing behind Jason, and Lancelot and Gareth outside to gather their troops.

After last night's incident, Jason felt that he could no longer pin this tens of thousands of troops on this group of unreliable nobles, from now on their army will be managed by Jason, and all those who do not cooperate will be detained.

They were completely unaware that this large-scale military operation was not for tourism at all, but for life and death fighting, and years of stable life had smoothed out their former sharpness.

"Your Highness, please...... Please forgive me...... Your fault, please give us another chance!"

Viscount Cotter was pale and sweaty, and he felt like his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The nobleman kneeling beside him was like this, not even as good as him, and now he was too nervous to speak.

Originally, the two nobles were arranged to carry out the camp patrol mission at the same time to avoid the incident of last night, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental that they directly ran into two straw bales.

"I'll give you a chance, who's going to give my soldiers a chance?"

Jason's expression was neither happy nor sad, but his words made everyone's hearts chill, it seemed that this matter could not be good, so no one was willing to stand up and plead for them.

Because of this attack, the 3,000 heavily armored soldiers under Jason's command lost nearly 300 people!

"As for you. ”

Jason set his eyes on the many commanders kneeling behind them, the same ones who led the patrol last night.

"Pull it out and behead it for public display. Then, amid the wails and begs of these generals for mercy, several warriors came in from outside and dragged them away.

After a while, their wails stopped abruptly, and everyone knew what it meant, and their heads lowered and lowered.

As for Viscount Kurt, the two of them turned paler, and they seemed to have seen their fate.

"Viscount Cotter's negligence at such times has caused us to suffer great losses, and we have been temporarily taken into custody until the war is over and handed over to the Northland Court for trial and sentence. ”

The Northland Court was a body that Jason had previously established with nobles in various places to try aristocratic violations, and its role was to weaken the privileges of the nobility.

The composition of its judges is composed of half of the nobles and nobles from all over the north, the other half of them are officials of all sizes under Jason's command, and even a small number of commoners.

When he first established the court, he was under great pressure, and as a last resort, Jason agreed to set up a law school in the aristocratic college in Lucca, and began to accept civilian students.

Jason deliberately fostered the status of the commoner officials in order to weaken the power of the great nobility of the North and to counterbalance the superstructure of the North.

But when this matter was executed, he found that things were far from being as simple as he imagined, and even if the commoners got more power, it would be difficult to balance those entrenched nobles.

Their heritage is far beyond the reach of these nascent classes of civilian rights.

"You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

After Jason finished speaking, he glanced at the nobles present with an indifferent gaze, and all of them felt a pressure, because Jason was really in a bad mood now, and he didn't have the heart to be false with them.

"Everything is at the mercy of the adults. "Viscount Lyon took the lead in speaking out, since he is Jason's descendant, he must set an example at this time.

As he spoke, all the confessions echoed, and it was really not something a smart person should do to touch Jason's mold head at this time.

"Your Highness, the enemy's barracks are moving again, and the scouts have reported that they are basically slave legions gathered this time, and behind them are the regular army. ”

At this moment, Gareth suddenly walked in from the outside, and he said respectfully to Jason, and he didn't even look at the two people kneeling on the ground.

"What? Do they dare to come?"

Although a little surprised, Jason still stood up and walked outside the tent, saying as he went: "Order the infantry to form a defensive formation, stop their steps, and everyone return to their posts, ready to deal with emergencies at any time." ”

Soon he led Hassan and them to the front of the camp, took out his monoculars, and observed the enemy camp from afar.

Sure enough, a group of ragged slaves, armed only with some wooden sticks or rudimentary spears, slowly began to assemble in front of the barracks.

This class is the most common in siege warfare in this world, and their role is to consume the defensive equipment on the walls, such as the oil and rolling stones.

"Your Highness, their camp is alive on the hillside, and it will not be easy for us to break through their camp. ”

Hassan stood beside him and spoke softly, if they were on a mountain, perhaps the army could try to surround the foot of the mountain, cutting off their water and food.

"It's not a big problem, the Black God ballista and catapults are enough to break through their camp gates, but if we make a strong attack, we may suffer big losses next. ”

Jason said with some annoyance, he didn't expect Phil to be so crazy and attack him directly, although he had prepared for this situation before, but he still felt a little rushed at this time.

In particular, the army within the kingdom has begun to move to the north, and the province of Zhelun has directly poured out, sending tens of thousands of troops to stop his footsteps.

Aren't they afraid of any accidents on the side of the White Sword Province?The uneasiness in Jason's heart became more and more intense, and he felt that his previous worries were not unreasonable.

Fortunately, he and Zola had already left behind to prepare.

"Push the catapult out, and then order the longbowmen troops to be ready to strike at any moment. ”

After the catapult had been attacked the camp last night, he ordered the sappers to assemble it, and because of the time constraints, only twelve were assembled, in order to prevent the general on the opposite side from organizing another attack today.

Soon after, the slave legions of the province of Geralen gradually descended the hillside and came to this flat wilderness, and slowly entered the attack range of Jason's army.

"The catapult starts. ”

Boom! Boom!

A roar rang out on the side of the catapult, and then boulders rose into the air, and then fell with a bang into the slowly marching slave army, and blood flowers bloomed in the military formation.
