Chapter 383: The Horn of the Charge

For Gervais's little pretence, Alice first gave a big roll of her eyes to show her respect.

Then his eyes flashed and he said seriously to Gervais: "Gervais, are you really sure to capture the western wall?" Do you need to have a lot of casualties? ”

Alice also believed that Gervais must have some unique plan.

However, with her knowledge, there is basically no cooperation with the flood to capture Baiyan City, so she continued to ask.

"Of course you are sure! 80% sure! ”

"As for casualties! It can be said that it does not cost a single soldier! ”

Gervais smiled, but he didn't say too much.

After all, this idea is only conceived in his own head, and he can't guarantee a 100% possibility when it comes to reality.

"Also, my cheap wife is fascinating me more and more!"

At the same time, Gervais suddenly found that since this southern expedition, the micro-expressions of his cheap wife have become more and more abundant.

Only occasionally when he is angry will he pose to himself as a cold goddess, which makes Gervais slightly wonder if the domineering countess is going to fall in love with him.

……

By noon that day, the entire Jones family had withdrawn from their camp north of White Rock and moved to the dirt bag to the west.

Regarding the embarrassed appearance of the Jones family, except for the Wheldton family, the other earl families are happy to watch the show, and they are very willing to see the decline of the Jones family.

After lunch, the king ordered several families to spend an hour repairing and allowing the soldiers to digest their lunch meals, and an hour later began the official assault on White Rock Castle.

Time flew by, and as the hour's rest was over, the horns of the northern and eastern walls of White Rock Castle sounded.

The family in charge of the attack began to gather forces a mile outside the city walls.

The offensive strategy set by several major earl families is to attack the city in wheel warfare, and the four counts take turns to attack the city, and the order of the siege is determined by drawing lots.

This has the advantage of being able to attack White Rock City day and night, so that the few defenders of White Rock City will not have any respite.

The disadvantage is that the momentum of the siege is much smaller, and in the face of the wall of Baiyan City, which is three miles wide, it seems that a thousand people are concentrated in the siege.

While trumpets sounded on the north and east walls, there was no movement in the Jones family camp to the west, where most of the soldiers and serfs were still digging trenches with hoes and shovels on their backs.

Since they were going to camp here for a week, a thorough camp defense was still necessary, especially since the Jones family was still camped alone.

Many of the Jones family's minor nobles were happy to 'recuperate', but Gervais, the earl's husband, wanted to make some waves.

"Hurry up, bring the medical supplies and the tent! The battle over there is about to begin! ”

"Lilia, count the number of people, let's go!"

Gervais sat on the unicorn, constantly directing the soldiers to load the same supplies into the wagon, and giving orders to the leader of his medical team.

Today is an important time for Gervais to test the effectiveness of his medical team!

And the girls in the medical team also brought small silk hats that they were usually reluctant to wear.

Not to mention, after wearing this snow-white little hat, these medical girl looks really pleasing to the eye.

Especially during this time, these little nurses ate and drank well, and everyone no longer had their original skinny and skinny faces.

"Report to your lord, all 130 medics of the medical team are in place!"

After a while, Lilia counted the number of people in the medical team according to the counting skills taught by Gervais, and immediately reported to Gervais after making sure that all the staff were in place.

"Good, it's all there, let's go!"

Gervais then led the way to the camp gate with a group of 130 girls from the medical team.

In addition to the physical members of the medical team, Gervais also brought 50 slave soldiers with him, namely longbowmen and swordsmen, who were used to protect the medical team.

In addition to the defensive force, coolies were also indispensable, and there were thirty ordinary slaves who were ready to carry stretchers.

After all, the girls' bodies are weaker, and it is naturally unrealistic to let them carry those armored soldiers back to a safe area for treatment.

In order to save the physical strength of these girls, Gervais even specially arranged more than a dozen carriages for them, so as not to have to walk to the eastern city wall.

"Wow, Viscount Gervais what are you going to do?"

"I'll go! That's not the point! The point is on the hundreds of girls, what are the things on their heads and arms? And a big red cross! ”

"Yes, look at those soldiers of Viscount Gervais are fully armed, as if they are going to war, are these girls going to war too!"

"It's a pity, there are still a few beautiful girls among them!"

As Gervais swaggered through the camp with the girls from the medical team, many of the little nobles looked at this scene strangely and exchanged ears.

The other day these girls had been with the Earl, and though they were strange, they did not dare to ask more.

But now that Gervais was on his way with the girls, their curiosity was overcome.

Gervais ignored these salted fish-like little nobles, and after leaving the camp, he led the team quickly towards the east.

The battle over there is about to begin!

This is money, it's too late, in case the wounded soldiers are all dead, who will you find to make money when the time comes!

Gervais quickly led the team to the eastern wall.

At this time, the soldiers of the Duchy of Jean who were responsible for the siege of the city were already lined up.

What Gervais didn't expect was that the team responsible for the first wave of siege on the eastern wall turned out to be the Wynton family, the lord of the north.

At this moment, the banner fluttering in the siege team lined up in front of him was the Blizzard Bear Banner belonging to the Winton family.

Of course, the banner of the Lord of the North, Gervais, was recognized, it was a roaring white bear head pattern, this white bear was also a kind of magical beast, and it was also a high-level magical beast, called Blizzard Giant Bear.

The Blizzard Bear only lives in the depths of the northern ice and snow, and is also the undisputed overlord of the northern ice and snow.

This time, Winton sent thousands of troops, five large siege ladders, hundreds of simple siege ladders, and three large trebuchets in the rear.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

As the trumpet of the attack from the north sounded again, the lord of the north in the east heard the order and immediately the trumpet in the east was also sounded.

Thousands of soldiers one mile away from White Rock City began to move with the horn and slowly walked towards White Rock City.

At this moment, there was no earth-shattering shouting and killing in the field, and at present, only the loud roars of the minor nobles or the leading soldiers could be vaguely heard.

They were constantly restraining the soldiers in the array, lest some recruits run out of trouble because they couldn't stand the pressure.

"Bang! Bang!"

The soldiers over there were slowly advancing towards the walls of Baiyan City, but the three large trebuchets placed five hundred meters behind them started first.

As the soldier in charge of activating on the side held a hammer and slammed it on the pedal mechanism.

Boom!

The stone projectile, which was larger than a grinding disk, soared into the air, slashing through a visible parabola in the sky and smashing into White Rock City.

One of the three boulders flew over the walls at a high angle, while the other two smashed into the outer walls of White Rock Castle.

Even from two miles away, Gervais could hear the sound of boulders crashing against hard walls.

However, this was the first throw, and it was impossible to see what damage was done except for the boulder that fell into the city.

The two boulders that crashed into the city wall did not cause any damage to the enemy, but both hit the middle and lower part of the wall, leaving a small collision crater on the wall.

"Quick! Adjust the angle! Keep loading! ”

A miss, which was to be expected, and the commander on the trebuchet position began to shout.

"We're camping here, hurry up and get all the supplies ready, and the battle will start later!"

Gervais looked around and realized that his location was the right place for a field hospital.

In order to facilitate the evacuation of the wounded, field hospitals should not be too far from the battlefield, but they should not be too close.

And he is still more than half a mile away from the camp of the Lord of the North and others, and two miles away from Baiyan City, even if the enemy uses a large stone thrower, he can't hit it here under normal circumstances.

With Gervais's order, the medical team and all the soldiers and serfs moved and quickly began to prepare for the camp.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While Gervais was busy, there was another roar on the walls of White Rock City in the distance.

It turned out that the three trebuchets had been reloaded and fired stone projectiles again.

Because of the previous calibration, this time all three stone bullets accurately hit the walls of White Rock City.

And two stone bullets fell on the top of the city wall, and suddenly the stone chips and broken wood on the wall of Baiyan City were splashed, and it was a mess.

Even the wooden roof against the feathers had been smashed into two large gaps.

As for the casualties, it is impossible to judge because Gervais did not pay attention to it just now.

However, this kind of boulder, which is bigger than a stone mill, let alone hit, even if it is rubbed a little, it is crippled if it does not die.

Woo! Woo!

The three large trebuchets were the first to make the move, and the slowly advancing siege team had already approached three hundred meters from White Rock City.

At this moment, the loud horn in the camp was sounded again, this time the horn became sharp and urgent.

This is the signal to charge!

"Kill! Rush up! ”

"Kill!"
