Later, Ike and Laurie conveyed Gervais's orders, and Gervais's siege operation officially began.

Because of the number of people, Gervais did not plan to fill in the aisle wide this time, only one or two meters wide, so that two or three people could walk side by side.

Otherwise, with fifty meters of slaves alone, it would be impossible to fill in the other side of the moat even if it was filled in tomorrow.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the trebuchet was activated, the castle in front of it was constantly attacked by stone bullets, and this time it was daytime, so the stone bullets landed more accurately, and the scene was even more thrilling.

After only two rounds of missiles, Gervais saw a tower in Fort Bain collapse not far away, and the three or four guards on it were buried by the rubble.

The siege of the city continued to be carried out under the trebuchet, which can be called a strategic weapon, and Gervais has been sitting in a soft chair watching the progress of the siege.

There was no need for Gervais to command anything, Ike and the others were each doing their own duties, attacking the city here, and there were twenty longbowmen on the periphery.

Gervais's small steel cannon has also been put into the pond, loaded with scattered bullets, and if someone behind him wants to sneak up on his team, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Bang bang bang!

Thundered!

Finally, as the sun set, a loud noise came from Fort Bain in the distance, and Gervais followed the sound to see that a section of the wall in front of Fort Bain was collapsing, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

"Ike, bring me my full body armor! Tell the swordsmen and longbowmen! Get ready for the siege! ”

After waiting for hours, it was finally time for this moment, and although it was expected, Gervais always felt troubled.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, Gervais put on his full-body armor with the help of Ike.

The slave pikemen beneath the walls also filled the crumbling section of the wall with earth.

The collapsed wall of Fort Bain this time is much more serious than that of Kalunburg, with a gap of more than four meters wide, and the remaining height of the wall is less than five meters.

Gervais reckoned that this was due to the effect of the trebuchet's ability to concentrate attacks in one place during the day.

"Everyone, follow me! Surrender without killing, and those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

This time, they were all Gervais's own subordinates, and they were all ordinary soldiers, so Gervais didn't want casualties, and he wasn't prepared to spare those who resisted.

Soon, Gervais was coming with fifty or sixty men to the beneath the walls of Bainburg to prepare for the enthronement.

The defenders above the walls were still resisting, shooting arrows at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Forty members of Laurie's team with long muskets in their hands began to cover the siege of Gervais and others, constantly shooting at the defenders who were outcropping and bowing and arrows.

With the sporadic sound of gunfire, one or two screams could be heard from time to time on the city walls, and a few guards were shot by muskets and fell directly from the top of the castle.

On Gervais's side, after the siege ladder was erected, Gervais took the lead in climbing up the city wall.

It's no wonder that Gervais takes the lead every time, he is also quite helpless, Gervais does not have a knight with a title, and the Phoenix in the castle is wearing full body armor, obviously a bronze knight, if he allows his subordinates to rush forward first, he will definitely pay a lot of casualties.

"Lay down your arms, surrender and don't kill! Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

Gervais jumped into the vestibule first, charging at the guards who were not far away.

There was no suspense about what happened next, just a minute or two, and Gervais took this Bain Castle.

Through this siege, Gervais discovered a problem, these noble heirs still took the lead in blocking themselves and others even though they knew that they were stronger than them.

Gervais didn't know if they were afraid of death, or if they knew that they could buy their lives with ransom, in short, it was in line with Gervais's intentions to do so, and directly grabbed these noble heirs as hostages, and those guards would obediently stop, because they couldn't afford such a responsibility.

When Ike and the others completely controlled all the defenders, it also meant that Gervais had a few hundred gold coins in his account.

"What? Eight hundred gold coins? Viscount Gervais, why don't you grab it! ”

"I'm just robbing it right now!"

Let Ike and the others go around the castle, the situation in this Bain Fort is the same as that of Kalunburg, and all the valuable things have been sent to Wheat Leaf City.

So Gervais didn't bother to beat around the bush, and directly proposed the same price as Babette.

Phoenix felt that Gervais was a lion's mouth, but Gervais's answer made Phoenix's face instantly red, but he had nothing to say.

And Babette, who was still tied up on the side, also had a gloating smile at the moment, this is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone.

This castle steward in Bainburg is obviously not as good as the Gabi butler in Kalunburg.

Gabby was able to keep his composure when he saw Gervais and the others, but the housekeeper of Fort Bain was a little cringe.

But this is normal, after all, not everyone is not afraid of death, and in this case, even if you are paralyzed, there is no shame.

After quoting the amount of gold, Gervais directly explained how the castle steward would make the transaction.

And like Gabi, let them tell the people in the castle along the way: as long as they hand over the hostages, they can keep the castle intact.

By the time the castle steward of Bainburg rushed to Maiye City with two servants to report the news, it was already completely dark, and Gervais simply rested in the castle for the night.

Early the next morning, Gervais continued his journey.

The Bainburgh servant was still imprisoned in the dungeon by Gervais, and he planted the Rose Banner above the castle, and left 10 serfs as temporary defenders, waiting for the follow-up army.

After another half a day, Gervais arrived at the last castle on his route, which was still a baronial castle.

When Gervais arrives at the bottom of what is called Fort Aubery with Babette and Phoenix, he is surprised.

"Are you the Viscount Gervais of the Jones family?"

"Yes, you know me?"

At this moment there was a young man on the city wall, who was not wearing armor, but only a gorgeous silk gown.

"I heard what happened to them from the Steward of Fort Kalun and the steward of Fort Bain, and it was from them that I learned your name."

The young man on the castle replied in a slightly respectful tone.

"Viscount Gervais, as long as I am willing to go out of the city as your hostage, will you really give up attacking Fort Obery?"

"Of course, you've heard about the ransom, right? Eight hundred gold coins are needed, and you should know these two beside me, and they also need eight hundred gold coins to redeem them. ”

Seeing that the young man on the city wall was so good, of course Gervais was happy, and it would be no good for him to take the castle, so why not take the hostages and go to Wheat Leaf City to exchange gold coins.

"Yes, Viscount Gervais, I hope you can do what you say!"

The young man on the city wall did not hesitate any longer, and began to order the baskets to be lowered from the castle.

"Do you two know this man? Don't lie to me, or he'll lose it on your heads!" ”

Seeing that the young man was so cooperative, Gervais was satisfied, but he still checked with Babette and Phoenix, so as not to be deceived by the people in the castle with fake heirs.

Hearing Gervais's question, Babette and Phoenix couldn't help but roll their eyes, they had never seen such a knightly person as Gervais.

"Yes, his name is Ulric, and he is the eldest son of Baron Aubury!"

Gervais ignored the aggrieved expressions of the two, and after confirming the identity of the young man, Gervais was paying attention to the man's actions.

The hanging basket on the castle was slowly lowered, but this time it was not Ulric who came down, but a manservant, and only after the manservant reached the bottom of the city wall did Ulric ride the hanging basket to the bottom of the wall.

At this time, there was a small wooden boat under the city wall, and I don't know if it was prepared by Ulrik in advance, so the two of them took this small wooden boat and slowly came to the other side of the moat.

"Hello, Viscount Gervais!"

"Hello, Ulric! You've made a wise choice! ”

Gervais laughed, but this sentence of Qua Ulric was not wrong, after all, in the face of Gervais's fifty trebuchets, such a baron's castle could not be defended.

At that time, the castle wall collapsed, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to repair and rebuild it in the future.

Next, Gervais took a banner of the Jones family and asked the manservant to take it back to the castle and plant it, so that the Jones family would not know the situation and continue to attack the city two days later.

In addition, Gervais also asked the steward of the castle to go to Maiye City to report the news, so that Baron Obury could prepare the ransom.

At this point, the Jones family's castle along the way has been solved by Gervais, and the ransom alone can harvest 2,400 gold coins, and when the large army returns, it is estimated that many serfs can be caught.

"This kind of business is so easy to do, should I go to the route of several other earl families to make a profit?"

Gervais suddenly had this thought.

The other families were numerous, and many of them marched on their feet, which was not at all comparable to the speed of the 'carriage-like infantry team' of Gervais.

So Gervais reckoned that they were probably still tackling the first castle by now, and he thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to quickly go to their route to harvest.

Anyway, when the time comes, you only need to persuade yourself to surrender, if you really don't surrender, it's a big deal to leave directly, but as long as there is a castle that surrenders, then you can make a net profit of 800 gold coins.

From this Ulric's mouth, Gervais knew why he had chosen to surrender so readily.

It turned out that when Gabi came to talk about the situation in Calenburg, Ulic didn't care, and even thought that Gabi was too cowardly to help the enemy to convey these words that obviously meant to surrender.

But when the steward of Bainburgh said the same thing, Ulrique had to pay attention.

So he quickly sent people to check on the two castles, but he was shocked at first glance, the two castles were directly knocked down a small section of the city wall, and all of them were breached.

After getting such news, where did Ulric still have a fluke mentality.

With the same ending, why not save the lives of the castle and your subordinates.

So he made a wise choice, and he had the scene just now.
