My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 378 Messages from the upper reaches of the river

“Subordinate Barna, subordinate to Snow Eagle Legion Ranger battallion, many thanks to the life-saving grace of the two adults!”

Seeing that everyone stopped chasing, the few Rangers who escaped were all sighed in relief, and one of the Rangers who looked like Captain immediately saluted Gervais and Gandalf respectfully.

“Well, both belong to Jean dukedom, save you nothing difficult.”

“By the way, why are you being chased by so many rangers?”

Gervais waved his hand, then asked Barna curiously.

Don’t look at this Barna is just a Ranger Small Captain, but he also has the strength of a low-level bronze. If it wasn’t for the opponent’s Ranger, he would also have three names of Knight. Not so embarrassed.

“My lord, half an hour ago, I was ordered to lead a team to the west along the river to investigate, and I encountered this group of Rangers ambushing five miles above the river bank. We retreated all the way, damaged After four brothers, I met you here before I was rescued.”

Bana honestly told Gervais about being ambushed and hunted down.

“It stands to reason that the Alban dukedom rangers should not need to run west, we all come from the north!”

Gervais is a little strange, this west is all Alban Dukedom’s own territory, there is definitely no need to send so many Rangers there.

“Sir, there is a shoal above the river. We just saw someone building a dam on it. Originally, we wanted to look further ahead, but didn’t expect to encounter an ambush!”

“What? Dams?”

Gervais was shocked!

“Did the Alban dukedom think of flooding us too?”

It’s really possible!

The terrain of Baiyan City is flat, although there are gentle slopes with a drop of more than ten meters all around, but if the dam is broken and water is released when Jean dukedom is sieging the city, it will definitely wash away the soldiers under the city wall. fall.

Because the city wall of Baiyan City is built with boulders, ordinary floods cannot shake Baiyan City at all, but the defenders can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Gervais glanced at his cheap dad and continued to ask, “Bana, how many people are building the dam upstream?”

“Sir, there are a lot of people there. There are about 200 people, but from a distance they are basically dressed as serfs and peasants. There seem to be only about 30 soldiers wearing armor, and the more than 50 rangers who just chased us should also be stationed there!”

Barna responded quickly to Gervais.

“Very good! Bana! There’s nothing else going on here! You should go back and report the situation first!”

Gervais nods, the number is not too large, so it’s easy to handle .

If the Jones family chooses to set up camp in the west, and is also responsible for the attack in the west, it must ensure the safety of the upstream. The dam must not be built by the people of Dukedom in Alban.

“Yes! Your lord! I don’t know what the surnames of the two adults are. When you go back, your subordinates will report the two adults’ exploits to the supervisor!”

Although the enemy’s rangers are allowed to Seven or eight people ran away, but there were also more than 40 enemy bodies left by the river.

This kind of credit can’t be considered small, so in order to repay Gervais and the others, Barna thought about going back and claiming credit for Gervais and the others.

“My name is Gervais ·Gale, this is my father Gandalf ·Gale!”

“But it’s not necessary to declare military exploits! We will return to the camp to declare these matters later. Yes, you can just go back directly!”

Gervais naturally knew what Barna was thinking, and if Barna, the Small Captain under the king’s command, reported it, it would definitely be a real credit, no one Dare to write small.

However, if the credit is declared, then the current spoíls of war will also need to be turned in later.

Because the mission of the rangers is to run fast, the equipment is not worth much, but the horses they ride are worth a lot of money, and they are all horses that are comparable to the lowest-class war horses.

If ordinary infantry are beheaded by them, Gervais will definitely report without the slightest hesitation in exchange for merit.

But looking at the more than 30 intact warhorses still wandering around the river, Gervais felt that the credit should not be reported for the time being.

“Yes! Your Excellency! The subordinates will go back to the camp to report their duties first, and thanks again for the life-saving grace of the two adults!”

Barna understood what Gervais meant in seconds, but Of course he had no problem, Gervais and the others had saved their lives, and they knew it too.

“father, it seems that we need to quickly select the camp location, and then go upstream to check the situation, otherwise when the time comes there is a real flood, we must bear the brunt!”

Wait for Barna After a few people left, Gervais said something to Gandalf.

“You’re right, little Gervais!”

“You know more than your big brother now! That way father can be at ease!”

Gandalf was happy, patted Gervais’ shoulder.

Then Gervais and Gandalf circled around and selected their camp on a dirt bag about a kilometer away.

This earthbag is high in terrain, so you don’t have to worry about the enemy’s water attack. The only troublesome thing is that the earthbag is covered with Haloxylon.

However, Gervais and Gandalf thought that they needed to build a pontoon bridge anyway, so they might as well cut down the haloxylon trees and set up camp first, which served multiple purposes.

The location of the camp was determined, Gervais and Gandalf recalled the soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and all the enemy corpses had been thrown into the river and went down the river.

And those war horses and still usable weapons and armors were gathered together.

“father, I only need 10 of these war horses, you can take the rest!”

Gervais stood by the river and waved his hand, dividing the horses into 2/ 3/2022 to Gandalf.

“Little Gervais, there are too many, or the father and you each person gets half!”

Gandalf’s mouth was so happy when he heard Gervais’ words, but He received the little son’s wishes, but the horses were not ready to accept them.

“Father, listen to me, I don’t lack warhorses now. The ones I grabbed from the Yejin Knights last time were High Level warhorses, enough for all my guards to ride!”

Gervais persisted.

Seriously, these horses, Gervais, which can still be regarded as the lowest-level warhorses, are really not very popular now. He has more than 100 high-level warhorses.

But his cheap old man is poor and poor, and his guards have only a few people with a few horses, and they are all ordinary horses, which is quite shabby.

“If that’s the case, then father will accept it!”

Seeing Gervais’s firm tone, Gandalf no longer insists, and happily accepts the horses on 2/3/2022 .

After taking the spoíls of war, Gervais and Gandalf first returned to the camp. As for going five kilometers upstream, they still need to inform Alice and bring more people.

When the entire group of Gervais passed through the east of White Rock City, the team of the Lord of the North and the others had already set up camp, and the moat under White Rock City also broke out a moderate conflict.

There was no real attack from the big count families this morning.

Because there is a forty-fifty meter wide moat outside the White Rock City.

The first task now is to fill the moat and open up siege passages. The other is to prepare siege ladders and set up siege machines such as trebuchets.

At this moment, there are thousands of serfs under the city wall in the east of Baiyan City, driven by soldiers, constantly moving towards the moat and filling up the sand.

The moat is only more than 20 meters away from the city wall, and the total length of the river is only more than 70 meters, so the longbowmen of the Baiyan City defenders can easily attack these serfs.

Of course, Jean dukedom did not completely let these serfs die, but was equipped with a large number of longbowmen to cover them, constantly moving towards the city wall and shooting arrows.

However, because it shoots from the bottom up, and there is a wooden shed on the city wall, the effect is not very good, and the psychological pressure caused to the enemy is much greater than the real damage.

It is worth mentioning that Gervais noticed that the defenders of White Rock City did not use the trebuchets to target the serfs who were filling the river. attack.

Gervais wrote down this detail silently, and later had to ask Alice to remind the Lord of the North that the soldiers of the Wynton family should spread out when they attacked, otherwise they would rush up, and maybe a stone would fall. Can hit a lot.
