Chapter 241 Changfeng Fort

"My lord, my lord is Count Bernard Ferdinand. Please take note of this..."

Baron Deacon removed his backer.

"Of course I respect Count Bolena very much, but you, the guy who raises troops and violates the country, must not go unpunished!"

Simon said casually with a slight smile, waved his hands, and Sarit and others immediately escorted this person away.

"Count Simon, you can't do this! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to go to Eagle City...ah!!"

Sarit knocked Baron Deacon unconscious with one punch, then found linen cloth to cover his mouth, tied him up, and asked the soldiers to take him down for custody.

Seeing this, Simon nodded with satisfaction, looked at Saumir again, and said with a smile: "You performed pretty well in this battle.

As long as you serve me sincerely, I won't treat you badly. "

"It is an honor for me to be loyal to the Earl. From now on, your will will be the direction we move forward. We are willing to do your best!"

Somir immediately knelt down on one knee and said with a pious expression.

The other four barons, the second son of the nobles, also quickly followed suit and knelt down with their heads bowed.

"Very good! Everyone, get up." Simon smiled lightly.

Hearing this, they paused for a moment before standing up one after another.

After a while, Sarit arrived and reported: "Your Majesty, we captured more than 2,000 militiamen and killed more than 500 enemy soldiers.

In addition, more than 500 standing troops surrendered. "

“Collect their weapons, take off their armor, and take them into custody.

Let’s rest today and head towards Changfeng Leader tomorrow.

In addition, Baron Dickon's soldiers were not allowed to leave, and if they disobeyed, they would be killed without mercy. " Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Sarit immediately accepted the order, bowed respectfully and went to do his business.

In the time that followed, Simon took the cavalry for a walk around Moon Lake and inspected the surrounding terrain.

Towards evening, they killed all the dozens of sheep and eight cows they had brought with them and rewarded the entire army.

Anyway, after capturing Changfeng Territory tomorrow, there will be no shortage of meat such as cattle and sheep.

The soldiers mixed the thick rye porridge and gnawed on the fragrant meat. The whole camp was in a happy mood.

Even the militia prisoners were given a bowl of sticky wheat porridge to wrap their bellies around.

As for Baron Dickon's standing soldiers, they will be hungry first and then make plans after screening them.

After Simon had a good meal, he led his troops to inspect the camp, then returned to the tent and lay down.

He also brought up the panel, browsed the soldiers in the team column, and performed some operations to add points from time to time.

Sarit's fighting spirit level is already at level 10. In another year at most and with more small battles, he should be able to rise to the bronze knight level.

In addition, after this battle, more than 20 people could be promoted to golden warriors, but Simon did not give them any advice.

Anyway, you can’t lose the strengthening points, and it’s not too late to add more when necessary.

Now that they have been promoted, these people will inevitably eat more, causing unnecessary consumption.

It was a quiet night, and the sky was dawning.

The cooks in the camp began to get up and move around, lighting fires to cook, and by the time it got daylight, the camp was already bustling with people.

"Your Majesty the Earl, the army has been reorganized and is ready to set off."

Sarit walked into Simon's tent and reported.

At this time, Simon had already eaten breakfast and was wiping the fire-destroying sword. Hearing this, he put the sword into its sheath, stood up and ordered: "Get out!"

"yes!"

A few hours later.

Simon then led his army into the Changfeng Territory. This territory was not small in size, but had more forests and mountains than plains.

In the agricultural era, such territory was undoubtedly barren.

However, Baron Deacon's business was pretty good. Along the way, he had discovered more than a dozen villages of various sizes along the roadside.

In total, there are about two to three thousand people.

Originally, Simon wanted to move all the people in Changfeng Territory to Fearless Territory or Sanshan Territory.

But I found that the people here have cultivated a lot of farmland and planted crops.

If all the people were moved away, these farmlands would undoubtedly be abandoned, so he changed his mind.

"My lord, we have arrived at Baron Feddy's castle!"

While Simon was sitting on his horse concentrating on his thoughts, Mylan reminded him.

He looked up and saw a small castle standing a thousand meters away. It was about the same size as Battle Ax Castle and the workmanship was very rough.

The outer walls are uneven and uneven. They are made entirely of yellow mud mixed with straw and irregular stones.

The wall is about five meters high and the watchtower is about eight meters high.

Although such a fortress is rough, it is almost enough to defend against bandits or light troops of less than 3,000 men.

"Ask Baron Dickon to open the city gate." Simon ordered softly.

"Yes!" Sarit responded.

After a while, he returned and reported: "Your Majesty, he is unwilling."

"Haha, let's set up camp first and prepare to attack.

The soldiers under my command have never participated in a real siege battle, and this time they are just practicing. "Simon said confidently.

"Yes! Sir! Let me get ready now!" Sarit said as ordered.

More than an hour later, trebuchets, battering rams, ladders and other siege equipment were assembled, and the soldiers were in place.

However, the soldiers participating in the siege clearly had fear on their faces. This siege was about taking human lives to rob the castle, and everyone understood it.

"The first one to get there will be rewarded with ten gold coins! Become an honorary knight!" Simon glanced at them and ordered.

When Mailan heard the words, he immediately led people to convey the news. This amount of money was considered a huge sum for ordinary people.

People die for money, birds die for food, not to mention the power and glory.

As soon as this order was issued, the morale of the soldiers was obviously much higher. In addition to tension and fear, there was also a touch of greed in their eyes.

"Throw stones! Put on fire pots!" Wall drew his sword and ordered. He was in charge of a corps of engineers with hundreds of people.

The engineers immediately began to load according to the instructions. After a while, four special fire bombs with tail flames attacked Changfeng Castle.

The place where the fire bombs landed exploded like fireworks, and the flames rose up, and a fire was ignited within a radius of five or six meters.

"Ah!! It's a catapult!"

"What happened to the baron!? Is there an accident?" There was a panic on the outer wall of the castle, and about two or three hundred soldiers participated in the defense.

This is almost the last bit of troops in the current Changfeng Territory.

"Don't panic! Hide in the protective wall! This kind of fire bomb has insufficient penetration and can't break the wall!"

A knight in heavy armor climbed up the outer wall, raised his sword and commanded loudly.

However, at this moment, an armor-piercing arrow flew into the air, and the man was not careful and could not dodge, and was shot in the chest.

The arrow pierced the armor on his chest, vibrated for a moment, and a trace of blood flowed out along the gap.

"Sir! Protect the knight!"

The man was dragged down the wall by several soldiers, but he should not be dead. The armor on his chest saved his life.

Sarit put away the bow and nodded with satisfaction. This arrow was shot by him, destroying the enemy's command center in one fell swoop.

After dozens of fire bombs, Changfeng Castle was in chaos, and many buildings were on fire.

Sarit saw that the time was right, raised his sword and shouted: "Attack!"
