Volume 2 The Iron Baron Chapter 133 The Battle of Nolandenburg (7)
Asedan led his men and marched quickly, and soon discovered the wooden fort with the open door next to the road. This outpost, which Mark had converted into a trading post, was unexpectedly abandoned by the defenders of Fort Nolanden. It was incredible.
After Asedan's men conducted reconnaissance and confirmed that there were no ambushes or dangers, Asedan looked at the distance from here to Nolandenburg Castle on the Wind and Cloud Summit, and decided to use this wooden fort as their offensive camp.
The reason is also very simple. Firstly, it is because it is very close to Fengyunding, which is convenient for rest and storage of supplies; secondly, because it is a certain distance from Fengyunding, it can have a certain buffer space when the castle defenders counterattack or sneak attack.
; Thirdly, although it is a wooden castle, it is still very strong, and the wooden exterior walls have been treated with fireproofing. These high and fireproof wooden walls can avoid night rocket attacks like last night.
As Asedan was so impressed by last night's night attack, he decided to adopt a strategy of steady advancement. After occupying the wooden castle, he asked his soldiers to prepare their siege equipment. Although it was said to be equipment, in fact
I'm sorry for the name of the siege equipment. They just spliced the short ladders they brought to form a long ladder. Then they demolished several houses in the wooden castle and used the thick beams of these houses as rams to hit the city gate.
.
After simple and intense preparations, the pirates made all preparations for their siege. During lunch time, they had a simple lunch in the wooden castle and prepared to launch the attack after taking a short rest.
Attack on Fort Norlandenburg.
On the Fort Norlandenburg side, Barrett, the leader of the Fort Norlandenburg Militia, and Gamlin, the Sheriff of Fort Norlandenburg, were drinking on the tower. Although they were not very confident in their hearts, they still pretended.
He looked indifferent and waited for the pirates to attack the city.
"Gamlin, why are you so confident that more than two hundred of us can defend the castle?" Barrett took a bite of the pickled pork and asked in a mumble.
Gamlin took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and replied: "Our Fort Nolandenburg is solid and solid, and the pirates have only one attack direction. Attack from the front along the road up the mountain. It is so easy to defend and difficult to attack. We resist
There is no problem in attacking with five to six hundred pirates.
Besides, the adults just asked us to stick to it for a week at most, so I think there should be no problem."
"Hahaha!" Barrett laughed a few times, and then said with emotion: "Many times, I admire the adults. He has such courage to do things at a young age, and sooner or later he will become something big."
Just as he and Gamlin were eating, drinking and talking here, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums ringing down the mountain, and the pirates were coming!
Barrett and Gamlin stood up and came to the battlements. They looked down and saw that at the foot of Fengyunding Mountain, the pirates had arrived. After checking Fengyunding for a week, they determined that there was no need to adopt an encirclement strategy, mainly because it was not necessary.
, there is only one broad road up the mountain, and the castle is surrounded by steep rock walls. The people inside will not be confused and jump down to attack them.
After this group of pirates came over, they did not launch a direct attack. Instead, they politely sent an envoy to talk with them under a white flag.
The messenger came to the city gate, stopped, and said in common language skillfully: "Believers of the God of the Sea, noble people protected by the God of Wind and the Goddess of the Sea, the loyalty of Count Elade of Toba Island
My subordinates, brave marine warriors, Wolf Lord Arthedain sent me here to ask you to immediately lay down your arms and surrender."
After hearing what he said, Barrett and Gamlin looked at each other in confusion, and the militiamen on the city had the same expression.
"Do you remember what the wild dog below just said?" Gamlin asked Barrett.
Barrett shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "I only remember that he asked us to surrender. As for those bullshit titles, I can't remember any of them, but I can play tricks on him."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Barrett turned around and said to the envoy: "The noble, the great, the supreme believer of Vulcan, the heroic warrior blessed by Vulcan, Baron Nolandenburg
The most loyal subordinate, the leader of the Norlandenburg militia, the best hunter on the south bank of the Carr River, and the most outstanding warrior in the battle to recapture Maple Leaf Manor, reject your proposal of surrender."
The pirate envoy was also confused when he heard this. He originally just wanted to use such a big name to cheer himself up and scare the Brick people at the same time. Unexpectedly, they also came up with a long list of names.
head, and directly rejected the surrender proposal.
So, the pirate envoy frowned and asked, "Is this person you just mentioned your lord? He's the one with such a long title."
Barrett shook his head and said in denial, "This person is me."
After the pirate messenger heard this, his nose was almost crooked with anger. This was because he didn't take himself seriously at all. He gritted his teeth and asked: "My patience is limited. Go and report it to your master quickly. Come and answer me quickly."
.”
When Gamlin next to Barrett heard this, he was a little angry. The little pirate in front of him was too arrogant, so he picked up his bow and shot an arrow, and yelled: "You idiot
You filthy wild dog, if you continue to be so arrogant, I will kill you!"
The arrow hit the cement floor in front of the pirate envoy, and the arrow scratched sparks on the ground, frightening the young pirate.
The pirate took two steps back with some fear, then raised his head and continued to say forcefully: "If you don't surrender, that's fine, but as long as you are willing to pay one million dinars for protection, we will not attack Nolandon."
Fort.
However, if you neither surrender nor pay the protection fee, we warriors from Toba Island will attack your castle, kill all the men, including you two, and make your women our slaves.
We had sex and burned down the castle."
After saying that, he glanced at Barrett provocatively. His provocative action caused him to receive an arrow in vain. After hearing what he said, Barrett picked up the strung crossbow of a soldier on the side and gave it to him.
He shot an arrow, but the arrow missed his vital point and only hit his shoulder, but it frightened him to death.
Seeing that the negotiation failed, the injured pirate ran down the mountain without looking back. He was full of hatred and wanted to explain to the wolf Lord Arthedain how these people went too far. After he broke into the castle,
He must kill the whole family of these two people.
Asedan and the other pirates saw the envoy they had sent back after being hit by an arrow, and they immediately became furious. It is a universal rule not to kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, but these despicable Brick people are actually like this
