Chapter 39: Battle to Recover Maple Leaf Manor (5) Part 1
After catching these people, Balian ordered Eomer to report to Viscount Merry, and Viscount Merry directly signed the beheading order. He also deeply hated these people who were not good at fighting and were good at eating, drinking and having fun.
After receiving the beheading order signed by Viscount Merry, Balian gathered everyone together. Under the witness of everyone, he directly chopped off the heads of the seven people and hung their heads on the wooden poles in the camp.
To serve as a warning.
As soon as he took office, he killed seven people, and one was a knight's squire. Balian was so decisive and cruel, which shocked the other leading knights and county soldiers. Although these people did this to Balian
I was very angry, but now I only dared to mutter and curse a few times in my heart, but I didn't dare to have any more doubts about Balian's orders openly.
Before the war begins tomorrow, using severe punishments to frighten these arrogant warriors is one of Balian's strategies. Having been a man for two generations, Balian has a profound understanding of the truth, that is, he must be cautious when doing things cautiously.
, but you must not lose face when it’s your turn to be a bastard.
At this time, you are merciful. When you lose power, they will never be merciful to you when they add insult to injury. It is precisely for this reason that Balian dared to make up his mind to kill seven people, including a knight squire.
, after all, for many people, only bright red blood can impress them.
That night, everyone in the camp, except for Balian and the soldiers from Fort Noland, went to bed with uneasiness, anxious about tomorrow's war, and afraid of the bloody methods of the new commander.
The next day, Balian led a large group of troops and still chose to concentrate his forces to break through the gate of Maple Leaf Manor from the front. At first, Balian concentrated all the archers to suppress the tow pirates on the wall of the manor. Although these archers were not very accurate, they
Just let the pirates who can shoot accurately have less chance to shoot arrows.
Then, Balian asked Eomer to lead a group of soldiers to carry large wooden boards covered with wet felt cloth to the gate of Maple Leaf Manor. They did not hit or chop down the city gate, but filled many boxes with unknown materials.
The leather bag of the famous liquid was hung on the gate, and two large wooden barrels filled with the same liquid were placed under the towers on both sides of the gate of Maple Leaf Manor. After doing this, Eomer and his men hurriedly retreated against the wooden board.
Standing on the city wall, Ham, the leader of the Tuba pirates, looked puzzled and said to the other leader next to him: "Fast, what do you think they are doing?"
The pirate leader named Fast thought for a while and replied: "Brother Ham, I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I don’t know what these Brick Dogs are up to, but whatever they do, we must stop something. I will take people to smash these things now and see what’s inside.”
"Okay, I'll give you a hard time!" Ham nodded to express his approval of his idea, "By the way, bring a few more shield bearers and pay attention to safety. Although these Brick dogs are not good at archery, they can shoot really intensively.
." Fast smiled and led the people down.
As for the Brik people, Balian waited for Eomer to return and immediately ordered all the archers to prepare to fire rockets. The infantrymen carried braziers to the archers, and the archers put on the arrows and wrapped them with water under them.
After the greased cotton cloth was ignited, the archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and at Balian's order they all shot towards the gate of Maple Leaf Manor.
At this time, the pirate leader Fast and eight pirates had just arrived at the gate. They were about to open the gate and take off all the leather bags. Fast and the others first stepped into a small puddle on the ground, and then listened.
There was the sound of water dripping to the ground, and then suddenly I smelled the smell of grease.
Fast, who had been in battle for a long time, suddenly had an ominous premonition. He knew that what he stepped on just now was not water, but oil! Suddenly, he understood what the Brick people were paying attention to, and he shouted: "
Run, brothers! Brick the Dog is going to set the door on fire!"
But his throat just shouted, only hearing the 嗖 嗖, popping, dozens of rockets shot to the door and near the gate, a considerable part of the leather bags filled with fat, which instantly ignited these skin leather.
At the same time as the bag was opened, the burning grease flowed out, like flaming snakes, igniting other leather bags, and the door of Maple Leaf Manor instantly caught fire.
Before Fast and others had time to run, their clothes were burned by the fire. The fire spread from outside the door and quickly followed the traces of grease, starting from the soles of their feet and igniting their entire bodies.
Just as they were beating the flames on their bodies in the city gate, the second and third rounds of rockets came one after another. These two rounds of rockets directly ignited the remaining leather bags and two oil barrels, and a raging fire burned.
Quickly, the two oil barrels exploded during the burning process. Naturally, it was either like the explosion of dynamite, or it was a blast. The flames shot up into the sky and directly penetrated the towers on both sides of the gate. These two towers and the pirates inside were all
lit.
As the two oil barrels exploded, the entire gatehouse of Maple Leaf Manor was engulfed in raging fire. Before Fast and the other eight pirates had time to escape, they were ignited by the grease splashed on them and burned into a larger fire.
The human-shaped torch of the number, together with the pirates on the towers on both sides and the gatehouse
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Died in flames amidst screams.
Seeing the miserable state of the pirates and the fact that the gate of Maple Leaf Manor was swaying and about to collapse while burning, the Brick soldiers present waved their weapons and shouted. They knew that without the gate of the manor, the remaining pirates would be even more powerful.
, will also be chopped into pieces by them.
Viscount Merri also swept away the gloom and clenched his fists excitedly as he looked at the burning Maple Leaf Manor. He knew that Maple Leaf Manor would definitely be taken down today.
When Balian broke into the caravan camp with the army yesterday to look for soldiers who had stayed away at night, he found that there was a lot of oil on the carriages of two merchants. Seeing this, Balian thought of a good way to break through the city gate, and he committed suicide
I dug into my pocket and bought all the oil.
The total cost is only three hundred dinars. This three hundred dinars fee can at least prevent fifty Brick soldiers from dying under the pirates' bows and arrows, and also cost about twenty pirates their lives.
The value for money on this deal is simply fantastic.
Seeing that the gatehouse of Maple Leaf Manor would have to burn for a while before it collapsed, Balian asked three knight attendants to each lead twenty county soldiers to guard the other three walls. If they saw any pirates escaping, they would immediately shoot or capture them.
You can't let one go.
At the same time, Balian also took into account the weak combat effectiveness of the county soldiers, and arranged for two trainee knights to lead five heavy infantry for mobile support. Balian was determined to annihilate the Toba pirates who had gone deep into the interior and occupied the stronghold.
.
Amidst the crackling sound of burning wood, Maple Leaf Manor's gate tower and the towers on both sides collapsed, and part of the wooden walls on both sides fell down. At this time, Maple Leaf Manor was a delicious piece of fat. Everyone, please lead me.
The knights could no longer suppress their eagerness. They knew that as long as they rushed in and eliminated the remaining twenty pirates, they could plunder the wealth in Maple Leaf Manor as much as they wanted, as long as they gave Viscount Merri a sufficient share to pay for the transaction.
Balian couldn't help but sneer secretly when he looked at these guys who could only fight with the wind. However, since he was not yet powerful, he had better not make too many enemies and let them grab it.
After thinking about this, Balian, who was riding on a horse, pulled out his sword and galloped in front of the formation, shouting as he ran: "Warriors of Brick, in the past three days, we have
Too much blood has been shed in front of this manor. Today, let us wave the axes and swords in our hands and use the blood of the wild dogs to pay tribute to the brothers who died in the battle. Kill! Kill! Kill!"
