Start as Inherited Baroness

"This letter is from Earl Bingol. Please pass it to Guardian Simon."

Bingol's fourth son looked relatively calm, and his emotions did not seem to be affected by the words. Instead, he took out a letter and handed it over.

Galente heard the words and signaled the brave guards beside him to take the letter.

After that, the first contact between the two sides ended, and the dozen people headed by the earl's son returned to the Flower Vine Castle.

And the letter they sent was quickly delivered to Simon.

Of course, this parchment letter has been inspected many times, and it was opened by the guards, so there was no risk of being poisoned.

After Simon read it, he threw it aside. Earl Bingol expressed his intention to surrender, but it was very insincere and there was no substantial contribution.

Just kneeling down with two mouths, just wishful thinking.

More than an hour later, the East Guard Corps and the South Guard Corps all reached the scheduled attack location.

They were divided into two parts, ready to attack from the north and south at the same time.

In addition, there is still one west gate left in Huateng Castle, which is not surrounded by soldiers, so it is a way out.

But it is not a real way out, because there are more than 2,000 armored cavalry ambushed a few miles away.

If you really dare to escape from here, you will die miserably.

In addition, Simon also arranged a thousand semi-armored cavalry and a thousand archers to patrol along the grain road, and work with the militia corps to ensure the safety of supplies.

There are only more than a thousand semi-armored cavalry guards around him, and thousands of infantry from the North Guard Corps.

"The main attack is at the south gate, and the feint attack is at the north gate. Once the attack begins, it is not allowed to stop, and it must be conquered in one fell swoop!

I will let the griffin knights do an air raid first, and once the city gate is opened, they will be dispatched immediately!

My brave and resolute personal army will be responsible for supervising the battle. Those who retreat will be killed regardless of their status!"

Before the battle, Simon summoned the legion commanders to issue a combat spirit, and then perfected some details, and everyone dispersed and returned to their own battles.

"Fire, blow the gate open!" More than 20 minutes later, Simon came to the bronze cannon not far away and ordered.

"Yes!" The guards immediately began to load the fuse and black gunpowder, and soon, the preparations were completed.

"Fire!"

"Boom!!!" The messenger gave an order, and then a loud noise spread across the sky.

A round lead bullet shot out from the muzzle and hit the south gate of Huateng Castle more accurately.

After a muffled sound, a cloud of dust was stirred up around the gate, and the left side was obviously sunken.

But this door was very tenacious and was not broken.

This was also within Simon's expectations. After all, the power of the old-fashioned cannon was not enough, so it was normal that it could not be blown open at once.

"Continue!" Simon instructed.

The guards responded and started to get busy. Soon after, another cannon sounded.

This time, the thick oak door was broken into pieces, and several larger fragments splashed to the back, knocking down several soldiers.

At the same time, two griffin knights also flew over the castle, dropping cans of flaming oil, aiming at the wall area.

This move was mainly to hit the morale of the other side's soldiers defending the city, and the killing effect was relatively limited.

However, there were still unlucky people who were unable to dodge and were splashed with flaming oil, making extremely tragic howls.

Simon wanted this kind of scream, and when the soldiers with a little less courage heard it, their hands and feet would immediately go limp.

The vanguard attack lasted for half an hour. Seeing that the time was ripe, Sarit drew his sword and shouted: "Attack the city!!"

Then, the flag signal soldiers waved the flags at a high altitude, and the next moment, the desolate horn sounded, which was the sign of the full-line attack.

"Attack!"

"Attack!!" The junior officers leading the team drew their swords and gave orders, and the shouts came from near and far.

"Kill!!" The soldiers began to charge around the siege equipment, each doing their own job in an orderly manner.

Since the south gate had been blown open, the battering ram was omitted, and a mixed team of a thousand people directly rushed towards the gate with shields raised.

Others pushed the baffle carts and siege towers and advanced slowly.

Behind them was a device similar to a well, more than ten meters high, where longbowmen were deployed to remotely suppress the defenders on the city wall.

"Quick! Shoot! Shoot! Ah!"

A knight on the top of the wall was raising his sword and shouting to command the soldiers.

The next moment, he was hit by several armor-piercing arrows, one of which hit his head, causing his shouting to stop abruptly.

This scene was staged several times within ten minutes.

Most of the longbowmen in the well were named on the panel, and they were all elite. They could hit the target with almost 100% accuracy, even if they didn't hit the target with 100% accuracy.

For a time, the defenders of Huateng Castle suffered heavy casualties, and most of them had never seen such a scene.

Originally, defending the city should have a great advantage, but facing so many large machines, it seems that it is not so advantageous...

"Quick! Transfer my guards to the South Gate! We must defend the gate!!"

Count Bingol looked to be in his forties and had a relatively strong body. At this time, his face turned pale and he shouted desperately on the watchtower.

He had originally hoped to defend for ten days and a half months, but once the city gate was broken, it was all over!

The thing that broke through the city gate was beyond his cognition.

"Could it be that the Holy Spirit appeared...Forgive me..."

Bingol slowly knelt on the floor, praying while watching the battle at the South Gate through the observation port.

There was a crowded scene there at this time, with thousands of soldiers from both sides fighting in a seven or eight meter wide passage.

But it was obvious that the enemy was more organized, while the defenders were hasty in the battle, with a chaotic formation and continuous defeat.

Bingol was also a commander who had experienced big scenes. He knew that if this continued, they would not be able to survive until the night fell.

The battle lasted more than half an hour in the blink of an eye.

Although the gate of the South Gate was wide open, the defenders mobilized heavy troops to defend it. At this time, the fighting was fierce and no breakthrough had been made.

However, the main attack on the South Gate was frustrated, but the soldiers on the north side attacked the city wall and gradually gained a foothold.

There were only 4,700 to 4,800 troops in Huateng Fort. There were more troops arranged at the South Gate, so there were naturally fewer troops at the North Gate.

But the East Guard Army attacking the North Gate was also 5,000 strong. The defenders were naturally outnumbered, and the feint attack became the main attack.

Sarit also keenly discovered this phenomenon and immediately ordered: "Let the Southern Guard Corps send out 3,000 people to attack the North Gate!"

The military order was passed down soon, and the huge Southern Guard Army climbed up the siege tower and large ladders at the North Gate...

"My Lord Earl! The North Gate has been occupied by the enemy! We can't hold on any longer, retreat quickly!!"

A bloody knight climbed up the watchtower and knelt in front of Bingol and shouted.

"Retreat!! The Horen family! I will definitely destroy you!!!" Bingol gritted his teeth, looked to the west, and said hatefully.

With his family background, it is not impossible to make a comeback. In the River Bend, they are also a well-known Earl family.

"My Lord! Did you set the granary on fire?" asked the Bloody Knight.

Bingol hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and took out a parchment letter from his bosom and handed it to him, saying: "Put this letter in the granary."

"Yes!"

......

Seven or eight minutes later, dozens of riders rushed out of the west gate and went far away.

They did not bring their families or any baggage.
