Start as Inherited Baroness

"Those guys are starting to panic. Don't pay attention. We will go out tomorrow!"

After Simon heard all the contents of the letter, he ordered with a joking smile.

Hearing this, Tu Li respectfully claimed that it was true and left immediately.

Later, Simon went to visit Winnis and a group of lovers.

Now her belly is round again and she is pregnant with her fourth child.

This pregnancy was a girl. Simon didn't know what was going on, but he naturally sensed it.

He was not aware of the previous births, and it was probably related to his divine skills.

The next day, the six legions were mobilized and gathered near several towns around Brave City.

There are 17,500 people in one legion, which makes a total of 100,000 troops. It is too bulky to walk together, so it is divided into three groups: front, middle and rear.

The center army was led by Simon and the Valiant Guards were personally in charge, the front army was commanded by Sarit, and the rear army was commanded by Kairaf.

Among them, the rear route army, together with the 20,000 militiamen recruited, were responsible for the transportation of grain and grass and maintaining the smooth flow of grain roads.

After Simon summoned the army commanders to divide the work, he reviewed the army and announced the expedition.

The mighty army then embarked on a journey to the north.

This time he used more than 100,000 troops. Naturally, he would not be satisfied with just capturing Earl Dilit, but wanted to unify Sisse.

Marquis Val has left, taking with him nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. This goal is not difficult for Simon.

Dazzling is more than twenty days later.

They arrived at the central area of ​​Earl Dilit's rule, Hebei Castle in Hebei Territory.

Four legions surrounded him from four directions and set up military camps.

In addition, three baron's castles were accidentally pulled up on the way.

The castles built by these three guys are very shoddy. Except for the main castle, they are all made of rammed mud. I am afraid that if the rain is heavy, it will be destroyed.

“My lord, this Hebei Fort looks like it has just been fortified not long ago.

Moreover, all the food in the surrounding villages was confiscated and transported to the castle.

It seems that Count Dilit wants to hold on. "Salit found Simon and reported.

"How high is the city?" Simon nodded slightly and asked calmly.

Sarit replied: "Visually it is fifteen meters, and there is a moat eight meters wide."

"I will send someone to open the city gate. As for other engineering equipment, hurry up and make and assemble it." Simon said with a smile.

"Yes! Sir!"

Sarit immediately thought of the kind of bronze cylinder that could make a loud noise, responded respectfully, and then went to do his work.

Simon took out the bronze cannon from the storage column in the big tent, and then asked the Valiant Guard's cronies to push the cannon out.

It is better to use this thing to save trouble, otherwise it will take at least half a month and twenty days to capture the Hebei Fort by relying solely on cold weapons.

If the morale of the defenders in the castle is high and the commander is good at defending the city, it is very possible that they will not be able to capture it in half a year.

But with artillery, capturing this fort is a sure thing.

Simon and the others rested all night and at around eight o'clock the next day, after the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they prepared to attack the city.

At this time, all kinds of siege equipment were completed and arranged neatly, with murderous intent.

Count Dilit was watching from the watchtower of the castle. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.

If other earls can come to help, he can still be saved if he persists for a month.

But if those earls were half-hearted and fearful of death, he would be doomed. Except for the heirs who were sent away in advance, all the family members who stayed in the city would die.

"Oh, after more than eighty years, I have worked hard to build this land and obtain the title of earl. How can I be willing to give it up to others!

Come and get Simon! Let me see what you are like! "

Baron Dilit's eyes changed from hesitant to firm and sharp, determined to fight.

He was not without any leverage. Not to mention the reinforcements that the nobles might send, there were more than 15,000 soldiers in Hebei City alone.

Moreover, the food is relatively sufficient, which can last for eight months. No matter how you look at it, you can hold on for a while.

However, more than 7,000 of them were conscripted militiamen who had only undergone brief training and had poor combat effectiveness, which looked strangely bluffing.

boom! ! !

boom! ! !

Count Dilit was startled by the sudden loud sound and hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.

"What is that??!" he thought in surprise.

boom! ! !

Another loud noise shook the sky and the earth, followed by the sound of broken boards spreading throughout the area, and the South City Gate was shattered.

Even a dozen soldiers guarding the city gate were killed by lead bullets.

"What's going on!?" Dilit's expression changed and he yelled.

"Lord Earl! It seems that the south city gate was broken open. I don't know why...

The Horren family's army has mastered a mysterious siege weapon..."

A knight in full armor went to understand the situation and came back to report.

"What!!?" Count Dilit's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt dizzy, causing him to sway from side to side a few times.

"Sir!" Several trusted knights immediately ran over to support him.

"It's over!! It's over!! Wuwuwu..." Dilit cried loudly, tears streaming down his face.

The trusted knights could not help but feel sad, and they all said firmly: "We are willing to live or die with you!"

...

"Ask Sarit not to attack the city first, and send the gryphon knights to deliver the surrender letter.

It is best to fight without losing blood. Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Gallente immediately went to prepare.

After a while, a griffin knight came to the top of Hebei City, dropped a parchment letter wrapped in stones, and then left...

"My Lord Earl, the enemy army dropped a letter with a griffin, which said it was written by Simon the Guardian."

Soon, a knight picked up the letter and sent it to Delit.

Beside him was a medium-level wizard, who immediately cast a spell to detect poisons to test the letter. After it was confirmed, he handed it over.

Delit immediately opened the letter and read it carefully, sighing: "Alas, where there is life, there is hope, and there is always a time to take revenge.

Let this place go to Simon, and we will take the more than 5,000 Hewan soldiers to the king's territory, let's go!"

"Yes! Swear to follow you to death!" The knights saluted solemnly.

"Go get pen and paper, I'll write a reply.

Also hang a white flag on the top of the city.

Chopper, take people to collect food and valuables." Delit ordered.

......

More than half an hour later, Simon received a reply from Delit.

This man did not want to surrender, and naively asked Simon to allow him to lead his army to leave.

"Too naive, the people here are not vigilant, are they stupid!?

My letter clearly meant that there was only one way to surrender, but you dared to add conditions? Can't you tell the good from the bad?? Am I too tactful...

I have more than 6,000 cavalry here, how dare he take the infantry away..."

Simon was a little puzzled. Isn't Delit afraid of being rushed by the cavalry? There are endless plains within a radius of more than 100 miles.

If he lets a soldier run away, he can hang himself, so what is the point of fighting for supremacy?
