Standing in front of the castle, several soldiers came under the city again with white flags and shouted at the defenders on the city wall: “The merciful His Majesty King Lanyin is willing to give you one last chance, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender, you can avoid death! If you set things right and surrender to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will give each of you two hundred acres of arable land!”

“Think about it, whether to become a subject of the King of Lanyin or continue to die for this obsessive nobleman, I hope you make the right choice!”

After speaking, several soldiers returned to their camp.

On the city wall, after the defenders arrived to persuade them to surrender, many people began to waver.

Especially those conscripts, they usually didn’t get any favors from Baron Winton, and they didn’t take a word of his salary. There was no benefit. Now they have to sacrifice their lives to defend the city for him. It seems that it is indeed a bit uneconomical to throw away his life, and it is still stupid.

Some people looked at Baron Winton with strange eyes, as if they were thinking about something, but due to the existence of those regular troops, no one dared to stand up for the time being.

“Don’t believe their nonsense! That King Lanyin is cruel by nature, how could you have a good result in his hands! As long as you stick to the reinforcements, I will exempt you from taxes and rents for the next ten years!”

Baron Winton felt the change in the mentality of these people, and hurriedly made a promise to stabilize the morale of the army, ten years of taxes and rent, which is not a small amount, especially for these levies, the tax and rent add up to 80% of the year. All harvests are handed over.

If you get rid of it, you will not only no longer need to find things to fill your stomach from other places, but you can also save some savings.

But speaking of it, the promises made by King Lanyin are really a lot. They only plant more than ten acres of land in each family. That is a huge amount of property that they can’t save in eight hundred lifetimes!

The conscripts are in a dilemma, but the balance in their hearts has gradually tilted towards King Lanyin. In fact, in the face of so many enemy troops, as long as they can keep their names, they are already content, but if they win Baron Winton, That is affluent living for decades to come.

Whether to choose to fight stubbornly in order to reduce a little tax and rent, relying on the city wall to fight a hundred thousand troops, or to surrender after winning Baron Winton and gain the ownership of 200 acres of arable land, who knows what to choose.

As for the credibility of King Lanyin, to be honest, no one really worries about this aspect. The Kingdom of Lanyin has not been isolated from the outside world these years, but has traded frequently with the Northern Empire and the major chambers of commerce.

What kind of life people live there, and what kind of person Lan Yin Wang is, everyone knows a little bit from various channels.

Where, every family can get one or two hundred acres of land to cultivate, and they have long been envious of the happy trouble of having too much land to grow.

Even if there is no credit, a family can get so much land. If you capture Baron Wynton alive, it will be no small feat. What does it mean to divide 200 acres of land?

Now, the only reason why these conscripts did not immediately act is the existence of the regular army. These professional soldiers who have undergone training and have been crushed by their weapons and equipment are still quite deterrent, although the number is less than 200, but But it was able to deter more than 500 conscripts from daring to act rashly.

What they didn’t know was that the hearts of these regular soldiers were also entangled. These people were also full of fear for the boundless army outside the city. It was impossible for hundreds of people to resist tens of thousands of troops.

And even if they were regular soldiers and had a salary, they were quite eager for the 200 acres of arable land. Although their family was relatively well-off, they were only middle peasants. Taxes and rents were also indispensable.

If they can get 200 acres of land, they can still improve their living standards a lot, but the problem is that they are getting the salary paid by the Baron of Winton.

In addition to being able to fight, the most important thing in the army is absolute loyalty. As soldiers, they still have some loyalty to Baron Winton.

And this has become the biggest obstacle in their hearts. They want to save their lives and take the land, but they can’t make up their minds.

But soon, they don’t need to struggle anymore.

Because the sound of the trombone had already sounded under the city wall, the copper trombone made a harsh sound, urging the soldiers to attack the city wall in front of them.

Looking down from the city wall, a large group of warriors wearing heavy armor and armed to the teeth climbed the siege tower, and the archers took the elf longbow and arrows to the top platform of 13 meters. As for Melee soldiers with swords and shields and warhammers climbed on the ladder behind the siege tower.

After a while, the siege tower approached the city wall under the push of the soldiers at the bottom~www.mtlnovel.com~, you can climb the city wall through the solid long planks at ten meters, eight meters, and six meters.

And it is worth mentioning that these giant siege towers with a height of more than ten meters are prepared for large castle fortresses, and the wall of Fort Andonia is only seven meters high.

This means that the archers at the top have a height advantage instead, and can shoot the defenders from a high position. The height advantage brought by the city wall can be said to be gone.

With the sound of the trombone, there was a commotion on the city wall. It was one thing that the enemy was indifferent before, but when the terrifying army moved, the feeling of oppression like a mountain top made everyone tense.

“No… If we fight against such an army, we have absolutely no hope of surviving!”

“Then… what do you say?”

“Did it! Isn’t he a baron? We have so many people, and he only has so little army, and he won the fight!”

Baron Winton was also quite flustered in the face of this commotion, loudly ordering the soldiers under his command to suppress the movements of the conscripts, and to kill those soldiers who were unstable.

After receiving the order, the regular army was a little timid, and they were still hesitant before deciding whether to continue their allegiance, not to mention the large number of conscripts, even if they could not make it possible for everyone to unite and change. As a monolith, their numbers also have an advantage. At this time, no one is quite the early bird.

“Catch Baron Winton alive!”

I just heard a cry from the crowd, and then several people stood up and shouted loudly. This sound spread rapidly among the crowd like a plague, and soon spread to most of the conscripts group. The waves of the sea are generally continuous, resounding through the sky.
