Chapter 270
Kevin stayed up almost all night. He was constantly wrestling with whether to run away or stay with everyone to fight against the lord's army.
In the end, he decided to stay and advance and retreat together with everyone.
Kevin is almost certain that the Lord's Mansion will send troops to suppress them. It is just a matter of time.
After everyone agreed to start "negotiations" with the lord yesterday, although they were quite confident in their own strength, they also knew that the next struggle would not be that easy.
In order to give themselves a greater advantage, they stationed themselves in the village of Fabe, because there were no decent defensive buildings in their own village, and the fortresses used to resist the pirates were demolished after the pirates were destroyed.
The only defensive building they can find now is the Baden family's mansion, which is simply a small castle.
In order to prevent their relatives who were still at home from being implicated, they sent people back to the village overnight to notify them, asking those left behind to hide in nearby forests or cliff caves by the sea for a few days, before the new lord took over. When the village learned that pirates were coming, that's what they did.
The smell of barbecue came from below the tower, and the yard began to be filled with laughter and laughter. After Baden ran away, his cattle, sheep and other livestock were naturally taken over by the villagers, so Dundun slaughtered the pigs. Sheep is a feast for the people who cannot eat meat more than once a year.
But Kevin didn't have any appetite. He always felt that something bad would happen soon.
At daybreak, he took the initiative to take over the duty of guarding and stayed at the highest point of the tower without coming down. It was not until someone came up to bring him bread that he hurriedly took a few bites.
With nearly a thousand people gathered, they should...maybe...have some chance of winning? Kevin self-hypnotized more than once. Since he decided to stay and advance and retreat with everyone, he had to give himself some hope.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, what Kevin was worried about finally happened, and a team appeared in his field of vision.
He almost immediately determined that this was the lord's army. Kevin, who often ran to Port Fulan, had seen the sailors' drills, tight formations, and uniform steps. Without long-term training, it would be absolutely impossible. Get out of this effect.
“Dang Dang Dang!”
Kevin immediately rang the bell on the tower, which was the alarm signal agreed upon by everyone.
The constantly reverberating bells immediately caused chaos in the yard. Although the villagers were mentally prepared to confront the lord's army, when the incident came to an end, fear still gripped them tightly. into their hearts.
"Don't panic, stay in your positions!"
"Hold your weapons and stay calm!"
"We are strong, we are invincible!"< br>
The "commanders" who were hastily selected last night continued to encourage their subordinates, although they were also drumming in their hearts.
After a long period of turmoil, the whole yard became slightly quieter. Everyone stood on the wall and watched the troops outside in silence.
At this time, the opponent had formed a neat line facing the gate of the mansion.
......
"Master Knight, you must make the decision for us."
"Hang those thugs and help us get our property back."
Several wealthy households in Fabe Village surrounded Quick and cried to him with snot and tears.
What Kevin and his gang of outsiders did inspired some bold locals in Fabe Village, but they could only make mistakes after entering the Baden mansion. Once people's emotions are aroused, it will be difficult to calm down. These unsatisfied people turned to other wealthy households in the village.
Fearing retaliation, these fishermen now also join the resistance team in the mansion.
“Okay everyone, the lord will definitely give you a fair decision.”
Quick asked people to "invite" these wealthy households away. Then let the soldiers with loud voices hold up their trumpets and shout to the people on the wall: "This is an ultimatum from the Lord's Mansion. The people inside immediately put down their weapons and surrender, and accept the trial of the Lord, otherwise we will deal with you the same way we deal with the enemy." !”
The man on the wall responded: “We want to talk to the lord, and there are some conditions that we hope he can agree to.”
What? These gangs of rioters still want to negotiate terms with the Lord's Mansion?
Several naval officers were happy.
"We repeat it again, surrender immediately and unconditionally!"
"We will not leave here until the lord agrees to us. Please send someone who can talk to us to come in and talk to us. We promise not to harm him. "
Captain Quik frowned and remained silent, remembering his life creed when he was a pirate.
Seeing the captain wandering away, the first mate coughed loudly and said: "Captain, the rebels have rejected the ultimatum, we can attack. The soldiers are ready, and no ambush was found after investigation. ."
"Oh!"
Quick came back to his senses, and then he shouted as if he had made up his mind: "Attack!"
The navy soldiers lined up in a row and walked towards the wall of the Baden family. They also carried ladders to easily climb the two-meter-high courtyard wall.
This also includes Kevin Alfred and others who are midshipmen in the Navy. The superiors feel that it is time for these kids to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. It is a good idea to suppress the rioters with low combat effectiveness. Chance.
"Why don't you surrender? Why don't you surrender?"
Although the steps are firm, the young candidate is tangled in his heart at the moment. Allen himself was born in a salt family. , so compared to the statement that the salt people were resisting taxes and revolting, he believed that these people were being exploited by the landlords and had to fight.
Having been exposed to salt cooking since childhood, he naturally knew how much impact the emergence of salt farms would have on the traditional salt cooking industry.
But the obedience trained over a long period of time made him still choose to follow the order and attack the salt people.
The people on the wall suddenly became confused when they saw that the army ignored their requests and came towards them in an offensive posture.
"Why are you panicking? Didn't you see that they only have 100 people? Our number is several times theirs."
The "commanders" reminded their companions loudly.
"Hit them with slings!"
"Hit them with swords!"
......
Sparse stones were fired at the naval soldiers, hitting many of them. trick.
The officers were very sorry. If they hadn't wanted to get to the scene of the riot as quickly as possible, they would have brought artillery over. It didn't take too many, just a few cannons to destroy the broken wall in front.
"Spread out and run forward!"
The opposite side is just a group of rabble, keeping a tight formation.
The hit rate of the sling suddenly dropped to almost zero. The sailors ran and quickly approached the courtyard wall. The soldiers who arrived first fired a row of guns so that the people on the wall did not dare to come forward. The people behind lit grenades and fired at them. Throwing it into the courtyard, after explosions and screams came from inside, the sailors climbed up the wall in a stacking style without waiting for the ladder to arrive.
The battle ended soon...
