Zhao Hu looked at the soldiers around him. Under everyone's confusion, Zhao Hu suddenly kicked the side of one of the big boxes. The box immediately "touched" and was kicked into pieces. 3. The fastest

The property loaded inside rolled and jumped on the ground, crowded with each other and made waves of metal collision sounds, and the sparkling property that was trolling made everyone's eyes straight.

"I am very satisfied with your performance today. As I promised, these belong to you real warriors! All of you can receive a bounty of a gold coin, and those who are killed and injured can have an extra gold coin!"

Zhao Hu's words made the entire camp completely boil. A gold coin is the income of a farmer for twenty years. Under the high exploitation of the lord and the landlord, many farmers have never seen what a gold coin looks like in their lives. Seeing a silver coin is something worth boasting in the village.

These peasant militiamen didn't expect to get a gold coin bounty tonight. The originally low morale was suddenly extremely high, and everyone shouted excitedly, "Sir, you are the most generous person in the entire empire!"

A wounded soldier even covered his face and cried excitedly. The wounded soldier thought he had not received a high bounty, so he had to return to the village with his scars.

But now the lord's generosity is enough to propose marriage to the richest rich woman in the village, and even buy a large piece of land, become a leisurely little landlord, and live a comfortable life for the rest of your life.

"As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise that you will get more than you will get tonight!"

Zhao Hu was very satisfied with the excitement shown by the peasant militia now. The army was like a bloodthirsty wolf. It not only had sharp claws and teeth, but also had food-craving **. He wanted to train these ordinary farm names into real warriors who were eager to fight.

I believe that if an enemy appears in front of these peasant militias now, these peasant militias will definitely pounce on them and bite the enemy into pieces. Tomorrow, they will lead this army that is eager to fight to completely tear the Marquis of Cato.

Lord Liu Ming's castle is not very far from the Kato family's camp. When the sky was just bright, Zhao Hu was already able to see the low small stone castle belonging to Lord Liu Ming in the morning mist in the distant village.

The entire small castle is built on the low hilly slopes behind the village. The exterior wall of the castle is randomly piled up into a half-moon-shaped low stone wall about thirty meters wide and two meters high, with a half-moon-shaped gap in the middle.

The outer defense of the castle was so simple that there was not even a moat. It was just a circle of deep earth pits dug along the city wall outside the castle. Only a wooden watchtower was set up around the castle at the gate, and a wide long wooden board was hung to be used in deep trenches as a suspension bridge.

A long swallowtail flag without a clan emblem floated on the top of the castle. This is because the Lord is not among the ranks of noble titles of the imperial kingdom. It is just that the lord granted his subordinates or relatives the title, so he naturally does not have the right to embroider the unique clan emblem on the flag.

"Sir, the white tents on the right side of the castle should be the garrison of Marquis Cato. I heard that there is a large sheep farm in Marquis Cato's territory. These tents are sewn from sheepskin and will not leak even when it rains. But they are all good things, and one top can have three gold coins on the black market."

Hunter leader Monda excitedly pointed at the dozen white sheepskin-sewn leather tents surrounded by a circle outside the small stone castle, and looked at the tents as if he saw bulging money bags.

The battle last night gave each hunters a gold coin, and making so much money easily made the hunters excited. I just hope that their lord would fight a few more battles, so that they could bring their bags to their women and children to have a comfortable winter.

Originally, the hunter leader Monda was not optimistic about his employer's night attack, but he didn't expect that his employer was so magical. He just relied on 200 farmers who had just trained for a month and easily defeated the Marquis of Cato, known as the war vulture.

Especially after the war, Zhao Hu announced that he would distribute all the property robbed by Marquis Kato from the village to the soldiers, but also added an additional gold coin compensation for each of the three peasants who died in battle and the eight injured. This made all the peasant militia cheer and privately called his lord "the most generous person in the empire."

The trombone sound of "wow" came from the small castle in the distance. It seemed that Lord Liu Ming's plan to seek peace was not satisfactory. From a distance, he saw dozens of soldiers running out of the white tent in front of the castle, gathered behind the tent with the eagle-billed vulture flags on the top, slowly moving out a large pile of wood like an ant moving house, and actually began to build things.

"It's a small siege castle car! I didn't expect them to bring this!" As the things built gradually revealed the general outline, Starn, who had participated in the siege battle, whispered.

Starn's words made Zhao Hu's doubts suddenly cheerful. "After a long time of work, this cunning Marquis Cato had no sincerity in negotiating. This time, he came with a small siege castle cart, just to completely swallow up the restless "poor neighbor" around him.

Poor that my "fence-behind" father-in-law is just a lord, and he is not even a formal noble title. If he is really occupied by this cunning Marquis of Cato, no one will come forward to meddle in this nostalgic business.

"Ahhhh"

With the sharp friction of the machinery, a diamond-shaped stone found from the nearby soil slope was thrown into an arc by the newly formed small catapult cart, landing on the gravel exterior wall of the castle, smashing a piece of gravel.

A large stone weighing dozens of kilograms roared and rocked the front of the watchtower next to the trench. With the loud and violent impact, Mu Jian's body was smashed off the right half of the stone's sharp water chestnut. The wood inside the tower immediately splashed in all directions, like a firecracker thrown into the sky. Zhao Hu, who was ambushing in the distance, was secretly stumbled, and he didn't expect that this temporary catapult would be so fierce.

"There must be siegemen adjusting the catapult car below, otherwise it would not be so accurate." Starn, who participated in the formal siege battle, did not expect that this broken catapult car would be so accurate. It took more than an hour and after adjusting left and right for more than ten times, he accurately hit the target. In previous siege battles, there were many cases where he had been smashed for a day but did not hit the target.

"Siegeman?" This is the first time Zhao Hu heard this strange new term. Zhao Huguang heard the name of the name, which should be related to siege. Is there a special siege engineer in this world?

"It's just people who are responsible for and adjust siege weapons. These people are very precious. The entire empire has only been heard of in the emperor's army, but I didn't expect to find it here." Starn saw the puzzled look on Zhao Hu's face and quickly explained.

Starn's words made Zhao Hu happy. Zhao Hu had long discovered that even the smallest lord had to find ways to build a stone "home" for himself.

If you can have a "siegeman" in your hands, then these lords who like to hide in the "turtle shell" are their own money bags, and they will hit whoever they want!

Seeing that the obstacles in front had been cleared, the soldiers of the Marquis of Cato who were watching the excitement outside the castle raised the siege ladders tied up from the trunks that had been temporarily cut from nearby shouting forward. The first few soldiers used the long wooden boards in their hands to lay them on the deep ditch outside the castle, and the passage to the inside of the castle was already open.

"Sir, the castle should be about to be broken. Are we going to be ready to attack?" Seeing that more than a dozen heavily armored knights wearing vests had begun to slowly move towards the castle, the hunter leader Monda saw that the troops of Marquis Cato outside the castle all showed their fatal backs to him, and was so excited that he rubbed his hands.

That's all money. As long as the adults give their orders, Mengda thinks that he can definitely shoot through the enemy's neck with an arrow before he can turn around.

"A soldier has a silver coin, a knight has a gold coin, and a lord. Whoever catches me, I will reward him with a piece of land. Everyone is ready to throw it. Let's kick the butts of these Toka people!" Zhao Hu lowered his voice and shouted to the soldiers lying behind him. He had been staying in this bush for so long, and he was waiting for the moment when Marquis Cato's army broke through the castle.

As his bounty was thrown out, Zhao Hu could clearly feel that the breathing behind him had obviously stagnated for a while. When it sounded again, it became much dull, but the red eyes of the soldiers behind him exuded a hot desire.

At this time, Marquis Cato would never have thought that the camp behind him had been attacked by others, and the defenseless behind him was completely exposed to the "yellow bird" who was trying to get a bargain.

Zhao Hu buried his body and quickly advanced forward with the soldiers behind him. He kept hearing the "rustling" sound of grass and trees around him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he ran nearly a hundred meters in one breath. Marquis Cato's luxurious sheepskin tent was only ten meters away from him. The hunters following behind him had already begun to set their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy with their backs.
