- Roderny, who was worried about the situation of the war, immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter after receiving help from the Imperial Guards following behind.
Yes, with the help of the Imperial Guards, the threat that the defenders on the fourth floor can pose to themselves may be much smaller.
Roderny, who had seen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards, had a lot of confidence in this.
As for the defenders on the fourth floor, their morale has improved a lot because Saburo Toyotani joined with reinforcements.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
The defenders on the fourth floor let out loud cheers.
At the same time, it also gave some confidence to the third-level defenders who were still resisting, giving them a stronger will to fight.
The Portuguese soldiers who had originally captured the corridor in the watchtower passage were defeated by the outburst of defenders and returned to their position at the top of the stairs.
Fortunately, the Portuguese forwards were swordsmen wearing iron armor, so they did not cause many casualties.
Even so, more than a dozen Portuguese mercenaries were stabbed by the defenders' spears and seriously injured.
The injuries to more than a dozen people were considered a considerable casualty for a mercenary group of only 800 people in total.
So, when Roddelny got this report, his heart trembled.
"Order, let me continue to attack the city. We must seize the third layer of the city wall in the shortest possible time and kill all the enemies. As for the threats above, don't worry too much. The Song Empire's army is already following behind. Coming up, they promised me to help us solve the troubles above, as well as the city gates blocking our progress."
Because he received the promise from the commander of the Imperial Guard, Roderny was not so panicked here.
Although he felt sorry for the injuries to his men, they were mercenaries who were paid to sell their lives after all.
Therefore, when he received the report from his men, he did not say that he wanted to stop the attack. Instead, he continued to issue the order to attack, asking his men to seize the city head of the third layer of defense circle.
Roderny also knew very well that a brave man must be brave under a heavy reward, so after issuing this order, he immediately set out a reward condition.
"Give me the order to select members of the death squad and ask them to attack the enemy forces in the port channel. As long as they can successfully break through the enemy's defense, I will reward each of them with ten gold coins!!"
Roderney was also furious.
In fact, he counts each one himself whether there are ten gold coins in his pocket now.
However, if you want your subordinates to attack with more passion and combat effectiveness, you must provide such a condition.
Yes, for these Portuguese mercenaries, it is useless to shout any slogans. The most realistic thing is to use gold coins as rewards. These animals will definitely explode with power beyond all else.
After the price was announced, the surrounding mercenaries burst into cheers.
Soon, a guy wrapped tightly in European-style iron armor walked out on his own.
Then, they led a group of people and began to attack the Shiliang City defenders from the watchtower leading to the city head again.
This is a tin barrel that leads the charge. They have heavy weapons such as bracelet hammers, short-handled battle axes, and maces. At the same time, because their armors had high defensive power, when they entered the winding staircase on the watchtower platform and encountered the defenders on the third floor, they advanced instead of retreating and relied on their own strength to defeat the defenders step by step.
The defenders of Shiliang City have encountered enemies with animals like this before.
These enemies are covered in iron armor, just like monsters. Their weapons cannot cause any damage to the opponent at all. On the contrary, as long as the opponent's weapons fall on them, they will definitely die.
The mercenary holding a nail-headed awl fiercely waved the weapon in his hand and penetrated the Tianling Gai of a defender.
The white brain matter splashed out, mixed with blood and looked so disgusting.
The defenders thrust out the spears in their hands, but the spears hit the opponent's armor and immediately slid to the side. On the other hand, the enemy was not injured at all, and they took the opportunity to move forward a few steps, and then waved their hands. The heavy weapons were fired at several of his companions one after another, leaving those companions half dead.
The seriously injured defenders fell in the stairwell of the rotating corridor, although they had lost the battlePower, but their end was not good at all.
Portuguese mercenaries don¡¯t pay attention to human rights and laws of war. After all, this kind of thing doesn¡¯t exist in this era, right?
Therefore, the tin men who are in the vanguard will use their big feet to step on the faces of the enemies who are lying on the ground, or move forward on them.
And some other mercenaries following closely behind them will use their swords to completely eliminate these seriously injured unfortunates.
Under the heavy reward of ten gold coins, these animals have indeed exploded with fighting power beyond ordinary people.
???????? In addition, the Europeans themselves have very good physical fitness, so with such a hard attack, the Japanese are no match for them.
The defenders guarding the watchtower were routed by the sudden burst of mercenaries and retreated a considerable distance upwards.
These defenders were already helpless against the 'tin men' who were charging ahead.
The swords and spears in their hands cannot harm each other at all. How can the battle continue in this way?
In this way, the mercenaries quickly advanced upwards, defeating all the enemies in the watchtower, and completely occupied the watchtower.
At this point, the passage leading to the city has been completely controlled by the mercenaries.
Soldiers holding spears and halberds from the rear rushed up one after another and started a close combat with the enemies on the top of the city.
And the mercenaries who were acting as stormtroopers retreated again, and then found a safe place to rest.
Although they are very strong and physically fit.
However, wearing such a metal bucket is not an easy burden for them.
Besides, after experiencing such a fierce battle, they also need to take a good rest before they can continue to fight.
Of course, the most important thing is that they need to find Roderney and determine their reward.
Facing the ten men asking for rewards, Rodelny couldn't make any excuses.
After all, it was something he had promised himself.
If he dares to go back on his word, these people will dare to eat him alive.
??Although he is a viscount, in the eyes of these people, he is actually nothing.
Europeans these days would even dare to kill the emperor for money, let alone a little viscount.
¡°Everyone followed him to the East not because of his great personal charm, but because he came to the East to make money.
If you can¡¯t make money, then the Viscount¡¯s fate will also not be good.
This is why Viscount Roderney has been worried about this before he became a mercenary.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Zhao Hongyu, and in a hurry to promote himself, he became a cannon fodder mercenary.
¡°Otherwise, it won¡¯t take long for his subordinates to mutiny because they can¡¯t make money.
Therefore, Roderny, who had a deep understanding of this, immediately found the commander of the rear guard and asked him to borrow money.
Facing Viscount Rodelny who was borrowing money, the commander asked him why. He immediately asked Roddelny to sign an IOU, promising that he would wait until the fall of Shiliang Castle to get the money that belonged to him. After receiving a share of wealth, the loan will be exchanged for it, and an interest of 30 will be given to the commander.
Originally, this was considered usury, and it stands to reason that Viscount Roderney would not be satisfied.
However, what the genetic man commander did not expect was that Viscount Roderney was extremely satisfied with the interest, and even immediately urged the commander to sign the IOU.
Yes, the usury loans lent by the Jews in Europe are all doubled in interest.
Repaying one or two times the principal is nothing new.
And the commander of the Song Empire actually only asked for 30% interest. Roddelny felt that he was just lucky.
Therefore, in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, he immediately urged the other party to sign the IOU agreement, so that the other party would not regret it in the end.
How does this commander of the Imperial Guard know these things?
He just feels that with such a high interest rate, he is a little too dark from time to time.
But what was completely unexpected was that in Rodelny¡¯s eyes, he was simply an angel-like existence.
The benefits in the Imperial Army are very good, and the salary is also very high.
In addition, Zhao Hongyu pays his salary on a monthly basis.None of them have been in arrears. Therefore, this little imperial officer was very rich, even comparable to a small European lord.
He is fully capable of taking out one hundred gold coins, which is more than a thousand silver coins.
At the same time, because of these people, they have been going to sea with Zhao Hongyu since last year. For more than a year, they have basically been floating at sea, so they have no chance to use the salary they have received, and have given it to their adjutants for safekeeping.
At the same time, they also searched Osaka Castle for a while, so everyone was really rich.
It was very easy for Roderney to receive a hundred gold coins and handed them over to his subordinates who acted as death squads.
The commander of the gene man even felt that he would be really ashamed of himself if he did not continue with such a high-interest business.
So, he reminded Rodelney that if he still needs to borrow money, then come to him. He has a lot of money on hand and can definitely guarantee Rodelney's needs.
And he guaranteed that the interest would remain at 30.
I have to say that Roderney was really moved.
He immediately said that as long as the interest rate remained at this level, he would still come to borrow money.
¡°Anyway, after the Shiliang City is captured, Roderny will get his wealth, and the commander is still clear about this.
Therefore, he is not afraid that Rodelny will not change the money.
Even if Roddelny dies in battle, the commander will still have a way to get back the capital and interest.
At the same time, in order to ensure that he had enough money to lend, he actually united with the soldiers in his team to pool everyone's money.
This time, the commander had almost 10,000 gold coins in his hands.
Since everyone keeps their money in their hands anyway, there is nothing wrong with using it to add value and make some money.
The commander even released the news to all the Portuguese mercenaries, and let them know that if they need money in the future, they can come to him.
Huang Xiaoming, the commander of the Imperial Second Army, and his financial company are willing to provide small loans.
No one would have thought that the largest loan shark company in the Song Empire would be born from such an inconspicuous time.
Because of the support of the military, all borrowers dare not not pay back their money.
At the same time, when Wang Hu and Professor Liu learned about this company in the future, they also invested a lot of money into the company, and canceled the 30% interest limit and replaced it with compound interest.
Therefore, it has tricked a lot of people.
Furthermore, they also lend money to some countries. When these countries misbehave, the company will ask the empire to send troops to these countries.
It means that this loan shark company used this method to continuously give the Song Empire an honest excuse for its external expansion.
And this man with the same name as another time and space star is also fortunate enough to be included in the history books.
In future generations, when people outside the American continent mention this name, they will gnash their teeth with hatred.
Of course, what they hate even more is Viscount Roderney who caused the little butterfly to flutter its wings. If it hadn't been for his loan this time, there wouldn't have been so many things in the future, right?
However, no one in Shiliang City could have imagined that such an ordinary loan would lead to so many things in the future.
Even the people at the time did not see what the future would bring.
The current commander, Huang Xiaoming, just thinks that this thing can make money, and he can control it without losing money.
If that¡¯s the case, why doesn¡¯t he do it?
At the same time, he roped in the soldiers under his command. If someone dares not to pay back the money, they can show off to each other together.
¡°That¡¯s it, with the support of force and abundant funds, this deal can be done.
He can be regarded as finding a way to make money for his subordinates.
I believe that His Highness will not blame himself if he finds out.
However, it would be better to inform His Highness about this matter.
It goes without saying that these genetic people who have been cultivated are loyal to Zhao Hongyu.
They will never hide anything they have.
It is precisely with the support of these genetic people that Zhao Hongyu now dares to kill the Japanese."Line up! Upper right! Shoot!"
At this time, the imperial guardsmen of the empire had also begun shooting at the defenders on the fourth floor.
The third layer of defense circle has been basically conquered by mercenaries.
Now, they are about to launch an attack on the fourth layer of defense circle!
As for the fourth layer of defense circle, due to the arrival of Saburo Toyotani, it will not be so easy to capture it.
At the same time, the Iga ninjas also used their own special means to sneak into the fourth layer of defense circle of Shiliang City (To be continued.
