Rodelney, who was worried about the situation of the war, received the help of the Imperial Guards following behind, and immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.

Yes, with the help of the Imperial Guards, I think the threats the defenders on the fourth level could pose to themselves may be much smaller.

Only a few, Rodelney, who has seen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards, has a lot of confidence in this.

The defenders on the fourth floor, because the joining of Toyotani Saburo with reinforcements, suddenly increased their morale a lot.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The fourth-level defenders made a loud cheer.

At the same time, it also brought some confidence to the third-level defenders who were still resisting, allowing them to burst out with stronger fighting will.

The Portuguese soldiers who had already captured the corridor in the guardhouse passage were defeated by the outbreak of defenders and returned to the stairs.

Fortunately, the Portuguese vanguards were swordsmen wearing iron armor in the queue, so there was no major casualties.

Even so, more than a dozen Portuguese mercenaries were stabbed by the spears of the defenders and were seriously injured.

The damage to more than a dozen people was a considerable casualty for a mercenary group with a total of only 800 people.

So, when Rodelney received this report, his heart trembled.

"Order, continue to attack the city head. We must seize the third wall in the shortest time and kill all the enemies. As for the threats above, don't worry too much. The army of the Song Empire has come after us. They promised me to solve the troubles above us and the pass gates that block our advance."

Because he received the promise from the commander of the Imperial Guards, Rodelney was not so panicked here.

Although he felt sorry for his injuries, who made them mercenaries who worked hard for money after all?

Therefore, when he received the report from his subordinates, he did not say that he wanted the attack to stop. Instead, he continued to issue an attack order, so that his subordinates must seize the city of the third level of the defense circle.

Rodelney was also very clear that there must be a brave man under heavy rewards, so after giving this order, he immediately issued a reward condition.

"Tell me the order to select the members of the suicide squad and let them attack the enemy troops in the port passage. As long as they can successfully break through the enemy's defense, I will reward each of them with ten gold coins!!"

Rodelney was also angry.

In fact, whether there are ten gold coins in his pocket now, he counts each of them himself.

However, if you want to make their attack more passionate and combat-effective, you must give such conditions.

Yes, for these Portuguese mercenaries, it is useless to shout any slogan. The most realistic thing is to use gold coins as a reward, and these animals will definitely burst out with power beyond everything.

After offering this price, the mercenaries around them did burst into cheers.

Soon, a guy wearing European-style iron armor wrapped himself out, walked out by himself.

Then, they led a group of people to start again attacking the guardhouse leading to the Shiliang City defenders at the city.

This is a leading iron bucket, with their bracelets, short-handled battle axes, and other heavy weapons. At the same time, because their armor has high defense, when they enter the guard platform and meet the third floor of the defenders, they do not retreat but advance but rely on their own strength to defeat the defenders step by step.

The defenders of Shiliang City have encountered enemies of such animals there.

These enemies are covered with iron armor, just like a monster. Their weapons cannot cause any damage to the other party. On the contrary, as long as the opponent's weapons fall on them, they will definitely die.

The mercenary holding a nail-head cone waved his weapons hard and penetrated a defender's sky spirit cover.

The white brain splattered out, mixed with blood, which seemed so disgusting.

The defenders stabbed the spear in their hands, but the spear slid to the side immediately after the armor was stabbed by the other party. On the other hand, the enemy was not injured at all, and they took the opportunity to move forward a few steps, then waved the heavy weapons in their hands, and greeted them on several of their companions, causing them to die.

The seriously injured defenders fell in the stairwell of the rotating corridor. Although they had lost their combat effectiveness, their fate was not very good at all.

The mercenaries in Portugal don’t pay attention to human rights and war laws. After all, there is no such thing in this era, right?

Therefore, the iron men who play the striker will use their big feet to step on the faces of these enemies who are lying on the ground, or move forward.

The other mercenaries who followed closely behind them would use the swords in their hands to completely solve these seriously injured unlucky guys.

With the heavy reward of ten gold coins, these animals did burst out with combat power that surpassed ordinary people.

In addition, Europeans themselves hate their good physical fitness, so after they fought hard, the Japanese were no longer the opponent.

The defenders guarding the guardhouse were defeated by the sudden outbreak of mercenaries and retreated a lot of distance.

These defenders were already helpless against the "tinned men" who were charging forward.

The swords and spears in their hands were unable to hurt each other at all. How could the battle continue?

In this way, the mercenaries quickly advanced upward, defeating all the enemies in the guardhouse, completely occupying the guardhouse.

At this point, the passage to the city has been completely controlled by the mercenaries.

The soldiers in the rear holding spears and halberds rushed up one after another and fought close-range battles with the enemies on the top of the city.

And the mercenaries who were responsible for the charge suicide squad retreated again and found a safe place to start resting.

Although they are very strong and have good physical fitness.

However, wearing such a pair of iron buckets is not easy for them to bear.

Besides, after experiencing such a fierce battle, they also need to take a good rest before they can continue to engage in the battle.

Of course, most importantly, they need to find Rodelney and determine their rewards.

Faced with the ten subordinates who were asking for rewards, Rodelney could not argue anything.

After all, it was something he promised in person.

If he dares to repent, these people will dare to eat him alive.

Although he is a viscount, in the eyes of these people, he is actually just a bullshit.

These days, Europeans dared to kill the emperor for money, let alone a small viscount.

Everyone followed him to the East, not because of his great personal charm, but because they came to the East to make money.

If you can't make money, then Lord Viscount's fate will not be good either.

This is also why Viscount Rodelney was worried about it before he became a mercenary.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Zhao Hongyu, and he rushed to promote himself to become a cannon fodder mercenary.

Otherwise, it won’t take long, because his subordinates will have mutiny because they can’t make money.

Therefore, Rodelney, who had a deep understanding of this, immediately found the commander of the Imperial Guard in the rear and asked him to borrow money.

Facing Viscount Rodelney who borrowed money, the commander asked Rodelney to sign a loan note after he asked Viscount Rodelney to promise that when Shiliang City fell and got his wealth, he would exchange the loan and also give the commander 30 interest.

Originally, this was considered usury, but Viscount Rodelney should not be satisfied.

However, what the commander of the genetic human was unexpected was that Viscount Rodelney was extremely satisfied with the interest rate, and he even immediately urged the commander to sign the loan note.

Yes, the usury released by the Jews in Europe was doubled.

Repayment with twice the cost is nothing new.

And the commander of the Song Empire only demanded 30 interest, and Rodelney felt that he was just lucky.

Therefore, in order to avoid the long nights and long dreams, he immediately urged the other party to sign the loan notice agreement, and the other party finally repent.

How could this commander of the Imperial Guard know about these things?

He just felt that with such high interest rates, he was a little too dark from time to time.

But what was completely unexpected was that in Rodelney's view, 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 paid monthly salary and never owed it. Therefore, this little officer of the empire was very rich, even comparable to a little lord from Europe.

He has the ability to take out one hundred gold coins, that is, more than one thousand silver coins.

At the same time, because of these people, they have followed Zhao Hongyu to sea since last year. For more than a year, they have basically been floating on the sea, so they have no chance to use the salary they have paid and have all handed it to their adjutant for safekeeping.

At the same time, they searched for a while in Osaka Castle, so they were really rich.

It was easy, Rodelney received a hundred gold coins and handed them over to his subordinates who acted as the suicide squad.

The commander of the genetic person even felt that if he didn't continue to do such a high interest business, he would be ashamed of himself.

Therefore, he reminded Rodelney that if he still needs to borrow money, he would come to him. He has a lot of money on hand, which can definitely guarantee Rodelney's needs.

And he promised that the interest rate would be maintained at 30.

I have to say that Rodelney was really impressed.

He immediately stated that as long as the interest rate remains at this level, he will still borrow money.

Anyway, after conquering Shiliang City, Rodelney will get his wealth, and he is still clear about these commanders.

Therefore, he was not afraid that Rodelney would not exchange money.

Even if Rodelney died in battle, the commander still had a way to get the capital and interest.

At the same time, in order to ensure that he had enough money to lend, he even joined forces with the soldiers of his team to concentrate everyone's money.

In a moment, the commander had almost ten thousand gold coins in his hands.

Anyway, everyone keeps their money in their hands, so there is nothing wrong with using it to add value to make some money.

The commander even released the news, allowing all the Portuguese mercenaries to understand and let them know that if they need money in the future, they will come to him.

Huang Xiaoming, commander of the Second Imperial Corps, was willing to provide micro-loans.
