Release that Witch Chapter 197: Ready to meet the enemy
Roland learned that a squadron was approaching the next morning, and that Lightning's routine patrol found this slow-moving team.
"What, more than a thousand people?" He startled, didn't he say that a good group of fifty envoy?
"Yeah," Macy added, "but there are not many riding horses, only six!"
"The people who walk ... what do they wear and weapon?"
"Most common, most people don't have armor, just ordinary linen clothes," said Lightning. "weapon is also various, but hundreds of people have short spears behind them."
Are such terrible equipment levels all forced civilians or serfs? Roland wondered puzzledly that there was no special training for militia in this era. To put it plainly, it is responsible for moving grain and heavy logistic teams for Knight troops, and sometimes it can also be used as cannon fodder and consume enemy arrows.
If Timothy wants to solve itself with military force, impossible does not understand the battle that erupted between Longsong Stronghold and Border Town. More than two hundred Knights of the Duke Ryan coalition failed to touch the edge of small town, not to mention this group of militia running on two legs. Knowing that the fighting process and results will march to small town, they can only say that they are confident to break through the dense rifle line.
Roland couldn't help thinking of Church's pills.
He had previously guessed whether Church supports Timothy while supporting itself and Garcia. If these people have pills, situation will be completely different.
It can make humans run close to horses in a short period of time without fear of injury. In other words, the rifle line will face the impact of more than a thousand Knight. As long as one person rushes into the team, they will Bring casualties to First Army.
Fortunately, First Army is no longer an army more than two months ago.
Although revolving rifle has only been reloaded for more than a hundred, the density of firepower has been far exceeded that of the flintlock unit, especially after the shooter is equipped with a special loader, the enemy who enters within 300 meters will encounter Continuous attacks. The artillery team was also expanded after the stronghold war. From the original four groups to the current twenty groups, each group was equipped with a twelve-pound field artillery modification, which increased the diameter and increased the effective range to kilometers. the above.
But Roland has another problem in mind.
"Did you notice that those who walked are wearing God Punishment Stone?"
"I don't dare to be too close," Lightning pointed to Macy, "This guy becomes a hawk much better than me when I become an eagle."
The latter shook his head, "I didn't see it, maybe it was hidden in my clothes!"
"In this case ..." Roland thought, "You can take Nightingale to fly again. Can only one person have a flying height of about ten meters? You just fly along Scarlet Water River, Macy is responsible for the front alert, If you encounter a passing ship, Nightingale will enter the fog-shaped state. "He looked towards Nightingale." After approaching the enemy, you can observe from a long distance whether someone in the large army is carrying God Punishment Stone. Do not attack without authorization. "
"Yes." Nightingale and Lightning are in tune.
Just as the three were preparing set off, Roland stopped them, "Remember, safety first important, protect yourself."
"No problem," Nightingale blinked and smiled.
After witches left, he was a little disturbed. Was the last sentence too much like a flag?
He also realized a major mistake in his work, that is, his intelligence control over Longsong Stronghold was too weak. If it wasn't for Petrov's messenger, he would probably encounter the situation discovered by the enemy when he hit the door. Once in a street fight, First Army, which has lost its firepower advantage, is difficult to restore the situation.
I am still too young and too simple, Roland thought that this link must be made up after the war, and not only intelligence, Petrov should also have their own staff.
The prince sat at the table restlessly, and had no mood to eat Chinese food. Until Lightning flew into the room like an elf with Nightingale on his back, he was relieved.
Macy fell on the shoulders of Nightingale with flapping wings, and said loudly: "No goo, no goo!"
"No God Punishment Stone?"
"Most of them aren't," Nightingale took off Hood, and her blond hair came out. "I watched from the front to the end of the team. Except for the ten leaders, there are only three or four black holes in the militia team."
"Very good," Roland immediately formed a preliminary battle plan, "Are you all hungry? Go to the restaurant first, tell the chef what you want to eat."
"Honey Barbecue Go!" Macy spread his wings and raised his head.

small town outside the east.
Van'er squinted at the busy Stonemason and workers on both sides of the avenue, "What the **** are they building?"
Hundreds of people first dug several large pits on the ground, and then built a brick wall on the side of the pit. He thought that the two ends of the wall would be connected to block the road. I did not expect to surround the pit. Masonry.
"I don't care about him, I only know that there are enemies ready to fight again," Jop said excitedly while holding the gun mount in place.
That's true, thought Van'er. Since the last defeat of the Duke coalition, His Highness the Prince has personally issued a bronze emblem to each member of the artillery group ... No, it is a medal. The medal has a high wall pattern symbolizing Longsong Stronghold on the front, and the back is engraved with the year number and record. It is very exquisitely made, and envy the firearms team.
In addition to this honor, everyone has risen to the next level. Now Van'er is the cannon team Captain, and is in charge of ten cannon groups. The Rodney brothers, Cat's Claw and Jop were promoted to team leader. Three of them were transferred to the newly formed group to teach the newcomers how to operate cannon.
The most exciting thing is that His Highness the Prince has fulfilled its promise. Van'er is on the east side of small town, and a piece of land is allocated at the foot of Impassable Mountain Range. Although it is still only a forest, a stone monument has been erected on the ground to symbolize its use The right belongs to him.
So when it was learned that an enemy wanted to invade small town, First Army suddenly became boiling. Everyone was fighting, hoping to make a contribution in this battle.
When the dusk comes, Van'er, who has finished the day's exercise, wipes the sweat from his forehead and rests on the gun rest. All afternoon he checked between the various artillery groups whether the recruits had performed the firing steps in accordance with the regulations, and his throat shouted almost to smoke.
"Drink some saliva," Jop handed over a skin bag.
"Thank you," Van'er unscrewed the lid and drank it.
"I think I know what they are going to build," the former said with a raised angle.
"Really?" He returned the skin to the other side. At this time, the brick wall was half-height, and the earthen pit was roughly enclosed in a hexagon. However, each wall has a narrow horizontal seam at a distance of thirty to forty centimeters from the ground, a bit like a window, but it seems a little narrower. "It won't be a house."
“It ’s true that it ’s a house. I just asked a Stonemason,” Jop nodded. “He told me that this is something His Highness the Prince came up with, as long as the firearms team hid in this half-buried underground house. There is no worries about opening fire. But it has a unique name, Your Highness calls it a bunker. "(To be continued.
