Power and Empire Chapter 3428: Pro’s luck

The cold and quiet atmosphere, like the mist of a leucorrhea, is completely enveloped in the city streets

The streets burned by the fire showed a scorched black color. Some houses also showed the scene when the owner fled. The mess was all over the floor. Just half a day ago, this was a building with a population of 30,000. Known as the shining jewel on the crown of King Biang, the beautiful port city, there are not a few nobles from all over the world who come to vacation,

Especially in May and June, the green sea in the middle of the green is especially fascinating for travelers. The white of the main body of the city, the blue of the sea, and the cotton-like clouds floating in the sky, layer by layer. The outline of the city with upward cliffs and mountains is enough to make any outsider who comes here is shocked by the sight in front of them.

And now, in just half a day, everything has changed. Most of the city is grandly in the dark, and the air is full of burnt smells. Everyone who can run has ran away, and most of them are still staying in the city. They are all poor people in the city. For them, once they leave the city, they have lost everything. Therefore, even though they know that the fleet of the famous Sunrise Chamber of Commerce stops on the sea in the direction of the port, they still insist on staying. In the city, he hides in his own home with trepidation, and doesn’t even have the courage to look outside. The closed windows, the empty streets, the solitary lights, gleaming with a bigger light in the vast darkness, seem to come anytime. May be overwhelmed by darkness

Because the situation in the city could not be confirmed, the ship of the Hinode Chamber of Commerce did not land, but chose to stop on the sea at the port. The head of the Bjorn Army, Brandt, temporarily changed the combat plan

"Tell my order and ship the things directly to the port!" Brandt's gaze was taken back from the distant sea, a little light on the surface, and he pretended to order, he originally wanted to lure him to land. , After all, the troops he leads are all land forces. Although the opponent’s strength is strong, this is Bion’s land.

Fifty thousand troops are fighting on the mainland. What they want is to occupy all the advantages in itself. At least in terms of logistics support, there is no need to worry

The opponent is different. Brandt believes that the opponent is advancing along the route with a fleet of tens of thousands of people. The daily consumption of a fleet of tens of thousands is a large number. Once the opponent’s landing force Unable to achieve a breakthrough victory, in the case of completely unable to get supplies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persist for ten days,

So the best way is to build walls and clear the fields, but Brandt is very clear that the strategy of building walls and clearing the fields means emptying the entire Port of Moore, which is impossible under normal circumstances, Moore. As the most famous port along the coast of Central Europe, the port attracts travelers and nobles from all parts of the European continent, and it is in Bion. This season of the year, there are also a large number of nobles who come to the Port of Mer for vacation. , Enjoy the warm sun, the azure blue emerald sea, and the port of Moore, because it is a place where cultures meet, and it is also a prosperous commercial area. Especially in a short period of time, it was occupied by several races in turn. The mixed-race beauty of Ergang is also quite famous

Morport is a business card of the Kingdom of Bjorn to the outside world. It is a symbol of the kingdom of Bjorn that it is prosperous. Once he issues an order to the port of Mourr, Brandt knows that he will be defeated by countless people. Drowning in saliva, even if you can defeat the enemy in the end, your Majesty will be slapped to the end for the crime of losing the face of the kingdom.

Brandt is not good at camping, but he is not a fool either

Others refused to take over this hot potato. In the end, he dared to stand up. Naturally, he had his own cards. He had lived in Port More for three years. He was very familiar with Port More and nobles gathered in Port More Especially in this season, most of the citizens in the city have the habit of buying land in villages outside the city. Once they find that Port More is in crisis, these people will definitely choose to flee to the countryside. This is enough, in order to make the chaos seem like Realistic enough, he also sent more than one hundred people to dress up gangsters in the city to smash shops, burn down the streets, and use the opportunity of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce fleet to appear on the waters of Port Moore to deliberately plunge the entire Port of Moore into a sudden crisis

Sure enough, there was chaos in Port Mol. The citizens in the city rushed to flee. The nobles ran the fastest. The Port Mol in front of us was already a dead city. Even if the other side occupied the city, the supply they could get was quite scarce. , Those wealthy residential areas that may store a large amount of food are the key areas that Brandt sent to burn, and the strategy of building walls and clearing the fields is extremely easy to do.

"It's too dangerous. The distance of one hundred meters is too close. Once found, the opponent's Thor will..." The subordinate was a middle-aged officer with slightly bald hair and his name was Pro. After hearing Brandt’s order, Pro’s face changed, and his voice trembling eagerly said

Knowing that the port is only about a hundred meters away from the fleet on the sea, and thinking of pushing these terrible things all the way under the eyes of the imperial fleet, this middle-aged officer's feet are a little weak. The distance of 100 meters is already within the range of the Imperial Fleet Thor’s shooting. Once the opponent finds an anomaly on his side, he won’t be able to inquire, so he will directly hit a series of Imperial Thor’s artillery shells over his head, and then think that he transported it. Thing, General's body shuddered, and Thor was blown to pieces at most, but if the transported things were ignited, it would be truly tragic

"Pro, I believe you can do it"

Brandt stretched out his hand and patted his subordinates on the shoulder, comfortingly said, "The success or failure of this battle is in one move. Regardless of the final result, your achievements are ranked first. You have been in this position for eleven years. Years, do you want to stay here forever! As long as you succeed, you will definitely be promoted to general. In that case, you can get immunity from the high nobility, and your son can be served from the death penalty. This time I am special Bringing you, besides that you have been following me for three years, but also because you are a native of Murray, and once worked as a postman. I believe that the road from the city to the port, even if there is no light, you Can also arrive safely"

"Can my son really not be executed?" A look of hope flashed across Puro's face and gritted his teeth. His son was jealous with others and killed him by mistake, although he was also a nobleman. The third-class baron is not a high-ranking noble in the law. In the kingdom of Bion, the lowest high-ranking noble must also be a first-class baron. Fifty years ago, the ancestors of the Pro family were the ancestors of the Pro family. It is a pity that the following two generations were mediocre. After descending again and again, he has descended from the ranks of high-ranking nobles to the lowest-level nobles. If there is no performance, after his death, the pro family will directly become a civilian-level lord.

"According to the decree of the kingdom, the high-ranking nobles have three immunities against civilians. What your son missed to kill was only a low-level junior lord, not among the nobles, and the other party should do it first. If you can improve As a general, your title will be promoted from the current three-tier baron to the first-tier baron. As long as you transfer the title to your son, he will be exempted from protection."

"Understood, I will complete the task." Pu Luo thought of his situation, knowing that the road in front of him was the only way to save his son, and it was also the only way that the Pu Luo family would not become a commoner. In fact, the Pu Luo family's first The first generation was still very brave, but the next two generations did not seem to inherit the characteristics of bravery. Instead, they all became civilians. Especially 20 years ago, the investment in the Pro family’s industry failed, and Pro was even a postman for a period of time. Repaying debts, also when working as a postman, accidentally ran into a young man who was traveling to Port Mell, and Plo became a guide for the young man. This young man was Brandt who was transferred to the Sheriff of Mull at the time. /

Blant needed an assistant who was familiar with Moore’s situation. So at the time, his main job was the clerk of Moore Port, and Pro, who was a postman as a side job, entered the military system and became the adjutant of Brant’s sheriff. Prow, who has never stepped into the battlefield once, doesn’t know that after tonight, his name will resound throughout Obalo

"Then, I'm going. If I can't return tonight, I will ask the adults to take care of my family." Proudly saluted Brandt with a solemn face.

"Take care? Well, don't worry, I will bring the news of your death to Anselin, and then I will help Anselin to find new love..." Brandt's eyes were bright. Shrugged my shoulders

"My lord, don't you have a word to encourage me at this time?" Proud sighed helplessly. Brandt is a very unreasonable person from the outside, but for someone familiar Brandt has always been unobtrusive, otherwise this time he would not be bragging with his friends, saying that as long as he sits in Port More, he will inevitably set the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce severely, but I don’t know who will say this. The words went to the king, and then somehow he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fifty thousand army. If this war is won, it is easy to say, if it is defeated, Brandt's lower body is probably going to be spent in prison.

"Encourage you, do you want to kill me? Are you kidding me, who do you think you are? If you still want to see your son, run away if you are found, you know!" Brandt rolled his eyes

In the dark night, the sound of a faint rut crushing the road was not noticeable. I saw a dozen carriages slowly entering the city streets. The carriages were covered with a layer of covering, and the dull wheels were pressed on the ground. The rocks make noises, and from time to time you can hear the cooing sound after the collision. It can be seen that the things on the carriage are quite heavy.

The direction of these carriages is the direction of the port. In front of the carriage, two teams of more than a hundred Bion’s light cavalry guard the two lines like a fan-shaped arc. These Bion’s light cavalry wear leather. Armor, with a domed helmet on the head, a metal nose extending to the chin, three horizontal iron bars used to protect the face, a small round shield inlaid on the arm armor of the hand, and a cavalry long sword in his hand. Keep scanning around,

In front of the two cavalry teams, a chubby middle-aged man uttered various prayers and cautiously drove towards the port. He was the general. By virtue of his familiarity with the port of Moore, the convoy After walking through the dark city for half an hour, the port area in front of everyone appeared in front of them,

"General Luck", a famous proverb throughout later generations, has been interpreted at this moment. The entire port area is empty, the sea breeze is blowing, there is no ship in the cold, and only a hundred meters away can be seen in the darkness. The lights floating up and down in the imperial fleet on the sea surface are like fireflies gathering in the summer night. The Sunrise Chamber of Commerce did not send anyone to land, and even more unexpectedly, the Bion people who appeared in chaos and horror would have the courage to counterattack. The smooth wind in Locke and the fruitful harvest in Port Anthea have brought the vigilance of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce below the standard line.

After all, the predecessor was only the mercenaries of the Imperial Bank. It is impossible to expect them to reach the level of military law like a regular army

"Okay, unload everything, right at this position, throw them all into the sea!" Proceeding got off the horse, looking for something along the port, and finally stopped at a section of the port seawall, he carefully determined Later, he whispered towards the team behind him,

"One, two, three, Kai"

Behind the Bjorn cavalry uncovered the thick cloth covering the carriage, revealing the round wooden barrels below. These barrels were quite heavy. The cavalry unloaded the wooden barrels from the carriage with great difficulty and used their horses carefully. Pulled to the designated position, and then thrown into the sea water of the port, puff puff puff, the wooden barrels fell into the water one by one, making a puffing thought, sinking slightly, and then floating up again, following the undulating waves up and down, each other Collision,

A horse-drawn carriage contained thirty such wooden barrels, and a full dozen horse-drawn carriages. Soon, three to four hundred wooden barrels were thrown into the sea water. Probably glanced at it with his eyes, and the sights were densely packed. The wooden barrels floated in the sea, and a wave was pushed. The barrels collided with each other, making a clanging sound in the dark.

Listening to the harsh sound

Puluo felt that his scalp was numb, and his heart was already hanging in his throat, not only because of the light coming from the direction of the imperial fleet a hundred meters away, but also because of the dense numbness in front of him floating with the waves. 'S barrel

Others don’t know what’s not here~ IndoMTL.com~ can still look calm, he knows what's inside, kerosene! These were all the fire oil purchased from the Strands by the Bion Kingdom in order to deal with the Hungarian invasion at the beginning, and the total amount of fire oil was four hundred and thirty barrels, but later the Hungarian army gave up the invading fire oil. There has always been a warehouse, this time, it was ordered by Brandt, so much kerosene exploded or burned, and at such a close distance, there was absolutely no bones left!

The dark port, densely packed kerosene barrels, and a hundred meters away is the imperial fleet like giant beasts in the dark night. The atmosphere is so depressing that people do not dare to take a breath. General's eyes are just staring. With wave after wave of waves, those wooden barrels are also pushed together by the waves.

"My lord, look!" Suddenly a Bjorn cavalry raised his finger to the left. Prowl quickly looked over, and saw that the barrel at that location suddenly left the seawall, like a pair of invisible magical hands. The impetus was normal, and it was headed toward the outer sea, and in that direction, the dense imperial fleet did not notice these unexpected "gifts" at all.

"Reflux, it is reflux!" Pu Luo's body trembled slightly, his face was overjoyed, and he finally started to reflux!
