Release that Witch Chapter 198: Unexpected opening
Three days passed quickly, and the defense line has been basically constructed.
Roland stands on the high platform behind the position, and encourages all First Army soldiers with the attitude of being on the battlefield, as Months of Demons did against Evil Beast.
Nightingale has taken Echo into the battlefield because of his special mission. The witch who took over the protection duties around him is Anna.
Roland also wore a coated armor and was holding two revolvers around his waist. If it wasn't for the full collapse of the defense line, it would be very difficult for him to be threatened by the lucky fish that came by.
"The enemy is about ten kilometers away from here, goo!" The huge pigeon descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder.
"Good job, keep monitoring," Roland took a piece of beef jerky from her pocket and handed it to Macy's mouth. She pecked the jerky into her belly two or three times, then spread her wings and flew eastward. go with.
With the turns of Lightning and Macy, he is clear about the enemy ’s movements, so he can calmly set the battlefield.
It is not safe to deal with the scourge of mad soldiers. It is not safe to line up a slender battle line. Especially in the report of Lightning, the short spears carried by hundreds of people make him pay special attention. That's probably the weapon that the other party used to preemptively preempt.
The range of general throwing weapon will not exceed 50 meters, but that is how far militia can throw a short spear after taking pills. Roland is not clear, but once it exceeds 100 meters Will pose a threat to the firearms team. Therefore, he simply chose to put down a batch of bunkers, implement urbanization tactics, use building blockages, firearms road closures, and artillery to form an insurmountable defense line.
Under situation with sufficient cement, it is easier to quickly build bunkers than ramparts. Although single-layer brick bunkers are somewhat fragile in structure, for militia teams without heavy siege equipment, Impenetrable fortifications.
Ten bunkers are arranged on both sides of the road in a diamond shape, forming a cross fire. Each bunker is equipped with twenty-four soldiers, half of which are recruits and veterans. Skilled veterans are responsible for firing and recruits are responsible for loading ammunition. Soraya also draws optical camouflage for the bunker. When viewed from a distance, the bunker and the surrounding environment are almost integrated. It is difficult to tell the difference between the two.
There are artillery units behind the front. Twenty cannons are lined up. The firing order is still the same as the previous one. Adjust the cannon firing angle and fill the corresponding ammunition according to the Lightning signal instructions.
There is also an emergency force around the artillery position, about a hundred people, equipped with flintlocks to protect the artillery and the His Highness the Prince in the rear.
Looking at the trembling and high morale soldiers in the defense line, Roland felt a little emotional. citizen who initially registered to join the army for the eggs, after the baptism of Months of Demons and small town defensive battles, can now shoulder the responsibility of defending their homeland.
"His Highness, the enemy is only two kilometers away from us," the young girl Lightning flew back to report this time.
"Very good, the surveillance task will be handed over to Macy. You can enter the woods to issue a bombardment signal." Roland nodded, then turned around and said to Chief Knight, "Pass me orders, all members of First Army, enter combat readiness. Position, ready to meet the enemy! "
"Yes!" Carter saluted.
*******************
Lehman feels that his hands are getting heavier.
The pain was still hot for the past two days, and now I almost lost consciousness. The armor could no longer be put on the swollen and blue arms, and the part hit by the hammer left a red and black mark. At first glance, the skin looked like a layer of oily light, and some were shiny.
It should be a broken bone, he thought, this arm would be lost without further treatment. Although the analgesics found in the church can alleviate the pain, they cannot regenerate broken bones. He decided to return to Kingdom Capital as soon as the battle was over. There were the best pharmacists in Greycastle and alchemist. They should be able to cure this **** internal injury.
"Sir Lehman, your hand ... doesn't matter, right?" Levin asked with some worry.
"It looks scary," he pretended to be indifferent. "Also, we don't need to take any action to attack Border Town, just look at it."
"I hope that the pain in your arm did not faint you, Lord Jazz," Duane chuckled, "do you want to attack small town?"
Lehman frowned, but now is not the time to take care of such trivial matters. "According to the news from Wolf and Elk noble, they mainly rely on a long-range attack weapon to contain Knight. Charge. This kind of weapon can launch an attack before the Knight speeds up. It is accompanied by fire and loud sounds. Similar to a large crossbow vehicle, the projectile fired is much faster than a crossbow. "
"In other words, despite its great power, it can't shoot continuously, right?" Levin quickly grasped the key points.
"Yes, the sooner we approach the opponent ’s defense line, the less attacks we have," Lehman nodded. "The other number is also very important. As far as I know, the Knight group of Duke Ryan and the Knight who called for noble add up. Two hundred people were only one step away from breaking the defense line, and we had a total of 1,500 people. These idiots did not run much slower than the horses after taking the medicine, so the results will be completely different from last time.
"Or all this will not happen at all," Duane disapproved. "Roland Wimbledon may still be waiting for the visit of the envoy group in the castle. We just need to walk into the castle generously and cut off his head."
"No, he must have noticed us," Lehman said categorically, "Did you not find out that we haven't met any caravans in these three days? After the businessman from Longsong Stronghold set off saw the big army tail It's not strange to choose to stay in place or return, but it is unusual to see the caravan from small town set off. This only shows that the prince blocked the border. "
"Now you understand why Your Majesty chose Sir Lehman as Captain instead of you?" Levin mocked.
"Well, it looks like your head is okay for the time being," Duane shrugged. "It's okay. It's obviously more interesting than killing the prince and killing those who dare to resist Timothy Your Majesty's.
"Sir Lehman, Border Town's soldiers were found in front of them," Knight, who was in charge of the investigation, reported back.
"Let's go and see," Lehman Urge mount Come forward. at this time small town The outline of the castle was faintly visible, and there seemed to be someone walking at the end of the road. He took out telescope , Carefully observe the defense line provided by the opponent, "Those with wheels should be the long-range attacks mentioned in the information. weapon It seems, but the number seems much more. "
"Let everyone rush straight up?" Levin asked.
"This road is a bit narrow, I'm afraid I can't accommodate all militia," he looked towards the wood on the right. "You can divide some people and walk around the forest. It doesn't matter if the speed is slower. If you can form a pinch from the side , This line of defense will not last long. "
Just as Lehman was preparing to order the team, the light in the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a white figure.
He startled, is this ... the illusion of a broken arm? Leaning her head, it was a woman. She wore a Hood, her body was shrouded in white robes, and before she could speak, a flare of fire suddenly appeared from her hands.
Lehman only felt that his head was hit with a hammer, and the world was spinning into darkness. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read.)
