Release that Witch Chapter 279: Battle line

Iron Axe entered a standard military salute after entering the hall.

"The troops of Timothy are expected to reach the Scarlet Water River fork in four days, so First Army will be set off this afternoon," Roland commanded directly, "the team stationed at Border Town's will meet with you at the attack site, and I will rush over as soon as possible. "

"Doesn't small town need to be armed?"

"All the enemy's movements are under the supervision of Lightning and Macy. The division of defense is no longer necessary. You only need to combine it in one place to defeat it then it will be alright." Prince paused, "and Longsong Stronghold needs to leave a hundred People guard those noble. "

"Stay here ..." Iron Axe froze slightly.

Roland briefly described the previous order issued to Five Major Families, "The reason why I gathered them is to facilitate the caretaker. After learning that Timothy attacked Western Region, I am not sure if anyone will move your mind, Second Army weapon is old , Lack of combat experience, and may not be able to respond to unexpected situations, but with ten teams of First Army soldiers, they can ensure that they can not make waves. I do not want any trouble behind the Scarlet Water River fork. "

"As you bid, Your Highness," he answered.

"You are going?" After Iron Axe left, Nightingale appeared from behind the main seat.

"Of course," Roland said, "If I don't go, who else can use the Lotus ability? I may not be good at commanding battles, but the bunkers closed the road and the tanks patted their faces. That is my best. "

"I know the bunker, what is a tank?" Nightingale looked puzzled.

"Well ... it's a carriage pulling cannon," Prince coughed. "But we don't have enough horses, so cannon needs to be transported by H.M.S. Little Town, so it can't be called a tank."

"So you picked Honey?" She blinked. "As far as I know, she can tame both tigers and leopards into horses. But cannon pulled by the beast can also be called Is it a tank? "

"Of course," Roland can't help but raise his lips, "Can also be directly called tiger and leopard."

Speaking, Carter took a White-tailed Kite and left come in. "His Royal Highness, there is news from Border Town's."

Roland clapped her hands. I saw that White-tailed Kite spread its wings spiritually, broke away from the embrace of Knight, and glided on his shoulder after gliding for a distance. He drew a piece of jerky out of his pocket and let the bird swallow it, and the latter consciously raised a claw to let him easily untie the cloth strips tied to it.

This kite eagle is not changed by Macy, but one of the air messengers trained by Honey. They can remember five to six different people, and hundreds of flight routes. As long as they take them to an unfamiliar place, they can establish a connection with Homing. This time Roland went to stronghold, bringing a total of four messengers, they can travel to and from two places in one hour, and fly non-stop all day long. With situation without radio, this is already the fastest way to contact.

Roland spread out the stationery wrapped in a strip of cloth and took a quick look.

The sender is Wendy. She has brought Lotus, Silvie, Leaf, Hummingbird and Nana to the Scarlet Water River fork according to her requirements. With the ship's set off, there are some members of the artillery team and eight cannons. This is also the maximum number of cannon that the H.M.S. Little Town deck can accommodate after lightweighting.

The prince estimated in his heart that when the Wendy propels the sail forward at full speed, it will take a day for the cement ship to reach its destination. Although the Silvie acts as a navigator and the ship can travel at night, the magic power of the Wendy is far less plentiful than the Anna, and it is not capable of uninterrupted performance. Therefore, if you rest at night and transport during the day, you will only be able to go back and forth twice in four days to transport up to sixteen field guns to the river crossing.

Although the number is not as high as the last battle, considering the unexpected surprise attack and the opponent's inability to quickly launch a counterattack on the ship, the artillery was barely enough. Roland took the pen and paper from Nightingale, and wrote new instructions ordering the garrison to carry weapon, ammunition immediately set off, and Iron Axe's large troops to merge at the river branch.

As long as one hour and White-tailed Kite can send the letter to Scroll, she will transfer it to Captain Brian.

...

Roland was The next day in the morning when it reached the scheduled location.

It is here that the sparkling river is divided into two, one flowing to Longsong Stronghold, and the other connected to Scarlet Water City.

Because the latter has a wider river, people are accustomed to see it as the main river of Scarlet Water River, and the one leading to stronghold is called small Scarlet Water.

After disembarking, the long-awaited witches came by the river.

"Where is Wendy?" Roland asked looking around.

"As soon as daylight came, I returned by H.M.S. Little Town," said Leaf, "she said that there is still a batch of cannon to be shipped."

"I heard that you are dealing with Timothy Wimbledon, that false king hunting witch in the city every day?" Lotus can't wait to ask, "What are you going to let us do?"

Although the main forces of Iron Axe and First Army have not arrived at this time, the preliminary preparations can be made in advance as long as there is witch then it will be alright.

"I need to establish a line of defense on both sides of the main river," he squatted down, and sketched a simple diagram with stones. "If this line represents the enemy's course, my troops will be distributed on both sides of the bank. Launch an attack. In order to have an unexpected effect, they have to hide first. So you have to raise two clay houses forming a V-shaped angle on the shore. The room is long and the walls must be thick. It has eight compartments inside. , There is only a small window on the side facing Scarlet Water River. "

"My Highness, I don't quite understand ..." Lotus puzzled, "You can hide the soldiers by hiding them in the earthen house, but they can't attack the ships on the river. If the pseudo-king's fleet Do n’t stop at all, do n’t call on the shore, what should I do if I drive all the way? ”

"No, they can't get through," Roland smiled, "you will know when that happens."

He then looked at Leaf, "You are in charge of covering up the fortifications, weeds and vines can do it to make them look more natural."

"Yes," Leaf responded.

In this way, when cannon is pushed into the camouflaged fortifications, the two seemingly useless earthen houses in Lotus's eyes will instantly turn into "sail battleships" that will never sink. At that time, as long as the bezel on the window is opened, each compartment can spit out deadly flames. Sixteen field artillery will not lose sight due to bumps. In fact, with such a close range shooting, almost all eyes are closed Even if the sailboats that can hit the center of the river cannot sink, it is enough to turn their deck into a Shura field.

And from the beginning, the enemy was in a disadvantaged position. The Roland thought proudly. You tell me, how did you lose your face? (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
