Release that Witch Chapter 503: Battle Kingdom Capital (on)
"His Royal Highness, a team is stationed in the dock area," reports Lightning, who is responsible for monitoring the situation of the enemy. "There are about a hundred people, and they look like militia."
"There are only a hundred people?" Roland was slightly surprised. It is not surprising that Timothy will arm dock in the suburbs. The vast fleet will pass by Scarlet Water City and Silver Light City all the way, and it will be noticed by people with interest. Although the speed of the steam ship is much faster than that of the sailing ship, and it takes only five days to complete the latter's one-week journey, it is still not as good as a continuous horse and day and night messenger, let alone a pigeon. -- if new King The spies used messengers to deliver the message, and Timothy could receive the message about two or three days in advance.
However, the opponent sent only one hundred people to defend dock. It was a surprise. According to Roland, the first battle should start at dock nearby. In order to prevent their troops from landing, crossbowmen and firearms will be arranged on both sides of the river. The soldier may even erect a trebuchet, which is why he built the inland river gunship before the spring offensive. The efficiency of water transportation is far better than that of land marching, but it also has the disadvantages of limited docking dock and being easily ambushed. With the ability to attack land, he can easily defeat the enemy's ambush and open a safe landing place.
The other party seems to have given up the "great advantage" of half-crossing. It is correct from the results, but it is not reasonable to say that -- Timothy impossible knows the range and power of 152mm naval guns.
Thinking of it, Roland called Silvie, "militia have Berserker drug pills?"
Silvie summoned Magic Eye to wait and see for a while, "I didn't find anything like Maruko. Some of them were not even equipped with weapon, but ... they seemed strange in the ground."
"In the ground?"
"They buried something under underground ... also on dock," Silvie frowned. "It's a crock and a wooden barrel ... it's filled with black-gray powder."
"Is this ... gunpowder?" Nightingale couldn't help but say out.
"So that's it, that makes sense," Roland pretended to be relaxed, "the militia team of a hundred people is just a bait sent by Timothy to attract our attention. The real purpose is to let us catch this rare Opportunity to land and land, capture dock, and then detonate gunpowder, sending us to the sky together with dock. "
Although he said it easily, he didn't think so. This tactic similar to the ancient mine warfare is indeed a good plan. Even if I see the clues, I always have to disembark. Since -- chose water transportation, dock Is the only way to go, Timothy obviously also realized this. It's just that he didn't plan to face the defense, but set up an ambush in secret to give himself a surprise. If Silvie is not present, I might really suffer a lot.
But since it was discovered in advance, it is still easy to solve. Without wireless detonation technology, Timothy will inevitably arrange igniters in nearby with gunpowder buckets, as long as they solve then it will be alright in advance. In any case, dock must be kept, otherwise cannon and ammunition will be difficult to transport to land.
Under the close observation of Silvie, Roland found two suspected ignition points. One is located in a shack beside dock, underground has an iron pipe leading to the nearest gunpowder bucket, and the other is in the warehouse of dock. The common feature of the two is that there are moving black holes caused by God Punishment Stone.
After discussing the results with Iron Axe, the battle plan was quickly finalized.
Nightingale first sneaked into the warehouse, silently killed the igniter, and guarded the door to prevent possible substitutes from breaking into the ignited gunpowder. Then use the naval gun to destroy the shack, even if it causes the early detonation under underground, it does not matter -- as long as dock is safe and sound then it will be alright.
Leaning on the wall stack of the Kingdom Capital west wall, Knight Steel Heart Welmes raised telescope and observed the movement on the canal.
The slender canal is like a glittering gold ribbon, traveling through the brown and white fields. The snow has disappeared, and the tender green of the earth is exposed. It is the grass that is sprouting and the proof of the recovery of all things. -- Whenever this kind of scenery is appreciated, it is so pleasing to the eye. The only thing that didn't make sense was the black smoke flying above the canal.
That's the rebel King Roland Wimbledon's fleet.
I didn't expect him to dare attack Kingdom Capital.
This made Welmes funny, and gave birth to a bit of admiration.
Since the capital was founded, it has never been attacked for more than two hundred years. Any enemy who sees its majestic bluestone city walls will not be able to raise the courage to attack. Not everyone has the courage to dare to fight against the enemy's most dominant field.
At least Timothy Wimbledon Your Majesty does not.
Unfortunately, the opponent is his own enemy.
Knight follows the glory. As Kingdom Capital's guardian Knight, he has been given the responsibility to defend the capital, so he must fulfill his responsibility to the end.
"Jazz, rebel King's fleet is here!" A squire ran up the town.
"Don't hesitate, I saw it long ago," Welmes put down telescope, spit out, "Pass me the order, the first cavalry and the second cavalry came back on city gate, as for the group mercenary, keep them tight Follow the cavalry then it will be alright. When the gunpowder explodes, don't urinate your pants. In addition, the pans are also burning, although I don't think they have the ability to touch this wall. "
The surrounding Knight burst into laughter.
According to the predetermined plan, when the rebel King troops occupy dock, the flag will be shaken on the city wall. At this time, the strong snow powder buried in dock nearby will detonate the opponent and cause serious losses. At this time, open city gate and launch a cavalry charge to lay a victory.
"The Western Region folks think that Kingdom Capital is about their most magnificent Longsong Stronghold, and you can take it with a wooden ladder," Knight Iron Feather Skal echoed. "I think you can save these firewood and take it home to burn."
"Be prepared for nothing." It was a fool. Jazz thought to himself that even if things such as boiling oil and rolling stones were not useful, he would have to show them to Timothy Your Majesty to see if the -- would deal with it because the enemy could not attack come in. Sooner or later, Your Majesty will kick out the Kingdom Capital Knight group.
He raised telescope again, and saw that the **** sailing boat in the fleet had left the team and headed for dock alone. The black flame emerging from its head can be seen from several miles away, and there is no paddle on the side, and it is not clear how it acted. But these are irrelevant. Even weird ships cannot go ashore.
The ship gradually slowed down and finally stopped slowly at the opposite bank of dock.
"What do they want to do?" Skal raised an eyebrow, "Is it possible wants to land across the river? Wouldn't it be a hundred people's militia team scared His Highness rebel King?"
Welmes is also quite surprised. Most people see that dock defense is so weak, they should occupy dock as soon as possible. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, and suddenly a blaze of fire lit up the front of the weird ship.
-- orange flame heart is like the new Dawn.
