Release that Witch Chapter 573: Battle of Fallen Dragon Ridge
"Boom --"
When the flare came out of the muzzle of the Type 152 gun, Iron Axe felt the steel warships under his feet tremble slightly.
After a few breaths, a cloud of smoke exploded from the far wall, and the dull bombardment came a while later. After the smoke and dust cleared, he lifted up telescope and found that huge cracks had appeared on the low stone walls.
Unlike attacking Kingdom Capital, Fallen Dragon Ridge is located in the central and southern part of the kingdom. It rarely encounters external attacks. The city walls are also very low, less than half of Longsong Stronghold. The wall allows only one person to pass, and large defensive facilities such as trebuchets cannot be set up. Therefore, artillery units have deployed field artillery on the open space 500 meters away from the city wall.
Considering the efficiency of Vanguard Battalion's hundreds of people entering the city, Iron Axe decided to open three gaps on the city wall and then act simultaneously. Any enemy who dared to gather after the gap to try to defend will be ruthlessly hit by a twelve-pound gun. Now that city gate and the northern section of the city wall have been cut through, as long as the last entrance is opened, he will issue a command for the total attack.
It would be nice if witch could follow the army, Iron Axe thought very regretfully, these precious artillery shells are still a pity to deal with stones.
If Lady Nightingale is here, it only takes three packs to send the entire city wall to the sky. -- After all, the enemy's defense power is far worse than Kingdom Capital.
This change of concept is even funny to himself. You should know that half a year ago, he insisted that the army should complete the task of Your Majesty. However, after working with Witch Union to conquer Kingdom Capital, he suddenly felt that it was the most perfect state to have witch as an eye or assault force in the army.
"Master!" shouted the soldier on the lookout pole, "There is movement in the city gate direction, they seem to be gathering horses!"
Iron Axe moved telescope and looked towards the already broken city gate. Due to the limited perspective, he could only see some dust rising behind the wall.
"Need to adjust the gun to fire there?" Van'er asked.
"No need. If you want the shell to land there, at least two or three rounds will be wasted." He shook his head. "Since it is a horse, I think they want to organize Knight to take a shot and use charge Why worry about opening the line -- of the field gun? It ’s you ... ”Iron Axe turned his head and looked at Speer Earl.“ After this charge, I do n’t think there will be much Knight in your territory. ”
"Since it was decided to stand by my brother, these people are no longer my Knight," she replied calmly, "let them pay the price for betrayal."
"I see," Iron Axe paused for a moment, "Do you want to deal with Redwin Percy?"
Yesterday, he just received a secret letter from City Hall requesting that except the Speer's relatives, the rest of the rebellion noble will be detained to Neverwinter City, and the resisters can be executed on the spot. Their territory was blocked by First Army, waiting for the City Hall statistician to arrive before conducting a search.
According to this situation, the end of noble is probably all the labor in the mines. -- Now several minerals in the stronghold area are not being mined. If you count your family members, relatives and servants, there must be hundreds of people. Neverwinter City can harvest a lot of iron ore again.
As for the culprit Redwin Percy, the letter requested that he be handed over to Earl.
There was a hint of hesitation on Speer's face, apparently no decision had been made.
Iron Axe sighed in his heart. If it was him, he would definitely cut off the opponent's head without hesitation. -- is nothing more unforgivable than betrayal.
"They are coming!" the watchman suddenly exclaimed.
He set aside these trivia and raised telescope to keep watching the battlefield.
As expected, a team of Knight rushed out of city gate and came towards the outer artillery positions.
The dense sound of gunfire echoed in the wilderness and the forest, and white smoke was blowing in front of the position. More than twenty Knight together with their squire had not rushed out a hundred meters, and they were successively planted in the wet mud. in.
If Duke Ryan led the army to invade Border Town, the Knight group charge can still pose a little threat to First Army. Until now, these iron tortoises are almost living targets with no fighting power.
The field artillery doesn't even need to be replaced. Instead, the revolving rifle and two heavy machine guns keep the enemy firmly on the charge.
With another round of firing by the naval gun, the thin and thin city wall finally collapsed, and Iron Axe ordered the whistle to sound and launch a total attack.
Vanguard Battalion soldiers emerged from the front, divided into three teams and ran to three gaps.
The battle to recapture Fallen Dragon Ridge has officially begun.
...
After an hour, the castle and church fell into the hands of First Army.
The enemy has been scared by the roaring weapon, and has not organized any strong resistance at all, or the Knight that was destroyed immediately after the city gate was issued is already all the manpower that Redwin can get.
The Church did not appear at all, all the materials in the church were evacuated, and the whereabouts of the priest Rossad was unknown.
Fallen Dragon Ridge does not have secret passage or hidden side doors. The city backed by mountain ridge has almost no way to escape. The soldiers blocked the power grabbers on the top of the castle.
Iron Axe ordered the ministers kneeling down for mercy, and then sent the soldiers out of the dormitory, leaving only Earl's brother and Speer Earl. Of course, Redwin is firmly tied to the chair and can no longer pose any threat to female Earl.
"I don't understand ..." Speer said silently for a long time. "Is it good for you to become a feudal lord? You and your third brother do n’t understand management affairs, and they do n’t know anything about trade. It's just handing over the power in the other vassal. Don't you think, I'm not as good to you as these outsiders? "
"You are the minions of witch, Devil!" Redwin yelled across the neck, "Father read you wrong, you deceived him!"
"But I'm still your sister!"
"You are not!" he gritted. "You are just a **** adopted by my father!"
"Why ...?" Speer froze.
"I heard after my ears that he was drunk, you said that you made a mistake when your father was young, and you have no surname at all Percy !! " Redwin Unfair, "Why did you inherit the family last, not me? I just took back what you should have belonged to me, and you are the real outsider!"
Speer covered her head, but she couldn't remember anything about memory from her childhood, "What did he ... wrong?"
"Why else do you look like your mother? Do you not remember how you came to Fallen Dragon Ridge!"
"So ... you are not my brother."
"Yes, I am the true heir of the family, Fallen Dragon Ridge Earl! Let go of me quickly, I want to be treated in accordance with noble status!"
Speer stumbled out of the dormitory, Iron Axe quickly supported her, "You're fine."
"I'm okay ..." She take a deep breath, "No --, bet Redwin Percy to Neverwinter City, he has lost his mind, I think the mine is where he should stay."
"as you wish," Iron Axe responded.
