Pursuit (Part 2)
Chapter 118:Pursuit (Part 2)
Although Roland allowed the First Army to practice twice a week, he never tried to march at night.
It is a dangerous thing to send troops at night, you can't see the road, you are easy to be attacked by wild beasts and venomous snakes, it is easy to lose your way, and lifting the torch is simply a natural target.Therefore, he had to wait until dawn the next day to let the team go, followed the duke's coalition.
In order to ensure the success of this operation, the prince decided to follow the First Army.Of course, compared to the bumpy and ass riding, he chose to take the small town number.
After half a month of training, the hummingbird has been able to control the lightness of the twelve-pounder gun within a fixed range, taking into account the long demonic process, Roland arranged for her to transform the gun at dawn, so that the first one lasts the longest, and the remaining several in turn, to ensure that the four lightweight failure time is as much as possible.
Thanks to the ability of the hummingbirds, the town can now carry four guns and members of the gun group at once.The large cement ship was full of people in addition to the artillery and Roland, and the town number was accompanied by Anna, Nightingale, Nanawa, Leaf, Echo, Hummingbird and Tigu Pyne, Wendy was responsible for providing power, and Brian was the helmsman.
It can be said that in addition to the books that are not good at fighting, soroia, Lily, and the mystery moon, the witch of the border town almost poured out.Anna did not need to go to the battlefield, but her firm eyes made Roland finally unable to crack down.
The land force was the muskete force of the First Army, led by the chief knight Carter and the Iron Axe, and the lightning took on the whole positioning tracking task.A group of people quietly followed behind the enemy, and the distance was just outside the range of the patrol.Once the lightning finds that there is a reconnaissance activity, the army will stop advancing.Along the way, they also captured a lot of scattered mercenaries and free people, but at this moment they could not deal with these surrendered enemies, and after disarming, they were taken care of by the players who did not get guns and took them on the road together.
This is also the first time Roland led the "big army" to recruit the enemy, he stood in the head of the town ship, feel the morning breeze, the heart is quite full.
“What are you laughing at?”Anna suddenly appeared beside him and asked.
"Oh . . ." Roland smiled instantly, "Nothing."
“Yes?”She handed her handkerchief, "Wash the mouth."
Roland suddenly felt an impulse to jump into the water, "Thank you."
When the lightning reported to the other party camping, it was already when the sun was setting.In comparison with the continuous investigation, obviously after a big defeat, the morale of the coalition forces has dropped to a freezing point, just to the dusk, the reconnaissance knight can not wait to return to the camp, for fear of missing the evening horse meat.
Roland's troops were stationed on the shore two kilometres from the Duke's army.
There was no discovery along the way, and the annihilation plan was half-successful.
Then just wait until dawn, before the enemy has set off to complete the siege.
This was also the first time Roland had spent the night in the wild, and he was more inclined to sleep on the boat than in various reptilian camps.The wooden shed where the gun was parked was emptied, the members of the gun set unloaded twelve pounds of guns and entered the camp, and the town became the prince's temporary palace.In addition to Roland, the other witches stayed on the ship overnight.They will be covered with tents and laid down side by side with their clothes.
Roland wanted to hold on, and found that the witches were less concerned than him, except for Anna, they were people who had suffered a lot, and in the days of wandering, it was common to sleep in the wild.Soon, everyone went to sleep, only Roland and Anna could not sleep.The former was accustomed to soft beds, and it was difficult for the hard deck beds to adapt for a while, while the latter did not know what to think, and kept their heads at Roland.When the prince turned his head, Anna always quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, but in the reflection of the moonlight, her eyelashes could still be seen shaking slightly.If she wasn’t afraid of clamoring for others, Roland really wanted to hold the other person’s small tip of her nose and force her to open her eyes and then hug her.
The two of them did not sleep for a night.
Before dawn, Roland began to surround his army: 270 infantrymen with muskets were divided into two groups, one of which was sent from the town number to the rear of the duke's army, and the defense was completed within a kilometer.Lightning is responsible for monitoring the duke's movement, when the back of the round the set up a good gun, the little girl will give instructions, at this time Carter led the left-behind troops will start to attack head-on.
The unified transportation of cement ships avoids the possibility of the departure of the army, and the black and white horizon after the nightingue enters the fog can be used as a night vision instrument, and she can take on the pilot to make the town have the ability to sail around the day.
This process has been practiced repeatedly, and everyone knows what to do with their eyes closed.Wendy will expand the wind output, the town number is almost like the wind and waves, the people and horses in batches to the rear, about an hour later, the iron axe led the interception part is in place, the lightning flew above the Carter camp, the orange flag.
At this time, the sky had just dawned.
The planning officially begins.
Since the echo was assigned to the rear combat, the musketeers responsible for the frontal attack did not use mobile combat, they only had to line up a battle line to protect the two guns.Twelve-pounders were soon pushed into position and fired at the enemy camp, while most of the duke was still asleep.
With the sound of rumbling artillery, solid shells roared toward the camp.The knights and mercenaries rushed out of the tent at the beginning of the dream, but found that the first army had been lined up and waited quietly in place.With the experience of the previous day's fiasco, no one dares to challenge this seemingly thin defense line, and can only swarm to the east to escape.
The iron axe was waiting behind for a long time.
When the enemy appeared in view, the encirclement plan finally reached the moment to close the fold.
With the sound of the marching music, the first army of 150 people stepped on the drums, lined up two rows in a neat row, and stepped forward to the enemy in order to put pressure on the Duke's army, the iron axe responsible for interception must take the initiative to attack.If you stay in the same place, the enemy who has returned to God is likely to give up the mount and escape from the woods.
The Duke of Lane had fallen into despair, and he wondered at all how the other had appeared behind them.
Admitting to failure and surrendering?He did not know how Roland Wimbledon would treat a duke who dared to show the royal family, perhaps imprisoned, perhaps exiled, or even directly put on the guillotine.Either way, the long-song fortress will certainly have nothing to do with him in the future.
Seeing the approaching troops, and the terror weapons that roared and fire from time to time behind the other side, he knew that if he did not rush at this moment, he would never rush back.There were only 30 people left, and this was his last chance.
"They can't stop us at all," cried the duke, "and they will not follow us on two legs if they cross this line."We are only half a day away from the long song fortress!“Clery, come on with me!”
Then the duke began to urge the mount to accelerate, but unfortunately not everyone held the spirit of fighting to death, followed by only ten people, including the guard, but he could not care so much now.
The music stopped.
The other side stopped the pace neatly, standing in front of him like a wall.
Then he saw the men holding up the short stick in their hands.
When the Duke of Lane was only a hundred steps away from the wall, a ping-pong voice rang out, and he felt a shock in his chest and abdomen, like being struck by a scalp.Then came the feeling of paralysis and powerlessness, and his body fell back and fell from his horse.
The duke spoke, but could not make any noise, and he coughed twice, smelling only a strong sweet, sticky liquid blocking his voice.Soon, the darkness covered him.(Not finished.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the project, your support, is my biggest motivation.
