Roland learned that the team was approaching the next morning, and the routine patrol of lightning found the slow-moving team.

“What, a thousand people?”Did he not say that he was a good messenger of fifty?

"Well," added Maisie, "but not many horses, only six!"

“The people who walk... where are they wearing and weapons?”

"Ordinary, most people don't have armor, just plain linen clothes," said the lightning, "and weapons are all kinds, but hundreds of people have carried short spears behind them."

Is such a poor level of equipment accompanies civilians or serfs?Roland wondered if there was no special training for the militia in this era, and that it was responsible for carrying grain and grass and heavy logistics for the knights' troops, and sometimes it could not be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's arrows.

If Tiffico wanted to solve himself by force, it would be impossible not to understand the battle that broke out between the Long Song Fortress and the border town.The more than two hundred knights of the Duke of Lane's coalition were unable to touch the side of the town, not to mention the militiamen running on their legs.Knowing the battle process and the results of the march to the town, can only say that they are sure to break through the dense line of gun control.

Roland couldn’t help but think of the Church’s pills.

He had previously wondered whether the church had supported itself and Garcia, along with Tifeco.If all of these people had pills, the situation would be completely different.

It can make the speed of human running close to the horse in a short period of time, and at the same time not afraid of injury, that is to say, the gun line will face the impact of more than a thousand knights, as long as one person rushes into the team, it will bring casualties to the First Army.

Fortunately, the First Army is no longer the army of more than two months ago.

Although the rifle has only been replaced by a hundred, the fire delivery density has far exceeded that of the flange gun force, especially after the shooter is equipped with a special loader, the enemy entering the 300 meters will encounter continuous attacks.The artillery was also expanded after the battle of the fortress, from the original four groups to the current twenty groups, each equipped with a 12-pound field gun variant, which increased the diameter and increased the effective range to more than kilometer.

But Roland thought of another problem.

“Have you noticed that those who walk wear the stone of God’s punishment?”

"I dare not get too close," said the lightning, pointing to Maisie, "and this fellow has seen more clearly than I have when he becomes an eagle."

The latter shook his head, "I don't see it, maybe it's hidden in the clothes!"

"In that case," Roland thought, "you'll fly with the Nightingler again."Only a person can fly about 10 meters, right?You fly along the Redwater River, and Maisie is on guard ahead, and if you encounter a boat, you turn from the nighting to the fog.”He looked at the Nightingoue, "After approaching the enemy, you will observe from a distance whether the large army has any people carrying the stone of divine punishment, and you must not attack without authorization."

“Yes.”Nightingales and lightning.

As the three men were about to set out, Roland stopped them, "Remember, safety is first, protect yourself."

“No problem,” the Nightingue blinked and smiled.

After the witches left, he was a little uneasy, and the last sentence was too much like a flag?

And he was also aware of the major mistake in his work, that was too weak to control the long song fortress—if it wasn’t for Perot’s dispatch of a messenger, he would have been in danger of encountering the enemy when he reached the door.Once caught in the street fighting, the first army that lost its firepower advantage is difficult to recover.

He was too young and too simple, Roland thought, this ring must be made up after the war, and not only intelligence, Perot should be placed around his own people.

The prince sat uncommentably at the table, and the Chinese meal was not in the mood to eat, until the lightning flew into the room like an elf on the back of the nightingale, and he was relieved.

Maisie flaps her wings and falls on the nighting-leoper shoulder and shouts, “No Gollum, No Gollum!”

“There is no stone of punishment?”

“Most of them are not,” said the Nightingale, taking off her hood and blond hair spilling, “I have been observing the end of the front of the procession, except for the ten men who led the team, there are only three black holes in the militia.”

"Very well," Roland, at once forming a preliminary battle plan, "are you all hungry?"Go to the restaurant and tell the cook what you want to eat."

“The honey roast!”Maisie spread her wings.

Outside the small town.

Vanner looked at the busy stonemasons and workers on both sides of the road, “What are they building?”

The hundred people first dug several large pits on the ground, and then built brick walls by the pit, which he thought would be connected at both ends to block the road, but he did not expect to be built around the pit.

"I only know that there is another enemy who can beat him," said the grapemaker, holding the gun rack in place.

That's true, Vanna thought.Since the last defeat of the Duke's coalition, His Royal Highness personally presented each member of the gun group with a bronze coat of arms... no, it was a medal.The front of the medal has a high wall pattern symbolizing the long song fortress, with the year and performance on the back, which is very beautifully made, and the musketeers are envious.

And in addition to this honor, everyone has risen to the first level, and now Vana is already the captain of the artillery team, in charge of ten artillery groups.The Rodney brothers, cat claws and grapefruit skins were promoted to group leader, and three of them were transferred to the newly formed group to teach the new recruits how to operate the artillery.

The most exciting thing is that His Royal Highness the Prince has fulfilled his promise, Vanner in the eastern side of the town, at the foot of the desperate mountains divided into a piece of land, although it is only a forest, but the ground has been erected a stone monument, symbolizing that the right to use this place has belonged to him.

So when it was learned that there was an enemy who wanted to invade the town, the First Army suddenly boiled up, and everyone was rubbing their hands and hoping to make a neutral performance in this battle.

Until the twilight came, Vanner, who had finished his day of practice, wiped the sweat on his forehead and rested by sitting on the cannon rack.All afternoon he checked between the various artillery units for the new recruits to carry out the firing steps according to the rules, and his voice was about to smoke.

“Shut up,” the teak handed over to a sac.

“Thank you,” Vanner unscuttered the lid and drank it.

“I think I know what they’re building,” the former said triumphantly, lifting his mouth.

“Is it?”He gave the skin back to each other.At this time, the brick wall has been built up to half a person, and the earth pit is roughly surrounded by a hexagon.However, each wall is thirty or forty centimeters away from the ground, leaving a narrow cross-serift, a bit like a window, but slightly narrower.“It’s not a house.”

"It's true that the house is right, I just went to ask a mason," said the teak, nod, "he told me that this is what the Prince's Highness wanted, as long as the musketeers hid in this half-buried underground house and opened fire, there is no need."But it has a unique name, which His Highness calls a bunker.”(Unfinished.
