Sudden Opening
Chapter 198:Sudden Opening
Three days passed quickly, and the defense line was basically completed.
Roland stood on the high platform behind the position, like the evil moon against the evil beast, and inspired all the soldiers of the First Army with the attitude of coming to the battlefield.
Due to his special mission, the Nightingale has sneaked into the battlefield with echoes, and the witch who takes over his protection duties is Anna.
Roland himself put on the coated armor, and he had two revolvers around his waist.If the line of defense had not collapsed, it would have been difficult for the fish that had been caught to be a threat to him.
"The enemy is about ten kilometers away from here, huh!"A giant dove fell from the sky and fell on his shoulder.
"Well done, keep watch," Roland took a piece of beef jerky from her pocket and handed it to Maisie's mouth, and she peat the meat jerky into her stomach, then spread her wings and flew east.
With the rotation of lightning and Maisie, he was clear about the movement of the enemy, so he could easily arrange the battlefield.
Dealing with the crazy fighters of drugs, it is not safe to line up in elongated battle lines, especially in the lightning report, hundreds of short spears that make him particularly concerned, if not wrong, it is likely to be the other party used to pre-emptive weapons.
Generally, the range of throwing weapons will not exceed 50 meters, but for ordinary people, the militia can throw a short spear, Roland is not clear, but once more than 100 meters will pose a threat to the musketeers.So he simply chose to put down a number of bunkers, implement urbanization tactics, use building blocks, muskets to seal roads, and fire, and build an insurmountable line of defense.
In the case of sufficient cement, it is easier to quickly build the bunker than the wall, although the single-layer brick bunker is structurally fragile, but for the militia team without heavy siege equipment, it is an indestructible fortification.
Ten bunkers are positioned in the shape of two sides of the road, forming crossfire.Each bunker is equipped with twenty-four soldiers, half of the new veterans, skilled veterans are responsible for shooting, and recruits are responsible for loading ammunition.Soroya also painted optical camouflage for the bunker, standing in the distance to watch, the bunker and the surrounding environment are almost integrated, it is difficult to distinguish between the two.
At the back of the front line are the artillery units, and the twenty guns are lined up, and the firing order is still the same as the last time, adjusting the firing angle of the gun according to the signal instructions of the lightning and loading the corresponding ammunition.
Around the bombardment position stood an emergency force, about 100 people, armed with flintlocks to protect the artillery and His Royal Highness the Prince in the rear.
Looking at the soldiers in the defensive line, the morale was a little, Roland felt a little sad.At first, the leaders who signed up for the army for eggs, after the baptism of the demon month and the defense of the town, can now shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending their homes.
"Your Highness, the enemy is only two kilometers away," and this flight returned to report the little girl's lightning.
"Very well, the surveillance mission is given to Maisie, you can go into the woods to send a bombardment signal."Roland nodded, then turned, and said to the chief knight, "Tell me, all the members of the First Army, enter the position of readiness, ready to meet the enemy!"
“Yes!”Carter saluted.

Lehman felt his hands sink more and more.
The first two days were still hot and painful, and now I have almost lost consciousness.The armor can no longer cover the swelling and turquoise arm, the part hit by the hammer left a red and black mark, the skin looks like a layer of oil, some transparent shiny.
The bone must have been broken, he thought, without treatment, this arm will not be able to hold.The analgesics found in the church can relieve the pain, but it cannot regenerate the broken bones.He decided to wait until the battle was over and immediately returned to the royal capital, where there were the best pharmacists and alchemists in the fort of Grey, who should be able to heal the damned infirm.
“Sir Lehman, your hand... doesn’t it matter?”Löfven asked with some concern.
"It looks scary," he said, pretending to be indifferent, "and attacking the border town doesn't need us to do it, just look at it."
"I hope the pain in your arms doesn't make you faint, Sir," laughed Donne, "do you think you should attack the town?"
The other's tone made Lehman frown, but it was not a time to care about such a small thing, "according to the news from the wolves and elk nobles, who had largely contained the knight's charge by relying on a long-range offensive weapon."This weapon can attack before the knight speeding up, accompanied by fire and loud noises, similar to a large crossbow, but the throws are fired much faster than the crossbow.”
“In other words, despite its great power, it’s also not able to shoot continuously, can’t it?”Löfven quickly grasped the key point.
“Yes, the closer we get to each other’s defenses, the less we’re attacked,” Lehman nodded, “and the other numbers are important.”As far as I know, the Knights of Duke Lane and the knights of the conscripts of the nobles together were only two hundred, and in the end they were only one step away from breaking through the line, and we had fifteen hundred.These idiots don't run much slower than horses after taking their medication, so the results will be completely different from the last time."
"Or all this will not happen at all," said Donovan disapprovingly, "and Roland Wimbledon may still be waiting for the messenger's visit at the castle, and we'll just have to go into the castle and cut off his head."
"No, he must have noticed us," said Lehman categorically; "didn't you find that we haven't found any caravans in those three days?"It is not surprising that the merchants who set out from the long song fortress saw the tail of the large troops and chose to stay or return in place, but it is unusual not to see the carpentry from the town.This only shows that the prince has sealed the border.”
"Now you understand why your majesty chose Sir Lehman as captain and not you?"Leven laughed.
"Well, it seems that your head is no problem for a while," shrugged Donne, "so that it would be more interesting than killing the prince alone and killing the parsleys who dared to rebel against His Majesty Tifeko."
“Sir Lehman, the soldiers and horses of the border town have been found ahead,” the searcher returned.
“Come on, let’s go see,” Leyman urged the mount to get ahead.At this time, the outline of the town's castle was hidden, and there seemed to be a shadow at the end of the road, and he took out the lookout mirror and carefully observed the defensive line arranged by the other party. "Those things with wheels should be the long-distance attack weapons in the intelligence, but the number seems much higher."
“Let everyone go straight up?”Leven asked.
"This road is a little narrow, I am afraid that all the militiamen," he looked to the right side of the forest, "can separate some people, from the forest around, slow down it does not matter."If a clamping can be formed from the side, this line of defense will not last long.”
Just as Lehman was about to order the adjustment of the team, the afterglow in the corner of his eye suddenly captured a white figure.
He snushed, was this the hallucination of a broken arm?Turns out, it was a girl.She was wearing a hood, her whole body shrouded in white robes, before she could open her mouth, a fire suddenly appeared from her hand.
Lehman only felt his head pounded with a hammer, and the world spun into darkness.(Unfinished.)
