Release that Witch

Chapter 503: War King (on)

"His Royal Highness, there is a team stationed in the dock area," said the Lightning sink, which is responsible for monitoring the enemy's situation. "The number is around 100, and it looks like a militia."

"Only a hundred people?" Roland was a little surprised. It is not surprising that Tiefco will be deployed at the outskirts of the quay. The vast fleet will drive through Chishui City and Silver City all the way, which will surely be noticed by the people. Although the speed of the steamship is much faster than that of the sailboat, it takes only five days to complete the latter's one-week journey, but it is still not comparable to the continuous messenger, the courier that stays up all night, not to mention the pigeons. The new king's spy sends a message with the pigeon, and Tiefco can get the message about two or three days in advance.

However, it is surprising that the other party only sent a hundred people to defend the dock. According to Roland, the first battle should be carried out near the dock. In order to prevent the troops from landing smoothly, the bows and firearms will be arranged on both sides of the river. It is even possible to set up a trebuchet, which is why he built a river gunship before the spring offensive. The efficiency of waterway transportation far exceeds that of land marching, but it also has the disadvantage of limited docking and easy pre-settling. With the ability to attack the land, he can easily defeat the enemy's ambush and open up a safe landing site.

The other side seems to have given up the "great advantage" of the half-crossing, which is correct from the result, but it can't be justified - it is impossible for Tiefko to know the range and power of the 152mm gun.

Thinking of this, Roland called Sylvie over. "Is there a violent pill on the militia?"

Sylvie summoned the eyes of the magic to watch for a while. "I didn't find anything like a ball. Some of them didn't even have the weapons, but... it seems strange in the ground."

"In the ground?"

"They buried something under the ground...and there are also on the dock," Hilvey frowned. "It's a crock and a barrel... it's filled with dark gray powder."

"This is... gunpowder?" The nightingale couldn't help but come out.

"It turns out that this makes sense," Roland said with ease. "The militia team of a hundred people is just a bait that Tiffico sent to attract our attention. The real purpose is to let us seize this rare. Opportunity to land on the dock, capture the dock, then detonate the gunpowder and send us together with the dock."

Although it is easy to say, he doesn't think so in his heart. This kind of tactic similar to the ancient mine warfare is indeed a good plan. Even if he sees the clues, he always has to disembark. Since the choice of waterway transportation, the terminal is a must. Through the road, Tiffco is clearly aware of this. It’s just that he didn’t plan to defend the front, but set up an ambush in the dark to give himself a surprise. If there is no Sylvie, I might have a big loss.

However, since it was discovered in advance, it is still very easy to solve. Without the wireless detonation technology, Tiefco will inevitably arrange the ignition personnel in the vicinity of the buried gunpowder barrel, as long as they are solved in advance. In any case, the terminal must be guaranteed, otherwise artillery and ammunition will be difficult to transport to land.

Under the careful observation of Hillvi, Roland found two suspected fire points, one in a shack at the dockside, with a iron pipe leading to the nearest gunpowder barrel and the other in the dockyard. What the two have in common is that the dark black holes caused by the stone of the gods are moving.

After discussing the results with the iron axe, the operational plan was quickly determined.

First, the nightingale sneaked into the warehouse, quietly killing the arsonist and holding the door to prevent possible substitutes from breaking into the gunpowder. Then use the guns to destroy the shacks, even if it leads to the early detonation under the ground, it doesn't matter - as long as the dock is safe and sound.

On the wall of the Wangdu West Wall, the steel heart knight Weimas lifted the lookout and observed the movement on the canal.

The slender canal is like a gleaming golden ribbon, which runs through the brown and white wilderness. The snow has already disappeared to the majority, revealing the green of the earth. It is the germination of the grass, and it is also proof of the recovery of all things. Whenever the scenery is appreciated, it is so pleasing to the eye. The only thing that doesn't match is the black smoke flying above the canal.

It was the fleet of the rebel Roland Wimbledon.

Unexpectedly, he actually dared to attack the king.

This made Weimas feel funny and gave birth to a little admiration.

Since the beginning of its establishment, this capital city has never encountered an attack for more than two hundred years. Any enemy who sees its magnificent bluestone walls will not be able to raise the courage to attack. Not everyone has the courage to dare to compete in the enemy's most dominant venue.

At least Feike. Wimbledon is not there.

Unfortunately, the other party is their own enemy.

The knight follows the glory. As the guardian knight of the king, he is given the responsibility of defending the capital, and he must fulfill his responsibilities.

"Jazz, the rebel king's fleet is coming!" A sergeant ran up the city.

"Don't be embarrassed, I have seen it for a long time," Weimar put down the lookout mirror and spit out his spit. "Through my command, the first cavalry and the second cavalry were on the back of the gate, and as for the mercenaries, let They will follow the cavalry team closely. When the gunpowder explodes, don't pee in the pants. The oil pan will also burn, although I don't think they have the ability to touch the wall."

The surrounding knights suddenly burst into laughter.

According to the scheduled plan, when the rebel forces occupy the dock, the flag will be shaken on the wall. At this time, the strong snow powder buried near the pier will be detonated, and the opponent will be lost and the chaos will be chaotic. At this time, open the gate again and launch a cavalry charge to lay the victory.

"The western villagers think that the kings are almost the same as their most magnificent long-song fortress. They can take it with a wooden ladder," said Iron Feather Skar. "I think you can save these firewood. Go home and burn."

"It’s a good thing." It’s a stupid thing. The jazz thought to himself that even if the oil and the rolling stones were not useful, they had to be put down and given to Fefco - because the enemy couldn’t come in and deal with it casually. The mentality of underestimating the enemy will soon be kicked out of the Knights of the Kings.

He lifted the lookout again and saw that the sailboat in the front of the fleet had left the team and headed for the dock alone. The black flame that emerged from the top of the head can be seen across several miles. There is no paddle on the side of the ship, and it is not clear how it works. But these are irrelevant, and noisy ships can't fight ashore.

The ship gradually slowed down and finally stopped slowly on the other side of the dock.

"What do they want to do?" Skar raised his eyebrows. "Is it difficult to land on the other side of the river? Wouldn't it be the militia of the hundred people who would scare the rebel lord?"

Weimas is also quite surprised. The average person sees that the dock defense is so weak that it should occupy the dock as soon as possible. He opened his mouth and was about to say something. The front of the weird ship suddenly lit up a fire.

- The orange flame heart is like a new morning light.
