"Beat him! Beat him! Ryder, you **** beat him!"

"Go on, beat this **** to teeth!"

Lavier leads to the north, in the Alessim Manor, in the first legion resident. At this time, a fighting competition is being held. It is said that it is a fighting competition, but it is not always true, because it is more like a fight, surrounded by everyone. The two soldiers surrounded by a circle were naked, showing their strong bodies, and engaged in a fist-to-fight fight with each other, and the soldiers around them all placed a bet on the outcome of the fight, in order to win the bet. , They also yelled with the soldiers in the circle.

Regarding this situation, the legion commander Charles did not stop. To be precise, he was also willing to see all this, and stood on the periphery to watch the fighting situation in the circle, and secretly cheered for the one he was fancy.

Why would Charles and his half of the legion be stationed here? This is also a long story. After conquering Migsburg, the capital of the regiment, after a few days of repairs, Charles once again led the army to march northward and advance to Sukenya.

After marching to the vicinity of Alesim Manor, they encountered and defeated an army from the Kingdom of Fayle, and then stationed in this long-owner manor to deal with the captured Fayle soldiers.

While watching the fight in the arena, a light cavalry rushed into the army garrison on a horse. The soldiers on duty just wanted to step forward to stop him, but saw that the soldier on the horse took out a scroll from his arms and shouted. Said: "With the order of His Majesty Caesar, come and deliver military orders."

Hearing that, the soldiers did not stop, they made a gesture and let the messenger continue to ride horses in the camp. This messenger rode a fast horse and ran into the barracks area, watching the soldiers who gathered together and yelling presumptuously from time to time, frowned slightly, and then condescendingly asked a middle-aged soldier in plain clothes standing next to the horse. Said: "Soldier, I'm looking for your commander, Earl Charles, where is he?"

"Looking for Earl Charles?" The middle-aged soldier who was questioned gave him a puzzled look. After seeing his costume and the scroll in his hand, he said in a displeased tone: "I am the commander Charles of this legion. Soldier, you'd better dismount and talk to me, or I will let you never even want to ride a horse."

"Huh?" The messenger turned over and got off his horse quickly, put away the arrogance he had just received, half-kneeled in front of Charles, handed the scroll to the other person, and said: "Sorry, Lord Earl, I don't know it is you."

Charles ignored the messenger of apology. He directly took the scroll handed by the other party, unwrapped the red thread tied on it, and carefully examined it after spreading it out. With the passage of time, the expression on his face became heavier and heavier after reading it. , He put away the scroll and asked the messenger who was still half-kneeling: "Where are Your Majesty Caesar and his army now?"

"According to the estimated distance, it should have been stationed in Tus City." The messenger replied respectfully, bowing his head.

"Okay, I see. Get up." Charles said, and while returning the scroll to the messenger, he called out his lieutenant: "Derek, gather the army now, we should go!"

"Yes, Lord Earl!"

As soon as his voice fell, Lieutenant Derek’s voice came from a distance. Upon closer inspection, the Lieutenant who had followed Charles since he was summoned was also naked. While he was wearing clothes, he squeezed out of the crowd, waiting. After answering Charles, he shouted the assembly order to the soldiers around him.

As soon as they heard the order to gather, the soldiers who were in the surrounding area scattered like birds, flying beasts, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the two soldiers in the field still sticking together. When Derek saw him, he was not angry, and he went forward and kicked two people heavily. The latter was kicked and did not respond. He just wanted to fight back unanimously, but saw that it was Lieutenant General Delhi. K, was so scared that he ran away quickly, causing Derek to scold again and again.

Seeing all this, Charles couldn't help but laugh. He invited Derek, who was still cursing, and said: "My dear General Derek, go and put on your armor. We are about to usher in a big battle soon."

"Yes, Lord Earl." Derek promised, glanced at the messenger standing behind Charles, then turned and left. After he left, Charles turned to the messenger and said, "Soldiers, get ready, we need your guidance."

"Yes."

...

While Charles led the army into action, Richard had already stationed in the city of Tuss, and urgently repaired the riddled walls that were bombarded by artillery. In addition, he was also inspecting the materials in the city, including Food storage and defense resources. Fortunately, the food stored in the city of Tuss is still enough for this half of the legion to hold on for several months, and the defense resources were not used much when Richard attacked, so most of them can still be used.

The only problem was the riddled wall that was bombarded by artillery. Although Richard ordered the soldiers to repair the wall, it could not be repaired much in a short period of time. A few days later, when the coalition soldiers approached the city, the walls of Tus seemed to be covered with dog skin plaster, one piece after another, very ugly.

Because the walls of Tuss could not withstand the recoil generated by the artillery fire, Richard did not dismantle the eighteen artillery pieces of the generals and slam them at the head of the city to defend against the enemy~lightnovelpub.net~ but in order to cope with the enemy's attack In the city, he still chose to collect all the black gunpowder that the artillery unit brought, collected a large number of clay pots from the city, put the gunpowder in the pots, and made them into simple grenade for use when defending the city.

If there is no suitable carrier, Richard even wants to imitate the "unconscionable artillery" made by the People's Liberation Army. This kind of cannon is made of gasoline drums and can be filled with a large amount of explosives. This kind of homemade cannon is effective. With a range of two hundred meters, the explosives fired can kill the enemy in an instant, and the power is very huge. Richard learned of this kind of artillery while reading a book of the War of Resistance against Japan. Since then, the conscience artillery has left a deep impression in his heart.

...

Five days after the siege, the coalition forces outside the city of Tooth began to attack the city. The emergency rush on the 5th made the coalition forces produce a large number of simple ladders and siege hammers. Although they did not have the craftsmanship for making siege towers, it was also reasonable. Chad posed a big threat.

Listening to the dull and long horns outside the city, the civilian archers, Great Shield Crossbowmen, and heavily armored sergeants deployed on the city wall were nervous. Surge up and down, swallowing the saliva secreted by tension. Behind them, the chaplain attached to the army stood up in time, holding the Bible and the scepter, and inspiring and appeasing these brave soldiers in the name of God.
