Release that Witch

503. Chapter 503 Battle Capital (on)

    “His Highness, there is a team stationed in the dock area,” said Lightning, who is responsible for monitoring the enemy’s situation. “The number is around 100, and it looks like a militia.”

    “Only 100 people?”Roland is a little surprised, it is not surprising that Timothy will be deployed in the outskirts of the dock. The vast fleet will drive through Scarlet Water City and Silver Light City, which will surely be noticed. 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 to the pigeon, and Timothy 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 launched at 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 the inland river gunship before the spring offensive. The efficiency of waterway transportation is far superior to 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 – Timothy impossible knows the range and power of the 152mm gun.

    Thinking of this, Roland called Silvy over. “Is there a Berserker drug pill on militia?”

    Silvy summoned Magic Eye to watch for a while. “I didn’t find anything like a ball. Some of them didn’t even have a weapon, but…It seems strange in the ground. ”

    “In the ground?”

    “They buried something under the ground… there are also on the dock,” Silvy said, “It’s an earthen jar and a wooden barrel…It is filled with dark gray powder. ”

    “This is…gunpowder?”Nightingale couldn’t help but speak out.

    “So that’s it, that makes sense,” Roland said with a pretense. “A hundred people’s militia team is just a bait that Timothy sent to attract our attention. The real purpose is to let us seize this rare opportunity. Landing on the beach, capturing the dock, then detonating the gunpowder and sending us together with the dock.”

    Although it is easy to say, but he does not think so, this tactic similar to the ancient mine warfare is indeed a good plan, even if you see the clues, you always have to disembark – since the choice of water transport, the dock is a must Through the road, Timothy 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 it weren’t for Silvy, I might have a big loss.

    However, since it was discovered in advance, it is still easy to solve. Without the wireless detonation technology, Timothy will inevitably arrange the ignition personnel in the hollow of the gunpowder bucket, as long as they are resolved in advance. In any case, the dock must be guaranteed, otherwise neither cannon nor ammunition can be transported to land.

    Under Silvy’s meticulous observation, Roland found two suspected fire points, one in a shack on the side of the dock, one under the ground leading to the nearest gunpowder bucket, and the other in the dock’s warehouse. What they have in common is that there are dark black holes caused by God Punishment Stone moving.

    After discussing the results with Iron Axe, the operational plan was quickly determined.

    First sneaked into the warehouse by Nightingale, quietly killing the ignitor and holding the door to prevent possible replacements from igniting the gunpowder. Then use the gun to destroy the shack, even if the explosive under the ground is detonated in advance, it doesn’t matter – as long as the dock is safe and sound, it will be alright.

*******************

    Leaning against the wall of the Kingdom Capital West Wall, Knight Steel Heart Welmes lifted the telescope 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.

    That is the rebel King Roland Wimbledon’s fleet.

    Unexpectedly, he actually dared to attack Kingdom Capital.

    This made Welmes 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 Timothy Wimbledon Your Majesty is not there.

    Unfortunately, the other party is their own enemy.

    Knight follows the glory. As the guardian Knight of Kingdom Capital, he is given the responsibility of defending the capital, and he must fulfill his responsibilities.

    “Jazz, the fleet of rebel King is coming!”A squire ran up the city.

    “Don’t be embarrassed, I have seen it for a long time,” Welmes put down the telescope and spit out the spit. “Through me, the first cavalry and the second cavalry are on the back of the city gate. As for the group of mercenary, let them follow closely. The cavalry team then it will be alright, when the gunpowder explodes, don’t pee. In addition, the oil pans are also burned, although I don’t think they have the ability to touch this wall. ”

    The surrounding Knight suddenly sneered.

    According to the scheduled plan, when the rebel King troops occupy the dock, the flag will be shaken on the wall. At this time, the strong snow powder buried in the dock is detonated, and the opponent will be lost and the chaos will be chaotic. At this time, turn on the city gate and launch the cavalry charge to lay the victory.

    “Western Region’s group of townships probably thought that Kingdom Capital was about the same as their most magnificent Longsong Stronghold, and they could take it with a wooden ladder,” Knight Iron Feather Skal said. “I think you can save these firewood, Go home and burn.”

    “Be prepared.”It’s an idiot. The jazz thought to himself that even if the oil and the rolling stones didn’t come in handy, they had to be put out to Timothy Your Majesty. Because the enemy couldn’t coe in, it’s too late to deal with this mentality. Will be kicked out of the Kingdom Capital Knight by Your Majesty.

    He lifted the telescope again and saw that the no-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 opposite side of the dock.

    “What do they want to do?”Skal raised his eyebrows, “Is it possible want to land on the other side of the river? Wouldn’t the militia team of the hundred people be scared of His Highness Rebel King? ”

    Welmes is also quite surprised. When people see the dock defense so weak, they should take up 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.

    – The orange flame is like a new Dawn.
