870. Chapter 870 siege war

    The sound of the brass horn came from a distance, breaking the silence of the noon, like the omen, and the birds in the courtyard stopped screaming, and the castle hall seemed dull and boring.

    William Borg Duke knows that the time for the decisive battle is here.

    He looked away from Timothy Your Majesty’s mural and turned to look at a delicate body armor – the grandmother passed down by his grandfather, who had been patched and polished in his hands, and each piece was immersed in grease. It can be almost equal to another layer of skin.

    The right arm is engraved with a small line of words, which is the family’s rumor: “Loyalty is not forgotten.”

    He was wearing this armor, and in the melee, he was stunned by the old Duke of the rebellion, and was sealed by Your Majesty as the new eastern region.

    Although Timothy has fallen, the guardianship will not be interrupted.

    He will never live up to this honor.

    “Duke, the staff of Fourth Prince has moved closer to Golden Harvest City, and no traces of large firearms have been found in the team.”One of the men walked into the hall and reported to him.

    “Very good,” William nodded. “Notify others that they are in place. I will pass right away.”

    OK

    Then he took off his coat and went to the armor and said to his Chief Knight Kalina, “Peace for me.”

    “Yes,” the woman rolled up her sleeves and began to dress up for him. The rough boss hands, covered with scorpions, are now soft water, gently fading his coat and lining. It’s hard to imagine that in the battle, Kalina also used this both hands to hold a long gun and pierce the enemy with a shield.

    Whenever I saw it, this scene made him intoxicated.

    “You…Regret? ”

    “Of course not, adults,” Kalina said quietly. “When you decide to have a woman as your Chief Knight, I decided to stay with you forever, no matter what happens, I will do my part.” ”

    “But this time the enemy is stronger than ever, if you can–” Duke said halfway, and was interrupted by a belt that was tightened at the waist.

    “Since you know your opponent is strong, why do you want to reject the Lord of Dawn’s covenant? If you don’t agree, you will also blast the envoy out of Golden Harvest City. If you know it, you will blame you for not knowing what to do. ”

    “Hey, let’s not say that the help of Shining Light City can withstand the army of Fourth Prince. It is enough to let me provide the harbor for his people to stay in.”William grinned. “The eastern region is the territory that Your Majesty has given me. What is the difference between giving Anpei Moore and giving Roland Wimbledon? If I really agree to each other, it will also disappoint Your Majesty’s trust. ”

    “Then my answer is the same,” Kalina said without hesitation. “Loyalty is not the unique quality of the Borg family. Adults, please don’t mention those words any more, otherwise it will be no different to me.”

    William was silent for a while before he said, “Unfortunately most of today noble has forgotten this…I understand, you will follow me. Although the opponents are strong, I will not let them easily win the Golden Harvest City – I have been waiting for this battle for a long time. ”

    “Yes, adults.”Female Knight chuckled.

    “Bale!”He shouted the name of the secret official, “Come to me!”

    Outside the hall, I walked away in a bald middle-aged man. “Adult, what do you have to order?”

    “Give me a good record. After a night’s rest, Roland Wimbledon’s minions officially launched an infringement today at Golden Harvest City. Eastern region Guardian, Golden Spike Duke William Borg In the name of the first king, decided to block the enemy’s pace. His Chief Knight Kalina Wayne is also with him, and his courage and loyalty are unmistable – Gods bless them. ”William paused, “Of course…If you think this description is somewhat subjective, the last sentence can not be written. ”

    Bale nodded and used the charcoal pen that he carried with him to quickly record the statement of the feudal lord on the book. “I think it’s okay to add it, adult.” There is no absolute objective record in this world. I am the secret official of Golden Harvest City. It is not surprising that there is a slight bias. Or, this is an objective part. ”

    “Let’s keep it, but after that, no matter what the outcome, you have to record it truthfully, understand?”William stressed, “It is your mission to carry the complete cause and completeness of this incident.”

    “Please rest assured, adult,” secret official said. “I will let the world remember this history.”

    William stopped talking, lifted the steel sword hanging on the wall, and walked outside the castle without looking back.

……

    The two climbed onto the watchtower of the city wall, the bonfire was already burning, and the grease tumbling in the pot, giving a pungent smell. The soldiers are busy up and down, smashing the stone and the wooden frame.

    According to Kingdom Capital’s experience in World War I, Roland’s most threatening siege is a snow powder weapon called cannon, which has a range far beyond the trebuchet until the city falls, and Your Majesty fails to imitate similar products. . On the day when Kingdom Capital was broken, Timothy gave the snow powder formula, weapon principle and manufacturing method to William, the purpose of which is self-evident.

    After Duke took over, he put a lot of energy and money into it, and found some restrictions. For example, cannon itself is very heavy and needs to rely on a flat terrain to exert its power. In addition, the erection process is very slow and depends on the protection of the musket. In other words, it is more suitable for defense than for offense.

    In order to meet the war that came sooner or later, William was ready to do so. In addition to widening the city walls and installing barbeds, he also sent people to dig all the roads in the suburbs, and poured water into the farmland to make it a moor. There are also many dark piles in the Sanwan River, making it difficult for the inland rivers above the single raft to pass. Two years of tidying has completely changed the surrounding environment. Now, let alone the car and horse, it is quite laborious to walk on the back.

    Although the cost is quite heavy – the road disruption has caused the prosperity of the commerce city to cease to exist, and the shrinkage of the farmland area has dropped dramatically, but the benefits are obvious. At least in the team where the enemy is slowly approaching, he does not see one. Cannon exists.

    Obviously the other party has also realized that it is almost impossible to drag cannon to the wall without first trimming a road.

    The next step is undoubtedly a hard battle.

    The enemy’s lance fires very fast, but there is no cover under the city, and the barbs on the wall, it is not easy to climb up. On the contrary, he has four trebuchets and two large cannons in the city, especially the latter, which can attack enemy troops within a thousand steps. Under the circumstance, the outcome is not known.

    “They are coming,” Kalina reminded.

    Along with her voice, a group of soldiers dressed in brown blouses lined up and circled in the direction of the city gate—they were not fast and their steps were exceptionally firm. Soon, this group of people lost the uniformity of the lineup because of the muddy ground. The twos and threes were scattered like the old farmers who were cultivating in the ground. In addition to the gray-black rifle on their backs, they also have barrels with thick thighs, but from a weight perspective, it is definitely not a cannon.

    William estimated the distance, raised the red flag, and swung down.

    “The giant stone cannon, launch!”
