Those who stay must have proficient firing skills, because the cannon models designed by Christine are relatively large, and ordinary people can't play with them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is obviously impossible to let the soldiers of this group of transport teams go to fire at their own army, it is too late to chase that group of deserters, there are only two or three hundred people in the fleet who are proficient in artillery, they are the backbone of the future training artillery unit, Zheng Fei will not let them die here in vain.

In the face of Brad's questioning, Zheng Fei unhurriedly took out the wine jug and took a sip, looking up at the tree swaying in the wind at the top of the hillside, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

"We have to thank the weather today. ”

"Weather?" Following his gaze, Brad raised his head and stared at the sky, frowning in confusion: "It's sunny, but so what?"

"I mean the wind, it's not a lot of wind today, and it's blowing towards the sea. ”

After thinking for a moment, Brad suddenly brightened up and said with a smile: "Let the people who stay behind use the hot air balloon to escape after completing the mission?"

"Yes, according to the maps drawn at high altitude before, if the current wind direction is not changed, the hot air balloon will be able to fly all the way through the strait and into the vast expanse of the sea at the other end, where the fleet will be waiting for them. ”

"Well, what if the wind changes?"

"Then we can only part with them for the time being, with the altitude and speed of the hot air balloon, the enemy will definitely not be able to keep up with them, you can find a random place to land after getting rid of the pursuers, hire a carriage to the nearby town to go to the port, board the ship to London, and meet us there. ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will run away and never come back?"

"Huh. Zheng Fei pinched his face, looked at the ethereal clouds in the sky, and smiled indifferently: "I'm not a prison here, on the contrary, the treatment is much better than other places, and the people who will stay are people who have been with me for a long time, and they are reluctant to leave, I still have this confidence." ”

"Okay. When Brad finished his question, probably a little tired from standing, he found a rock and sat down to drink.

Zheng Fei rested for a while and began to arrange the next tasks.

Some of the 4,000 Spartan warriors were sent out to build positions, while others went to positions abandoned by deserters, and the cannons were brought in by the convoys' carts.

Two or three hundred artillerymen, dozens of people control a hill, and each hill can be called a giant turret.

Since the Arna Corps used mostly granite shells, rather than bursting shells with built-in explosives, as long as there was a solid position, the shells fired from the ground were basically zero threat, and occupying high ground could frantically suppress the ground troops.

Given that the Arna Legion also used rifled guns, Zheng Fei didn't need to think about secrecy, he asked Santiago to lead people to get two giant cannons that were transported from the naval port two days ago, and the devastating destructive power could not only instantly crush the enemy's charging formation, but also greatly demoralize the enemy.

Ten hours, as long as the people left behind can hold for ten hours, then even if the enemy takes the hill and finds out that he has been deceived, it will be too late.

After arranging all this, when people were trying their best to build a position, Zheng Fei hurriedly came to a small hillside, facing a desolate and magnificent wasteland, and sat down quietly.

The wind was blowing and it was very comfortable.

Here you can see the horizon in the distance, it may be land or sea, it doesn't matter, what matters is that it is the direction of the American continent.

He was as excited as he was on his first voyage to the Americas, from Lisbon, Portugal, the westernmost city on the European continent.

During that voyage, due to the lack of sextant positioning, I went around in a big circle, and accidentally bumped into the Azores, where I encountered all kinds of dangers and almost died on the snowy mountains, but fortunately I was saved by Santiago, and since then I have regarded that guy as a good brother in my heart.

In the Azores, there are a lot of benefits, such as gold and precious stones, all kinds of supplies, and the island's hostess Scarlett, who is a beautiful and sexy woman who still remembers that wonderful night with her.

Thinking of her, Zheng Fei remembered that he had left her in charge of the habitat in the Americas and hadn't been back for several months, what happened to the people in the habitat? Have you ever encountered an attack by a beast or an Indian tribe?

I hope God willing, this time I will go back with advanced warships, artillery and excellent talents like Christine Urban, and my defense and attack capabilities will be greatly improved.

Sitting on the hillside, Zheng Fei's heart swelled with a faint worry, and his thoughts were like dead leaves dancing in the wind, messy.

"Hey. Someone behind him called softly.

He turned his head and saw a figure he hadn't expected to appear here, Christine.

Christine stood alone behind him, with a look of wanting to say something on her face, as if she had a lot to say.

"Hello. Zheng Fei smiled lightly, shaking the wine jug to ask him if he wanted to drink.

Christine waved her hand in refusal, scratched her head in place for a while, and finally let out a breath and looked at him seriously: "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Zheng Fei asked with a smile.

"Thank you for saving me, not just my life, but my soul. ”

"Soul?"

"Hmm. As she spoke, Christine found a place to sit down on her own, her eyes swept over the vast wasteland, and her cheeks stared into the distant horizon.

"My life can be divided into three phases. For the first 20 years, I followed my father, and I went wherever he went, from my hometown town to the big city to Istanbul, and I went through many twists and turns and finally ended up like that. For the next two years, I wandered around the continent, and I was so carried away by hatred that I was hungry for revenge and was always looking for the right opportunity. For the last eight years, I devoted all my energy and time to the cause of revenge, living in a world where I thought I was supreme, dreaming of destroying the Ottoman Turks and becoming the master of Europe. ”

At this, Christine stopped, smiled bitterly in annoyance, and fell into deep thought.

"Then your great cause of revenge has been ruined by me, don't you hate me?"

"Hate you, why hate you? It was you who saved my soul from revenge and arrogance, and you brought my father with you. Even if you don't come to Denmark, even if the expedition is successful, I can't be the master, I will only lose my life. Christine smiled slightly, a bitter smile.

"Still. After a pause, he added, "Still, I want to ask you a very serious question." ”

"Just ask. Zheng Fei nodded happily. (To be continued.) )
