Chapter 50: The curtain opens
As soon as the sky was faintly bright, someone came to Roy's tent: "My lord, a brother was injured a little last night while cleaning up the lost. ”
"Is it serious? If it doesn't work, send someone back. ”
Roy got dressed and casually commanded.
"It's that kid who refuses to go back, his temperament is quite digging, he has to stay, he was bitten, it's not too serious, and he cleaned it up with source stone powder. ”
"Well, let the brothers be careful, you can kill with air guns, these newcomers haven't trained for many days, you don't expect them to hold up this battle. ”
"Okay, I'll let them know. "After reporting the damage from last night's battle, the visitor returned to his place.
"Anything else?" Roy asked, opening the tent and continuing.
"None"
Roy nodded, and saw Iter running over again.
"My lord, my subordinates have come to report that a group of people came out of the White Eagle Fort in the morning and burrowed into the Ghost Leaf Forest, and our people didn't dare to follow too closely, and they didn't know what they were doing inside. ”
"Okay, it's okay, whatever they do in there, it's going according to yesterday's arrangement. ”
"Yes!" Ite replied and began to arrange his work.
Carey didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning, and chatting with the night watch, and didn't fall asleep until late.
I was woken up at dawn by the sound of soldiers in action.
"Good morning, any news for the morning?"
Carey took his own breakfast, a light bowl of cereal, a piece of bread that was somewhat dry and hard.
Roy also took a bite of wheat porridge, smiled and said, "Hmm...... I think I'm still a little too high on Cliff, and I'm starting to act early in the morning, so I'm probably already in a hurry to fight us. ”
As the team progressed, Roy arranged for several veterans to stay behind as whistle eyes, and told them to return to camp if there was no support after dark.
In the end, it was decided to let Ben, Chestnut, and Iter bring six newcomers to stay.
After all, the artillery had not been tested, and although Carey said that the method was actually similar to that of the musket, he was still a little uneasy.
With Iter here, his steady temperament can deal with unexpected situations very well.
Before leaving, Roy patted Iter on the shoulder: "Be careful, after all, it's a new type of weapon, I don't know what accidents will happen." ”
Iter nodded, and led the people to a relatively gentle slope, with a wide field of vision and a good view of the direction in which the enemy would come to help.
After pulling back the sackcloth, he recalled over and over again some of the notes that Lord Carey had told him.
He placed the extremely heavy black iron balls next to the artillery.
In fact, the steps were very simple, but he couldn't help but review the steps of firing in his mind.
"Deputy team, don't worry, every thing made by Lord Kairi is extremely amazing, even if this big guy can't do it, isn't there still fire thunder and muskets, it's enough to wait for support. ”
"That's right, Chestnut, are your injuries better?"
"Eh, how can I be considered an injury, compared to the first, I was only slightly injured, but the lord personally sent meat and rice, which made my parents very happy. ”
"Haha, Lord Roy still cares about his subordinates. ”
"Deputy team, I've been envious of you since I was a child, can you tell us about the adults?"
......
Roy led the large army to the Ghost Leaf Forest, stopped the large army, and told everyone to lay down their weapons and go to cut down trees.
All the guards were stunned: cut down trees?
Did an adult take the wrong medicine in the morning?
"If you are told to go, go quickly, what is the ink?!"
Taylor was stunned when he saw this, and suddenly became angry.
was yelled at by Taylor, and suddenly everyone subconsciously took out tools from the marching cloth bag and began to clear the trees in the Ghost Leaf Forest.
"My lord, I found a barrel of oil here! buried in the ground!"
"My lord, I have it here!"
"Dig it for me, and you can take it home when you dig it out!" Roy smiled and added, "Remember to identify if it's edible oil, and don't bring everything home!"
More than 100 people frantically cut down the trees to clean up, and after spending most of the day, they cut down the ghost leaf forest, which was not very lush, and through the gaps, they could already see the White Eagle Fort towering on the edge of the cliff in the distance.
......
White Eagle Fort
"What are they doing? It stands to reason that they should have seen it a long time ago!"
Cliff had a big head, he waited for almost a day, but he didn't receive any news, and he was a little addicted to alcohol.
"My lord, they seem to be cutting down trees...... Cliff walked up to the city wall, looked into the distance, and found that the ghost leaf forest had become much more sparse at some point, and he could vaguely see people walking in the forest.
"Why are you still stunned?!Throw me flint!"
Cliff patted the head of the black axe and said eagerly.
Has your plan been guessed? Or has someone leaked it?
"Why didn't anyone report this before?"
"As soon as our people leave the White Eagle Castle, they will be hit by something I don't know, and they won't be able to get close at all. ”
The black axe knelt on the ground and told the truth.
"Damn, this little fox is so cunning, shoot a few flints first!" Cliff said hatefully.
In a few moments, the flint was launched from the interior of the White Eagle Castle, drawing a graceful arc from the sky and slamming into the front of the Ghost Leaf Forest.
The huge impact caused a slight shaking.
"Withdraw, all come back!" Roy ordered when he saw the flint of Fort White Eagle fire.
"It's a pity that those barrels of oil are quite wasteful. Roy sighed rather regretfully.
In fact, as long as they are given another half an hour, the oil buried in White Eagle Fort is estimated to be cleaned up.
The excited guards who were digging behind him heard this exclamation, and they also nodded in agreement, and whispered: "Indeed!"
They didn't understand why they had come to fight, but when it was almost there, they asked them to cut down trees, and halfway through the cut of trees, they started digging for oil again.
They are digging happily, but they can only retreat, although they are young, but they are not stupid.
Seeing the burning stones falling from the sky, you know that these oil drums must be buried here by the people of White Eagle Castle.
"Alright, all ready for battle, there could be a battle at any time!" Roy didn't let up because the first flint was missed.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent cannon roar shook the earth behind him, and even though it was ten kilometers away, the roar like a god's wrath could still be heard.
"The sound of artillery?" Roy instantly turned to look at Carey, seeking answers.
"Yes, I think so. Carey nodded.
"This ......" Roy took a light breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief knowing that it was not an unexpected situation.
Then, everyone heard several consecutive cannon shots again, which made many people itch to see what was going on over there.
"Hurry! Still stunned! The array during the practice is lined up! What about the horse rejection pile? ! Do you still need me to teach you?!"
Roy's reminder once again pulls the group back to reality, and the movement quickly begins to complete their mission.
After he reminded him, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I'm also curious about the situation over there." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be able to experience it sooner or later, it seems that I should act too, while it is still dark. ”
Carey called out to Pierre and several of the guards who had been following him before.
"It's strange that there is also the smell of defectors in the White Eagle Castle, strange!" Pierre frowned as he looked at the White Eagle Castle in the distance.
