"Company Commander, why are we attacking the fertilizer field? Grand Duke Marin once decreed that anyone who plotted to make a fertilizer farm should be punished for treason! Petrak's adjutant Hagasa asked, puzzled.

"Grand Duke Marin?" Petrak scoffed and continued:

"He's dead, Hagasa! And Captain Steindorff has already fallen out with Aurich, which is tantamount to treason. We are now going to snatch the secret of the fertilizer field in order to obtain the secret and dedicate it to the Legion Commander! "Petrak is worthy of being a company captain for a long time, and he is more cunning.

In normal times, he would definitely not dare to send troops casually. For his men may not listen to him and rebel with him.

However, this time, Steindorff fell out with Aurich on the surface in order to act, but gave him a chance.

None of the people below knew that it was acting at this time, and Petrak didn't know that it was acting. But it didn't matter, Petrak planned to take advantage of this opportunity to send the whole company of men in the name of "snatching secrets and dedicating them to the corps commander". Although the people below were puzzled, they thought that the commander of the legion had indeed fallen out with Aurich, so they followed Petrak out.

Petrak is also very good at fooling people, and he tells the soldiers of the company that if he grabs the secret of fertilizer and presents it to the commander, it will be a great achievement. And the commander of the legion is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in the future he may establish his own state in Schleswig. If you make meritorious service now, when the commander of the army becomes an official prince, he will have a good chance of being crowned......

Sure enough, this excuse touched a lot of people. Is it not long before you take risks as a soldier, except for salary and food, for fame? As a result, the entire company was fooled by Petrak.

But in fact, Petrak simply looked down on Steindorff, who was of civilian origin and "lowly blood". After getting the secret, he would take 50 of his cronies, snatch some horses, and then flee south with the secret......

……

In fact, the duke behind him did not let him snatch the secret of fertilizer at all, but only let him stand by in the Third Legion, and waited for an opportunity to prevent the Third Legion from moving south and the coalition forces of several princes as enemies.

But Petrak didn't think so, he knew that getting the secret of the fertilizer of the North Sea Country was a great achievement. If he waited for the army to go north and grab the secret of the fertilizer field, he would have nothing to do. Afterwards, he didn't get paid much. Therefore, this time, he took advantage of the chaos in Beihai Country to make a move and get the secret in advance, so as to maximize his own interests.

……

Just as the two were talking, a loud shout suddenly came from the fertilizer field:

"Who?"

Then, on the upper floor of the small town at the main gate of the fertilizer field, a soldier suddenly appeared on patrol at night.

When he saw a large group of people gathered outside the gate of the fertilizer processing plant, he was startled, and then shouted:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Petrak was so angry that he quickly picked up a spear and threw it as a javelin at the head of the city, piercing it into the night guard. However, he was dodged by the guards.

Then, in the barracks of the fertilizer field, 100 guards got up one after another, put on simple armor, took their weapons, and stood on the city wall.

Seeing that he couldn't sneak attack, Petrak simply switched to a strong attack. He drew his command knife and said loudly:

"Soldiers, attack!"

Jacob, the director of the fertilizer farm, saw that there were many enemies outside the fertilizer field, and he felt invincible. So, he commanded in a loud voice:

"Light a beacon fire and set off three signal flares (firecrackers) for help!"

Then, on the top of the highest watchtower in the fertilizer field, a large fire was lit, and the flames soared into the sky. At the same time, several three-shot cannon battles were ignited and exploded in mid-air......

In daylight, the sound of the cannonade may not be able to penetrate far and be drowned out by the noise. However, it was the middle of the night, and everything was silent. The sound of these artillery battles spread far and wide......

On the tower of the west gate of the city of Schleswig, the guards in charge of observation saw the fire in the distance, and the subsequent explosion (the speed of light is faster than the sound propagation), and was stunned at first, and then suddenly reacted:

"Oh no, there's something wrong with the fertilizer farm! Send someone to report! "The sentinels on the tower of the West Gate have a duty - to observe the movement of the fertilizer field......

……

Not to mention the reaction in the city of Schleswig, at this time, Petrak's company launched a fierce attack in the fertilizer field.

However, the walls of the fertilizer field are still very high, and the gate is strong, so it is difficult to break through. However, this did not stump Petrak......

"Come on, get on the powder keg!"

Petrak is a person who knows the famous demolition expert of the North Sea Country, Doni Tho. Zi Rui's also specially invited him to drink, and he had some skills in blasting the city gate.

So, just yesterday, he spent a lot of money to get a barrel of gunpowder from the commander of an artillery company who was also double-minded.

After the powder keg was brought, Petrak did not immediately let people blast it, but asked the death squad to dig a pit:

"A few of you, with a shield in one hand and a sapper shovel in the other, kill in front of the gate and dig a pit!"

Then, with a shield in one hand and a sapper shovel invented by Marin, a group of soldiers rushed to the gate and began to dig a pit......

It is also this fertilizer farm that is unlucky, and in order to facilitate the fertilization of farmland, fertilizer farms are generally established in places with many farmlands. Therefore, the front gate of the fertilizer field is generally dirt, and there are few stones.

So, it was convenient for Petrak's men to dig holes. Although more than half of the team died, the pit was dug down.

Then Petrak asked his cronies, carrying a powder keg and holding a door, to rush to the gate of the fertilizer field and light the fuse......

I only heard a "boom", and the big wooden door of the fertilizer field was blown up......

"Brothers, rush!" Petrak brandished his sword and yelled.

At the same time, in the fertilizer field, Jacob, the director of the farm, also yelled:

"The time has come for the Lord's loyalty, brothers, let me stop them! Reinforcements are back to save us! ”

……

However, the difference in combat effectiveness between the regular army and the militia is too great. Without the cover of the city walls, the fertilizer field was quickly breached. Even Jacob, the field leader, died heroically......

Petrak looked triumphantly at the hundreds of manure farm workers who had been captured, and asked triumphantly:

"Which of you knows the formula of the fertilizer? Say it and spare you from dying! ”

And the leading deputy field director Morico immediately spat on Petrak's face, and said angrily:

"Phew, you traitor! Dare to covet the secrets of the Beihai Kingdom, you wait for the whole family to be executed! ”

Petrak was furious and immediately drew his knife and stabbed Morrico with a single sword. Then, pulling out the sword that was still dripping blood, he threatened:

"Tell me the recipe for the fertilizer. Otherwise, die with him! ”

Hundreds of workers at the fertilizer farm looked at Petrak like fools......

"Huh? Defy? Want to die? Petrak raised his sword again......

"It's not...... My lord, the master and deputy head of the fertilizer farm know the specific formula. The captain was killed in the battle just now, and the one you stabbed to death was the deputy captain just now......" replied the worker who was pointed at Petrak's sword tremblingly.

"......" Petrak was so shocked that the knife in his hand fell to the ground......

A surge of blood welled up in his throat, and Petrak looked like a suicide at the moment......

Obviously, the deputy field director was captured, and he was not killed heroically, but was captured, which shows that Morrico's will to die is not strong. As long as the means are right, it is still possible to dig up the news. Unfortunately, Petrak didn't know the fertilizer farm, so the two of them knew the specific formula, thinking that the workers knew about it. Then, he killed Liwei and chose the wrong person and killed the insider......

"And what do you all know?" Petrak said angrily.

"The little people don't know much, but they know that every two months, the director or deputy director of the field will bring people to drive three things, one is dark black (dried and smellless manure), one is gray (apatite), and one is similar to salt, but it is not salt, and it is cool to eat (potassium sulfate). Then, the little people are mainly responsible for mixing the three things thoroughly, and then sending people to scatter them in the field......"

"You don't know what those three things are?" Petrak asked unrelentingly.

The workers shook their heads:

"At this time, the top secret of the fertilizer farm is high-level, and only the director and deputy director are qualified to know."

"Do you know where these three things came from?"

"I don't know, the field manager won't let us ask." Everyone shook their heads.

"Poof—" Petrak finally spurted out a mouthful of old blood......
