Chapter 176: Four Hundred

"What a bullshit legend of Harvest Town, I'm going to find someone to seal it!"

The city lord's mansion of saltpeter town, the city lord of Murphy roared loudly at the door, roaring the ordinary lion soldier in front of him until his eardrum ruptured, and the red blood flowed out of the earhole, and he fainted directly.

The city lord slapped it over, waking up the ordinary lion soldiers.

"Yes, the little one understands, go do it immediately!" His legs trembled, and he was terrified.

The guard gritted his teeth, his ears couldn't hear what the city lord was saying for the time being, and his ears were rumbling.

But he knew that he should not take it, and there was definitely a second roar, and his life was in danger such as cutting off his head.

"Send the storyteller to the city gate to be hanged, and show it to the public on the spot, so that all the orcs know that they are afraid!"

Lord Murphy angrily kicked the messenger's ordinary guard, telling him to get out.

The ordinary guards really got out, and the city lord who was kicked by the awakened person flew away, rolling three meters before stopping.

"What's the trouble with this, Lord Murphy, why don't you go to the royal city with me, it's not safe here."

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a smiling lion man squinted, looking from the beginning to the end, and saw the process of the city lord's brain becoming angry.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the last crusade against Tomorrow Town, which used my Templars, I wouldn't have had such a hard time finding some 'rats' right now." Lord Murphy was upset, but he had to do it.

The last time the coalition forces attacked Tomorrowtown, the city lord of Saltpeter Town also sent out more than 100 Templars, but unexpectedly, those paladins were gone, and the top combat power of Saltpeter Town was greatly reduced.

The lion's awakening rate is very confused, roaring more bad voices, roaring less and not comprehending the mystery of awakening, causing the Lionheart Sanctuary to spend a huge amount of throat herbs every day to train the reserve knights and enhance the strength of their throat muscles.

"Don't talk about this, City Lord Murphy, let me ask you again, do you want to go to the royal city with me?" The squinting-eyed lionmen were upset when they looked at Murphy's ecological appearance, because they were still the same Templars who had been ordained Templars in the same class, and they had become like this in the face of major setbacks.

"Parker, if you don't say go, I can go, my family has a big business, what do I rely on to eat when I go to Wangcheng, and if I am not pressed under the king's city bigwigs, then I might as well be happy in saltpeter town." Murphy was reluctant to leave, but Parker's position was justified.

Tomorrow the town will be strong, and it will be attacked soon, and they will have to evacuate in the next two or three days.

"Then I don't care about you, I'll withdraw now anyway." Parker shook his head.

Parker is the concubine of the great nobles of Saltpeter Town, and his family business is not much worse than that of the city lord, and even so, he has sold most of his family business and moved with his whole family.

Because he had been to Tomorrow Town, seen the power of the cannon and musket, and had a new understanding of the force of Tomorrow Town, he did not dare to gamble with his life.

Anyway, muskets were also developed on the royal side, and now the king has issued a requisition order to the whole country, and the blacksmiths from all over the country are requisitioned into the royal city.

Parker believes that Lionheart will be able to defeat Tomorrowtown by using the power of the whole country to build muskets, so he decides to run to the royal city to avoid the limelight.

Buzzing, the stone grains on the ground trembled slightly.

Boom, there was a loud sound in the distance, like the sound of muffled thunder, and like the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Lord Murphy and Parker Lionman frowned, not knowing what was happening, and thinking it was a slight earthquake.

"It's not good, it's not good, tomorrow town is killing outside the city!"

Before the messenger arrived, the voice first entered the city lord's mansion, and the city lord's face changed slightly.

Parker reacted more violently, gritted his teeth, and immediately ran out.

Unleash the horse at the gate, mount your own horse, and gallop in the opposite direction of the city gate.

Parker's family has already set off for half a day, and if they don't run now, when will they run.

He didn't want to care about the life or death of the Murphy City Lord anymore, and asked before leaving, it was righteous enough, and he couldn't delay it any longer.

Murphy hadn't realized the gravity of the situation, and the lionmen who participated in the new merchandise auction last time were all businessmen and merchants' personal guards, and people like the lord of Saltpeter Town didn't follow, so he was skeptical about the power of firearms in Tomorrowtown.

A cannon bombarded the wall like paper paste, and the range was as long as 500 meters, and he didn't believe it anyway.

He only believed if the power of the cannon was reduced by five times and the range was doubled.

The lord of the city on horseback ran a few roads, but before he reached the city gate, he saw the city gate disappear in the distance.

There is a black iron ball in the middle of the main road of the city gate, and the fragments of the wooden gate are messily placed next to it.

The lion soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, not daring to stand in the center, as if they were a little afraid of the huge iron ball.

"What's the situation, why is the gate broken?" The Murphy City Lord chuckled in his heart, this is the cannon weapon of Tomorrowtown?

At the same time, most of the soldiers gathered towards the ruptured East Gate.

The forces at the North Gate became empty, and the cat-eared orcs inside took the opportunity to appear, assassinate the guards, and then opened the North Gate, fleeing Saltpeter Town with the inhabitants of the city.

The other lionmen didn't know about the incident at the North City Gate, and still rushed to Murphy's side with their heads down.

"Come on, who will tell me what's going on!"

Murphy's heart and liver were about to burst, and he couldn't help but roar loudly in fear to hide the horror in his heart.

"Lord of the City, the city gate was broken by the strange iron ball of Tomorrow Town, how can this be hit?"

"How to fight, you ask me how to fight?" The lord of the city rode close to the city gate, and just across the city gate, he saw rows of orcs in green uniforms outside the city.

The green-clad men had cat ears on their heads and spears in their hands.

Murphy reckoned that the spears were legendary muskets, with a range of 100 meters, capable of piercing through plate armor.

I don't know if the musket is real, anyway, the wooden door has been blown by a big iron ball, and it is estimated that it is real.

But Murphy took a cursory sweep and found that the other party's orcs were not too many, and there were about four hundred people, and the distance from the city gate was between one hundred and two hundred meters, and this distance could be smashed with a trebuchet.

Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed, how did these people defend the city and let the enemy run to the city gate.

At this time, a fanatical subordinate knelt down on one knee and pleaded: "Lord Murphy, the enemy army is only about 400 people in total, what are we afraid of, let's charge directly!" ”

"Yes, our own city gates have been broken by others, is there any point in us defending the city, it's better to charge."

The surrounding cavalry looked angry and wanted to lead the charge.

Because the city lord transferred troops back to the town two or three days in advance, and requisitioned a group of militia by the way, there are now as many as 700 infantry and 300 cavalry in the town.

The cavalry needed horses, which were not easy to raise, and the nearby hills and terrain meant that there were domesticated horses in the steppes only around the royal city, so horses were a scarce resource in the eastern region.

When the city lord heard the joint proposal of the cavalry, he also felt that there was no way out.

Either run away on horseback now, or Bo Yibo and charge with the cavalry who dare to die!

Murphy stared at the cat-eared orcs, and saw that they were not wearing heavy armor, not even light armor, and his heart moved.

Here's a chance!

Not wearing armor and wearing armor are completely two different concepts, as long as one hundred of his three hundred cavalry rush into the pile, each of them can cut down at least ten unarmored orcs!

Moreover, there are a few Templar seedlings left behind, which can be used as killer weapons in it, and when the cavalry guesses successfully, with the combat power of the paladin, like a lion entering a group of cats, he will go on a killing spree!

But I heard that their firearms are very powerful, and they can even penetrate plate armor.

Murphy looked at his soldiers, and they all had angry expressions, expressions of despair.

It is really arrogant to want to provoke Saltpeter Town with only four hundred people.

To bet, or not to bet?

Murphy City Lord's face changed, staring at the green-clad orcs outside the city, and hesitated for a while.

There had been no movement outside the city, and after the soldiers of Tomorrowtown opened the wall gate, the whole team stood stupidly, as if waiting for them to charge.

Provocation, this is absolutely bare contempt!

Murphy slapped his thigh and roared:

"Listen to my orders, the infantry will block the city gate first, watch them!"

"If the cavalry doesn't wear plate armor, go back and wear plate armor! The heavily armored knights lead the horses, put on heavy armor, and the heavy cavalry will be in front of the platoon, responsible for opening the way, and the cavalry without armor horses will be responsible for harvesting! ”

The lord of the city roared like thunder and made a final decision.

All the lion soldiers found their backbones and moved in full.
