Chapter 30 Recuperate
After selling the most difficult artifacts first, Barrett received a 'Dry-Filled Powder Corner' and a 'Human Transformation Potion'. Although Barrett himself doesn't need to 'dry fill the powder corner', this thing is much better than the previous corpse skin shield.www.biquge.info
In the Western Continent, gunpowder weapons are indeed a notoriously expensive consumable, but for some natives who are not good at fighting and research, this is also an effective way to improve their combat effectiveness. What about spending money, you don't need to invest too much training, you can threaten those professional martial artists who have been training for many years, no matter how you look at it, it's a worthwhile thing.
The 'Dry Fill Powder Corner' gives those who use muskets the ability to fight in the water. What's more, with this artifact, those primitive excitation muskets won't lose their effectiveness in the rain - although there are full-brake guns and even infinite bullet guns in this world. But their prices are absolutely desperate, and even the gunners who think they have money can't afford them.
The same bottle of the 'Human Transformation Potion of Megamagic' didn't work for Barrett either. Because this character of his is no longer in the category of 'human' in terms of blood. Fortunately, there are still quite a few humans in the army, and Barrett is not worried that this thing will not be sold at all.
A big victory is often followed by an all-night revelry and a long rest, but at the moment everyone is still on the land of the Lucia Kingdom, and the royal family of Norhan does not know whether Lucia will use any hole cards that they do not know. So even the celebration after the big victory was very restrained.
The soldiers gathered together according to their territory and had their own bonfires. In order to ensure that they do not miss things because of the drinks, the banquet after the victory is very strict about the control of drinks. Less than 300 milliliters of ale per person clearly did not satisfy the soldiers. However, the consistently strict military discipline forced them to suppress their dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Barrett was wearing his armor and chewing on the dried meat that the quartermaster had prepared for him outside the camp. This kind of jerky is different from the same kind that can only be used to make soup, and it is difficult to swallow when eaten. It's closer to real-life snacks like dried meat. Not only were the spices used, but the workmanship was also complex - it was by no means a universal meal that could be supplied to the average soldier.
In fact, even a quasi-nobleman like Barrett couldn't eat these special supplies at any time after the war. And tonight, because these strong people took the initiative to take on the security work, so they got a special quota.
That's right, it's the nobles and quasi-nobles of the Norhan Kingdom who are responsible for the security of the army tonight. The reason why this quasi-militaristic country, which pursues the Songun policy, has been able to maintain until now that the people at the bottom still maintain a strong desire to join the army. In addition to the fair military merit system and the visible upward channel, the example of the nobles is also a very important reason.

Knight Crisp Felder looked to be about thirty years old, of medium height. He wore a blue blouse over his armor and a wide cowhide belt around his waist; This gives the blouse a tight-fitting effect. However, this kind of dress can only be called alternative and not beautiful, of course, this may be a personal aesthetic difference!
His upper body was not wearing the heavy plate armor of a knight, but the fact that the cuirass was paired with chain mail. At this time, his well-developed muscles protruded sharply on his shoulders and arms; Even the custom-made chain mail was made like a straitjacket by its bulging muscles, adding to his strong spirit.
It's just that he has this short hair, and the stubble is thick and black; On the round face, under the broad thick eyebrows, a pair of shrewd, deep eyes flashed. When I was talking to the Knight of Ovaltine just now, I showed a mouth full of white teeth, which was very noticeable in this era. On the whole, he was more like a sturdy and handsome northeastern peasant of the era before Georgie's crossing. As for the peasants in the south, it is not that they are not handsome, but in terms of their sturdiness, the number of them still feels like they are a little behind.
As he stretched out his fan-sized palm, he removed a 16-pound buckshot from a wooden frame in the corner of the wall. All the people around them were scattered, and they should have known what the other party was going to do in advance.
These buckshots were custom-made by Knight Crisp Felder to get the best out of them, when needed. Of course, in terms of price, it is not cheap, and it is almost comparable to a small javelin at the same weight, but it is far inferior to the latter in terms of versatility.
I saw him stretch his strong arms slightly. The bent right leg pushes the ground, the upper body turns to the left, and the left knee is abducted, and the weight is shifted from the right foot to the left leg that is bent and turned. Then rotate your legs aggressively, and rotate in the direction of the throw with the forefoot of your left foot as the axis, leaning your body in the direction of the throw, and holding the throwing arm of the lead bullet behind you to relax the traction.
The Felder Knight spun rapidly in the tower. If Georgie had been here, he would have seen the scene very similar to the pre-discus throws he had seen when he watched the Olympics on TV before the crossing.
Then suddenly the body is fixed, and while the left foot touches the ground, the right foot continues to kick and turn, so that the right hip actively rotates and sends forward in the direction of the throw. Bend your left arm slightly in front of your chest, your chest begins to thrust forward, and when your weight shifts to your left leg, your right leg continues to stretch hard. With explosive speed and force, he threw his arms forward, and the large projectile was just like that.
But at that time, the barbarians below also made new progress. After a long time of slashing and axes, the four iron cables on the suspension bridge finally could no longer bear to break.
There was a loud "bang-" sound, and the oak drawbridge, which had lost its chain, was like a closed page. It's a pity that I don't know who gave this brute the idea, and the warriors who came to deal with the chains actually used the way of climbing poles, and now they all fell down together. And the barbarians' previous siege experience can also be said to be not very rich, knowing that the drawbridge is going to be lowered, but there are still people standing in a position that is destined to be pressed.
I don't know if it's really because of inexperience, or if it's because of some kind of flaw in IQ. In short, this strange combat attrition has actually reached nearly 100 people. You must know that these attackers belong to the elite troops among the barbarians. It is very different in nature from those ordinary cannon fodder. Although they may not be worried about their lives, they will definitely not be able to participate in the battle in today's time.
And the loud sound of the drawbridge falling also drowned out the performance of the Felder Knight. The large siege tower closest to Qiaoji's defense area was immediately smashed out of a hole. A radial hole appeared in the outermost hide, and the fibers of unknown plants began to drift around. The teak board at the back, although it is impossible to see its true face because of the cover of leather. But the obvious deformation still pushes up all parts of the leather.
And in the place where Georgie couldn't see it, that is, on the back of this large siege tower, there were also several barbarians who fell from the sky because of this buckshot attack. On the siege tower, except for the platform behind the movable bridge and the few soldiers who are responsible for manipulating the movable bridge inside. Most of the soldiers climbed on the siege ladders.
In fact, in the so-called civilized countries of the Western Continent, only the death troops, punishment battalions, or stupid soldiers would use the siege ladder to climb the city walls. Because climbing on a rickety ladder, there is no protection at all. Just like just now, the shot put thrown by the Felder Knight did not directly contact the barbarian cannon fodder. However, the sudden intensification of the shaking and the piercing sound of breaking the air made some barbarian cannon fodder unable to grasp it for a while, and they were broken to climb the ladder.
Seeing the gap, Qiao Ji was no longer stingy with this fireball magic staff, and immediately aimed at the gap. Although there is no three-point line on the firearm or any other aiming method. But with Georgie's own high frightening physical fitness, he can still hit every shot if he throws a weapon at a distance of more than 100 meters.
However, when it comes to using staffs, Georgie doesn't have much experience. Fortunately, he had also practiced with a bargain like Ice Ray before, just in case. But the Fireball Staff was still being used for the first time! Georgie could imagine that after each shot, at least 300 or more gold coins flew out of his hands.
According to previous experience, after using his own spirit to resonate with the staff slightly. A tiny, pea-sized ball of heat would emerge from the tip of the staff and swoop towards where Georgie was aiming. As soon as the fiery ball disappeared through the hole, a bright light shot out from the top of the hole, followed by an orange-red flame with a slightly bluish tip. Immediately afterward, a burst of smoke erupted from all sides of the siege tower.
It didn't take long for the large siege tower, which had been built at an unknown cost of manpower and material resources, to start burning from the top of the area where Georgie had hit. Smoke and scorching heat, mixed with the wanton whistling of the wind, and the rattling of suffocating gases. It seems that heaven and earth are also allowed to pass by this gushing outburst. The barbarian, constantly on fire, jumped from the siege tower, and in a moment it became a huge torch. The threat to the head of Brandenburg was completely lost.
But it's not all good news! After pulling the easier elite soldiers from the drawbridge, the brute rushed to the gate, and with the wave of many pairs of strong arms, the trunk of a tree with a ram's head slammed into the gate again and again. If anyone was killed by a boulder dropped by the defenders, two people immediately came to their aid. Again and again, the huge city-breaking hammer slammed into the city gates. Fortunately, the real large battering ram will not be able to reach the post for a while.
With the lead bullets thrown by Felder Knight, Georgie continued to throw fireballs across the entire battle line towards the siege towers. It seems that the overall effect is really quite good, and six giant torches are burning violently not far in front of Brandenburg.
Having completed all this, Georgie thought to himself, 'I guess under the current situation, the pressure on the defenders of Brandenburg should be significantly reduced!' If you really let those siege towers come up, you will face the barbarians who are pouring up like a tide on the other side. Although it can barely maintain a high battle loss ratio for a while, it is never a long-term solution. After all, people will always get tired, and the rotational combat that can be carried out now is also based on the condition that the intensity of individual combat can still be withstanding. If it really enters the stage of all-hands combat, then the intensity of the battle will not just rise by an order of magnitude. \'
However, in the process of setting fires along the way, Georgie was not without mistakes. Among them was a fireball technique, which did not follow Georgie's wishes
Shoot through the gap created earlier. For this reason, Georgie had to make a shot in the supplement, but it can be said that he completed the task relatively satisfactorily.
But at the same time, hundreds of ladders were also erected against the city wall, and another wave of enemy attacks was frantically launched from above and below the city wall, and the pressure on the defenders was instantly increased. And it seems that the previous lesson has been learned, and the position of this part of the ladder is also much lower than the last time. Although it is a lot more difficult for the barbarians who climb and fight. Originally, he could climb directly to the building like this, but now he can only rely on his arms and balance for the last step. But it is also an effective solution to the threat of the fork bar, who says that there are no smart people among the barbarians!
The soldiers in charge of dealing with the wall climbers stood on top of the building. They kept throwing stones and lime down. As a result, most of the brutes did a freefall movement, falling into a shallow pit formed in the ground. Of course, there are also some brutes who rely on their agility to dodge the throwing objects that are constantly dropped overhead. But just as one of them reached out and grabbed the wall, trying to climb up. Immediately, several blades beckoned at him, only to fall down and slam down on the heads of the other brutes.
And Georgie also completed his previous task at this time and returned to his own defensive line. Not far away, the section of the building that had collapsed by the bombardment of the white dragons before. There are many brave soldiers who have risked being shot by stray arrows, crawling out of the protective range and are stepping up repairs. It is true that from time to time someone is shot by the loss of the barbarians, but fortunately, most of the injuries are not serious.
However, because there is a large gap in the quality of soldiers between the various territories. So in a certain defense area that was also destroyed, there were actually some barbarians who climbed the city wall. (To be continued.) )
