Chapter 32: A Great Gift to Your Door
The rainy weather in the Great Plains of Hamp continued, but the rain had subsided a lot, which was good news for the people of Yod.
Two days passed, and the pits outside the city to hinder the enemy's attack had been dug, and with the efforts of everyone, dozens of pits had been dug outside the city, each of which was three meters deep.
On the other hand, Saiana led a lot of people to look for food on the great plains outside the city, and the scope of their search was much larger than before, but unfortunately, they did not find a solution to the food trouble.
Ron was not idle for the past two days, and his job was to supervise the few carpenters in the city to make the throwing arms.
In order to ensure the lethality of gunpowder, when the explosives bag is made, the amount of gunpowder filled in it can be a lot, and the weight of the explosives bag, Ron has tried, even if he holds it with one hand, he will never throw ten meters outward, which is more demanding for the throwing arm.
There are a lot of porcelain kilns in Yode Town, and after two days of searching, a lot of sulfur and saltpeter were also found, so when making explosive bags, Noah simply let go of his hands and feet, if even his life is gone, what are you doing with these powders?
As for the previously conceived mines, Ron did not put them into practice, and the process of making them was much more complicated than the explosives pack.
At the request of the carpenters, Saiana sent a lot of people to work on it, although Ron was not directly involved in the production, but he was tired enough in the past two days.
That night, Ron suddenly received a notice from Merial that there was an emergency that they needed to discuss.
Back in the meeting room of the Lord's Palace, Ron and Merial had a little fatigue on their faces, and Saiana and Blanton were already waiting for them in the conference room.
"You two are finally here. Saiana's eyes flashed with excitement: "Just now, the team that went outside to search for food supplies brought back an important piece of information. ”
"Important, did you find food?" asked Meria.
"Yes, it's food, but it's not that easy to take. Saiana paused, "Because of the heavy rain of the past two days, the land of the whole Great Plains is quite muddy, and we found a convoy of Beru loaded with weapons and forage, and the wheels of their wagons were all sunk in the mud. ”
"Convoy?" Ron and Meria's eyes lit up.
The food in Yode Town can only last another day or two, and even if this batch of supplies is extracted, they will take it down.
"How's the troop of the convoy disposed?, do we have enough manpower?" Ron muttered, "After we have dealt with the enemy, we have to find a way to bring the supplies back." ”
"This Beilu convoy is about 200 people. Blanton's voice sounded with a sense of heaviness: "Their location is exactly in a clearing more than four thousand meters away from the city, and the terrain near there is not so flat, except for the plains, there are some sparse woods and low-lying ravines. If we're going to do it, this kind of terrain should be pretty good. ”
"Four thousand meters?" Meria pondered for a moment, "but there are plains everywhere here, what if we rush directly and be discovered by the enemy? After all, they are also regular troops, and our combat strength here can only be won unless we have a superior number of people, and we also have to take into account the possible casualties." ”
"Don't worry, we still have this preparation. Saiana smiled and said, "Lord Meria, Lord Ron, do you remember that a while before you arrived, we repelled some of the invasion of the Be......lu army?
......
As night wore on, the deep moonlight shrouded the entire Hamp Plain.
A small but heavily armed Belu army marched slowly through the few woods on the Hamp Plain.
The muddy land seriously delayed their progress, but fortunately, there was still plenty of time, and when they came to this wood, the road was much better, and all the soldiers had a tired look on their faces, and it was obvious that the Great Plains of Hamp in the rainy season had consumed too much of their energy.
A young man with a beard and long brown hair sits on a black horned horse under his crotch. The black wildebeest is a specialty of the Death Corridor, and the fierce folk customs and years of war in the Death Corridor have also cultivated this species with strong bodies and excellent qualities. However, the number of such black wildebeest horses is not large, and it is generally assigned to the commanders of the main forces and some units.
Randall pulled out his sword from the scabbard at his waist, and like most of Beru's officers, at the beginning of his tenure, he was given a saber symbolizing the status of the commander by the top of the Duchy of Beru, but Randall's saber had another meaning.
As the collateral bloodline of the Grand Duke of Beru's family, Randall relied on this very thin layer of blood relationship to get mixed into the position of a captain, Randall's saber and sword, as well as the wolf head emblem that symbolizes the orthodox aristocratic status of the Duchy of Beru, this saber, he often wipes back and forth when he is fine, for him, this saber is like his second life.
Randall has a thumb-length scar on the right cheek, which was left by Randall's abrasion by a stray arrow during a battle with the front line of the Principality of Noah, which has also become Randall's bragging capital with others, and the scar left on the battlefield is the proof of the warrior.
However, after this battle, Randall became the captain of the transport team in charge of the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance in the Principality of Beru, and what happened in that battle, these soldiers under Randall naturally knew very well.
Randall let out a long sigh, this time the combat mission was to transport grain and grass again, but it was near the town of Yod on the front line of Hamp City. Their goal was to deliver this batch of grain, grass and ordnance safely to the town of Yod.
Randall has always wanted to prove his ability and prove that he is not a captain by nepotism, but this kind of transportation task is obviously not what Randall wants. After the army of the Duchy of Belu occupied and slaughtered the city of Hamp, he did not believe that there would be any Noahs who would cause trouble on the great plains.
The saber in Randall's hand glittered in the moonlight, but what Randall didn't know was that this saber of good texture would soon be like the head on his neck, and it would soon be no longer his own.
