Chapter 15: The Kingdom Rerises (part 7 of 60)

March 30, Year 2 of the Pleon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Draco. D. Char set out with a mixed army of 2,600 Pullen soldiers, accompanied by the Twelve Guardian Knights and the Plean Praetorian Guard.

In order to achieve the goal of quickly defeating the opponent in this expedition, the city of Pleon also dispatched the secret weapons of the D-shaped series, including 36 repeating giant crossbows, 12 small catapults, and two heavy "fire-breathing cannons". There is no doubt that these are the trump card weapons of the Puren royal city.

Needless to say, the continuous shooting of the giant crossbow is already equivalent to the standard configuration of the troops in the Puron King City. It is also one of the most important components of the world-famous "Arrow Rain Shower" in Puren. A terrifying killing machine nicknamed the Black Scourgeon and the Death Greatbow.

The twelve small catapults are based on the grenadiers of later generations, and the working principle is exactly the same as that of the 460 mm caliber shore-based guns on the city wall of the King of Purun, and it also adopts artificial force and spring firing, and has the function of multiple firing and rapid continuous fire, which is the killer weapon of the large-scale melee in the future of the King of Purun.

The two heavy fire-breathing cannons are currently the most valuable and high-tech super weapons in the city, and at the same time the difficulty of production. Even if there is already this mature iron-making process, plus the assistance of the era library in Char's mind. Born from artillery technology, this is a devil's weapon, a battlefield ruler, and the wrath of the gods forged by the Byzantine ace army of the 14th century, the Greek Fire, and so on.

The Greek fire itself was a large weapon used in naval warfare in the Byzantine Empire, but there was no need for naval warfare for the royal city of Puren, and Char himself did not care much about the development of the navy, so he gave priority to the army units with this weapon. After all, the conquest of the British Isles was mostly done by land.

The two heavy Spitfire cannons were extremely powerful and long-range, and they were the first ancient weapons to use boosters. It is somewhat similar to the Sky Channeling Cannon of the Tang Dynasty. This allows it to shoot up to 50 meters away, sending out a huge pillar of fire that is long, wide, and far away like a dragon's breath, to burn enemies.

The fuel used in Greek fires is liquid oil, which burns continuously on land and at sea. The royal city of Pullen does not have the same abundant oil reserves as in the Middle East, so Char uses the old method of replacing liquid fish oil with the same purpose of burning, but it is not as strong as the Greek fire, which is said to burn even the sea.

In addition, the Pulun King City also brought twelve war drums and more than two hundred battle flags, as well as tens of thousands of arrows and thousands of special shells, plus fifty heavy weapons, especially the two cannons, although they have lost as much weight as possible, but the weight still reaches an astonishing more than 670 catties, which can only be pulled by special carriages, and manpower cannot be dragged at all!

For this expedition, although the regular army of the royal city of Pulen only dispatched more than 2,600 men, the logistics troops also dispatched more than 1,200 people, and 27 large carriages and more than 600 wheelbarrows were specially used to carry supplies and food.

In this era when there was no concept of logistics, the royal city of Prun was able to come up with such a large number of materials and personnel in one go to ensure the problem of logistics security, which is also the first case in the British Isles! Of course, the Roman Empire was formed earlier, and there was also a special auxiliary corps......

But if you only talk about the British Isles, you can't find a second one on the entire island that can be a military rookie like Pullen's royal city. In fact, in terms of military technology alone, the current King City of Puron is fundamentally ahead of the whole world!

After a day and a night of forced marching, Pullen's army finally arrived at the battlefield at noon the next day.

..........................................

At the same time, the British army was home to more than 6,000 soldiers, some of whom were men and troops from various nobles, and some of whom were the soldiers of the First and Second Great British Legions brought by King Arthur himself. But as before, most of the troops here are ragtags.

King Riashar, along with the Knights of the Round Table and the nobles, was discussing tactics against the Tydes, and most of the nobles seemed to be uninterested in such a thing. It was already very unpleasant for them to be forced to respond to King Arthur's call, and most of the nobles here would not have come here at all if it weren't for the nod of the Grand Duke of Backer.

King Arthur's orders had been set aside by Archduke Bakr for two years, creating an embarrassing situation where it was difficult for the decree to leave the royal city. In fact, if Char hadn't been behind the scenes, and if it weren't for the fact that there would be so many corpses hanging at the city gate every month in the royal capital, it is estimated that it would be a question mark whether King Arthur's order could get out of the palace.

Char doesn't know if it was because of his appearance that King Arthur had to be completely torn apart with the nobles before his wings were full, or if the "Great Sage Merlin", who was supposed to appear to help King Arthur stabilize his power, seemed to be dead, and there was no news at all. In short, King Arthur's current situation seems to be more cruel and difficult than her original destiny route.

But fortunately, King Arthur's bottom line military command has always been firmly held in his hands, even if those nobles are unhappy, they don't dare to cross the red line at will, otherwise even if the Twelve Knights of the Round Table really slaughter them here, no one can say anything. King Arthur said that he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, even if it was the Archduke of Baker, he had to kneel, but he would definitely not die.

Baron Pullen has just arrived to lead his troops to the front!"

The big tent, which had been noisy, instantly fell silent.

Everyone has a different look on their face, and the nobles have quite a lot of rumors about this well-known Baron Pullen, and even many people suspect that Baron Pullen may be the one who made a big fuss about the meeting of the nobles two years ago. D. Char. But neither King Arthur nor Duke Bakr had a hard time talking about it, so no one could be sure who Baron Pullen was.

But this did not prevent the rumors about this Baron Pullen circulating in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital......

Baron Pullen is rumored to be a very capable administrator, who likes to wear a silver mask, long black hair, and two peculiar long poles (decorative muskets) pinned to his waist. At an astonishing speed, he built a new city near the royal capital, which he named the Puron Castle.

It is not clear what the connection between Baron Pullen and King Arthur is, but it is known that Baron Pullen's rights have greatly exceeded the limits of his status. Open up new towns, take in the homeless, set up guardian knights, raise armies, and repair the city walls. In just two years, like a hurricane, the entire king was disturbed.

But his methods were truly terrifying, resolute and unusually decisive. Not only did it admit four-fifths of the displaced people into its own city, but it was also tightly managed. There was no rebellion, no widespread famine, and although there were many minor frictions and problems, the two years passed largely peacefully.

No one knew how Baron Pullen had solved the food problem, or how he had managed to build a city of Pullen so quickly with an extremely vast territory, almost the size of three kings, in the midst of such barren mountains and mountains. All his methods are mysterious, and I have heard that his realm is built like a kingdom of heaven, full of novelty and serenity.

Of course, Char's construction standards are required by the standards of post-modern small towns, and even the worst residential area in the current royal city of Pleon is equivalent to a two-story brick house, and it is indeed a heavenly kingdom for most of the residents in the royal capital who still live in simple and dilapidated houses.

But no matter how miraculous the rumored Baron Pullen is, it can't change an ironclad fact.

Baron Pullen was on the same side as King Arthur, and he and the Noble Alliance were outright hostile forces.

The nobles had a much more ill feeling towards Baron Pullen than a liking, or at most they were very curious.

And rightfully so, a year ago, when the Council of Nobles was about to reconvene. Grand Duke Bakr gathered hundreds of nobles again and planned to attack King Arthur, but what he didn't expect was that the noble convoy from all over the country had not yet reached the royal capital, and was directly annihilated by a group of heavily armored knights who did not know where it came from, and then attacked the various nobles who were harmed from all over the country and hurriedly returned to their own territory and did not dare to come out.

Archduke Buckle's face was pale, and he snorted viciously at King Arthur at the nobles' meeting and led the rest of the nobles to leave. Because the number of participants in the Council of Nobles was less than half, no decision could have an absolute legal effect. Therefore, the meeting of nobles was also forced to be suspended.
