Chapter 6: The Seven-Day War

But even so, Char relied on the materials of the "Times Library" to use part of the nitrate obtained for secondary processing, and successfully obtained seven barrels of black powder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And judging from the steel training technology of this era, it is not difficult to make the most basic flintlock pistol with a little subdivision.

So Char now wants money and money (one basement), science and technology (Times Library), basic resources (materials in the third basement), and hole cards (fish oil + black powder). As long as he has a little patience, it is enough to find a few trustworthy people to follow him, and then fool a group of low-IQ villagers to work for him.

In two to three years, Char will definitely be able to rise to become the hegemon of a country with the development of the Times Library and black powder. So from the very beginning, Char insisted on going it alone, after all, who wants to bow down to an unfamiliar person if he can claim to be the king himself?

It's just that...... Now Char has changed his mind a little, he wants to help King Arthur calm the domestic situation first, and then find a way to get out and go it alone. There are two reasons for this decision, the first is that although Char is a bit stingy and flaws, he attaches great importance to commitment. He promised Lancelot to help King Arthur in his quest to unify the kingdom.

The second point is that Char also has his own considerations, and he intends to use the Kingdom of Great Britain as a stepping stone and whetstone for himself. Through Great Britain, he learned about the thinking patterns of the world's high-ranking people, which was very important for him to become independent king in the future.

In the end, Char was not afraid that once Great Britain was unified with his help, it would even become extremely powerful and threaten his own interests. Because Char will always hold on to his last hole card, that is, the research and development of black powder in the world, only he can do it.

When muskets and cannons were developed, Char's power was undoubtedly hundreds of years ahead of the entire era. No matter how powerful the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur were at that time, how prosperous the Kingdom of Great Britain was. Under the salvo of hundreds of cannons, and the bullets of thousands of muskets. Knights, infantry, archers, castles, ramparts...... It's all just fly ash.

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

After a while, the stench in the cave seemed to have almost dissipated.

Although the smell was still enough to make the two of them frown.

Char asks Bedwell to order the soldiers to go down and get the fish oil out. Although Bedwell was really unwilling to let this group of guards who trusted King Arthur do such an inferior thing, she couldn't hold back Char's shamelessness and domineering, so she gritted her teeth and took the lead in leading more than 20 guards to move out the twelve barrels of fish oil.

Because the basement is small, it is not very convenient to get in and out, so it took a lot of time to move out the twelve barrels of fish oil. In groups of twenty people, a total of four groups took turns to move down, so that the soldiers were not affected by the stench. But even so, there were still bad soldiers who went down and vomited with a stench......

After moving out of the fish oil drum, Char led more than 30 soldiers to the third basement floor. Removed all the props and saws from the third basement floor. Although the number of these things is not large, it took a long time to move them out. In particular, there are three hidden weapons full of "diamond nails", which are specially created by Char to harm the infantry.

Everything was moved out, even the black powder. However, Char didn't move out of the house, but left at least two barrels still in the third basement.

"Bedwell, take these saws and the wheelbarrow. Let your soldiers cut down all the trees within a radius of fifty miles and bring them here today, and I will make some engineering defensive weapons for you in the shortest possible time. Also order your army to be stationed in full force into the town, where we are to set up a labyrinthine line. ”

Char pointed to the collapsed fence around the town. This town, the size of only the size of an international football field, is honestly a sight to behold. But because of this, this place is extremely suitable for the preset of Char, who is short of time but needs to be renovated on a large scale.

First, Char had to repair the surrounding walls. But you don't have to fix it well, just use some wooden planks to erect it to make it look like a wall from the outside. Then, dig a deep pit behind the wall, which is large and long, and connects the two sides of the town. As the north side is a lake, there is no need to worry.

The southeast is sealed as the "death" gate, and the north is the lake as the "heaven" gate. Char deliberately set aside the west side to serve as a "living" door. Using forests as soldiers, layered on top of each other, it looks like building multiple city walls on the outside, but in fact it is a visual illusion made by superimposing layers of wooden planks that are half virtual and half real. And this illusion has only one purpose, and that is to blind the enemy army.

Headed by a high platform and led by a wooden wall, an artificial labyrinth mouth is constructed. Bring in the enemy's army from the Shengmen, and then seal life into death, and turn the world upside down. Draw the enemy army that has broken into the gate of life to the enemy, and then use the platform made of the tower to station pikemen and grenadiers (archers) to launch a fierce attack on the enemy. (The Array of Life and Death - from the diagram of the ancient formation, which began in the Spring and Autumn Period and was later obtained by the Qin State.) )

The life and death array is one of the most classic and easiest formations in the ancient formations, but when it comes to the danger of life and death, it can be compared to the Bagua Lock Array at the peak of future generations.

However, it is extremely difficult for the Life Gate in the Life and Death Array to turn into the Life Gate, and it is the place that requires the most troops and materials. Therefore, Char needs a lot of manpower to help him, and at this time, Bedwell's support is particularly important.

"No, there is no command from the king. The army cannot be moved lightly, especially at this moment, when the king's orders are the highest priority. ”

As expected, Bedwell sternly rejected Char's idea of moving an army into the city. Looking at the other party's frustrated expression, Bedwell felt a little refreshed...... Finally avenged the revenge just now.

However, Bedwell was not wrong, and during the war, he randomly moved the base camp in the rear and ran around. This was the result of being clicked on the spot in those days. What's more, disregarding the king's orders and acting without authorization is simply a great sin of disobedience. Bedwell certainly wouldn't agree, and that's to be expected.

"Then the army can not come first, but it's okay to send soldiers around to collect that wood, right?" Char said.

"Uh...... This is nature. ”

"Well, before your king returns from defeat. For the time being, let the soldiers keep mining the wood and bring it here, and I'll do some planning here. In order to prevent your army from losing too badly, I need to prepare a few more traps...... Ay. ”

"Enough is enough, Draco. Don't slander the power of the king and the power of the soldiers of Great Britain. They are true warriors!" Bedwell said with a displeased look at Char.

"A boar-style raid without wisdom and tactical arrangements can only be described as brave and unplanned. What's more, it is a common phenomenon on the battlefield for you to attack without even doing a good job of intelligence, and to be attacked head-on by the enemy or even counterattacked. The battlefield is the battlefield of intelligence, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. Char shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.

Bedwell was very dissatisfied with Char at this moment, but felt that Char's words were not really without merit.

"Damn, when the king returns triumphantly, I will definitely beat you up. ”

"The fact that you're coming here with me speaks volumes about your own uneasiness. Other than that...... With your strength and speed, even if it's three together, it's no match for me. If it's Lancelot, it's a different story. ”

Char said with an angry expression on his face towards Bedwell.

Bedwell swore to the sky that if it weren't for the real difference in force between the two sides, he would definitely use his fists to tell the other party what a starry sky is!

But perhaps, as Char said.

Will the King, and the warriors of Great Britain, really return victorious?" thought to Bedwell with some unease. Judging from the fact that none of the sentinels sent out before have returned to the present, it seems that everything has exceeded the expectations of them and the others.

Looking at the sea of clouds rolling in the distance like boiling water, the red sunset stretched for hundreds of miles......

Bedwell stood under the ruins of the castle and looked out from afar.

"Let's hope everything goes well. ”
