great victory
The artillery platoon quickly finished the predetermined number of instructor bullets, began to readjust the angle, and aimed at the five or six meters high earthen city wall in front of it.
Xu Kuang stood on the hillside and personally supervised the battle.
I don't know if the artillery platoon was well-trained, or if they were accurate, three shells in a row actually hit the same place, and the wall made of mud was directly blown out of a big gap.
Xu Kuangmeng was stunned, and hurriedly fired a green signal flare in the direction of the west gate.
When Simon received the news, he immediately lifted the tarpaulins on the three ballista carts, revealing rows of crossbow arrows inside.
This kind of ballista is a version of the magic world that Xu Kuang has transformed according to the Kasan rocket, and before Xu Kuang has time to test-fire, these weapons have been pulled here, so he doesn't know what this weapon will perform.
The legs of the ballista were stretched open, and the mule pulling the cart was led far away, and then the three-door ballista was aimed at the distant wall and lit the fuse.
The platoon commander of the second infantry platoon saw this scene and immediately shouted:
"Everyone, find cover!".
Thirty rockets whizzed past the heads of the second platoon of infantry and headed straight for the distant city walls.
When the defenders of the city wall saw this, they were convinced that the battlements of the wall could not hold it, and ran down the wall as fast as they could.
Thirty rockets were inserted deep into the earthen wall, and the propellant was still working, allowing the crossbow bolts to go deeper and deeper, and the second platoon of infantry stared at the rockets, because the commander-in-chief said that the rockets would explode, so they did not dare to slack off.
Sure enough, half a minute later, the white phosphorus in a rocket reached the ignition point and quickly burned, and the burning white phosphorus ignited the gunpowder inside the rocket.
Then there was an almost continuous explosion.
A huge shock wave suddenly swept around, and the second platoon of infantry hiding behind the bunker was better, but the city defense army behind the earthen wall was directly lifted into the sky along with the earthen wall.
Under that equivalent shock wave, whether it is sand, clods, rubble, or straw, they all become high-speed lethal weapons, they are not shrapnel, but they are better than shrapnel, and there are more than a hundred people behind the earthen wall, and nearly ninety percent of them were killed in this round of explosions!
By the time the shock wave had dissipated, the earthen wall had almost disappeared.
The second platoon of infantry was overjoyed, and the awe of Xu Kuang in his heart was even greater.
The second platoon commander hurriedly shouted:
"Flare off!".
But everyone was temporarily deaf, and no one could hear what he said.
The second platoon commander had no choice but to grab the flare gun and shoot a green flare into the sky.
Xu Kuang saw the signal flare rising from the West Gate, and recalled the explosion just now, and immediately understood what was happening.
Xu Kuang directly ordered:
"The infantry platoon retreated, the second squad of ballistas prepared, attacked the earthen city wall, the base number was 0.2, no need to calibrate the fire, fire immediately!".
Why didn't Xu Kuang let the school? The reason is very simple, it is so close, if there is still a need for calibration, then this group of people can be laid off.
A moment later, the walls of the eastern gate were also broken.
Xu Kuang waved his hand and shouted:
"Order the troops, enter the city immediately!".
……
Standing on the stone wall of the castle, observing everything with the help of the magician's eagle eye, Wren asked:
"Do you have a way to deal with those alchemy products?".
"No way, there are too many and the distance is too far."
"So what do we do?".
The magician sighed, a look of helplessness on his face.
"Lord Wren, you have been good to me for so many years, and I want to repay you, but you must understand that the situation is not favorable now. For now, either surrender or take what is important and go north. ”。
Wren's face became even more ugly, he was quite unwilling, his thousands of soldiers and horses had not yet been fully assembled, and he had not yet fought with Xu Kuang face to face, he was unwilling.
"Don't we have any other way?"
The magician's face remained unchanged, and his tone was flat:
"Even if I tried my best, I wouldn't be able to fight against so many elite soldiers. You see, they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, calmly, and have a large number of alchemy weapons at their disposal, and if we don't make a decision immediately, I'm afraid the situation will be even more difficult. ”。
"Let's ride away at once!".
At this moment, Wren was very decisive, he understood that he couldn't fight Xu Kuang, so it was better to find someone more powerful to help him.
Soon the guards came to report:
"From the loud bang just now, all the horses, donkeys, mules and even cattle have run out ......."
Wren's face was gloomy, and his heart was empty:
"What now?".
"I can only surrender to Xu Kuang, you are a baron, he won't do anything to you, it won't take long to put you back."
Wren's face turned green, and he asked:
"Isn't there any other way?".
"Fight him hard, are you sure you can beat his elite soldiers? Look at your soldiers, who are fleeing to death. Some people didn't run away, you just look at their pants. ”。
Wren's gaze swept to the water-stained crotch of his pants, and he roared "waste" in his heart.
"There are only two options in front of you, take your pick."
Wren's face was hideous, but almost for a moment, he was like a deflated ball, and whispered helplessly:
"Alright, squire, raise the white flag."
……
Xu Kuang listened to the report of his subordinates, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing:
"That's all for A-class missions? Could it be the cause of the rockets? ”。
Xu Kuang's guess is well-founded, before the mission comes out, he doesn't know the specific power of the rocket, and the system sends the mission according to Xu Kuang's strength, so there will be this kind of oolong.
Xu Kuang rode into the city and met the captured Baron Rennes and his family.
When Baron Wren saw Xu Kuang, he gritted his teeth:
"Xu Kuang, you have violated the laws of the kingdom, I will denounce you and let people take back your title!"
Xu Kuang sneered:
"Well, since you've said so, then I can't let you live.".
Baron Wren's face turned pale, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly made up for himself:
"If you can let me go and apologize to me, I'll forgive you."
The magician kneeling next to Baron Wren had no face to listen, and he would be embarrassed and ashamed to die.
Xu Kuang also laughed, and he sneered:
"I'll give you a chance to live, you go and inform the other five lords, tell them to come to my Mushroom Ridge to discuss the affairs of the exiles and the territory, as for which five barons, I don't need to say more, right?"
Wren's face was ugly:
"You already know what we're up to?"
The magician buried his head even lower.
Xu Kuang smiled, and he said to Baron Rennes:
"I won't tell you more, my subordinates have discovered your vault, but don't worry, I won't take much, just two thousand four hundred gold coins, as the rent and interest for you to encroach on my territory for one year and four months, and I will also take back the mules and horses that were scared away, do you have any opinions?"
Wren's face was pale, and he was just about to speak, but his face trembled with fright by Xu Kuang's fluttering words.
"As for your two sons and a daughter, I'll take them first, but don't worry, I'll definitely entertain them with good food and drink, you can rest assured."
"Xu Kuang, I remember you."
Xu Kuang shot Baron Wren next to him, scaring Baron Wren into a thrill.
"I don't have time to tease you, you hurry up, I'm leaving."
Xu Kuang got on the horse, suddenly caught a glimpse of the magician on the side, his heart moved, and said to Chen Xiaohu:
"Bring that guy with you."
