The wind in the mountains was a little cold, a cloud of dust was blown under the horse's hooves, and the black armor covered with spikes on his shoulders was tidied up, and the fat man walked around the camp very casually, the scenery in front of him was good, the defense of Truburg was not impeccable, but it also seemed to be well-organized, well-layered, the huge fortress was built according to the mountain, and the tall city wall reached more than 5 meters, because the location of the construction was in the pass between the two mountains,

Under the support of the huge mountain, the whole fortress is like a giant with outstretched hands, with a compelling momentum, condescending, for the plains below, the typical one-man when the key to the terrain, and the other party also grasped this very accurately, directly gave up some unfavorable terrain outside the city, withdrew all the troops to the city, according to the order to retreat Caesar Solon and Salonian legion, here into one,

A total of 30,000 falcon troops, violently pressed under the Truburg Pass, spears like forests, battle flags like blood, red imperial army flags overwhelming, from time to time you can see huge siege crossbows pushed to the front of the camp, on the cold light flashing huge metal arrows,

With a team of black cavalry, escorting a giant war horse with black heavy armor, a guy wearing spiked armor and obviously overly violent appeared on it, "Mom, it's the Vekia Falcon!" I don't know who shouted at the head of the city, and the expeditionary force on the city wall immediately appeared in an irrepressible commotion, and everyone's nerves tensed up, and they all felt that the eyes of the fat man in black armor were like a wild wolf in the dark night of the Gobi Desert, flashing with a cold and terrifying fierce light,

"Everybody's on their guard!

The commander of the expeditionary force, Starshuil, shouted loudly, looking into the distance with bloodshot eyes, and his hands were unnaturally clenched together, the name of the man, the shadow of the tree. Although most of the soldiers of the expeditionary force do not recognize the Falcon Empire, for the Vekia Falcon, which has never been defeated in the Ikadiva continent, it is a storage that wants to be avoided from the heart.

But Starshuil dared to say that if he wanted to capture the Truburg he defended, the opponent would need to pay at least tens of thousands of people, and he had not rested since last night. He led his guards to constantly patrol back and forth on the city walls, cheering up the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and encouraging each soldier with his personal will and faith

"Hold on, you are the last warriors of Salander!" His words still made the expeditionary force morale very much, bearing the hatred of the destruction of the country, once the morale of the expeditionary force was mobilized, it also began to show a certain combat strength,

Maybe it's boring. The fat man asked the guards to drag two heavy siege crossbows, first aiming at the left wall of Fort Tru for testing, and the curious soldiers of the expeditionary force, although they knew that the weapon pushed out this time was called a crossbow. But there was no sense of crisis at all, and when the two giant crossbows stopped 300 meters away, they were still lying on the battlements in groups, pointing at the heavy crossbows pushed out below.

"Collapse, collapse!"

Just when everyone was talking, two swift cold lights had burst out from this half-moon-shaped huge device 300 meters away. Drawing a stinging white line in the air, shooting at the watchtower at the left corner of the city wall, the sound of "popping" stones cracking was so clear in the sound of sudden stopping, making everyone feel breathless,

"What's the situation, the Falcon Army actually shoots the watchtower with a crossbow!"

This fierce blow made the expeditionary force stunned, but soon burst into wild laughter, "Haha, that's!" The expeditionary force suddenly burst into laughter, feeling that the falcons below were too funny, shooting the target with arrows, even if it missed, there should not be such a big error, the sentry tower that was shot was located at the very edge of the city wall, if the opponent was targeting the middle city gate, the falcon army deviated by at least 100 meters,

"Not good!"

Three hundred meters away, the fat man who made the result evaluation, the corners of his mouth twitched, only to see that on the sentry tower of the city wall that was shot, the gravel was scattered, and a lot of dust rose from the gap position, two huge arrow clusters about 4 meters long and with four metal tail fins at the tail, which were revealed as the flying dust dispersed, for a strong sentry tower about a few meters wide, such a small wound was not enough to shake the root of the sentry tower

"Change Special Arrows"

The fat man waved his hand to the guard behind him, who was putting the arrow cluster into the crossbow slot, and two arrows made of stainless steel were replaced, and behind the arrow, a black barrel was tied, and an ignition coil about one meter long was coiled up from the tail of the arrow cluster, and finally connected to the black barrel.

"Look, the fools of the Falcon Army are dreaming idiots again!"

The city head laughed, the fat man did not think that the guards behind him had finished loading, and flicked his fingers lightly, and collapsed! The fierce bowstring let out a low and crisp whistling sound, this time the direction of the shot was still the sentry tower on the left, as the wire outside the barrel was ignited, there was a hula burning sound in the air, and the arrow cluster flew out like a lightning flashing meteor, snapping "The arrow cluster has no suspense and hits the target, in order to protect the wire from being extinguished in flight, the outside of the wire is wrapped with a layer of hollow bark

This time, the laughter of the expeditionary force on Truborg suddenly stopped, and one by one they lay on the battlements in a daze, stretching out their long necks, looking at the sentry tower that was pierced by an arrow not far away, and everyone's faces suddenly changed in unison.

"God, how is it possible!" someone shouted in a low voice of incredulity, only to see that the two steel crossbow arrows that were tested this time almost effortlessly pierced a 20-centimeter-thick battlement on the guard tower.

And in front of everyone's eyes, as if a show, the entire battlement that was hit was shoveled off,

The strong piercing force, and the weight of the steel itself, let this arrow cluster penetrate deep into the inside of the watchtower, if there is that unlucky guy in any position, the only end is to be directly cut off, or be crushed into pieces by the heavy arrows,

"Even so, there's nothing to be afraid of!" the soldiers of the expeditionary force came back to their senses and cheered themselves up, but before they could fully recover their senses, a loud explosion suddenly came from the inside of the sentry tower that had been hit, and everyone's eyes were glazed over, looking at the sentry tower in complete disbelief, no, or rather, the place where the sentry tower once stood.

In the sudden explosion, the entire watchtower was like a soda can that was violently smashed, flames or air waves exploded from the inside to a large area, and countless rubble flew into the sky with the explosion, like a rain of rubble in the air.

This time it was not just a hole, but the entire watchtower was violently collapsed in an inexplicable explosion, and the gate of the watchtower rushed open from the inside, like a twist twisted by violence. It spun in the air several times before it fell down in a concave shape, black smoke and bright flames, scrambling out from the guard tower, thick smoke billowed on, shining on the face of every soldier of the expeditionary force, as black as the bottom of a pot, more than 50 shooters in the guard tower, just like this, were inexplicably served in a pot, and none of them ran out. Who can stand such a scene?

"Yes, that's pretty much it!"

The fat man was in the distance, satisfied, putting down the lookout in his hand and facing the billowing black smoke rising from the city wall in the distance. The corners of his mouth showed a sneer, this method of crude oil barrel and bow and crossbow was naturally his idea, plus the cooperation of the Weapons Research Institute.

Because it is a single target attack, the consumption is not large, but the requirements for the shooter are relatively high. And in the Falcon army, excellent shooters abound, the fat man handed over this idea to the Weapons Research Institute, under the premise of the success of the existing small burst bomb research, for the Falcon Majesty Xià proposed this new idea, the research institute only took three weeks to complete, although the whole design is limited and sloppy and flawed, but overall it is quite successful,

In the past, the Falcon Army attacked the fortress, either using Thor Bombardment, or using trebuchets to bombard the opponent's city walls, although these two methods are good, but they are both large-scale coverage, although the effect is outstanding, but the consumption of war materials is also very huge, and generally these large-scale weapons, only the corps-level can be used, and the crossbow with crude oil bombs can be distributed to the general combat flag regiment,

On the solid metal crossbow arrows, with a crude oil barrel that can delay the time, it is simply a small rocket, and what the fat man needs is this kind of oppression, with the completion of the test firing, the expeditionary force on the city wall is obviously a little shaken

The strength of the Imperial Army makes the soldiers of the expeditionary force feel that they cannot resist, there are voices of grace at the bottom everywhere, even the faces of the officers are not good-looking, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, just taking an attack like that just now, the other party does not even need to attack the city, and it is enough to raze the entire Tru Fort directly with a crossbow, of course, this is the wishful thinking of the expeditionary force itself, not counting the cost of the special crossbow bow and arrow clusters used, just the huge number required to level a fortress is enough to make the fat man feel that this is not a good deal, "Your Majesty, this should be the new weapon of the empire, it is really powerful, the shooting is accurate, the power is great, even if you don't mention the lethality, just the powerful force generated by the explosion is enough to make the opposing soldiers have a huge burden on their hearts,,......"

Feeling the fluctuation of the hearts of the soldiers on the city wall, and the collapse of most of the guard tower, the pupils of the cunning and cunning Ssalon's one-eyed power contracted unnaturally, and he swayed to find the fat man, his eyes drifted around from time to time on the box where the arrow clusters were kept, and his tone was full of temptation and envy, obviously paying attention to these special arrows "This thing is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately the number is limited" The fat man glanced at him leisurely, and ordered the guards to cover the two boxes of special arrows that had not yet been used immediately, and the greedy Salong even drooled

"Have an idea? wholesale price, five thousand gold coins a piece, if you get a hundred, I will give you a ninety-fifty discount" The fat man raised five fat fingers and said with a profiteer's face

"No, a hundred, that's 500,000 gold coins!" Salon subconsciously shrank his head, opened his mouth to the lion of the Falcon Majesty, shrugged his shoulders hesitantly, spread his hand and said

"If it was three months ago, His Majesty's business would have been taken care of, but now, to be honest, I can't even take out 200,000 gold coins in my pocket, you know, the expeditionary force has collected most of the treasure, and I have fought all the way, and almost even supplies have become a problem."

"Nonsense, you think I don't know" The fat man looked hideous, gritted his teeth and said, "You have been stationed in the Dominion of San Lorenzo for half a month, and even the gems on the throne have been scraped away, and the princess of Zhenguo writes every day, euphemistically asking me if I can return the throne of the Grand Duke without gems to her, but it is also an antique of hundreds of years, you don't know how to take care of it"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

Salon let out a scream that sounded like he had been slapped with a brick, patted his chest, and swore solemnly, "I am not the one who digs up the throne jewel, I just ordered the throne of the palace to be removed, I can swear to God." There is not a single gem missing, and the person who said that I dig up gems must be slandering! I have always been very fond of antiques."

"So, that antique throne is really in your hands?" the fat man glared at Salong very unpleasantly, touched his chin, and said to himself, "I heard that the throne of the Grand Duke, which is listed as the first treasure of the northwest coast, has a history of more than 300 years, and is inlaid with three hundred and twenty-six of the most precious red diamonds, if it is placed at auction. It should be possible to sell more than 2 million gold coins,

"If it's the price of the underworld, it should be even higher! You've gone too far, don't you know that eating alone is a curse? Don't you even follow the old rules of the Three Seven Kai? How come I don't see a trace of these treasures in the list of trophies reported?"

"That'...... What kind of throne, in fact, I am ......!" Salon rolled his eyes wildly, his head shook like a rattle, and his head was covered with cold sweat flowing like a waterfall,

"Alright. I don't need to explain, I believe you!This matter must have nothing to do with you!" The fat man interrupted his explanation, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder, with great sincerity. The tears that almost moved Saron fell, and his lips trembled and said, "Your Majesty is really a sincere person, and it really makes his subordinates have no land, and that throne is actually ......"

The fat man interrupted him again with a wave of his hand. He glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I absolutely believe that you have no selfish intentions, and I have sufficient information to explain." You didn't take that throne, because it's the spoils of empire, aren't you?"

"Yes, that's the spoils of the Empire! I've already sent someone on the way to hand it in" Salon's face was like crying, and his head nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking rice, in this situation, only this reason can avoid being punished, but that woman is really troublesome, isn't it just a broken chair, if it weren't for the hobby of collecting, he might not be able to look at it

"I heard that there are some good treasures, but I haven't seen them on the loot list," the fat man continued to touch his chin, his eyes shining like stars in the night sky, and said to himself

"I'll investigate it right away, and I'll hand it in as soon as I find out!" Salon's heart was dripping blood, he knew that he would be ripped off, but he didn't come just now, or Caesar Zoro was cunning, and when he saw the falcon, he had already run away without a trace, and he was still as stupid as himself, and he went forward

"Don't you do this, old rules, three seven open, you three and I seven! The empire will thank you for your support!" the fat man smiled, like an old rascal who had just thrown six points at the casino, and said, "Don't lift it, how laborious, these two boxes will be left to Captain Salon, even if I pay part of it in advance on behalf of the empire! This is to be counted in the cost" The fat man shook his hand at the guards and walked away in a very chic manner, leaving Salon, who couldn't laugh or cry

In the afternoon, news came from the north that Hu Kochili's Central Army attacked the periphery of Kyoto, and sure enough, it broke through the outer defense line of Normandy and Kyoto, although it did not finally break through the gates of Normandy Kyoto, but it had cut off the connection between Kyoto and Fort Tru, and in this battle, more than 4,700 people were captured by the expeditionary force, which was also a big victory, and three days later, 4,700 captives arrived at Fort Tru under the escort of 2,000 cavalry of the Central Army

The fat man also made a special trip to take a look, the prisoners were concentrated on the left side of the camp, and the 2,000 northern troops were in charge of guarding, although all the wolves were unbearable, but they were not bad in spirit, and one of the interesting phenomena attracted the attention of the fat man,

The armor of these expeditionary soldiers is very new, and it is also gorgeous, revealing the unique romance of the Salander people, although it is now covered with dust and mud, but it is vaguely beginning to be seen below with a patterned base made of silver melting, this practice, the fat man has seen it on the Mamunuk knight before, but it is also a Mamunuk knight with status, it is a symbol of status, and it is also a symbol of wealth,

"It seems that it is really as rumored to have been!" The fat man looked away from these dejected captives, raised his head and took a deep breath, ordinary soldiers are still like this, it can be seen that the wealth of the expeditionary force has reached a certain extent, the wind has eroded the soul of this army, and the expeditionary force is undefeated, it is really intolerable!

The morning light shone in front of Truburg, the light spread the earth, and groups of figures appeared in front,

"Watch out for enemy attacks" The shouts of the expeditionary army's watchtower came from the city wall, countless bows and arrows were erected from the battlements, and as the figures stopped three hundred meters below the city, the expeditionary force on the battlements had the opportunity to examine these people in a panic,

These soldiers had no weapons in their hands, and their bodies supporting each other were like a group of grasshoppers on a rope, shaking each other and staggering, because they were facing the morning light, and the armor of these soldiers shone with a white sheen, as if covered with a layer of white light

"It seems to be...... It's from Kyoto!"

The archers on the city wall, looking at the thousands of their own people below, were suddenly stupid, and even Starshuil's heart felt cold, could it be that Kyoto had fallen so quickly? He didn't want to believe this, but so many prisoners of the Kyoto Front below had ruthlessly crushed the last bit of luck in his heart. )
