When the enemy appeared in sight from afar, Vannah saw the heavily armed knights, riding tall horses and wearing shiny armor, slowly approaching the town.
Usually a knight master in the town is aloof. Now nearly a hundred people are coming out at once, and this scene makes him gasp.
Vannah felt his palms sweat again, as if he was standing on the wall when he was facing an evil beast for the first time, but this time, he was facing a coalition of the same kind of nobles in the Long Song Fortress.
No, he spitted and threw his thoughts aside, similar?
When did those nobles treat you as their kind?
He thought to himself.
Their trip was to seize the border town and re-incorporate the Beipo mining area into the fortress's control.
More importantly, they actually planned to drive His Highness the Prince out of the Western Front, which was something that all members of the First Army could not accept at all.
His Highness made it clear in his pre-war speech yesterday that Tiffeko Wimbledon, his highness's brother, used conspiracy to seize the throne and killed the old king Wimbledon III.
Originally, Vanne didn't think about the matter between the royal family and the nobles, who would be the French king?
But it was too much for Duke Ryan to take this opportunity to take away His Highness's territory.
Think about it, what was Bianfeng Town like before Your Highness came here?
The former lord seemed to be an earl, and he rarely saw it. He always brought his personal guards when purchasing furs and often used low prices to force the good goods from hunters.
The first to escape when the Demon Moon arrived, and the townspeople never asked about it when they suffered in the fortress slums.
Nowadays, Bianfeng Town is getting better and better under the rule of His Highness, and these changes are all visible to everyone.
Vanne thought that the more miners produced, the more they received.
After His Highness put the black machine into the mine cave in the north slope, the additional output was still counted on the miner's head.
Whether it is building city walls or mine gravel, the villagers' remuneration is paid on time.
This winter, no one even starved to death.
Of course, the biggest change is that the militia is not, the current first army.
With them guarding the town, no one has to curl up in the cold wooden shed of the fortress in winter, begging the big men to give them a bite of food.
If His Highness the Prince is gone, will the Duke still allow the First Army to exist?
Vanna took two deep breaths and wiped his hands on his clothes.
Of course they would not allow it. The fortress nobles did not care about the lives and death of the people. This is exactly what His Highness said: Only an army composed of people will be willing to fight for the people.
He raised his head and looked to the left side of the sky. There was a faint black dot hovering in the distance. If he looked at it inadvertently, he thought it was a huge bird.
It was the shooting command lightning of the artillery team. She used the woods on both sides of the road as cover and observed the enemy's movements from a high place.
When she flew back, Vanne also noticed that as long as she did not take the initiative to go to the open area, the people below would only see the branches on both sides of their heads, and it would be difficult to find the witch who was scouting in the sky.
Lightning once flew to a closer position in front of the formation within a quarter of an hour, and showed a green ribbon.
That means the enemy has entered a preparatory shooting range of one thousand meters.
Vanne still didn't know how far the thousand meters in his mouth was, but when he saw the green signal, he subconsciously shouted the command to load and adjust the angle of shooting according to the regulations during the comprehensive exercise.
The four gun teams quickly completed this set of actions, the muzzle firing angle was adjusted to the third gear, and both gunpowder and solid shells were filled into the barrel.
I thought I had already been able to stand on the wall to fight against the evil beasts, but Vanne realized today that he was still far behind Iron Axe and Brian.
When the array gathered in the afternoon, his heartbeat was difficult to stabilize.
The two of them led their respective teams into the shooting position. Not only did they look as usual, but they could even hear a hint of eagerness from Brian's shouting.
But until now, I have not recovered my calmness, and even the Rodney brothers seem to behave better than me.
This made Vanne feel a little depressed.
He licked his dry lips, looking for the lightning position again.
At this moment, the enemy's advance speed suddenly slowed down a lot.
What are they doing?Rodney asked.
Not sure, the cat claws widened their eyes and looked around, as if they were adjusting their formation?Their people look a little messy.
They were waiting for the troops behind, and the sound of the giggles was trembling. It was impossible for the Knight Master to fight alone, and they must have followed a large number of people.
You know this?Nelson curled his lips.
I've seen it!A knight master would bring at least two entourages, and a dozen serfs transported food and grass for them. He calculated with his fingers, "Look, a fortress duke has at least a hundred knights under him, right?"There were at least three hundred people who could fight on horseback.Add the earls and viscounts in the territory... and more!There are also mercenaries, who do things like licking blood from the knife, and they kill people without blinking!We only have 300 people in total.
With less than three hundred people, Vanne corrected in his heart.
The Musket Team has only more than 270 people equipped with weapons. According to Your Highness, this is called insufficient production capacity.
Now those without muskets are sent to the artillery team to carry ammunition for the four artillery pieces.
But he felt a little better when he saw that there were people who performed worse than himself.
That's the mercenaries, they're here!Yupi shouted in a low voice.
Vannah picked his head and saw a group of guys dressed in various clothes gradually occupying the front of the battlefield. They did not ride horses or line up, but gathered in the middle of the field in groups of three or three.
The knights scattered to the sides, as if giving up their positions to the mercenaries.
The Duke coalition was much closer to him than half a quarter of an hour ago.
At this time, a knight rushed out of the coalition and rushed towards the border town.Vannah felt nervous and almost shouted out the order to open the fire.
What is this to do?He raised his head, still not seeing lightning, and the other party was getting closer and closer, shaking a white flag.
He was an envoy sent by the Duke, and Yupi muttered that he should have come to persuade the surrender.
That's not our business. Rodney squatted behind the cannon and aimed his sight at the center of the barrel. Team leader, the cannon needs to adjust the lower direction, and most of the knights have left the field.
During previous live ammunition practices, they were repeatedly taught that the attack range of the artillery was on this straight line in front of the muzzle, so if you want to hit the target, you must overlap the center line of the barrel.
The five men all turned the cannon cart slightly until they re-introduced the knights in the front of the coalition into the direction pointed by the muzzle.
The messenger who came alone was immediately taken to the rear of the defense line by Lord Carter, but Vanna knew that the Duke's move was just a waste of time, and His Highness the Prince would never agree to surrender.
Suddenly, lightning suddenly accelerated and flew towards the town's defense line. Her arms were waving, and the yellow ribbon in her hand fluttered in the wind.
The yellow signal means that the opponent has entered a range of 800 meters. Within this distance, the solid bullet of the artillery has a chance to hit the target.
As long as the artillery captain does not indicate that the artillery fire is prohibited, each artillery team can fire freely.
The team members also noticed this signal, and everyone turned their eyes to Vanne, who nodded, took a deep breath, and fired!
