According to the accurate information provided by Shilon, the artillerymen pushed the artillery to a position about 300 meters away from the enemy camp, loaded the shells, and launched an artillery attack in the direction of the camp.Boom!
The sound of artillery fire resounded in the sky, and with this as a code, the encirclement and annihilation operation officially began.Only a few musketeers were left to protect the artillery team, and the rest of the musketeers were led to the front by Rusha, avoiding the shelling in a straight line and launching a frontal attack from the left and right.Duke Eddy: When they learned of the attack, they would definitely flee south.Because the artillery and Lusha troops were attacking from the north, with the Weishui River to the west and the Tianqiong Mountains to the east, only the south was their Dongsheng fortress.After each round of shelling, Blue would instruct the artillery to raise the angle of fire before proceeding to the next round.Until the firing angle is adjusted to the highest, after the shell is fired, it will not be fired again, and if you continue to fire, you may injure your own people.When the first cannonball landed in the camp with a loud bang, Duke Eddie, who was preparing to eat, was startled and hurriedly picked up the helmet next to him and put it on.As soon as he ran out of the tent, he saw that a tent not far in front of him had collapsed, and it seemed to be the tent of the Count of Corret.The people in the camp were in a panic and scurrying around like rats, and from time to time the earth was scattered by the shells, and blood was everywhere.Seeing this, Duke Eddie was stunned on the spot.He couldn't figure out how the enemy caught up?
Since the knight in charge of reconnaissance has not found any trace of the enemy, Duke Eddie thought that the other party had given up the pursuit and could return to Dongsheng Fortress with peace of mind.But now that the enemy has caught up and attacked, what are the knights sent out to scout for?!
At that moment, the groom hurried to him in a carriage."
Lord Duke, get in the car!""
It's just in time, and you'll be rewarded when you go back!"
The groom did not abandon himself and fled, which moved Duke Eddie a little, and hurriedly climbed into the carriage.Just as he was about to sit down, Duke Eddie happened to see a team in the distance to the north lined up in a straight line, raising their short sticks to attack as they advanced.What's even more bizarre is that there are lizardmen in that team, also holding short sticks in their hands, and a deeper sense of fear wells up in his heart.In the previous battle with Frontier Town, the two sides did not enter into close combat, and the lizardmen used old muskets and were placed on one side of the defensive line, so Duke Eddie and they did not know about the existence of the lizardmen."
Quick!
Run south!
”Duke Eddie immediately urged.Unexpectedly, the border town still had an intersection with the subhuman race, and he must flee back to report the matter to the new king White.The subhuman race, like the undead monsters, is regarded as an enemy by the ruling class of the Dawnlight Kingdom, and to be friendly with the enemy is to be an enemy of the kingdom.Even though the churches controlled by the New School were already preaching racial equality, it was a pity that the ruling class of the Kingdom of Dawnlight did not embrace this idea."
Drive!"
After confirming that Duke Eddie was seated, the groom quickly waved his whip and fled south in the carriage.When the other knights and nobles saw Duke Eddy's carriage, they mounted their horses, abandoned the camp, and fled after him.Leave the camp and head south, and when Duke Eddie and they have run some distance, they will be able to see Viscount Jarvis's team in the distance.The opponent is also lined up in a straight line, holding a short stick in his hand, attacking and advancing slowly.Seeing that there were several mercenary corpses lying in front of the team, Duke Eddie hurriedly told the groom to stop.At this moment, he was already in despair, how did the enemy appear here?
Could it be teleported?
I was caught in the front and back, what should I do now?
In a panic, Duke Eddie could only issue orders to the nobles and knights around him."
Hurry up, with such a thin formation, you will definitely be able to break through easily."
However, the group of nobles and knights remained in place, looking at each other, and no one was willing to obey Duke Eddie's orders.They knew very well in their hearts that the short stick in the enemy's hand was very powerful, and rushing over was looking for death."
Go now!"
Seeing that this group of people was indifferent, Duke Eddie couldn't help but let out an angry roar.Bang!
A bullet that flew from nowhere hit the groom in front of Duke Eddie in front of him, killing him with a headshot."
Bah-" The eyes of the people present widened with fright at this scene, and Duke Eddie was even more frightened and raised his hands directly and shouted loudly: "I am Duke Eddie, I surrender!"
Don't kill me!
”Even Duke Eddie raised his hand in surrender, and the siege was quickly over.Many laid down their arms and surrendered, their hands bound by the soldiers, and then all escorted back to the camp.As it grew dark, the mercenaries who had surrendered were driven into the middle of the camp, where they were guarded by two squads of soldiers.The nobles and knights were placed in another place to be closely guarded.The others didn't matter, the focus was on the nobles, and after counting, it was confirmed that six more nobles had been killed in the siege, and the highest title was the Earl of Corret.It is a pity that Count Corette never saw his son Victor until his death, even though his son had gone mad.And the gratifying thing is that Count Yum was also captured alive, so he can be regarded as having an explanation for Kuros.By this time, it was already completely dark, and Owen instructed a soldier to bring Duke Eddie over.Finally caught this guy, Owen has a lot of questions to ask him.In addition to Owen, there were Marpel, Teresa, Viscount Javis, Rusha, and Yuchina in the tent.Yuchina, of course, is here to use her abilities.Owen sat in a wooden chair, and Yuchina stood beside him, her little hands clutching her forearm and pinching it if the other person was lying.Others stood on either side, wanting to hear what Duke Eddie would have to say when he arrived.was brought into the tent, Duke Eddie was reluctant to kneel in front of Owen, but was kicked hard by Viscount Jarvis, and he was honest.After kneeling down, he looked up at Lu Sha, who was clasping his arms in his hands, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Marquis Eisen, you actually have an intersection with the lizard people, aren't you afraid that the new king will blame you?"
”"Duke Eddie, you're a captive now, and you're not qualified to ask me questions."
Owen said coldly."
Humph!"
Duke Eddie turned his head away and said no more."
Duke Eddie, in fact, the reason why you lost so badly is because of the good things you did last winter."
Next, Owen cocked Erlang's legs and said deliberately: "In order to deal with the undead monsters, I had to invent and manufacture muskets and cannons, and also formed a well-trained army, I am really 'thanking' you." ”It seems that if the Templars had come and successfully recruited adventurers to come over through the Adventurers' Guild to help, Owen would not have been so eager to develop the military weapons-related industry.At that time, after the restoration of the northern wall was completed, Owen might give priority to the development of some light industry and expand the scale, and sell the products manufactured through some large chambers of commerce, and use the profits to improve the situation of the border town.Of course, this is not to say that military weapons will not be developed, but that they will be postponed.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
