It turned out that the Earl of Pearl had been deeply aware of the power of musket cannons in previous battles.After being ransomed, he made major changes to his mansion and its surroundings, turning it into a small fortress with impregnable walls.This kind of renovation must have cost a lot of money, and the Earl of Pearl was really willing to do it.Many fortifications were built around the Earl's Palace, and many deadly traps were laid, and only a drawbridge in front of the gate allowed safe access to the palace, but it was put away.The main people who were in charge of holding the drawbridge were the archers in the two towers, and some of the enemies were using muskets provided by the royal capital, as well as several magicians.The edge of the tower's original large window was re-stacked with bricks, leaving only a small opening to kill the enemy.Facing the well-fortified Earl's Palace, the KPA, armed only with bolt-action rifles, suffered for the first time, and seven people were wounded during the attack.Fortunately, Viscount Jarvis soon realized that the Earl of Pearl's mansion was not easy to capture, so he decisively ordered a retreat.Retreat to a safe distance and allow the troops to settle down first, and then he summoned all the officers of captain rank to the tent for a meeting to discuss how to capture the last piece of hard bones."
The opposite side has obviously made a lot of preparations, set up so many obstacles around the mansion, and dug an artificial river in front of the gate of the mansion."
Glancing around the people present, Viscount Jarvis asked, "What do you think will take down it?"
”Only soldiers who have been approved by Viscount Jarvis can be promoted to captain, which shows that they are indeed good enough in their own right, and someone should be able to make good suggestions.In addition to his daily training, Viscount Jarvis would gather the captains together from time to time to study together.The content of the study is not only the well-known famous military works, but also the strange books provided by Owen, such as "The Art of War".After reading that strange book, Viscount Jarvis had a feeling of enlightenment, that is, he didn't know who his grandson was, and every time he asked Owen, he was vague and refused to say it explicitly.If there is such a person in history, this person is definitely a rare genius, and just writing this book is enough to leave a name in history.However, Viscount Jarvis had never heard of this book, and the author's name was very difficult to read, which was really strange."
The main thing is that we lack powerful means of attack."
A captain on the left hand side took the lead and said: "If you can transport the heavy artillery of the border town here, and fire a few shots at those two towers, it will not be easy to take this mansion." ”"It's too late."
The other captain shook his head and said, "Tomorrow is the deadline set by the lord, and the heavy artillery is not easy to carry on the snow.What's more, the number of soldiers stationed on the northern wall has decreased, and heavy artillery is needed to deal with the undead monsters. ”No one mentioned the mortar, as it was a new weapon specifically for the Lizardmen to unify the Mystery Forest, and the shells had been used up, and no new ones were being produced for the time being."
Then send a few soldiers with shields and bows and arrows across the river to deliver explosives.As long as you blow up those two towers and lower the drawbridge, you can rush in. ”"Don't forget, although there are not many of them, there are musketeers and magicians on the other side."
Several captains immediately argued, but they couldn't come up with a good offensive plan."
Why don't we ask someone for help?"
Kadir, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.Hearing this, all the captains turned their heads to look at Kadir in unison, with doubts on their faces, "Who are you going to ask for help?""
Tell me what you think."
Viscount Jarvis also looked at Kadir and asked him to continue."
During the previous attack, the soldiers in our team found that only the front windows of the towers on both sides of the gate were made of masonry, and the back windows were not."
Kadir slowly explained his plan: "So, I would like to ask Miss Angelica and Miss Winnie to carry the explosives and fly around the back of the tower and throw them at the window to blow them up." ”As for why don't you ask the lord with the magic of the lava armor?
That's because after defeating the Black Dragon King, Owen announced to the People's Army that for some inconvenient reasons, the lava armor would not be usable for a long time."
Hmm......"
After a moment of silence, Viscount Jarvis immediately made a decision: "Then adopt Kadir's plan."
However, Miss Angelica is inconvenient to appear on a Pegasus, so she can only ask Miss Winnie. ”This is currently the most feasible option that can minimize casualties, and Viscount Jarvis has no reason not to use it.In the early hours of the next morning, the sky was pitch black.Winnie flew to the KPA camp in search of the firelight, and as soon as she landed, she asked, "I heard that you need my help?"
Ha ha!
Despite the orders, Miss Ben is very powerful!
”As she said this, she reached out and patted her chest, raising her chin haughtily.Viscount Jarvis summoned Winnie into the tent, explained to her in detail what she was to do, and kept telling her not to mistake the use of the explosives.The day had just dawned, and the KPA had already lined up and was ready to launch the final attack.Before the operation began, Viscount Jarvis still instructed uneasily: "Miss Winnie, how to use this new explosive ......"
"Hmm-" Winnie couldn't stand it a little and said angrily: "Lord Jarvis, why are you as verbose as the lord?"
Just doubt my abilities?
”"Uh......"
Viscount Jarvis thought for a moment and decided to wave at Winnie anyway."
I believe in your abilities, go ahead.""
That's pretty much it!"
Winnie smiled happily and immediately lifted into the air with explosives.Looking up at her figure shrinking in the air until it was the size of a sesame seed, Viscount Jarvis turned to face the army awaiting orders."
The action begins!"
The KPA again appeared in front of the Earl's Palace, and the enemy reacted quickly, preparing for battle in the towers and in various places.Instead of shouting the slogan of attack, Viscount Jarvis asked the army to stop at a relatively safe distance and form a standoff with the enemy.It wasn't long before Winnie, who had already circled behind, swooped down from the sky and quickly approached the two towers.Since the enemy's attention was attracted by the KPA at the front, he did not pay attention to the attack from behind.By the time they could react, Winnie had already thrown two bundles of ignited explosives into the tower through the window at the back, and then hurried away from them.Rumble!!!
With a loud explosion and a slight earthquake, the two towers collapsed in an instant, and all the enemies inside were wiped out in an instant, and huge flames and thick smoke rose into the air.The two chains holding the drawbridge were also blown off, and the heavy wooden drawbridge fell.For a moment, the enemy camp fell into panic and fear, after all, no one had seen this meeting.On the other hand, on the People's Army's side, everyone is very calm, isn't it just the explosion of explosives, they have long been used to it.Seeing this, the corners of Viscount Jarvis's mouth rose, and he said in his heart: Good job!
Immediately afterward, he raised his right hand and waved it forward, shouting loudly: "All the army attack!"
Conquer the last territory for your lordship. ”"Oh-" "For the sake of the lord!
”The KPA shouted and rushed towards the Earl's Palace.Having lost their original advantage, the enemy was no match for the KPA at all, and was crushed at the first blow, and many of those who had lost their fighting spirit threw down their weapons and fled.As one of the masterminds of this rebellion, Earl Pearl knew that Owen would not let him go easily, and would definitely execute himself like Duke Eddie.As a result, Earl Pearl did not surrender, and led a small number of loyal subordinates to resist, and finally died tragically under the rain of bullets from the People's Army.And his family did not have the courage to die, and chose to surrender.At this point, the Dongsheng Fortress and the surrounding land are all in the hands of Owen.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
