Release that Witch - Chapter 456

[Chapter 449 Battle Situation]

…

Roland walked into the messy castle. Pedro and Earl Hermon were already kneeling in the hall, welcoming him.

All the corpses on the ground had been removed, but the bloody smell still lingered, and broken furnishings and broken weapons could be seen everywhere. He could almost imagine the scene where the two sides fought repeatedly during the battle for the castle.

“Get up,” Roland walked up to him, bent down and held his arm.

“Yes,” Pei Luo’s voice was choked with sobs, “Your Highness, you are finally here.”

“You have done a good job,” he said in a deep voice, “The four major families will pay the due price for this, and the murderer will be punished.” Bring it

to justice.”

“I failed to defend Longsong Fortress for you…”

“You have tried your best, and it’s not your fault,” Roland sighed.

Pei Luo is not a manager who is good at fighting. It can be seen from the previous Qingqi seizure of the city and this noble rebellion that he is good at managing territories, proficient in trade, and good at capturing opportunities, but he is not a strategist. Fighting and intrigue are not my thing.

This time, if the Second Army hadn’t been stationed in the castle in accordance with the emergency measures, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to last for two days.

But this does not mean that Pei Luo Hermon is not a good manager.

If he is not good at fighting, I should give him a territory that does not need to be fought. Compared with talents who can fight, Roland prefers operators with business minds.

“I believe there must be an incentive for this riot.” He looked around at everyone present. “This is an outright conspiracy. The enemy is trying to subvert the order of the Western Territory, so as to seek interests that do not belong to them!

” The vigilant soldiers of the First Army and the wounded knight behind Peiluo all looked at His Royal Highness with scorching eyes.

“For this reason, they did not hesitate to commit serious crimes, murder nobles, and kill the people. After today’s World War I, I don’t know how many people will lose their families and how many houses will be looted. But in the end, their conspiracy failed. Your unyielding resistance prevented the fortress from falling into a greater tragedy, your performance is called heroic, and your will is commendable!” The

knights unknowingly pushed their chests higher.

“But the battle is not over yet, these rebels are fleeing in a panic, and it’s time for us to take revenge! I swear, no matter where the enemy hides, they will not be able to escape the coming judgment, no matter in the territory of the four major families… …Still in the capital!” Roland paused, and said firmly, “The culprit who caused the rebellion will definitely be punished! Your blood… will not be shed in vain!”

“Long live Your Highness!” Pei Luo and He Count Ermon knelt down again.

“Long live Your Highness, long live!” Then came the surviving knights and soldiers of the Second Army.

Soon everyone knelt down on one knee, stood up straight with their upper bodies, put their right hands on their chests, and shouted a slogan in unison.

“Your Highness Roland, long live!”

…

After appeasing the people present, Roland summoned Peiluo, Vanner, Brian and Iron Ax to the study on the third floor of the castle. This was also the only place that had not been invaded. intact.

He knew that he would probably spend the next few days here.

The first is to understand the battle situation in the city. He looked at Iron Axe, who immediately came out to report: “The north gate and east gate occupied by the four major families have been taken back by the witch, and now the first army is under the guidance of Miss Sylvie. Clear up the rebels in the city, and the order in the city should be restored by tomorrow morning.”

“What about the casualties?”

“There are six people injured so far, all of them from the Rifle Battalion, but they have been treated by Miss Nana.”

“The first What about the Second Army? Has it been counted?”

“Not yet… But judging from the news so far, the casualties are relatively heavy,” Bryan hesitated, “The two teams that went to support the city wall were defeated and have not been gathered so far. Among the fifty people stationed in the castle, Eleven people were killed in battle, and almost none of the soldiers patrolling the city wall survived.”

Roland nodded, and it was also due to the low intensity of wars in this era that the hundred or so people were able to persist for two days, especially when the enemy lacked When attacking fortified weapons effectively, the defensive side can often occupy a greater advantage.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the opponent also used firearms, relying on the flesh and blood of mercenaries and personal guards, I’m afraid it would be difficult to break through the lord’s castle-at the beginning of the design, this building was fully considered to prevent enemy attacks.

Thinking of this, he ordered Iron Axe, “Go and show me some firearms used by the rebels.”

Roland was quite concerned about the new hot weapons of this era, although he knew that this day would come sooner or later since Snow Powder was born. It will come, but Timothy’s research and development speed really surprised him.

The iron ax quickly carried out the order, and half a quarter of an hour later, several long-barreled weapons of different lengths and shapes were moved into the study by the soldiers.

After seeing the real objects, Roland quickly understood why the other party was able to build these weapons in such a short period of time.

In a sense, these long tubes cannot be called muskets. They have no trigger, no firing device, and are just a length of metal tube with holes at both ends.

One end is deep, used to load gunpowder and projectiles, and a needle-like hole is left at the end for ignition; the other end is shallow, and it is a handle after being inserted into a bamboo pole or wooden stick.

In terms of structure, it is very similar to the prototype of the musket – the Huomen gun.

The loading process of this primitive firearm is the same as that of the flintlock, but the firing is more troublesome, requiring the gunner to clamp the wooden pole under his armpit and light the gunpowder with an open flame in the other hand.

Due to the limitation of posture, UU reads www.sonicmtl.

Com can’t even aim when shooting, it can only point roughly straight ahead.

But it is still an out-and-out hot weapon. Despite all the inconveniences, its firing principle is exactly the same as that of a flintlock gun. Even the knight armor can’t block its blow.

Moreover, it is obvious that Timothy has spent a great deal of effort on the transformation of these different types of fire door guns. Cast copper, the surface is relatively smooth.

Considering that this is just an experimental product aided to the four major families, Timothy’s own firearm should be better.

It’s just… no matter how good a fire door gun is, it’s still a fire door gun.

When the spring offensive was launched, Wang had no chance of winning against the western army equipped with revolver rifles, bolt-action rifles and heavy machine guns.

Roland turned his gaze back to the four of them, “Starting tomorrow, the First Army will recover the outskirts of Longsong Fortress one by one, and any nobles who resist can be killed on the spot. I hope that in a week, the entire western region will be unified!”

” As ordered, Your Highness!” The four responded in unison.
