Release that Witch - Chapter 459

[Chapter 452 One System]

The rebel nobles were vulnerable to the offensive of the First Army. The only few frontal firefights were decided after a round of salvos. They didn’t even need to replace the bullet nests. The corpse fled.

Most of the time, it was just the unilateral pursuit and search of the First Army.

With the speed of clearing a territory every day, Iron Ax successively captured the camps of the elk, running wolf and wild rose family, but when the troops advanced to the territory of Maple Leaf, the momentum of the attack slowed down.

They ran into unexpected trouble.

“Damn it, it’s no different from a fortress,” Brian looked at the Earl’s Mansion standing in front of him, and spat angrily, “There’s even a moat!”

“Did anyone get injured in the round of attack just now?” Iron Ax asked with a cold face.

“Two unlucky ones were injured, one was shot in the arm, and the other was shot in the back when retreating, but fortunately, it’s not a big problem,” Brian frowned. There are only crossbows and short bows, and we can’t get any benefits.”

Iron Ax knew that the other party was right, and no one expected that Earl Maple Leaf would actually build his house into a tower, and it was built on the mountain, backed by a piece of land. rocky cliffs.

The stream flowing down from the impenetrable mountains was led into a ditch more than five meters wide, forming a “small moat” surrounding the mansion. Because it was running water, although it was covered with floating ice and snow, it was not completely frozen.

There is only one entrance to the entire tower. If you want to attack the gate, you must cross the arch bridge, which is also the key point for the enemy to mark.

There was no shelter around the Earl’s Mansion, and it was all flat snow. Shooting from a high point made up for the disadvantage of the short range of the crossbow. After two rounds of tentative attacks, the first army only killed three or four people on the other side. And several people on our side were injured.

“It would have been nice if the artillery battalion was here,” Brian said angrily, “Shoot a few rounds at the gate, and you won’t believe he won’t surrender.

” Deep.” Iron Ax looked up at the sky, “Go here first today and arrange for soldiers to set up camp.”

The fiefdom of the Maple Leaf family is located in the northwest of Longsong Fortress, next to the Impassable Mountain Range, which is also the edge of the Western Territory.

It would take nearly a day just to walk here, and with the snow on the road unattended, the 12-pound field gun could hardly move an inch.

According to the information they obtained, the Maple Leaf family contributed very little in this rebellion, not even the Earl himself, which means that the opponent’s strength is almost intact, if they all hide in this fortress-like tower without siege weapons It’s really hard to deal with.

At night, bonfires were lit in the camp tents.

“What about tomorrow?” Brian added a piece of firewood to the fire pit, “Order the soldiers to charge up with arrows? As long as they can blow up that damned iron gate, their time of death will come.”

But the First Army will also After paying more than a dozen casualties, Iron Ax shook his head and did not answer.

If it was in Iron Sand City before, let alone ten people, even if it was a guard team of a hundred people who were entrusted to him to lead, as long as they could complete the tasks assigned by the patriarch, even if they were all filled in, he would not hesitate.

But after arriving in the Western Region, he saw with his own eyes how these soldiers grew to where they are today, and when he thought of the hard work His Highness Roland put into them, he felt a little bit reluctant.

After being silent for a long time, he

breathed out, “Please witch.”

Brian was stunned, “Looking for them?”

Ability to complete tasks independently at all times.

But now is not the time to compete. In order to achieve the goal of unifying the western region within a week and minimize casualties, he will not bite the bullet with inexplicable self-esteem.

Because His Highness also said that a good general is one who is responsible for the lives of his soldiers.

“Send out the messenger and say that we are in trouble and need Miss Maisie’s help,” he ordered.

The next morning, Maggie and Lightning rushed to the camp, “What happened?”

“Googoo?”

Iron Ax coughed twice, and briefly described the current thorny problem, “The enemies are mainly concentrated on the top of the tower, and the rifles can’t kill them. In addition, there is an iron gate blocking the entrance. It is difficult for the First Army to get close to planting explosives. Please open the exit.”

“Leave it on us,” the little girl said, patting her chest.

Throwing explosives was no stranger to the two of them, and they had trained with the First Army when they were in the small town.

Iron Ax nodded, and immediately set about arranging soldiers to prepare for the final general attack—whether the explosive pack could have the expected effect or not, at least it could deter the enemy. Taking advantage of this time, they should have enough time to destroy the iron gate.

“You want to go into battle yourself?” Brian looked at the spear on Iron Ax’s back in surprise, and stuffed the loaded magazine into his belt.

“Rather than rushing for me, it is better to say rushing with me,” Iron Ax smiled, “This is what His Highness often talks about.”

…

When the two of them led the soldiers into the charging position, Maggie’s figure appeared in the sky figure.

She turned into a giant beast and swooped down towards the tower against the rocky cliff. What she was holding in her sharp claws was a pack of new-style explosives.

Everyone saw this astonishing scene, but the difference was that the first army suddenly burst into loud cheers, while the top of the tower fell into chaos. The mercenaries and guards of the Maple Leaf family turned their bows and crossbows towards the giant beast. Shooting, unfortunately with little success.

And Maggie has already completed the accumulation of speed, she spread her huge wings and flapped vigorously, pulling her figure up sharply, and at the same time loosened her claws.

The explosive package was like a fired shell, whizzing straight towards the top of the building——

Iron Ax felt the surroundings become silent for a moment, and then he saw a dazzling fireball rising from the top of the tower. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook!

The whole world seemed to be trembling, a huge column of smoke rose into the sky with snow and mist, and a wave of heat rushed towards him, he couldn’t help but take two steps back, his ears hurt from the shock.

This is…the power of the gods!

Iron Ax couldn’t help but recall the first time he witnessed His Royal Highness testing black powder, but this time, the explosion was far more powerful than before, and he could still feel the scorching heat contained in the fireball from a distance of nearly 100 meters.

As for those enemies who came into contact with Heaven’s Punishment at close range on the roof, one can imagine the fate.

After silently praying to the three gods, he raised his spear forward, “For Your Royal Highness, the first army, the whole army charge!”

“For Your Highness!” The soldiers chanted slogans and rushed towards the Earl’s Mansion.

This time… no one dared to stop them.

When Iron Ax returned to Longsong Fortress, it happened to be the evening of the sixth day.

The entire Western Territory was finally under Roland’s control.
