Release that Witch - Chapter 280

[Chapter 279 Battle Line]

After Iron Ax entered the hall, he gave a standard military salute.

“Tifeco’s troops are expected to arrive at the fork of the Chishui River in four days, so the First Army will set off this afternoon,” Roland ordered bluntly, “The troops stationed in Border Town will meet you at the point of attack, and I will also Hurry over there as soon as possible.”

“Doesn’t the town need to be fortified?”

“All the enemy’s movements are under the surveillance of Lightning and Maggie, so there is no need to divide the troops to defend, all they need to do is gather together and defeat them.” The prince paused, “And the Longsong Fortress needs to leave a hundred people to guard those nobles.”

“Stay… here?” Iron Ax was slightly taken aback.

Roland briefly summarized the orders he had issued to the five families before, “The reason why I gathered them together is for the convenience of guarding. After learning that Timothy is attacking the Western Region, I’m sure no one will think about it. The Second Army The weapons are old and the combat experience is inexperienced. They may not be able to react in time when encountering emergencies, but adding ten soldiers from the First Army can ensure that they will not make waves. I don’t want anything to happen behind the scenes when fighting at the fork of the Chishui River Trouble.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” He replied.

“Are you going too?” After Iron Ax left, Nightingale appeared from behind the chief seat.

“Of course,” Roland spread his hands, “If I don’t go, who else can use Lian’s ability well? I may not be very good at commanding battles, but bunkers blocking roads and tanks hitting faces are my unique skills.”

“Bunkers I understand, what is a tank?” Nightingale looked confused.

“Well… it’s just a carriage pulling the artillery,” the prince coughed twice, “but we don’t have enough horses, so the artillery needs to be transported by the small town, so it can’t be called a tank.”

“That’s why you chose it .”

Honey?” She blinked, “As far as I know, she can tame tigers and leopards to be as docile as horses. But can a cannon pulled by a beast be called a tank?”

“Of course, “Roland couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth, “It can also be directly called tiger style and leopard style.”

Just as he was talking, Carter walked in with a white-tailed kite in his arms, “Your Highness, there is news from Border Town.”

Roland clapped his hands, and saw the white-tailed kite spread its wings as if spiritually, broke free from the embrace of the knight, and flew into the air, gliding After a distance, it landed firmly on his shoulder.

He took out a piece of jerky from his pocket and let the bird swallow it. The bird also consciously raised a paw, allowing him to easily untie the cloth strips tied to it.

This kite eagle was not transformed by Maggie, but one of the air messengers trained by Honey.

They can remember five or six people of different appearances, and hundreds of flight routes, as long as they are taken to a strange place, they can establish a connection with the homing.

This time Roland went to the fortress and brought a total of four messengers. They can go back and forth between two places within an hour, and fly throughout the day without stopping.

In the absence of radio, this is the fastest way to communicate.

Roland spread out the letter paper wrapped in cloth strips and quickly browsed through it.

The sender is Wendy, and she has brought Shanglian, Sylvie, Ye Zi, Hummingbird and Nana to the fork of the Chishui River according to her request.

Some members of the artillery team and eight artillery pieces also set off with the ship. This is also the maximum number of artillery pieces that can be accommodated on the deck of the Small Town after being lightweight.

The prince calculated in his mind that when Wendy pushed the sail forward at full speed, it would take a day for the cement boat to reach its destination.

Even though Sylvie was the navigator and the ship could sail at night, Wendy’s magic power was far less abundant than Anna’s, and she couldn’t uninterruptedly use her abilities.

So if you rest at night and transport during the day, four days are only enough to make two round trips, and at most sixteen field artillery can be transported to the fork of the river.

Although the number was not as high as the previous battle, considering the unexpected surprise attack and the opponent’s inability to quickly launch a counterattack on the ship, the artillery fire was barely enough.

Roland took the pen and paper from Nightingale, and wrote down a new instruction ordering the garrison troops to set off immediately with weapons and ammunition, and join the Iron Ax troop at the fork in the river.

It only takes half an hour for White-tailed Kite to deliver the letter to Scroll, and then she will hand it over to Captain Brian.

…

It was already the next morning when Roland arrived at the scheduled location.

It was here that the sparkling river split into two, one flowing to Longsong Fortress and the other connecting to Chishui City.

Because the latter has a wider surface, people used to regard it as the main channel of the Chishui River, and the one leading to the fortress was called Xiaochishui.

After disembarking, the witches who had been waiting by the river for a long time came forward.

“Where’s Wendy?” Roland looked around and asked.

“I returned on the Township at dawn,” Ye Zi said, “She said that there is still a batch of artillery to be transported.”

“I heard that you are going to deal with Timothy Wimbledon, who hunts witches in the city every day .”

The false king?” Lian asked impatiently, “What do you want us to do?”

Although Iron Ax and the main force of the First Army have not arrived at this time, the preliminary preparations can be carried out in advance as long as there are witches.

“I need to establish a defense line on both sides of the main river.” He squatted down and drew a simple diagram with a stone. “If this line represents the enemy’s advance route, my troops will be distributed on both sides of the river and attack suddenly in a flanking manner. In order to have a surprise effect, they must first be hidden. Therefore, you need to raise two earthen houses forming a V-shaped angle on the bank. The houses are long and have thick walls. There

is a small window on the side facing the Chishui River.”

“Your Highness, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com I don’t quite understand…” Lian was puzzled, “You can hide your soldiers by hiding them in the earthen hut, but they There is no way to attack the boats on the river. What if the false king’s fleet just sails all the way without stopping or docking?”

“No, they won’t be able to get through,” Roland smiled. , “You will know when the time comes.”

Then he looked at Ye Zi, “You are responsible for covering up these fortifications, weeds and vines are fine, just make them look more natural.”

“Yes,” Ye Zi replied.

In this way, when the artillery is pushed into the camouflaged fortifications, the two seemingly useless earth houses in Lianyan’s eyes will instantly transform into unsinkable “sail battleships”.

At that time, as long as the baffle on the window is lifted, every compartment can spit out deadly flames, and the sixteen field guns will not lose their aim due to bumps. If they can hit the sailboats in the middle of the river, even if they can’t be sunk, it is enough to turn their decks into a Shura field.

And from the very beginning, the enemy was at a disadvantage. Roland thought proudly, tell me, how can T Youqi face lose?
