The rebel nobles were vulnerable to the offensive of the First Army. The only few frontal exchanges were decided after a volley. Even the bullet nest was not needed to be replaced, and the opponent had already collapsed on the whole line, leaving more than a dozen corpses and fled.
Most of the time, it was just the unilateral pursuit and search of the First Army.
At the speed of clearing a territory every day, the Iron Axe captured the stations of the Elk, Running Wolf and Wild Rose family one after another, but when the troops advanced to the Maple Leaf Territory, the offensive momentum slowed down.
They were in unexpected trouble.
Damn, this is no different from a fortress. Brian looked at the Count's Mansion standing in front of him and spat in anger. He even had a moat!
Was anyone injured in the previous round of attack?Tiexao asked with a cold face.
Two unlucky guys were injured, one was shot in the arm, and the other was shot in the back when retreating. Fortunately, there was no big problem. Brian frowned and said, "It's too much for the soldiers to shoot at the roof from the bottom. Even if the other party only had crossbow arrows and short bows in his hand, we wouldn't get any benefits."
Iron Axe knew that the other party was right, and no one expected that Earl of Maple Leaf actually built his house into a tower form, and it was built along the mountain with a rock cliff on his back.
The stream flowing down from the desperate mountains was introduced into the ditches more than five meters wide, forming a small moat surrounding the mansion. Because it was living water, although it was filled with ice and snow, it was not completely frozen.
There is only one entrance in the entire tower. If you want to attack the gate, you must cross the arch bridge, which is also a key part of the enemy's defense.
There was no shelter around the Earl's Mansion, all of them were flat snow. The shooting that occupied the high point made up for the short range of the crossbow. After two rounds of tentative attacks, the First Army only killed three or four opponents, and several of them were injured.
It would be great if the artillery battalion was here, Brian said hatefully, and hit the gate a few times, and he would not believe that he would not surrender.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get through. It was too far from the fortress and the snow was too deep.Iron Axe looked up at the sky, and let's go here today and arrange for soldiers to camp.
The fief of the Maple Leaf Family is located in the northwest of Changge Fortress, next to the Desperate Mountains, and is also the edge of the Western Frontier.
Just walking here would take nearly a day, and the snow on the road was uncleared, so the twelve-pound field cannon was simply hard to move.
According to the information they obtained, the Maple Leaf family made little efforts during this rebellion, and even the Count himself did not come forward, which means that the opponent's strength is almost intact. If they are all buried in this fortress-like tower and without siege weapons, it is really difficult to deal with.
After nightfall, a bonfire was lit in the camp tent.
What to do tomorrow? Brian added a piece of firewood to the fire pit and ordered the soldiers to rush forward with arrows?As long as they can explode that damn iron gate, their death period will come.
But the First Army would also suffer more than ten casualties, and Tie Axe shook his head without answering.
If he was in Tiesha City before, let alone ten people, even if the guards of a hundred people were assigned to him, as long as they could complete the tasks assigned by the patriarch, they would be willing to fill them all in.
But after arriving in the Western Region, he saw with his own eyes how these soldiers grew to where they are today. When he thought of the hard work His Highness Roland injected into them, he was a little reluctant.
After a long silence, he exclaimed, "Please, the witch."
Brian was stunned, looking for them?
Iron Axe didn't want to do this either. He remembered that His Highness the Prince once said that a qualified army should have the ability to complete tasks independently at any time.
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 as much as possible, he will not grit his teeth with inexplicable self-esteem.
Because Your Highness also said that a general who is responsible for the lives of soldiers is a good general.
He released the messenger and said that we were in trouble and needed Miss Maisie's help, he ordered.
The next morning, Maisie and Lightning arrived at the camp. What happened?
Gugu?
The iron axe coughed twice and briefly explained the current difficult problem. The enemy was mainly concentrated at the top of the tower, and the rifles had limited killing to them. In addition, there was an iron gate blocking the entrance, so the First Army could not get close to the placement of explosives, so we can only ask you to open the exit.
Put it on us, the little girl patted her chest.
Throwing explosives is not unfamiliar to them, and they also trained with the First Army when they were in the town.
Iron Axe nodded and immediately set out to arrange the soldiers to launch the final general attack. Regardless of whether the explosive pack can achieve the expected effect, it can at least shock the enemy. Taking advantage of this skill, they should have enough time to destroy the Iron Sect.
You want to go into battle yourself?Brian looked at the iron axe in surprise and stuffed the reloaded bullet nest into his belt.
Rather than rushing for me, it is better to rush with me. Tie Axe smiled, this is what Your Highness often says.
……
When the two men brought the soldiers into the charge position, Maisie appeared in the horizon.
She turned into a giant beast and swept down the tower against the rock cliffs. She grabbed a new pack of explosives in her sharp claws.
Everyone saw this amazing scene. The difference was that the First Army suddenly burst into loud cheers, and the top of the tower was in chaos. The mercenaries and guards of the Maple Leaf family turned their bows and crossbows and shot at the giant beast, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.
Maisie had already accumulated speed. She spread her huge wings and flapped her body hard, pulling her figure high, and at the same time loosening her claws.
The explosive pack is like a cannonball that roars straight towards the roof
The iron axe felt the silence of the surroundings instantly, and then he saw a dazzling fireball rising from the top of the tower. In an instant, the earth shook!
The whole world seemed to tremble until it was trembling. The huge smoke column rose into the air with the snow mist. A wave of heat rushed towards him. He couldn't help but take two steps back, and his ears were shocked.
This is...the power of the gods!
Iron Axe couldn't help but remember the first scene of witnessing His Royal Highness trying to explode black gunpowder. This time, the power of the explosion was far better than that of the beginning. With a distance of nearly a hundred meters, he could still feel the scorching temperature contained in the fireball.
As for those enemies who are close to Tianzhu on the roof, you can imagine the outcome.
After praying silently to the three gods, he raised his spear forward and charged forward for His Highness the Prince, the First Army!
For Your Highness!The soldiers shouted slogans and flocked to the Earl's Mansion.
This time... no one dares to stop them again.
When the Iron Axe Team returned to Changge Fortress, it was exactly the evening of the sixth day.
The entire Western border was finally under Roland's control.
Most of the time, it was just the unilateral pursuit and search of the First Army.
At the speed of clearing a territory every day, the Iron Axe captured the stations of the Elk, Running Wolf and Wild Rose family one after another, but when the troops advanced to the Maple Leaf Territory, the offensive momentum slowed down.
