The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 566
Earl Crags left with more than 4000 main troops, and Madam Aisona said to Fang Ziyi in her tent: "How about the bed crossbows that you let craftsmen make that can make a lot of noise and damage?" gone?"

Fang Ziyi bowed cautiously and said: "Because of the shortage of craftsmen, mainly master craftsmen who can make this kind of equipment, weapon masters, and master blacksmiths, we have only made [-] at present, but they are used to bombard a bomber. A mound of wood and sand by the river would suffice, I think."

Mrs. Aisona stood up and said to the maid beside her, "Change clothes." Turning her head to Fang Ziyi, she said, "Get ready, let's go to battle and completely defeat King Harlaus's marshal. Otherwise, those desperate lords who hate a woman stepping on their heads will soon reveal their nature and abandon me, just like they abandoned Harlaus."

Fang Ziyi hesitated for a moment, and said to Mrs. Aisona: "Before that, madam, can you host a captive exchange, or allow me to exchange the ransom for my captured viscount."

Mrs. Aisona gave her a dissatisfied look, "When we capture the castle, your viscount will be rescued. Go down and prepare. We will finish off the enemy within today. Tomorrow we will go to Harlengosberg to rest. Go to join Earl Crags and seize the new territory of the Kingdom of Swadia along the coast of Nord. In the future, the Kingdom of Nord will not exist on this continent. The land they seized by defeating my father's generals and lords, I want to return the seaside territory I seized."

Fang Ziyi had no choice but to go down and prepare extremely unhappy. She became an earl relying on the trust of Mrs. Aisona. This is very unreasonable, because she has no military achievements. Most of them are traversers and players, and only a small number of them are NPC soldiers in the territory, and their combat effectiveness is not very high. Her current territory is some villages. Not much stronger, not even a meter of land, there is only a daughter of a noble kingdom, an orthodox one with the status of inheriting the throne.

In the castle called Tubao, Zhang Qiang was patrolling the city wall. Following the news brought back by the scouts, he knew that some of the opponent's troops seemed to be gone, but he was not sure, because most of the opponent's soldiers were of the same rank. The tall soldiers and his low-level scouts didn't dare to approach the enemy's camp for reconnaissance, and they were surrounded by the river, and they rarely crossed the encirclement to detect the enemy's situation and then sent the information back.

Only high-level thieves like Boercha have such abilities, but Boercha is alone after all, Zhang Qiang sent him to scout the situation of the enemy on the opposite side of the river, at present, the only way to break through is to break out from the opposite side of the river Although this will cause him to lose some luggage and equipment, even the infantry has to discard heavy equipment, weapons, and even a lot of grain, food, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to run out of the enemy's territory and return to the enemy's territory under the pursuit of the enemy's cavalry. own territory.

Tianci has already said it clearly enough, something happened to his territory, the territory was captured, Lana was surrounded, Lunvadia Castle was captured, and the six former counts of the Swadia Kingdom were besieging their own territory , although there are Earl Aguer and Viscount Rogerson guarding the territory, and Zhou Porridge Zhou also rushed back to co-chair the work with Ramerson.

But the enemy's attack was unexpected, and he had to deal with not only the threat of the Kingdom of Swadia, but also Sergi Khan, who had been eyeing him but couldn't get away from internal friction, and his lords Nayan Hugu and Nayan Boli. The two of them are currently fighting fiercely, and there is also the Nord Prophet Kingdom, which is currently at war with the Kingdom of Swadia. Although Ragnar of the Nord Kingdom has to deal with several aspects, but after hearing his own After the territory was attacked by many people, he would not also think about biting off a piece of meat from himself to make up for the Nord southern coastal territory he lost in the confrontation with the Kingdom of Swadia.

Borcha came up and whispered to Zhang Qiang: "I checked, there is no Madam Aisona's troops in the internal fighting within fifty miles, and I don't know when they withdrew, but they still have a lot of troops guarding the stone bridge." So, if we can quickly build a pontoon bridge at night, let the cavalry pass first, and then cover the infantry to cross the river, we can escape fifty miles in the dark, then the next day, even if they find us, it is impossible After us."

Zhang Qiang's heart moved, "You mean they withdrew the troops on the other side of the river?"

Borza said: "At least in my opinion, I have searched every ravine and found no trace of them. Judging from the footprints on the ground, they withdrew this morning. At that time, the morning fog was still very thick. It is so dense that it is impossible for us to see how many people passed by on the stone bridge, and besides, they may have walked from the stone bridge in the direction of Wind Coburg."

"The enemy is attacking. There are 100 infantry, 500 cavalry, and [-] archers. There are more than [-] people pushing siege equipment, and about [-] more troops can be seen around the camp."

The soldiers on the watchtower loudly reported what they saw.

Zhang Qiang raised his head and asked, "Did you see the enemy from other directions?"

The soldiers on the watchtower were silent for a while before returning: "I didn't see any enemy soldiers from other directions. The stone bridge and the enemies surrounding us were all gone. The enemies seemed to be going to a decisive battle with us. Soldiers, there is not a single enemy in sight from other directions."

Zhang Qiang glanced sideways at Fatis and Earl Glenward, who was walking up the wall on the other side, and muttered to himself, "Impossible, even if we hurt the enemy too much yesterday, it's impossible for us to be so small." , They still have at least [-] troops, where did the [-] troops go?"

Earl Glenward had already walked to Zhang Qiang's side, and carefully picked up the modified monocular telescope beside Zhang Qiang. With the improvement of François, Sebastian, and the three craftsmen of Yatiman, it is made of better quality black iron spar and ebony, and its efficacy is no less than that of military telescopes in the real world.

During the daytime, even compared to the coatings of so-called high-tech products in the real world, products such as optical imaging are much better. It sounds like magic-blessed wood. The telescope is already like a powerful astronomical telescope. Not only the magnification is high, but it is not like the telescope in the real world. The higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view and the clearer the view. The disadvantage of seeing less things, this thing is like a wide-angle lens plus a video recorder, which can bring distant things closer to the eyes, and then like a small movie, the distant scene is imaged in the human body. on the retina.

The monoculars slowly scanned the enemy's troops preparing to attack, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "Look over there, what is that, I haven't seen it before, but it looks like the bed ballista we made, but it doesn't look like it. "

Zhang Qiang took the binoculars and looked in the direction of Earl Glenward's finger. When he finally froze for a second, Zhang Qiang's hand trembled, and he turned to the soldiers and said, "Go and call the Viscount Tianci."

"Is there something wrong?" Wei Wuji and Chen Faqiao walked up and saw Zhang Qiang's solemn expression.

Zhang Qiang shook his head, then picked up the binoculars and continued watching.

He shouted in his mouth: "Let all the soldiers go down to the bottom of the city wall and wait for orders. Let the crossbowmen enter the shooting port under the city wall, open the hidden shooting port, and prepare to meet the enemy."

Earl Glenward, "Earl Zhang Qiang, let the soldiers go down to the city wall. If the enemy's infantry climbs up the city wall, won't we be massacred by the enemy condescendingly?"

Zhang Qiang ignored him, but thought about the strange bed ballista mentioned by Tianci, what is it called?Fly kites, artillery wagons with the black powder of this world.

The scene of artillery shooting in the real world is chilling. If you stay on the city wall, the soldiers are like targets and are massacred by the enemy, which is the most uneconomical.

What Zhang Qiang wanted was to wait for the enemy's infantry to attack the city wall, take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy and us being strangled together, and defeat the enemy with his own numerical advantage. You can send your own soldiers on board, which will reduce casualties.

But what is worrying is where the rest of the enemy's 4000 people have gone. Zhang Qiang is always uneasy.

Gradually, the enemy's team has approached the city wall, reaching 500 meters away.

But the enemy is still approaching. Seeing that the distance has reached 300 meters, at this time, the enemy began to stop approaching. The infantry spread out to both sides, and more than 100 enemies behind pushed the kind of bed ballista mentioned by Tianci. Step forward, like an artilleryman, and start measuring the distance in a decent manner, loading and unloading the bed crossbow as thick as a thigh and two meters long.

A soldier held a torch and approached the bottom of the package carefully. Suddenly, a spark erupted. The soldier holding the bed crossbow waved his hand vigorously, and the bed crossbow flew out under the action of the elastic rubber band, bringing The whistling sound came towards the city wall.

"Boom——" Zhang Qiang felt the dirt wall under his feet shake, and then there was a loud noise from the place where the bed crossbows were concentrated. He saw sawdust and dust flying there, and two soldiers who were watching happened to be standing on the edge of that section of the city wall. Above, it was blown up and flew up, one fell outside the city wall, fell into a daze, on the ground like a live fish landed on the shore, jumped a few times, and then remained still.

Presumably he was dead.

The other one fell inside the city wall, and there was a panic and uproar. It must have smashed into the queue of soldiers under the city wall.

Life and death do not know.

At a distance of 300 meters, within the range of the God Arm Crossbow, Zhang Qiang was not the one who would not fight back after being hit, so he immediately shouted loudly to get people to fight back.
