Chapter 134

"Urgent report, the Moonlight Valley Fortress has been recovered, and the Niutou Kingdom has retreated!"

The next morning, Allen also received news from the carrier pigeon that Moonlight Valley had been taken back by the Lionheart Kingdom.

It is rumored that the battle damage of the Niutou Kingdom was not high, and the Lionheart Kingdom spent a relatively high price to invade the city, but unexpectedly the city was full of cracked soil and gravel.

After the assassin's secret reconnaissance, it was found that the Moonlight Valley Fortress was full of spider web-like cracks, the soil was cracked, the earthen houses collapsed, the woods were dug up by the roots, no part of the city was complete, and Moonlight Valley was completely turned into an abandoned city.

The city wall also completely collapsed. During the confrontation with the Lionheart Kingdom, the tauren kept using their abilities to shake the ground, blowing up the whole city.

Next, the Lionheart Kingdom plans to rebuild the wall, and needs a large number of troops to be stationed in Moonlight Valley to prevent the Tauren from playing tricks. For the time being, there is no idea of ​​sending troops to suppress Tomorrow Town.

A few days later, Marianne returned to the city, and there were political rumors from the royal city.

It is rumored that a few nobles went out to take the place of the king's army and conquer Tomorrow Town, but the exact number of troops is still under discussion and there is no definite number.

Because the war was approaching, the surrounding towns of Tomorrow Town also received rumors a few days later. Merchants all rejected the illegal merchants of Tomorrow Town, making low-priced cloth nowhere to be sold, and no one dared to sell high-priced grain.

Only those small villages are still in the process of trading. They have inconvenient roads, and they don't have special carrier pigeons to pass the news. Those who are behind the news don't know that Tomorrow Town has been targeted by anti-lion forces.

There are not many nobles who can participate in the crusade against Tomorrow Town. The old king only sent a Templar Knight of 100 people. The other ordinary soldiers were provided by the lords near Tomorrow Town. The nobles in the western region basically had no idea about Tomorrow Town.

One is the long distance, and the other is that the city walls of Moonlight Valley are gone, and the eastern region is not safe enough. The nobles want to put their private soldiers in the castle just in case.

At the end of September, it is approaching the eve of the late rice harvest.

Wangcheng finally issued an order to mobilize troops. Viscount Morning Glory, Earl Baiyin, Viscount Earl of Nitre Town, nobles from Nan'an Town and other nobles mobilized a large number of troops. There were 300 ordinary lion soldiers and 300 awakened people, a total of [-] people.

This number is huge, but the exact number is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The cat clan assassins have studied the behavior of others for many days, sneaked into the noble rooms many times to check the data, and finally know the approximate number of the army.

The last time Tomorrow Town faced a wave of small beasts without a Beastmaster, the beasts were scared out of courage after being shot for three or four rounds.

The orcs are different. They have their immediate superiors sitting in front of them, and they may charge against the musket attack.

The city walls of Tomorrow Town have not been built into a comprehensive envelopment, and the areas without walls are all undeveloped forests. All kinds of small animals are Allen's eyeliner, and assassins have placed various traps. Entering the forest is almost impossible to guard against. Possibility of pitfalls.

If the opponent underestimates the enemy and is afraid of trouble, he will stand outside the wall and gather troops to attack collectively.

If the opponent does not underestimate the enemy, and at the same time is not afraid of trouble, and instead goes around the forest and breaks into Tomorrow Town, Alan's troops will not be able to pull apart, and factories and houses will be destroyed, or they may not be destroyed.

After all, building another town requires a lot of financial resources, and it would be a pity to destroy it.

Allen tapped the table with his finger. In September, 140 guns were mass-produced. With the addition of the previous Musketeers, the number of Musketeers has expanded to 240.

The first batch of cannons has been processed recently, and the drilling machine driven by the steam engine has drilled out qualified cannon chambers, and three cannons have been produced as qualified, leaving only the cannon test firing process.

These cannons are breech-loading smoothbore cannons, and the shells of each cannon are 32 pounds, or about 14.5 kilograms. The round shells are made of steel, lead and other ores.

Why not make rifled guns is actually a matter of time.

At present, the steam engine in Tomorrow Town has a stable output and can carve rifles, but the output of the steam engine is not high enough. To make the conical shells, it is necessary to establish related process machine tools, and the time cannot be delayed. It is estimated that the other party will press down in three or four days, so we can only produce first. smoothbore gun.

……

The test range, a large open space.

The three cannons lined up, and the artillerymen who had been trained for three weeks stood in a row, with three soldiers in charge of each cannon.

"Lord Alan, can we really defeat the more than 4000 elite soldiers formed by the Lion Heart Kingdom?" Priest Hood wagged his tail with fear in his heart.

He had seen the power of muskets before, it was very powerful, killing people at a distance of dozens of steps, piercing through three millimeters thick plate armor, unrivaled.

But other people have a lot of soldiers, and there are only more than 200 Musketeers in Tomorrow Town. After three rounds of shooting, others can stand out.

Regardless of how tall the ten-meter wall is, you can rest assured that other people are not fools, and they will definitely smash the city wall with trebuchets. When the height of the city wall drops, the Templars will climb over the wall with one jump, and the ordinary lion soldiers behind them can also stand up. Ladder siege.

"You can ask this question after you have seen the power of the artillery." Allen was too lazy to answer the priest's question.

Before seeing the power of the artillery, the orcs were still very worried about their fate. After all, all the assassins were not equipped with flintlock guns yet.

With a flintlock gun in hand, thousands of troops can be shot down.

"Priest Hood, have you forgotten that Master Allen shot a target at a distance of 300 meters? With the range of the trebuchet, you can't get close to Lord Allen at all." Ivan snorted, trying his best to maintain Allen's majesty.

When Hood heard this, he was stunned. This is really the case. The range of the trebuchet is not as good as that of Allen. One shot kills one person at 300 meters. The trebuchet was destroyed before it was assembled.

"Reload!"

With Allen's order, the artillerymen moved and approached the wedge-shaped breech breech of the breech gun.

There are two handles on the breech breech. Yesterday the orcs trained all day without shooting, reloading and reloading, and they have already mastered it by heart.

Now the lions can slide the breech bolt aside with their eyes closed, another lion is responsible for loading the right amount of gunpowder, and another lion is firing a huge steel cannonball, putting it into the big handle, pushing it with hands, and filling it into the barrel .

After a short operation, the rear gun was loaded, and three groups of mixed soldiers composed of lions, tigers, and kobolds stood up straight and saluted Allen.

The orcs watching the rear loading of the cannon also held their breath, and there were more than 1000 people standing there, all of whom were free people from the village.
