Although Roland asked the First Army to train twice a week, he never tried to march at night.

It is dangerous to dispatch troops at night. He cannot see the road clearly, is easily attacked by wild animals and poisonous snakes, and is easily disoriented. Raising a torch is a natural target. Therefore, he had to wait until dawn the next day to let the team set off and follow the Duke Alliance.

In order to ensure the smooth operation, the prince decided to follow the First Army in person. Of course, he chose to take the township to accompany him instead of riding a horse that was bumpy and scrubbing.

After half a month of training, the Hummingbird was able to control the lightweighting time of the twelve-pound cannon within a fixed range. Considering the long enchanting process, Roland arranged for her to convert the cannon at dawn, so that the first one lasted the longest, and the remaining few were reduced in turn to ensure that the failure time of the four lightweighting failed as much as possible.

Thanks to the Hummingbird's ability, the Town can now carry four artillery and members of the gun crew at one time. The huge cement ship is full of people. In addition to the artillery team and Roland, the town is also Anna, Nightingale, Nanava, Leaf, Echo, Hummingbird and Tigu. Pine and Wendy are responsible for providing power, and the steering is Brian.

It can be said that apart from the books that are not good at fighting, Soroya, Lily and Mysterious Moon, the witches in the Border Town almost came out in full bloom. Originally, Anna did not need to go to the battlefield, but her firm eyes made Roland unable to make up in the end.

The land troops were the musket army of the First Army, led by the chief knight Carter and Iron Axe. Lightning was responsible for the full-time positioning and tracking mission. A group of people followed the enemy quietly, just outside the range of the reconnaissance cavalry patrol. Once the lightning discovered that there were reconnaissance cavalry activities, the army would stop advancing. Along the way, they also captured many separated mercenaries and free people, but they could not deal with these surrendered enemies at this moment. They had to disarm and take care of the team members who were not assigned to the musket and take them on the road together.

This was also the first time Roland led a "large army" to conquer the enemy. He stood at the bow of the township boat, feeling the morning breeze blowing towards him, and felt a little confident in his heart.

"What are you laughing at?" Anna suddenly appeared beside him and asked with a look.

"Uh..." Roland instantly put away his smile, "Nothing."

"Is that?" She handed a handkerchief and "wipe her saliva."

"..." Roland suddenly felt the urge to jump into the water, "Thank you."

When the lightning reported that the other party was camping, it was already the sun set. Compared with the uninterrupted reconnaissance, it was obvious that after a big defeat, the morale of the coalition troops had dropped to freezing point. As soon as dusk, the reconnaissance knights could not wait to rush back to the camp, fearing that they would miss the horse meat at night.

Roland's troops were stationed on the shore two kilometers away from the Duke's army.

Undiscovered along the way, the annihilation plan was half successful.

Next, just wait until dawn and complete the encirclement before the enemy sets off.

This was also the first time Roland spent the night in the wild. He was more inclined to sleep on the boat than the camp where various reptiles were rampant. The wooden shed where the cannon trucks were emptied out. The members of the gun team unloaded the twelve-pound cannons and moved into the camp. The town became the prince's temporary palace. In addition to Roland, other witches also stayed on the boat overnight. Everyone covered the shed and lay shoulder to shoulder with their clothes.

Roland wanted to be reserved, but found that the witches were less concerned than him. Apart from Anna, they were all people who suffered a lot. It was common for them to sleep in the wild during the days of wandering. After a while, everyone fell asleep, and only Roland and Anna couldn't fall asleep. The former was used to soft beds and could not adapt to the hard deck bed for a while, while the latter didn't know what they were thinking and kept staring at Roland. When the prince turned his head, Anna would always close her eyes quickly and pretend to be asleep, but under the reflection of the moonlight, she could still see her eyelashes trembling slightly. If it weren't for the fear of disturbing others, Roland really wanted to pinch the tip of the other party's small nose and force her to open her eyes and then hug her in her arms.

In this way, the two of them almost didn't sleep all night.

Before the sky was bright, Roland launched his plan to encircle the troops: 270 infantrymen with muskets should be divided into two groups, one of which was paired with two cannons and sent to the rear of the Duke's army by the town to complete the defense one kilometer away. Lightning is responsible for monitoring the Duke's movements. When the cannons are set up around the back, the little girl will give an indication signal. At this moment, the left-behind troops led by Carter will start a head-on attack.

The unified transportation of cement ships avoids the possibility of marching and dispersing. The black and white vision of the nightingale after entering the fog can be used as a night vision device. She is responsible for the navigator, which can allow the town to have the ability to navigate during the day.

This process has been practiced repeatedly, and everyone knows what to do with their eyes closed. Wendy expanded the wind power output, and the township almost rode the wind and waves, transporting the people and horses to the rear in batches. About an hour later, the interception part led by Iron Axe was in place, and lightning flew above Carter's camp and an orange flag was lit.

It was just dawning.

The encirclement and annihilation plan officially began.

Since the echo was assigned to the rear to fight, the musketeers responsible for the frontal attack did not need to move to fight. They just had to line up in a battle line and protect two cannons. The twelve-pound cannons were quickly pushed to the position and fired at the enemy battalion. At this time, most of the Duke Army were still sleeping.

With the rumbling sound of artillery fire, solid artillery shells roared toward the camp. The knights and mercenaries who were awake in the dream rushed out of the tent, but found that the First Army had lined up and were waiting quietly. With the experience of a crushing defeat the day before yesterday, no one dared to challenge this seemingly thin line of defense, and could only flock to the east.

The iron axe has been waiting behind it for a long time.

When the enemy appeared in sight, the encirclement and annihilation plan finally reached the moment to close the noose.

As the echo played the marching music, the first army 150 people lined up in two neat rows, stepping towards the enemy. In order to put pressure on the Duke army, the iron axe responsible for interception must take the initiative to attack. If they stick to their original position, the enemy who came to their senses would probably give up their mounts and flee from the woods by detour.

Duke Ryan was already in despair, and he couldn't understand how the other party appeared behind them.

He admitted his failure and surrendered? He didn't know how Roland Wimbledon would treat a duke who dared to show his blade to the royal family. It might be imprisonment, exile, or even more likely to be sent directly to the guillotine. No matter which, the Changge Fortress will definitely have nothing to do with him in the future.

Seeing the troops approaching step by step, and the terrifying weapons that roared and fired from time to time behind the opponent, he knew that if he didn't rush at this moment, there would be no possibility of rushing over. There were only more than thirty people left by his side, which was his last chance.

"They can't stop us at all," the Duke yelled. "As long as they cross this horizontal formation, they can't catch up with them with their legs alone. We are only half a day away from Changge Fortress! Knights, follow me to charge!"

Then the duke began to urge the mount to accelerate, but unfortunately not everyone was fighting to the death. There were only ten people including the personal guards who followed him, but he no longer cared about so many.

The music ended abruptly.

The other party stopped in an orderly manner and stood in front of him like a wall.

Then he saw the men holding up the short wooden sticks in their hands.

When Duke Ryan was only a hundred steps away from the human wall, a ping-pong sound rang out one after another, and he felt a shock in his chest and abdomen, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. Then there was paralysis and weakness. He leaned back and fell to the ground from the horse's back.
