Section 477: Attack the fortress
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant horizon through the wind and sand, and a smile appeared on his rough face.
"I'm here... white short men, wash your neck and wait!"
...
God-Majesty Fortress.
On the marble platform, a set of mahogany tables and chairs transported from the Kingdom of the Lord were placed. This wood is very different from the mahogany of the civilization era, with a closer texture. The finished furniture products are polished with smooth layers of beautiful patterns. Coupled with the careful carving of skilled workers, even if the materials themselves are not considered, they are enough to become expensive crafts.
Earl Tazville sat on a chair, picked up the coffee placed on the small mahogany table and took a sip, then put it down, took a biscuit from the plate, dipped it in the applesauce from the white porcelain plate, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
He didn't like the job of "Fortress Guard" at all. But there was no way. If he hadn't been quite talented in military affairs, he wouldn't have been appreciated by the Saxon aristocratic circle and was able to jump from the baron to the earl in a short time. Moreover, Tazville had a reason to have to come more than ten years ago. He was still an energetic and impulsive young man. Because of the joke between him and his friends, "I have to have ten people every night, each of them will come twice." At that time, Tazville, who was just the baron, drank half of the bottle of strong liquor. With the stimulation of the rising alcohol, he brought two followers to shout in the fireworks alleys of London City, just like a fully armed hunter rushing into the forest to catch prey.
Whether Tazeville or his friends, they actually just regard this as a game. "Catching" ten women from the fireworks alley, this kind of thing is very common in the aristocratic circle. Although the process seems barbaric, nightclub operators know that they always come to visit the next day or the third day to ask for the women who are "captured" and the "happy gold coins" that must be paid. This is a vague statement by industry insiders and the rule that everyone follows silently.
Tazville was very lucky. He drank too much that day. He was dizzy and walked out of the fireworks alley and came to the intersection of the "T"-shaped street. A very beautiful girl happened to pass by there and was attracted by Tazville. Without thinking, she rushed over and grabbed him and took him back to her residence.
That was the daughter of a marquis.
The family paid 50,000 gold pounds and paid four high-grade estates. However, the Marquis was not interested in these things. He wanted Tazville's head or turned the middle of the damn young man's legs into an artificial concave shape.
From then on, Tazville had to stay in the Fortress of God, forever. The only chance to leave here is to wait patiently, accumulate military merits, and be promoted to Duke.
In the small square in front of the marble platform, a large-sleeved and round-waisted executioner was beating a soldier.
There are no women in the Shenwei Fortress. Although the most primitive desires are not prohibited here, the soldiers who have been stationed all year round cannot be released through normal methods. According to the agreement signed by the five kingdoms and the Holy See, the Shenwei Fortress is jointly managed by all kingdoms, and all supplies and personnel are also borne by each country in proportion. Once a quarter, four times a year, the major kingdoms "organized" a group of women to go to the fortress to comfort the soldiers who had tasted the wind and sand on the Gobi Desert.
After a week of revelry, all women must leave the fortress.
This is a consensus reached by the military forces of various kingdoms for hundreds of years, and then formed a detailed system. This is exactly the same as the ancestor regulations of the northern giants. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult to understand that this is somewhat an excuse, but it is higher than the framework constraints formed by the law on the level of human thinking. But it is undeniable that the effect is indeed very good.
There are large numbers of cattle and sheep in Shenwei Fortress. These livestock are transported from the rear by countries, and they can also arrive for a long time to eat hay. Outside the carnival time of each quarter, officers and soldiers will always compete for the sheep in the fortress. This kind of docile animal, whether male or female, will only bleat when injured. When the strong bully the weak, they always like to scream, and the sheep are just moderate in size and weight... Of course, the fortress defenders sometimes choose cattle or horse, but in terms of the total frequency and the number of "live sheep" is always the first in terms of the total frequency and every time the quarantine officer issues a list of supplies to the rear.
Small soldiers are very popular in Shenwei Fortress, especially those who are weak and speak softly... In fact, the Holy Lord is not fair to humans. Young and handsome men are not just women, they belong to special groups within the fortress. Every year when the recruits arrive, the veterans stationed in Shenwei Fortress will start a new round of distribution. They call young recruits who are easily controlled and look good on the outside "children". The stronger the physical body, the longer the old man who has been in the army, the more "children" they have. Over time, young and handsome little soldiers become a resource inside the fortress. Veterans often exchange "children" with each other, and even use them as goods for trading special goods.
Soldiers like to drink, especially strong alcohol with high-quality ingredients.
Wangyou powder is a new thing that became popular in recent years. Since vendors brought this white powder to Shenwei Fortress, from the supreme commander Tazville to ordinary soldiers, they soon developed a strong demand for this medicine powder.
In addition, sugar and salt are also hard currency inside the fortress.
The soldier kneeling on the ground was covered in blood. He was kicked heavily in the stomach by the executioner, covered his hands and screamed and fell down. Half of his face was stained with blood, his hair was soaked with blood, and several pieces of skin were broken on his forehead, and the torn hair was stuck to his face. He lay on the ground, his whole body trembled, his eyes were filled with fear, and he kept wailing: "Please stop hitting me, I...I will never dare again."
Tazville slowly chewed the biscuits dipped in jam and glanced at it slowly.
This guy seems to be named Tom or Tom? Anyway, it is a name with similar pronunciations.
He is a soldier in the fortress or a veteran who has served for more than five years. According to the class division within the Shenwei Fortress, veterans often have certain power. But this guy is not listed here. He is soft-hearted and keeps his duties honestly. For many years, he has been bullied by others... Tazville never cared about these messy things. If Tom hadn't stole a sheep last night, he wouldn't have been caught and was punished in such an occasion.
The sheep did not belong to Tom, but was the private property of a second lieutenant. The officer bought the sheep half a year ago. He spent a lot of money at that time, and a certificate stamped with the private seal of Tazville.
Sheep are very popular in Shenwei Fortress, and Tazville also took the opportunity to sell live sheep to the officers and soldiers below as a commodity, which made some benefits from it.
Tom was found stealing a sheep, and the lieutenant chased him. During the fight, Tom accidentally killed the lieutenant.
Things are actually very simple, and many people can prove that Tom is an honest person. But all these things don’t matter to Tazville. Staying in the fortress is really boring. You have to find something to do. Since there is such a bad guy who takes the initiative to deliver it to the door, you can’t let it go easily.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Tazville lazily raised his right hand. Seeing this, the executioner stopped and Tom, who was lying on the ground, also showed hope in his eyes.
He endured the pain and begged repeatedly: "Sir, please let me go! I will never dare to do it again."
Tazville looked at the executioner with displeasure: "I mean, give him something amazing."
The burly executioner nodded understandingly, twisted his heel and quickly turned around. The heavy heel of the iron-hungry shoe kicked Tom's head. The poor guy straightened his upper body and lay down again like a tree that was cut down. His body kept twitching, and the wound on his forehead became even bigger.
"Tazzville, you can do whatever you want." After enjoying afternoon tea, Tazville lost interest in the punishment. He made a sentence that suited the wishes of some of the soldiers. Watching a large group of people cheering and rushing into the square and dragging the dying Tom away, Tazville curled his lips and began to consider the content of today's dinner and the program arrangements after the night fell.
There is no woman in the God-Majesty Fortress. This is an iron rule, and even Tazville himself dares not disobey it.
But that doesn't mean he would be as honest as the Puritans. Tazville has two handsome guards who have been spotted since they first arrived a few years ago and were injured in a scout battle "out of reconnaissance and encountering northern giants."
The northern giants were powerful and evil. Their hatred for the whites reached its peak. The giants seized the two poor young men and, with deep malice, cut off their symbols as men. The only purpose was to make the damn white people lose their children and completely lose their fertility.
Tazville has the unique tolerance and mercy of the nobles. He brought these two young people into the account and gave special care.
If they were asked to return to the country as wounded soldiers, their fate would be very miserable and they would be despised by everyone.
Caring for soldiers and their daily lives is the responsibility of the fortress chief.
Since then, Tazeville has added some private projects to domestic supply requirements, such as thin pajamas inlaid with lace, silk underwear, and some semi-coagulated animal oils that are said to increase muscle strength...
Just as Tazville was thinking, a bell suddenly came from the tower in the distance.
Everyone, including the Count, raised their heads at the same time and betted in that direction.
It is the bell sounded by the alert soldiers, which means that an enemy is coming.
This kind of thing seems a bit difficult to understand in Tazville, and the same is true for the officers and soldiers who are busy making fun of poor Tom.
The alert soldiers of Shenwei Fortress seemed to them not very useful, they were just a decoration.
There are signs of all battles, but the front-line troops were defeated and retreated.
There has never been a case where the northern giant left the Dragon Lock Pass and took the initiative to attack the fortress during the uninvited battle.
The adjutant glanced at the alert soldier standing on the top of the tower waving the signal flag, walked quickly to Tazville, and whispered in a strange tone: "Sir, the enemy is coming from the east."
Tazeville nodded slowly: "I saw it."
He felt the same confusion as his adjutant.
East?
What enemies will be there?
...
According to the order of the violent teeth, the Marine Corps made all kinds of preparations. Especially the artillery positions. After completing the preliminary settings, many technical soldiers wore desert camouflage and left to a very close position to the fortress for observation. It was not until the afternoon that the first round of attack finally began.
Although it is not far from the beach, Zhuoqi only brought eighty light guns. It was a practice of splitting the 105mm gun into parts and transporting them to the destination and reassembling them.
The thick wall shattered in the explosion, and powerful shells crossed the walls of the Shenwei Fortress and fell into the interior, bringing fragments of death and fear.
Tazville witnessed the tower breaking from the middle, collapsed with fire and smoke, and saw the soldiers disappearing in the explosion and turning into countless scattered flesh and blood.
There is no doubt that this is a cannon. But the question is, where did the northern giant get this weapon? And in terms of power and range, it is above its own cannon.
"All gun positions opened fire immediately and fired me hard!"
"Kill all these damn barbarians!"
"Open the weapons warehouse and let them taste our awesomeness!"
Tazville was indeed quite capable in military management. He quickly stabilized the situation, and the artillery peddlers began to fight back, and sent a commando of up to 20,000 people to attack the giant army east of the city.
The sunset shrouded the war, and Tazville stood at the top of the city and saw a scene that made all the fortress garrisons unbelievable.
The overwhelming artillery fire enveloped the battlefield. The white musketeers lined up in dense attack formations suddenly became targets, and a single shell could take away dozens of lives. As the fortress artillery positions were blown up one by one, the northern giants also sent infantry. They wore simple armor and fired face to face with the white musketeers. The lead bullet fired by the mezzanine hit the armor and made a crisp impact, but the giant's bullets shot into the target's body, triggering a new round of death.
As night fell soon, Tazville no longer had the pride of being a noble. He became frightened and uneasy, and walked around the command room anxiously.
He was very smart and had already seen that the Divine Power Fortress could not last long under the fierce artillery fire of the giant.
If you are lucky, you can last a few days. If you are unlucky, you may not even be able to survive tomorrow. It was really surprising that there was no information that the northern giants had hot weapons. Unexpectedly, they actually developed such a terrifying cannon, and a gun with a range and precision far beyond imagination.
What exactly happened?
Where is the Kingdom Alliance that attacked the Dragon Lock Pass?
The only thing Tazville could do was send a large number of scouts to deliver messages to the north and south respectively.
