Black Iron’s Glory

The second hundred and eighty-two chapter grassland gold carving

The enemy dropped five or sixty corpses and fled back. They caused the death of eight people and eight injured in the guards on the wall. Then the first exploratory attack ended. What makes Claude and others strange is that the enemy did not launch a second attack all afternoon, which is a bit too strange.

Claude looked at the enemies in the distance with a monocular, but saw dust there. From time to time, soldiers sent a tree that had been felled, which seemed to be making large siege equipment.

Scree Major looked at the seven or eight wooden carts arranged in front of the ditch in front of the castle. “Where are these wooden carts?”

Next to Diavid said: “Sir, I have let the two soldiers go down the side door to the ditch, to pour the wooden cars into the fire, and at night they can be lit to illuminate to prevent the enemy from attacking.”

This is a good idea. At night, it is a good time for the attackers to use. With the darkness obscuring the vision of the garrison, it is a common means to capture the enemy’s defensive positions in this era. However, now the battalion is stationed in a sturdy and tall castle. It is not a defensive position placed in the mountains. For the attacking enemy, how to climb the wall is the biggest problem.

In the evening, the woodcars arranged in front of the ditch are ignited into a fire for lighting. This can effectively prevent the enemy from touching the wall under the wall with the help of darkness, or use the gunpowder bucket to blow up two doors to open a passage into the castle. However, the front door of this Clarences Count Castle, in addition to the two iron-clad gates outside, there is a two-meter-long iron fence hanging door like a child’s arm, which is placed from the wall. Even if the enemy blew up the two outside gates, it would still be blocked by the iron gate in the gate of the gate, and then become the target of the garrison.

In general, the enemy will not play the idea of ​​the two gates. After all, the original owner of the castle, Loyked Bark Clarous, is in the enemy’s camp. He will not tell the enemy in the attack. It is necessary to pay attention to the places where the two doors seem to be fragile. In fact, it is a trap. The result of attacking from the gate is that they are blocked in the doorway and shot by the guards on the back wall.

“It’s done well.” Scrim Major nodded, praised a probe and looked at the corpses on the ground outside and asked: “Why didn’t the enemy launch an attack, and even the corpse did not come over… ”

Standing next to the second brigade captain, Hemllin Captain, replied: “Sir, it is impossible for the enemy to continue to attack. The first tentative attack did not force us to use the artillery. Instead, we killed and injured so many people. This has already made the enemy realize that our garrison troops are not good to deal with. If I am the offensive party, then with the help of the perfect siege equipment, I can’t continue to let the soldiers get close to the castle. So as not to cause too many unnecessary casualties for your own men…”

This Hemkelin Captain did not perform well in the action of the ambush Canas Dukedom scout, causing his team to lose nearly a squadron and being ridiculed by Claude as a wooden head bag. But after all, from the military’s ten years, it is not easy to climb to Captain’s rank. It is familiar with the methods of defensive position defense and positional attack, and gives a perfect answer.

After a while, I saw an enemy of a squadron with empty hands and white flags pulling a few large carts to transport supplies. This is a corpse. They carried the bodies on the ground to the big cart, and when they were full, they pulled back. The soldiers on the wall looked at the enemy and collected the corpses. They only put a few shots on the ground in their feet when they wanted to pull the seven or eight wooden rafters back. This meant that the enemy’s corpse was not allowed to put the wood. The car is also pulled back.

At five or six in the evening, the soldiers on the wall took two bows and used the rocket to ignite the four wooden carts in front of the ditch under the castle. The wood-plated car with the fire oil ignited the smoke and lit up. A large area around, from time to time the sound of “噼哩啪啦”. There are also four wooden row cars that can be ignited in the middle of the night, just to replace the four that burned.

Claude stunned the middle of the night and found that the enemy had no plans to attack the attack. He found a fur blanket wrapped around his body and found an empty space in the defensive tower on the wall. After two hours of sleep, he was called by the patrolling soldier. This was what Claude had ordered. He must be called up at five o’clock, because this time is the most tired and sleepy time of the night watchman. It is also the time when the offensive enemy likes to launch a raid.

In November, the weather is already cold. The sky was still very dim, and even the fire of the four burning woodcars under the castle only illuminated the surrounding five or six meters. Claude breathed a deep breath, took a few mouthfuls of cool air, and licked his face to wake himself up. Going to the top of the gate, leaning against the wall and listening to the movements around you.

There are no suspicious sounds, only the sound of the wind, the sound of the burning of the woodcars below, and occasionally the slang and grinds of the soldiers in a dream in the castle. It seems that it is impossible for the enemy to launch a surprise attack today, because after a while, the sky will begin to shine, and the soldiers on the wall can easily see the moves of the enemy in the distance.

In the morning, the enemy still showed no signs of attack. Scree Major decided to send a letter to the eagle, reporting to the frontline commander about the situation. What makes him strange is that the two-day frontline command did not send the eagle to send a letter, and did not know what happened.

The delivery of the eagle is a speciality of the Kingdom of Aueras, which is said to have been around for nearly a thousand years. At the earliest time, magician selected a myriad of birds for quick mailing. After comparison, I chose a unique kind of hawthorn in the eastern part of the mainland. After more than ten generations of cultivation, I finally produced a vulture that is comparable to a pigeon. The delivery is extremely accurate. After the founding of Kingdom of Aueras, because of an accident, he got a magic handwriting of how to cultivate this vulture. From then on, this kind of sending eagle became one of the highest secrets of Kingdom.

However, the situation of the eagles that are preparing to leave seems to be somewhat unreasonable. Unlike the usual, the head is full of eagerness to spread the wings of the sky. Instead, it is like a pheasant in a cage, and it seems that some do not want to go out. After repeated inspections, the communications officers found that there was nothing unusual, thinking that the vulture might have been because of the cold weather.

Scully Major will hand the small silver tube with his own secret letter to the communications soldier. The communicationsman skillfully tied the small silver tube to the foot of the eagle eagle. After feeding the eagle eagle to eat a little fresh beef strip, the eagle eagle glimpsed into the air. It is necessary to get on the road. Unexpectedly, the eagle eagle did not fly high, but instead rushed to the distance on the ground.

The people on the wall looked at the black line and couldn’t understand what the eagle had. Then suddenly a soldier’s exclaimed: “That, that is the golden sculpture of the grassland!”

Everyone looked up and found that there were two eagle hovering in the sky above the head. The figure was several times larger than the eagle that sent the letter. The communications soldier suddenly came back and shouted: “No, my eagle…”

A grassland golden eagle seemed to have stagnated in midair, but soon the wings spread out from the sky, and the direction of the eagle was sent to the ground and rushed to the direction. Obviously, this Only the golden eagle found the eagle.

Several soldiers raised the musket in their hands, but they quickly put it down, and the range was not enough. It was impossible to hit the two golden eagle. Now everyone on the wall understands why the sending eagle is not willing to come out, it is where it pre-feels the natural enemies.

The golden eagle plunged into the air. The slashing did not catch the prey, but another golden eagle hovering in the air quickly slammed down from the sky. The two golden eagles simultaneously unfolded the eagle. Chasing.

Makez stared at the two golden eagle chasing the vulture. “There are two big birds coming from. Where have we not seen the golden eagle in the sky?”

Scully Major sighed: “I understand why I haven’t received the homing pigeon communication and the eagle’s letter from the frontline headquarters for the past two days. There are these two birds here, we don’t want to contact the outside. ”

The two grassland golden carvings in the distance should have already hunted the delivery eagle, but what surprised everyone was that the two grassland golden eagle did not dine on the spot. Instead, a golden eagle grasped the eagle with a paw. The body, then two gold carvings flew to the enemy camp and landed slowly. It is not necessary to guess where the two grassland golden eagle came from. Everyone immediately understands that these two grassland golden eagle should be the pets of a certain territory nobility, and now they are used to cut off the communication between the defenders in the castle and the outside world.

“Sir, what did you write on your secret letter?” Hemkelin Captain suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Skerri Major. Seeing that he hadn’t understood it, he pointed to the enemy camps where the two prairie golden eagle landed. .

Scree Major realized this. He wrote a secret letter to report to the frontline commander. But the eagle that sent the letter was hunted by the golden eagle, and the secret letter fell into the enemy’s hands. Hemklin Captain was in a hurry to worry about Scree Major revealing the situation on the castle side in the secret letter, so that the enemy seized the opportunity to attack the castle.

“Nothing, mainly about the enemy’s siege of our troops, and the confidence to be able to hold on for three months, and hope to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and to eliminate the enemy with us…” Scully Major frowned and wrote that he wrote Secret letter, thinking about whether there is a possibility of leaking castle defense information to the enemy.

There should be no major obstacles. Maybe the enemy saw a secret letter saying that the defenders had the confidence to hold the castle for three months and would be vented. Because it is now November, three months later is January and February, the coldest day of the whole winter. It is better to defend in the castle, at least there is a wall to block the wind. In the wilderness outside, it is simply a crime. It is hard to believe that the soldiers and the pampered territory nobility can keep fighting in the snow and ice…

“We have to find a way to get rid of the two beasts, otherwise we can’t inform the information here.” Scree Major stared at the two golden grasshoppers in the enemy camp in the distance. Although the eagle that sent the letter is gone, there are still ten homing pigeons, but as long as the two grassland golden eagle are in the sky, the pigeons can’t fly, and they will only fall to the ground, they are dead. Will not open their wings.

“We can’t deal with these two beasts. They have been domesticated and will not be close to our castle. The range of the firearms is not enough to reach them unless we can lure the two grassland golden eagle into the castle within a hundred meters. Otherwise, we can only watch them hovering in the sky,” said Hem Kling Captain.

“What do you say about the nobility of these territories to domesticate these grassland golden eagle?” Claude asked next.

“This is very simple, one is to show off, the second is to hunt. The nomadic tribes on the prairie have always had the traditional customs of domesticating grassland golden carvings to help them hunt. In the grassland, a grassland golden sculpture is even better than a hound. It can help the owner to hunt the hare and sip these savvy little animals. It is said that the Grand Duke of Kanas has raised a pair of large grassland golden eagle, which can bring a hundred pounds of sheep to the air…” This is the fourth The captain of the brigade, Cod Walker Captain, also ran the wall to watch the fun.

Claude snapped a finger: “Since those territorial nobility tamed the grassland golden eagle for hunting, I think I have a way to lure them down.”

“What?” Scrim Major couldn’t wait to ask, he hated the two golden vultures that had been hovering in the sky.

“When I was young, I was hunting in the mountains and I saw a lot of novels about hunting. I remember that this voyage said that the hunter would lay the net on the ground in order to capture the big bird like the swans, and then pour the fish and shrimp on it. When the bird community in the sky came down to eat fish and shrimp, they rushed out to beat the drums, and the panicked birds could easily put their feet in the grid of the fishing net, so that the hunter could catch a lot of life without the power of waste. bird.

I remember that when we pulled back from Landes Castle, we brought back two fishing nets, right? That was what we used to fish in Dahewan. Perhaps we can also use the fishing net to deal with the two beasts in the sky. Of course, I don’t mean to put the nets on the ground, so it is of no use to these two golden eagle, they are impossible to fall into the castle. ”

Claude pointed to the roof of the main castle in Central District: “I remember that the platform above it is very big. We hung the fishing net. There are not more than one hundred sheep in the garden. Put the lamb on the platform, just in Under the fishing nets, if there are no people on the platform, only the little lambs in the sky will not be able to endure the nature of hunting. It is likely to slam down to hunt down the lambs. As long as they hit the net, at least Can be wrapped up for a while, this time enough for the soldiers on the wall to shoot several times.”
