Chapter 259

It turned out that Earl Pearl had a deep understanding of the power of muskets and cannons in previous battles.

After being redeemed, he made major renovations to his mansion and its surroundings, turning it into a small fortress with iron walls.

This kind of renovation must have cost a lot of money, and Earl Pearl was really willing to do it.

Many fortifications were built around the Earl's Palace, and many deadly traps were set up. There was only a suspension bridge in front of the palace that could safely enter the palace, but it was put away.

The people responsible for guarding the suspension bridge are mainly the archers in the two towers. Some enemies also use muskets provided by the royal capital, and there are also a few magicians.

The original large window of the tower was rebuilt with bricks, leaving only a small opening for external killing.

Facing the heavily defended Earl's Mansion, the People's Army, which only had bolt-action rifles in hand, experienced hardship for the first time. Seven people were injured during the attack.

Fortunately, Viscount Jarvis quickly realized that Earl Pearl's mansion was difficult to capture and decisively ordered a retreat.

He retreated to a safe distance to let the troops station themselves first. Then he summoned all the captain-level officers to the tent to hold a meeting to discuss how to capture the last difficult bone.

"The other side has obviously made a lot of preparations, setting up so many obstacles around the mansion, and even digging an artificial river in front of the mansion's gate."

Viscount Jarvis glanced at the people present and asked: "What do you think can be done to capture it?"

Only soldiers approved by Viscount Jarvis can be promoted to captains, which shows that they are indeed good enough and someone should be able to make good suggestions.

In addition to daily training, Viscount Jarvis would gather the captains to study together from time to time.

The content of the study included not only known famous military works, but also strange books provided by Owen, such as "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

After reading that strange book, Viscount Jarvis felt enlightened. He just didn't know who his grandson was. Every time he asked Owen, he was vague and refused to explain clearly.

If this person really existed in history, he was definitely a rare talent. Just writing this book would be enough to leave his name in history.

However, Viscount Jarvis has never been heard of, and his name is very difficult to pronounce, which is really strange.

"The main reason is that we lack powerful attack methods."

A captain took the lead and said: "If we can transport the heavy artillery from Border Guard Town here and fire a few shots at the two towers, it will not be easy to capture this mansion."

"That's too late."

Another captain shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is the deadline set by the Lord. Heavy artillery is difficult to carry on the snow. What's more, the number of soldiers stationed on the northern city wall has decreased, and heavy artillery is needed to deal with the undead monsters."

No one mentioned the mortar, because it was a new weapon specially provided to the Lizardmen in the Unified Mystery Forest. The shells had been used up and no new ones were produced for the time being.

"Then send several soldiers holding shields and carrying bows and arrows across the river to deliver the explosives. As long as you blow up the two towers and lower the suspension bridge, you can rush in."

"Don't forget, although there are not many in number, the opponent also has musketeers and magicians."

Several captains immediately started arguing, but could not come up with a good offensive plan.

"How about we ask someone for help?" Kadir, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Hearing this, all the captains turned to look at Kadir, with doubts on their faces like "Who do you want to ask for help?"

"Tell me what you think."

Viscount Jarvis looked at Qadir and asked him to continue.

"When we first attacked, the soldiers in my team discovered that of the towers on both sides of the gate, only the windows in the front were built with bricks, but the windows in the back were not."

Kadir slowly stated his plan: "Therefore, I want to ask Miss Angelica and Miss Winnie to carry explosives, fly around the back of the tower in the air, throw them into the window, and blow it up."

As for why not ask the lord who has the magic of lava armor?

That's because after Owen defeated the Black Dragon King, he announced to the People's Army that the Lava Armor would not be usable for a long time due to some inconvenient reasons.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Viscount Jarvis made an immediate decision: "Then we will adopt Kadir's plan. However, it is not convenient for Miss Angelica to show up on a Pegasus, so we can only ask Miss Winnie."

This is currently the most feasible solution that can minimize casualties, and Viscount Jarvis has no reason not to adopt it.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still dark. Winnie looked for the light and flew to the camp where the People's Army was stationed. As soon as she landed, she asked: "I heard that you need my help? Haha! Even if you give me orders, I am very powerful.

!”

When she said this, she raised her chin proudly and reached out to pat her chest.

Viscount Jarvis called Winnie into the tent and explained to her in detail what she had to do, and kept telling her not to make mistakes in the use of explosives.

The genius had just dawned, and the People's Army had already lined up and prepared to launch the final attack.

Before the operation started, Viscount Jarvis still worriedly asked: "Miss Winnie, how to use this explosive..."

"Well--"

Winnie couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Lord Jarvis, why are you as verbose as the Lord? Do you doubt my ability so much?"

"Well……"

Viscount Jarvis thought for a while and decided to wave to Winnie.

"I believe in your ability, go ahead."

"That's pretty much it!"

Winnie smiled happily and immediately rose into the air carrying the explosives.

Looking up at her figure shrinking in the air until it was as big as a sesame seed, Viscount Jarvis turned around and faced the army waiting for orders.

"The action begins!"

The People's Army once again appeared in front of the Earl's Palace. The enemy responded quickly and prepared for battle in towers and various places.

Viscount Jarvis did not shout the slogan of attack, but let the army form a confrontation with the enemy at a relatively safe distance.

Not long after, Winnie, who had already circled behind, swooped down from high in the sky and quickly approached the two towers.

Because the enemy's attention was attracted by the People's Army in front, they did not notice the attack from behind.

By the time they reacted, Winnie had already thrown two bundles of ignited new explosives into the tower through the window at the back, and then hurried away.

boom!!!

Accompanied by a huge explosion and a slight earthquake, the two towers collapsed instantly, all enemies inside were instantly wiped out, and huge fire and smoke rose into the sky.

The two iron chains holding the suspension bridge were also blown apart, and the heavy wooden suspension bridge fell down.

For a moment, the enemy camp fell into panic and fear. After all, no one had ever seen this scene before.

On the other hand, everyone on the People's Army side was very calm. They were used to it a long time ago when explosives exploded.

Seeing this, Viscount Jarvis raised the corners of his mouth and thought: Well done!

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand and waved it forward, shouting loudly: "The whole army attacks! Conquer the last territory for the lord."

"oh--"

"For the Lord!"

The People's Army shouted and rushed towards the Earl's Palace.

After losing their original advantage, the enemy was no match for the People's Army and was defeated in one blow. Many people who lost their will to fight dropped their weapons and turned around to run away.

As one of the masterminds of the rebellion, Earl Pearl knew that Owen would not let him go easily and would definitely execute him like Duke Eddie.

Therefore, Earl Pearl did not surrender, but led a few loyal men to resist, and finally died tragically under the bullets of the People's Army.

However, his family members did not have the courage to die and chose to surrender.
