Chapter 384 Beating the Rebels

The rebel camp is located in a large tent in the center.

The nobles from the North and West borders sat around the table and were discussing the pseudo-king army.

"It's been two days."

A Western nobleman said impatiently: "Since the last time he received the news that the large iron ship arrived in Fengsui City, two days have passed. The army of the pseudo king has not been heading towards us for a long time. Could it be that the seduction plan has failed?"

At first glance, this nobleman had no experience in fighting, and was impatient and wished he would fight the army of the pseudo king immediately.

"Don't worry."

Although Duke Leman scoffed at the noble's words, he comforted him: "According to the reports of the retreating knights, only one large iron ship arrived at the suburbs of Fengsui City at that time, and the pseudo-king should be waiting for the soldiers behind to come."

"But you can't wait forever."

There was also a nobleman in the northern border and worried, "If the pseudo-king does not lead the army to attack, will our preparations be in vain?"

"The pseudo-king will definitely attack. We have sent people to provoke him. He cannot remain indifferent."

Duke Leman said confidently: "Unless he has seen through the trap we set and is ready to play a game of patience with us. If this is true, we cannot be anxious. Once we are obsessed with his way, we will definitely lose."

"This is what I'm worried about."

Duke Edward opposite said, "If the pseudo-king intends to assemble more troops than ours and launch an attack, it will be very unfavorable for us, and it may turn into a fierce battle."

“This situation is indeed worth noting.”

After reaching out and touching his chin, Duke Leman fell into deep thoughts, and came over for a while before continuing, "It's better, tomorrow we will send a unit to Fengsui City to harass you, and go over to harass you every other day, forcing the pseudo-king to take the initiative to go out."

"That's all."

Duke Edward nodded, agreeing.

Next, the nobles discussed other matters, such as strengthening patrols around the military camp, increasing the number and number of scouts sent to monitor Fengsui City, etc.

On the periphery of the military camp, there were two soldiers standing guard.

One of them was lazy holding a spear, and a feeling of fatigue came quietly. He reached out and yawned a big yawn.

"Ah--so sleepy."

"Man."

Another soldier kindly reminded: "If you are a fool, you will be scolded if you are seen by the Knight."

"What are you afraid of?"

The lazy soldier disagreed and said, "The Knights have participated in shooting training so they won't come here to inspect our watchtower."

“Shooting training.”

When it comes to shooting, the soldiers' eyes are full of envy.

"Have you seen the shooting training of the Knight? Every time I shoot, a stream of white smoke will appear. I think it's so handsome that I'm surrounded by white smoke. I'd love to be assigned to the muskets, it would be great if we ordinary soldiers could also get the muskets."

"Hmph, you think beautifully!"

The lazy soldier smiled contemptuously and said, "There are still many knights who have not received muskets. How can it be our turn? What's more, there are crossbowmen above us. We spearmen are the lowest-level existences, and even the quality of our weapons cannot be guaranteed."

As he said that, he took the spear in his crooked hand, reached out and grabbed the spear head and pulled it out.

"Look, my spear is not solid at all. I guess if I swung it on the battlefield, the spear head would fly directly, and I could only be used as a wooden stick."

The soldier looked at the spear with a problematic quality in the other party's hand.

"Since there is a problem with the weapon, why don't you find a logistics replacement?"

"Share it!" The lazy soldier put the gun head back again, "I've found that smelly uncle a long time ago. He asked me to find something to get stuck in the gap and continue to use it, and I won't change it for me."

The soldier did not respond. He knew that the army he was in had a strict hierarchy, and the lowest-level soldiers were pure cannon fodder.

Anyway, going to the battlefield is a death sentence, so there is no need to give too good weapons and just deal with them.

"Hey? It seems that it's that bird again." The lazy soldier looked up at the sky and said.

Hearing this, the soldier looked up and found that there was indeed a black bird shadow in the sky, flying towards the crossing mountains to the north.

"How do you know it's the same bird?" the soldier asked.

"In the past few days, I've been bored and staring at the sky in a daze." The lazy soldier replied, "The bird appears very frequently. I remember how it looks when it flies, so I shouldn't be wrong."

"Yeah?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier seemed to vaguely catch a black afterimage swept across the sky at high speed, as if he was flying towards it.

boom!!!

Before I could figure out what was going on, a loud explosion came from the barracks, and several tents in the distance collapsed, causing a burst of dust. Then the fire quickly burned and spread outward, and thick smoke rolled.

Immediately afterwards, explosions also came from other parts of the military camp, and there was a tragic situation around the explosion site, and wailing sounds were everywhere.

The two soldiers turned their heads and looked at each other. It was obvious that it was an enemy attack!

Hearing the loud noise, Duke Leman rushed out of the tent, noticed the fire and black smoke in the distance, and the soldiers running around, turned to ask the knights guarding the door.

"What's going on?"

"Return to the Duke, it should be an enemy attack." The Knight reported.

"Enemy attack?" The nobleman who came out behind Duke Leman looked surprised, "The army of the pseudo-kings launched an attack?"

"What are you doing!"

In response to this, Duke Leman yelled angrily: "I have arranged so many patrol soldiers and knights outside the military camp, why can't I discover the pseudo-king's army in advance?"

At this moment, the knight in charge of the patrol mission hurried back on his horse and shouted: "Report! There is an enemy attack!"

"It's too slow! What are you doing?"

Duke Leman was almost angry to death and wanted to punish the knight in front of him, but now it is not the time to punish him.

"Where did the enemy attack?"

The knight quickly turned over and dismounted and ran to the Duke of Lehman, reporting: "Report to Lord Duke, we have not found any trace of the enemy."

"What a joke?!"

Duke Leman's eyes widened, and he walked up to him and stared at the Knight fiercely, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"The enemy's shells fell into the barracks. You actually told me that you didn't see the enemy? Do you think I'm stupid?"

The Knight was so angry that he lowered his head, but he still insisted: "We really didn't see any enemy outside."

"Duke Duke!"

At this time, more than ten cavalry captains rushed over, and they were all covered in dust, and some of them even had their fortunes on them.

"A shell just fell to the training ground, causing many knights who are training to receive severe damage."

Boom! Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, several more shells fell into the barracks, and a series of explosions and screams came from afar. Many soldiers and mercenaries were so scared that they threw away their armor and fled everywhere, and there were chaotic scenes everywhere.

The people present did not know how to avoid the attack of shells, so they subconsciously raised their hands, leaned over halfway, and looked around in a panic look, fearing that shells would fall around them.

After confirming that the round of shelling had passed, Duke Edward looked at Duke Lehman with help.

"Now, what should I do now?"

Other nobles also looked at Duke Lehmann and placed all their hopes on him.

"what to do?"

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Duke Leman turned his head and issued orders to the knight in front of him.
