The Rewardan troops who came to "quell the rebellion" were in a dilemma.

Ronald, Epel, and all Gévaudin officers subconsciously still regard Winters as a "bandit."

Since ancient times, only officials have suppressed bandits. Where can bandits dare to suppress officials?

"No matter what the battle situation is in Gévaudan, it's too late for us to send reinforcements now." Major Ronald held the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes: "Montagne's plan to move the tiger away from the mountain this time will definitely take more than a day or two...

…still underestimated him!”

The centurions were equally stunned.

"So what if we divert the tiger away from the mountain?" Captain Epel said as lightly as possible: "With the few people they have, is it possible that they can still capture Gevaudan? At most, they can only grab something."

"There is no need to excuse me. I lost this battle by one move." Ronald looked at Wolf Town and gritted his teeth: "But there is still a turning point. Epel?"

"yes!"

"Montagne is in Wolf Town, are you sure?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Cellini, Mason and Bard?"

"They're here too."

"Search! Search hard for me and find every footprint!" Ronald clenched his fists and said resolutely: "If we take them down, even if Gévaudan is razed to the ground, this battle will still be considered a win.

If we let them go, this battle will be a complete defeat!"

"Yes!" All the centurions responded in unison.

"The news about Gévaudin must be kept strictly confidential, and no trace of it is allowed to be leaked!"

"yes!"

The two brigades brought by Ronald were expanded from the city guard of Gévaudan, and the families of the key soldiers all grew up in Gévaudan.

How would they feel when they heard that Gévaudan was attacked?

Ronald was not going to guess because he chose not to let the soldiers know the news at all.

"Lieutenant Istvan!"

"exist."

"Take all the cavalry with you! Return to Jevaudan immediately! First, you must find out the situation in the city; second, intercept all messengers!"

"yes!"

Ronald's cavalry only had twelve mounted messengers.

"On the Gevaudin side." Ronald sighed: "They can only rely on themselves."

…

Wolf Town has been turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Gévaudin's soldiers set fires wantonly, and orders were given from above to burn everything in sight.

Wolf Town itself is not big, just a few wooden houses on the roadside and a military camp.

Whatever can be taken away has already been taken away.

But even these simple wooden houses were built by many people and a lot of sweat.

At this moment, they are burning.

Two Gévaudin soldiers, one tall and one short, carried torches and set fire to the road.

"There is another house by the river!" said the tall soldier.

The short soldier replied: "Go and have a look."

There is a simple wooden shed by the river. It doesn't look like a human house. There are some strange things in the shed.

"What is this place?" asked the tall soldier.

"Here? It's for sawing wood." The short soldier looked at the sawdust at his feet: "It seems to be powered by water. However, the saw blade and connecting rod are not here."

"How do you know this?" the tall soldier asked.

"I am also a carpenter." The short soldier replied, "I used to be."

He walked to the wall and opened a wooden gate.

"Gudong, Gudong... Wow, Wow..."

There was a sound outside the shed, like rapids washing over boulders.

There was also a tooth-aching "crunch, crunch" coming from under the floor.

The wooden shaft beside the wall rotated rapidly, trying to push the connecting rod and saw blade that were no longer there.

A waterwheel on the riverside began to rotate slowly, supplying water to the reservoir.

Although no one was working, the sawmill came to life.

Just by looking at these simple but ingenious devices, you can understand how much effort the designers and builders put into them.

"What should I do?" The tall soldier swallowed.

The short soldier threw the torch into the sawdust with an expressionless expression: "Burn it."

The sawdust ignited at a touch, the flames spread rapidly, and the hydraulic sawmill was quickly engulfed in flames.

When the flame goes out, nothing will be left here.

At the intersection of two roads in the center of the town, a Gévaudan soldier crawled and ran towards other soldiers, shouting in horror: "No! The wrong one was burned! This is a church!"

The other soldiers heard this and looked at the flaming wooden building beside the road.

It is very simple, with a shed roof and four walls. You can still see some features of the church, such as the holy emblem.

"It's really a church!" Another soldier's knees were shaking.

But the fire is already burning.

"It's okay, it's not." A soldier patted the trembling soldier on the shoulder: "It won't be if it's burned."

The soldiers were setting fires, while Major Ronald was repeatedly confirming to Captain Epel: "Montagne, Cellini, Mason and the guy named Bud are all in Wolf Town? Are you sure?"

"To be sure, I specifically asked Winters to call the other three people to come out and meet me." This was the third time Epel answered this question.

"That's not right!" Major Ronald's eyebrows knitted into a knot: "Four officers stayed in Wolf Town as bait, so who led the troops to attack Gévaudan?"

…

Who led the surprise attack on Gévaudan?

Of course it's the mysterious masked man A, the mysterious masked man B, and Pierre Michel.

Among them, the mysterious masked man A [Don Juan] has just led his troops to blow open the gate of Jevaudan.

Gevaudan originally had no city walls, and the temporary civil engineering walls were very short, less than two and a half meters high.

The door is either a straight up or down gate, or an ordinary wooden door.

The siege soldiers put several small bell-like objects against the door shaft and door latch, held them tightly, and then lit gunpowder and twisted them.

There were several loud rumblings that shook the wooden walls.

After the smoke cleared, the door still stood in place.

Don Juan stepped forward and kicked it, causing the door, which had all its fixing points destroyed, to collapse.

Earth-shaking cheers erupted outside the city.

No one is more familiar with the weaknesses of Gevaudan's defenses than Mason and Bard, for they were the ones who built the fortifications.

"All those who commit adultery and plunder will be hanged! Don't give me any damn ideas! Follow your army's flag! The flag bearer knows where to go! Don't worry about escaping the enemy, just fight those who dare to resist!" Don Juan said to me

The soldiers shouted orders: "Attack!"

"Uukhai!Uukhai!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

Mason and Andre's centurions rushed into the city gates, climbed onto the city from the left and right wings, and pounced on the bewildered enemies.

The most powerful unit, Winters' "arrow", was left in Don Juan's hands.

There were also Bard's centurions, who were just waiting at the city gate and did not participate in the battle.

There are a large number of carriages waiting on the other side of the river, and they haven't crossed the bridge yet.

Winters Qiankun made a throw and used all the troops in his hand.

The Wolftown militia and three centuries obtained from Gévaudan came to attack Gévaudan.

Bud and Mason's troops didn't go to Wolf Town at all.

As soon as they were out of Gévaudan's sight, the two men led their troops back to the town of Saint-Kevin via a small road to meet up with the friendly troops waiting there.

Winters emphasized the identity of the [Protector of the Five Towns] intentionally to mislead Officer Gévaudan.

His real title is [Captain of the First Republic, Resident Officer of Langtun Town and Protector of Seven Towns].

The legion's exorbitant levies have caused complaints from all over the place. Shengke Town and Kingsbridge Town have already surrendered their loyalty to Winters - to be precise, they have reached a deal.

After joining forces, the troops have been hiding in the Oak Manor in Shenk Town.
