Chapter 44 Siege (14)(2/2)

Although the "rebels" raft that had lost control deviated from its original trajectory, it floated to Maggit Island and hung on the pointed wooden stakes in the water.

Montekukoli sent a lieutenant to deal with it.

A moment later, the lieutenant returned to the report, "The rafts were all fished up."

"Where did you get to this time?" asked Montekukoli.

"The Bishop's Fort is a little downstream."

"I know," Montecucoli nodded quietly, "Leave the rotating sentry and let everyone else rest."

Although the artillery lieutenant colonel thought that the idea of ​​the "rebels" trying to cross the river with a small raft was very stupid, he had to admit that the "rebels" had improved day by day.

When the "rebels" tried to send supplies to the island with small rafts for the first time, they did not count the distance in a biased manner. Their rafts made of large wooden barrels filled with flour and waterproof asphalt missed Maggit Island and were washed downstream, almost destroying the pontoon bridge connecting the new city and the old city.

When the "Rebels" tried the second time, although the raft floated ashore, it was still 108,000 miles away from the Bishop's Fort because it floated directly to the east coast.

And tonight, the "rebels" were able to accurately deliver the raft to the Bishop's Fort.

Unfortunately, as long as the defenders are on high alert every night, even if the "rebels" can deliver the supply raft to their location, they will not be able to move the raft ashore, let alone the "rebels" in the Bishop's Fort.

Compared to the "rebels" who crossed the river on a small raft, Montecukoli was actually more worried that the "rebels" in the Bishop's Fort rushed out.

So after digging the trench around Magite Island, Montekukoli immediately began to dig the trench around Bishop's Fort.

The rebels dug trenches outside the new city, and Montekukoli dug trenches outside the Bishop's Fort, which complemented each other.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Montekukoli really couldn't be interested in the little fish and shrimps in the Bishop's Fort.

In contrast to Jansen Conelis's view, Montecucoli always believed that the rebels would abandon the remnants of the Bishop's Fort and even give up attacking Magite Island - for this, the Artillery Lieutenant Colonel believed that he was responsible and instead launched a frontal offensive on New City.

Therefore, although Raymond Montekukoli returned to Maggit Island to take charge after attending the combat meeting at the Kings Castle, all his thoughts were placed in the Kings Castle.

So although he ordered the soldiers to disband, he himself did not plan to rest and wanted to wait for news about the new city.

The northwest wind is blowing tonight, and the wind is in the right direction. Montekukoli hopes to hear good news from the new city.

On the other hand, the musketeers in the trench were extremely happy to receive the order to disband.

The "rebels" once a night, occasionally harassing several times a night. Although they were defeated every time, they still made the island guards very tired. Even if they took turns to stay at night, their fatigue was still gradually accumulating.

Moreover, the island guards are on duty at night and have to work during the day, which makes the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted.

So when they learned that they could rest, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and lined up to return to the camp in the monastery as soon as possible, hoping to rest as soon as possible.

Those unlucky guys who got the night draw could only yawn and stayed alone in the trench.
