Goel tried his best to explain to Spindu, but Spindu always believed that Goel and Reggie had an ulterior relationship. His voice became louder and his tone became more and more tyrannical, even in front of Goel.
Swear words were uttered.
It wasn't until Goel's guard pulled out his long sword that Spindu slowly calmed down. He was a little too excited just now, and he forgot whose territory he was in.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think I have explained it clearly enough. I have never had any contact with Xuexicheng. I have never seen Reggie Victor until now. I don't even know his father, Old Viscount Victor."
I don’t know him!”
The guards still didn't put the arrow back into the scabbard, which made Spindu panic.
"Duke Uzi, there are some things I just want to verify. Please forgive me for any offense." Spindu smiled for the first time, squeezing out layers of wrinkles from his nose to his cheeks, which looked like a flower.
Blooming chrysanthemums.
"Please go back and tell His Majesty," Goel asked the guard to put down his sword, "that the Uzi family is ready for battle!"
Spindu was stunned, then asked: "Who do you want to fight?"
"Of course it's Reggie Victor. He kidnapped my son and those wolf bastards. I won't let them go either!"
"Calm down, calm down," Spindu stood up and said, "No one can act without His Majesty's order. I'll take my leave now."
Spindu left the Drawing City as quickly as possible, and Goel immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Charlemagne had begun to doubt him, which meant that there was a sharp sword on his neck, and he would be ready at any time.
Cut off his head.
After sitting in silence in the secret room for a whole day, after nightfall, he made a decision.
He found the groom and gave him a secret mission.
"Take my letter and go to Shattering Snow City, and be sure not to be discovered by anyone."
This groom had been fighting with Goel all his life. He should have been given a higher identity and status, but he was willing to be a groom just because he didn't like to interact with people.
Goel trusted him so much that he didn't even want to hide the content of the letter: "If you encounter danger, destroy the letter. I want to join forces with Suixue City, I want to join forces with Prince Chris, and I want to kill all the running wolves."
Bastard, I want to kill the false king Charlemagne, I wish I could bring the message with me!"
Just as the groom was about to set off, he saw the lord's wife blocking the door.
"Give me the letter!" The lord's wife glared at the groom, who turned to look at Goel. He only obeyed the lord's order.
"Dear, please listen to my explanation..." As soon as the lord opened his mouth, he was interrupted by his wife: "I don't want to hear your explanation. Haven't we suffered enough? Didn't Wesley lose a lot? You now
Want to start a rebellion again? Do you want your whole family to be buried with you?"
Gore said nothing. When people reach middle age, they naturally have many things to take care of.
The lady stepped forward and hugged Goel tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "You are my sky, you are my sun, you are everything in my life. I will love you, be loyal to you, and obey you no matter when."
, but let him let this matter go. It is over. Let us live our lives in peace.
Go ahead, you betrayed Chris, do you think he will really forgive you? All royal blood is ruthless! And Reggie Victor, he is more terrifying than the devil, haven't you heard of him?
Reputation? Do you really want to join them? Are you crazy? Stop being stupid, I beg you!"
Gore was silent, the groom sighed, took out the letter from his arms, and was about to return it to Gore, when he saw Wesley standing at the door of the secret room.
"Father, the maid told me that a fleet has arrived at our port."
"Where did the fleet come from?"
"They claim to be friends from the north," Wesley said with a smile. "I think it should be Lord Victor, because those ships carry food."
…
Old Hill arrived at the port of Drawshaper City with the fleet from Broken Snow City, carrying a million pounds of grain.
Goel didn't know how to express his gratitude. The groom took out the letter from his arms again and said with a smile: "Sir, I don't think I need to go to Broken Snow City. The letter delivered by you personally is more sincere."
Goel gave the letter to Old Sher and all the gold coins in the city to Old Sher.
Old Hill accepted the letter, but did not accept his gold coins. Before the fleet of the Golden Eagle Kingdom noticed, he had to leave the dock of Drawsha City as quickly as possible.
…
The battle in Hanmaple Fortress was extremely fierce, and there were dead bodies everywhere under the thirty-mile city wall. Sophia's fighting method was rough and effective. She recruited a large number of refugees from the surrounding area, and selected strong men from them to form
He formed a death squad of nearly 10,000 people and carried out crazy attacks on Hanfeng Fortress every day.
Sophia discovered a way to deal with Reggie. There was a vast plain to the north of Han Maple Fortress. As long as the soldiers were dispersed enough, the bomb's effect would be very limited.
The most terrifying thing is actually the tubular weapons. The things ejected from those tubular weapons can hurt people like arrows. Although they are much more powerful than crossbows and can even penetrate the armor of Cambrian knights, these things
The quantity is limited, and they cannot be reused like bows and arrows.
The number of bullets is indeed small. The bullets in Shattering Snow City are completely produced by hand. Noros selected fifty excellent blacksmiths to cast the bullets. Each group of five people was responsible for casting the bullets, one person was responsible for casting the bullets, two people were responsible for casting the shells, and one person was responsible for casting the bullets.
One person is responsible for loading, and another person is responsible for assembling.
Five workers can produce at most 100 rounds of ammunition a day, and 50 workers can produce at most 1,000 rounds a day. Among these 1,000 rounds of ammunition, there are almost 300 unqualified defective products. The First Army and the
The two armies combined totaled more than 600 people. Each man had one bullet, and the production was exhausted in one day.
At first, because there was sufficient inventory, the soldiers did not cherish ammunition, but now, each soldier can get at most five bullets a day, and they can no longer shoot as unscrupulously as before.
The suicide squad rushed up again. Sophia used this method to consume Reggie's ammunition, and Reggie was really pushed into a desperate situation by her. Jiawen first asked the soldiers to attack with bombs, and then used grenades, waiting until the enemy approached the city.
Precious bullets were used only when the door was open. Every gunshot made Reggie feel heartbroken. Before bullets were mechanized, muskets were still somewhat weak in large-scale wars.
I feel sorry for not only Reggie, but also Salah.
He sat on the horse without saying a word. It was midsummer, and the scorching sun at noon could not suppress the coldness on his body.
"Stop putting on such a bad face," Nehruv whispered, "Her Majesty the Queen has looked at you several times. Do you want to be punished?"
"Look at them, they are all good men from the country of Bayer." Looking at the death squads who sacrificed their lives, Salah felt like someone was using a knife to cut out his heart.
Nehruv lowered his head and sighed: "Why should you sympathize with them? They are willing to sacrifice their lives for a few bread and silver coins, because their lives are inherently cheap."
Salah gritted his teeth and said: "Old man, touch your conscience when you speak. Their lives are not cheap. They exchange their lives for bread for their women and children!"
"Keep your voice down," Nehruv said. "Are you crazy? If the queen hears it, you know what the consequences will be."
"It's time for her to listen. These are the good sons of Bair!" Salah roared. "Let them farm in the fields, let them hunt in the mountains and forests, let them hug their women and give birth."
Child, this is what the Bayer people should do! How many people are going to die for your damn fortress!"
"You are not the only one who feels sad!" Nehruv gritted his teeth, "I regret it too, I regret it every day. My new territory is much better than here, and I don't want to fight for this damn fortress, but this
It’s no use! We must obey the Queen’s orders!”
Sophia heard the quarrel between the two dukes, but she remained silent. She also knew the value of population, but war is like a gamble. The more you lose, the more you want to make up for it. After paying such a heavy price, Sophie
Ya had to get something. Even if she couldn't take back the Han Maple Fortress, she would at least see Reggie bowing his head in front of her, just like she knelt down to Reji in front of everyone at the Han Maple Fortress.
At dusk, the fighting stopped. Reggie counted the remaining ammunition. There were thirty-one rockets, more than six hundred bombs, more than four thousand grenades, and forty-three bullets left.
Reggie rubbed his eyes and saw that he was right. There were indeed only forty-three bullets left. Why on earth was this? Why did the bullets run out first even though they were already very economical!
Kalaf quickly gave the answer: "Sir, a worker who is still an apprentice can make thirty iron barrels a day. As for the small barrels used to make grenades, it is not a problem to make a hundred of them a day. In Nolos's
There are hundreds of such workers in the factory. As long as there is enough gunpowder, these iron barrels can be turned into bombs and grenades at any time. However, there are only fifty workers who can make bullets, and many of them are also responsible for making rockets.
"
Reggie understood what Calaf meant and found the crux of the problem.
The more complex the weapon, the lower the production efficiency. Rockets and bullets are relatively complex weapons. The rough production process determines extremely low production efficiency and has also become a bottleneck for advanced weapons to be put into the battlefield.
Shattering Snow City has been able to use advanced nitrated starch on a large scale, but the weapon they use to launch bombs is still the most primitive trebuchet. This also confirms another embarrassing practical problem, a chemical engineer's lack of mechanical knowledge.
"I want to have a machine tool, I must have a machine tool!" Reggie pounded the table hard, "When this war is over, no matter what the price is, I must at least have a machine tool."
Reggie had just made his great wish, but Iron Skull sent bad news: "Sir, the enemy is about to attack again, and they have sent...a few frogs."
Reggie yelled: "What's so scary about frogs?"
Tie Shou said with an embarrassed look: "These frogs are huge!"
"How big can it be?"
"About the same size as those giant elephants, and they can jump!"
