Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 261, Victory

"How is this possible?" Major Ledecink jumped from the chair. He had a good news from Claude who had just passed the homing pigeon. It was written with more than 4,000 enemies. The Principality of the Principality and the Eskilin Territory only fled the remnants of hundreds of people. They also seized the six territories of the aristocrats, more than two hundred prisoners, and seized countless... themselves sacrificed eight soldiers and injured nineteen. people……

No matter who sees such a good news, it is impossible to believe, especially Major Lederfontein. He knows very well that Crowder only has three squadrons and three guns that are dissatisfied with the compilation. The total number is less than one hundred and seven. Ten. Although the private soldiers of the territories of the Territory are not strong enough to fight, the ants are more likely to bite the dead. A regiment plus a battalion has nearly 5,000 troops, and the garrison power of the less than 170 people in Claude, Major Lederfonte It can only be prayed that Claude will stay in the Squirrel Village for a longer period of time. It is already a very good result to replenish the logistics of the two aristocracy of the Principality of the Principality and consume them to force them to retreat.

Only a few days later, Major Lederfonteor licked his fingers and counted it for ten days. Claude sent a report saying that he had wiped out more than 4,000 enemies and arrested more than two hundred. Unbelievable. Could it be that the aristocratic gates of the two principalities of the Principality were rushing to attack with 5,000 heads of cattle and sheep? Even if there are more than 5,000 cattle and sheep, it is not so easy to kill more than four hundred people a day with Claude.

After fixing the gods, Major Lederfonteer took the report and carefully read it again. Fortunately, the pigeon communication requires that the content of the report must be concise and clear, but Crowder still briefly mentions how he did it at the end of the letter. Enticed the enemy to enter the squirrel village, and he placed a large number of fires in the squirrel village, and then came to a barbecue meeting...

Major Ledecek ordered the documents and staff of the battalion and the responsible officers of the gendarmerie squad to immediately lead a squadron to the squirrel village. Such a great victory must be confirmed and confirmed. I believe that when this battle report is sent to the above, it will be a big surprise. This kind of battle will greatly enhance the morale of the frontline kingdom army. As a direct supervisor of Claude, Major Lederfontein can naturally get a share of this military merit.

Claude is very uncomfortable now. In fact, it is not just him. All the soldiers are like him. His face is pale. Several soldiers have been unable to walk. Mark has even vowed to stop eating barbecue in this life. There was a strange smell of meat in the campsite and the squirrel village, which smelled very appetizing. But for Claude and his soldiers who know what the source of this meat is, they only feel sick and want to vomit...

The squirrel village, which has been burnt into a ash, is no one wanting to step into it. The fire in the middle of last night was so violent that Claude had expected it. In particular, it happened to encounter a strong wind, the wind helped the fire, and the aristocrats in the territory instructed the applicants to cut down a large number of trees to make wooden carts, and use wooden carts to block the village entrance. This is almost a fire increase. It also blocked the escape route of the private soldiers and the applicants who were stationed in the village.

No enemy would think that Claude would use a fire attack, because in the eyes of the aristocrats in the territory, this is simply impossible. The enemies who guarded the squirrel village had already shrunk into their camps and built the camps like a small fortress, which actually blocked their own path.

The camp is nearly 100 meters away from the squirrel village. The middle is a flat open space. The enemy wants to burn and burn the wooden platoon cars. It is easy to be discovered by the aristocrats who are guarded by the village. Even if the firearms in the hands of the nobles are old-fashioned, they are not burning. Sticks, the enemies who come under the guns will only come back. For enemies with insufficient defensive strength, it is impossible for them to do such a loss.

Claude set up a fire strategy in the squirrel village, originally intended only to deal with the path of the aristocrats of the Eskilin territory. Unexpectedly, the aristocrats of the territory of the Cannes of the Canas were not allowed to enter because of being blocked at the bend of the mountain road, and would even join forces with the nobles of the Eskilin territory. This forced Claude to set up a defensive position on the hillside behind the squirrel village to reduce the enemy's strength. Because the two nobles of the Principality of the Principality were united together and so many troops were in the Squirrel Village, Claude could not guarantee that the hands and feet that he had done in the village would not be discovered.

Fortunately, the aristocrats in the territory decided to use the wooden row car as a means of attack. The three days of cutting down the trees to make the woodcars were too busy, and Claude simply delayed the fire for three days. The aristocratic coalition forces in the territories blocked the entrance to the village with wooden rafts and filled the open space in the village. In Claude's view, this was simply self-destruction.

Attacking enemies with red-hot iron shotguns, which are mostly used by naval battleships. No one on the land will do this. The reason is very simple. The battleship is made of wood. It uses a red iron shotgun to attack the enemy. If you are lucky, it will ignite the enemy ship. However, most of the enemy's defense facilities on land are earth-rock structures. Under such circumstances, it is more troublesome to attack the enemy with red-hot iron shotguns, and it also reduces the efficiency of shelling.

Claude used a red-hot iron shotgun to ignite the fire, and did not need to send soldiers out to take risks. The intermittent bombardment that lasted for nearly half a day has already caused the enemy to slack off. No one will pay attention to the attack on the wooden rowing car in the camp. Anyway, the aristocrats in the territory have already said that even if the 20-story wooden carts at the entrance to the village were destroyed, it would be a big deal to change the batch tomorrow morning to see if the enemy’s gunpowder is more or not.

So in the middle of the night, most of the aristocrats who had enough to eat and drink had to find a broken shack to sleep, and did not care about the shelling outside. Those who apply for the people are taking a rest after eating a meal. They have been busy for three days, and most of them are exhausted. It is not easy to cut down the trees and then transport them back to the squirrel village. It’s very deep, after all, I know that I have to attack the enemy’s camp in the morning. If you don’t say anything else, it’s sure that they are going to lead the people in the woodcars.

When the first red-hot artillery shell passed over the squirrel village, the aristocratic private soldiers who watched the police only looked up and looked at it. They didn't know if they would fall to the back of the village. They didn't know that the first shots that Claude fired were aimed at the ditch and the fence behind the village. They were concerned about whether the enemies in the camps that stood 100 meters away would come out.

When the trenches behind the village and the log fence on the broken wall began to burn, the aristocrats who were guarded in front of the village were unaware of it, but there was wondering why the shelling did not hit the wooden rower and made a familiar collision. sound. It’s just that when the village’s fire is getting deeper and sleepy, the enlightened people are screaming from their dreams: “It’s on fire...” When Crow’s voices are everywhere, Crowder’s artillery begins to target the tattered village. In the shack shooting, the red-hot iron shotgun shells were used to ignite the thatched roof covered by the shack, and the fire was connected together. The aristocratic private soldiers and the applicants who entered the squirrel village were shocked.

The winds in the mountains are very strong at night, and the thatched grass on the top of the fire shacks flutters in the wind, igniting more places that are not on fire. Squirrel Village can hardly find a stone-built house, which is a shack built of branches and broken wood. After the rainy season in March, it has been nearly two months since now. Only a small amount of light rain has been carried out ten days ago. These shacks are all dry and almost burned. Together with the felling of trees to make a large pile of wood chips left by the wooden row cars and the small wooden blocks left by the wheels, there are those wheat straws and stacked firewood that are scattered throughout the village, and Claude they have three days. The squirrels and gunpowder powder sprinkled on the front, making the squirrel village a big fire in a short time.

The aristocratic private soldiers and the applicants did not think about what to do with the fire. They also smacked the place where they were on fire or used water to extinguish a few burning woods, but they did not expect the wind to help the fire quickly become a piece. The entire squirrel village is burning. When they found that there was fire everywhere and they couldn’t help but wanted to find a way to live, it was too late, and even the 20 wooden carts arranged in the village mouth began to burn, trapping the people in the village... ...

If the aristocrats who were vigilant at the entrance to the village rushed out of the village in the first time of the fire, then their worst end would be to become a prisoner. But unfortunately, they only remember that the enemy camp was in front of the enemy. In the case of most of the village fires, they only knew that they had woken up the comrades in the front shack and ran to the back of the village, intending to leave the back door of the village.

However, the trenches and log fences outside the back door of the village are the first places to catch fire. This will cause the fire to be unable to rush out. Together with the large number of wooden carts arranged in the open space, the headless flies seem to be everywhere. Applicants are led by the people, and there are rotten shacks that are burning around. The village has become a sea of ​​fire and there is no way to escape.

When the large group of aristocratic private soldiers and the applicants wanted to escape from the village, the wooden carts that were arranged in the village entrance and the open space began to burn, and the only escape route was blocked. Most of the trees that were cut down to make wooden row cars have smoked heavily. This is a fatal blow to the aristocrats and the recruits who were trapped in the fire...

Claude did not expect that the fire would be so fierce and fast. They felt the heat and fire in the air hundreds of meters apart. Listening to the screams and mourning of the fire, everyone’s heart was uncomfortable, but they would Just wanting to save people can't do anything, and there is no way to get close to the burning squirrel village.

A few burning straws were blown by the wind onto the sheltered wooden shed above the fence of the fence. Claude quickly ordered the soldiers to take water on all the buildings. Don’t even have their own camp. Burn it up.

At the same time, Claude asked Markie to bring a squadron of soldiers to intercept the wooden rafts on the mountain road and lay them on the undetected traps of the mountain road. When the soldiers poured water on the camp, all the people except the wounded soldiers set off to attack the enemy's camp. They also brought two light infantry artillery pieces and rushed down the mountain road to the enemy camp.

The aristocratic private soldiers on the camp side also found out that the squirrel village had a big fire. Everyone could see the fire, and almost half of the sky was red. In addition to a few hangovers, the aristocrats who were not awake, the remaining aristocrats and their servants and bodyguards were surrounded by the gates of the camp, looking at the direction of the squirrel village.

In addition to rushing to find out what is going on, the aristocrats in the terrible territory are all swearing and discussing where the fire is. Although this is the location of the squirrel village, most of the territorial nobles They are also lucky enough to think that they should have accidentally caught fire or were attacked by an enemy and burned a wooden row car. In their view, even if all the woodcars are burned, what is the relationship? Anyway, there are many people, and it will take a few more days to go to the mountains to cut down the trees and move them back to make the wooden car.

Only the lucky aristocrats who went to investigate the nearly lucky ones who had escaped from the fire were returned. The aristocrats in the territory learned that the entire squirrel village had become a big fire, except for less than a hundred survivors. When they ran out, the remaining two thousand people were trapped in the village. The aristocrats who went to investigate reported that they could not get close, and the fire was very strong. They could hear the sounds of help and screams from the village...

This news is like a blue sky. It is directly on the heads of all the aristocrats. On the spot, several nobles of the territory vomited and stunned. The nobles who did not vomit blood were also uncomfortable. They lost their souls and fell to the ground. Everyone said nothing. Everyone I know that the plan they planned for the three southern counties in the south has gone bankrupt.

The aristocrats who had not waited for the gates of the camp to wake up awake, and Claude, who came from the side of the mountain road, gave the last of the two aristocrats. If it wasn't for the movement of the wooden rafts on the big trap, the aristocrats who guarded the camps were alert. Maybe Claude could kill all the territories and nobles.

Only those nobles who found the squirrel’s camp in the squirrel village, that is, Claude, when they were laying wooden rafts on the big trap, they were still doing their best, and they hurriedly dragged the desperate territorial nobles. They were brought into the camp and closed behind.

However, when Claude directly set up two light infantry artillery on the mountain road to attack the log fence of the camp, the aristocratic squadron of the defensive camp knew that the trend had gone. They concentrated all the mounts and hummers in the camp, and those who had already The aristocrats who were waking up to help the horses, and demolished the other side of the camp, the log fence directly fled...

When Claude rushed into the gate of the camp, they only caught dozens of servants and hundreds of wounded soldiers who had not ran away, and six territorial nobles who couldn’t catch up with the hangover and the tent. The person who can run has escaped a clean...
