To Four Thousand Years Later

In addition to everything going well on Leo's side, the plan for the southern battlefield has also been arranged by Charles.

As the head of the legion, Roland personally led the infantry of the two legions and the Burgundy region.

At the time of Sisi, this is also Princess Goboga's natal family, Sasombo respectfully saluted Roland.

His old mother was in Gothic territory. Without the ability to awaken a witch, he couldn't see his daughter's dream at all. Therefore, I don't know why Cobojia fell into this situation.

But if he knew the truth, he would never do any disrespect to Roland. Not to mention betraying King Solomon—before the Goths hit Burgundy.

He is such a person who is indifferent to his family and is so objective and rational about the world that he is almost cowardly.

However. Now that he saluted Roland as a noble earl, it was not because of his humility and prudence. In order to clear the way for Roland and prevent those nobles with ulterior motives from holding back. Before Roland set off, Charles granted Roland the title of earl, and gave him the Brittany region as his territory. Roland felt very sad for a while.

Because the reward was too generous, he once thought it was Charles posthumously posthumous for him in advance until Charles dispelled his delusion in a dumbfounding manner.

"That's not the case... Of course, you can if you think so," Charles said. "If you really die in battle, this is my title to you; and if you come back victorious, then "then if I What failed? " Roland asked.

"There is no failure. Charles said calmly. His expression did not waver in the slightest.

Those flaming eyes gave Roland a lot of confidence—and the real evidence that convinced him that he was not going to kill someone this trip came from the secret weapon that Charles showed him.

That is, two weapons named "Howitzer" and "Rocket Car". The former is a kind of stone-like thing wrapped in leather. When it is launched by a trebuchet, it will explode at the destination. Countless metal fragments and sharp gravel explode in all directions, and its power is within seven or eight meters. It did not enter the tree trunk for more than three inches, and it could effectively kill within a range of fifteen steps. The latter is a device like a chariot.

It is twice as wide as an ordinary chariot, and more than twice as long. To put it simply, four wheels have become eight wheels. It looks like four chariots put together—after the rocket cart is transported into place by horses, it's ready for action. At the end of the chariot, there are three wooden boxes arranged horizontally. Each wooden box is filled with a hundred rockets in ten and ten vertical directions. As long as a soldier ignites the chariot, all the rockets in the small tube can be launched instantly.

Under the condition of tailwind, its power can penetrate the thin wood after eighty steps, and then the fire will burn blazingly from the wood.

Roland knew that, except for the Persians, no one could treat burns on the battlefield. What's more, the fire of this rocket seems to be more poisonous than ordinary fire, as long as it touches the wound, it will quickly rot, and eventually become disabled or die. Although its power is not as good as howitzers. Impossible to tear apart iron shields and armor...but enough to deter almost unarmored infantry, more easily resist and break up cavalry charges.

Because its biggest advantage is that it is cheap and the quantity is large. A wooden box full of rockets can be made in less than three hours by one woman, provided the materials are supplied. And its power is as powerful as the concentrated shooting of 130 strong shooters, or even stronger.

But no matter how good a shooter is, it is impossible to shoot three rounds at full strength without feeling tired. But there are three wooden boxes in front of each vehicle, and only one chariot driver and one ignition soldier are needed to easily fire the wheels in succession.

After that, as long as you retreat to the back moving line, and then move up three wooden boxes, you can even do another round. Only two people made this mysterious "fire box".

Roland couldn't help being terrified by Charles's terrifying wisdom like magic electricity. Because the two inventions invented by his King Solomon... are simply murderous weapons that violate common sense. Roland could foresee that these two inventions of Charles would directly change the pattern of future wars just like the first time a crossbow was used in battle.

One is that only one "stone" is needed. An improved version of the catapult that can directly kill seven or eight people and injure more than a dozen people; the other is a popular weapon that allows a very small number of people to exert combat power beyond the number of people. Roland was even terrified by this. If such weapons can be produced at will... Wouldn't these elite and powerful cavalry be worthless?

Good thing he's Frank. Fortunately, Charles is Frank's king. Roland just thought about it. When he was charging, hundreds of rockets in front of him flew towards him at a speed of one round per second; and from time to time, explosive fireballs fell from the sky. , I couldn't help but feel terrified at the scene of explosions behind me one after another. Now Charles is sending six large catapults capable of launching "howitzers", ten smaller and shorter catapults with a shorter range but also capable of launching "howitzers", and two white rocket vehicles. It's just that Charles has prepared for less than half a month's level.

If King Solomon he respected could come up with 500 such catapults and a legion of rocket vehicles, Roland even doubted that he would be able to conquer the entire world.

It was precisely because Roland knew enough about the battlefield that he knew that such fear was absolutely impossible to resist. As long as I lure out the main force of the opponent, my deputy Leonardo will double-team from the side, using these two terrifying weapons to directly destroy the opponent's army, will and resistance. King Solomon was right...they really couldn't lose. The only variable is whether Roland will unfortunately die in the battle plan to lure the enemy deeper. Roland heard that the Gothic King recruited many brave men to serve him. The most powerful among them is a legend who holds double knives and carries a white bow. He once fought a dragon... But now he is the head of the Gothic court, so he may not come to the front line. And as long as you don't face him directly. Roland is 80% sure of winning. After all, for the plan, he only needs to be able to get the other party to take the bait. Even if it is Roland's victory.

Please, surrender as soon as possible... The war is imminent, but Roland can't help but pray silently for the Gothic soldiers he is about to see.

If only we had surrendered sooner, fewer people would have been slaughtered by that horrible creation from hell
