Chapter 559 Collapse

Lieutenant Burgan, who was riding a horse, looked at the approaching team from a distance.

The steps are neat and the formation is fierce. There is no doubt that they are the regular army of Arda.

Where did they come from? It's impossible for the garrison in Huxin Town to come back so soon. Could it be that one of them stayed nearby?

Burgan’s brain ached a little when he thought about it.

At the beginning, Burgan was quite confident in the power he now had. After all, these were nearly two thousand militiamen who had received basic military training.

But as the army approached, his confidence began to waver.

Everyone on the other side was holding a firearm, and behind the team... there were at least ten artillery pieces dragged along.

In this case, the form becomes a bit grim.

When the garrison in Huxin Town set out, they took away all the artillery in active service.

The ones left in the armory were all scrapped, and several of them were even "old antiques" from the time when the pirates were conquering the pirates. The reason why they were kept and not melted down was because Paul Grayman wanted to sell them at the right time. to others.

When Count Grayman first conceived the idea of ​​a deadly weapon like the cannon, the cannon-casting technology at that time was still in the exploratory stage. Whether it was its inventor, Count Grayman, or the craftsmen who realized it with their own hands, It's all "I think this can be done, and everyone should do this".

From a current point of view, the quality of the artillery produced at that time... was worrying, although they did play a significant role in the early military operations of the Arda army.

Another problem is that after being withdrawn from active service, these artillery pieces were kept in the armory and lacked maintenance.

God knows if they will explode if they are pulled out again and ignited.

The explosion of an artillery chamber can have a serious impact on morale, especially for a group of poorly trained militiamen. The explosion of an artillery chamber may affect their trust in the muskets they have just received.

In addition, artillery firing cannot be taught in one or two days, especially since Burgan's training office is only responsible for regular training, and artillery training has its own system.

For various reasons, Bulgan did not let the militiamen have access to artillery.

The approaching army stopped. Next to the team, among the group of officers on horseback, Burgan recognized the figure - Chief of Staff Schroeder.

Not only did Burgan recognize him, there were also people from the militia who had seen Schroeder. The appearance of the old knight caused slight confusion in the team.

What's going on? Why is the dignified chief of staff of the army standing opposite us?

Many people were muttering in their hearts.

At this time Burgan suddenly shouted: "Everyone! Raise your guns!"

There was a crash, and those who did not know Schroeder raised their loaded ammunition in accordance with the order. muskets, and those who recognized Schroeder also raised their guns in conjunction with the movements of those around them.

An officer next to Schroeder marched slowly to a place about 200 meters away from the militia team, and then stopped. Burgan couldn't help but cursed secretly. The man held a trumpet made of iron sheets and raised it to his mouth and shouted.

“Brothers of the militia! You have all been deceived by Burgan and his gang. In fact, he is the biggest rebel lurking in the town in the middle of the lake. Burgan took advantage of the lord to go out hunting and used his He faked his identity and passed orders in an attempt to use the militia to control the center, and his accomplices also launched an attack on the lord in Babor. However, his accomplices in Babor had been eliminated by the lord's heroic guards, leaving only Bull. Gan and several of his cronies were dying in Huxin Town, and he actually tried to drag you to be buried together. This is extremely evil! For such a shameless traitor, you must see his true face and deal with it as soon as possible. "

What's going on? Burgan was extremely shocked. How did the other party know about Babol Village? He immediately made the worst judgment in his mind: If his side in Babol Village succeeded, Schroeder would not know the situation so quickly because the signal tower there had already been controlled. But if it were another situation, and Paul Grayman had won there and regained control of the signal tower, it would have been possible to immediately send the information to a place loyal to him.

Nana, that, that, that - what the man just said, that the lord destroyed the attackers, is true or false?

The lord spread the news, is it true?

Burgan's mind was in turmoil.

In fact, Burgan guessed right. After Paul recaptured the signal tower closest to him, he immediately tried to contact the garrisons in various places. Fortunately, he contacted the 51st District.

No matter what, now we must survive!

Burgan immediately confronted him and shouted with all his strength: "Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of the rebels in front. I know that when you see Schroeder opposite, you have questions in your mind. , why is the Chief of Staff on the opposite side? But I regret to tell you that, as some of you smart people have guessed, Schroeder is no longer the respected Chief of Staff, he has been tempted by the rebels, Stand on their side."

"Look, he brought an entire army. As we all know, the four infantry battalions in Huxin Town have gone out for field training, and the nearby militiamen have also gathered. We’ve arrived at Lake Town—that’s you! So what are we seeing if they’re not rebels?”

"Now, I order you, in the name of the current highest military leader in Huxin Town, to order you to resolutely, thoroughly and ruthlessly eliminate the enemy!"

The militiamen don't know who is right. , habitually obeyed the orders of superiors and raised their guns.

At this moment, there was a rumble behind them, which was the direction of Lake Town!

Burgan was shocked again, and a very bad premonition immediately enveloped his heart.

Did something happen in Huxin Town? Otherwise, there is nothing to do.

And where are the artillery in Huxin Town? Apart from the old cannons still lying ashes in the armory, he immediately thought of one place - the cannons placed on the gate tower of the Lord's Palace Castle!

I can only use one sentence to describe Burgan's mood at this time - like falling into an ice cave.

"The whole army obeys the order!" I don't know which nerve was stimulated, he lost his mind, "Forward!"

The militiamen looked at each other, but they still obeyed Burgan's order , changed the gun that was originally raised and aimed at the slanted end, and walked towards the opposite army.

Go to the easiest place to aim and shoot! Then rush forward and fight with the bayonet!

This is the only thought in Burgan's head at this time!

......

The officer who was sent out by Schroeder to shout just now shook his head helplessly, turned around and returned to the chief of staff.

“No, Lord Schroeder, without direct evidence, the militiamen cannot be freed from Burgan’s lies. Do we really want to open fire on them?”

Schroeder shook his head. , he looked at the officer and said:

"I remember there was a new type of firearm that was very accurate."
