Chapter 139 Lighting the fuse
“Go, go!”
Earl Rees waved his hand, telling the beautiful girl wearing a gilt breastplate in front of him to leave the tent quickly, don’t Delay yourself drinking.
Not long after, five young men left the military camp of Lisland on horseback and headed north.
They are all high-spirited, their helmets and breastplates carefully made by skilled craftsmen and their cloaks embroidered with gold thread behind them reflect the golden light in the late spring sun, and their top-notch war horses worth hundreds of gold spread out under their crotches. The hooves run happily.
In the farmland on the roadside, the peasant women who were weeding just looked up, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, bent down and continued working.
Running at the front was a young female knight. She turned around from time to time and shouted to her companions in a clear and sweet voice, "Hurry up!"
Belber Ke is the granddaughter of the chief minister of the Heraldry Academy. She is seventeen years old and has many suitors in Cologne City.
This time King William asked each family to choose the future pillar of the country to accompany the prince to gilding. She went on a hunger strike for three days during the meal before getting her grandfather to agree to come.
She was a restless girl. After arriving at the military camp in Lissland, she heard a few words from someone and decided to go to Wesenland for reconnaissance the day before the war started.
They, the future pillars of the country, would go out for reconnaissance every day after arriving at the military camp in Ansbach. Anyway, this is what is recorded in the documents. As for whether they reconnoitred the taverns and restaurants in the city or lurked in the bathing flower building for three to five days, they were gone. People know.
So Earl Rees thought that she was just tired of staying in the smelly military camp, and found an excuse to go out for a run to relax, or that girls like to be clean and went to the city to take a bath or something, without even thinking about it. I agreed.
So, the heroic female knight set off with a team of several suitors, aiming to lead Wesen to the city of Heim.
At noon, they crossed the boundary between the territories and came to Wesen Territory. No one noticed that a conspicuous tree fell down on the top of the mountain.
There was a small river not far ahead, with a large swamp upstream. Belle Burke stopped in front of the bridge, pointed at the bridge with a riding crop and said: "Quick, measure how long the bridge is. How wide.”
Immediately behind her, some activists jumped off their horses and walked on the bridge, taking measurements in a decent manner.
When the activist finished weighing himself and walked to Belle Burke to show his courtesy, Belle Burke asked him: "Hey, did you hear the bell?"
Others listened carefully, and indeed there was a faint sound of rapid metal knocking from the distance.
“Let’s go!” Belle Burke ignored her partner who was reporting the bridge data, “Let’s go see what’s going on!”
After saying that, she galloped forward and ran forward. , leaving a person standing there stupidly.
There are villages on both sides of the road not far ahead. Outside the village, a thorn wall is planted to surround the fields. It is as tall as a person. Only the intersection leading to the main road has a gate.
Belle Burke stopped the horse at the thorn wall, stood on the horse and looked in.
"Be careful!" Someone immediately rode up to the side, "Be careful not to fall!"
Belle Burke ignored him, her delicate brows slightly wrinkled, wondering why those farmers were alone Run to the village vigorously.
Someone stood on horseback like her, thought for a moment, and came up with an idea: "Let's burn these thorns, and then let the village surrender. This is the first military achievement!" ”
"Okay!" Belle Burke immediately shouted excitedly.
She thought about her first military achievement, which made her the center of attention in the salon after she returned. Everyone around her was praising and flattering her. It was such a huge temptation that she didn’t think about why Earl of Lys was doing it. No troops were sent out today.
But she said a little depressed: "But we didn't bring a torch."
The proposer had a proud smile on his face. Among the five people, he was the only one who was a fire magician. , the proposal to set fire was naturally to show off in front of the goddess he has been pursuing.
Before Belle Burke could answer, another competitor immediately broke up: "This village is too small, let's find a bigger one."
Belle Burke thought the same thing. The village in front of her was much smaller than her own, so she decided to find a bigger village.
The man who made the first suggestion was very angry. Before leaving, he went to the thorn wall and threw a few ordinary fireballs to vent his anger. Soon, white smoke pillars shot straight into the sky.
The group of people worked hard to find a bigger village. Belle Burke was not satisfied, so she just burned the thorn wall to scare the villagers into trouble.
Not far away, Belle Burke found a donkey cart overturned on the road on the mountainside far ahead, with several people beside it.
Liher, dressed as a peasant woman but carrying a bow and arrow on her back, scolded Hozhenpoulz angrily: "You still say that you drive a car well, but look at you, is there anyone who can drive a car like this? "Huo Zhenplozi was very helpless. A businessman from Heim City ordered a cart of rosin from the village. He delivered it to his door today and took Liher and a few village girls to the city to buy things.
Unexpectedly, the nearby village sounded the alarm, and when they were about to ask Ami the donkey to run faster, they whipped the donkey, but the donkey became stubborn and took the car into a ditch.
"Okay, okay." He said, "Unload the goods first and pull the car up."
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and five A brightly armored knight stopped on the road.
“Liher,” Huo Zhenplozi said in a deep voice, “You take them up the mountain, and I will hold them back.”
There are not that rich knights in Wesenland. Needless to say, they must be enemies.
At this time, a village girl said anxiously: "You should run together too."
Liher said calmly to other village girls: "You guys come with me right away, he can Run away by yourself."
She then said to Huo Zhenplozi: "You can run away by yourself when we are far away."
The world is not peaceful these days, so they take them with them when they travel far away. I loaded my weapon just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used.
Hozhenpouloz took out his folding rifle and a short sword from under the seat of the donkey cart, loaded the bullets and bayonet.
Liher doesn’t like using guns very much, but prefers bows and arrows.
On the other side, Belle Burke shouted excitedly: "Hurry, capture the prisoners!"
Immediately someone rushed out at the lead, pulled out his saber halfway, waved it twice, and once A layer of flames clings to the blade, making it look heroic.
Huo Zhenplozi calmly calculated the speed and distance of the horse. When he saw the excitement on the knight's face, he suddenly raised his gun and fired.
The lead bullet entered from the right side of the war horse's chest, breaking the arm bone. The horse immediately rolled forward and fell to the ground after losing its support.
The knight on horseback was caught off guard and was thrown out. He rolled a few times on the ground and stopped just in front of Huo Zhenplozi.
Hozhenpouloz pulled out the bayonet from the neck of the man who kept spurting blood. He didn't have time to wipe off the blood on the knife, and loaded the bullet amidst the screams and roars in the distance.
At this time, three men rushed over on horseback. Hozhenpouloz fired again. This shot did not hit the horse, but hit the right arm of the man on the far left. The saber in his hand fell. down.
This man obviously had not been so seriously injured, he just covered the bleeding place and screamed, letting the war horse carry him forward.
The other two people's attention was focused on Huo Zhenplozi in front, and the screams distracted them. They did not notice a few arrows shot out of the forest on the side.
Herbs that instantly paralyze people and animals are hard to find, but prescriptions that increase pain are much simpler. The war horses knocked people to the ground in pain.
Hozhenpouloz immediately rushed over, avoiding the crazy horses, and took advantage of the opportunity when the two fell to the ground to kill another person. When he was about to kill the third person, the person reached out and held his hand. The gun barrel prevents the bayonet from being inserted into his neck.
The opponent has been eating well and drinking well since he was a child, and his strength is much greater than that of Huozhenplotz, but the initiative lies in the hands of Huozhenplotz. This guy has no martial ethics. Then he kicked the opponent hard between the legs.
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard in the distance behind. Liheer, who returned, shot an arrow into the gap between the helmet and breastplate of the man with the severed hand at the back of his neck.
Belle Burke was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she trembled all over and her mind went blank. Only when she saw the man opposite raised the strange weapon did she think of turning around and running away.
The gunfire sounded, and Belle Burke shook and fell off the horse.
"There is no more behind for now." Liheer walked out of the mountain.
Huo Zhenplozi said to her hurriedly: "Why are you back? Run quickly. These are just scouts. They won't be able to escape when the big troops come from behind."
Lee Hull said: "I don't want the goods anymore. Push the cart up quickly and report to Heim City immediately."
Huo Zhenplotz and the others didn't know that when Belle Burke and others first entered the Wesson Territory, starting from the time when the first message tree was put down on the top of the mountain, the information was passed to Frederick step by step.
