Chapter 615 (1/2)

”Push! Push! Push! Push

The officers roared, and one by one the catapults were piled up under the wall of the city. The soldiers carried tools and wood back and forth, pushed heavy catapults one by one onto the city wall with their shoulders, and set stone frames one by one under the city wall.

The logistics troops took down all the wooden boards that could be dismantled in the city and made a large number of simple wooden shields.

The soldiers also knew that the battle would break out at any time. Without the fortress on the eastern front, Yakin city was exposed to the iron feet of the enemy. The enemy's wolf cavalry, as well as those Orc soldiers, can go all the way south on the plain without hindrance. It only takes two days to get to Yajin city!

Although the enemy did not move, the Duke of tulip was right: fate must be in his own hands. We can't expect the enemy not to go south. We should make more preparations now.

Therefore, although the officers and supervisors are almost harsh, most of the soldiers have no complaints. After all, it's also for your own life.

There used to be a small hillside not far from the city of Yakin. Duwei had already sent someone to go up the hillside and cut down all the original dozens of trees on the hillside. Another observation tower was set up on the hillside. From this height, you can see miles away. Although there are Griffin Knights patrolling in the sky, there are only 100 Griffin knights in total. There are always omissions in the patrol rounds.

The whole city of Yakin is in full swing. The army and the people are working together to prepare for the war. Innumerable one person holds the thick west the wooden stake to be full of the nail, has made the rolling nail pile in the city wall. After repeated reinforcement, in order to meet the battle at any time, a lot of wood was placed at the gate. All the carpenters in the city were busy for several days without a good sleep.

In the temporary headquarters of Yakin City, Dewey is discussing the war situation with 11 military academy graduates of his direct line. In addition, there are several local garrison commanders who have been transferred, as well as several middle-level officers who have escaped from the defeated storm Corps.

The defeat of the front line almost wiped out the senior generals of the eastern defense line, especially those with outstanding martial arts skills. Most of them died that night when they resisted the dragon. As for those who escaped... To be honest, Dewey didn't think much of these guys.

It may be excusable for ordinary soldiers to run away. After all, in such a noisy scene, everyone ran with them, just like a headless fly.

But when the general's escape, it's very different! As a general, you can't gather your own troops on the battlefield. Unable to calm the scene and make effective command and decision, Du Wei met several generals who had fled back. As a result, Du Wei, who was still under illusion about these people, gave up completely.

It seems that... Even if there is a brave general like Fink in the storm Corps. But there are also pustules. Some of the guys who escaped even wore a robe when they ran out. What's more, after the city broke, they only estimated that they were on the run, and even their own teams were left behind.

More ridiculous. After running to the city of Arkin and meeting Dewey, he demanded to command his original army again. Dewey immediately answered him: your army is no longer there. When you ran away, as a general, you abandoned your army. Now you come to me and want to go back?

Joke!

As a result, Dewey, no matter what influence he had, put those impetuous generals on the run. All of them were sent to the rear service.

It is true that he has been appointed as the chief General of the eastern front, but under normal circumstances, Dewey has no right to remove so many senior generals at once. Fortunately, after the defeat, everything was in a mess, and no one asked him whether the decrees were in line with the rules, whether there were military approval documents, and so on.

However, several urgent letters were sent from the military headquarters. It was said that the news of the lost Eastern fortress spread to the imperial capital. It's going to knock the whole military department over. The Regent was so angry that he lifted the table on the spot, and then sent a series of urgent messages to Arkin city. All in all, there is one meaning: Dewey, now you want people to give, money to give, what you want to give! DIDU will try to meet all your requirements! But... We must keep the city of Yajin. We can't step back!

Because in the back, from the north to the inner belly of the Empire, it was almost a flat plain!

”We have a few more questions.” Gabriel wiped his face with a hot towel. Although he was tired, the boy's eyes were still very bright. When the young man first went to the front line, Gabriel showed more and more energy. He dropped the towel and said to Duwei, ”my Lord, all the catapults in the warehouse have been put on the wall, But our problems are: first, we lack skilled Gunners! In order to form an effective killing weapon, the catapult must have skilled gunners and observers. We are short of the personnel reserves of these two skilled arms. Now we rush to let our people to operate the crossbow. I am afraid that even if we put a cow 20 meters away, they will be crooked. This is the first... The second problem is particularly serious. There are a lot of arrows stored in the warehouse, but there is a shortage of special catapults for catapults. Now, on average, each catapult can only have two base stocks of catapults. Once the war starts, I'm afraid these stocks will be used up after a battle. Then, the catapults on the city wall will become furnishings. ”

Gabriel looked at his colleague and said in a loud voice, ”if it's just an ordinary arrow, the craftsmen in the city can make it temporarily. But this kind of crossbow must be forged by professional military equipment. We can't make it ourselves. ”

Du Wei nodded and looked at his younger brother with satisfaction. This boy is really worthy of the Rowling family. The inheritance of his father, old Raymond, is particularly obvious in him. When he comes to the battlefield, he seems to become a calf. The whole body has endless strength. Looking into Gabriel's red eyes, Dewey knew that the boy had not slept for nearly three days.

”Well, I've written down the two questions you said. Someone has been sent to the rear to mobilize, and the person who was sent to contact the main eastern frontier has returned. General Rostock said that he would send a batch of materials to us as soon as possible.”

Gabriel said, and without waiting for Dewey to ask, arol immediately said in a loud voice, ”my Lord. I inspected the city wall. Generally speaking, the city wall of Yakin was in good condition. The repair work before the war was in line with the standard. However, the location of the west side of the city was not far away from the city because it was the hillside. I was worried that once the war started, the enemy would occupy the hillside so that I could have a distant view of the city. We will observe all our internal activities, but now time is too tight, we have no time to excavate the hillside... ”

Dewey closed his eyebrows and knocked on the table: ”it's a difficult problem. You all think about it and see if there's anything you can do. If it doesn't work. Ask the magician to help. But it's a hillside after all. I'm afraid it's not so easy to level it. If it's really not possible, set up a few catapults in the west of the city. ”

After yaluoer finished reporting, it was a slender young officer with brown and black hair who stood up to speak. Did Dewey give this guy a good look, Kira? Well, it's the guy with the same name as the protagonist of Godard in his military academy.

”Sir, everything in the barracks is safe. We have dispatched a large number of officers at the grass-roots level to reorganize the defeated troops of the storm corps as you ordered. But... ”At this point, the young man's tone was a bit awkward.

”But what?” Dewey snorted.

”Over the past few days, some of them have come here one after another to report on the officers in the defeated areas of the front line. Some people came to the barracks and asked to take over the command of their old army. ”

Pop!

Du Wei then picked his eyebrows, slapped the table hard, and suddenly said angrily, ”son of a bitch! At the beginning, I lost my army in order to escape. Now I want to be a general when I come back! ”

”Yes, my Lord.” Kira said in a deep voice: ”some of them are above the rank of commander, and claim that they belong to the storm Corps. Although you are the manager of the east line. However, there is no right to remove the general of the storm corps, and some people claim to invite general Rostock to come... ”

”Let them go!” Dewey sneered: ”these cowards. They dare to go to Rostock! The frontier fortress has been lost. I'm afraid Rostock has no place to vent his anger now. As defeated generals, how dare these people go to find general Rostock? Hum

He suddenly lowered his voice, glared at Kira, and said in a deep voice, ”I'll give you a military order... I just don't know if you have the courage to do it!”

With that, Dewey's eyes flashed with strange light, and there was a ferocious sneer on the corner of his mouth.

”Kyla took a look at Duwei and took a deep breath:” dare

”Good!” Dewey sat back and said, ”if there are any more people going to the barracks, you will drive them out! If you still don't leave, catch up and fight! If you dare to make trouble even if you hit the baton... ”Du Wei said here, deliberately pause, and then coldly said:” I grant you the privilege, whoever dares to disturb the military discipline in the barracks, regardless of rank, kill!! If something goes wrong, I'll take it! ”

After that, Du Wei grabbed a pen and paper from the desk, brushed it, and quickly wrote a letter of authorization, and then handed it to Kira. He deliberately looked at the young man coldly to see if he had the courage to do this kind of thing. After all, to do this kind of thing, although Du Wei said something, he would bear it, but after all, as the executor, if he killed, It will offend a lot of people.

The young man, Kira, was silent, but firmly took the military order from Dewey with both hands. Then he gave a salute and strode out.

Du Wei nodded with satisfaction, although not quite the same as the protagonist in his impression, but this young man is a good seedling!

Dewey leaned back down and rubbed his sore brow. He was very busy these days. After a look at the generals in the hall, he regained his spirits and listened to other officers' reports about the barracks and city defense in the city.

At this time, suddenly a figure burst in, slamming the door of the hall, and then strode in.

The visitor seems to be a bit reckless, but he looks calm. Just running all the way, it seems to be a little out of breath.

”Aslan, what's the matter?” Yaluoer gave a deep warning.

Du Wei a look, it is one of his ”up to the protagonist”, that is called aslandi guy.

”My Lord.” Aslan immediately stood up and saluted, but spoke quickly: ”outside the city, there is a wolf cavalry approaching!”

WOW!

On hearing this, all the generals in the room immediately stood up. More people put their hands directly on the sword around their waist.

Aslan then hastened to continue: ”the other side's wolf cavalry has only 20 cavalry. After a careful look at the sentry, there is no other side's follow-up troops nearby, so it must be a lonely army. And... They don't seem to come to attack the city, they seem to be an emissary! ”
