Sir Yat ~ Sir Yat!" Seeing that Yat who was tranced ignored Viscount Jeffrey's words, Charles quickly reminded him.77dus

"Sorry, Lord Legion, what did you ask me just now?" Yat quickly shifted his eyes from the burning firewood in the brazier in the tent to Viscount Jeffrey.

Viscount Jeffrey looked unhappy, "If you like that brazier, I can give it to you, but now I'm asking you to discuss the siege strategy, not to let you think about the spring in the brazier."

The officers in the tent couldn't help laughing.

"Sir Legion, I want to ask where the firewood in Solburgh City is piled up?" Yat asked suddenly.

Jeffrey was a little annoyed by this inexplicable question, "I'm asking you to think about countermeasures. Where do you care about the Lombards' firewood? Do you want to borrow firewood from them-"

Jeffrey stopped just after saying the word "firewood".

"Sir Yat, do you have any ideas?" Jeffrey asked in a tight voice.

Att thought for a moment and took a step from the end of the camp, and replied, "Sir, we are outside the city, so we are naturally not worried about lacking firewood, but it is different in the city of Solburg. There is no woods and shrubs in the small Solburgh city for Lombards to cut down. There is no need to mention the firewood needed to make food every day. Now that winter is approaching, a large amount of firewood must be needed to make fires to keep warm."

Jeffrey's eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked quickly to Yat, "You mean burning firewood in the city!"

"Yes! The Lombards could have predicted that we might infiltrate the burning of food and supplies, but they should not have thought that we would burn their firewood. They could not even hide the firewood in the stone house, right? Then there would be no firewood in the city, even if they had reserved food for ten years, it would be useless. What's more, the Lombards still need to use firewood to keep warm and keep warm. They can't use firewood to keep warm. Most of the houses in the city are built with stones, so they just want to demolish wooden boards as firewood. "

"Once there is no material guarantee in the city that can be maintained for a long time, the Lombards may surrender and may go out of the city to fight against us in the wild. No matter that result, it is much better than it is now. We really don't have time to spend outside Solburgh. After a while, our baggage line will be blocked by snow..."

Everyone in the room stared at Yat and listened to Yat's words. They had never thought that the firewood that had burned the Lombar defenders in the past was burning. For them, the firewood that could be cut everywhere was really unattracted. To be honest, Yat was also a sudden idea of ​​staring at the burning brazier in the tent just now.

"The cavalry team is exploring the situation in the city of Experiment. Do you know where the firewood is piled in the city?" Jeffrey asked the cavalry captain.

Everyone focused their eyes on the cavalry captain.

The captain of the cavalry was discomfortably seen by everyone and replied, "Legislative Commander, this~ I didn't say that I should pay attention to where the Lombards put the firewood in them~ Besides, for no reason, who would pay attention to where those worthless things are placed~"

Everyone looked disappointed.

"There are two places in the city where firewood is piled up in large quantities. One is the Dongcheng Free Market less than 80 steps away from the outer wall of Dongcheng, and the other is the wasteland next to the North City Church. If you save some money, it should be fine to support the fire for half a year. Considering that the firewood needs to be heated in the cold winter, it can be used for three or five months. By the way, there are also a lot of firewood piled up in the open space next to the stables in the lord's hall, but it is not much more than the other two." Knight Charis spoke while everyone was silent.

Why can he know the location of firewood in the city? Because the two tasks of infiltrating into Solburgh burning the granary and poisoning the water to the well were responsible for the Knights of Charis. In order to find out the location of the granary and water in the city, he would of course have to be much clearer about the layout of the various parts of the city.

"But it's useless to know where the firewood is piled in the city. Even if the Lombards cannot send people to guard the firewood, the entire Solburgh is now very careful to defend the diving. It is not that easy for you to sneak into the city to set fire." Charles raised a very difficult problem.

"Yes, after the first two infiltrations, it is unlikely that we will set fire under the noses of the Lombards." Viscount Jeffrey's mood just now fell down again.

After finally having a good idea, they were blocked again, and everyone sighed again.

Just when everyone was about to give up this trick, the legion’s baggage officer who had never spoken spoke, “Legislative Commander, sirs, you don’t have to sneak into the city again.”

Everyone turned their eyes to this inconspicuous "chef-handsman leader".

The adjutant of the legion in charge of the baggage team encouraged him as if he had picked up a treasure: "What good way do you have to tell me quickly? If you really can marching, the commander of the legion will definitely reward you with great reward!"

"Yes, right, I'm talking about it quickly." Jeffrey also echoed.

The baggage officer has a fat waist and a round belly, and a bare head. At first glance, he has drunk a lot of oil and water. Everyone is not very good at this guy, but at this moment everyone looks at the baggage officer with anticipation and praise.

"Legislative Commander, dear sirs, although we cannot enter the city, we can throw the fire into the city through a catapult."

"The catapult is not so far away." An officer questioned.

"If you throw a stone ball, of course it is impossible to throw it so far, but it would be different if you change it to something lighter than a stone heart ball."

"You mean the tinder tank?" Yat said to the baggage officer.

"Mr. Att is indeed resourceful. He just uses a trench machine to shoot tinned oil pots. The tin oil pots can definitely fall on the pile of firewood, but we need to find a way to ignite the tincture. We cannot expect the tincture to burn by ourselves or ask the Lombards to help ignite them." The logistics officer encountered another problem.

"This is not difficult, I have a way." Yat answered after taking the conversation.

The three of them solved the problems that were facing everyone with one word.

"Okay! OK!! Since this wonderful plan was created by the three of you together, then I will leave this matter to you three to complete. If it succeeds, I will definitely ask for me!" The smile finally hung on Viscount Jeffrey's face.

In the next few days, Yat stayed in the army camp outside the north city. He and the three of them, Charis and the legion's baggage officer, gathered around the catapult and the turbulent tank all day long.

"Sir Yat, why did I not expect to wrap charcoal particles with tinder as the tinder?"

In the open space next to the camp, the baggage officer held a sealed pot in his hand. The pot was filled with fluffy turtle velvet. The turtle velvet is the most burning charcoal particle in his heart. Within a certain period of time, as long as the sealed pot outside is broken, the turtle charcoal particle is in contact with the air, the open flame will be ignited in a short while.

Next to the turtle crock pot, there are more than forty sealed pots filled with tinder oil and fire.

"Master Baohuo, have you tested the catapult? Can you win?" Yat asked.

"I asked the throwers to choose two more reliable trenchers for trial throwing. The throwers conducted drills based on the distance provided by Sir Charles, and it should be fine."

"Okay, let's go and give the Legion Commander a reward, and it will start tomorrow."

On the third Sunday of December, the sun shines on the southern continent. The silent attack and defense battlefield of Solburg, which had been silent for many days, broke out at a time when it was supposed to be a week of reclamation.

The first company of the Eastern Legion, two flag teams of the second company, two flag teams of the fourth company, and two flag teams of the crossbow team, a total of more than 700 people started to "attack" Solburg again from the east and west and north sides.

However, this "strong attack" was only for the Lombards to see, with the purpose of attracting more Lombards to the city to prepare for war and creating better conditions for the conspiracy of the Yats.

Having said that, even the feint attack of Viscount Jeffrey was true. The first company of the elite legion pushed the siege tower and the city-breaking hammer and attacked the North City under the cover of the catapult; the attack teams in the other two directions were also very powerful.

In the back formation outside the North City and East City, six catapults kept throwing stone balls into the city, and the Solburg walls were smashed to splashing gravel everywhere.

Among the six trenchers, the two trenchers have different directions of projectiles and the thrown objects loaded in the pockets.

The two catapults aimed at the exterior walls of Solburg, but crossed the walls to target the free market in the East City and the wasteland outside the church in the North City.

The throwing property loaded in the pocket of the trencher's bomb pocket is not an ordinary stone ball, but a small stone with the same weight as the tinder tank and the tinder tank.

Of course, these two catapults are testing the shooting. Since it is a test shooting, it is impossible to use a tinder oil tinder tank directly. First, if the test shooting is used, if the tinder oil tinder is not hit by the firewood pile, it may arouse the alertness of the Lombards. Second, because the Eastern Legion is not a Lombard, and tinder oil is quite precious. There are not many stocks in the legion's armed warehouse, so it is impossible to use them directly for test shooting.

Cooperating with the two catapults were two high siege towers. They were pushed to a safer distance by the siege team and slowly approached the city wall.

The siege tower sent soldiers who were specifically responsible for observing the landing point and correcting the direction, holding flags to serve as "eyes" for the catapult.

The legion outside the North City attacked the rear formation, and a stone was thrown up by a catapult, and flew over the wall into Sol Fort.

Yat held hands to observe the soldiers on the siege tower. Seeing the soldiers waving flags to the right a few times, Yat turned around and ordered a dozen soldiers under the trencher, "Turn the trencher half a step to the right."

More than a dozen soldiers shouted a trumpet and raised the side of the trench base and moved the heavy trench to the right half a step.

"emission!"

The throwing soldier put the stone into the bullet pocket, then raised the hammer and knocked the lock tip open.

The stone was shot out by the catapult and flew towards Solburg in an arc.

After a while, the soldiers on the siege tower waved the flags upwards a few more times.

"Tmd, flew over again!" Yat cursed, and then ordered the cavalry beside him: "You guys, take down a small counterweight stone."

The soldiers took out a piece of the counterweight strip from the counterweight frame at the front end of the trencher, and then repeated the action just now.

After a while, the soldiers on the siege tower finally put down their flags and waved their hands.

"Okay! Okay!!" Yat excitedly walked around the catapult and ordered a cavalryman on standby after the catapult: "Hurry to go to Dongcheng to see if the baggage officer is ready."

The cavalry led the people to jump on their horses and run towards the east city.

The feint attack team is about to approach the city wall. If the shooting is not completed here, the feint attack team will have to retreat.

Just as Yat was waiting for anxiety, the cavalry finally came back, "Sir Yat, you're ready, you're ready!"

"The turbulent oil tanks are all shot out for me!!"

At Yat's order, more than 20 turbulent oil tanks were all shot out by the catapult, and then seven or eight pots filled with tinder charcoal particles flew over the wall...

"What's wrong with the people outside the city today? All the stones hit the church. Do they want to smash God out?"

Seeing the stones falling near the North City Church, several Lombardy defenders on the outer walls of the North City couldn't help but mutter.

Another soldier sneered a few times and joked: "Who knows, maybe he can't conquer Solburgh. Those bastards are anxious, but it's useless to even stomp the church. God will always stand on the side of the great Lombardy."

"Haha~" a group of Lombardy guards burst into laughter.

Just as the soldiers were amused by the stupid actions of the enemies outside the city, the Lombardy officers who were commanding the defense at the top of the city stared at the broken pots that had "smashed" and fell on the pile of firewood beside the church.

"That thing doesn't look like a stone!" the commander exclaimed.

However, the turtle and charcoal particles in the broken pot came into contact with the air and a flame had already ignited. The flame was connected to the black turtle oil spilled in the turtle oil tank in a short while, and the fire was ignited, and the fire rushed up rapidly...

"Not good! The firewood pile in Dongcheng has caught fire!!" Another soldier glanced at the firewood pile in Dongcheng Free Market, which was even more intense, and exclaimed to the alarm.

"Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire!! Hurry up and put out the fire!!" The Lombardian commander shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Woo~ Woo

Just as the soldiers on the wall were planning to put out the open flames that had just risen by the firewood pile beside the church, three horns sounded outside the city. This was not the horn of retreat...

In the middle of the Eastern Army, Viscount Geoffrey had already seen the thick smoke rising from two places in the east and north of the city, but Viscount Geoffrey did not withdraw the feinted attack team as planned. He chose to take the opportunity to launch a new round of substantial attacks on Solburgh. Anyway, the soldiers' deaths were inevitable. Maybe they could take advantage of the chaos in the city to take down the exterior wall of Solburgh in one fell swoop.

This made the army that was originally just a feint attack, but they were not ready to fight. The retreat sound that should have sounded turned into a urging the urging number.

No matter how unwilling I am, I always dare not disobey my life, so I can only rush forward with my teeth...

On that day, the legion siege team did not take down the exterior wall, but the two firewood piles in Solburgh were burned into two large pieces of ashes, and the fierce fire also rushed to the surroundings of the two firewood piles, burning more than a dozen wooden houses to the point of coke...
