Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 213 The Battle of Mara Town

Apart from the third battalion led by Kaila, there are [-] civilians in Mara Town. Because they have been prepared, these civilians have received musket training and distributed bullets. When they heard the alarm, they fixed the ammunition He tied the box with the bayonet belt, and then walked out of the house with the musket on his back.

A total of two hundred musket militiamen, as well as the original fifty light cavalry and fifty long swordsmen, are already a force to be reckoned with. Currens has a little more confidence in defending Mara Town, not to mention He just called for help.

"All the musketeers boarded the fence, loaded ammunition and prepared to fight, and the gunners boarded the gun positions. No firing is allowed without orders!" Kaila raised the guns in his hand and loudly issued a battle order.

Currence on the side didn't speak, and waited until Kai went up to the watchtower before organizing women and children to carry more muskets and ammunition from the warehouse to do logistics work. This was silent support for the child as a father.

Bundles of muskets bundled up like firewood, boxes of ammunition piled high like bricks, would be sent to houses near the wall to be loaded.

One musket for one person is simply not enough. Firstly, it takes too much time to load it. Secondly, after firing a musket more than a dozen times in a row, not only does the barrel need to be cleaned, but it also needs to be cooled. Therefore, each musketeer should prepare at least three muskets, and these will be prepared by Their wives and children are in charge of loading preparations.

The mutants didn't give them more time to prepare, and the mutants who were attracted by the flesh and blood rushed towards the town of Mara irrationally. Only a small number were attracted by the camps on both sides of the town, which was a bit of a share. pressure.

Facing this kind of scene for the first time, Kaila's body trembled slightly, because the deformer looks too abstract. For example, the one running at the front has as many eyes as she wants, but she droops like a lantern fish. Your nerves are trembling, you bastard!

Moreover, eating people for a long time without taking care of hygiene, coupled with the pus secreted by the deformed flesh and blood, led to a strong rancid smell everywhere she went, which made her want to vomit.

However, Kaila did not forget her duty. After the aberrant stepped into the range of ten meters, she ordered the forty one-pounders gathered here to fire together. With the roar, even though the smoke was filled, she still saw A large number of mutants who rushed to the front fell to the ground with blood and flesh flying across the ground.

Although it is the smallest caliber artillery, it is still far more powerful than muskets. In addition, it does not pursue range, but only seeks close-range killing, which makes the shotguns fired more deadly. Even an extraordinarily strong Aberrant can't stop these hot shotguns.

But it's not enough, the aberrant has long lost his normal thinking, and only appetite is in his mind. As long as he is not dead, even if he is missing an arm or a leg, he will still rush forward.

The cannon was being loaded, and this time it was the musketeer's turn to show off.

Musketeers are not musketeers. The only thing they can do is to pull the trigger in the direction of the target. Whether they can hit or not depends on luck.

But the aberrants can't hold back the cooperation. There are so many and densely packed, it's hard to hit the air.

After the first round of gunfire, at least two or three hundred Aberrants were killed or injured, and there was nothing in sight.

But it's useless, and I don't know how many deformers are attracted. There are hundreds of deformers running in the front alone, and there are more deformers coming one after another. The number is so large that it is difficult to count. .

Fortunately, the aberrants had no command, otherwise thousands of aberrants would swarm up, even if there were walls, it would be difficult to resist.

"No, there are too many. Let Charlie and Monk enter Mara Town and concentrate on defense before the aberrants gather." Currence understood better than Keira, who originally didn't intend to intervene in the battle Immediately said to the daughter.

"I'll send a signal right away." Keira knew that this was not the time to vent her anger, and the constant rush of mutants did bring her a lot of pressure, so she immediately notified Charlie and Monk to meet up.

The existence of the two camps can be the horns of Mara Town, but the premise is that the enemy is rational and will be concerned about the rear road and casualties. The question is, will the aberrants be concerned about these?

Obviously not, so people must be gathered together, relying on the tall and solid walls of Mara Town, and try to rely on muskets and artillery to kill the aberrants and avoid melee combat.

As for the issue of being under siege, as long as the walls are not broken, these are not a problem.

After Charlie and Monk saw the signal, they came decisively with their men, and then stationed around the town.

After the integration, Mara Town has 100 musketeers, 150 artillerymen, [-] cannons, [-] light cavalry, and [-] long swordsmen.

If it is an ordinary enemy, even if it is three or five times more numerous, it is impossible to take down Mara Town, but in the face of the aberrant, no one dares to guarantee it, and can only do their best to prepare.

Fortunately, the person in charge of support came, which greatly relieved Currence.

Emile came out of the fireplace with a group of witches. Except for the sound of guns and guns, he didn't hear the sound of killing or screaming, so he knew that the situation was not that bad.

"Since we can persist, then we are not in a hurry to make a move." Emile said to Currence after hearing the situation in Mara Town.

Cullens has no objection to this point. After all, this is their responsibility, and they can't rely on others for everything. At least he doesn't intend to let Emile and the others take action until they can't hold on.

With Emile sitting in the rear, they could also let go of the fight, so Currence hurriedly prepared for a protracted battle.

After Cullens left, Emile sat there quietly, playing with the mace and wand in his hand, and sighed secretly.

After getting the root, the territory's intelligence network has been re-integrated, including the personnel left by the Northland Witch Union on the border of the empire. Therefore, although it was a step slower, the territory still received news related to Ferrier. .

"Even if it's you, you can't do it." Emile whispered to herself. After hearing this, the witches at the side nodded in unison, although they didn't speak, because they knew who Emile was talking about.

Most of these witches are old people from the Northland Witch Union, and they have experienced the most difficult period, because they can't tolerate someone destroying their current life, especially Ferrier, who has the name of the second leader but does nothing. .

What is hated the most is naturally a traitor.

In the eyes of these witches, Ferrier is a traitor.

The battle will not stop because of a small incident, and the battle between Mala Town and the Deformed is still going on.

However, the existence of thousands of musketeers and hundreds of cannons makes Mara Town look like a flaming hedgehog, constantly spraying hot steel, turning any enemy who dares to approach into rotten meat, even if there are many deformers, they are stronger and more terrifying , but in the situation where close combat is not possible, these advantages cannot be brought into play at all, and can only be used as a good meat target. The only difference is being killed by a musket or being killed by a cannon.

The advantage that Mara Town can gain is inseparable from the cooperation of the aberrants. They are unorganized and disciplined, and they can only rely on instinct to rush up. They cannot pose a threat to Mara Town. Charlie and the others can even arrange for musketeers and artillerymen to take turns. Guns and cannons have relatively sufficient cooling time.

Even if there is a protracted battle, Emile and the witches brought enough weapons and supplies. The guns and cannons alone are enough for everyone to replace them, not to mention the mountain of ammunition. It can be said that the Battle of Mara Town The outcome is set.
