"Captain of the company, why do we attack the fertilizer yard? Grand Duke Marin once ordered that anyone who intends to take the fertilizer yard will be punished for treason!" Petrak's adjutant Hagassa asked in confusion.
"Marin?" Petrak sneered and continued:
"He is dead, Hagassa! And the commander of Steindorf has already had a quarrel with Orich, which is equivalent to treason. We are now snatching the secrets of the fertilizer farm just to seize the secrets and offer them to the commander of the legion!" Petrak deserves to be the leader of the company for a long time, and is more cunning.
If it were normal, he would definitely not dare to send troops casually. Because his subordinates might not have listened to him and rebelled with him.
However, this time Steindorf had a chance with Orich on the surface for acting.
No one below knew that the acting was at this time, and Petrak didn't know that it was acting. But it didn't matter. Petrak planned to use this opportunity to mobilize the entire company under the name of "snatching secrets to the commander of the Legion". Although the people below were puzzled, they thought that the commander of the Legion did fall apart with Orich, so they followed Petrak out.
Petrak was also very good at fooling people. He told the soldiers of the company that if they snatch the secret of fertilizer and give it to the commander of the legion, it would be a great achievement. The commander of the legion is in charge of tens of thousands of troops and may establish his own country in Shileswig in the future. If he makes contributions now, when the legion becomes a formal prince in the future, he will have a great chance of being granted title...
Sure enough, this excuse touched many people. Is it not only for salary and food to take risks in the army? Soon, the entire company was fooled by Petrak.
But in fact, Petrack looked down on Steindorf, who was born in a civilian family and had a "low bloodline". After getting the secret, he would take 50 of his confidants to steal some horses, and then take the secret to escape south...
...
In fact, the duke behind him did not let him take the secret of robbing fertilizer, but just asked him to stand by in the Third Legion and waited for an opportunity to block the Third Legion from going south and the coalition forces of several princes.
But Petrak didn't think so. He knew that getting the secret of the fertilizer from Beihai Kingdom was a great achievement. If the army went north to grab the secret of the fertilizer yard, he would have nothing to do. Afterwards, he would not be rewarded. So, this time, he took advantage of the chaos in Beihai Kingdom and got the secret in advance to maximize his interests.
...
Just as the two were talking, a loud shout suddenly came from the fertilizer yard:
"Who?"
Then, a soldier patrolling night suddenly appeared on the small city tower at the main entrance of the fertilizer field.
When he saw a large group of people gathered outside the gate of the fertilizer processing site, he was shocked and shouted:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Petrak was furious and quickly picked up a spear, threw it onto the city wall as a javelin, and penetrated the guard who was on duty. However, the guards dodged.
Then, in the Fertilizer Field Barracks, 100 guards got up one after another, put on simple armor, took their weapons, and stood on the city wall.
When Petrak saw that he could not attack, he simply changed to a strong attack. He pulled out his command knife and said loudly:
"Soldiers, attack!"
Jacob, the director of the Fertilizer Field, felt that he was unable to defeat the enemy when he saw that there were many enemies outside the Fertilizer Field. So he ordered loudly:
"Look the beacon, and let the three-sounding signal flares (firecrackers) ask for help!"
Then, a large fire lit up at the top of the highest sentry tower in the fertilizer field, and the fire lit up. At the same time, several three-tone firecrackers were ignited and exploded in the air...
If it were during the day, the sound of firecrackers might not be far away and were covered by noises. However, it was midnight, and everything was silent. The sound of these firecrackers spread far away...
On the west gate of Shileswig City, the guards in charge of observing saw the fire in the distance and the subsequent explosion (the speed of light spreads faster than the sound). They were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted:
"No, something happened to the fertilizer yard! Go and send someone to report!" The sentry on the Xichengmen Tower had a responsibility - to observe the movements of the fertilizer yard...
...
Not to mention the reaction in the city of Schleswig, at this time, Petrak's company launched a fierce attack.
However, the walls of the fertilizer yard are still very high, and the gates are very solid, which are difficult to break. However, this failed to stump Petrak...
"Come on, get on the powder barrel!"
Petrak knew Doni Cry, a famous blasting expert in the Beihai Kingdom. He also specially invited him to drink and found some skills to blast the city gate.
So, just yesterday, he spent a lot of money to get a bucket of gunpowder from a captain of an artillery company who was also indifferent.
After the powder keg was brought, Petrak did not immediately ask someone to blast it, but instead went to dig a hole with the suicide squad:
"You guys, holding shields in one hand and engineer shovels in the other, rushed to the front door and digging a hole!"
Then, a team of soldiers held a shield in one hand and the engineer shovel invented by Marin in the other, risked their lives to rush to the gate to start digging a hole...
It is also the fertilizer farm that is unlucky. In order to facilitate fertilizing the farmland, the fertilizer farm is generally built in places with a lot of farmland. Therefore, the front door of the fertilizer farm is usually filled with soil and few stones.
Therefore, it is very convenient for Petrack's men to dig a hole. Although more than half of the people died in a group, the hole was dug down.
Then, Petrack asked his confidant to carry a powder barrel and hold a door, rushed to the gate of the fertilizer yard, and lit the fuse...
With a "boom", the large wooden door of the fertilizer yard was blown up...
"Brothers, rush!" Petrak roared, waving his sword.
At the same time, in the fertilizer field, Jacob, the director of the field, also shouted:
"The time has come to be loyal to the great duke. Brothers, please stop them with me! Reinforcements are coming back to save us!"
...
However, the combat effectiveness of regular troops and militias was too great. Without the cover of the city wall, the fertilizer field was quickly broken. Even the field leader Jacob died bravely...
Petrak looked at the hundreds of captured fertilizer yard workers with pride and asked proudly:
"Who do you know the formula of fertilizer? Tell me, I will spare you!"
The leading deputy director Morico immediately vomited Petrak's saliva and said angrily:
"Bah, you traitor! How dare you covet the secrets of the Beihai State? You are waiting for the whole family to be executed!"
Petrak was furious and immediately pulled out the knife and stabbed Morico with one knife. Then, he pulled out the bloody sword and threatened:
"You guys, tell me the formula of the fertilizer quickly. Otherwise, let's die with him!"
Hundreds of workers in the fertilizer yard looked at Petrack like fools...
"Hmm? Not convinced? Want to die?" Petrak raised his sword again...
"No... Sir, the fertilization yard leader and the deputy yard leader know the specific recipe. The yard leader died in the battle just now, and the one you stabbed to death just now is the yard leader..." The worker pointed at by Petrak's sword replied tremblingly.
"..." Petrak was shocked, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground...
A stream of passion surged into his throat, Petrak was very much like committing suicide at this moment...
The deputy yard leader was captured, but was not killed in battle bravely, but was captured, indicating that Morico was not strong in his determination to die. As long as the means were appropriate, news could still be dug out. Unfortunately, Petrak didn't know the fertilizer yard, but the two knew the specific recipe, and thought the workers knew it. Then, he killed the wrong person and killed the insider...
"What do you all know?" Petrak said angrily.
"The little people don't know much. They only know that every two months, the field manager or deputy field manager will bring people to transport three kinds of things, one dark black (air-dried and deodorized dung), one gray (apatite), and one thing similar to salt, but not salt, and it's cool after eating (potassium sulfate). Then, the little people are mainly responsible for stirring the three kinds of things thoroughly and then sending people to the fields..."
"You don't know what those three things are?" Petrak asked unwillingly.
The workers shook their heads:
"At this time, the highest secret of the fertilizer field is, only the chief and deputy director are qualified to know."
"Do you know where these three things are shipped?"
"I don't know, the director of the field will not let us ask." Everyone shook their heads.
Chapter completed!
