"Damn!" Facing the polygonal fortress outside the west city of the Kings Fort, Geisa Adonis expressed the same feeling as his subordinates, "I'm still late!"

Brigadier General Skur Mecklen next to him said nothing.

Captain Woods, who accompanied the two generals to the front line, obviously did not know how to winks and was still concentrating on explaining the terrain:

"...The new urban area on the west bank originally had only city walls but no moat. But you see, the city walls are now basically wrapped in trenches and rammed earth walls.

"If I guess correctly, there should be a chest wall behind this rammed earth wall, right at the foot of the city wall - because that's what we taught when we were in school."

Woods' expression was a little bitter: "There may even be a trench, because I calculated that with the volume of this rammed earth wall, it is far from enough to extract soil from the trench in front."

"Why do you still have to guess?" Gaisa frowned and said unhappily, "Send a few people to take a look at them at night, and you will know everything?"

Woods was scolded to shrink his neck and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Luo Song sighed in his heart and took the initiative to defend his junior: "This kind of reconnaissance may lead to casualties. We dare not make a decision if you and General Skur are not present."

Hearing Luo Song's words, Gaisa became even more displeased and his tone became stern, "What's the matter that I dare not make a decision?! You are all school officials! What does it mean to be alone, don't you know?"

Now, Luo Song didn't dare to say anything.

"Forget it, Adonis," Skur Mecklen, who had not spoken, couldn't bear to be scolded in public and made a sound to smooth things over. "They just became majors and captains. They had to obey orders before, but now they were scared and normal to ask them to make decisions."

Skul opened the golden mouth, and Gesa took the donkey. He picked up his arm, quit Woods Frank's eyes, and stopped talking.

In fact, Geisa also knew that this matter was not a big deal, so there was no need to scold Woods and Losson.

But he really had anger in his heart that he had nowhere to vent. If he encountered it, he could only be considered unlucky for the major and the captain.

"You two, remember it in the future," Skul cleared his throat, raised the invisible board, and gently slapped Luo Song and Woods' butts. "Don't always think about doing the 'right' thing. You are soldiers. The most important thing is to do the 'winner' thing. Don't always wait for others to give you orders..."

As he spoke, Skul suddenly realized that it seemed more appropriate to tell him his warning, so he coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Captain Woods, please continue your report."

"Report?" Woods woke up, "Oh! Report! Where is it coming... By the way, fortress, talk about fortress."

Woods swallowed and pointed to both ends of the city wall: "In addition to the main fort in front of the city gate, Minister Conelisbon also built a sub fort at Water Gate and River Bank. And the castle extended from the city wall as a supplement.

"I have selected a few points outside the new city these days, inspected it on the spot, and confirmed that no matter which attack route it is, it is within the range of artillery attack in the city. Minister Conelisbon not only cleared the shooting boundary, but even changed the original terrain in some directions."

"The defense of the main fort is particularly terrifying," Woods pointed to the area in front of the fort. "Did you see the color of the soil around the main fort? It's all new soil. The main fort seems to be flat ground, but in fact it's all gentle slopes. As long as you walk up, you're facing the hidden wall, the Triangle Fort and the shooting line of the main fort."

Woods bit his lips and gave a conclusion with a stern tongue: "I'm sure that it's a killing zone designed by Minister Conelisburn. So, under no circumstances would I recommend attacking that fort."

The atmosphere today was a bit unnatural, and the officers present were careful, for fear of being irritated by General Geisa.

As Captain Woods said this, the air became even more nervous. The other officers accompanying the inspection were silent and did not dare to make any noise.

"[Palatu swears]," Geisa Adonis himself took the lead in breaking the silence. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "The United Provinces have only known this set of turtle sword techniques for so many years! It is always this trick to play Paratu from the front of the mountain, and they are not embarrassed! [Palatu swears]!"

The officers present looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

However, after Gaisa cursed, she suddenly laughed again.

He turned to look at his subordinates and said sincerely: "But we have to admit that their turtle sword skills are really good... This bastard, Conelis, did a pretty job, gave us a difficult problem."

Seeing someone's free and casual smile on his face, the officers present breathed a sigh of relief - to be honest, this is the familiar Geis Adonis.

The irritable general who was trembling before really exhausted everyone.

Geisa touched her bare scalp and asked, "Have you sent the letter of surrender in?"

"Sent in," Luo Song answered quickly.

"What's the reaction?" Geisa looked at Luosong.

Luo Song looked puzzled, "Minister Conelisborn has not replied yet."

"I'm not asking Conelis - that guy is the stone in the swearer's pit, smelly and hard, and he feels superior," Gaisa asked with a smile. "I'm asking what other people in the city are reacting. Has no one secretly brought down the wall to secretly express his loyalty?"

"This... there is no 'insider' to contact us at the moment," Luo Song thought for a while and joked, "so I'm going to tell you that there must be a trench behind the rammed earth wall."

Gaisa laughed loudly, and the officers present also laughed.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually ease, Woods Frank took the opportunity, plucked up his courage, and interrupted: "Actually... Minister Conelisborn could have done a better job."

Geisa's smile froze on her face, her eyebrows rose little by little, and everyone's hearts then rose to their throats.

Woods also suddenly became the focus of attention, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Explanation," Geisa stared at her old subordinate, "Captain."

"Yes!" Woods subconsciously saluted and gestured with his hands and feet. "From the direction and depth of the trench, Minister Conelis should have a plan to introduce the water of the Trench River into the trench. After all, water moats are generally used in front of the mountain, so it is not surprising that the Minister wants to copy the experience of the United Provinces.

"However, it may be because they did not schedule the construction period, and it is more likely because we launched the offensive earlier than they expected."

Woods secretly glanced at senior Luo Song who had just spoken for him, "The harassment of our light cavalry has also slowed down their progress... In short, the trenches on the west bank have not been completed, at least they are still a certain distance from the ideal state."

Geisa laughed silently, "What, Captain? You want to say, we are not late?"

"It's late compared to yesterday," Woods said loudly, "but it's not too late compared to tomorrow!"

Gaisa stared at her eyes, "You kid, are you here to teach me? Just say something!"

Faced with the gaze of everyone present, Woods made up his mind and replied loudly, "I suggest that you start an attack immediately!"

Skur Mecklen couldn't help but frown and asked in a deep voice: "Captain, do you know that there is only one brigade on the front line now... Oh, no, one battalion. The large army is still behind, and the most important thing is that the artillery has not yet been in place. Are you going to let the light infantry of a battalion launch an attack alone?"

Woods couldn't stand it and whispered: "We are not ready, but the enemy is not ready either."

Skul glanced at the trenches and earthen walls outside the new city walls, "I don't think this is called unprepared."

"Minister Conellisborne is well prepared on the West Bank," Woods paused and said heavily, "but only on the West Bank."

Most of the officers present immediately understood Captain Woods' implications, especially the two generals.

Gaisa rubbed the broken scar on her left face and questioned: "But the walls of the old city are much stronger than those on the west bank, and the stones used are not of the same level. And there is a moat there."

"That's right, the walls of the old city have been added for hundreds of years, higher, thicker, stronger, and there is also a moat. The walls of the new city cannot be compared with it," Woods first affirmed the old superior's statement, and then changed the subject. "Minister Conelisbon also thought so! So he mainly invested the resources at hand to strengthen the West Bank."

Captain Woods became more and more fluent in his speech: "I think it is better to go to the other side to deal with the old walls and moats than to chew the trenches and artillery on the west bank."

"Cornelis did not repair fortifications on the East Coast?" Skul asked keenly.

"It should have been planned a star fortress, but now there is only one prototype," Woods' expression was a little frustrated, "and under construction."

"Still construction?" Geisa looked at Luosong Jiula in shock and angrily.

"The subordinates are incompetent," Luo Song bent helplessly to apologize, "The bridges thirty kilometers upstream were all blown up by Minister Conelisburn..."

"Not only fixed the bridge, but also the materials used to build the pontoon bridge were either searched or destroyed by our minister," Woods also echoed, and scratched his head, "We are trying to solve this problem."

Geisa looked down at the charred land under the horse's hooves - the small earthblock where the new army officers were now, once a small forest, burned and cut down, was cleaner than his head.

In the fields harvested outside the city, the windbreak forests used to divide the boundaries of the farmers were originally planted on both sides of the road and between the fields, and the windbreaks used to divide the boundaries disappeared.

Looking around, I felt that the surroundings of the Kings Castles were particularly deserted, with only one lonely city, which was even more desolate than the Hed Grassland.

Geisa sighed, not blaming Losson and Woods.

"Captain, there is no bridge," Skul asked seriously without trusting Woods, "How did you understand the situation on the other side?"

"I sent people to swim across the river to detect the enemy situation, and confirmed that the artillery tower on the east bank had only one prototype and was still under construction."

"Oh?" Skur became more suspicious, "Is it not dangerous to swim and reconnaissance? Can you make the decision?"

Woods was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice: "The river I sent myself to cross."

Skul stopped talking.

"Send someone else next time," Geisa looked at Captain Woods with a serious face.

"Yes." Woods raised his hand to salute with sweat.

"There is no bridge," Gaisa continued to ask coldly, "How do you plan to cross the river? How do you plan to 'launch attack immediately'?"

"The East Coast is just the main attack direction I suggest, but launch an attack immediately, not directly attacking the walls of the old city."

"Then where are you going to hit?"
