Exploding favorite waste material concubine: Evil King, don't be arrogant!

Chapter 1534

The next day, in the afternoon—
The chief of staff who was in charge of searching for the enemy rushed into the meeting room.

"The Imperial Army has appeared!"

"It came later than expected"

"That's... because the cannons are installed in the forest..."

At the same time, there was an explosion.

Xia Hou frowned.

Go out from the meeting room, pass through the original mine passage like a cave, and come to the observation deck made by digging out the outer wall.

View of the flatlands south of the fort from a crack in the rock.

It is a large dry winter forest.

Because it was used to train soldiers before, it has almost become a wasteland without vegetation.

The figure of the imperial army was just outside the forest.

It is located 3000 meters away from the outer wall of Snow Country Fortress.

Our own cannons are the latest models purchased from abroad, and they are located higher than the flat ground, so they can shoot very far.

But even so, it was just out of range.

According to the reconnaissance report, the imperial army seems to be preparing medium-sized cannons.

Range is said to be 2 kilometers.In this way, even if the two sides attack each other, they will not be able to hit each other.

"Those Imperial Army guys...what are they trying to do with their cannons at this distance?"

Another shot was fired.

White smoke rose from the cannon, and a little later there was an explosion.

"A misshot?"

No staff can answer that question.

Then other cannons also spewed white smoke.

There was a roar again.

Then it landed far away from here.

Wrinkles formed between Xia Hou's brows.

"Did the scouting party see nothing else? Just cavalry and infantry and artillery?"

"Yes! There is also a lot of food and supplies."

"Materials?"

"We confirmed a large number of wooden boxes and large tents."

"Are you going to fight for a long time?"

"It looks like that!"

The staff members became uneasy about the incredible actions of the Imperial Army.

Xia Hou was lost in thought.

"...If you install cannons, it will be difficult to get close to scouting. Increase the manpower of the watchtower to guard against night raids."

"Obey!"

"Also, they dispatched a detour to scout the city. Maybe they planned to buy time for the advance troops to carry out large-scale reinforcements."

"I-I see that's how it is!"

The unknown is terror.

Regarding the incomprehensible actions of the Imperial Army, one of Xia Hou's possibilities was accepted as the only correct answer.

Setting up a stronghold in front of the fortress and continuously increasing the number of troops there, they think that it is indeed a tactic that an empire with outstanding military power will adopt.

On the other hand, this means that they also have the optimistic thinking that if it weren't for that kind of unheard-of large army, they would not be able to capture the Snow Country Fortress."

"If the empire has large-scale reinforcements, it is necessary to defeat the advance troops before merging. It may be necessary to go out of the fortress to fight, so be prepared."

"Obey!"

The staff gathered their heels together to salute Xia Hou's order.

This is the situation on the first day.

On the third day of the battle──
The shelling continued day and night.

Even if you can't hit it, the roar is still there.

The ground shook too.

The staff looked haggard.

"Soldiers reported that they couldn't sleep and felt unwell. Also, there were concerns about whether the shaking would collapse the mine."

Xia Hou shook his head and said, "It's nonsense. Gunpowder was used to dig mines before, would these caves collapse because of this level... Moreover, shells have also hit the outer wall in defensive battles so far. How could a shell that missed cause a collapse. Go and shut up those who say such nonsense. Those who continue to make noise like this should be locked in prison."

"Obey!"

The staff who had the same idea fell silent.

The other stood up from his seat.
