Attacking Under Joyful Music

"Alright, Lord Lynn, what do you plan to do next?" George sighed.

Lynn spoke, "Liberate the serfs, liberate the slaves, better than Baron Jingji."

"We are not rebelling, we are revolutionizing, to liberate the slaves of Olexian and establish a free Principality of Olexian."

"Good, liberation," George said. "Then let's liberate."

Lynn took out a uniform he had prepared long ago and handed it to George. "Here, put this on. From now on, we are all glorious liberators."

War, besides decisive battles on the front lines, is often supported by a series of small skirmishes.

These small skirmishes become part of larger battles.

Except for the direct territories within the fortresses belonging to the Grand Duke of Olexian, the nobles outside the fortresses basically owned castles, or small towns if they were larger.

It's like the round city walls in Western fantasy worlds, with residential areas inside, and then the King's castle.

Although Lynn had few men, he had super navigation, super mobile rangers.

Super navigation Dog Demi-humans, super rangers, Dog Demi-humans of the hound breed, and Cat demi-humans as night scouts.

Adding himself, even if he was kicked out of the family, he still had Olexian blood, meaning he had the core of Olexian.

Now he was launching a surprise attack, relying on speed.

"Lord Lynn, what will you do next?" George asked. "Your troops are too few."

Lynn took out a map and began to analyze. "Look, this is your territory, and this is Rusca's territory."

"You are at the very top of the river, below is Count Drowo's Gla Town, Wojino Town, and then Count Drowo's city. It's surrounded by rivers on three sides. After we take this, we'll have a natural river barrier and can also go downstream to attack Scholburg Fortress."

"We just need to take the great river, and then use mobile warfare to continuously accumulate small victories into big ones."

"Alright, let's get moving!"

No matter how many soldiers are claimed, it depends on the situation. For example, in ancient times, saying a million soldiers actually included troops stationed in various places; in reality, the troops on a single front were not that many, perhaps only over a hundred thousand on one side.

Lynn was exploiting this time difference. Gla Town and Wojino Town would need about a thousand defenders, and Count Drowo's city might have a few thousand.

With the support of two Barons, Baron Kage remaining neutral, and the Barons of Gujier and Kil also neutral, as long as Drowo's city was taken, Lynn could rely on the great river defense line to wage a war of attrition against the Principality of Olexian.

Achieve great victory by accumulating continuous small victories in local areas.

Lynn requested that the Knights of the two Barons join his cavalry corps; the infantry was not needed.

After a period of marching, including a lunch break, by the afternoon, Lynn's army had already arrived at Gla Town.

The defenders of Gla Town were very confused. What was going on?

They recognized the Tricolor flag outside; it belonged to Baron Lynn.

Gray began to ride his horse to the front of the formation and shouted, "Listen, defenders inside! You are surrounded! Surrender quickly and do not offer futile resistance. We are not invaders; we are here to liberate the slaves!"

Upon hearing this, the defenders of Gla Town immediately understood what was happening.

This was rebellion!

"Just a few thousand men! Trying to rebel! What a joke!"

"Get lost! An army that disgraces the nobility!"

Cuirassiers were not like heavy cavalry Knights, and the Light Armor Musketeers couldn't tell they were armored from their appearance. They only held wooden sticks. From their perspective, what was the difference between this and a peasant uprising?

Ten noble Knights could easily overpower a thousand peasants. If it were five Mages and five Knights, with a few auxiliary troops, a hundred men could suppress ten thousand peasants.

If they were all armored, holding spears, and equipped with crossbows, they might have been a little afraid.

The defenders inside used magic to shout, and also cursed Lynn.

Since they refused to surrender, it was simple.

Lynn immediately set up his Field Cannon on a hillside a kilometer away. At this distance, even crossbows couldn't reach, unless it was a Three-bow Bed Crossbow, which could shoot 1500 meters.

Unfortunately, his Field Cannon had a maximum range of 2800 meters, so he wasn't afraid of that.

Eckley drew his saber and began to shout loudly, "Artillery setup! Calculate the distance, prepare for a test shot!"

The cannons were unloaded from the ammunition racks, and the soldiers lined them up side by side, adjusting the muzzle elevation angle.

Soldiers took a shell from the ammunition rack.

The shell was with the propellant charge. These were pre-measured ammunition data. The shell was placed in the muzzle and pushed to the bottom with a wooden rod. Another soldier took a measuring sight and began to aim. After adjusting, they removed the sight and began to calculate on paper. Once the data was obtained, another soldier took a pull-tube and a long iron needle, pierced the powder bag, then inserted the pull-tube, and hooked the rope to the pull-tube. After completing all this, the soldiers quickly retreated to a safe position.
