41. I want to take the initiative
Sun Fei felt the gaze of everyone on him.
Giving a reassuring smile to the restless soldiers and civilians, he beckoned Brooke and Pierce to the bottom of the city gate, ignoring the warden Oleg who was trying to get his attention in the distance, or the herald Bazel standing not far behind him.
This is an unusually clear signal.
Even a farmer who doesn't know anything can see that the two powerful ministers of Chambord in the past, Bazel and Oleg, are afraid that they will lose their power in front of His Majesty Alexander.
"Brooke, let's talk about the enemy's movements during this time. ”
Sun Fei stood in front of the pheasant moat on the city wall, gently stroked the stones covered with swords, spears and sword marks, looked at the black and oppressed enemies outside the city, and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, during the four hours you have been resting, I don't know why, the enemy has not moved at all, not even a harassing feint, as if waiting for something, but ......" Speaking of this, Brooke stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and then said in a tone full of worry: " They carried the three remaining siege ladders and some other improvised siege equipment onto the stone bridge, and they were well prepared, committing a much larger force than in the previous three or four days, and if they attacked, we would not face an unprecedented threat. ”
Sun Fei followed Brooke's point.
I saw that the formation of the black-clothed armor had changed a lot-
The phalanx of hundreds of people was still at the front of the entire procession, only one step away from the north bank of Chambord City, like a huge black wall guarding the front of the army.
But behind the tower shield phalanx, the enemy's formation changed -
In the early morning, the three phalanxes of javelins, throwing axes, and bows and arrows that followed closely behind the tower shield phalanx had retreated slightly, and some soldiers in black and light armor were waiting there carrying three siege ladders, and further back, there was a huge wooden wall of arrows with green wet wood that was put together when facing four or five sides, and behind the wooden wall, some soldiers who were obviously stronger guarded by six boulder slings more than twenty meters high......
Seeing this, Sun Fei's pupils shrank.
Those six boulder projectiles are definitely siege weapons, and the threat is much higher than that of siege ladders, as long as these six battle array monsters are pushed within two hundred meters below Chambord City, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can definitely be blasted open, and the defense force of less than 1,000 people in the city can be wiped out with only twenty simple throws.
The commander of the enemy army obviously made a bloody investment this time, and was determined to break through the city of Chambord in one go.
"Those anti-arrow walls were improvised and the trunks still had green foliage, but the six boulder projectiles had not been seen in the previous siege, could it be...... The enemy has come with reinforcements again?
Thinking of this, Sun Fei subconsciously licked his lips.
In this case, there is little suspense in this battle, once the enemy attacks, erect those wooden walls under the city to block the not-so-ferocious bow and arrow shooting of Chambord City, and then set up the boulder projectile within range, Chambord City is finished.
This is simply an asymmetrical war.
In addition to the huge disparity in strength, the mysterious coach of the other party was quite exhausted, extremely careful, and pinched the dead hole of Chambord City's insufficient troops, so that Brooke and the others could hardly find any flaws to break this dead end.
Sun Fei looked at the grim situation in front of him and frowned slightly.
Brooke observed Sun Fei's expression beside him, and stopped talking.
"Say whatever you want, the way you snort is not like the style of my future general in Chambord City. Sun Fei noticed Brooke's expression and made a little joke.
Brooke had no choice but to lean into Sun Fei's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty...... Maybe...... Chambord City may not be able to hold it, I am willing to stay and guard the city with the soldiers, delay for a while, or let Lord Lampard and Pierce lead a team of elite soldiers to escort you and Miss Angela from the back city......"
"No way!"
Sun Fei shook his head and interrupted Brooke's suggestion without listening.
He didn't say anything impassioned, but from the way he shook his head slowly, both Brooke and Pierce saw His Majesty Alexander's determination, and they immediately understood that no matter what, the young king would never make any retreat, and such a statement made their hearts excited and relieved, and they were anxious.
"I couldn't wait any longer, so I decided to take the initiative. ”
Sun Fei gently tapped his fingers on the stones of the city wall and said suddenly.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which exploded in the ears of the two of them.
"Take the initiative?"
Brooke and Pierce were shocked, with such a critical situation, such a disparity in the number and quality of troops, what does it mean to take the initiative to attack? It means giving up the geographical advantage of Chambord City, like touching the hard mountain rock with a soft apple cake...... The end can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, this ...... Isn't this too risky?" Brooke was trying to persuade Sun Fei to change his mind.
"There's no time left. ”
Sun Fei shook his head and said in a firm tone: "If my guess is correct, as soon as lunch time passes, the enemy will immediately start attacking the city...... If we want to survive this war, we must take it by surprise and wait, once the enemy takes the initiative to fight, we have only a dead end. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Fei's gaze slowly swept over the two of them.
Looking at the slightly puzzled expressions of the two fierce men, Sun Fei asked in a demagogic tone: "How is it, my warrior, do you have the courage to rush out with me and send all those guts mongrels to the Zuli River to bathe?"
A simple sentence is like asking for a friend's opinion.
But at this moment, Brooke and Pierce only felt that their blood was about to burn.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you. Their voices trembled.
"Okay, I need you two to do a few things now...... Brooke, you tell the soldiers to rest for a while, and remember, just leave a few clever guys to watch the enemy's movements...... Also, as soon as possible, select twenty reliable and faithful strongmen and bring them to me. Pierce, you're going to help me prepare these things......"
Sun Fei whispered a few words in Pierce's ear, and the white-haired macho man turned around and left with doubts.
After doing all this, Sun Fei stood still at the head of the city for a while.
It wasn't until he had carefully sorted out all the things that needed attention for the next upcoming operation that he turned away.
Under the gaze of the soldiers all the way, Sun Fei came to Frank Lampard, the number one master of Chambord City, who was armed with a black giant sword.
"Your Majesty!" Lampard nodded slightly.
The first master, who was extremely indifferent to Alexander at the beginning, was finally willing to put down his posture and take the initiative to speak to Sun Fei at this time.
Sun Fei was secretly happy in his heart.
He knew that his previous series of performances had been recognized by this taciturn 'master brother'. Sun Fei is more or less grateful to this master who has almost single-handedly guarded the peace of Chambord City and the stability of the idiot Alexander's throne in the past few years, and it is said that Lampard is the closest friend of the deceased old king, so for Sun Fei, he can be regarded as an elder.
"Uncle Lampard, Alexander has something he wants to ask you for. Sun Fei said very politely.
Lampard looked at Sun Fei, then turned to look at the enemy outside the city who were entrenched on the stone bridge like a black torrent, and was silent for a moment before asking: "Do you want me to help you destroy those boulder projectiles......?"
"Sabotage the Boulder Projectile?"
Sun Fei was stunned, understood Lampard's thoughts, and immediately shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Lampard, what I want to ask you for is not this...... Well, that's right, I'm going to go out of the city for a while and take the initiative to fight back, so I hope you can stay in the city to stabilize the situation here for me, and if I unfortunately die in battle, I hope you can help me take care of Angela and protect her and Himma from here safely. ”
