Chapter 221: Speculation (Part 3)

Parma raised her head when she heard this, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, I don't have any good ideas about it, I just think it's a little unusual. ”

"Oh?" Eugen looked at Parma with interest and hurriedly asked, "What's out of the ordinary?" You name it. ”

"That's right...... I think there's something wrong with the other side's fighting style. Parma looked at the vacancy in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and said intently: "I also have some understanding of that Viscount Tariq before, and with his combat style, it shouldn't be like this." ”

"The reason why Viscount Tariq is known as the Wolf Lord is because his attacks have always been simple and direct, he is good at destroying the opponent with a fierce onslaught that is not afraid of death, and he likes to fight the enemy head-on the most, and rarely uses some intrigues."

"That's right!" Hearing Parma's words, Alan also screamed and said, "I've heard of Tariq, and it is impossible for him to use insidious harassment tactics like yesterday. If it was Tariq, it is estimated that on the first day he put the siege ladder on our walls. ”

Hearing this, Eugen also realized the problem: "You mean that the commander of those Saxon soldiers on the other side is not Tariq at all, but someone else?" ”

Parma nodded, and said with great certainty: "Well, my judgment is absolutely correct, and as far as I know, Tariq is presiding over the attack against Viscount Pigarde these days, and we have nothing to fear in his eyes, and there is no reason for him to come and attack us personally." ”

With this analysis, Eugen's thinking suddenly opened, and it was because they misjudged the enemy's attack style because they misjudged the enemy's attack style because they misjudged the enemy's general.

"If that is to be said, our immediate priority is to determine the identity of the enemy general, as well as his command style, so that we can make targeted countermeasures."

At this time, Eugen also remembered a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. At this moment, he was on the battlefield and realized how important this sentence was.

Allen turned his head to look at the direction of the city gate, and his tone was a little solemn: "The other party harassed all night yesterday, and today it will inevitably attack in a big way, and when we go to the city wall, we may be able to see who the other party's general is." ”

Eugen nodded, and walked forward first, but Parma hurriedly stopped Eugen and said: "Lord Eugen, the battlefield is dangerous, you are our lord, it is better not to go up the city wall, let us check it out, and report to you when we come back." ”

Parma was worried about Eugen's safety and didn't want Eugen to go to the front, and Eugen was also afraid of death, but at this time he felt that he couldn't back down as a lord, so he said majestically: "How can this be done, I am the lord of Lybor City, no matter what, I should stand in a place where all the warriors can see." ”

However, Parma still stood firmly in front of Eugen, and Alan stepped forward in time and said, "Your Excellency Mayor has a point, Lord Eugen, Princess Maria and Miss Margaret are busy with the production of muskets these days, and you should also go and see them." ”

Eugen thought about it, but he didn't insist, indeed, the production of new muskets is the top priority for them at the moment, and as for the forward position, as long as the walls do not fall, the problem is not too big.

"Well, okay, then I'll go and see them, and I'll leave it to you on the other side of the wall, so don't have any problems."

"Don't worry, Lord Eugen." The two said in unison that although their forces were at a disadvantage, with the help of geographical advantages, it was not too much of a problem to defend.

Seeing this, Eugen no longer insisted, he should indeed go to the steel mill to check the situation, and at the same time can also think of some improvements.

The First Iron and Steel Plant is still in its earliest stages, and in the future, according to Eugen's plan, this steel plant will have the capacity to produce machine guns, artillery, and even armored vehicles, and in order to achieve these goals, he will have to plan carefully.

When Palma and Allen saw Eugen leave, they smiled at each other and walked together towards the wall.

The two belong to different systems and have the same ranks, but in terms of power, Parma is slightly more than Alan.

However, Parma did not let this discourage him, on the contrary, he had great respect for Captain Allen, who was older than him, and often addressed him with honorifics.

Alan also admired this clever young man very much, and the two quickly established a good friendship, and the cooperation between them was tacit.

The city guard and the city government are very close to each other, and they have a good relationship, which is naturally very beneficial for the city of Leber, and Eugen is happy to see this situation.

Arriving at the city walls, the Saxon soldiers did begin to advance towards the new town, but they did not carry any siege equipment.

As the battle began for some time, Alan saw that this was a tentative attack in order to find out where the defenses of Liber City were weak.

In winter, the moat was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the Saxon soldiers could walk directly under the walls, but they had little way to attack the ten meters high.

From time to time, the archers and muskets of the guards on the city walls attacked, and the Saxon muskets returned fire, with casualties on both sides, but the Saxon archers were not seen.

The Long Xiang army did not fight, and Eugen had already decided to hide the Long Xiang army first, so he could only make a sudden attack at the critical moment and catch the opponent off guard.

This kind of lukewarm battle situation is the most patient-consuming, compared to the long-lasting combat ability of both sides, the city guard team because they did not rest well last night, there are some deficiencies in this regard, but fortunately, the condescending terrain makes up for this.

Over the course of the day, the Saxon Legion launched several more attacks, each time with a drop in the water, as if determined to carry out the harassment tactics to the end.

In the end, after each side paid the price of a dozen people, the battle ended today, and Alan and Palma stayed on the city wall all day without seeing the other general's appearance.

"Heh, this coward, it's disgusting like a mouse." After waiting for a day, Alan said angrily.

Parma's face was not very good-looking, but he still did not complain after all, but said: "Okay, go and arrange the defense work at night, if nothing else, the other party will definitely harass and attack us like yesterday." ”

Alan agreed, and walked towards the garrison barracks, while Parma walked down the wall, ready to report to Eugen on the day's battle.

When Parma arrived at Eugen's residence, Eugen was lying on a large piece of white paper, drawing something on it with a pen.
