On the beach in the distance, the troops from Grey Mist City had begun to assemble, and in the neat queue, the various arms were reasonably distributed, and there was even a cavalry team of 100 people on the side, surrounded by what seemed to be the commander of this unit, who was also observing Cape Mountain.

The large trebuchet specially responsible for the siege has also been pushed by dozens of strong infantry, and the huge wheels crush the planks that have been laid prematurely, slowly moving forward, waiting for a distance of about two hundred meters, it will really begin to be erected, and become a terrifying weapon to attack the city wall, at least in their eyes, no one can resist the huge stone balls thrown by the trebuchet.

About a thousand heavy infantry wearing chain mail and armed with swords and shields also followed closely behind the trebuchet, and their heavy footsteps were also lined up in a dense formation as they walked, they were excellent soldiers from the inner and outer cities, and they were also the main force of the regular army in Gray Mist City.

At the outermost edge of the queue, more than 800 archers armed with war bows and wearing iron armor also formed a phalanx, looking at the neat low city wall at the foot of the Cape Mountain in the distance, and they were all whispering to each other.

Because when they came, they got the news that this Cape Town was nothing more than a simple village, not to mention the stone walls that they knew were well-built and neat now, and in their impressions, how could an abandoned town that had only been developed for less than half a year have such excellent fortifications?

Even when Cape Town was still under the rule of Grey Mist City, it was just a simple wooden fence as a fence against wild beasts, and they couldn't imagine whether the small city with complete walls that appeared in front of them was the Cape Town that had been rumored to have given up, leaving only beasts and weeds!

This is really a fantasy, even the aristocratic general, who is the commander-in-chief, can't help but widen his eyes.

At that time, he received the news that Cape Town was just a few simple fortifications made of logs, but now he couldn't help but grit his teeth when he looked at the stone walls that were obviously similar to the walls of the inner city.

If it weren't for his careful consideration, but also in order to publicize the military strength of the Governor in front of many aristocratic representatives, he brought over a dozen large trebuchets, and it is estimated that the walls of Cape Town, which no longer know how to appear, will be piled up in the name of people.

The force of more than 2,000 people is already more than half of the regular army that Gray Mist City can dispatch, except for the one that was dispatched during the battle with the fleet in the South Trumming Sea decades ago, and only now in order to stabilize the situation on the entire Great Silver Pan Island, it has been dispatched again.

Although this aristocratic general, as the commander-in-chief, was confident that he could defeat the town of Cape, an impeccable epic victory, and a tragic victory in a siege battle heaped with human lives, belonged to two completely different effects, especially in front of this group of aristocratic representatives who had just chosen to surrender, he needed to ensure that the outcome of this battle was a decisive victory!

Let the authority of the Governor continue to be displayed in the hearts of these nobles, and let them continue to maintain the deepest reverence and etiquette towards the Governor as before, which is the goal of victory in this battle.

As for Levi, the lucky little merchant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a bit of ridicule also appeared in his eyes, a guy who couldn't tell the situation, and was so close to the rebel viscount, through the Gray Mist City given by the Governor, when he chose to be hostile, in his eyes, this little merchant already represented death.

………………

"It's a show of your muscles."

Li Wei was on the hill of Haijiao Mountain, looking at the army troops that were slowly approaching this side, the corners of his mouth slightly smiled, and said lightly: "They seem to have eaten us." ”

Just got off the transport ship, didn't even trim it, and directly entered the siege mode, if it wasn't for the commander being too stupid, then it was absolute confidence in himself, of course, considering the asymmetry of intelligence and information on both sides, you can also know that the troops of the gray fog city belong to the latter.

But their self-confidence is only arrogance, for Levi this is simply ridiculous, the dense medieval queue, the ancient trebuchet, these troops of Grey Mist City, are still using medieval siege methods to attack Cape Town!

"Wilmot, get closer and fight."

The solemnity in his heart had turned into a lightheart, and Levi looked at the Gray Mist City troops who were still pushing the heavy trebuchet with difficulty, paving the wooden planks as a road, and also turned his head to the Minister of War Wilmot next to him and said, "I don't want to expose my strength too early and let our friends flee back in embarrassment." ”

"They can't run." Wilmot also nodded slightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to greet the town militia who was the herald next to him, and quickly passed a few orders.

At the foot of the hill to the south of Cape Mountain, on the wall of the primary fortifications, eight ready-to-use 7-pounder guns slowly retreated, while the town militiamen who were lying behind the breastwork on the wall, with flintlock pistols, were also carefully curled up behind the thick walls, dodging the possible attack that might follow.

Among the troops of Grey Mist City, the effective range of large trebuchets is 200 meters, and the effective range of archers with high-pound warbows is only about 100 meters, so as long as they carefully lean against the breastwork, there is basically no danger.

What's more, there is a makeshift wooden shed overhead, although it can't prevent the heavy stones thrown by the trebuchet, but it prevents the archers from firing volleys, and the effect is quite significant.

At the gates on both sides, the heavy 24-pounder light cannons, which were also pushed and dragged by six or seven town militiamen, moved towards the southern city wall, pushing the two heavy wooden wheels of the gun carriage vigorously, and also using the fastest speed so that the cannon of the largest caliber at present could go to the southern city wall to coordinate the defense.

If there is no accident, the direction of the attack of Grey Mist City is mainly the city wall under Cape Mountain, which is the closest direction to the group of Gray Mist City troops, and after capturing this city wall, seizing the commanding heights of Cape Mountain, you can also see the deployment of the entire Cape Town.

Just like now Levi and Wilmott, as well as Green, are standing at the top of the hill, watching the dense ants at the bottom, and can command the battle in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, relying on the city walls, we don't have much of a problem."

Wilmot saw that a large number of town militias had also gathered here, and his face was a little lighter, but he subconsciously glanced at the sea on the left side, and among the waves of the waves, more than forty huge ocean-going warships also made him can't help but speak: "On the contrary, the fleet commanded by Mr. Hall looks a little dangerous." ”

Thirty-two ocean-going warships, which were not much smaller than the galleons of Galen, and eleven slightly smaller transport warships, already had an absolute advantage in numbers.

The fleet commanded by Admiral Hall was only one galleon, five sloops, two heavy galleons, and six light galleons, adding up to eighteen ships, compared to the number of more than forty warships, it was simply suppressed to the worst disadvantage.

Although modern ships are equipped with artillery, they still cannot be underestimated in the face of large medieval warships, after all, it is not easy for artillery to sink a wooden ship floating on the sea.

Once it is involved and the two sides have a hand-to-hand fight, then Levi's gunboat is equivalent to giving up its most advantageous artillery fire, and going to the gang-jumping hand-to-hand combat that is almost not much worse than the other party, and using the lives of the crew to decide who wins and who loses the two ships, which is simply stupid!

If that's the case, it's better for Levi to directly let his fleet block the passage of the port outside Grey Mist City!

Of course, it's not that Levi's fleet can't directly blockade Grey Mist City, with the current gunboats such as Galen galleons and sloops, the instantaneous firepower is enough to destroy any warship, blocking this feudal fleet in the harbor.

However, Levi has no further ability, the ability to destroy all the ports of Grey Mist City, he lacks the support of the army, and the mage tower in Grey Mist City is still a key factor for Levi to be wary of, rashly commanding the fleet to blockade the port, except for being the first to expose his strength, there is no benefit.

After all, this is a world with mysterious magic, even if there is a rift in the Gray Mist City through the secret plot of Moulton, a rebellious viscount, there is a rift among the noble class, it does not mean that he can expand this rift.

Morton has failed, and the nobles who once completely defected to the rebellious viscount will also be purged, and even if the remaining nobles can protect themselves, they will not dare to have any more thoughts in a short period of time, and the entire Gray Mist City will be transformed into a whole, with the governor as the center, and the huge force that is fierce on the surface!

And what Levi needs to do now is to respond to the enemy in a dignified manner, and let the nobles in Gray Mist City see what it is, what is called strength, and who it is, in a head-to-head battle, defeat them!

Levi wants them to lose convincingly!
