It was said that it was a military meeting, but the venue was still noisy, and many nobles who did not have a clear affiliation vied with each other to state their opinions, making it seem more lively than a vegetable market.

Although in this year, the personal force of the nobles has been fairly good, but their military strategic vision is far worse than that of some educated guys - these educated people, Sinan Pei is barely one, and a few excellent nobles are also counted, but the most capable ones are the king's father and son.

In addition, those nobles each had their own little calculations, so the opinions they put forward were really stinky, which made Si Nanpei want to laugh when he heard it.

As the ruler of a huge kingdom, the king was still calm and silent in the face of such a scene, but the crown prince Yu Ge was obviously a little less popular, and the city government had not yet cultivated at home. After hearing enough of those ridiculous words, his forehead flared up, and he wanted to stand up and lift the table, but was stopped by the king.

After a while, when the nobles quarreled with each other, and were about to be cut off, the king coughed a few times, and settled the quarrel by virtue of his authority.

He slowly glanced at the nobles attending the meeting, and said in a deep voice: "Today I only called you, not those Jenova mercenaries, I thought you would understand. ”

He didn't say his thoughts directly, but naturally someone slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, and then began to explain to his familiar comrades: "Your Majesty, I want those guys to take the lead as cannon fodder and test the depth of the Caledonians." ”

The king struck the nobles seven inches at once. It is precisely because the Capetians are outnumbered and the Caledonians are at a disadvantage that no nobles are willing to take the lead and let others take advantage of them—in fact, most of the nobles have been arguing about this kind of issue. Perhaps he was good at military affairs, but the inexperienced Yuge didn't notice this, but the king already knew this qiē by heart.

"Judging by previous encounters between the defenders and the Caledonians, they were mostly infantry, and were generally armed with purple-shirted longbows. It's just right for those Jenova Crossbowmen to test the waters. Before he knew it, the king had changed to a commanding tone, "Let the infantry go up in the second wave." If those Jenovas can tear through the Galedonian formation, it is good, if they can't, let those infantry consume the arrows and energy of the opposing side. ”

Then the hoplites charged, and the light cavalry only had to cover the flanks and take advantage of the situation when the Caledonians were scattered. The king rubbed his forehead, "Do you have any opinions?"

In his youth, King Henry was known as the "Knight King", and his prowess was not praised by anyone, even his enemies. Coupled with the authority of its king, even if someone has an opinion, it will definitely be swallowed alive. What's more, the king's instructions looked so wise that almost no one, except for the hapless mercenaries and serfs, would "steal the credit", and no one would suffer any real losses.

In fact, they only regarded the peasants as consumables, and they did not bother to care about the vassals as long as their loyal vassals were not killed or injured...... of vassals.

But a few nobles frowned, including Crown Prince Huge, but they didn't say a word in the end.

"That ......" Si Nanpei raised his hand weakly in the back row, "Your Majesty, I feel that before the decisive battle begins, I can use artillery to start bombarding the enemy's formation." ”

He was a little tired of the casualties that the Jenova mercenaries and militia might suffer, and he also had military common sense - as we all know, in the age of cold weapons, infantry wanted to confront cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, and a neat formation was the most important thing. If the formation is broken up, then the poor infantry will have no power to fight back, and even unable to escape, if there is no cavalry cover, then the victor will be able to defeat the battle into a war of annihilation - in fact, the Song Dynasty, which lacks horses, is also lost in this place, even if the victory rate is high, but once defeated, then the whole army will be wiped out, while the nomads on horseback can come and go freely, even if the loss is not fatal.

Therefore, his opinion was to use excellent firepower to concentrate on bombarding the weak points of the Galedonians, and then tear a hole with cavalry, and then the Galledonians, who were mainly infantry, would have to be slaughtered by the Capets. Although the artillery is not capable of inflicting mass damage on the enemy at this stage, it is more than enough to destroy the formation, and the performance of his own artillery is indeed advanced, coupled with his flexible artillery carriages and commanders who have been professionally trained in mathematics, Sinampei is very confident in his proposal.

The king was obviously a little surprised, he stared at Sinampei for a long time, and when he saw that the poor traverser was about to get goosebumps all over his body, he withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "No, just do as I say." Division, you'd better put all the artillery on the walls of the fortress. ”

“...... Yes, 陛xià. Hearing the king's words, Sinampei had an ominous premonition.

However, although the king rejected Sinampei's suggestion, his tone was surprisingly soft. Crown Prince Yuge also cast a glance at Sinampei, and smiled at him kindly: "Oh, you are the foreign nobleman that Trisha said in her heart, the best scholar in the world, right? ”

Si Nanpei didn't expect that Theresa's evaluation of herself would be so high. Although this sentence is a fact in a certain way, Sinan Pei is still a little embarrassed: "You have won the prize, Your Highness." In fact, I am not very outstanding in my hometown, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a defeated dog. ”

"If it weren't for Theresa's letter to know of such a humble tradition in your native land, I would have doubted your character. Yu Ge hugged his chest and shook his head with a smile, "When this war is over, please come to the banquet I hosted." ”

"As you wish, Your Highness. Sinampei bent down and saluted back.

In the following specific arrangements, Yuge and Sinampei were assigned by the king to stay in the fortress. Yu Ge looked slightly dissatisfied, but nodded his head in response—the seven thousand men under his command had been exhausted physically and mentally after many days of hard fighting, and it was indeed time to rest.

Si Nanpei, on the other hand, was slightly disappointed at the same time, but also breathed a long sigh of relief -- to be honest, who would want to go to that kind of bloody battlefield? Even if you are a great man, a cold arrow may kill you! He was a little glad that his construction was not adopted. After all, as an artillery advisor, he is a bound item for those dozens of old and new guns......
