Chapter 31: God Will Help Us
As a modern man who has penetrated into the Middle Ages, he may lack the necessary skills, or he may not have a solid foundation, but as long as he hugs his thighs and has sufficient resources, then the knowledge in his mind will become a subversive force.
This is the case at the moment, even if there is no bronze to cast cannons, Sinampei can use the wrought iron stored in the city to have an impact on the current siege battle, not only the troll-like three-eyed guns, but even grenades and pine cannons and other things were later issued to the defenders.
No matter how powerful the Caledonian firepower was, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through the walls of Pali with the technical level of this era alone - just like the legend, the walls of Pali were unexpectedly strong, and in the eyes of the aborigines, this was a blessing from God, but Sinampe wondered if volcanic rock was used in the construction of the city.
Of course, this subject is a bit far away from what Sinampei has learned, and he doesn't have time to delve into this all day in the weapons workshop or university, as long as he knows now, this is in his favor.
Originally, it was impossible to win by defense alone, but with several fierce offensive and defensive battles at the head of the city, the Pali defenders held earthen firearms produced by small workshops at most, and actually played a very beautiful casualty exchange ratio, which reflected in the next battle, it became the obvious lack of follow-up and low morale of the Caledonian army, on the contrary, the soldiers and civilians in Pali City saw the hope of defeating the foreign enemy.
Intentionally or unintentionally spread by the students of Pali University, Sinampei, a foreigner, was gradually treated as a hero - just like Crown Prince Huge who fought in the city. More and more people from Pali University who have received basic science education have also come to Sinampei's command and devoted themselves to the wave of hard research to resist aggression.
Theresa was by his side all day, sometimes carrying him water on his back, and sometimes sitting beside him with a smirk.
Until the evening.
This qiē made Hillmelia unbelievable, until one day, at the bedside, she couldn't help but ask her best friend: "Theresa, this is not like you, how are you similar to a silly woman who fell in love?"
"What's the matter, I just think...... That clumsy guy is finally a little manly, don't you feel that he has a different kind of charm in looking down to sketch the blueprints and working hard in the workshop?" Theresa shook her white thighs lightly, "It's different from the bloody knight and the little white face that pretends to be weak." ”
"Then your taste is really unique enough, and you won't come to me for a while. Shirmel pouted, "Looks like you've abandoned me completely." ”
"Why, I'm not here to accompany you......" Theresa blushed and shook her head, "Haven't you been refining potions lately, and besides, Si He works so hard and needs someone to take care of him." ”
"Then let Kara do it. Shirmel fiddled with her fingers, "I think you're really hooked on that stranger." ”
"Oh, you've said this kind of thing a few times, I said that I didn't fall in love with him, I just didn't fall in love with him, and just because he's obsessed with me doesn't mean I'm also obsessed with him. Theresa replied fluently like tongue twisters, and Hillelia covered her head for a long time before she understood what Theresa meant.
"But I always had the feeling that Christina, the witch who looked like you, liked him too, or I couldn't understand why the Galledonians insisted on not killing him. "Sylmeria is in her head," said some of the captives who had escaped, and Si and the Edward seemed to be in a very unpleasant situation. ”
"Ahh ”
"Why?" asked Shirmel curiously.
"Because...... It's a woman's instinct!" replied Theresa with a grin.
Hillelia was quite dissatisfied: "What is this......"
As they spoke, a large boulder flew from outside the city into the river inside the city, but it didn't make a splash. And these munitions that occasionally flew into the city, they had long been familiar with them, or rather, they were used to them, and they did not panic in the slightest - just like the Japanese face an earthquake.
However, they also did not notice that it had not rained in a long time since the beginning of the Siege of Pali, which did not bode well for Capet, which had been rainy all year round......
In the tent of the military camp in Caledonia, the candles flickered, and Edward and Christina were drinking each other.
Edward shook the goblet in his hand slightly, admiring Christina's beautiful silhouette through the rosy liquid, while Christina held the glass blankly, neither drinking nor touching the steak on the table.
"You're beautiful today. Perhaps after a little drinking, Edward spoke surprisingly boldly.
"Thank you. Christina was expressionless, but nodded, taking Edward's compliment. But in fact, she didn't dress up extra today, as usual, just wore her usual white robe.
Edward didn't continue to speak, just stared at Christina quietly.
The strange silence lasted until it was interrupted by a tall woman who had accidentally broken into the camp.
She threw the longbow in her hand to the ground and angrily scolded Edward: "Brother, now that the Pali people have come up with more and more messy weapons, and we have a large number of soldiers killed every moment, we will not be able to win this battle if this continues!
Christina frowned, didn't say anything, just picked up the glass and took a sip gently.
Edward grinned and said to the woman who entered, "Don't worry, Evena, at least so far, you have all the time - the witch in your mouth, but you have foreseen this." ”
"What's the use of foreseeing, what's the use of foreseeing!Hmph, knowing the strangeness of that foreign scholar, and letting him flee back to the city of Pali, I think this Christina is stupid enough!" the woman named Ivina said unceremoniously.
"It was indeed my mistake to let the soldiers of Caledonia inflict such heavy casualties. Christina sighed and said, "But rest assured, Your Highness Princess, God will help us agree to this battle, I promise." ”
