No matter how much the self-proclaimed name Christina had brought to Sinampe's psyche, he couldn't afford to be distracted at the moment, because the black pressure of the Caledonian army had already launched an assault on the fortress.

No matter how strong the king's army was, it had only 3,000 men, and had no chance of winning in the face of a vast enemy army -- in fact, in the battle just now, the Caledonian army had suffered less than a thousand casualties! It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were still at the peak of their fighting power.

Because in the current situation, the defenders in the city had no chance to open the city gate to receive the king into the city, so the king did not choose to hardtop in front of the fortress, but chose to slowly retreat from the side of the fortress while completing the so-called mission of the palace.

The Galedonians did not choose to hunt down the king, a big fish - their intelligence systems may not have realized that this elite Capetian army was led by the king - but chose the original goal of the war, to capture the fortress of Agincourt and capture the support point for the assault on the city of Pali.

"Mr. Si, our position has been exposed, I am afraid that the witch was leading the Galedonian artillery to attack us just now. While directing the deployment of the city wall, Yu Ge built a yì to Sinan Pei, "I think we should move immediately and change places......"

"No, I'll just stay here and direct the artillery counterattack. Sinampei looked at the observation post that was almost smashed into powder by the Andrino cannon, gritted his teeth and rejected Huge's kindness, "There is no better observation position in the entire Agincourt fortress than here, unless I can fly into the sky, I must stay here and command the artillery counterattack." To be honest, the power of the other party's cannon was much greater than I expected, and an ancient fortress like Agincourt Fortress could not withstand such a bombardment. If we can't suppress the enemy's artillery, then even if the king gathers the remnants of the defeated army, we will still be able to be crushed and beaten. ”

The role of artillery is not only to destroy the fortress, but more importantly, it is to deal a blow to the morale of the defenders in the fortress, which is also quite deadly in this era.

chose to stay here, not because Sinan Pei is not afraid of death, on the contrary, Si Nanpei is well aware of the truth of leaving him to die and then be born. He knew that if he couldn't defeat the opponent's cannon, he would die in this battle.

"Your Highness, as the supreme commander here, you can leave, but I can't leave. Sinampei made a final summary.

Yu Ge didn't say anything more about his mother-in-law, but nodded in agreement with Sinan Pei's decision: "Then you be careful, if you can rely on your invention to defeat the opponent's giant cannon, it's good, if you don't get the expected effect, don't be reluctant." I hope you'll come back alive, I don't want to see Theresa teary-eyed when I get back to Pali. ”

"Am I so important to the Duchess? If I do survive with your good words, I wish I could invite her to a dance when the time comes. In order to release the pressure in his heart, Sinampei actually laughed - even he himself felt a little incredible.

"I think she's going to be happy. Yu Ge smiled slightly, beckoned his own soldiers, and quickly left the place.

"Tongwens, bring me a nine-pounder cannon!" Taking a deep breath, Sinampei calmed down and began to face the most severe test he had ever experienced in his life - it was even more dangerous than the time he was a prisoner of Angus, after all, the human heart can be measured, but stray bullets and stray arrows cannot be guessed.

"Yes, Mr. Si!" Tang Wens wiped the dust from his face and began to beckon a few of the infantry defending the city, and together they moved the cannon that had been intended to be placed in another place in front of Sinampei.

"Hmph, do you think the outer diameter is great?" Si Nanpei was ruthless, "I'll show you what the power of science is today!"

At the same time as Sinan Pei roared, another granite cannonball fell, straight over Si Nanpei's head, and smashed into the inside of the fortress.

Everyone had the expression of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe - including Sinan Pei himself, who was still extremely arrogant just now. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and straightened his mind again.

"Townvis, do you notice where the cannonballs are coming from?" After scanning the Galledonian position with a telescope, Sinampe did not find the location of the cannon.

"It's coming from a direction about forty-five degrees west-north, Mr. Si. Trying to recall the scene just now, Tomvance said with some uncertainty.

Sinan Pei looked in the northwest direction and fell into deep thought-there was a forest in that direction, like a bulky cannon or something, if it was to be transported in, it would be impossible not to produce some clues, but now, Si Nanpei could not see any possible signs from the telescope. Let's not talk about whether the Galedonians really set up their artillery positions there, and even if they were, Sinampe could not guarantee that he could use artillery to knock out the opponent's artillery positions - the artillery performance of this era was inherently unreliable, and coupled with the concealment of the other side, it was almost a fool's dream to counter the other side.

After running over to look at the crater caused by the opponent's giant cannon, Sinan Pei made a decision: "Tang Wens, fill in the gunpowder package for the three-pounder cannon, and let's set fire to the forest." Don't worry about exploding, you can stuff as much as you can!"

The artillery shells of this era were not standard shells like those of the industrial age, but all sorts of things that could shoot out - granite, iron sand, gunpowder, almost anything.

"Mr. Si, is this reliable?" Tang Wens shook his head, "If you force those things into it, the range and accuracy will not be up to the standard." ”

Sinampei thought in his heart that King Henry looked at the world at the meeting, clenched his fists and gave an arbitrary order: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can make the artillery on the opposite side dumb, I don't see that without artillery, what will they do to break through the fortress." ”

As Si Nanpei expected, there was no accurate number of the landing points of those gunpowder packets, and there were all kinds of landings, but the range of the nine-pounder cannon, coupled with the height advantage at the head of the fortress, still made the gunpowder bags fall into the suspicious forest.

The fire began to spread through the forest, and after three more rounds of fire from the Caledonian cannons, it seemed that the fire had reached them, so they were completely dumb - although they did not know how to leave no trace, the Caledonian did place their artillery positions in the forest.

The corners of Si Nanpei's mouth showed a slight smile, after all, he is still a modern person, in terms of means, how could he lose to these reckless men in the Middle Ages!

But in the next second, a knight of Caledonia who looked at death as if he was at home, carrying something on his back, rushed towards the section of the city wall where Sinampe was......
