Compared with the Caledonian army, the Capetian army, which was mainly composed of nobles and serfs, was really not excellent, but although it was a little slow, the main force still set out from the city, and did not encounter the 200,000 Nanjing defenders who did not dare to go out in the face of dozens of Japanese soldiers like the Ming Dynasty.

To put it simply, although the combat effectiveness is not guaranteed, because it is considered to be defending the hometown, the morale is still worthy of a battle.

Of course, the poor reputation of the Galedonians in Oggenia is also one of the important reasons. Before the current royal family Encorian family came to Galedonia, it was a bag that anyone could go up and kick, and because of its remote location, it was often considered a wild place far from the glory of the Lord - even after so many years of fighting with the Galedonians, the inherent thinking in the hearts of Capetian people still did not change - don't forget, the Encorry family is a vassal of the Capetian royal family, and their territory in Capet is even larger than the whole of Caledonia.

If it weren't for the large number of Galledonian-speaking islander longbowmen used by the Encorry, the war would have been a civil war for anyone. However, it is precisely because the Encorian family is now more dependent on its Galledonian territory that it has created a feeling that the Capetian family is just a foreigner - in fact, many of the previous Caledonian kings lived in Capetian and could not even speak Galedonian.

But with this impression already in place, it is too late for the Encore family to change this, even if they have the heart to change it.

Because Sinampei's current title is the king's artillery adviser - in fact, the supreme commander of the artillery, he has always followed the king's side. If Sinampei wore to the industrial age and mixed up with such a position, he would probably be happy to death. But it is a pity that in the current war, the cannon is still only a toy for the enemy to listen to, except for the large artillery, the direct power of other artillery is really worrying - this is why King Sinan Peijian yì simply abandoned the six-pounder cannon and directly cast the three-pounder gun with the same caliber as the Caledonian use, and attached importance to the mobility of the artillery. If this world wants to progress to the era when artillery plays the leading role like the emperor on the earth, it will take at least 400 years.

In this position, there are not even a few big nobles who come to fight with him, and his direct subordinates only have a few students who came to fight with him and dozens of cannons mixed with the old and the new. At present, they are the only ones in the king's army, who not only know trigonometric functions, but also know how to apply them to artillery - not to mention civilians in the Capetian Kingdom, even if it is the education process of the nobles, Sinampei can't help but grin. In his opinion, the University of Pali can almost be called the decisive pillar of Capet's progress in the future.

The march was very boring, especially in this snowy season, the roads were bare on both sides, and there was no scenery to see, and the weather was really cold, so Sinampe simply stayed in his carriage, and even did not bother to visit the grandeur of Capet's army - don't forget, Sinampei didn't know how to ride a horse yet.

But he was not too bored, except that the king did not know why, and called him over from time to time to talk a few words, Count Flysois, who was an old acquaintance of Billancourt, often came to chat when he had nothing to do, and then asked Sinampe to brag about how advanced the technology of his hometown was.

Such peaceful days lasted until Sinampei saw the fortress of Agincourt.

Then, his nightmare came.

The mercenaries of Jenova had arrived early yesterday because they had set out early, and seeing that the Capetian reinforcements had arrived, the Galledonians quickly withdrew from the few positions they were fighting for, and returned to the heights they had just captured to the north of the fortress of Agincourt. Originally, it was a place with the Agincourt fortress and the terrain was excellent, but in order to save the manpower on hand, the former commander-in-chief of the Capetes, Crown Prince Huge, abandoned them.

He had made a wise decision, and if he hadn't wisely reduced his forces and gathered all his troops in one place, the fortress of Agincourt would have been lost to the onslaught of the Galedonians. But now, his decision has also given the Galedonians a decent defensive position.

However, no one in the current Capet army cares about this. They had an absolute superiority in numbers -- in addition to the 5,000 Jenova mercenaries, the 30,000 aristocratic army gathered in Pali, and almost all of them were light and heavy cavalry, there were actually more than 20,000 so-called "commune conscripts" -- to put it bluntly, they were actually serfs, so their combat effectiveness was not seen by both the enemy and us. But in any case, the sheer superiority in numbers still makes all the Capetians confident.

You know, there are only about 20,000 Galedonians on the other side!

More than 20,000 people, is it enough for their own cavalry to stuff their teeth? Many nobles thought silently.

The temporary retreat of the Caledonians cheered the defenders of the fortress, who had been nervous for days, and the crown prince Hugue himself went out of the city to welcome his father.

Seeing his son waiting outside the city, the king in a red robe dismounted in a dashing manner, and walked up to him and gave him a warm hug: "You are doing a good job, Huge. ”

"Thank you for your compliment, my beloved father. But I don't think I'm good enough. At the moment, the shape shì is not optimistic. Compared with the king's atmosphere, Huge's brows furrowed slightly, obviously looking a little cramped, "Actually, those Galedonians are very strong in combat. ”

"Let's go in and talk about it. The king turned back and instructed his attendants, "Gather all of you, and we need to discuss our plan for tomorrow's battle." Oh, by the way, just call Si Nanpei to me. ”

All the people he refers to are naturally the nobles who sent troops, and he has not forgotten Si Nanpei.

If Si Nanpei heard this, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh? However, some people who are aspiring to climb up will be happy when they hear this sentence. I don't dare to say anything, this is also Jane in the emperor's heart, isn't it? Although it has not been reused, it has finally been remembered by the king.

So Sinampei, who was still yawning, was called to the conference room of the fortress by the attendant in charge of summoning - because of his lack of reputation, he was naturally assigned a place quite backward. But with his different face from the Capetian people, Sinampei still got a position that was barely reasonable compared to the small nobles.
