Chapter 30: New Weapons of Murder......

King Henry's face was ugly, not only because Theresa had risked her life to sneak out of the city to save a foreign boy, but also because the Boulogne had used a trebuchet to bring him the last thing he wanted.

After arranging the details of the defense of the city, he remained alone in the conference room, clenched his fists tightly, looking at the portrait of the Duke of Bois de Boulogne in his youth hanging on the wall, muttering something in a low voice. But it was clear that his angry scolding had little effect. As a young man who had grown up in Pali City, he knew Philip's temper too well, and since he had received such a reply, he was ready for the worst.

He knew very well in his heart that according to the current situation, Pali City would not be able to hold it anyway. Then the plan of relying on the counteroffensive of the southern territory has become a choice that has to be made at present.

But there's another question: "How many days can Pali stay?"

According to common belief, there were 30,000 defenders in Pali, but most of them were not native to Pali - the king could not afford to raise such a standing army in his own domain, and these people were even more permanent than the permanent inhabitants of the city. In addition, in the past two years, I have not been able to store food properly, so I just need to surround it well. With its current food reserves, Pali City can't even hold on for two years—a time that's not long in this era.

However, at present, the Caledonian army has chosen to attack fiercely. And they vacated the south side, as if to let the defenders go.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and King Henry's heart is very transparent.

He felt that relying on the support of the Boulogne, the logistics of Caledonia must be no problem, so they were worried that something would happen later, so they chose to storm? Henry felt that it was not like it, the current king of Caledonia was regent by Edward because he was mentally ill, and it seemed that it was easy to have problems, but Edward's only brother was a waste, and the nobles in Caledonia were not strong......

But for what? King Henry racked his brains in the palace and left it alone, while the defenders fought the walls.

The defenders of Pali City are not like the king, in the face of the possibility of death at any time, they can no longer think about the tricks of the Galledonians outside, and the intensity of the siege is now beyond everyone's expectations. The will to fight of the defenders in the field was not too high, and after a series of defeats, its combat effectiveness was certainly not comparable to that of the Galedonian army.

After half a month of fierce battles for the city's head, the defensive line on the city wall has even shown signs of collapse. There are already middle-level commanders in Caledonia, all of whom have already personally arrived in the city.

"Christina, your old saying 'three is missing one' is really good. It seems that it won't take your strategy to take effect, and the city of Pali will be conquered. Edward put down his binoculars and said.

"No, please don't forget, that magical stranger is in the city, and he will have a way to change the current situation. Christina snorted, "I've done this to you countless times, and that stranger is definitely number one...... Oh my God! What are they, shotguns? Look, I mean, if you drag it any longer, maybe you're going to be defeated by that stranger - just by his own knowledge. ”

Edward picked up his binoculars again and looked at the city, which had just shown signs of breaking through—in just a few minutes, the tide of battle had turned markedly, and the screaming Galledonian soldiers had fallen to the ground one by one, rolling in pain, unable to stand up again—caused by some of the Capetian forces that had just rushed to the city, or rather, the strange firearms in their hands.

The students who followed Sinampei to the front line at the beginning, one-fifth died, and although the rest were alive, they were more or less injured.

"Damn the Caledonians, did you tell me that you didn't capture the students of Pali University because you killed them?!"

Furious, Sinampei really used the knowledge he possessed - Sinampei, together with the rest of the Pali University students, came up with the Three-Eyed Gun that had never appeared in Oginia.

Although the three-eyed gun is too short to be used for aiming, although its caliber is not large, only fifteen millimeters per tube, it cannot penetrate heavy armor, although its optimal range is only fifty meters, and it is completely lethal at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, although its rate of fire is very slow, but it is completely enough for these Galedonian light infantry who have landed in the city!

The dense formation of the Galedonians, in the face of lead and iron sand, can only bring about their own destruction.

The commander of Caledonia found that no matter how much he organized the attack, it became a foolish act to give away his head, and even the formation became difficult...... No, rather, it is the act of arraying that is one of the main culprits in the current situation.

When he saw that his men, who were also his countrymen, or even his kindred, had died under the devil's weapons, the lonely Commander of Caledonia resolutely chose to charge forward, driven by the grief and indignation in his heart......

On the lookout of the palace, Si Nanpei, who was observing this qiē, suddenly felt a little unbearable, even though he had seen too many bloody and violent movies on the earth, and had personally participated in several battles in winter, but he was still a little unbearable to see such a cruel scene, when the dense lead hit a person, the scene was more shocking than the most curious horror movie.

Theresa was beside him, clutching his hand tightly.

"Temple...... Theresa, I suddenly felt that I would never go to heaven in the future. Sinampei smiled bitterly silently. He didn't believe in God, but this inexplicable feeling still haunted him. It reminded him of Albert Einstein. "When this genius scientist learned the news of the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima, he must have regretted it a thousand times more than me, right?" Si Nanpei thought silently.

"That'...... In that case, I'll be with you, after all, you're on Capet's side for me. Theresa's hands were covered with fine beads of sweat, but she still tried her best to laugh, "As a foreigner, you don't have to be involved in such a bloody war. Peace of mind, you are not guilty, I am the one who is guilty. ”

"Yes, it's me who is guilty......" Theresa thought to herself, "Compared to your sincerity, it's me who deliberately approached you......"
