Chapter 9 God Them Up?
As the king and others had anticipated, the Galedonians took advantage of the situation to launch a siege war, trying to take advantage of the chaos of Cape's army to pry open the northern gates of the city of Pali, and then achieve the grand cause of seizing the crown of Cape.
Although it is not necessarily strictly in accordance with this ratio, the siege does require an absolute superiority of troops to offset the geographical advantage occupied by the defending side. However, the current situation is that although the Capetian army has suffered a big defeat and loss, in terms of numbers alone, the Galedonian army still does not have an advantage. So as long as they survive these dangerous days and gather the remnants of the defeated army, then the Capetians still have the potential to continue fighting.
Most of the army was on the run, but only the king's own army, about 3,000 in front of the fortress, and the 7,000 resting fortress defenders led by Crown Prince Huge in the fortress still maintained the battle line. However, in the case of demoralization, it is also a question of how much combat effectiveness Cape's army can play.
"They're playing with a big idea. After looking around at the surrounding troops, Yuge responded to Sinampe's question, "As long as we rely on the strength of our hands to survive these few days, then the few Galedonians will not pose a threat." ”
After all, so far, the few Galedonians have achieved only one crushing achievement. They relied on longbowmen to give Capet's cavalry troops a lot of casualties, but Capet was one of the most knightly countries in Uginia, and still had an advantage in cavalry troops - just because Caledonia's dismounted knights were good at fighting didn't mean they were good on horses. Therefore, the commanders of Caledonia, although they had begun to try to attack the city, did not divide their forces, and threw their precious mobile forces into the pursuit of Cape's defeated army—and they did not have the courage to do so, and if the pursuit turned into a melee, the advantage that the Galledonians had saved up would probably be lost in an instant, and the few knights would be lost.
"Quick and quick? I don't think their artillery will be able to completely shatter the fortress's defenses in a few days. Are they going to force their way into the city with infantry? No, probably not, they can't afford to afford the losses of such a forcible attack. Sinampe had made a wise judgment on the city wall - he had never eaten pork or seen a pig run, and he had played a lot of strategy games, and the reason was the same - he knew very well that the reason why the Galledonians could not afford it was because of the lack of human resources.
"Not really. Yu Ge shook his head, "As long as you can take the northern gateway of Pali City, I don't think the guys on the other side will mind taking a risk." After all, as long as this fortress is taken, then the city of Pali will no longer be in danger. ”
While he was talking, a granite cannonball suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the observation post of the fortress. Although it did not directly hit Sinan Pei and Yu Ge, the huge power of the heavy artillery directly smashed this observation post that had been repaired several times and was not explained in the first place.
"Ahem, what's the matter, those guys fired their cannons so accurately!" Climbing out of the ruins, Sinampe was covered in dust and tattered, but he was lucky compared to Yuge - he was not injured, and when Yuge climbed out of the ruins, blood had already flowed from his forehead to his chin.
"Damn, it's Andreno's cannon again!" the crown prince wiped the blood from his forehead and said angrily, "That villain who sees money!"
"Andreno?" "Sinampei, this is the first time I've heard the name of the enemy's giant cannon. Needless to say, this Andreno must be the designer of the giant cannon in Caledonia.
"That's a little man from Saranyi. "Because of financial problems, he fled from Salanyi to the city of Pali and became a professor at Pali University. When his father heard of his talent and experience, he personally visited him and gave him a sum of money as a sponsorship, and asked him to develop a cannon for Cape. But who knows if he was afraid of the lack of money or because of something, he actually absconded to Galedonia with the money, and developed a giant cannon for them to attack Cape's fortress, hum!"
It turns out that there is such a difficult opponent on the other side! Sinan Pei finally understood why the king was so eager to hire himself to develop artillery for him - the co-authorship was because he let go of a great power without paying attention, and then he had a long memory, and he had to try his best to keep himself!
Si Nanpei can be sure that Theresa and his usually slightly ambiguous expression Xiàn must also be in his eyes. "It's just that I usually turn a blind eye, but it's still for the sake of myself that I can help him, right?" Si Nanpei guessed.
"The key question is how they hit so accurately, Your Highness!" Although he didn't know where the Andreno cannon was, Sinampe was furious after observing the position of the Galledonians in general, "Do they have a god to operate the cannon for them?!" Sinampe had a hunch, it was definitely aimed at Yuge just now, if they really let them smash Yuge to death, then the Agincourt fortress might really miss- The king was outside the city, and could not command the defenders inside the city, and the defenders did not dare to open the city for fear that the Caredonians would take advantage of the situation when they opened the door.
If it weren't for the fact that communication inside and outside the city was extremely difficult at this moment, Sinampei would have suspected that there were traitors in the Capetian garrison.
"Oh, I'm sorry I almost hit you. A girl's charming voice rang in their ears.
"Who?" Si Nanpei subconsciously searched around.
"Don't look for it, I'm behind you. A petite figure wearing a white robe and hiding under a pointed hat emerged from the void and slowly appeared at a distance of about fifty meters from Sinan Pei. I saw her sitting on a wall, gently shaking her legs as delicate as white lotus, and giggling, "Your reaction is too slow." ”
Sinampei turned around and took a few steps back in surprise: "Demon ...... Magician?!"
Not only the two, but the other Capetian defenders were also shocked.
"I really didn't expect a magician to intervene in this war. Yu Ge's voice was a little bitter, "If you meddle in the worldly war like this, aren't you afraid of the sanction of the Holy See......?
"That kind of treaty has nothing to do with me. "I have no interest in war or killing, and I don't really want to kill anyone, especially the strangers over there." All I seek is a change in the outcome. ”
