After returning to the camp, the territorial nobles prepared to hold a banquet to celebrate. Although they suffered a series of defeats and lost nearly half of their troops, they had forced the enemies stationed in Squirrel Village back to their own camp. This should be considered a happy thing. Even if the enemy builds their camp like a small fortress, it is much better than using their mobile defense outside to use endless conspiracies to make the territorial noble coalition forces continue to suffer losses.
It's like a mouse falling into an oil urn. Although it took a big advantage by eating the oil, the mouse can't climb out of the oil urn. The rest will depend on when it will be killed. This is why the territorial nobles are excited. They can finally sleep peacefully at night. They no longer have to worry about being harassed by enemy night attacks. As long as the noble private soldiers guard Squirrel Village, the enemy will not be able to leave their camp. . The funny thing is that the enemy still trapped himself inside, like a turtle in an urn.
After celebrating for a while, the territorial nobles began to discuss how to capture this small fortress-like camp.
Baron Quinrona of the Principality of Karrnath, who was born in March, became interested. He made the enemy's mud wall and log fence out of white bread and placed them on the table. He began his long speech: "Everyone, I discovered something today. One disadvantage of the enemy's wall is that it is straight. That is to say, the enemy can only attack the attacker from the front when defending, and cannot respond or shoot from the side. This will reduce a lot of casualties to our attack. "
Many knowledgeable territorial nobles nodded. Baron Kunluo was indeed right, but perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the wall built by the enemy was only about seventy meters long. The distance is too short and there is not enough space to install protruding horse faces on the left and right. Perhaps due to lack of manpower and time, we can only build it this way temporarily. But this has nothing to do with the territorial nobles. They only care about when they can capture the enemy's camp.
"Although we have suffered a lot of losses and are not as good as the enemy in terms of weapons, equipment and soldier training, our greatest advantage lies in our strength. Now we have learned that the enemy we are defending only has more than a hundred points, and they The real reason for abandoning the field positions and dealing with us is that there are too few garrison troops. Even if we exchange ten men for one of their casualties, they will not be able to continue because they are afraid that there will not be enough soldiers to guard their camp."
Baron Quinluana continued to express his high opinion: "The difference in strength between us and the enemy is still more than 20 to one, so I am confident in capturing the enemy's camp. But what we need to consider is reducing our casualties. And try to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time. So I think that starting tomorrow, all the conscripted citizens will be sent to cut down the trees and transport them to Squirrel Village to make wooden carts, ladders and other equipment for siege for later use."
A territorial noble raised his head and asked: "Are we sure we want to make these things in Squirrel Village? The enemy is equipped with two standard infantry artillery pieces of their kingdom. I remember that the range of this kind of artillery can reach 700 meters. If we let our private soldiers If we gather all the conscripted citizens in Squirrel Village, I'm worried that the enemy will fire and cause unnecessary losses to us."
"Don't worry about such a problem." Baron Kunluo smiled and said confidently: "Actually, I considered this issue when I was observing Squirrel Village on the hillside in the afternoon, but I think that the enemy will abandon Squirrel Village and retreat to their garrison. The camp was a helpless move because they didn't have enough troops to guard such a huge squirrel village.
For us, Squirrel Village is a very ideal starting point for forward attacks. Firstly, it is close to the enemy's camp. Secondly, from Squirrel Village to the enemy's defensive wall, there is flat land in between, so we can go very smoothly. This ensures that the siege equipment can be pushed under the wall in a short time while maintaining the physical strength of our soldiers without consuming too much strength.
It is true that the enemy's artillery range does cover the entire Squirrel Village, but I don't know if you have figured out one thing. If we only need to stay in the back half of Squirrel Village and avoid the 300 meters in front, the defending enemy will be There is no way to cause damage to our people with cold guns and cold guns. Even if the enemy fires, they can't do anything to our people. "
"Why?" A territorial noble next to him who didn't know much about military affairs asked this appropriately.
