Fei felt the eyes of everyone cast on him.
Showing a reassuring smile to the restless soldiers and civilians, he beckoned Brook and Pierce to the bottom of the enemy building at the city gate, ignoring the warden who was trying to get his attention in the distance Oleg also ignored the herald Bazel who was standing not far behind.
This is an unusually obvious signal.
Even a farmer who doesn't know anything can tell that Bazel and Oleg, the two powerful officials in Chambord in the past, will probably lose power in front of His Majesty Alexander in the future.
"Brook, let's talk about the movement of the enemy during this time."
Fei stood in front of the battlements of the city wall, gently stroking the stones covered with sword marks, looking at the dark enemies outside the city, and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, during the four hours of your rest, for some reason, the enemy has been standing still, without any movement, not even a harassing feint, as if waiting for something, but..."
Speaking of this, Brook pointed to the distance, and then said in a worried tone: "They transported the remaining 3 siege ladders and other improvised siege equipment to the stone bridge. They are well prepared, they have invested a larger force than in the previous three or four days, and if they attack, we will not face an unprecedented threat."
Fei Fei followed Brook's point of view.
I saw that the formation of the soldiers in black has undergone great changes again—the tower shield phalanx of hundreds of people is still at the forefront of the entire team, only one step away from the north bank of Chambord City, like a huge black wall guarding At the forefront of the army.
But behind the tower shield phalanx, the enemy's formation has changed—the three phalanxes of javelins, throwing axes, and bows and arrows that followed closely behind the tower shield phalanx in the early morning have retreated slightly, and some soldiers in black and light armor Carrying three siege ladders waiting there, and further back, there are four or five times facing a huge anti-arrow wooden wall pieced together with green wet wood. Behind the wooden wall, some people are obviously stronger. Soldiers guard six megalithic catapults more than 20 meters high...
Seeing this, Fei's pupils shrank.
Those six boulder catapults are definitely sharp siege weapons, far more threatening than siege ladders. As long as these six battle formation monsters are pushed within 200 meters below Chambord City, no matter how strong the city wall is, It can definitely be blasted away. The defense force of less than 1,000 people in the city can be wiped out with only 20 simple throws.
The enemy commander obviously spent his money this time, and was determined to break through Chambord City in one go.
"Those anti-arrow wooden walls were made in a hurry, and the trunks still have green branches and leaves, but the six boulder catapults have never appeared in the previous siege. Could it be...the enemy has come to reinforce them?"
Thinking of this, Fei subconsciously licked his lips.
In this case, there is almost no suspense in this battle. Once the enemy launches an attack, erecting those wooden walls under the city to block Chambord City is not considered a ferocious bow and arrow shooting, and then put the boulder thrower within range, Chambord The city is finished.
This is simply an asymmetrical war.
In addition to the disparity in strength, the mysterious coach of the opposing team was quite careful. He pinpointed the Achilles heel of Chambord City's lack of troops, leaving Brook and the others almost unable to find any loopholes to break the deadlock.
Fei looked at the serious situation in front of him and frowned slightly.
Brook was observing Fei's expression, hesitating to speak.
"Just say what you have to say. The hesitating look is not like the style of my future general in Chambord City."
Fei Fei noticed Brook's expression and made a little joke.
Brook had no choice but to lean into Fei's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty...maybe... Chambord City may not be able to hold it anymore, I am willing to stay and guard the city with the soldiers, delay for a while, or let Lord Lampard, Pierce and two lead a team of elite soldiers to escort you and Miss Angela to leave from the back city..."
"no!"
Before Fei finished listening, he shook his head and interrupted Brook's suggestion.
He didn't say anything impassioned, but from his slow shaking of the head, both Brooke and Pierce saw His Majesty Alexander's determination, and they both immediately understood that no matter what, the young king would never back down. Such a statement made the two feel excited and relieved, but also anxious.
"I can't continue to wait like this, I decided to take the initiative to attack."
Fei gently tapped the stones of the city wall with his fingers, and said suddenly.
These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which rang in the ears of the two of them.
"Actively attack?"
Brook and Pierce were shocked. With such a critical situation and such a disparity in the number and quality of troops, what does it mean to take the initiative to attack? It means giving up the geographical advantages of Chambord City, like touching a hard mountain rock with a soft apple cake... the end can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, this... isn't this too risky?"
Brook was trying to persuade Fei to change his mind.
"There is no time."
Fei shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "If my guess is correct, the enemy will start attacking the city as soon as the lunch time is over... If we want to survive this war, we must attack by surprise. The enemy initiates a fight, and we have only one way to die."
Having said that, Fei's eyes slowly passed over the two of them.
Looking at the slightly puzzled expressions of the two macho men, Fei asked in a bewitching tone: "How about it, my warriors, do you have the courage to rush out with me and kill all those cowardly bastards?" Send it to the Zuli River to take a bath?"
A simple sentence is like asking for a friend's opinion.
But at this moment, Brook and Pierce only felt that their blood was going to burn.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you."
The voices of the two were trembling.
"Okay, I need the two of you to do a few things now... Brook, tell the soldiers to take a break immediately. Remember, just leave a few smarter guys to observe the enemy's movements... Also, pick twenty soldiers as soon as possible. Reliable and loyal Hercules, bring me here. Pierce, go and help me prepare these things... "
Fei whispered a few words in Pierce's ear, and the white-haired hunk turned away with doubts.
After finishing all this, Fei stood at the top of the wall for a while.
He didn't turn around until he had carefully sorted out all the matters that needed to be paid attention to in the upcoming action in his mind.
All the way under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, Fei came to Frank Lampard, the number one expert in Chambord who was carrying a black giant sword.
"Your Majesty the King!"
Lampard nodded slightly.
This number one master who had been extremely indifferent towards Alexander at the beginning was finally willing to let go of his posture and speak to Fei actively.
Fei secretly laughed in his heart.
He knew that his previous series of performances had been recognized by this taciturn 'master brother'. Fei is more or less grateful to this expert who almost relied on his own power to protect the tranquility of Chambord City and the stability of the idiot Alexander's throne in the past few years. It is said that Lampard is the closest friend of the deceased old king. Friends, so to Fei, he can be regarded as an elder.
"Uncle Lampard, Alexander has something to ask you."
Sun Fei said it very politely.
Lampard looked at Fei, then turned around to look at the enemies outside the city who were entrenched on the stone bridge like a black torrent, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you want me to take action to help you destroy that How many boulder catapults? I'm only 30% to 40% sure that two or three of them will be destroyed by a sneak attack... "
"Destroy the boulder catapult?"
Fei was stunned for a moment, understood Lampard's thoughts, shook his head immediately, and said seriously: "Uncle Lampard, what I want to ask you for is not this... well, it's like this, I will go out of the city to fight back in a while , so I hope you can stay at the head of the city to stabilize the situation here for me, and if I unfortunately die in battle, I hope you can help me take care of Angela and protect her and Gemma to leave here safely."
