At dawn the next day, Sophia marched towards Silver Pine City with 1,300 Camry knights and 2,000 infantrymen.
These two thousand infantrymen were all captured from the previous battle, and Sophia did not have much hope for them.
The core force of this battle is the Cambrian Knights, who let two thousand infantrymen act as death squads. As long as they can blow open the city wall, the Cambrian Knights who enter the city will end the battle within one day.
Reggie followed the team at the end. He only brought dozens of soldiers and four personal bodyguards, Erwin, Modesa, Doranor and Natalie. With these four people by his side, Sara
He completely lost the chance to assassinate Reggie.
In addition, Reggie also brought Tortosa with him. Although Natalie strongly opposed it, Reggie believed that he needed to know more about the trolls, not only the language, but also the customs and culture of the trolls.
His mysterious weapon has been hidden in a carriage. Out of guilt, Sophia did not dare to ask about the weapon. She did not even dare to look at Reggie.
The first day's march ended at dusk, and Salah chose to camp on a snowfield.
Late at night, Reggie was revising the laws of broken snow, and Sophia sneaked into her tent quietly.
Facts have proved that this choice was too reckless. Although she used the wall-penetration technique, Modessa immediately noticed the abnormality outside the door. If Reggie hadn't stopped her in time, Modessa would have broken Sophia's neck.
It was rare that Reggie still maintained trust in Sophia. He asked Modessa to go to the tent next door to rest first, and prepared ale and dried meat for Sophia.
After drinking a large glass of wine, the awkward atmosphere eased slightly. Sophia still didn't dare to look into Reggie's eyes. She lowered her head and said with a blush: "I'm here to apologize for what happened before. I hope you can
Can you accept my apology?"
"You already apologized once yesterday," Reggie smiled. "You don't have to apologize twice for the same thing."
"I put you in danger. I underestimated Salah's hatred for you."
"It's not just hatred, but also worries about the future," Reggie said. "Eradication is indeed a good choice. I can understand the Marquis's approach, but I really can't understand the Marquis's tactics."
Sophia said: "Marquis Salah has experienced many wars, and in my impression he has never been defeated, so I believe..."
"So you believe that he will not fail this time. Even if he mistakes the role of the war, you will support him without hesitation."
"The role of war?" Sophia frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I'm referring to the roles of you and your opponent," Reggie said. "Salah has always looked down on the Lion Country from a Bayer perspective. In front of the Bayer Country, the Lion Country has always behaved very cowardly, but now you are
The character is a traitor, and in front of a traitor, the Lion Country may not be so docile."
"In Golden Light City, Salah fought with the Lion Country for more than ten days. He knew the strength of the Lion Country, and he did not underestimate the enemy."
Reggie shook his head and said: "He does know the enemy's strength, but he is too stubborn. Even though he was in a bitter battle in Golden Light City, he still refused to admit the strength of his opponent."
Sophia was very unconvinced by this: "Twenty thousand people against two thousand people, such a disparity in the battle cannot be won. Such an opponent cannot be considered strong in the first place!"
Reggie sighed and said: "It seems that you are more stubborn than Salah."
"This is not stubbornness, I am just stating the facts," Sophia stood up and said, "I don't want to argue with you anymore about tactical matters. You can rest early."
Sophia walked to the door and suddenly heard Reggie shouting: "Many soldiers will die in tomorrow's battle. Is this really what you want to see?"
"I don't want to see it, but I have no choice."
Reggie said: "I can win a victory with minimal losses, do you really not want to believe me?"
Sophia turned back and said: "I have always believed in you, but I must respect my subjects."
"Sophie," Reggie walked up behind Sophia and said softly, "When you become queen, I hope you can cherish the lives of every one of your subjects."
Sophia bit her lip, she wanted to give Reggie a hug, or simply push him down and do something crazier.
But she still left silently. She shouldn't indulge in personal affairs before the war, otherwise she would bring bad luck. Especially Reggie, if she gets too involved with him, after the war is over, Sophia will lose her face.
courage.
Maybe the ending was destined not to be so happy, but that voice from Sophie made her heart feel warm.
At noon the next day, Sophia's army arrived near Silver Pine City. Reggie chose to camp in the east of the city, while Sophia followed Salah to the south of the city.
During the march, Salah said to Sophia: "Regivict has no military knowledge at all. He defeated us only because of his weapons and geographical advantages."
Salah pointed to the east wall of Silver Pine City and said: "We are coming from the east, and the enemy will also strengthen the defense in the east of the city. This is the most basic law of battle. According to the news from the sentry, the enemy is in the east of the city.
There are at least forty Dengyun trebuchets, which are the largest trebuchets in the kingdom and can attack targets eight hundred feet away. Silverpine City also has enough black powder, so it is impossible for us to get close to the city wall."
"Maybe... Reggie has a better weapon?"
Salah sneered: "His best weapon is his flying witchcraft, but God knows if there are still dragon slayers in Silver Pine City. Do you think he is willing to take risks for us? He just wants to stay where he is and watch. If
If we lose this battle, he will immediately run back to Hanfeng Fortress and take away our land. If we win, he will come up with his previous agreement and ask for his reward from you. He is such a shameless person.
only!"
Two hours later, the army arrived at the south side of Silver Pine City. As Salah expected, there were not many defenders on the city wall. Sophia even used a telescope to observe it. There was only a row of archers on the city top.
There wasn't even a trebuchet in sight.
With this alone, it is impossible for the archers to kill all the infantry, not even half.
In this way, the infantry can successfully deliver the black powder to the city, and when the city wall is blown open, the battle will be over.
I have to admire Salah's judgment, this is the quality of a general.
The infantrymen carrying black powder on their backs were ready to go. Salah said to Sophia: "Your Majesty, some of these soldiers will not come back alive. They need your encouragement."
Sophia walked up to the soldiers and shouted loudly: "Good sons of Bayer Kingdom, you were once used by the robbed people. Fortunately, you found your way back and once again won the opportunity to fight for glory for the kingdom. All the soldiers who love me
Guys, please show the blood of the Bayers..."
Halfway through her words, Sophia suddenly stopped, and a golden army appeared on the distant horizon.
Salah also noticed something unusual, and ordered the soldiers to turn immediately to prepare to meet the enemy.
Sophia looked into the telescope and saw that the other party was holding the flag of the Lion Country.
She handed the binoculars to Salah, who looked at it for a long time and said with surprise: "This is the Golden Lion Army."
