Alalph returned to the camp dejectedly. He had been on many missions to the country of Bair, and this experience was undoubtedly the worst.
At the negotiating table, Reggie took out an hourglass, which was specially made by Reggie. The time was only three minutes.
He ordered Ellaf to say everything he wanted to say before the hourglass ran out.
In Love's opinion, this was so ridiculous that three minutes was not even enough for him to finish pretending.
He ignored Reggie's order and continued to intimidate Reggie in his own way: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has brought eight thousand troops, including two thousand Cambrian knights. The remote Snowy City has made you stupid, arrogant and very arrogant."
Arrogant, but I believe you have at least heard of the reputation of the Cambrian Knights. As long as fifty Cambrian Knights can destroy your Shattered Snow City, there is no need for Her Royal Highness to bring so many soldiers and horses. She just wants to give you a
A kind warning to let you understand the consequences of offending the Bayer Kingdom..."
Eight thousand troops, two thousand Cambrian knights, Love Ralph's bragging ability is also good.
Of course, appropriate exaggeration is a common method used by messengers, but Reggie is really not in the mood to waste time with him.
After the hourglass was gone, Reggie asked Erwin to interrupt Love Ralph.
Erwin didn't say much, and the way he interrupted Love Ralph was very simple.
He put the knife on Ralph's mouth and whispered: "If you say one more word, I will cut your tongue."
Ralph fell silent instantly. Next, it was time for him to listen to Reggie's opinion.
"Listen clearly, convey my words to your princess word for word, and preferably to your king." Reggie took a sip of ale and began to express the depression and anger in his heart, "First of all, what I want to explain
Yes, your Prince Sean is a fool
Pig, I feel insulted by describing him like this! Pigs are more educated than him! And your Princess Sophia, I could have captured her or killed her, but out of respect for her I released her
She, she is really a perfidious, shameless, stupid woman..."
Reggie cursed for half an hour, making his mouth dry and breathless. Ralph conveyed Reggie's words to Sophia basically intact. Nehruf who was standing aside noticed a detail.
.
"My queen, Reginald said that he once captured you. Is this true?"
"How could this be true?" Sophia laughed. "This idiot is just talking to himself. Who does he think he is? How could he catch me..."
Despite the embarrassment, Sophia recognized the reality.
"War seems inevitable."
"This is inevitable," Salah said. "If one messenger can capture Broken Snow City, why do we need to bring so many soldiers."
Nekhruf said: "The soldiers are ready, we are waiting for your orders, Her Majesty the Queen."
Sophia was a little nervous. She didn't know much about the military. At this point, Sean's evaluation of her was accurate.
"I think we should discuss tactics first. Tactics are very important, aren't they?"
"You are worrying too much, my queen," Nehruf said with a smile. "There is no need for any tactics to deal with these country bumpkins."
"You can't say that." Sophia chose her words carefully as much as possible to make her not sound like a pure layman. "In the last battle, I saw them using a round...
The shaped stones were very large and heavy, and there were many thick pieces of wood. They rolled down the hillside and injured many of our soldiers..."
Although Sophia's language was a bit confusing, the two lords quickly understood what she meant.
"Boulders and rolling logs," Salah nodded. "It seems that there are still a few insiders in Shattered Snow City. This is a common defense strategy for people who are condescending."
Salah's expression was a little solemn, and Sophia asked nervously: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Salah said: "There are many ways to crack cobblestones and rolling logs. If you use my Cambrian Knight..."
"Keep your Cambrian knights, they are too valuable," Nehruv said. "I have made preparations. There are five hundred fearless men in my military camp. They will be the first to charge tomorrow!"
"What is a fearless person?" Sophia couldn't pretend anymore. In fact, she didn't need to pretend so hard. The two lords would never look down on her in the slightest, and they patiently explained to her.
The so-called fearless are actually death squads. Some of these five hundred soldiers are carrying serious crimes, some are in huge debts, and some are unwilling to be ordinary and want to take a gamble and gain themselves a fortune and future.
The death squads do not need to have good combat qualities, but they must have enough courage. No matter what happens during the battle, no matter how many people fall, they must charge forward without hesitation. If one person flinches, it is likely to cause harm.
The entire county collapsed, which was why many generals were reluctant to use death squads.
But Nehruv was very confident in his death squads. According to his deployment, five hundred fearless men would be the first to rush up the mountain road during the battle. In this case, Shattering Snow City would definitely let the soldiers use boulders and rolling logs to stop them.
The fearless are all infantry and have a certain chance of avoiding boulders and rolling logs. As long as a hundred fearless can rush to the city, they will completely disrupt the opponent's defense. Under the city, the fearless will try their best to hold off the opponent's soldiers and let them
Unable to continue throwing boulders and rolling logs, the cavalry will take the opportunity to rush up the mountain road and capture the city wall before all the fearless people are killed.
It sounds like a very cruel tactic, but it is very effective in actual combat. With the loss of only 500 infantry, the cavalry can rush to the city wall. The overall effect of the tactic is very impressive.
It seemed that Sophia did not know Nehruv well enough. Although he despised Reginald in words, he was fully prepared for this war.
If her brother could also think of using the death squads, if he could adopt some effective tactics instead of expecting his opponent to surrender, he wouldn't be locked up in the dungeon of Shattered Snow City now.
Nehruv's tactics were approved by Sophia and Salah, and at dawn the next day, the Bair army marched.
Five woo woo, woo~, wu five woo woo, woo~
The loud horn sound shook the Snow City, which made Reggie who was standing on the top of the city very envious.
"Knight Gusta, why don't we have a horn?"
"Of course we have horns, but the sound of our horns... is not so loud."
"Then make a bigger horn!" Reggie said, "This is related to our morale. We need more shocking background music!"
"What, what, what is the background music..."
Every time I talk to Reggie, I always hear a few rare words coming out of his mouth that no one has ever heard before. Jiawen doesn't expect Reggie's explanation, he has become accustomed to this.
But the enemy's formation was something he wasn't used to, and even Reggie could see the anomaly in it.
"Why do the infantry walk in front of the cavalry?" Reggie shook his head and said, "If the cavalry is allowed to follow the infantry slowly, wouldn't it mean that the purpose of the cavalry's existence is lost?"
The sophisticated Jiawen was silent for a while, and finally saw the mystery behind it.
"The Fearless, the one walking in front is the Fearless," Jiawen frowned, "The enemy has changed their tactics."
