Chris knew nothing about the White Tower Country. Even if he wanted to break his shell, he would never have thought that the White Tower Country would send troops to support Charlemagne. Regardless of domestic affairs or diplomacy, the various actions of the Lion Country often became the object of ridicule in the White Tower Country.
, when the old king was alive, he vigorously promoted his political initiatives to the White Tower Kingdom’s envoy. Chris saw with his own eyes the embarrassing expression of the White Tower Kingdom’s envoy who was trying to hold back vomiting.
Now Chris is busy dealing with the wizard army. The ten-day period has passed and Charlemagne refused to surrender. Chris launched an attack. Alice sent the wizard army to fight.
This group of wizards transformed from poor people had never been on the battlefield. According to past experience, as long as they heard the sound of muskets, they would turn around and run away, and even break up the formation of the following troops.
This is the importance of the vanguard force. Although the vanguard force has a high battle loss rate, it must choose excellent soldiers. The effect of the first charge often determines the success or failure of a battle.
But today's wizard army is something special. Under the baptism of guns and cannons, they always maintain a neat formation and constantly use clumsy witchcraft to launch counterattacks.
No matter how clumsy the witchcraft is, its lethality cannot be underestimated. A wizard who used shield witchcraft rushed directly towards Chris, and thirty musketeers took turns shooting before finally killing him.
If the artificial wizard's witchcraft hadn't been too crude, this would have been a very successful beheading operation. This battle caused a lot of casualties to Chris, and forced Chris's army to retreat thirty years.
inside.
After the war, the soldiers brought back the wizard's body, and the medical officer found a strange layer of armor on his body. There were more than a dozen bullet marks on the armor, but only three bullets remained in the wizard's body.
If Reggie were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this is Yali Shan's method, but Chris has never seen the Queen of Yellow Sand. He can't imagine that there is such a hard armor on this continent. What's worse is that the craftsman
People cannot tell the material of this armor.
"No wonder Charlemagne had the courage to procrastinate. It must be the alchemists in the royal capital who helped a lot."
Edmund said angrily: "You should have followed my advice before and sent troops to capture the royal capital as soon as possible. There are still many wizards like this. One more day of delay is equivalent to giving Charlemagne an extra bargaining chip."
Sandos smiled nonchalantly and said, "Are you scared to death, Lord Marquis?"
Edmund said angrily: "What right do you have to laugh at me! This is war, we can't afford to bet, and we can't afford to lose!"
"We don't need to bet, and we won't lose at all. This is just armor. Even if it can stop bullets, it can't stop cannonballs."
"You also saw today's battle. Thousands of enemy troops rushed over in scattered directions. How many shells can we waste on them?"
"Don't argue yet, let me think about it," Chris thought for a long time, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "I changed my mind, you continue arguing, it's quite useful."
The two of them looked at Chris dumbfounded, and Chris said seriously: "I'm not joking, you continue to argue, this is indeed very useful."
Chris was indeed not joking. What Sandos said made sense. The enemy's armor could not stop the artillery after all. Edmund also made sense. The number of artillery shells was limited, and the battle could not be delayed any longer. He didn't want to
Let Charlemagne bring him more surprises.
The core issue now is how to gather the enemy troops together and use artillery to eliminate them. This is a typical tactic of luring the enemy. Edmund immediately put forward his suggestion: "Let's retreat to Lianyucheng first and attract the enemy troops to attack the city.
This is the best time to destroy the enemy."
After talking about this plan, even Golwuzi, who had always been steady, laughed.
"My Lord Marquis, do you think Charlemagne will attack Lianyucheng?"
Sandos laughed and said: "Charlemagne, who is dying in the royal capital, actually wants to regain Lianyucheng. You overestimate his ambition."
The ridicule from everyone did not affect Edmund's mood. After fighting with Chris for so long, he believed that his military quality was not inferior to these two generals.
"In Charlemagne's heart, Lianyucheng has a different status. From the day he was born, Lianyucheng has been his fief. As long as he gets a chance, he will definitely want to take Lianyucheng back."
Sandos sneered: "It's a pity that he didn't have that opportunity."
Edmund said: "Then why don't we give him a chance."
Chris frowned and said, "You mean, cheating?"
Edmund smiled, and judging from his expression, Chris seemed to be very interested in his plan.
But the next second, Chris's expression changed.
"If I deliberately fight a losing battle and let Charlemagne pursue us, do you think he can catch up with us?"
Sandos laughed again: "I think he can. Think about the moving speed of the artillery, and think about the cavalry of the Golden Lion Army. I am afraid that before we can return to Lianyucheng, we will be annihilated by Charlemagne."
"We can withdraw the artillery ahead of time and leave only the cavalry."
"No!" Chris completely rejected Edmund's plan. "I don't have the courage to let the Golden Lions chase me for dozens of miles. He will spread my ass, but it's a good idea to fake defeat."
The idea is just to change the place."
After deliberation for a full hour, Chris finally chose a perfect ambush location.
Lion's Foot Mountain is a hill less than a hundred feet high. There are horsetail grass over six feet high growing on this hill, which is enough to hide artillery and soldiers on this hill.
"Since you want to fake a defeat, you must do the tricks well and spend a little more money!" Chris wrote a detailed fake-fail script and asked the two generals to demonstrate it several times on the map to ensure that every link would be correct.
The next day, the drama began. Sandos went to attack the city with four artillery pieces. The first scene was as Chris expected. Before the artillery reached the range, Alice sent out the wizard army.
In the second act, Sandos fired all the cannonballs, but failed to stop the wizard's attack. The cavalry rushed up with muskets to fight the wizard.
This scene is a fake show, and it is also the most painful part for Chris. The charging cavalry not only have to directly face the enemy's witchcraft, but also face the Golden Lion Army behind the wizard. They will face about 30% of the battle.
damage.
This is also the scene that Alice wants to see the most. The Golden Lion Army can definitely sweep through Chris's cavalry, but Chris's artillery never gives the Golden Lion Army a chance to take action. Seeing the cavalry and the wizards fighting together, Alice immediately asks Na
Erses issued the order to go to war.
Narses led the Golden Lion Army out of the city gate. The dazzling armor made Sandos immediately notice their movements. He ordered a retreat to Lion's Foot Mountain and left the four artillery pieces in place.
For this show, Chris had indeed spent a lot of money. Seeing that the enemy had abandoned their precious artillery, Narses was overjoyed. He did not hesitate to order a pursuit until they reached the foot of Lion's Foot Mountain.
Seeing that Narses had been fooled, Chris who was guarding the mountain smiled, and the third act was about to begin.
All the personnel are in place, but the actors have not yet appeared.
Narses led the Golden Lion Army and waited at the foot of the mountain, but did not charge towards the mountain.
What is the reason for this? Could it be that he has grown a brain?
Just when Chris was curious, Golwuzi saw another scene through the telescope.
"Your Highness, the enemy may want to surround us!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Chris laughed, "Lion's Foot Mountain is not big, but it would take at least 30,000 troops to surround it."
"I'm afraid there are more than 30,000 enemies." Goel handed the binoculars to Chris. "Look at the army formation. I'm afraid there are more than 50,000."
