Chapter 333

    Inside the tent, Ted Barrett, who was temporarily armistice, gathered with more than ten vassals.


    "Everyone, we are careless." the Marquis looked around at the people in front of him. "There is no doubt that the people and horses of Lingfeng castle have stood on the opposite wall, and they have a lot of Warcraft bows and weapons such as strong crossbows placed on the wall, which will be a lot of trouble for the knight''s attack."


    This was somewhat unexpected. They knew the strength of the campes family and guessed that Lingfeng castle would send troops, but they didn''t expect that the other party would have so many archers and strong crossbows.


    "Hey, it seems that the boy of the tustra family has pressed all the treasures here. The boy must be hiding behind the fortress."


    Hearing the speech, the feudal ministers began to express their views.


    "The strong crossbow is a little troublesome. It''s no doubt that the last arrow will die, and the knight''s armor doesn''t work, but the most troublesome is the archers. The Knights of Lingfeng Castle must be here. I wondered how they dug the pit so far. Now it seems that they did it deliberately. They can attack us, but we can''t reach them." This is the speech of the honourable Rudy battel.


    Serro lackson, the "roast chicken Jazz" who used a battle axe, also said: "the best way is for us to mobilize strong crossbows immediately, otherwise we won''t have an advantage if we only let the longbowmen shoot at each other. Since the other''s crossbows can kill two or three people even after breaking through the shield, with a range of at least 400 meters, which is a great threat to the knights, we need to mobilize large strong crossbows!"


    "It seems that the kid of Lingfeng castle is not just bragging. Seeing that the attack has stopped, he is probably very proud now. He may be drinking happily!"


    "It''s just careless, but it doesn''t matter if two or three hundred serfs died. That boy shouldn''t be so easy to be silly. At least he won several wars."


    The dialogue was between Sir hard Burton and Sir mieren Pacheco. Both of them had barbed wire beards on their faces, and their tall bodies were wrapped in armor. They looked powerful when sitting in chairs.


    "Everybody, what should we do now? If we don''t get rid of those pits, the riprap truck can''t be used."


    "If you want me to say that the old city wall doesn''t need such heavy things as stone dumpers at all. Just put up a wooden ladder and let the serfs rush directly with their shields."


    "Rush over? What about the horses in front? Isn''t everyone standing there to practice arrows for them? How else should the knight get over?"


    "Then let the serfs throw the horse into the pit. They are just dead people. Kill two birds with one stone!"


    "It''s not feasible. When we clean up those who resist horses, at least thousands of people will die, and we haven''t touched the wall yet, which will be a great blow to morale!"


    During the discussion, sir Cyrus lachson shouted: "Everyone, I have observed that there are not many strong crossbows on the other side. It is estimated that there are only six or seven, and no more than ten at most. We must fight back. The real threat is the archers! We might as well immediately mobilize a batch of strong crossbows from the town. Write to the nearest Bedouin town. It will take only two days to whip up. The solution is to wait."


    The vassals thought about it and agreed to the proposal after a buzzing discussion.


    "In that case, write quickly and let the two boys of campes and tustra family live a few more days."


    "Gentlemen, there are no strong crossbows in the town!" at this time, Olivier robe, who stood behind Ted Barrett as a guard, quickly opened his mouth. "There has been no war in the territory for a long time. My father doesn''t think it''s necessary to reserve such weapons, so I''m afraid he''ll need to collect them from elsewhere..."


    Facing the eyes of the vassals, Olivier had a trace of apology and shame on his face.


    A large crossbow is ten times more expensive than a long bow. His father can''t bear to let so many gold coins rot. moreover, Bedouin really doesn''t need such a weapon.


    Looking at him, the chatting vassals pursed their lips and looked contemptuous. They all knew the reputation of old Robert''s miser. This was more or less expected.


    "Gentlemen, although Bedouin town doesn''t have a strong crossbow, we have a boat." Olivier robe was embarrassed by the despised eyes of the feudal ministers, and immediately said, "do you think we can take a boat to bypass the fortress and attack directly?"


    "By boat? Ah! Boats are living targets on the water! Knights are wearing armor. Once they fall into the water, there is only a dead end."


    "Then act at night! When they are asleep, we will land quietly by boat. There are many boats in Bedouin town. The small can take ten people and the large can take fifty or sixty people. You can send at least thirty or forty people to search in three days and transport thousands of people at a time. What do you think?"


    Olivier''s tone was so excited that he couldn''t help being satisfied with his quick wit.


    Seeing that the princes whispered and there was no objection, he quickly turned to the silent Ted Barrett and asked for instructions respectfully: "Lord Marquis, what do you think of my method? If it works, I will write to my father immediately."


    At this time, the vassals also looked up at Ted Barrett and waited for his decision.


    After a little meditation, he said: "The risk is too great. The other side is not blind. Even at night, the ships on the water are still clearly visible, slow and easy to attack. If only serfs are sent ashore, it will be difficult to win, and the other side will summon more serfs than us! If knights are allowed to attack by boat, once they are shot by a powerful crossbow, we will suffer heavy losses, and even the war will end here. We I''m not a gambler, but I''ve lost a few copper coins. It''s not time to put all your eggs in one basket. "


    "I agree with the marquis." as soon as Ted Barrett''s voice fell, the vassal had berten immediately said, "we really don''t have to take such a risk. It''s a big deal to mobilize strong crossbows from further towns. They have ten, and we''ll adjust thirty. Anyway, we have plenty of time."


    The vassal Eli Frey also nodded and said, "I don''t agree. We''re not just here for a fragrant fruit town. Why let the Knights abandon their horses and take a boat and take such a risk."


    Then, several vassals denied Olivier Robey''s proposal.


    Seeing this, Cedric basaya, the young vassal, said, "I say, gentlemen, why don''t we have some wine and wait comfortably until night, and then let the serfs deal with the roadblocks in front. Of course, the strong crossbow still needs to be adjusted, and it also needs to be used to attack the castle in the back."


    "That''s good!" echoed art Dallas, a thin vassal with thick curly hair. "Moving at night can always reduce some losses. The Knights opposite are limited. They can''t stay on the wall all day and shoot arrows."


    After another discussion, the vassals gradually unified their opinions, calmed down and turned their eyes to the first Ted Barrett.


    "Olivier''s proposal is too risky, but a little change can also reduce a lot of trouble for our attack." glancing at Olivier robe, TID Barrett, who is energetic behind him, said slowly. "Since you want to mobilize a strong crossbow, bring the ships from Bedouin town together."


    "These days, let the serfs clear the roadblocks outside the city wall at night. When everything is ready, they attack on the water and outside the city at the same time. As long as the ship is camouflaged, runs on the other side, and makes a sneaky appearance to land in Xiangguo town at night, the purpose is to disperse the troops on the city wall and reduce the difficulty of attack outside the city."


    With that, he looked around at the people thinking and asked softly, "what do you think of this method?"


    "Well, that''s a great idea!" Olivier Robey said before Sir hard Burton could speak. "In this way, we can easily take the wall! Your Excellency, your idea is great!"


    The vassals also nodded in agreement. In short, we have to wait and attack. It''s best to reduce some damage. However, they don''t have to pay gold coins for the lost ships.


    Seeing that there was no objection, Ted Barrett directly ordered: "in that case, immediately send a letter to liwali Town, kramen Town, mengge town and Shuangshui Town, so that they can transport the strong crossbow within five days. In addition, let Sir Andrey robe prepare the ship."


    "Yes, sir!" the three vassals and Olivier Robey were immediately ordered to answer.


    ……


    In the evening, in the big tent on the mound, Ted Barrett gathered with the vassals.


    After making a new battle plan, all the vassals relaxed and waited patiently for the ships and crossbows to arrive.


    The servant brought a delicious dinner. The main course was two roast pigs with golden skin. While laughing, the feudal ministers watched the servants divide the food. The crisp pig skin crackled under the knife, and the hot oil juice kept dripping into the lower plate.


    "Everybody!" Sir Cedric basaya shouted as he put down his wine cup. "Why don''t we sing for fun with such good food and wine?"


    While waiting for the main course, he had drunk slightly, and the horn cup was the knight wine produced by Shanghe collar.


    "There''s no singer here, and there''s no Yueqin!" cried the vassal, Hadad berten. He also drank a lot.


    "Singer? Hey, listen to me..."


    He shook up slightly and directly sang: "Hey, there is a girl bathing by the river in summer. The sun sprinkled on her face. The river wet her clothes. I am the infatuated boy, hiding aside..."


    This is a straightforward ballad. When Cedric sang half way, the vassals screamed and hit the wooden table with wine cups.
