European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 47

Sally looked at the beacon fire soaring into the sky, the sound of fighting in the border town did not resound as expected, but it was as calm as ever.

"The battle ended so quickly?"

Sally felt that the Duke's attack speed exceeded his expectations. According to the speed, they could break through to the inner city within a few minutes.

Without further ado, Sally hurriedly lit the beacon tower, which was a ready signal for the archers, reminding them to pay attention to the enemy's situation and be ready to shoot arrows at any time.

According to Edward's prediction and Sally's actual detective situation, he knew that the duke's troops constructed in Rouen City would quickly break into the inner city through the gaps in the ruined walls in a very short time, so Sally set up at these nodes. Traps are for hunting prey.

In the plan, in order to guide the Duke's troops to move along the desired route, Sally also specially set up heavy defenses in other places, forcing the Duke to seek other breakthroughs, and finally fell into the set trap slowly.

"I'm afraid you won't come, so I dug a grave here for you."

Sally looked at the hidden haystacks at a few corners, and put a lot of vegetable oil on them to support the combustion. He waited for the enemy to rush in, and the archers in ambush all around would attack with rocket fire. When the time came, the Duke's The men and horses were deep in the sea of ​​fire, and then waited for Edward's large army to surround and wipe out the enemy.

Thinking of this, Sally couldn't help coughing and laughing, the poor civilians in Rouen will suffer, but since it is a war, there will naturally be casualties, peace will come again soon, and everything will return to normal.

"Sir, no enemy troops have been found." The messenger hurried over to report.

"What?" Sally couldn't believe her ears.

"The gates of Southwest City are tightly closed, but all the guards on the battlements have been eliminated, leaving only two survivors," the messenger added.

Sully was puzzled, and hurried to the southwestern city gate with his saber to check the situation. There were corpses all over the scene. One soldier was already limp on the ground, muttering non-stop, while the other held a torch to greet him. up.

"What happened, Bird."

"I don't know. Gast and I just repaired the city gate cable bridge below. We don't know what happened above."

"Damn it." Sally was a little annoyed. After the guards at the entrance of the city were killed, the enemy army did not appear as expected, and everything became unknown.

Sally closed her eyes, and kept trying to persuade herself to calm down, thinking about the whole incident.

"Did they find out about our plan?"

"The Duke of Normandy didn't attack Rouen, but another unknown army?"

"Isn't the Duke's goal at the Southwest Gate?"

Sally thought about many situations, each of which seemed reasonable, but couldn't stand scrutiny.

"Continue to stay on guard, I will recruit people from other places again." Sally patted Bode on the shoulder, walked up to Vastor, who had lost his soul, and bent down.

"Cheer up, you guy, haven't you seen blood? You used to be the son of a butcher, aren't you just some dead people, I order you, cheer up now."

The frightened Vast looked at Sally, and drooped his head again, no matter how Jazz yelled or kicked people with his ears, but he couldn't get back to normal, Sally just sighed, then gave up and prepared to go back.

"This useless guy, you watch him tonight." Sally reminded Bode.

Late night, deep suburbs of Rouen

"Report to Your Excellency the Duke. The herald has discovered that the beacon in Rouen has been lit." Roland, who was in charge of the messenger, hurriedly reported to Edward after receiving the information.

Edward nodded slightly, "Very good, the plan over there has already started, we can just wait here."

"Don't we need to go to support? In this way, we can catch them all in one go directly in Rouen City."

"Hey, let them fight for a while to consume some strength." Edward was unmoved.

"them?"

"Those little nobles in Sally have fought a lot of battles on their own, and they are a bit of a force. Recently, they have been a little disobedient. It's good to teach them a lesson."

Earl Roland could not help but shudder when he heard Edward's tone.

"Everything will wait and see what happens, we just wait here slowly for the prey to come by itself." Edward asked his attendant to take a piece of embroidered cloth, and wiped his silver armor until it was shiny.

On the other side, the retreating Duke's men turned around and surrounded the fortress again, without asking whether it was an enemy or a friend, they just rolled up their sleeves and did it. The fortress itself did not have many troops at night, and it was killed by these thousand people within half a quarter of an hour. The army broke the city.

The lord was still asleep, so he was awakened by the movement outside. Before he woke up from the beauty's arms, the door of the bedroom was roughly kicked open, and Scott, who took the lead, stood there wearing an ordinary armor. the door.

"Who are you... what are you doing?"

The lord didn't know who was coming, and he planned to go to the other side of the bedroom to resist with a sword. As soon as the quilt was lifted, he was dragged out of the bed by Scott and thrown into the meeting in the inner castle like a prisoner. room.

"Casada, it's you, don't come here without any harm." The Duke glanced at the lord's appearance, only to realize that it was a lord he knew.

The lord was quite frightened by what happened so suddenly. After being tied up, he kept his head lowered, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Casada, it's me, Duke Richard, ruler of the Duchy of Normandy." Another loud voice rang in Kasada's ear, and Kasada slowly raised his head.

"My lord, the Duke of Normandy, I dare not contradict you anymore, have pity on me, don't kill me, I only want to survive, and I will give you the rest." Kasada's voice was choked up, and his attitude was sincere.

"It seems that your memory is not bad, you remember what happened back then." Richard moved his body again, the chair here is indeed not as comfortable as the one in his own home.

"It's my fault, it's my hot temper, it's my mouth that's cheap, please, don't remember the villain's mistakes, please let me go." Kasada started to kowtow while talking, just To get the Duke's forgiveness.

"Master Duke, what should we do now?" Seeing that the lord and the Duke knew each other, Scott asked for advice.

The Duke rubbed his palms, leaned his whole body back on the chair, and pinched his nose again.

"This guy used to be disobedient when he followed a big nobleman, and he often made trouble for me. Let's take this opportunity to teach him a good lesson and throw him in the dungeon."

"Yes, as ordered." Scott clapped his hands, and two knights entered the door, dragging Kasada down.

"Take a break and take turns patrolling, Scott, you are tired too, remember to take a rest too."

"Okay, Your Excellency the Duke." Scott expressed his loyalty again and then resigned.

The Duke yawned. The chair was too uncomfortable, so he decided to try Kasada's bedroom.

Rouen

"No movement at all?" Sally kept asking the guards everywhere, but found no other abnormalities, which made him feel even more strange.

"Where's Edward's troops?" Sally asked the messenger again, but got a negative answer.

Sally began to think again, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything unreasonable.

"Forget it, watch it, I'm going to rest."

After tossing all night, it turned out to be Christmas Eve tonight. When he thought of this, the tiredness he had been suppressing just now surged up his body, and Sally squinted his eyes and went back to rest.

Edward also received information that Rouen was not attacked by Richard.

"My lord duke, what's the situation? What should we do now?" Roland repeated the messenger's words, and asked Edward's opinion. Edward's eyeballs rolled rapidly, and his lips were murmuring something.

"Retreat, the operation is cancelled."

Edward issued the order, and everyone returned to the royal palace step by step.
