European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 49

"What? You mean that Edward is going to withdraw all the cavalry from Rouen?"

Sally questioned the messenger loudly, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, the messenger was already pulled up by the collar, and his feet were slightly off the ground.

"I'm just passing on a message for the Duke, please sir...don't be embarrassing, Sir."

The messenger looked at Sally and glared at him, like a hungry beast, afraid that he would swallow him alive in the next second.

"Hmph, I won't stop him if he wants to take his people away, so hurry up and check them out, I don't want to see you again for a second."

Sally threw the courier down rudely. The courier was a little out of balance when he didn't stand firmly on the ground, but he didn't dare to make a mistake. He just bowed and apologized and then went to complete the order.

"Brother Sally, you look very worried." Sir Pole's face was radiant, and he walked towards Sally.

Sally was also furious, and now he was so angry that everyone who caught him looked black.

"You bastard, you slept peacefully and comfortably last night. I was fine. I waited for the enemy to come in the middle of the night, but I waited all night in vain."

Pole stepped forward, patted Sally on the shoulder, and stroked back and forth between his shoulder blade, clavicle and chest with his delicate hands.

"Be patient and don't be impatient. Don't be impatient."

"As long as you know how to enjoy the blessings, you look like a prodigal prince every day, and you are doing prodigal activities. When will you be able to do something serious." Sally didn't appreciate it, and directly pushed away Boer's enthusiastic care.

"Hey, it's true. I'm not like nobles like you, whether it's a big noble or a small lord. I just want to take care of my three-acre land, and I really don't want to go into your muddy water." I spread my hands.

"But you are already an insider now, and many things are beyond your control."

Pohl sighed, "Okay, let's talk about the specific situation."

Sally told the whole story of what happened from yesterday to just now, with body language vividly attached, while Pole on the side listened carefully without saying a word.

"So that's the situation." Bohr finally spoke.

Without cavalry units to maneuver, it would be difficult to defend the huge city of Rouen with infantry alone. If the opponent's offensive troops focused on Rouen, the fall would only happen faster. Both of them knew this well.

"Would you like to guess the dice?" Boer took out two dice from his pocket with great interest, and it must have been accidentally taken away when he went to the restaurant last night.

Sally saw this rambunctious little brother who was too muddy to support the wall, like an irritated pit bull, snorting continuously from his nostrils.

"Don't get excited. God doesn't play dice. Destiny is in your own hands." Seeing Sally's angry look, Bohr laughed and put the dice back in his palm.

"What I mean is, guess the enemy's attack route. If we can predict the opponent's attack focus, we can deploy our troops and defense in advance, and even if the mobility is almost there, we can still make up for it."

The expression on Sally's face changed subtly, "You continue to talk, but you should understand where our defensive focus should be."

Bohr took out a Sol again, put it on the thumb cover and lightly hit it into the air, and after it landed in the palm of his hand, he glanced at it again, and then repeated the action again.

"Southeast." Bohr smiled slightly.

Sally looked blank, and said with a little disdain: "Don't tell me that you were selected by a silver coin toss."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I also use this method to choose the size when I'm tangled in the casino. It's tried and tested." Boer felt relaxed.

"But now it's not gambling, it's war."

"There is no better way. If they are scattered, it will only make people break through the key points, and concentrate on defending, but there will be a chance of survival."

"The southeast gate is convenient for running, isn't it?" Pole walked forward, put his head close to Sally's ear, and murmured in a low voice deliberately.

Outside Rouen, Scott's cavalry
"General, from which direction do you plan to attack the city?"

Most of the knights under Scott are recruits, and there are many trainee knights among them. The elite and experienced troops have all gone to assist Duke Richard. Fortunately, the personnel and facilities for the siege have not been left behind, otherwise it would be a bit difficult.

Scott slowed down a bit, the structural map of Rouen City quickly appeared in his mind, and the geological features around each city gate also emerged. After a moment of meditation, Scott slowly opened the Eye.

"siege."

The few knights who were close to Scott were a little puzzled, so they moved closer to find out.

"My lord, if our troops are dispersed, it will help the enemy defeat them one by one. We should concentrate our superior forces to attack in one direction."

"Yes, yes, both the southwest and northwest gates can be used as breakthroughs. They are open from the terrain, and it is also convenient for cavalry to maneuver."

"General, please think again."

Scott frowned, seeming a little shaken.

"No, I have my own plan. It's inconvenient to say now, just besiege the city."

Seeing that Scott was so decisive, the officers and soldiers didn't ask any more questions.

The city of Rouen has gradually come into view from everyone, which also means that the battle for fortification is close at hand.

In the city of Rouen at this time, there were not many idle civilians wandering around on the streets, but many merchants in the market were still operating normally, and the church was crowded with many people. It seemed that this place was a safe refuge.

"You each lead 100 people and surround the entire Rouen around the city. Don't act rashly. Remember, just surround and don't fight."

The few knights beside them looked at each other in blank dismay. As far as only 100 people were concerned, let alone attacking the city, they might not even be qualified to bluff people.

"The siege machinery is ready to be in a state of readiness, and there is no need for any substantial attack." Scott added.

"What does the general plan to do with the remaining knights?" One of them was puzzled.

"Let's smooth things over and get rid of the rats." Scott gave him a firm look.

Rouen Normandy Palace, the Duke's troops have already arrived at the city, lined up.

"Edward the dog smashed, you have the ability to steal the city, you have the ability to fight head-on, many-to-many, one-on-one. If you win, you will be the Duke of Normandy, you are a sack."

The Duke uttered a few obscenities, and scolded him for a long time, but he didn't see Edward.

"Aim at the old stubborn position, and give this guy a shot." Edward half-lowered and hid behind the battlements, and began to direct his men to shoot cold arrows.

"Whoosh", a crossbow arrow came out from the dark place, the Duke had quick eyes and quick hands, and while drawing his sword to block, he turned his body sideways, but the arrow just pierced his shawl.

"You uneducated rascal, you fucking like to play tricks, set up a catapult for me, and I'll blow you down until you kneel and kowtow."

The cavalry in the front row spread out a few lanes first, and the siege catapults in the back row were moved to the front of the team.

"Wait a minute and let me see how you shiver."

"Where should we go first? Rouen is still the palace." Bernard asked.

Li Peijun took out a change and threw it into the air in a decent manner, but unfortunately he didn't catch it securely, and the change rolled to the ground, and he didn't care about it.

"Rouen."

"Huh? You also saw the front and back?" Tiddle exclaimed that Li Peijun's eyesight was so good.

"No, I just don't know how to get to the palace." Li Peijun said, covering his face.
