European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 50

"Arrange the whole army, don't get close to the enemy's attack range, don't act alone."

The chief knight of the east gate carefully told the knights under his command that the offensive and defensive sides formed a delicate relationship. The two armies just provoked each other wantonly, accompanied by splatters of foul language. The scene seemed to be rolling up their sleeves, but they just exchanged Like street gangsters pointing their noses and cursing each other.

Not only the east gate, but also the other gates were in the same situation. The noise covered up the sound of horse hooves. Scott led his large army of cavalry to circle around the city to check the situation everywhere.

"Your Excellency Bohr, do you think we are alone on the line? It looks like the enemy has surrounded us."

Sally looked at the cavalry that kept appearing and disappearing under the city, and the enemy's situation and battle reports kept coming from each city gate, and he felt very worried.

Bohr was unhurried, wandering leisurely around the top of the city, looking like the sky is falling and it's none of my business.

"This is God's will, and we can't blame us. Just try our best. It must be that our beliefs are not devout enough. I will go to church and pray now, maybe I can save a little hope."

After Bohr said a few words casually, he ignored Sally's reply, and walked briskly towards the church.

The city of Rouen is still in a state of confrontation, and the battle at the palace has already been fierce. The old siege equipment carried by the little lord is powerless in the face of the Duke's own meticulously constructed city walls. Attacking the city alone Weapons dropped from a long distance can hardly effectively break the city.

"He's a bastard, ready to attack, the siege ladder is ready." The Duke raised his arms and started a new round of siege.

The tall ladder moved forward slowly under the cover of the slingshot archers, and a dozen attendants manipulated the giant to keep pushing it deep into the enemy's hinterland, and there were a steady stream of knights charging to cover it.

"Target those big guys and beat him up with me."

Edward was commanding the fortifications on the front line. The catapult on the city wall was ready. After a little adjustment, the heavy ladder truck became a real target. After a round of counterattack, the ground was smashed out of size. There were several pits of different depths in different places, and the corpses were submerged in them, and the ladder car was in a state of being scrapped and damaged in all likelihood.

"I really did it to the dog to smash it, and even put a miniature sling on the battlements."

The Duke vaguely saw these powerful guys hiding in an inconspicuous place with his not-so-good eyesight.

"Break through these dead souls with iron hooves." The Duke didn't care so much, and directly took the lead in the charge, and the other knights also rushed forward.

"Here come some archers and shoot down those troublemakers."

"The ones in the back take the ladder directly, and climb up for me."

"Find that bastard Edward, kill him, and I'll make him an earl."

Duke Richard shouted with high spirits as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. Edward at the top of the city was not in a hurry. He also offered rewards and gathered the militiamen in the city to continuously transport heavy objects such as stones, wood, and haystacks. He would not The archer just swung the arrow directly towards a place with a lot of people. He didn't care about the damage and just continued to trot all the way to carry the heavy object.

"You're such a pretty boy, even horse dung fell on me." The Duke was blocking the left and right in the chaos. Liu Ya Feiyu was not afraid of anything, but the excrement falling from the sky drenched him.

After all, the Duke's side had the advantage in numbers and equipment, and had the right time and people. Edward's side only had the advantage of the location. Relying on the strong city walls that the Duke had spent a lot of effort to build, it could withstand several waves of strong attacks.

"Fire the rocket."

Edward directed the archers to put on cheap leather cloth soaked in oil, and the burning arrows were lined up neatly from the recesses of the battlements. With a command, thousands of arrows were fired.

The Duke also saw that the situation was not good, so he retreated quickly, taking advantage of the gap and turned around to fight back a few times. The fiery flames ignited the front line, and the soaring black smoke blocked the Duke's further attack.

"Fucking bastard, it stinks to death. The whole army will take a break and continue later. This kid won't last long."

"It should be almost done. When the old man attacks next, it will be when our reinforcements arrive." Edward breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency Roland, discuss the preparations with the knight, and attack from inside and outside."

Roland nodded, saluted and left.

The situation in Rouen is still peaceful

"Come here, little bastard." Bode stood on the top of the wall and made a disdainful gesture towards the knight under the gate. The man just responded with a few words, and the two sides did not actually exchange fire.

Wast was scared all night, and after a good night's sleep, he finally regained his sanity, but his hands still trembled unconsciously when he heard the roaring hoofbeats of the subway.

"Let's go." Scott pulled the horse's rein and stared at the horse away from Rouen.

"What is this?" asked the black knights with question marks on their faces. They didn't know what kind of medicine Scott was selling in his gourd.

"Go and block Edward's follow-up reinforcements." Scott said calmly.

"How do you know they'll have reinforcements."

"Edward dared to stand firm, so he must have decided to do his best to fight. Therefore, he will definitely deploy Compiègne's garrison troops one after another, and he will also incite all possible nobles to disrupt the situation."

"If you come from the direction of Compiègne, if you carry a lot of military equipment, this road is the most spacious and convenient."

"Since there are reinforcements, it will naturally affect our actions. Leaving a small number of people in Rouen to act as a cover-up is also to prevent the enemy from being attacked."

"We only have [-] cavalry now. I think the enemy's reinforcements should be around [-], and there is still a big gap in strength." The knight beside him had new doubts after realizing Scott's layout.

"A thousand-man legion composed mainly of infantry cannot be an opponent of the cavalry." Scott was not worried about this.

"The battle here must be settled quickly. If the defenders in Rouen realize that this is our trap, it will be troublesome to send cavalry to attack us." Scott thought of this, and urged the cavalry to speed up the circle. road.

Li Peijun and others also rushed to the northwest gate nearest to them. At present, the city of Rouen seemed to be surrounded by the Duke's army, and the situation seemed to be good.

The knights who besieged the city found Li Peijun and the others, and thought they were a small army of the enemy, but sent out a dozen people to surround Li Peijun and the others.

"It seems that your greetings don't seem very friendly."

Li Peijun looked at these crappy knights, they seemed to be new boys, and the posture of holding the sword was not sophisticated at first glance.

"A mission appears, capture Rouen."

Li Peijun took a deep breath, and the murderous intention in his heart was suppressed.

"Fortunately, I didn't ask me to kill these guys, or they would all die."

"Who are you guys? Hey, there's a chick in there. She looks pretty good. War is not just a joke. I don't mind taking you to my manor to see the mountains and rivers." One of the knights in the circle The little yellow head spoke first, and even teased Catherine who was wearing armor.

During this trip, Catherine didn't deliberately wear her hair in a helmet, her long, shiny hair was slightly over her shoulders, and the special leather armor highlighted her delicate figure, giving her a somewhat different taste.

"Tell your leaders to come to me."

Li Peijun's face was expressionless, and there was a soft sound between his lips. The throat of the hairy-headed knight who was flying and domineering just now had been deeply pierced by the dagger. It fell down, and there was no sound at all.

"You..." The knights who were still alive were stunned by what happened in a moment, and couldn't say anything else for a while.

Most of them have been promoted to knights not long ago, and they have not had time to enjoy life, so they are such a terrible person.

"Why? I don't mind killing a few more."

Li Peijun showed off the dagger hidden from his waist, letting everyone take a closer look. Not counting the knight's sword, there were at least five or six bright daggers hanging on it.

The knights' eyes widened and they swallowed their saliva with great difficulty.

"Wait...wait...please wait...don't...don't be impulsive." A knight who was afraid of death immediately turned his horse and rushed towards the siege troops. He was so impatient that he almost threw himself out when he turned around. Li Peijun I could also vaguely see wet marks on the horse's back.

"what's up."

The chief knight who didn't know the situation was pushed and pushed by that guy to Li Peijun, and he still didn't know the identities of the five people in front of him.

The chief knight looked at several people and noticed Catherine again.

"Why is there a woman here?"

The chief knight asked the knight who was crying and dragged him over with a blank face, but the guy was already snot running down his chin, and he kept gesturing to tell him not to speak, as if he had touched some taboo Same.

"I'm not married yet, so I'm not a woman." Catherine retorted coldly.

"Anyway, it's me..." Before the chief knight said "the eyes are the same", his mouth was covered by that guy, and the hand that had just wiped his nose was firmly pressed on his mouth.

Li Peijun reported his family again and explained his purpose of coming. After the chief knight realized that the person who came was not an enemy, he let go of his last bit of vigilance.

After explaining the misunderstanding, the chief knight planned to organize Li Peijun and others into his team to participate in the siege, but found that a knight had fallen to the ground, no longer alive, and died tragically.

"What's going on?" The chief knight's curiosity aroused again.

"It's nothing, it's just a manslaughter." Li Peijun seemed very frank. After killing so many people, he didn't feel as strong a sense of guilt as he did at the beginning.

Suddenly there was a strong airflow in the still air, and an unknown object passed through everyone's line of sight at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and passed by the chief knight. Although there was no direct contact, it seemed to be hit by a torrent. Even the man and the horse couldn't help but retreat a few positions.

After a short period of abnormality, there was a death-like silence. The chief knight didn't dare to look back, but just stretched his hands back and fumbled indiscriminately. , spotless.

"Then let's deal with it as usual." The chief knight wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and his tone became subservient, with a wry smile.

"Very good, you are very witty." Li Peijun acted cutely.
