Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 569 Preparations for Attack

"How is the siege plan going?"

The abandoned city among the two cities built by the Guiyi Brigade was called Yicheng. At this time, Viscount Henrietta looked at the officers and nobles around him and asked.

"Sir Governor, the large-scale siege equipment we have built includes 38 ladders, hundreds of trench bridges, 27 shield vehicles, and [-] arrow tower vehicles, which are enough for the entire army to siege the city."

"Moreover, our craftsmen are becoming more and more familiar with production. Now we can produce three ladders, twenty powerful ones, two shield chariots, and six arrow towers every two days, which can be continuously replenished."

"It's just that there are fewer and fewer trees around now, so this production speed will become slower and slower after reaching its peak. After all, some trees are too far away, difficult to transport, and require more manpower."

This is what the officer in charge of the logistics craftsmen said. During this period, Rakshasa Man hired a large number of craftsmen to make siege equipment to ensure the success of the siege.

So he understands these things very well. Even if he doesn't understand the manufacturing of siege equipment, he should understand it in the past month.

After hearing what the officer said, Viscount Henrietta nodded.

"Very good, with so many engineering equipment, we will definitely win this small Dagan City!"

Everyone praised Viscount Henrietta, and then an officer continued:

"According to the order of the Governor, we are now continuously compressing the activity range of the Dagan people's city. Now we can ensure that they cannot escape from the north and south."

"Even in the high mountains on the east and west sides, we have many people stationed. Although we cannot guarantee that anyone will escape, we can guarantee that their large troops will not escape."

Viscount Henrietta appreciated it very much. Although the escape route for the large number of people in the city was now blocked, they didn't mind at all at this time.

Not because of anything else, but because these Dagan people are so hateful. I have obviously let them go and given them a way to escape south. However, not only do they not appreciate it, they also frequently attack their craftsmen and workers. Logging crew.

And this is very abominable and proves that these people are indeed preparing to defend the city.

It's not like they haven't encountered this kind of thing before. They know very well how powerful the large number of people in the city are to defend the city. Under normal circumstances, they would directly trap the people in the city to death.

But now they understand that the Dagan people in the city have too much food, and it cannot be ended by being trapped.

Moreover, the large number of servant troops they originally used to attack the city are not available now. It does not mean that there is no such army now, but that Viscount Henrietta, the governor, cannot mobilize such a servant army. This is the right of the Tatar Count.

Now to attack the city, all Viscount Henrietta can use is the standing army and nobles.

The nobles are powerful, but most of their armies can only be strong on a small scale. For such large-scale battles, a garrison is required.

Therefore, since these Dagan people want to die, let them die.

With this idea, Viscount Henrietta mobilized a large army to surround the Guiyi Brigade, and was determined to attack the city on a large scale after the siege equipment was manufactured.

"Your Majesty the Governor, I suggest that we directly attack with the standing army, because these siege equipment look many, but they will be consumed very quickly. It is too wasteful to give them to the serf soldiers. As for the serf soldiers, let them push the carts. And cook.”

This was the suggestion of the nobles. They also understood that the combat effectiveness of the serf soldiers was low. Since they wanted a decisive battle, it was better to go directly to the standing army.

As he said, serf soldiers can be used to push siege equipment or to cook for the warriors in battle.

As for letting these serf soldiers carry ladders to attack the city, to be honest, the nobles are not willing to do so. This is not to say that they feel sorry for the loss because the serfs are their private property, but they are really afraid that the defeat of the serf soldiers on the battlefield will cause the morale of the standing army to decline.

In this case, these nobles still have something in mind.

Anyway, in the end, after their victory, they will be named in the standing army, and as the commander-in-chief of an army, they will be awarded meritorious services.

As for the standing army of these soldiers, they will also work specifically for them so that their families can obtain the status of free citizens.

After all, this is just a matter of their words, just leave it to the housekeeper to handle.

In this way, those who died in the standing army gained benefits, and they also gained benefits. It was good for you and good for both sides.

As for those who did not die in battle, the merits they received were naturally theirs. What the nobles wanted was only the merits of their chief officers.

Under this unspoken rule, many standing armies actually have to curry favor with the nobles because the nobles will give them many things.

Therefore, these people will not have any conflicts with the nobles. They are all sensible people and each takes what they need. One is just using his life and the other is using his own influence.

So when it came to using the standing army to attack, the standing officers immediately stood up.

"Mr. Governor, we believe that we should attack this city from the south and north together, because the operating area of ​​​​this city for the army is too small. The total number of troops invested on each side is only 2000 people. This is actually Very disadvantageous.”

"So, if we attack from both sides, we can invest more troops and at the same time spread out the enemy's defenders. Only in this way can our attack go more smoothly."

Viscount Henrietta nodded, "I know what you are thinking. These Dagan people are stupid. They are always used to building castles under mountains and plains, and they are very big. Only a few are smart." . If the castle is built on a mountain like us, only a few people can block the attack of tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people."

"Since they are so stupid, then destroy them!"

"So, I agree to your request. Let's get ready and start the attack tomorrow morning."

The officer of the standing army was very happy and bent down to salute: "Your Majesty the Governor is wise, may the gods bless you."

Viscount Henrietta also returned the greeting: "We will attack the city tomorrow. May the gods bless you to successfully capture the city."

Then Viscount Henrietta looked at the nobles who were already impatient and wanted to leave. He naturally understood why, so he directly ordered them to leave.

After all the nobles left, Viscount Henrietta looked at his son and asked:

"How is it? The standing army found you?"

Little Baron Henrietta smiled: "It's the standing army I brought out that day, and they asked me to be the commander of the army!"

Viscount Henrietta nodded: "Very good, you don't need to command this siege. You just need to sit in the position of the legion commander and watch. Don't say anything or ask anything."

"By the way, if they report to you, or anything else, you only need to wish them God's blessing, and the Henrietta family will not forget you. Do you understand?"

After listening to his father's instructions, little Baron Henrietta nodded solemnly.

"I see, Father!"
