I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Mayfair didn't have high expectations for Enri's plan, but out of trust in her own people, she decided to listen to it.

"Enri, tell me."

"We can plunder other places in the Tamubao area. On the one hand, we can force Khamis to send troops for rescue. On the other hand, we can also ease the daily material consumption of our army." Enli put her hands on her hips and looked like I was very smart. "What, this I learned it from listening to other knights bragging when I was on the battlefield."

However, everyone in the main tent fell silent and looked slightly embarrassed.

Even Fei'er held her head against the pain.

"It's a good plan, but don't mention it next time."

"Eh? Why, Miss Raya, my plan is not good enough?"

It's not that Enri's plan is bad, it's just that it's not suitable for the moment.

She Fei'er did not go to war with Khamis for the purpose of plundering, she came to war with Khamis for the purpose of trial, which could not involve the other people of Tamubao.

If she goes to plunder other villages in the Tamubao area and forces Khamis out of the city for a decisive battle, how will everyone in the kingdom view her?

Besides, both sides are nobles of the Kingdom of France, and the people are also the people of the Kingdom of France, so there is no such practice.

This plan is only suitable for aggressive wars.

For example, this method is very practical when there is an opportunity to fight within the Kingdom of England.

All I can say now is that this plan is of little use.

Even Enri's proposal of this plan seemed extremely stupid.

Terry coughed to break the awkwardness.

"Miss Raya, there are many trees nearby, and we have already arranged for people to cut them down. It is very simple to make ladders and siege vehicles. If we really need to attack the city, they will be used at that time."

Enri pointed at Terry: "Look, don't you also support the siege!"

Mayfair scolded helplessly: "Enri, don't talk."

"Oh"

Enri was obedient, while Youyuan stood aside.

"We are working on the ladders and siege vehicles first, maybe they will be used. The others are like this first. Everyone is tired after a long day of traveling, so we will set up camp and rest first. I am also very curious about how Khamis will react." Fei. Er waved helplessly, "Ximei, Terry, the cavalry troops are in your hands. Remember to maintain patrols and blockades. No one is allowed to enter or leave Tamubao. If there are nobles in Tamubao who have not left yet, if they want to leave, , they must also be inspected and searched before release. If they have any objections, let them come to me."

"Roger that!"

"Call Ella."

Terry was surprised: "Miss Raya, why are you calling Ella?"

"Just call her."

Terry was very curious, but he didn't want to ask too much. He had to tell his silly sister not to anger Miss Raya later.

The person in charge of the tent left, leaving Fei'er alone.

Her head hurt a little, partly because she didn't get enough rest, and partly because she didn't know what to do next.

After all, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before coming, she really thought that if Hamis didn't want to start a war, he would definitely return Xu Siling, but Hamis didn't.

Even if a war really breaks out, with Khamis's proud temperament and the fact that he always looks down on himself, there is no reason not to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

But Hamis's attitude was a bit ambiguous, and he seemed to be really not ready to go out of the city to fight with her.

This suddenly made Feier feel helpless.

She didn't know much about the battlefield, but she also knew that the 500 people she brought with her were definitely not enough to attack the city.

Attacking the city is the last resort, there must be a better way.

At this time, she thought of Ella.

Not long after, Ella entered the main tent wearing a hood and cloak. After entering, she took off her hood. Her hair was as black as lacquer, her gray eyes were like deep lake water, her facial features were extremely delicate, and her face was so beautiful that it could be broken by a blow.

When Fei'er looked at Ella, she had to admit that she looked really delicate.

"Miss Raya, you are looking for me."

"There are two things." Feier sat on the chair. "Currently, Hamis is not ready to surrender, and he does not want to go out to fight with me. I am very distressed and worried about Xu's safety. Do you have any good ideas?" .”

Ella's gray eyes seemed lifeless, and she fell silent.

When Ella came to her in person yesterday with the drawings of the catapult, Feier felt that this woman was extraordinary. She was definitely different from her appearance. She was not a flower vase.

Ella didn't know what she was thinking about, and finally her lips opened slightly.

"You can ransom my husband and I'll pay for it."

"Oh?"

This is a way to save Xu Siling.

If Xu Siling was shot and survived, Hamis would definitely work hard to revive Xu Siling, because Hamis would not understand which one is more useful, the living Xu Siling or the dead Xu Siling.

As an unwritten rule on the battlefield, hostages are for sale.

Any captive can have a clear price tag.

Since Hamis is not willing to hand over people, then buy them back.

After buying Xu Siling back, I'll find a way to get it back.

"Are you sure you want to do this? When negotiating the price with Hamis, he is very open-mouthed, and he is not good at Xu's reputation."

Ella looked at Feier with gray eyes: "It would be great if my husband could come back alive."

Fei'er didn't answer and changed the topic.

"What do you think about this battle? Some people advocate attacking the city, while others advocate siege without attacking. Which one do you support?"

"Why are you asking me."

"You didn't say you didn't know, but asked why you were asked. It seems you have a solution." The corner of Fei'er's mouth raised slightly, "Tell me more."

Ella's expression was indifferent, her gray eyes narrowed slightly: "I think we can't attack the city."

"Ella, you can have 10,000 reasons not to attack the city, but I also have 10,000 reasons to attack the city. Just because Xu is in Tamu Fort, this city is worthy of my attack."

Saying this in front of someone else's wife was somewhat intrusive, but Ella's expression did not change.

"My husband once said that Miss Raya is a person who will not change her goals easily. Miss Raya chose to ask me this question, which shows that Miss Raya's goal is not with Tamubao, nor with Khamis. , even hesitant about how to fight this battle."

Mayfair has always shown her firm attitude in front of outsiders that this war must be fought, which is to silence those who want to persuade her to make peace, so that no one will question her choice.

But Ella's words were undoubtedly tearing apart Mayfair's false performance.

But it also touched upon Mayfair's heart.

She had to fight Hamis, but Fei'er had never thought about how to fight. After all, she thought that with Xu Siling here, Xu Siling would help her find a way.

But now that Xu Siling is not here, she is confused inside.

Even if Ella exposed her, Feier was not prepared to show weakness, and her expression remained unchanged.

"Then what do you think my goal is?" "Miss Raya's goal is the same as mine, both for my husband."

Fei'er snorted coldly: "I said, for Xu, this Tamu Fort is enough reason for me to attack."

"If Miss Raya is not prepared to let Ella ransom my husband, then attacking the city is not the best option."

"I really won't let you ransom him. We are here to judge, not to bow. I really want to save Xu, but until that time comes, I will not bow to Hamis."

Ella was silent. The reason why she came to the battlefield was to redeem Xu Siling. She even brought all the valuable things from home, including many properties of the Frofen family.

Ximei and other members of the Fulofen tribe all supported spending money to redeem Xu Siling's return, no matter how much it cost.

Xu Siling is their foundation. Without Xu Siling, they are nothing.

Both love and interests must be redeemed.

But Ximei didn't dare to mention such a thing in the main account for fear of being scolded by Fei'er.

"If you want to redeem me, I want to redeem Xu more than you do. Believe me, Xu doesn't want to be redeemed himself. So don't mention the option of redeeming yourself. Do you have any other suggestions for me?"

Ella closed her gray eyes and sighed softly.

"If we attack the city, Miss Raya's advantage will become a disadvantage. This is wrong."

"Finish it all at once."

"We have to find a way to lure the enemy out, or disintegrate the Tamu Fort from within."

"You said it's simple, but it's not that simple. Don't we have catapults for siege? With the addition of ladders and siege engines, our siege may not be a disadvantage."

"The catapult is still being produced, and it will take at least four or five days from the completion of all the components to the delivery to the battlefield. Moreover, the siege effects of the ladders and siege engines are not good."

Fei'er was surprised: "Do you still know something about the battlefield?"

Ella hesitated for a while, but her expression did not change: "I don't know, I just understand these devices and what may happen."

"Go on."

"Although we have the advantage in numbers, we cannot fully deploy our army due to the city wall. If we want to win this kind of war, we can only charge against the city wall again and again. Attacking from above is extremely weak, but it is the only way to attack the city. way, so the losses we will suffer will be very serious.”

"As for the siege engines that Miss Raya mentioned, siege engines like siege engines have a very long history, and I have learned about them in depth. Generally speaking, siege engines have a wooden head covered with iron and wheels mounted on the bottom. , operated by soldiers to push it against the city gate."

"This method seems simple and easy, but in practice it is very difficult. First of all, we must consider that most of the siege vehicles are made of wood, and the rain of arrows and stones on the city head will not only cause damage to the soldiers, but , will also destroy the siege engines.”

"Even if we build a large number of siege vehicles, they will be burned by the rockets on the city top. Even the defenders will burn special hot oil on the city head to knock down the siege vehicles when they hit the door. This is very harmful to us. Soldiers inflict casualties.”

Fei'er had never fought in a war and listened carefully to Ella's analysis.

I have to say that it is much more comfortable to listen to smart people talking, instead of being like Enri, who just raises her index finger and says she has a plan.

When asked what the plan is, it is that I will lead the charge.

"The siege ladder is very cruel to soldiers. Soldiers who climb the ladder have almost no defensive measures during the climb. Therefore, they have no resistance to the arrows and stones on the top of the city. The friendly troops below the city can only We have very limited means to cover them with archery.”

"So I strongly do not recommend attacking the city, and I also hope that Miss Raya will give up this idea for the time being."

Feier nodded silently after hearing this, then raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.

"Ella, this is the first time I've heard you say so many words. It's really not easy."

"If it can dispel Miss Raya's idea of ​​​​attacking the city, this is nothing."

"Then you mean to let me besiege the city without attacking it?"

"I have a plan." Ella took the initiative.

"Oh? What's the plan?"

"Unlock the blockade of Tamubao."

Fei'er frowned: "You are the first person to suggest to me that we should not blockade Tamubao. If we do not blockade Tamubao, how can we still besiege the city?"

"If Tamubao is not sealed off, people can enter and exit. Once Tamubao relaxes its vigilance a little, we can also arrange for people to enter the interior of Tamubao and save my husband."

"To be honest, I am tempted by your plan, but it is unrealistic. Hamis will not let down his guard. Even if he can sneak in, there will be few people, and there will be too many people to get in. Even if he can save Xu in the castle, it means It’s not big, they can’t get out, and we will even become more passive. You are giving us the initiative.”

Ella is different from Feier. Feier has too many things to worry about, but Ella only cares about Xu Siling.

As long as Xu Siling can survive, Ella doesn't want to care about the others, so she has this plan.

"This plan may be difficult, but it's worth trying."

"I don't agree. I don't allow the lives of soldiers to be joked with."

Ella couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had many ways to help Feier, but now she only had Xu Siling in her heart.

"If you don't have any other suggestions, you can go back first."

Fei'er issued an eviction order, and Ella stopped trying to persuade her and had to leave silently.

After Ella left, Feier quickly called Enri over.

"Miss Raya, what do you want from me? Do you think the plan I proposed can be tried?"

Fei'er did not answer Enli's question, but asked seriously with her blue eyes: "Anli, how much do you think it will cost us to redeem Xu?"

"what?"

"Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say it."

Fei'er gritted her teeth, she was really moved by the proposal of redeeming Xu Siling.

If she could redeem Xu Siling, she would be willing to spend any amount of money.

She was not afraid of Hamisi's lion opening its mouth. She mainly didn't want to appear so powerless in front of Xu Siling.

In particular, Fei'er cares about Xu Siling's feelings. Xu Siling will not be happy if she redeems him in this situation.

"How are the siege engines and ladders being made?"

Enri blinked: "If we go all out to catch up on the project today, we can use the ladders and siege vehicles tomorrow. Their production process is not that complicated."

"If I asked you to lead people to attack the city tomorrow, how sure would it be?"

Enri immediately became energetic when she heard the decision to attack the city, and she slapped her chest in assurance.

"Miss Raya, just leave it to me to attack the city. I will definitely take down Tamubao. Those people in Tamubao are just a bunch of pig heads waiting to be slaughtered!"

"Okay, I will only allow you to attack once tomorrow. If you fail to capture it, retreat immediately. Listen, I will only give you one chance. If you cannot capture it anyway, I will discuss with Hamis to redeem Xu."

"No problem! Keep it on me."

Just when Feier gritted her teeth and made a decision, a very familiar male voice came from outside the main tent. The voice was like a warm current, soothing Feier's restless heart.

"Fei'er, you've lost your mind and actually advocated attacking the city."

The male voice sounded anxious and blaming, as if he didn't expect Feier to make such a ridiculous decision. (End of chapter)
