I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Tiny's words not only stunned Robien, but even the knight almost didn't react.

Everyone has fallen into a misunderstanding without realizing it.

That is Xu Siling is invincible.

In addition, the sneak attack on the city wall was unsuccessful, which further deepened the thoughts of Robien and the knight.

Xu Siling is very powerful, so powerful that he is invincible.

But it also indirectly caused Robien to ignore one thing.

Xu Siling is very powerful, but that does not mean that his soldiers are also powerful.

Tiny then asked: "Lord Bode, how many soldiers are there in Dramisburg?"

Robin still didn't answer. He was not familiar with Tiny.

But he was distracted by Tiny.

Xu Siling's troops were less than a hundred men.

Their advantage is that the soldiers are wearing armor that has never been seen before, and the performance of the armor is much better than ordinary chain armor. Another advantage is that they all ride horses and have no infantry.

When necessary, Xu Siling's troops can leave at will.

But the situation in Dramisburg is much better than that of Alston Town.

Not counting knights, knights' retinues and soldiers who can be recruited temporarily, the standing army alone has as many as three hundred.

There are eight knights named Robien, and many knights' retinues. Counting the soldiers who can mount horses, the cavalry force has more than seventy horses.

This combat power is already very good among the viscounts in the Earl of Raya.

If the two armies were facing each other, of course Robien would just let the soldiers push across and crush Xu Siling's troops.

But he is guarding the city.

Moreover, Xu Siling's troops of less than a hundred men surrounded Fort Drami.

To be honest, it is somewhat unpleasant to hear this kind of thing spread.

Usually when the siege party wants to siege a city, it is most reasonable to have more people than the defenders.

But the number of people in Dramisburg was more than three times that of Xu Siling, so they were surrounded like this.
Tiny's offer was tempting.

But the problem for Robin is
Can he really defeat Xu Siling?
Although he had many soldiers to support him, he only had more than seventy people when he rode out to attack Xu Siling's camp.

Xu Siling still has more people than him.

A characteristic feature of the Dramisburg territory is that there are many trees. If there are too many infantrymen coming out, Xu Siling will sense that something is wrong, so he can naturally turn around on horseback and enter the forest. In the end, it is Robien who is being pulled around and is unable to chase and fight. It also depends on the other person’s face.

Given the mobility of the cavalry, Xu Siling's troops would detect any raid in Dramisburg.

Just for a moment, Robin had already thought about the possibility that he would go out to the city to encircle Xu Siling and be defeated by Xu Siling in eight different ways.

This is just talking about the disparity in troop deployment.

Not counting Xu Siling's personal strength.

Without armor, he dared to risk his life by entering the city gate alone and opening the gate.

Who else in France can be like this madman like Xu Siling?

Xu Siling is so insane without armor, isn't it even more extreme if he has armor?

When Tiny saw that Robin hadn't said anything, he became a little anxious.

"Lord Bode, tell me! Is this possible? If you have this idea, I have some manpower that I can put at your disposal!"

Robin glanced at Tiny and said indifferently: "I will consider it. If I really need Tangs' help when necessary, I won't be polite."

"That means you have this idea?"

"Fighting is not that simple, Downs."

"I don't understand, we have more people than Raya Knights!"

"That's true, but we don't have many more mounted soldiers than the Raya Knights. There are too many infantrymen in our city. Once they show their intention to encircle the Raya Knights, the Raya Knights can bring their troops to break away and return. We can’t go deep into the mountains and forests.”

"So, there are so many of us, but we have to be surrounded by less than a hundred soldiers of the Raya Knights?"

Tiny couldn't comprehend this fact at all.

"It may be a little hard to accept, but this is indeed the truth. There are not plains near Dramisburg, there are too many mountains and forests. They can hide wherever they want. However, pursuing them deeply will give them an advantage. They can intercept our targets at will. Soldier."

Robien lectured: "I know what you are thinking, Downs."

"We have many people, but don't forget that the troops of the Raya Knights are all cavalry. They are not bad at mobility, which gives them a high degree of initiative. But at the same time, they also have flaws."

"The flaw is that once he wants to forcefully attack the city, his cavalry troops are like tofu and will be broken into pieces when hit. They don't have any siege equipment. Our only way to win is to defend Fort Drami."

Taini smiled strangely: "What about Knight Raya asking for help? Call Miss Raya's large army, what about your Fort Drami?"

The knight sensed that Tiny's tone was not good, and immediately scolded him: "Downs, watch your words! Sir Bode is kind enough to take you in, and Sir Bode doesn't need you to teach him what to do!"

Robin waved his hand carelessly, signaling the knight to retreat.

"Then let him shout, let Miss Raya attack the city! It's not like I haven't fought this kind of battle before. We must be able to hold on. As long as you don't appear in other people's sight, and you can't let the other party prove that you are with me, Raya The lady cannot bear the public opinion of protracted siege."

Tiny was surprised: "Why can't you bear it? Miss Raya is obviously overturning the table!"

"I don't know what happened when Tamubao Village was plundered. But don't forget what Miss Raya and Knight Raya did in Alston Town."

"What do you mean?"

"They clearly attacked the town of Alston, but they did not rob the people. They just executed Angus for plundering the earl territory. At that time, the Raya knight who had enough troops, even if he did not go out personally, arranged for people to go out Attacking the village of the three Tangs brothers is enough to take your heads before you can fully react!"

Robin tapped the table to get Tiny to think.

"But neither Miss Raya nor Knight Raya did this. How did they do it?"

Taini was stunned: "They wrote to three of us brothers, asking us to lead the troops to Alston Town to surrender and confess our crimes."

"Downs, if you are the Knight of Raya, after you have conquered Alston Town and have sufficient troops, what is the reason that would prevent you from sending troops to attack the three Downs brothers?"

Tiny was unsure: "Because...fallacies and reputation?"

"Probably." Robien wasn't particularly sure, but he felt right: "Miss Raya is a Holy Saint. It is impossible for her to rob the people. Even if she wanted to rob, she would not be able to rob her own county. People. The accusations that Miss Raya made against the Tangs family were based on nothing but one-sided words, but no one in the earldom dared to refute her."

This is the identity that Mayfair has. It has always been whoever makes the claim gives evidence.

But these words are of no use to Feier.

If she says you are wrong, then you are wrong.

If you want to prove that you are right, then you have to find evidence to prove that you are right.

This situation is outrageous in modern times.

But in the Middle Ages, it is not surprising at all.

"It took three days for the Knights of Raya to write to you, asking you Downs brothers to go to Alston Town to surrender. The purpose is probably to protect yourself from attacking Alston Town."

"As long as my brothers and I really go to Alston Town to confess our sins, it will directly mean that Miss Raya did nothing wrong and mean that she burned my brother Angus to death, my sister Rangna to death, and my family to death. That’s right”

Robin nodded: "Right, so in your eyes, Miss Raya seems to be overturning the table, but in fact she is not. She wants to occupy Alston Town reasonably. She is not afraid of the three of you Downs brothers escaping. Because she feels that no one dares to touch her now, and thinks that the knight of Raya in her hands is enough to scare the nobles of the earldom. "

"But it's a pity that I, Bode, am not afraid of Talaya. They are the murderers who framed and forced the late king to death! I will not bow to them, so she never thought that I would take you in."

Tiny was immediately convinced by Robien's statement, because it was completely self-explanatory.

The fact that Mayfair did not rob people or take prisoners is strange enough.

In addition, Xu Siling wrote to the three brothers earlier, asking them to confess and surrender their weapons.

They were just packing their bags and running for their lives, without thinking about it seriously at all.

For example, Xu Siling three days ago could have sent out his troops and divided them into three groups to attack the three Tang Si brothers.

But Xu Siling did not do this. Instead, he used humiliating and coercive letters to force the Downs brothers to confess.
Not even afraid that they would run away.

Tiny now followed Robien's conjecture and thought about it seriously. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Robien was right.

Tiny: "According to Master Bode, why Knight Raya didn't bring Miss Raya's troops to Dramisburg, but only his own troops, this makes perfect sense!"

Robin nodded: "That's right. Miss Raya cares about reputation. Even if Knight Raya can represent Miss Raya, in order to worry about reputation issues, Knight Raya cannot be allowed to lead his troops around at will, so he only Let Raya Knight take the lead."

Taini: "Raya Knight has suffered under Master Bode. It will take time to return to Alston Town and call for people to attack the city. Especially Miss Raya has to worry about the bad fallacies caused by the protracted siege, so Bode Only De Da is so confident.”

"Downs, you are right, he is much smarter than your brother Angus." Robin narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have always been loyal to the royal family. John is going to be canonized as king. As the future king, he can not You care about the life and death of the Tangs family, but you can’t care about my life and death.”

"But if John's son Charlie is in the hands of the Raya Knights, will John really say anything to stop this?"

Robin was very confident about this matter: "At least he will make some simple remarks to stop Miss Raya's actions. If just because of John's remarks, Charlie will be put in danger, then we can only say that Raya The young lady’s situation is too small. As long as John puts a stop to it, the nobles of the entire kingdom will be on my side.”

"Master Bode is so awesome! I admire him!"

Tiny was really convinced at this time, feeling that the Robin in front of him was smart and powerful, much better than himself and his brother Angus.

Robien was also very comfortable with being boasted: "Miss Raya, who cares about her reputation, can't maintain it even if she attacks the city. What we have to do is very simple, that is to defend Fort Drami. And as for you, Downs, just be honest. If you really stay here and don’t be exposed to outsiders’ eyes, it would be very difficult for me to let Miss Raya find evidence that you are in Dramisburg.”

"I understand! Lord Bode."

After Robin finished speaking, he stood up and left with the knight.

After walking away, Robien gave instructions to the knight beside him.

"Ask the city wall soldiers to keep an eye on Knight Raya's camp. If there is any change in the camp, tell me. At the same time, arrange the retinue. Be prepared to attack at any time these days."

The knight couldn't help but be stunned. When they were in the living room, Robin clearly didn't say that.

Doesn’t it mean that defending the city is the best option for Dramisburg?
Seeing the knight's doubts, Robien smiled.

"Do you think that we just need to defend the city with peace of mind? Anyway, Miss Raya's troops are coming to support us, and there is nothing they can do to us."

The knight nodded: "Master Bode said the same thing when we were in the living room."

"This is the surest victory." Robien narrowed his eyes, "But what Tiny said at the beginning was right. Knight Raya doesn't lead many people. It is entirely possible for us to go out of the city to encircle and suppress us, not to mention our number is Three times as much as him."

"Then I'll have people prepare it in advance."

"Yes." Robien added coldly, "But Knight Raya is a variable after all. Whether he can leave the city for siege or not is still a matter of debate. But if there is a chance, I will definitely capture the murderer who forced the late king to death! Anyway, you can arrange it. Keep an eye on everyone and let me know if there is any news. If I get the opportunity, I will seize it.”

The knight suddenly became energetic, he was very convinced of Robien.

Robin is a loyal and religious noble lord, and he is also smart. He can always figure things out clearly and convincingly alone.

Even if the enemy is the perfect knight of the kingdom, the opponent has never been defeated so far.

But none of the soldiers in Dramisburg fell into decline. This is related to Robien's unique personal charm.

And Xu Siling of Dramisburg looked at the executioner soldiers setting up camp.

He sat somewhere quietly thinking about ways to break Fort Drami.

Xu Siling certainly didn't expect that Robin from the castle would help him with a lot of brainstorming.

Robin's guess was correct, Mayfair cares about reputation, and Mayfair relies on the reputation of the people to make a living.

But that doesn't mean that Fei'er still cares about reputation so much this time.

Robin couldn't have guessed that the reason why Xu Siling and Fei'er wrote to the Downs brothers and spent three days running for their lives was not for fame at all.

Simply let the Downs brothers become bait.

The noble viscounts of the Earl of Raya are nothing but fish and shrimp.

Whoever eats the bait should be caught by him and Mayfair.

The goal of Xu Siling and Fei'er was territory, never reputation.

Robin's guess was correct, but his idea was wrong from the beginning, and it could only be wrong from the beginning.

Xu Siling did have the idea of ​​calling Fei'er to add more manpower to help with the siege, but at least not now.

He already had a plan in mind that he could try, but there was still another bait to appear to make the plan more perfect.

While Xu Siling was thinking, Terry arrived.

"Xu, one of the scouts came back, Jerome Downs, Tiny's younger brother, was taken in by the nobles of Lupo Town!"

Xu Siling's eyes lit up.

The plan to try to break Fort Drami was perfect! (End of chapter)
