Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 88 Cavalry Counterattack

While the peasants in the city were eating, the Sienese soldiers in the city were also hurrying to enjoy their lunch.

Consul Petrucci has been on the southeast turret ever since the civilians started gathering in the morning, and he did not leave at noon.

The Consul, who expressed his poor appetite, refused the meat and continued to observe the situation after eating only a little bread.

The consul was a very good city guard commander 20 years ago, so now he has taken over the command of the turret.

The damage to the moat in the morning was minimal, but Petrucci was still worried, because the number and combat effectiveness of the enemy cavalry exceeded his predictions, and now the city of Siena has been completely cut off from the western coast port.

The "Hand and Half Sword" mercenary group from the war-torn areas of Germany may not have good horses, but their organizational ability and discipline are far superior to their Italian counterparts. In the past few days, they have captured several people who came out of Siena and waited for an opportunity. The messenger who communicated in the direction of Lychria by sea.

The French side could not get the accurate situation of Siena City, and the Republic of Siena could not provide the support needed by the French army after landing. Coupled with the dominant position of the Spanish Navy, it is hard to imagine that the Duke of Bourbon would take huge risks to support.

Since Siena is unlikely to receive direct assistance from France, it must rely on the city defense until the French army achieves results in the north.

Consul Petrucci decided to take a more active approach instead of just using bows and magic missiles for defense in the afternoon.

When the peasants who had finished their lunch outside the city once again carried their soil sacks and were ready to set off, two hundred Siena police cavalry and soldiers in the turret

Two hundred "Eight Towns United Insurance Team members" are also ready to attack, and these 400 people are all the cavalry in Siena at this time.

Consul Petrucci is convinced that he must either do nothing, or invest all his strength in a decisive attack to completely destroy the morale of the civilians. If there is no result after being massacred and the commanders outside the city continue to oppress, then it is very likely The peasants will choose to rebel, although their damage to the Roman army must be very small, but at least the Roman soldiers can only fill the river by themselves.

"Okay, slackers, take your bags. What are the bows and arrows and magic missiles at the top of the city? Your Excellency the archbishop is kind and generous. What's the point of living for decades after spending your whole life eating? Well, don't you I don’t want to have more land of my own. Think about it, you don’t need to pay the landlord’s rent, you only need to pay [-]% of the royal grain every year, and you have your own cattle. You don’t have to let your wife and children follow you to death. If you want such a good day, fight hard." Boss Silica once again gave the first group of civilians a little encouragement, after all, this group suffered the most in the morning, and more than half of the casualties were borne by them.

This group of civilians rushed towards the moat one after another, but the revolving crossbow on the wall still didn't say a word, only the sparse bows and arrows shot and wounded several civilians, and even the magic missiles did not appear.

It's a pity that the achievements of this group of civilians are still not great. After all, the memory of the morning made most people very panic. A lot of soil was piled up on the edge of the moat.

The previous small bosses of the first group were all executed, so the boss of Silica took out several small bosses from other groups and put them into the first group, including Kailar who was also transferred to the first group. His performance this time Still not bad, successfully brought back a wounded man, with the full body equipment, the threat of those bows and arrows is not great.

Kailar's luck is also very good, and the next second group of civilians is very dangerous.

Consul Petrucci's intention was to let the first batch of civilians pass through in the afternoon, paralyze the enemy, and severely hit the second batch of civilians.

Although he was still dissatisfied with the peasants in the first group, Ladislaus decided not to punish them. Except for the peasants who lost the dirt half a distance away, they were pulled out and whipped by the observers, and everyone else got a reward. A tag, two for the wounded, and one silver coin for the wounded.

And none of the peasants died in this round-trip, and an optimistic atmosphere spread among the peasants. Several peasants in the first group eagerly asked to continue to participate in the second round-trip, wanting to earn more food, Ladislau The rations provided by Si can only keep people from starving to death. In order to make their wives and children feel better, brave civilian husbands can voluntarily participate in this dangerous round trip several times, including Kailar who was originally lucky.

But Ladis Slaus was not infected by this atmosphere.

After all, Consul Petrucci hadn't directly commanded a battle for many years, and he showed a slight flaw.

Ladislaus said to the accompanying Machiavelli: "It seems that your suggestion is very correct. It is indeed necessary to carry half a sword. Now the few mages on the city wall should have saved a round of spell slots and are ready to respond. Wait for the cavalry to strike."

Machiavelli was also satisfied with his sovereign's observation ability, and he complimented him sincerely: "Your sensitivity is really remarkable, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

"You predicted yesterday that Petrucci would never stand by and watch us destroy the moat. If it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't have let the half-handed swords prepare in the woods." Ladislaus and Machiavelli, after praising and praising himself, sent old John to contact Captain Kessell-Witing and get him ready to strike.

Of course, there is no need to tell the second batch of civilian husbands who will be used as bait for all these responses.

They are still full of unrealistic optimism, unaware that what they are about to embark on is the most dangerous journey today.

Ladislaus didn't notice Kailar in the team. Even if he saw it, it was impossible not to let him take risks just because of a little appreciation. This was the reward that Ladislaus paid for his appreciation.

Kailar was still standing at the back of the line. Following the order of the boss Sirica, he started with hundreds of other peasants. He already had a little experience and would wait until more than half of the distance passed before exerting his strength to reduce the number of people as much as possible. time at risk.

However, this time when he walked two-thirds of the distance and was about to speed up, he suddenly heard a tense sound that frightened him. Immediately after this sound, the terrifying crossbow shot again.

The rotating crossbow started shooting again.

However, the ranks of the peasants had to be evacuated much more than in the morning. Although the Roman soldiers repeatedly emphasized the benefits of evacuating the formation, at the beginning these peasants still huddled together like weak chickens, and the crowd always gave individuals safety. feel.

However, after going back and forth several times, all the civilians realized that huddling together would only make it easier for the enemies on the top of the city to target, and gradually they were able to consciously keep a certain distance.

They all learn very fast, after all the exams are so fast and tough.

So this time the rotating crossbow didn't kill a few people.

But at the same time as the spinning crossbow fired, the suspension bridge on the turret was also lowered, and hundreds of cavalry came out in a single file.
