Chapter 9 Trap (1)
In a conference room in Winchester City, Ella and her group were discussing the subsequent combat plan with a serious expression. In addition to Alfred and Ella, Ella also had Amy, Graheide and Dust participating in the meeting, while Alfred and seven or eight knights participated.
There was a map on the table, which was not very accurate, but it was barely useful. A knight marked several approximate positions on the map, pointing to them and reported: "This is all the places where the scouts discovered enemies so far. Bjorn's army had all arrived at the Winchester territory. However, from these places, they did not come to the town and did not know what they were looking for."
"There is no doubt that it is a source of water," said Alfred. "They went deep into the hinterland of England without authorization, and the first thing they lack was water. As long as the militias in each town continued to harass their supply lines, their food would be out of stock for up to one month. In addition, I guess they have not yet noticed my plan."
"Yes. It should have been unaware." A knight responded. "There are a large number of people's armed forces hidden along the way. Scotland and Ireland are attacking again. Even if they hear one of the messages, they have retreated now."
"But it is also possible that they know this, but they are still preparing to attack Winchester." Another knight analyzed, "The Swedish King brought not many people this time. The Black Death is in the air again. There are four elves on the opposite side. Before they lose food, Winchester is likely to lose."
As soon as he said this, everyone present began to become frowning. Some people sighed: "If I had known that there were four elves on the other side, I would not have adopted this kind of adventure plan. If we use the army to fight head-on, we may have been better."
"That would only make the war lasting and squander England's national strength in vain." Alfred scolded, "Our opponent is not just Bjorn. You must always remember that the claws of the Tianfang Empire have reached the Almany Federation, and are only separated from us by a strait!"
Having said that, most people still have little confidence. Someone whispered from the side: "It's really difficult to defend the city from the four elves..."
"If you just keep until they have no food, it's not impossible."
The people all turned their eyes to the person who spoke, Ella Cornelius Scipio Alfred, rushing to ask, "King of Sweden, do you have any solutions?"
"I analyzed the four elves-level abilities," said Ella. "First of all, it is Chimal Popoka. His magic makes his skin very hard, and it is difficult for swords to cut out injuries. In contrast, his strength is far less than that of Izkoyater and Tessomok. This ability is only suitable for defense, and it is probably not very useful when siegeing."
"Although that's what it means, is this an elf level after all?" said a knight. "When they dressed as a caravan and attacked the Knight King in the palace, the Knight King even used the invincible sword in the lake, but he still couldn't hurt Chimal Popoka. In the end, the Knight King threw away the sword and subdued him with wrestling."
"I remember he had one more ability," Ella said. "No matter which direction the arrows flying out would eventually fall on his shield, right?"
"Yes, I remembered it. Not only him, but his Eagle Warriors can do this." The knight replied, "Isn't this more troublesome? We have lost all the advantages of the range on the walls."
"In turn, let's take advantage of this. First shoot arrows to lure him to use this ability. When ordinary crossbow arrows are sucked by him, we secretly use the giant crossbow to send a sneak shot." Ella's hand drew an exaggerated stroke, "With a bang, the shield was taken away with everyone."
Dust squirted out with a "poof" and gave Ella a thumbs up.
"Is this really possible?" Alfred hesitated, "Average elf-level magicians can destroy stone city walls with one blow. For a comparison, the attack that cannot destroy the city wall may not be able to break Chimal Popoka's defense, right?"
"Why not? The most powerful crossbow machine in the Qiqiu Empire is that it can insert crossbow arrows into the stone city wall. I will draw the drawings for you later, and you will work overtime to make it! Just one is enough."
Alfred calculated the time: "It will take some time for Bjorn to find the water source, and then return to build a besieged camp...Wenchester has many skilled craftsmen, and if the drawings are not too complicated, they should be able to catch up."
"What should I do if Texosomok?" someone asked, "He can use his fists to knock down the city wall, and his attack power is very terrible! Just one person, the Knight King can still deal with it, but once the city wall collapses, the enemy's army will surge in!"
"The prerequisite for using his fists to collapse the city wall is that the city wall can reach the range his fists can! In other words, he must come under the city wall to launch an attack!"
"So that's it." Amy nodded, "Tesosomok was seriously injured before escaping, and it would not be very convenient even if he could go to the battlefield. We just need to set up some targeted traps, and even send someone to stare at him, pouring hot oil down wherever he moves. As long as he gets one of these traps, he will lose his combat power."
"You can try it." Alfred nodded repeatedly, "I will arrange for people in a while and dig hundreds of pits in front of the city wall first."
"But they actually don't have to attack the city walls." Someone said, "Izkoyater can hit the tunnel on the ground, and they can come in from the tunnel."
"Crawling in from the tunnel is not much faster than using a ladder. We have already known this trick in advance, just be careful and be careful."
"But we don't know where they will come out. How should we be prepared for this?"
"I know this." Graheide glanced at Dust, "It's like looking for people in the woods. Although the forest is big, people must need water, so we just need to look along the river. No matter where the troops drilled in through the tunnels, they would eventually run to support the siege. Just arrange traps in advance at the city gates, entrances to the city walls, and other places."
"It's not bad." Dust patted Graheide on the shoulder, "I like students who can learn from it and learn from it. I'll treat you to drink tomorrow."
Ella nodded: "Our goal is to capture Izkoyatel and then defeat the first wave of invading enemies. In this way, I think the enemy will never dare to invade with tunnels again."
"But Izkoyatel can make holes. If it's an ordinary pit, he will make holes when he falls in. What should he do?"
"It's very simple. Use the ocean fire on the hot air balloon. Use a closed container to place the pit, but there is a portion of it buried around the pit." Ella said, "Izkoyatel fell into the pit and would definitely want to break the hole and escape. This will break the container and the ocean fire will explode!"
