[King Castle]

[Outside Cavaliers]

"What's that?"

In the trench, Winters pointed to the fortress on the riverside and asked.

"Which?" Mason leaned over immediately.

"Those holes," Winters signaled to the senior.

Looking in the direction Winters pointed, Mason understood that the other party was asking about the shallow pit on the dike.

"I don't know what those pits are called," Mason smiled bitterly and explained quickly. "There were no pits around the enemy's fortress, but since they rushed directly to the top of the slope by Major Luosong's cavalry, they immediately dug the pits on the dam with a smaller slope, so I called them 'Sank Horse Pit'. Alas, the enemy is learning about war in war, but I am using the experience of the previous battle to command the next battle."

"No one is not preparing for the next battle with the experience of the previous battle," Winters turned his eyes to the castle in the distance, with a calm expression. "Isn't this learning about war in war?"

Hearing the senior's words, he re-examined the inclined embankments around the fortress and confirmed that the steeper inclined embankments were in the conventional style. Only a few relatively flat slopes were dug additional shallow pits.

Moreover, he made some new discoveries: there are no more shallow pits, no less, there are three rows in total, which look like a honeycomb, and the total width is estimated to be about two meters.

Two meters, a very delicate distance.

If it was on the flat ground, Winters was confident that he could easily ride the wind and cross over.

Even a war horse that is not as good as a Changfeng can jump over as long as you have received proper training and are not afraid of the ditches.

In other words, the two-meter-wide open ditch is a terrain worth adventure for the cavalry.

However, if the slope of the inclined dike is included, the risk will become very uncontrollable.

Winters placed himself in the position of the enemy commander. If he was in charge of the defense, he would dig another row or two rows of shallow pits, increase the width to three meters, and simply cut off the idea of ​​enemy cavalry directly rushing to the slope.

But the opponent only dug two meters - considering that there was no extra pit on the periphery of the fortress, Winters was sure that the commander who arranged these "grab pits" was deliberately using a trench that was risky but worth a try when necessary to lure his enemies into attack.

This style of calculating to the extreme makes Winters hate it.

"Over the other side," although he had learned the identity of the enemy commander from the letter, Winters still felt a little incredible, "Is it really Jansen Connellis?"

Mason replied without any confidence: "That's what the 'insider' who ran out of the city said.

"This minister - Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Front; Teacher Raymond Montecukoli, Artillery Director; and Major Flitz, Chief of the Military Control Commission.

"It is said that the people of the Kings secretly called them 'Three Mud Baja Carriages'. Because although there was also a Lieutenant Colonel William Lodwich, in fact, all the matters of big and small are decided by the previous three."

"It sounds like the style of Minister Conelisburn," Winters, who was counting the shooting mouth, commented casually.

Mason vaguely heard a little bit of personal grudges and asked: "Do you... know this minister?"

"Where are you?" Winters asked without comment, "Do you know this minister?"

"How could I know this minister?" Mason shook his head subconsciously, but he felt that his answer was not accurate enough, and hurriedly changed his words, "Of course I know this minister, but this minister probably doesn't know me."

Winters said without looking back: "I am the same as you. So do you think, do I 'know' Minister Conelisburn?"

Mason understood what Winters meant, but it made him even more puzzled, "Why do you feel like you have some opinions about this minister...?"

"Because he whipped me," Winters turned around, smiling, "and didn't apologize to me."

Mason was speechless, and corporal punishment was common in the Army Academy. It was a bit stingy to remember a whip in his heart. But at this time, it seemed very inappropriate to persuade people to let go of their "hate", let alone persuade people of Vinetta.

Mason changed the topic and asked more important things. He asked uneasily: "Chamberg...what do you think?"

What do you think?

Winters did not answer immediately.

Compared to the last time he "entered and left" the Kings Castle, the city defense of the Kings Castle has undergone earth-shaking changes.

If the original Zhuwang Castle New Town was a house with air leakage, not only was the gap in the wall blocked, but a new barbed fence was built, a drainage ditch was dug, and at least two thousand dogs were borrowed from the next door.

As for the Knights Fort alone, the location of the Knights Fort was originally the weakest link in the city defense of the new city.

John Jeska once taught Winters: "There are great questions at the seams of the map."

Winters' own perception is: "There are also great questions at the junction of the terrain."

At the northernmost end of the new city, the area between the river and the earth is soft and it is difficult to lay a solid foundation. Therefore, the new city's wall turned a corner here and turned eastward along the direction of the river, giving up a large river bank.

Moreover, it may be that the budget has been consumed almost the same, so the part of the city wall in Linjiang was not built with stone, but was rammed with soil between two wooden walls and finished it in a hurry.

So if there were no fortifications repaired by the Union Provincial People, Winters would choose this wall as a breakthrough.

Even if there is the existence of Knights Castle, it is not impossible to attack here.

However, the cost to be paid will be very high.

That's right, the cost.

Once the "cost" is started, the siege will naturally turn its attention to other areas of the new city, looking for a position where the "cost" is lower.

For example, Kings Castle, "Castle" Castle, Maggit Island, the old city...

This is a very rational idea, but the point is not here.

The point is that this feeling of being led by the enemy makes Winters instinctively uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell where it was uncomfortable, but he just felt awkward.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It seems that you are entering a small house covered with spider webs, with sticky spider webs hanging on your hands, on your face and arms, the lights are dim, and the eyes cannot see the existence of spider webs, but the annoying touch proves that they actually exist.

Winters felt this way.

But he couldn't tell Senior Mason.

He looked at Mason, the senior's face was pale and gray, showing exhaustion, and at first glance he was unable to get enough rest, and the severe dark circles were proof of it.

But those blood-scattered eyes had a pathological excitement, even neuroticism, which was because they were under too much pressure.

Even if Mason didn't say anything, Winters could feel that the senior had begun to fall into self-doubt because the battle situation at the Castle failed to make the expected progress.

Suspicion of oneself leads to self-negation, which leads to a vicious cycle.

Winters understands his senior very well because he has also fallen into this kind of self-doubt, or in other words, he always doubts whether his judgment is the best solution, and whether he has let others down.

Language is powerless in the face of this kind of emotion.

In the face of self-questioning, everyone can only survive on their own.

So Winters couldn't enlighten the senior because it was meaningless, which would make it worse.

He also had no way to directly express his discomfort of being "spider web-ridden" because it was just a vague feeling, and it was also possible that senior Mason would be even more painful.

"I am consistent with your judgment," Winters decided to discuss the matter, only talking about objective situations, not subjective feelings,"

Although the Cavaliers Castle is not big, it has a good defense and is not easy to chew. Go and see other places, first go and see Kings Castle, and then go and see Maggit Island.”

Mason nodded and turned to lead the way.
