Chapter 193 The Widow Is Watching

Lynn easily won the chess game with the little demon of the Lannister family, which was not worth much joy. He looked at Tyrion, who looked lonely, left like a wilted eggplant.

But Lynn's eyes quietly looked to the north.

The widow looked at the camp outside the city in a busy and busy camp. Cavalry kept running out of the camp, messengers kept coming from the beach, and then ran out of the camp to the beach...

The widow looked at the coastline of the east coast. A array of thirty freight ships were arranged in straight lines, forming a straight front with iron chains. The figures on the ship flashed, there were not many soldiers, and the sailors were not wearing much thick armor. Instead, they were busy rotating and debugging each ship, stacking huge brackets.

The sea ship was five hundred meters away from the east gate of the widow, and the flags were waving. The heavy cavalry and the camps of the cavalry regiment led by Duncan were located at the north and south ends of the central axis of the city gate and the ship.

The north and south sentry towers that the widow looked at were just enough to monitor these two cavalry camps.

The Philinte soldiers in the castle looked leisurely, without any sense of urgency to fall into the battle.

The Gripen Legion sent only thirty sea-surface cargo ships that were not counted as the Shanghai Army, as well as two well-equipped cavalry.

Those hiding in the solid castle are not afraid of such formations at all.

It would be great if it was a confrontation, which means that Lynn's Gripen Legion was already stupid and they were helpless in attacking the castle.

As the commander of the Widow Guardian Army, Sir Kerry always felt that the probability was too small, so in the past two days, he had to send a large number of scouts to inquire about whether there were other husbands there.

When the news came, the Gripen Legion had indeed sent only two cavalry as the main combat troops. Sir Kerry's face was not happy, but full of anger.

Who do the Rothschilds look down on?

He had made up his mind to wait for the cavalry of the Gripen Legion to come outside the city to yell and scold them, and let the widow's strongest crossbow team swell their faces.

Cavalry sieges are ridiculous.

Unless the defenders in the city take the initiative to attack and engage in field battles outside the city with the enemy, they will have no chance of winning.

"Why don't we go to attack the camp? Those heavily armored cavalry would not be wearing armor at night. Kill them at night and give them a headache."

A small team leader under Sir Kerry made such a suggestion yesterday. Sir Kerry killed the rash team leader in front of the new Earl of Firint.

"What a joke? As long as you guard the castle, the enemy will naturally retreat. Why do you want to provoke them? Didn't you see the face of Earl Firent who was listening to the combat plan when he proposed it at that time?" Sir Kerry looked at the quiet and uninhabited area outside the city and thought angrily.

While waiting for news, Duncan's cavalry subordinates kept communicating with sea ships on the coast. Because the cargo ships on the sea were too heavy, they were very slow to transport.

Duncan has stepped up contact with the two cavalry camps in the north and south in the past two days.

When the sea ships were crossing each other with iron chains, the widows were looking out of the city and raided. The first phase of his cavalry was to prevent the defenses here from hindering the ships' collection work.

When subsequent military naval ships arrived on the coastline continuously and completed integration, Duncan, as the commander-in-chief of the siege, breathed a sigh of relief.

The widow's hope did not see through it, and Lord Lynn personally arranged the tactics for the Gripen Legion in this battle.

The white sunlight star flag on the black background also joined the battlefield from the north, and Count Harion Kastark brought his entire Kastark army from the city of Caho.

Behind the army, the women and children of the Kastark family also followed a few miles away.

Hallion Casta came to the camp of the costumed Knights on the north side of the east coast to meet Sir Duncan.

"Sir, according to my agreement with Lord Lynn, my Kastark soldiers have arrived. Can I know when we expect to launch a siege? I want to prepare my soldiers."

Hallion Castar speculated that the peace now was to accumulate strength for the future explosion. This time, no matter whether he defeated or lost, he would not have a good life. However, the difference was that he would not die if he defeated. His tribe members also had widows who could serve as a place to stay. He lost the city of Caho but the city was the affairs officer who managed widows.

The Kastark family, who had been defeated and moved out of Kaho City, probably had to go to a broken fishing village on the east coast to continue the family's incense.

Upon hearing this, Duncan held the knight on his waist expressionlessly and glanced at Count Harrion Castar, and replied calmly: "Today."

Hallion Casta was surprised, "Today? Have the reinforcements of the Gripen Legion arrived? Or are the city's hosts ready?"

"We are the only siege army, there will be no reinforcements, and there will be no internal support in the city, Your Excellency."

Duncan's calm expression did not convey confidence to Harrion Casta. After hearing this, Harrion was completely uneasy.

He finally guessed: "Have your soldiers dug up the tunnel?"

Duncan glanced at Harrion Casta. He was too lazy to play the puzzle and said straight: "No, Lord Earl, the Gripen Army plans to defeat the defenders head-on in this siege."

Hallion Casta's face twitched twice, his brain was blank, and he was almost fainting.

He spoke hoarsely and exclaimed in an incredible tone: "Strong...attack? Or frontal?"

As a weapon for siege, the "wild donkey" was widely used when Lynn attacked Hejiandi Twin City. This siege is actually a torsional siege, and its structure includes two parts: the bracket and the siege pole. Among them, the siege pole is fixed in the center of the bracket, with a leather pocket for projectiles tied at the top, and the lower end is inserted in a tightly twisted horizontal rope.

During operation, soldiers need to turn the winch first, pull the stone throwing rod to a horizontal position, and then put the stone ball in the bullet bag. When firing, the accumulated force will be released instantly and the projectile will be shot out. Usually, the range of the "wild donkey" can reach 400 meters, which can effectively destroy battlements and weak stone barriers.

However, such things do not pose much threat to the widow who has a thick wall of the city gate.

Compared with the castles in Hejiandi, which are made of mud-baked mud bricks, there are many stones in the northern border, and the castles here are mostly made of huge stones of hundreds of kilograms of heavy rocks. The siege siege machine is almost useless to attack larger castles in the northern border.

The siege war here is mostly carried out using "attachment-style" siege cars. The siege cars are made of hardwood or steel, and the wooden shell is covered with animal skin. Inside it, there is a siege hammer hanging from the frame. The heads of these siege hammers are cast from iron. If they hit the city gate rhythmically, they can quickly break the city gate.

However, siege cars are not suitable for castle wars near the coastline, because the castle exterior walls on the coastline often have deep moat protection.

As long as the suspension bridge is closed, the siege car will not be able to drive to the city gate.

Widow Hope is such a delicately designed castle.

Duncan ignored the despair of Halleon Casta, looked at the sea eastward with hope and confidence in his eyes. This did not come from a blind confidence in command.
