Chapter 140

"Maybe we should send a few people into those small fortresses and take a look!"

King Henry III of John put down the telescope and felt confused about what was happening in front of him. - If there were no soldiers stationed in those small fortresses, why should they build them in one go? Then there is only one explanation, that is, the Pope's army came too fast, and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II did not have time to arrange an army in it. Thinking of this, he felt a little joy in his heart. If this is the case, then they had taken a big advantage.

However, when he spoke this idea, Henry VII mercilessly shattered his fantasy.

"Your Majesty, I think your opinion may be... Well, Your Majesty, I have some unwise opinions, but I don't know if I should tell you!"

The relationship between King Henry III of John and Henry VII was much better at this time. When speaking, both sides were also much more polite and dared. This made King Henry III of John very happy because he was originally a relatively simple person and often didn't like to make things too complicated.

"Ah, my friend, just say what you think, I think you will receive my respect no matter what kind of opinion!"

Henry VII looked around and saw that there were many people following both of them. So he got closer and his voice was quite small.

"Your Majesty, maybe you have forgotten. We suffered a lot in the Alps. Although we didn't have many days, we walked for a long time. So he must have known that we were here, and I'm sure there must be some horrible names in those small fortresses!"

While the two were talking, the German Duke of Thuringia, Henry Raspi, came down to them with his hands.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Majesty the Pope, let us prepare to launch an attack. I want to know what you think about it?"

Although Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, was attracted by what Henry VII said, the position of the king of the German king, he was not a stupid person. Although he was eager to make some contributions in front of the pope, he also did not want to lose too much of his own manpower.

Henry VII saluted him in a pretentious manner, and then slowly expressed his opinion.

"Sir, in this way, I can send 100 Templars as the vanguards of your troops, who will come up to the walls before your soldiers. Then guard those places for your soldiers to enter the city. I think with these brave and fearless Templars, this attack will likely be a great success."

Although Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, was a little dissatisfied with it, the Templars were indeed people who were not afraid of death. Perhaps it was because of their material that they were invincible.

"Thank you, your Highness, with these fearless Knights Templars here, I think we can definitely destroy the city walls smoothly!"

Earl Atouva was probably the most cunning of the few people. He spread his hands and pretended to be regretful when he spoke.

"I'm really sorry, my men are all cavalrymen, so I will gather them together. As long as you and your men take down the wall, we will immediately go in through the city gate and give you and your men the greatest support!"

King Henry III of John had to admire Count Artowa's long-term vision. At first he was a little confused about why Count Artowa had to try his best to dress up all his subordinates as knights before setting off. Now he understood that it was not to consume too much of his power in the city wall. As we all know, attacking the city wall can be said to be the most laborious and most casualty in the siege.

As the Count Artowa finished speaking, King Henry III of John knew that he could no longer remain silent.

"His lord, I will send 1,000 infantry and 1,000 longbowmen. You know that my subordinates have suffered too much in the Alps, so for the time being, my subordinates must keep the camp safe, so I beg you to let those infantry attack the city walls first. Of course, the dispatch is always yours, the brave king of the German kingdom!"

Henry Laspi, Duke of Thuringian, was full of disappointment. He knew that King Henry III of John and Count Artowa, in front of him, did not want to send more power to fight for their glory. Relatively speaking, the 100 Templars of Henry VII would be more useful. Duke of Thuringian, Henry Laspi, had already made plans. He planned to use 10 knights to lead 100 soldiers to form the first person to climb the city. After all, the real casualties, after actually climbing the city wall, when fighting with the defenders with a huge gap in strength. If all these 1,100 combatants climbed the city wall and they also stood firm, then there would be no big casualties if their own people went there.

"Thank you for your help, I believe I will express my gratitude to you with success!"

After saying that, he didn't want to talk to these cunning guys anymore, he had to arrange the matter of fighting. Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, could get the approval of the pope and personally wear a crown for him, then this would be a special honor. For this reason, he had prepared some price to pay. He collected his generals and told them his intentions.

"I want ten thousand soldiers to be prepared, and they will arrive at the city with the help of a stone thrower. But the most dangerous place is for the English infantry and the Templars to go first. Don't rush into the city, just grab the city gate. The enemy in the city, let the French soldiers of the Earl of Artova enter first, but our cavalry must also be prepared. Follow them, they fight and we... our cavalry will clean the battlefield!"

Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, knew that his infantry might suffer a lot of casualties, but as long as he could get the wealth of the city, no matter who it was, he could probably make up for his own losses. Therefore, he specially asked his knights to be prepared. The reason why he did not send the knights into the city was that those guys were so proud that they were so proud that they were disdainful to rob the wealth of the civilians.

Relatively speaking, it would be easier to do this by cavalry who did not have much sense of honor. With the formulation of the offensive strategy, the horns in the Pope's army began to ring, and the infantry in the brigade began to gather and line up near the stone thrower.
