Chapter 41 That's a trap
King Henry III of John agreed with Henry Raspie, Duke of Thuringia in front of him. Is it necessary to continue the war in front of him? But he cannot easily express this matter on his face. *** Despite this, the meaning of Henry Raspie, Duke of Thuringia, may as well listen to it more.
"Hisser Duke, do you think so? Tell me, what do you plan to do if the situation is so bad?"
Henry Raspie, Duke of Thuringia, shrugged and said nothing. Perhaps this was his intention to find King Henry III of John. It was clear that the Pope favored him was Henry VII, Duke of Thuringia, and Henry Raspie, because of his initial arrogance, had lost almost all his infantry. In a sense, there were no more troops in the direction of "Turin City" attacking now except for the English infantry.
"Hisser Duke, it seems that we all have to think of a solution, right?"
King Henry III of John was a little angry. Duke of Thuringia Henry Raspie, who had never thought of any way, came to find him. Could it be that he had any other way? King Henry III of John felt a little difficult to get on. In fact, he regretted not coming to participate in this expedition, but he had no excuse to leave here.
If Pope Innocent IV attacked as bravely as his own, then this matter would be a different matter. But on the battlefield, at least the attack under this wall was not his English soldiers attacking desperately! King Henry III of John thought, he might have to think of some way to drag this matter down. When reinforcements from other places arrived, his subordinates could also reduce casualties.
"Hisser Duke, what you mentioned is really no matter how correct it is. I have an idea. Maybe if you cut wood slowly, we will siege the city here slowly, so...!"
"This idiot!"
Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringian, looked at King Henry III of John, and spat fiercely. His purpose was to get the position of King of the German Kingdom. This goal made him only obtain after defeating the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. But now, if he continues to siege like this, even if he defeats the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, he will not make any contributions, and he will not be able to receive any reward.
His plan was to discuss with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, and everyone retreated together, so that the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II would lead his army to leave the strong city of Turin, which was the only way to defeat them. But obviously, King Henry III of John was not that smart, and he could not think of this method.
Just as he thought of these things, suddenly the sound of alarm came from the camp. The horn, the bronze drum and the loud shouts made the entire camp immediately become húnluàn. When he raised his head, he could see that in the sky, he could fly into the camp with arrows with flames. Duke of Thuringian Henry Raspi was shocked and immediately got under a large cart nearby.
He knew very clearly who was attacking. It was the army led by His Majesty Conrad IV. In the "Turin Offensive and Defensive War", they were the army responsible for harassing outside the city. Almost every night, they would perform this. But they were harassing his men a few days ago, but they didn't know why they thought of coming here today.
Not far from the camp, several fires were burning underground. Some people were constantly adding firewood to it to make the flames more vigorous. Groups of cavalry flew across the fire like flying. When they left, the arrows on the pulley bow in their hands had already ignited. As they ran, they immediately spread their strings and shove, and the long arrows flew into the camp in a mess. Because there were dozens of fires, there were about 100 arrows in the camp at one time.
As the rockets increased, some vehicles and tents in the camp began to burn. It was obviously the first time that the attacked camp encountered such a thing. The soldiers shouted and ran around, carrying buckets and other objects to put out the fire. Some cavalry were gathering together, obviously intending to chase them out for battle.
"These idiots!"
It was not until the last row of rockets in the sky that Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringian, came out from under the cart. Such an attack was only a short while, and it was only a thousand rockets. He had encountered such an attack several times, but the time and direction of the attack were different. Each time there were dozens of fires, and then the light cavalry on both sides jumped past. In just a few seconds, they would finish about a thousand rockets and then disappear into the darkness.
Of course, this will not cause any more losses to the camp, but it will burn a few tents and destroy a few big trucks. But the important thing is not to chase them, because there must be some softer ground in the direction of them. Those cunning guys will open some pits underground or lay some tripping ropes. If you are not careful, you will be fooled by them and then pay dozens or even hundreds of casualties. And they also have some terrible things that will explode when the cavalry chased them.
Of course, it is not a big camp for tens of thousands of troops, but who can stand it if you make such a struggle every day! Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, felt that he had already caused neurasthenia to cause neurasthenia.
At this time, the big mén in the camp opened, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed to the places where the fire was lit. Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringian, came to the edge of the camp and looked out. The fires were still burning extremely vigorously, and with the light of the fire there, the cavalry chasing out could be vaguely seen. As for the attackers, they had already run away at this moment.
Just there, there are some landmines made by fire on top of several wooden stakes. Unlike other landmines, it has a timed fuse. The reason why it is placed on the top of the wooden stake is for better lethality.
It is said that the more the battle is fighting, at first Conrad IV just attacked with rockets with his men. Then, when Conrad IV attacked, he dug some traps and arranged some tripping ropes. According to what Zhao Fubo told him, the harassment was to cause unlimited trouble and continuous losses to the enemy. Finally, he used these timed mines found from the supply base by the river.
