Chapter 17 The Siege of Constantineer (7)
"Where is the navy of the Island Republic? Why haven't the navy come yet? I have cleaned up these small boats that can only escape!"
After being disturbed several times, the Duke of Burgundy stomped his feet and shouted. That time, he even saw that the pirate ships were not carrying any army at all.
A civilian from an island republic of the army replied: "One part of our fleet is blocking the Black Sea Strait to prevent the support of the First and Second Royal Field Army; part of our support for the operations in the Peloponnese region; and part of our transportation of supplies to us, but it has not arrived yet..."
In short, the Island Republic cannot draw fleets to deal with these pirate ships north of the Black Sea Strait.
"Damn it, come and have 15,000 people. Come with me and pull out that camp!"
The attack on Constantineer slowed down again. The Duke of Burgundy led his team to walk for a long time and finally arrived at the bottom of the camp. But before he could give the attack order, his horse sank his front legs and fell into a pit.
"Damn it, is it that you are planning to catch wild boars in such a big pit?" The Duke of Burgundy crawled out of the pit in a dusty manner and shouted in anger: "Attack, attack me!"
But the Duke of Burgundy's attack was soon declared to be unsuccessful. These days, the camps of the Pirate Kingdom became increasingly strong. Although they were not as strong as Constantine, there were many pirates inside, and they were more brave than the defenders of the Seven Hills Empire, and they could not be captured for a while.
The place where the pirate ships were parked was a distance from Ella's camp. The Duke of Burgundy failed to attack the camp, and turned around and rushed to the shore, trying to destroy the pirate ships parked in the port - but the pirate ships saw the Duke of Burgundy pounce from afar and immediately set sail and ran away.
"Duke, let's set up a defense in this port?" asked a lord.
"What kind of defense is set up! This port is so far from the besieged camp and so close to the camp of the Pirate Kingdom. How many people are you going to use to defend? Are you not attacking Constantineer?"
“That fortification on our coastline…”
"What's the difference between drawing out ten thousand people to defend on land! We still can't attack Constantinier with peace of mind!"
This camp echoes Constantineer, like a pair of horns, which makes the Duke of Burgundy dilemma.
The Duke of Burgundy knew how to deal with this situation correctly. The Pirate Kingdom had many people and Constantine had few people. He should press his heavy troops to the camp of the Pirate Kingdom, leaving only a few soldiers to siege the city. After the camp was removed, he would continue to siege Constantine. But this time his attack on Constantine was relied on a sudden attack. If the attack on Constantineye was slowed down and the guards of the Qiqiu Empire returned by land, the situation of the battle would be unknown.
The Duke of Burgundy finally gave up the idea of pulling out the camp. He left all the soldiers to guard against Ella and led all the soldiers to besiege Constantineer. Unlike before, his soldiers set up other camps on land and coastlines. This would reduce the number of soldiers needed by the defense and put more soldiers into the siege of Constantineer.
But before the camp was set up, Ella launched a real attack with the pirates. The Duke of Burgundy's camp was built on the flat ground, and soon Amy led a team of pirates to rush in and set fire. When the Duke of Burgundy led reinforcements to support, the group of pirates had withdrawn. They rushed to put out the fire in the camp. Some lords chased after him, but many more fell into the dug pits.
"Lord... these pirates are too vicious, and there seem to be elf-level generals..."
Listening to the soldiers' descriptions and looking at the soldiers' miserable situation, the Duke of Burgundy was cold all over. Judging from the situation of this battle, these pirates had better combat capabilities than his soldiers. If he put all 20,000 people into the battle, he might be able to win. But if he continued to divide his troops, he would be very likely to be defeated by each one.
"Although he has the strength to fight head-on, he has taken such action..." The Duke of Burgundy finally determined Ella's policy, "Damn, these bastards are just to delay our time!"
At the same time, Ella's laughter came from the camp of the Pirate Kingdom.
"Hahahaha! How about Amy, just the fact that this army 'existence' can hold back the enemy's tens of thousands of troops!"
"But your Majesty, when will we really attack to break the siege of Constantineer..."
"What kind of siege is what the Imperial Guard should consider." Ella waved her hand, "Transfer our military orders and dig an additional pit of a thousand pigs on the road... No, dig another two thousand more!"
...
...
As time passed day by day, the Duke of Burgundy was at a loss when facing the defensive stance between the Pirate Kingdom and Constantineer, which formed a horn, the Duke of Burgundy was at a loss. Originally, the Pirate Kingdom was mostly infantry, and there were many cavalry among the coalition forces of the Almani Federation, and their mobility should be higher than that of their side. However, the Pirate Kingdom took advantage of the characteristics of Constantineer's sea-reaching and used the speed of mobilizing the troops, and mobilizing the troops exceeded them - the long ship with the world's largest speed, which was the most important tool for the Pirate Kingdom to dominate one side.
Finally, the fleet of supplies transported by the Island Republic came.
Upon hearing the news, the Duke of Burgundy rushed out of the tent, and without saying a word, the general of the fleet ran to see Ella's camp.
In the distance, the pirate kingdom's fast ships were continuously transporting supplies from the other side of the sea to Ella's camp.
"Can you slap these mosquitoes on the water to death?" said the Duke of Burgundy, pointing to the clutch. Although he tried his best to suppress his voice, his words still revealed a lot of hatred. "If you can't slap them, you can just drive them away!"
The navy general raised his toes and watched for a while, and then made a positive reply: "No problem. These ships are only suitable for transporting troops, not for naval battles. My fleet is enough!"
"Then when will you launch an attack?"
"There is no need to prepare for such a fleet. You can attack immediately."
The navy general returned to the besieged camp, took his fleet and rushed towards the place where the pirate kingdom was parked. The pirates were transporting supplies to the shore. When they saw an armed fleet coming, some people were so scared that they ran ashore in panic, while some people fled in panic.
"Burn the boat on the shore!"
With the general's order, the fleet of the Island Republic spewed out flames towards the dozen or so small boats docked on the shore. After unlocking the siege of the capital of the Island Republic, the ocean fire was already placed in most of the ships of the Island Republic. These flames quickly ignited the ships and caused a violent explosion in the water. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so small boats were trapped in the sea of fire.
"There are only a dozen small boats, and the results of this battle are not enough."
The general cast his sight from the sea of fire to the fleet fleeing in the pirate kingdom. Perhaps because he had too much material to be loaded and had no time to unload, the speed of these ships was not as fast as rumored.
The general was determined to win and waved his hand: "Catch up and expand the results of the battle!"
...
In the camp, Ella looked at the battle situation on the sea from afar.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that we could really catch the navy of the Island Republic." Amy said with some excitement.
