Chapter 379 Maple Leaf City is empty?(2/2)

family!"
Boris said it with certainty.
Nalant seems to have some truth. On the way here, the nobles were all imagining the wealth in the city, as if the wealth was already at their fingertips!
Then he looked towards the battlefield on his side and the battlefield of the king and others, and indeed saw that all the siege vehicles were pushed to the front of the team.
These siege engines are the siege equipment built these days.
The height of the siege vehicle is the same as the city wall, and the overall shape is square, resembling an oversized chimney.
It is made entirely of wood, and the surface of the wooden shell is specially covered with thick cowhide as fire protection.
And inside this siege vehicle is the staircase, which is similar to the staircase in the building in the previous life.
When the time comes, the siege vehicle will be pushed to the edge of the city wall, and the guards will be able to climb up from the inside with the help of the siege vehicle's shell protection.
When you climb to the top, there is a platform. When the front baffle can be lowered, it can be placed directly on the city wall.
When the baffle was lowered, a wooden bridge was formed, through which soldiers could continuously rush to the top of the city.
This siege vehicle is safer and faster than the one without protection.
In four days, the Agate Principality had only built more than 20 aircraft. Now that they are all displayed, it is estimated that the king really has the intention to complete his victory in one battle!
Thinking of this, Nalant subconsciously raised his telescope and looked at the city wall.
Speaking of which, he felt vaguely strange these days, even though when they were filling in the river, the attacks in the city continued.
But in the next two days, he found that the attack frequency of the large trebuchet gradually became smaller.
Even the attack frequency of small trebuchets seems to be weakening.
Of course, because he was busy directing his subordinates to cover the river filling team in the past few days, Narant had no time to think about it in detail.
But at this moment, when he raised the telescope and looked carefully again, he suddenly discovered a shocking result.
"No way!"
"What's wrong Narant?"
"Boris, the small trebuchet on the city wall looks wrong!"
"It looks wrong? What's wrong with the small trebuchet? Isn't it covered with a tarpaulin and hasn't been lifted yet?" Boris replied subconsciously.
"No, Boris, see for yourself!" Nalant shook his head.
With that said, Nalant directly handed the telescope to Boris.
This guy was also curious about the telescope two days ago. He took it from Nalant and tried it. Now that he took it over, the telescope can be used normally.
"Hey, something really doesn't seem right!" Boris looked at it with a telescope for a moment and then said in confusion, "Narant, why does this trebuchet seem so much flatter from our side?"
"Boris, there are no trebuchets under most tarpaulins at all. You also have two in your own castle, and their appearance should be very clear!"
Although these days when the truce comes at night, the Northern Principality will cover the trebuchets with tarpaulins, but today Nalant found that it was different.
Viewed from the side, the shape does not look like the shape of a trebuchet, because it is not long enough and the outline of the throwing arm cannot be seen.
Of course, if this was from the front, it would definitely not be visible. Therefore, Nalant was also responsible for assisting the attack from the side today, and he discovered a clue after careful observation.
After a pause, Nalant continued to Boris: "Also, did you have the impression yesterday that the number of their large trebuchets fired has also decreased!"
Nalant frowned and thought about it for a moment. On the first day, the large trebuchets of the Northern Principality fired at least twenty or thirty yuan of projectiles.
Then it gradually decreased, until yesterday, it seemed that only five or six aircraft launched a wave of attacks.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He originally thought that the defenders of Maple Leaf City were trying to save stone bullets, but now there are even fewer small trebuchets. This is probably not just to save money.
Ammunition.
"Narant, what do you think they are planning to do? Are they planning to give up resistance?" Boris couldn't figure it out.
"I'm afraid they are ready to abandon this city!" Nalant made a bold guess.
"This... why did they abandon the city? Besides, weren't there guards on the city wall?" Boris was immediately confused.
Nalant did not answer, but raised the telescope again.
Because there is more than two miles of land, it is still not easy to clearly see the expressions of the guards on the city wall.
At this moment, there were not many guards on the city wall, but they were all wearing Maple Leaf City guards' smocks and guarding the wall.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Nalant discovered a clue.
In order to see it better, he immediately ran forward at least.
"Hey, Narant!" Boris was about to stop him when he saw this, but Narant had already run out.
Nalant's actions immediately attracted the attention of the nobles on this side.
"What is that bastard going to do?" The eldest prince also noticed the situation. When he saw Nalant's figure, he immediately became angry.
He was assigned to this side battlefield as the commander today.
Of course, his command was only conveyed to the people on the side after receiving the order from the king's horn.
In addition, it serves as a supervisor to suppress the battle and ensure that these vassals and small nobles will not retreat in the face of battle.
But now Nalant ran forward without saying a word, and the eldest prince was naturally not happy.
"Catch him up and bring him here. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then send him to the king!"
Soon, ten Iron Guards cavalry responsible for protecting the eldest prince were sent out.
Nalant rode his war horse and approached the city wall 1,500 meters away, and continued to use his telescope to check the situation of the city wall.
"No weapons!" After looking at it, Nalant found the problem. All the soldiers of the Northern Principality on the city wall were empty-handed.
Tap! Tap!
At this moment, the Iron Guards cavalry sent by the eldest prince also arrived in front of him.
"Your Excellency, His Highness the Great Prince asked us to take you over to see him!"
"Okay!" Nalant was also preparing to report something.
Now that the war is imminent, he cannot leave the team and can only report to the eldest prince, the nominal commander.
Through these clues, he got a scary result, that is, Maple Leaf City is already empty!
As for why Maple Leaf City was empty and why the Northern Principality gave up on its own initiative, that was not what he was thinking about.
Chapter completed!
