Henry Raspi looked at the city wall blankly, and his elite infantry was over. At this moment, the "comb wall" under the city wall was already full of his corpses. The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II on the top of the city lured the enemy to a distance of 20 to 30 meters below the city before firing. Almost no soldiers in the entire "comb wall" survived.

Most of the infantry soldiers under Henry Raspi, who were focusing outside the "comb wall", were waiting to enter, died in the process of running back. Especially the loud noise made by the "reincarnation cannons" on the top of the city when they attacked the stone throwers, scaring many of them to the wall. The blockage of the passage and the panic of the first time facing explosives made almost everyone at a loss.

In addition to the first English longbowman who ran back, there were less than 3,000 infantrymen who escaped, and everyone was injured. It can be said that the infantry of Henry Raspi, Duke of Thuringia, was completely defeated in the first battle.

King Henry III of John looked at him sympathetically, because no matter who saw that his army was slaughtered in a few minutes, leaving only more than 3,000 injuries, no one would be so shocked.

"Look, those bastards are out of town"

Apart from being shocked, he felt much better than others. At this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude, because if it weren't for his time in France, he had purchased large numbers of troops and horses, making his subordinates look like cavalry. Then today he would have to send people to participate in the siege. If that were the case, he would definitely have been wiped out.

He looked at the gate of Turin City, where many civilians and soldiers were pouring out. They had been ready for a long time, and the crowd quickly rushed into the corridors of the "comb walls". Obviously, the number of dead people outside the city was really big, and they had packed up for quite some time. Unfortunately, most of the stone throwing machines of the Pope's army outside the city had been destroyed at this time, and faced with the current tragic scene, no one wanted to continue to fight.

"It's up to them to clean up!"

Looking through the toy telescope, we could see that the people packed the weapons, armor, bows, arrows and other things they carried into the city. This gave Earl Artuva an idea, and he thought that there might not be many arrow branches in the city, otherwise they would not care about the arrows they shot.

This is true. Just facing the attack of 40,000 opponents, the defenders of Turin City used nearly 100,000 arrows. In addition to the corpses facing the main city of the Pope Army in front of him, there were also a large number of corpses under the other three walls. Although 100,000 arrows are not a big problem with the inventory of Turin City, the problem is that no one knows what the Pope Army will be outside.

Especially after today's attack, if there is at most one or two attacks, they may use the means of long-term siege. If that is the case, the materials in the city, especially the amount of food, will cause heavy pressure. There will be no shortage of arrow branches. After all, Zhao Fubo uses tools to easily break the logs and create arrow branches. But no matter how well prepared the warehouse, facing the many enemy troops outside the city, anyone who guards the city will feel that the supplies seem to be insufficient.

In order to deal with this war, the city confiscated all the food and implemented a strict rationing system. Everyone had to work to exchange for the food of the day. As for the food, it was often canned food with a lot of oil sent by Zhao Fubo, and a mixture of vegetables and flour that were cultivated in the city. Although the taste was not too good, the quantity was finally quite sufficient.

For example, most of the canned food sent by Zhao Fubo is canned mutton and pork. As for the noodles, there are dried noodles. They are not heavy and are very easy to transport. Some of the food consumption comes from the secret passage underground of Turin City. As mentioned earlier, the passage is a river. According to the agreement at that time, if it is outside the encirclement, some of the food will be sent from the passage at night. Although this is a drop in the water supply, the department is better than nothing.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged, have you seen it? Although they were quite prepared, they were afraid of our long-term siege. If that was the case, we could combine attacks with long-term siege. In addition, I suggest you send people to cut down some trees. I think we need more shields. If possible, we will make some shield cars that are the same width as those walls, and then all the infantry behind them will hold shields. In this way, our soldiers may suffer less damage to the city!"

Henry VII is another person who lost less to his subordinates today. Although he was also shocked by the lethality shown by Turin City, his shock has not yet made him completely stunned and unable to think.

"Well, I see Mr. Earl is right, but those small fortresses may have to be taken down. Without them, I think we won't be able to get close to the city wall, otherwise even if the soldiers climb the city wall, they will be shot to death by crossbows shot from behind."

The two of them decided their future strategy in front of these people who were completely stunned when facing the losses and the tragic battlefield. Although this matter had to be discussed by the kings and dukes in other camps, they thought they suffered as much losses and shocks as the others in this camp. If as expected, they should have no idea about the future tactics. In this case, Earl of Artowa and Henry VII became the winners of the Pope's army today.

Pope Innocent IV was completely shocked by the bloody and cruel battlefield. He never thought that the battlefield under the city of Turin would be so cruel. If we estimate the loss under the city walls here, the losses under the other walls would not be much different. With such consumption, more than 100,000 troops would probably not be enough. Therefore, for Pope Innocent IV, what he expected was that the letters that had been written could bring more troops.
