Chapter 149 What a blessing

Amina's cold expression changed constantly under the light of the searchlight like black and colored films. This was enough to allow the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II to see her face clearly and fully understand that what she said made sense.

"Your Majesty, we can completely let these small fortresses attack. The small fortresses will do their best to attack those who have entered the range of killing tonight. I observed that they seemed to want to tear open the gap near the city wall, which would indicate that they would also get enough siege equipment tomorrow, so we would have the opportunity to destroy them before these siege equipment would work.

Without these equipment, they can only pay more casualties when siegeing the city. Tonight we keep the secret of the reincarnation cannon, so tomorrow when they attack with all their strength, we can destroy their siege equipment. This way, even if they make it importantly, it will take longer!"

Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II realized that Amina's words made sense. After all, the defense of Turin City mainly lies in delaying time. Whether the Popes outside the city is not very meaningful. As long as they are attracted here, as long as Zhao Fubo confiscates the Pope's family, the Pope, who has no wealth and no soldiers, will truly compromise and truly achieve his goal of ending the civil war in the Holy Roman Empire.

Moreover, if the Pope is arranged in Constantinople in the future, the Pope will never be able to interfere in the internal affairs of the Roman Empire again. Of course, one is the interference of religious affairs. Because the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II understood that Zhao Fubo would never let any scholar go. Therefore, although he was a little reluctant to leave those "small fortresses" that had put a lot of effort into it, especially the "Caesar's continuous shooting crossbow" made in bronze.

"Okay, if those small fortresses cannot stick to, we will give up. But tell them, if possible, to tear Caesar back. Installation on the city walls, or anywhere else will be useful!"

"Yes, your majesty!"

The officer who had been waiting for his order bent down and accepted the order and ran to pass the order. At this time, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II nodded in gratitude to Amina. He couldn't help but admire Zhao Fubo. He didn't understand how a woman like Amina was conquered by Zhao Fubo.

At this moment, the Pope's stone throwing machine outside the city hit the peak of the "small fortresses". From the city wall, it can be seen that a large number of stone throwing machines were burning with "asphalt bombs". As the stone throwing machine rotated, the "asphalt bombs" flying in the air fell around the "small fortresses" as if they were summoned by a magician. Several lit "small fortresses" stood in the field like candles.

I looked carefully at the distances of the stone throwers in the small fortress. Although the target was so bright at night, the medium-sized stone throwers with a range of 350 meters were all in the opponent's military camp at this moment, and the maximum range of the "reincarnation cannon" that almost surpassed the walls of the Turin City. Not to mention the accuracy of the shells, if the opponent figured out the limit range of the reincarnation cannon, it would be a big and small trouble.

At this moment, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II had only one pity in his heart, but it was no longer a pity that had been struggling with the "small fortresses". Instead, the "Caesar's continuous shooting crossbows" installed in the "small fortresses". Since he participated in the first war, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II did not remember when he had seen such a weapon of war. If Zhao Fubo had not had the strong armor, their sharp rifles, or even the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II wanted to say that if he had enough "Caesar's continuous shooting crossbows", then no one would be afraid in this world.

In particular, what made him feel glorious was that the "Caiser's Crossbow" was an evolutionary variety from ancient Roman weapons. According to past records, foreigners specially created this thing to confirm its existence was the pride of the Italians. Unfortunately, it ended up in Zhao Fubo's hands, but the power of this thing was indeed terrible.

Sometimes the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II thought that if he made some big carts with four horses and installed these "Caesar's continuous shooting crossbows" in a great power, what kind of advantages would it have on the battlefield? One thing that is certain is that if you simply lead the knights, you should click on the large cart array equipped with the "Caesar's continuous shooting crossbows" is probably a kind of act of seeking death.

This is certainly a matter of certainty, because in World War I, the Marks machine gun with 600 rounds per minute, created a battle example that killed tens of thousands of people in one day. Although the "Caiser's continuous shooting crossbow" has a far lower firing rate than machine guns, the same reason can make them a leading weapon in this era.

This reminded the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II of the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow". Although he did not know how to solve the problem of fuse, he knew that if the arrows could be fired in a series of ways, the shells could also do this. Although he was sure that the weapons made by his craftsmen based on the "Caesar crossbow" would never reach the range and power of the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow", if they were made and used with the "Caesar crossbow", it would not be too difficult to restore the glory of the entire Roman Empire back then.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this matter, that is, Zhao Fubo allows him to complete it. It is false to say that he is not afraid of Zhao Fubo. Although the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was not afraid of competing with Zhao Fubo and who was stronger in the conspiracy, he was afraid of Zhao Fubo's equipment that was extremely powerful and undefensive. For example, the defensive conditions in Turin City that made the Pope's army outside the city touch the bloody head. If he faced the Song Dynasty Yulin Army, even if there were all the 2,500 soldiers under Zhao Fubo, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II did not think he could win.

After all, if the other party is a thousand meters away, he can destroy the entire city defense, and then advance 500 meters, directly blowing up a small half of the city's ruins. Although there should be no problem with escaping, the city will definitely not be able to keep it.

"This is really a kind of luck. Fortunately, he is my son-in-law, otherwise..."

Zhao was observing the battlefield and watching the enemy troops who fell to the ground one after another under the "Caesar's crossbow shooting", the more he was glad that he had chosen the right camp.
