"Where is the navy of the island republic? Why hasn't the navy come yet? Clean up these small boats that can only run for their lives!"
After several interruptions in the siege, the Duke of Burgundy stamped his feet and shouted. That time just now, he even saw that those pirate ships did not carry any land troops at all.
A civil servant from an island republic accompanying the army replied: "Part of our fleet is blocking the Black Sea Strait to prevent the support of the 1st and 2nd Royal Field Armies; part of it is supporting the operations in the Peloponnese; and another part is transporting us The supplies haven’t arrived yet…”
In short, the island republic cannot spare a fleet to deal with these pirate ships in the north of the Black Sea Strait.
"Damn it, fifteen thousand people come and follow me to pull out that camp!"
The attack on Constantiniya 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 command to attack, his horse's front legs sank and fell into a pit.
"Damn it, such a big pit, are you planning to catch wild boars?" The Duke of Burgundy crawled out of the pit in disgrace and shouted angrily: "Attack, attack!"
But the Duke of Burgundy's attack soon failed. These days, the pirate kingdom's camp has become stronger and stronger. Although it is not as strong as Constantiniya, the number of pirates inside is large and braver than the defenders of the Seven Hills Empire. It cannot be captured for a while.
The place where the pirate ship is anchored is some distance from Ella's camp. The Duke of Burgundy failed to attack the camp, so he turned around and rushed to the shore, trying to destroy the pirate ships parked in the port - but those pirate ships saw the Duke of Burgundy approaching from a distance, and immediately ran away with sails.
"Duke, shall we set up a defense at this port?" asked a lord.
"What kind of defenses are there! This port is so far away from the siege camp and so close to the pirate kingdom's camp. How many people are you going to use to fortify it? Are you not going to attack Constantiniya?"
"Then fortify our coastline..."
"What's the difference between that and setting up defenses on land with 10,000 people! We still can't attack Constantiniya with peace of mind!"
This camp echoes Constantinier, like a pair of horns, which puts the Duke of Burgundy in a dilemma.
The Duke of Burgundy certainly knew how to deal with such a situation correctly. There are many people in the Pirate Kingdom, but there are few in Constantiniya. He should press heavy troops against the camp of the Pirate Kingdom, leaving only a few soldiers to besiege the city. Wait until the camp is dismantled before continuing the siege of Constantiniya. But his attack on Constantiniya this time relied on a surprise attack. If the attack on Constantiniya was slowed down and the Imperial Guards of the Seven Hills Empire returned from the land, the outcome of the battle would be unknown.
The Duke of Burgundy finally gave up the idea of uprooting the camp. He left one group of soldiers to guard the direction of Ayla, and led another group of soldiers to besiege Constantiniya. Unlike before, his soldiers set up additional camps on land and along the coast. This would reduce the number of soldiers needed for defense and devote more soldiers to the siege of Constantiniya.
But before the camp was set up, Ella led the pirates to launch a real attack. The Duke of Burgundy's camp was built on flat ground, and Amy quickly rushed in with a group of pirates and set it on fire. When the Duke of Burgundy arrived with reinforcements, the pirates had already withdrawn. They hurriedly put out the fire in the camp. Some lords chased after them, but many fell into the dug pits.
"Lord...these pirates are too vicious, and they seem to have elf-level generals..."
Listening to the descriptions of the soldiers and looking at the miserable conditions of the soldiers, the Duke of Burgundy felt a chill run through his body. Judging from the situation of this battle, the combat capabilities of these pirates are stronger than his soldiers. If he put all 20,000 men into battle, he might be able to win. But if he continues to divide his troops, it is very likely that they will be defeated individually.
"You obviously have the strength to fight head-on, but you take such action..." The Duke of Burgundy finally determined Ella's policy, "Damn it, these bastards are just trying to delay us!"
At the same time, Ella's laughter came from the pirate kingdom's camp.
"Hahahaha! How about Amy, just the fact that this army 'exists' can hold back the enemy's tens of thousands of troops!"
"But Your Majesty, when will we really attack to relieve the siege of Constantiniya..."
"How to solve the siege is something that the Imperial Guard should consider." Ella waved her hand, "Send my military order to dig another thousand pig-sized holes on the road... No, dig two thousand more holes. !”
…
…
As time passed, the Duke of Burgundy was helpless in the face of the horned defense of the Pirate Kingdom and Constantinier. Originally, the Pirate Kingdom had mostly infantry, while the Alemannic Federation's coalition had a lot of cavalry, so their side should have higher mobility. However, the Pirate Kingdom took advantage of Constantiniya's proximity to the sea and used fast boats for maneuvers. The speed of mobilizing troops actually exceeded them - the longship with the fastest speed in the world was the most important tool for the Pirate Kingdom to dominate.
Finally, the island republic's fleet transporting supplies arrived.
Upon hearing the news, the Duke of Burgundy rushed out of the tent with a puff of smoke, grabbed the general of the fleet without any explanation and ran to see Ella's camp.
In the distance, the Pirate Kingdom's clippers were transporting supplies from the other side of the sea to Ella's camp.
"Can you swat these mosquitoes on the water to death?" the Duke of Burgundy said, pointing to the clippers. Although he tried his best to suppress his voice, his words still revealed full of hatred, "If you can't shoot them to death, just drive them away!"
The admiral stood on tiptoes and watched for a while, and then gave a definite reply: "No problem. These ships are only suitable for transporting troops, not naval battles. My fleet is enough!"
"Then when can you launch an attack?"
"To deal with such a fleet, there is no need to prepare at all. We can attack immediately."
The naval general returned to the siege camp, took his fleet and rushed towards the place where the pirate kingdom parked its ships. The pirates were transporting supplies to the shore. When they saw an armed fleet approaching, some of them were so frightened that they ran ashore in panic, while others fled in panic by boat.
"Burn the boats on the shore!"
The general gave the order, and the fleet of the Island Republic sprayed fire towards the dozen or so small boats docked on the shore. After the siege of the capital of the Island Republic was solved, the Ocean Fire had been installed on the capital of the Island Republic. among some of the ships. These flames quickly ignited the ship and caused a violent explosion in the water. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so small boats were engulfed in flames.
"There are only about a dozen small boats, so the results are not impressive enough."
The general cast his gaze from the sea of fire to the pirate kingdom's fleeing fleet. Perhaps because they loaded too many supplies and had no time to unload them, 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!"
…
In the camp, Ella looked at the battle on the sea from a distance.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that we could really capture the navy of the island republic." Amy said excitedly.
"Yes." Ella nodded, "At this moment, the enemy's 20,000 army will become a turtle in an urn."
