February 19th, after confirming that Horn and others had withdrawn to Piana Fortress, the Central Army officially stationed in Fishing City.
At this time, even Jeanne had to admire Horn's keen sense.
They arrived but did not attack, just waiting for the rear to transport the spring cannons over.
Most of the empire's city walls are constructed according to the standards of the cold weapon era, which simply means tall and thin.
For cold weapons, this is an insurmountable tall wall.
For spring cannons, tall means lever arm, thin means fragile and shaky.
Especially Fishing City, intentionally built its walls extremely high (25 meters) to defend against enemy siege towers.
According to Jeanne's experiments at those border fortresses, three days is essentially enough to blast open the walls of Fishing City.
The vampires from Piana Fortress would not have time to support before the city breaks.
Unexpectedly, Horn actually ran a day early, saving quite a bit of effort.
