30. Raid
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, more than a dozen vigorous figures were moving rapidly.
Their steps were extremely light, and they still had heavy shields such as the half-body shield and spears made of fine iron, but all this did not affect their speed and shape in the slightest, and they did not even make any sound during their running, which was a very strange thing.
When they arrived at the established location, the dozen or so Northland barbarians quickly pounced and lay on the ground in a neat manner, except for a slight dust and a slight falling sound, which did not cause much sound fluctuation in this silent night.
The Northland barbarians threw themselves to the ground and waited for a full few minutes before they began to creep forward cautiously. But their movements were very subtle, and they climbed forward for a short distance almost every few minutes, and they almost did not attract anyone's attention in this dim night, unless there was a moonlight shining down, but looking at the dark clouds at the moment, I am afraid that tonight is really a dark and windy night.
If someone is looking down from above at this moment, and their eyesight is good enough, then they can find that around Baron Lonnis's camp, countless Northland barbarians are gradually sneaking closer. Although these Northland barbarians are scattered and do not seem to be particularly numerous, in fact they have completely surrounded Baron Lonnis's camp.
In this encirclement, the members of the core high-end combat power such as Sean, Cecilia, Sephaneo, and Rena did not gather together, but divided into three parts and located around the entire camp. If it weren't for Cecilia's almost zero hand-to-hand combat ability, the four of them could actually form four attack arrows and launch a full-scale attack from all sides of the camp.
However, it is not necessarily beneficial to change to three main forces to attack, at least according to the conventional tactics of siege warfare, it is also a good choice to encircle three without one. In any case, William's strategic purpose was only to capture Baron Lonnis alive, kill the master of the silver pinnacle by the way, and crush the heavy cavalry force from the front. In addition to the first of these three goals, which must be achieved, the last two are basically dispensable.
Sean glanced up at the arrow tower in the camp, silently judged and calculated the wind direction and speed, and finally pulled out the longbow in his hand. And with Sean's movements, the two Northland barbarians standing next to him also drew their longbows and aimed at the guards in the arrow tower.
There are nearly thirty arrow towers in the whole camp, except for fifteen of them located at the edge of the camp, which can be thoroughly monitored from all directions to the camp area of 300 meters, and the other fifteen arrow towers are distributed in the camp, judging from the layout of these fifteen arrow towers. It also happens to be possible to monitor the situation in the entire camp. To some extent, Lonnis's layout of the camp can indeed be regarded as impeccable, at least completely occupying the advantages of location, people and people.
It's a pity that tonight he is destined to lose the protection of the heavenly time.
Not to mention three hundred, in such a dimly lit environment. Even if you stand on the arrow tower, you can see the situation from thirty meters away, which is already good.
And at the moment. The 500 Northland barbarians assigned by William had completely lurked to the position of only fifty meters away from the camp. As long as they eliminated the guards on the fifteen arrow towers on the periphery, they would be able to go further, but the battle plan would end there. Because through these days of observation and stepping on the spot, whether it is Sean, Cecilia, and Rena, it is clear that it is completely impossible to enter this camp by relying on the hidden way. Not to mention the all-round monitoring of the other fifteen arrow towers in the camp, just the patrol in the camp, it can be said that there are no blind spots and flaws, and there is no need for even secret posts.
Even a player like Sean who is good at raiding. Even treating this camp as a complete replica, he couldn't find any entry point to break through. So after some discussion, the final plan was only one way to raid.
Of course, if it can be done without being detected, then there is no need to raid.
Airplanes!
Sean's right hand holding the tail feathers of the arrow suddenly loosened, and the bowstring let out a soft tremble, and the arrow shot out suddenly!
……
The size of the arrow tower in the camp is not large, only slightly larger than the average guard tower, but considering the space for shooting and dodging, such an arrow tower can only accommodate three defenders. However, in the entire kingdom of Dabiang, all the nobles knew that Lonis was good at training and commanding cavalry battles, so naturally there would be no archers or other types of troops under his command, and these defenders who were responsible for monitoring on the arrow towers were just "part-time" logistics troops.
At this moment, one of the defenders looked into the distance with some curiosity, as if there was something in that direction in his eyes.
"Hey, is there something up there?"
"What?" Attracted by his voice, the other two defenders also crowded over, looking curiously at the place where their companion was pointing out, "Where is it?" How I didn't see it. ”
"That's where it is." The defender still held out his finger and pointed ahead, "I seem to have seen something shining. ”
"On such a dark night, could you be mistaken?" The defender on the left was a little unimpressed, "I didn't see anything." ”
"Yes, I ...... Uh-uh! ”
The defender on the right opened his mouth and agreed, but before he could finish speaking, it had already turned into a series of meaningless monosyllables, and a feathered arrow was nailed directly to his throat, and the iron arrow had even penetrated completely!
At the beginning, the defender who said that he found the flash was completely frightened, but the defender on the left reacted a little faster, but before he could let out a loud roar, another feathered arrow had already shot into his head, spurting out a bloody arrow, and the strong impact directly shook him to the arrow tower; Then a third arrow, belatedly, pierced the chest of the defender in the middle, knocking him to the ground as well.
Almost at the same time, the guards on the fifteen outermost towers began to be cleaned up one after another.
Of the 500 Northland barbarians assigned by William this time, the Iron Wing only accounted for 300 places, and the other 200 were the elite troops responsible for garrisoning the Black Swan Castle. Even seven veterans were sent over. It can be seen from this that William attaches great importance to this strategic operation, so when dealing with these logistics troops who are only "part-time" archers, these northern barbarians naturally cannot miss.
After easily removing the fifteen arrow towers, the five hundred Northland barbarians began to advance again, and the originally sparsely scattered crowd began to gather into ten small groups of different numbers, led by Sean, Rena, Cecilia, and seven veterans, who would infiltrate from ten positions in the camp. If possible, the other fifteen arrow towers in the camp would be uprooted along with them. However, neither Sean nor Cecilia had much hope for this.
Rena carried the spear in her hand, this time she was not riding a warhorse, it was really not suitable for the current situation.
However, as a true knight, lose your mount. Rena's combat power can only be used for two-thirds, and she can't use her full strength. But fortunately, this time there is only one enemy to deal with. And on his side, there are Cecilia, Sean, and Shephaneo, who is also a high-ranking silver master. With the force of the four, Rena was confident that the outcome would not be as bad as the last time she was in Mordeg.
Cautiously walking to a distance of thirty meters from the camp, Rena stretched out a left hand, and the dozens of Northland barbarians following her immediately stopped, then crouched down and began to look around.
From this distance, all of them will no longer be able to rely on the darkness of night to cover them. Because countless braziers were placed throughout the camp, and these braziers reflected the whole camp as if it were day, and there were no shadows to hide. A large number of patrolmen are also constantly moving around the camp, and their patrol routes seem to be normal. However, if you look closely, you will find that almost every patrol team, no matter what the situation, will be within the line of sight of two other patrols dozens of meters away, which is also without blind spots and blind spots.
And if it's just a matter of patrolling the ground forces and the reflection of the brazier, the problem is that there is surveillance from above, and if the fifteen arrow towers located inside the camp are not removed, then once they have a confrontation with the enemy in this column, then they really don't even have a place to hide, because all their movements will be discovered by the guards arranged by the enemy on the arrow towers.
"It's no different from assault. This Lonnis is such an irritating guy, no wonder William wants to knock him out first. Rena muttered, but her left hand still bowed slightly, and all the Northland barbarians immediately took action again.
The layout of the camp seems to be very strict, but perhaps because it is only a temporary camp, the stakes are not deep. Under the destruction of the Northland barbarians, a gap was quickly knocked in the fence, several Northland barbarians immediately poured in, and a line of defense was set up in the camp, and then other Northland barbarians began to rush in, several Northland barbarians with longbows were the second group to enter the camp, and as soon as they entered, two of them immediately separated to climb the arrow tower and take this arrow tower for their own use.
Rena left ten Northland barbarians to guard the tower, and then scattered with the others towards the nearest tents.
This is the final part of the plan.
In the next battle, we can only rely purely on force to advance, and of course, the priority position is naturally the fifteen arrow towers in the camp.
"Are you all ready?" Rena asked.
The dozen or so Northland barbarians who followed her into the camp nodded, their faces solemn.
"Then let's start making a big fuss."
Rena let out a deep sigh, and then violently lifted the tent curtain and came out, and a patrol team that happened to be coming towards met Reina and the others face to face on the spot. The logistics personnel of these patrols were still wondering why someone suddenly appeared, but Rena had already stabbed out a shot at this time, directly piercing the throat of the soldier at the front, and when the spear was drawn, a bloody arrow even spilled out along the trajectory of the spear, connecting into a red blood line.
Immediately afterwards, the Northland barbarians hiding in the tent immediately poured out, threw their spears, and directly annihilated the two patrols.
Such a tragic scene of the battle naturally fell into the eyes of other patrols.
In the next second, the exclamation immediately sounded throughout the camp: "Enemy attack!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Well, there was a little accident. …… By the way, I finally ate the cake.
