Blood Dragon

No.20 Section Two Deception

"This game is not fun at all, Leo." Ashuruffat said, throwing down the ball of paper.Leo could only smile reluctantly.

"I'll go." Ashuruffat said. "Leo, you are still injured. William Daly, you don't know how to use gunpowder at all. And if you really need to fight your way back, I'm the most confident. If you don't accept it, we can compare swords, Let's see who is the strongest."

Neither Leo nor William Daly spoke.In terms of force, Ashurfat must be the strongest in the expeditionary force - now no one doubts this.Unless the Holy Grail Knight came forward.The Holy Grail Knight may still have a fight with Ash Rufat.But as we all know, the Knights of the Holy Grail never fight.

"It's decided like this." Ashuruffat concluded. "Let's recruit volunteers first. We also need to take out gunpowder from the inventory and prepare various materials."

"Leave the volunteer work to me." William Daly said suddenly, and no one else noticed the flash of light in him.

After a short day's truce, the Paro army gathered around the city again in the early morning hours.A dense, endless army.

Since the expeditionary force moved the captured cannons to the city wall, the attack distance of the Paro people has been greatly shortened.They had to muster their forces outside the range of the artillery.

Many Saint-Jean knights expressed dissatisfaction at first.But the fact that the obvious effect had made them all shut up, too.The only change was that the job of supervising the gunners was performed by the militia, as the knights were reluctant to perform such a task.

But today, the Paro army has been slow to launch an offensive.

A black cloud enveloped half of the sky, as if the murderous aura in the world condensed on the clouds.Today will be the last day!Perhaps because of this kind of awareness, the solemn murderous intent shrouded the city, lingering.And because both parties had a day off.At this time, the morale of the two armies was extremely high, and the exhaustion before was completely swept away.

In the water mirror, a picture of the enemy's tunnel entrance appeared.Groups of armed soldiers, including many knights in heavy armor, filed into the tunnel.There are no longer any vehicles loaded with earth and rocks out of the tunnel, because there are very few earth and rocks left to be dug, and they can be piled directly inside the tunnel.

Ashurfat looked away from the water mirror.

"It's alright, Miss Mayfair, there's no need to continue. This is the time I'm looking forward to attack." He thanked in a low voice.The latter looked at him with a charming and sad smile.

"Count, may God's blessing be with you. I hope you can return in triumph." Fei'er suddenly stood up, came to Ashuruffat, and hugged him tenderly.She didn't say anything, just hugged Ashuruffat like this, and put her cheek on Ashuruffat's shoulder.

After a while, Mayfair straightened up and left Ashuruffat.Ashuruffat was also stunned for a while, but turned around and left.Time was running out, and he had no time to think about what this meant.

The horses were already in place, Ashuruffat stepped on the horses and rushed to the edge of the city gate.There, the strike force is on standby.

William Daly suddenly appeared in front, and seemed to have something to say.Ashuruffat stopped his horse.

"Ash Rufat, is it time to attack?" William Daly leaned forward and asked.

"Well, I saw Paro soldiers filing into the tunnel. I think they have already started digging the last section. Their frontal attack will start soon, help me defend the city wall!"

"No problem." William Daly promised. "Ashrufat... your saddle is a little slanted, I suggest you check it carefully. Don't make any trouble before the battle." After saying this, he left.

The saddle is a little slanted?Ashuruffat jumped off his horse and began to carefully inspect the saddle and girth.But there seems to be no problem.He checked it carefully and found nothing wrong.

William Daly kidding me?No, impossible!He checked again, felt every buckle and knot of the belt, and did not jump on the horse again until he was sure it was all right.

This check wasted five or six minutes.William Daly may be wrong, but be careful sailing for ten thousand years.It's worth the 6 minutes.

There was the sound of rolling horseshoes ahead, it seemed that the cavalry was attacking... Ashuruffat suddenly felt something bad.He galloped on and rushed to the gate of the city, only to find that the troops who had been waiting here had already left.

"What's going on?" He grabbed a militiaman and asked.How can it be?Without a commander, how did the army attack by itself? "Where are the attacking troops here?"

"Lord William Daly has led them off. My lord, you want to see them off. But I'm sorry, you came a step late." The militiaman replied. "Hurry up to the city wall, they can still hear you shouting now."

That guy William Daly...

But there was no time to think more.The roar of the cannon has already sounded, and the Paro people have begun to attack frontally.If William Daly is gone, then he must go over there to direct!

At the command position farther from the city wall, General Rudolf, the commander of Paro's army, was watching the situation on the battlefield, or he pretended to be observing the situation on the battlefield.

Frontal attack is very important, but it is no longer a decisive issue.Two hours later, at most two hours later, ten tunnel entrances will be dug, and an endless stream of Paro soldiers will emerge from behind the expeditionary force.In this case, it is impossible to have a defense that does not collapse.Even if they don't collapse, they will be consumed to death.When the time comes, we must...

"General! Enemy!" Someone suddenly shouted.

"The enemy? What happened to the enemy?" Rudolph recovered from his contemplation.On the city wall, the fierce battle continued.On this long city wall, wailing was everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Cannons, muskets, bows and arrows flew all over the sky, bringing countless lives and disappearing instantly.Blood spilled all over the battlefield, like hell on earth.

But this is an inevitable situation in siege warfare, and there is nothing surprising about it.

"The enemy...the enemy's cavalry!" The subordinate pointed to the other side, and a small group of expeditionary cavalry was rushing out of the slanting stab, heading straight for the entrance of the tunnel.But there were no organized Paro troops blocking them in front of them.

Without any hesitation, Rudolph immediately ordered the light cavalry to attack, and tried his best to hold back the small enemy force.Although his order was carried out immediately, it was still a step late.The enemy's goal is the tunnel entrance!Undoubtedly, they did not know how to use it, and they already knew the strategy of the Paro army today.

The first tunnel entrance was unexpectedly unguarded!

The tunnel dug here is quite wide, in fact, it is bigger than it looks through the water mirror, enough for several soldiers to enter and exit without any obstacles.Right now, it's so dark inside that I can't see anything.The soldiers who entered should have squeezed to the front of the tunnel.

"Quick! Quick, light the fuse on the powder barrel and throw it in, deep down!"

Two or three knights each took a powder keg, lit the fuse, and threw it deep into the tunnel.They brought more than a dozen extra horses, each of which carried four powder barrels, and besides that, some knights carried powder barrels with them.

"You guys stay here and watch, don't let anyone extinguish it! The others come with me!" William Daly shouted the order, and rushed to the next entrance.Here, a group of shirtless servants immediately dispersed.Several soldiers watched the surging knights, dropped their weapons and fled with the servants.

This entrance is also done in the same way, followed by the next one.

But the luck soon ran out.The light cavalry of the Paro army had arrived, and the two armies were fighting near the entrance of the fourth tunnel.Paro's light cavalry were indisputably superior in numbers.But the current knights already have the determination to die.They are not so much defending as they are attacking.Paro's light cavalry were beaten back steadily.

There was a roar on the ground, and the powder keg at the entrance of the first tunnel had exploded.The huge explosion even made the horses neigh.

"You guys, don't get entangled with the Paro people, go and get rid of the tunnel." William Daly ordered loudly.Under his command, several knights broke away from the battle line and rushed to the tunnel.At this time, several Paro cavalry who had found a chance came out of this gap and went straight to William Daly.

William Daly swung his tomahawk and felled the first enemy.Another Paro took this opportunity to slash his body with a long sword, but failed to break through the armor.William Daly split him head to chest with an axe.

It took them a while to entangle with the light cavalry, but in the end the light cavalry were dispersed by the knights and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Now it was the turn of the fifth tunnel crossing, but there was just enough time for the Paro army to line up.Paro's infantry emerged from the top of the hill where the tunnel entrance was located, hiding behind the barriers made of shields and spears, and marched in unison.

"Knights, charge!" William Daly shouted.The knights quickly lined up in a frontal charging lance array, and amidst the collective shouts, they went straight to the Paro army.

Seeing the knight charging, the Paro stopped.These enemies are all spearmen, and they form a half-moon formation, protected by shields, like an iron hedgehog with thorns on both sides, ready for battle.Facing the large row of spears, most of the knights stopped sprinting at the last moment and dodged.Others were far more tragic: either the point of the gun shot through the chest and died instantly, or they fell to the ground after the death of their mounts.

William Daly's mount was scratched by a spear. It went mad from the pain, stood up, and kicked hard with its front hooves.The frenzied horse leaped into the enemy line, spears jabbed at it from all directions, but the shield wall collapsed under its weight at the same time.The horse crashed down, but William Daly got up unscathed, raised his battle ax high, and launched a frenzied attack.

The second wave of cavalry arrived quickly.Now there is no neat formation to protect the spearmen.Armor and shield are no stronger than thick paper against a charging lance.Crowds of Paro were run through with lances, killing at least two soldiers with each blow.

Seeing that the Paro people were about to collapse, a sudden explosion affected the entire battle.The huge air wave affected everyone, regardless of enemy or friend, and everything flew into the sky wherever it went.Human bodies were torn apart, internal organs were shattered, stumps and blood were flying all over the sky.

William Daly climbed up, he was lucky to be on the edge, but the impact also made him dizzy.He calmed down and found that the two parties who had fought just now had all disappeared.Fifty knights and at least three hundred spearmen turned into minced meat.
