Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 464 Attack on the City

Federica Royal City is a majestic city in the southwestern region of the former Christian Empire. Geographically speaking, it is bordered by the Yunduan Mountains in the north and the Sunset Mountains in the south. The city of Federica is located on the great plain valley between these two mountains. This is a blessed land, fertile and abundant, and rich in mineral resources. The province of Puerto Olga, where the city is located, was the most important economic province in the pre-Christian empire.

The city of Federica has a radius of nearly ten miles, and the city wall is more than nine meters high, only about half a meter lower than the imperial capital. There is a tower every 100 meters, and it is known as the strongest city wall of the former Christian Empire. However, the Second Highness led his troops over the Yunduan Mountains and Daxue Mountain, and the stormy night made a surprise attack on Federi Wangcheng. It only took one night to capture the whole city. I told people a very simple truth. The level of defense does not lie in the defenses of the wall towers. The perfection of facilities depends on whether the garrison soldiers are responsible.

There are no secret tunnels leading into the city, and there are no intruders who can fit inside and outside, and the defense forces of the city defense have not slackened. No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, they will also patrol the walls. There are towers every 100 meters, and there are three garrison crossbows on the four floors of each tower, which means that there are 24 garrison crossbows per 100 meters that can form an effective long-range area for the area 200 meters in front of the city wall. Covered shooting. Perhaps the defensive strength of the soldiers guarding the monument on the city wall can be underestimated, but the threat of the city guarding crossbow in the tower cannot be ignored.

Strike! Three days later, Lorist made the same judgment as Baldfinger, Malek and the others. No way, winter and the heavy snow did not make the garrison of the King City relax their vigilance and guard. They also have good winter clothing for outdoor activities. It seems that the Vicia Chamber of Commerce has done a good job in the treatment of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, the assault does not mean rushing into the crowd, it is the performance of the headlessness. Lorist did not want to wait for more than ten days for the catapult to be transported on the sled before proceeding with the siege. It's already January 25th, and when the catapult arrives, it will be snowing in February. It was a painful torture for both the offensive and the defender to start a siege when the cold spring was all over the mud. It might be better to attack and take down the city earlier. The casualties of the family’s armed forces may be smaller. .

Lorist was preparing to launch a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, when the city defense forces were the darkest and the night watch was most relaxed. It would be better if there was a blizzard to cover, one is to cover the attacking sight of the garrison in the tower, and the other is to cover the approach of the attackers. As long as he can get close to the city wall, Lorist will be sure to take down a section of the city wall and several towers. As long as the Norton family armed forces attacked the city, the fall of the King's city was a foregone conclusion.

The biggest difference between Lorist and the nobles in other territories is that he likes to take the lead. This time too, he rejected the dissuasion of Bodfinger and others. Lorist said that with his skill, he believed that he could use the fastest in the shortest time. The most secret way is to destroy the enemies in the two towers on the left and right of the city gate, and capture the city gate to enlarge the troops into the city. And let others talk about it, I'm afraid it will be seen by the enemy and form a see-saw attack and defensive battle, which will waste time and increase casualties...

All the senior family members present bowed their heads in shame, but were speechless. This is a fact. Except for a Sword Master and Reddy who can parry Lorester's hands with dozens of moves, no one else is Lorester's perfect enemy. For a family knight, it would be a shame for the Patriarch to charge and take the lead. It's just that everyone has no choice but to let Lorister take risks.

The first wave of four people, Lorist, Seuss Great Swordsman, Reddy and El. Lorester and Seuss Great Swordsman were responsible for taking the two towers on the left and right sides of the North City Gate after they went up to the city wall, while Reddy and El were responsible for the second wave of Joost and the guards going up the city. After the guards came to the city, El led people to open the city gate. Joost guarded the city wall. Reddy led the guards to continue the attack along the city wall, striving to capture the west gate, the south gate and the east gate in turn.

The three regiments of the Rock Legion had already ambushed outside the three remaining city gates, so the Tiger Ross of the Flying Tiger Legion won the honor of being the first to enter the city, and he was triumphant for this. After El opened the North City Gate, the Flying Tiger Corps that entered the city will immediately attack the barracks in the Western District, trying to force the enemy to land. And a corps of the Rock Legion will first occupy the entire city wall under the leadership of Malek, and come to close the door to beat the dog.

Baldfinger's luck was very bad. He was assigned to dispatch the corps in the other three directions. After Malek occupied the city wall, he would enter the city to maintain order or as a follow-up reinforcement. Lorester is ready to ignore the inner city, first occupy the surrounding four areas and then attack the inner city. Maybe he will surrender without attacking the enemy when the situation is over...

On the evening of January 30, Xiaoxue, the sky was dim, and the cold wind howled.

All the soldiers of the Norton family rested early to replenish their energy, and a surprise attack on Federica Royal City will be launched early tomorrow morning. Lorist was awakened by Genorio at three in the middle of the night. He ate something to fill his stomach, and then began to put on his equipment. Soon, the Great Swordsman, Reddy and El walked into the big tent, all fully armed, gray-white one-piece leather jackets, black gauze eye masks and white face masks. Also wearing a white cloak.

Out of the big tent, the sky was dark and heavy, the snowflakes danced a wild dance in the air, and the cold wind roared across the white field. Take a gentle breath, a icy cold refreshes my heart and lungs, and my whole body starts to tremble involuntarily.

Lorist stomped his feet twice, took a few deep breaths, looked at the restless military camp and a few dark figures around him, and asked gently: "Are you all ready?"

Lorester nodded in the affirmative answer: "Then, let's go out."

There is no need for passionate words to mobilize, the four figures riding on the skis and waving the poles pass the snowy field silently like a ghost, and go straight to the city. It would take a long time for more than twenty miles to hike on such knee-deep snow. Maybe it would not be possible to walk for more than half a day. However, with the assistance of the snowboards, within half an hour, it took less than half an hour and the King City appeared in front of the four.

The biggest convenience for raids in winter is that the severe cold freezes the wide moat, and the heavy snow connects it to the entire wilderness. If it were summer and autumn, then the ten-meter wide moat would be a moat that lay in front of the attackers. I don't know how much casualties it would take for the attackers to touch the edge of the wall.

With a slight support, the skis crossed the flat moat with four gray-white figures, and in a blink of an eye they touched the bottom of the city wall. Lorist pricked his ears and listened, there was no movement on the wall, only the whistling wind remained. With a gentle gesture, the four took off their skis gently and moved their wrists. Lorist pulled out two black daggers from a wallet behind his back, ready to go to town.

A thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the city wall in winter, which is very smooth. However, the dagger that filled the dark energy was like a defeat, and it disappeared with a single press, and the handle left outside became a small ladder winding upward. The nine-meter-high city wall is not reachable by twelve daggers. Lorester clings to the city wall like a gecko, and El takes off his wallet and hands it to Lorester.

Seeing that when it was approaching the top of the city wall, there was a sound of footsteps on snow and a flash of fire. It was clear that this was the patrol guarding the city wall. At five o'clock in the morning, this was the darkest moment. No soldiers in the patrol wanted to stretch their heads and look down at the city. They only kept their heads down and followed the torch at the front, and no one even wanted to speak...

After the patrol team passed by, Lorist emerged silently from under the city wall, lightly fell behind the last patrol member, and walked forward with his footsteps. The patrol member seemed to feel something and turned his head and looked back. As the last of the team, what he should see is the faintly visible walkway of the city wall covered with pale snow in the dark night, but he didn't expect it to be a black figure almost stuck behind him, he was startled. I jumped, just about to yell, I felt a chill in my heart, I didn't make a sound anymore, I didn't know anything when the sky was spinning...

The four of Lorist went up to the city on the left side of the north gate. The patrol on the wall passed by. Lorist followed the patrol. The patrol was only forty meters away from the tower on the left, right in front of the patrol. When the soldier holding the torch and the captain next to them walked into the small gate of the tower, Lorist was almost one step at a time. He cleaned up the more than 30 patrols behind him and placed them in the aisle of the city wall. Lie down.

This floor of the tower is divided into two halves. One half is an aisle, leading to a small door on the other side of the city wall, and the other half is a semi-circular staircase, half of which goes up and half goes down. There should have been two sentry on duty on this floor, but it was cold and the two sentry did not know where the cat went to sleep. The patrolman holding the torch and the captain next to him were disapproving. After entering the small door, they walked to a burning brazier next to the aisle and prepared to warm their lower body.

The captain turned around and said: "You guys also grilled, rest here for a while and continue to tour..."

The captain was shocked, because there was no patrol team behind him, only a figure with a dress clearly different from them was standing.

"You..." The sword light flashed away, and the team leader and the torch-lifting team member fell to the ground. Lorist stepped forward, holding the two corpses with both hands and gently laying on the ground, so as not to wake up the enemy above the tower.

Reddy and El flashed into the small door behind him, and Lorist asked softly: "Where is the Great Sword Master Hugh?"

Reddy didn't say a word, pointed to the tower on the right side of the city gate, and signaled the Great Sword Master Xius to seize the tower.

Lorist nodded: "Follow the plan."

Reddy and El nodded, picked up the torch on the ground, and El walked out, held the torch in his hand and made two circles, and after a while they made two more circles. Soon, there were some very slight movements under the city, and a group of people emerged from the darkness and came under the city wall. El slammed down the rope ladder that brought up the city, and the figures under the city began to go up the city. Joost was the first to climb the city wall. The two guards who came up also carried a large rope ladder on their backs. Soon, Three rope ladders hung on the wall, and more and more guards came up.

Lorester has killed all the guards on the four floors of the tower. Perhaps it has been a long time. The defensive security of the city wall is very tight from the outside, but it only appears after entering the tower. This is purely the surface light of sheep dung eggs. Whether it's the patrol team or the tower's guards on duty, their vigilance has long been relaxed. The twelve garrisons on each of the three floors above the tower slept like dead pigs. The shooting windows of those garrison crossbows were blocked by thick wooden boards. Lorist suspected that the thunder could not disturb them.

There were also no guards on the top of the tower. The lower floor of the tower was packed with fourteen guards. It seems that two guards who should be standing guard on the aisle of the city wall were also squeezed here to sleep. They happened to be given by Lorist’s nest. Up. Half a team of fifty defenders was sent to the kingdom of God of War by Lorist in his sleep. This can't be blamed on Lorist's cruelty, but can't catch it alive, as long as one of them goes out of alarm, it is likely to alarm the enemy. In order to avoid changes, the best way to deal with them is to kill them. The dead enemy is the best enemy.

Reddy is going to take the guards to take the next tower, and El is going to take the guards to take the city gate. Lorester appeared in front of them with a **** smell and murderous aura: "Wait, the city gate lets me come, El, you and Reddy will go to capture the tower on the wall together, you can echo up and down. And you can Pretend to be a patrol team."

Reddy's eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered more than forty guards, arranged in two rows, holding torches and El swaying to the next tower. There were more than thirty guards on the wall, and Lorist motioned them to enter the tower first to avoid being spotted by the enemy. The guards under the city are still climbing up. However, all the guards who were on the wall kept silent, went up to the city silently, and then flashed into the tower.

A figure appeared at the small gate of the tower to the right of the city gate, with the torch in his hand drawn in two semicircles on his chest. Lorist breathed a sigh of relief, and the Great Sword Master Xius also took down the tower over there.

"Go to thirty people, defend the tower, and ask the Great Sword Master Xius if he attacks the next tower, then we will continue to send people to support." Lorist said.

Thirty guards rushed to the tower to the right of the city gate. Lorist felt that it was too slow to rely on the three rope ladders to get on the people. He looked at the more than twenty guards around him, and said to Jost, "Joe, you are on it. I will go down and take the gate first. Look at my signal from above to let the guards go down town."

Although his guards are more suitable for special operations than the soldiers of the Flying Tigers and the Rock Legions, and have undergone special training such as ambushes, sneak assassinations, etc., Lorist is still worried that taking them down the city will alarm the enemy's defense~www.mtlnovel. com~ So I prepared to go down and have a look on my own.

Lorist walked down from the stone ladder at the entrance of the city wall. The stone ladder of the upper city was not far from the city gate, less than fifty meters away. It was just that after Lorist got out of the city, there was not a single guard at the gate of the city. Only a huge fire was lit there. The sky will be bright, there is no open flame in the fire, only a pile of ashes and a few plumes of clear smoke.

"Hey, what about you, what are you doing, come down from the city wall and look around?" A scolding sound came from the doorway of the city gate.

"Ah, nothing." Lorist walked to the gate quickly: "The captain asked me to come down and get him something to eat..."

"Oh, you go look for it in this fire, maybe there are some cassava leftovers from last night buried underneath." said the voice. Obviously he regarded Lorist as a guard on the wall.

Lorester walked to the fire in front of the city gate cave and took a peek, but saw that there were about twenty guards sleeping soundly in the city gate cave. The outermost one should be talking aloud, and he was wearing one at the moment. Sheepskin continued to squint and doze against the wall.

This idea is really good. Burning a lot of fire in front of the city gate cave, and the guards hiding in the city gate cave and roasting it warmly can just sleep a big head without delaying the guard's mission. It really kills two birds with one stone.

"Don't take them all, keep a few for me." The guard soldier who was napping against the wall said with his eyes closed.

"Okay." Lorist answered, approaching the city gate step by step, grabbing the handle of the sword with his right hand.

At this moment, a sharp and dull horn sounded abruptly from the city wall, tearing the tranquility before dawn, and then the sound of the horn was immediately interrupted, and a scream came from afar.

The garrison leaning against the city wall jumped up and shouted loudly: "There are police, everyone, get up!"
