Chapter 710: Night Battle

Boom!

Under the continuous shooting of the snipers in the West Watchtower, in the blink of an eye, the Moon Kingdom army lost another trebuchet and scrapped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Right now, there is only one trebuchet left in the Moon Nation army.

Seeing that success was in sight, Wu Zhendong and other snipers were even more ruthless as if they had been beaten all at once, and launched a full-scale attack on the last trebuchet. Another barrage of bullets attacked the enemy next to the last trebuchet, leaving no enemy to get close to the trebuchet, so that the enemies operating the trebuchet did not even have a chance to get close to the trebuchet.

Poof!

Soon, I saw one after another Moon Kingdom soldiers, lying next to the trebuchet.

The attack was not possible, and the soldiers of the Moon Country army were all scattered.

"General, more than thirty of us have died, and now, no soldier dares to step forward. Seeing that the division was unfavorable, a junior general of the Moon Country army shouted in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly reported the situation to Michael.

Michael's face was gloomy, and he told his subordinates their true situation without concealment: "Do you think that as long as we don't charge forward, we can save our lives? In this battle, our army has suffered heavy losses, and His Royal Highness the little prince has been furious about this, and his mood has not been clear for half a second. I tell you the truth, His Royal Highness wants only one result—that if we win this battle, at any cost, he will take this Watchtower. Therefore, you must be soberly aware of this fact: In fact, we have no way out at all! If we do not do our best to kill the enemy and become deserters, His Royal Highness the Little Prince will only wait for us with more severe military laws. ”

What Michael said, the little prince of the moon country did not say it directly, but as a close confidant of the little prince, he has been by the little prince's side for many years, with his ability to observe words and feelings, as well as his understanding of the little prince's temperament, how could Michael not understand the thoughts of His Royal Highness the little prince?

Hearing Michael's words, the young general suddenly didn't dare to say anything more. But what can be done? You can't go back, but even if you rush forward, I'm afraid you will die.

Michael didn't think like this, so he frowned and was in a dilemma.

Just when the two were worried, suddenly, the situation took a turn for the better.

"The whole army retreats a hundred miles!" the herald suddenly ran to Michael's side and conveyed to him the latest military order of the little prince of the Moon Kingdom.

On the battlefield, their own heralds did not dare to convey hypocritical military orders, so this news was like a timely rain, which made Michael feel re-energized.

So, almost without hesitation, he immediately conveyed the military order of the little prince of the Moon Kingdom to the forward soldiers, ordering the whole army to retreat.

It can be said that Mai Ke waited, not because he was lucky enough to meet the little prince of the Moon Kingdom when his mood improved, but when the little prince finally calmed down and objectively analyzed the situation between the enemy and us, instead of just wanting to take a bad breath.

Obviously, the shells of the West Lookout Tower can attack the coalition forces, on the contrary, it is difficult for the Coalition forces to get close to the West Watch Tower, and even if there are enough people, they are just sent to death in batches.

When he saw that the enemy in the sentry tower had a particularly strong attack power, and it was not at all a firepower attack that they could withstand, the little prince of the Moon Kingdom had to grit his teeth and temporarily endure this wretched anger even if he was unwilling to admit it in his heart. After all, if he really didn't want to see the Moon Country's army suffer greater losses, so that he might lose the dominant position in the coalition army, their Moon Country army had only one way to withdraw.

Michael's army retreated extremely quickly. After the army had retreated to a long enough distance, Michael carefully analyzed the terrain and arranged for the guards to take turns guarding it, and also sent several teams of scouts to monitor the situation in the vicinity at all times before setting up camp so that the surviving soldiers could rest for a while.

The little prince of the Moon Kingdom was in the tent, summoned the generals in the army, and then discussed the strategy of breaking the enemy. This time, although the little prince of the Moon Kingdom is no longer the arrogant and domineering posture he used to be, he does not mean to give in at all: "The current situation, everyone knows very well, if we can't solve this guard tower as soon as possible, not only will we inevitably be laughed at by the armies of other countries, but more importantly, our army may only suffer greater losses." Therefore, I ask you to fight quickly, and you must take that watchtower within two days. ”

Although the so-called other countries in the mouth of the little prince of the Moon Kingdom were not explicitly pointed out, it was just that all the generals in the army knew that what the little prince was referring to was actually the Ling Kingdom.

Although the coalition forces of various countries that attacked the West Lookout Tower this time, the coalition forces always had to have a backbone army, but it became a question of which country's army would take the lead.

Among the coalition armies of various countries, the armies of the Yue Kingdom and the Ling Kingdom are the strongest, so the leaders of these two countries are naturally secretly competing. Although it was the Moon Kingdom army that led the army in the end, the Ling Kingdom still had to compete with the Moon Kingdom for the dominance of the coalition army.

But this dominance, for the Moon Kingdom, in addition to representing majesty and status, more importantly, once the final coalition forces win the war, how to distribute the results is included in this dominance. In other words, if the little prince of the Moon Kingdom gave up the dominance, it would mean that he gave up the final distribution of most of the loot.

Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that although the army of the Ling Kingdom is openly joining forces with the army of the Moon Kingdom and the armies of other countries to deal with the Xiwang Tower, but secretly, it must also be waiting to pull the pigtails of the Moon Kingdom, as long as the army of the Moon Kingdom goes wrong, the Ling Kingdom will take the opportunity to exert pressure, and at that time, the Moon Kingdom will have to automatically hand over the dominance of the war.

If the army of the Moon Kingdom can't even take a single sentry tower for a long time, wouldn't that mean that the Moon Kingdom is incompetent? And that will be the pigtail of the Moon Kingdom's army.

It is the hidden factors behind this that have become the main reason why the little prince of the Moon Kingdom cannot avoid the West Lookout Tower even if he has suffered a lot of losses at present.

"Your Highness, we might as well fight at night! Since we can't occupy a geographical advantage, then we will fight for the time. At night, our movements are better hidden, and unless we get close enough to the watchtower, they should not be as easy to spot our path as they are during the day. When the time comes, our archers will be able to approach them. More than 1,000 archers, suppressing the people on the watchtower, and then attacking the city with infantry, will surely succeed in one fell swoop. Michael made a new suggestion.

This time, the little prince of the Moon Kingdom did not directly agree, but asked the generals around him: "Do you think Michael's plan is good?

"General Michael's suggestion is good, and it should be feasible. ”

"The youngster couldn't have a better suggestion......"

"In that case, General Michael's suggestion is the result of a discussion among the whole army. The little prince of the Moon Country said.

The military discussion ended, and the little prince of the Moon Kingdom left Michael alone.

"I want to send Kingdom Assassins to infiltrate the West Watch Tower. The words of the little prince of the Moon Kingdom made Michael slightly startled.

As an officer, Michael had never been much of a dislike for Assassins. However, the current situation is also very clear, as long as the goal can be achieved, the capture of the West Lookout Tower, any means and means are not a problem.

Therefore, Michael did not object to the little prince, and said: "Your Highness, the Kingdom Assassins have always been the worship of the Moon Kingdom, are they willing?" The Kingdom Assassins of the Moon Kingdom are a profession unique to the Moon Kingdom, suitable for assassination activities in the dark.

The little prince thought for a moment and said, "There should be no problem. ”

This time, the Little Prince of the Moon Kingdom was accompanied by several Kingdom Assassins, and these Assassins' allegiance was to the Little Prince. The little prince is also considered to have made a bloody investment, and he will never allow failure to lose his troops, let alone allow his reputation and prestige to be lost.

General Michael has no opinion, what he needs to do is to follow the little prince's ideas in action and assist the little prince to achieve his goals.

"Your Highness, rest assured, after a quarter of an hour of the Assassins' operations, I will arrange for the army to begin its operations. The two sides should cooperate with each other inside and outside, and it is foolproof to break the enemy. Michael said respectfully.

The little prince smiled slightly and said, "In this night battle, I will stay in the tent." I hope that tomorrow I will wake up in a good mood. ”

Michael agreed, respectfully leaving the little prince's tent.

Night fighting, although it may seem like a more feasible tactic, is actually not a simple matter to put into practice, and it must be fully prepared.

Michael gathered 3,000 infantry and 1,000 archers, and prepared arrows, torches, ladders, ropes, hooks, and so on to climb the wall.

As the clock ticks, the sun sets and night falls.

In two places on the fence of the west-looking watchtower, fires were lit to illuminate the environment around the watchtower for 50 meters.

Wu Zhendong was not afraid that the enemy army would engage in night battles, and in the storage room of the West Watchtower, they also prepared fifty bright flashlights, which were directly mounted on the guns as night aids. Even if the fire is extinguished, under the illumination of a strong flashlight, there is no problem in night fighting.

At night, Wu Zhendong, who was still on guard at the top of the watchtower, felt some unusual atmosphere. In the surrounding environment, it is as if you have broken into something dangerous.

However, Wu Zhendong stood up and looked around the watchtower, but found nothing.

"Cheer up, be careful, don't capsize in the gutter. Although it was not clear where the danger came from, Wu Zhendong immediately reminded everyone.

"Yes!" the crowd replied.

"Number one!" Wu Zhendong began to shout. According to the regulations of the West Lookout, the sentry commander has the right to inspect the various posts. So, Wu Zhendong began to name names.

"Here!" replied a sentry.

Wu Zhendong nodded and continued to shout: "No. 2!"

Five seconds passed, and no one answered.

"Number two!" Wu Zhendong shouted again.

Still no one answered.

"Enemy attack! Enemy infiltrates the watchtower! Watch your side!" Wu Zhendong shouted.

As soon as Wu Zhendong finished speaking, he saw a guard tower soldier fall on the city wall.

"Shoot!" Wu Zhendong shouted, but he didn't hesitate in the slightest move. Shoot at anything that isn't right.

Bang! Bang!

The rest of the soldiers in the guard tower also reacted positively when they heard Wu Zhendong's words. Most of them pick up pistols around them to defend themselves or protect each other, searching for enemies.

Bang!

A man dressed in a night suit was hit by Wu Zhendong and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, Wu Zhendong felt a tingling in his scalp, immediately took out his pistol, fired a shot back, and then rolled to the left.

Bang!

An enemy appeared in the back, he was shot, and the knife in his hand almost slashed Wu Zhendong's neck.

Wu Zhendong hated it deeply, and without hesitation, he gave the enemy a few more shots. He had never imagined that the person he had just killed was actually a third-level assassin. Under normal circumstances, Wu Zhendong's bullets are difficult to kill third-level professionals. It's a pity that this third-level assassin of the Moon Kingdom may be accustomed to sneaking attacks from behind, and for the sake of hidden convenience, he didn't even activate the body protection vitality, and he died at the gunpoint of Wu Zhendong as a matter of course.

Wu Zhendong made up a few more shots, then ignored the assassin and continued to pick up the gun, condescendingly, looking for the assassin.

At this time, two more sentries came up from the watchtower, and when they saw the assassin on the ground, they didn't say anything, but picked up their guns and began to look for the assassin inside the watchtower like Wu Zhendong.

Ten minutes later, Wu Zhendong and his soldiers searched every place until there were no enemies. At this time, Wu Zhendong began to count the losses.

"Eleven people were killed, seven were wounded, four of the enemy, all killed. The deputy sentinel reported to Wu Zhendong.

When Wu Zhendong heard this, he hated it. In the face of thousands of enemy troops, the Western Watchtower did not lose a single person. In just one night, several enemies, he lost almost a fifth of his soldiers. These soldiers followed Wu Zhendong for a while, not without feelings. Such a loss made him feel painful.

However, Wu Zhendong still forgot the pain in a short period of time and said: "Everyone step up their guards, the enemy army will not let go of the opportunity of the night." He paused, then continued, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"

At this time, no one doubted Wu Zhendong's words.

Inside the watchtower, more than a dozen sentries quickly cleaned up the corpses of the enemy and threw them outside the wall. The bodies of his colleagues were temporarily placed in the watchtower.

The rest of the sentries are equipped with strong flashlights and spears, and the muzzles of their guns are pointed outside, waiting for the enemy.

Within a few minutes, a sentry heard the sound of squirming.

"The enemy is coming!" Wu Zhendong ordered the sentries not to act rashly.

Fifty meters away, several archers appeared in front of Wu Zhendong's eyes.

Bang!

Wu Zhendong fired the first shot, and one of the enemy archers fell.

Kill!

Three thousand enemy infantry, shouting, frantically charged forward. A thousand archers stood fifty meters away, bending their bows and shooting arrows......

"Watch out for bows and arrows!" Wu Zhendong shouted.

Bang bang bang.......

At this time, the sentry on the wall did not spare his hand, and the bullets in the gun were fired without money. Under the cover of darkness, the sentinels of the Western Watchtower, unable to judge the number of enemies at night, simply attacked indiscriminately. Shoot anyone who approaches the watchtower, and you can't make a mistake.

On a high ground in the southwest of Anhua City, the Xinghua Army has built many defense facilities, which is both the base and headquarters of the Xinghua Army.

Not long ago, at the headquarters of the Anhua Corps of the Xinghua Army, Zhao Bai received an early warning from the Xiwang Tower, so he issued an order to let the soldiers of the Xiwang Tower retreat.

Unfortunately, the enemy was too fast and surrounded the West Watchtower. The herald returned to the headquarters and reported the military situation to Zhao Bai.

Zhao Bai issued a rescue order and said: "The comrades in the Xiwang Tower are besieged, and we must assist them in retreating. (To be continued.) )
