About five kilometers outside the east gate of Paris was a small forest, where Duke Louis and the 1,600 elite men he had brought out of the Red Keep were temporarily hiding, waiting for the signal from the advance party. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a moonlit and starry night, a full moon hung high in the sky, the silver moonlight fell from the sky, and the shadows of the trees swayed between the trees, and the forest at this time had a softer beauty than the day. However, our Duke Louis had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him at the moment, and he had been waiting for a long time and his heart had begun to become a little anxious: "Ten minutes have passed since the appointed time, why hasn't the advance team led by Polis sent a signal yet?" Are they in trouble? ”

In fact, Deacon Poli and his men did have some trouble at the east gate, and it all started with the death of Munisi.

Although the coachman's method of killing Munisi should be fast, accurate, and ruthless, so that Munisi, who had already noticed the abnormality, could not warn his colleagues and his boss Captain Swift not far away, this coachman seemed to be used to fighting and killing when he was practicing in the Red Keep, and he actually forgot a very obvious fact, that is, Munisi was not the only soldier patrolling back and forth in the convoy.

Just as the coachman pulled his sword out of Munisi's heart, another City Guard soldier walked up to them. The soldier could see at a glance the blood flowing from the sharp sword in the coachman's hand, which had not yet been put into the scabbard, and the wound on Munnessi's back that pierced his entire chest, and the fact that the coachman was still holding his hand firmly on Munnessi's throat, even a fool knew what was happening.

"Munisi?" The soldier reacted very quickly and immediately pulled out the weapon on his waist, and at the same time issued a sharp warning: "There is an enemy attack!" ”

Captain Swift and Deacon Polly, who were chatting at the same time, heard this warning at the same time.

In the next instant, a cold dagger suddenly appeared in Deacon Polly's right hand, and as soon as the dagger appeared, it stabbed into Captain Swift's heart very quickly, the speed of the dagger was fast and urgent, and it was obvious that Deacon Polly had premeditated his blow.

Although the white and chubby Captain Swift is not fat enough to weigh two or three hundred pounds, if you say that one hundred and eighty pounds is a big fat man, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will agree with your statement.

The word fat is usually synonymous with inflexibility and slowness.

However, Deacon Polly's stab was a stab.

How could a fast and sharp dagger stab an inflexible and slow fat man in the air? Deacon Polly was a little puzzled.

However, he understood right away.

Although Captain Swift's upper body didn't move, his feet took three steps backwards with great speed, just out of the range that the dagger could stab.

It turns out that our Captain Swift, although he is a fat man, is an outlier among fat men - a fat man who is very flexible.

Deacon Polly, who missed the blow, did not show any discouragement, and all the fighting energy in his body suddenly exploded, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, and rushed towards Captain Swift at a speed several times faster than the dagger just now.

Although Deacon Polly didn't know what his subordinates were doing wrong, Deacon Polly had only one thought in his heart at the moment, and that was - Captain Swift must be killed on the spot immediately, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble to the future plan!

Again, however, Deacon Polly looked away.

"Dang!" A crisp sound of gold and iron intersecting sounded in mid-air, and Captain Swift pulled out the weapon at his waist at some point, firmly blocking Deacon Polly's dagger.

At this time, shouting, fighting, and screaming began to be heard in the convoy behind Deacon Polly, apparently the deacon's subordinates were killing the soldiers under Captain Swift, and the unsuspecting soldiers were killed almost in an instant, and even several of the deacon's subordinates had already rushed over, ready to besiege Captain Swift with Deacon Polly.

However, Deacon Polly did not have the slightest joy in his heart, because at this time, although Captain Swift still had no way to get rid of his attack, he had already opened his mouth and roared in the loudest voice in his life: "Ring the bell, there is an enemy attack!" ”

The voice was so loud that Captain Swift's words not only reached the ears of the city guards who were standing guard at the east gate dozens of meters later, but even the lookout post above the city gate heard it clearly.

"Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang! The piercing sound of alarm bells immediately rang through the sky. At the same time, a blazing beacon fire burned above the city, not only to warn the people of the city, but also to send a message to the barracks of the two reserve legions stationed on the south side of Paris City—

The capital is under attack, the king of speed!

Although it was still five kilometers away from the east gate of Paris City, Duke Louis in the woods still found the burning beacon fire and billowing smoke on the city for the first time, although the duke did not know what happened at the east gate, but everything in front of him clearly told the Duke a very obvious fact - the advance team led by Deacon Poli not only did not complete the task of quietly seizing the east gate, but was also discovered by the city guards at the east gate, revealing the horse's feet.

"Damn! Damn it! Duke Louis's face turned pale, anger and suspicion kept stirring in his mind, but this small setback was not enough to make Duke Louis give up his plan that he had been planning for so long, so he quickly decided: "The cavalry regiment will come with me, and the others will follow as fast as possible, and be sure to attack the city as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Duke of Louis clamped his crotch with his legs, and rushed out of the woods in the first place, galloping towards the city of Paris in the distance, five hundred cavalry followed closely and rushed out of the woods, the sound of dense horse hooves kept echoing in the air, and everyone had only one goal - the East Gate!

Judging from the speed of Duke Louis and his group of cavalry, even if they drove the mounts under their crotch at the fastest speed, it would take at least five minutes for these five hundred cavalry to reach the east gate to attack, and if Swift, the captain of the city guards, could lead his city guards to resist the attack of the advance team and successfully close the city gate, then Duke Louis and these five hundred cavalry would only be able to look at the tall walls of Paris City in vain.

Cavalry was never the main force in the siege, and in the original plan of the Duke of Louis, these cavalry should have entered the city of Paris as quickly as possible after Deacon Poli's advance party captured the east gate, and then launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting royal palace, while the archers and infantry followed closely behind, destroying the entire royal family in one fell swoop.

As for the city guards, these old soldiers, who had long been completely corrupted by money and the comfortable life of Paris City, were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Duke Louis.

The key to everything was whether Deacon Poli could lead his advance team of twenty-five elite dead soldiers of the Louis family to take the east gate.
