83 And another night broke down the city

"Let's get started, move smaller." The search and rescue team gave the order.

Wu Xiaoqing picked up the binoculars and stared intently at the other side of the river, staring at the every move of the sentries on the city wall.

Under the light of the torches, the faces of the patrolling soldiers on the city wall could still be clearly seen.

The sentinels looked relaxed, and two of them were still talking to each other about today's dinner and tomorrow's lunch. They probably won't realize that they won't have a chance to eat lunch tomorrow, and the stone-clad walls under their feet give them too much security and make them lose their due guard.

In other words, it is still only maintaining the vigilance during the cold weapon war.

Until now, they probably didn't know how the walls were breached, the camp they had captured before was a wooden wall, and all traces of the blasting could be wiped out with a single fire. Therefore, there is no due defense here, and indeed, the defensive combination of the moat and the city wall can indeed be regarded as impregnable in this era.

But in the face of * that has transcended several eras, the walls have become a joke.

The soldiers who were ordered to install * began to undress at the water's edge, and it was summer, and there was a moon and stars in the sky, and it was not difficult to swim across a river.

And for the soldiers on the city walls, the only attention they have is mostly around the drawbridge, not realizing that they are in any other direction.

Who would have thought that a soldier carrying a few kilograms of gadgets would be able to lift the entire city gate into the sky.

Fifteen minutes later, the soldiers who went to carry out the mission had already placed * in place, they hid on the side of the stairs on the side of the moat, carefully hid their bodies, and then raised their two hands in the direction of Wu Xiaoqing.

Wu Xiaoqing turned around and motioned to all the soldiers to bow their bodies and not stand stupidly and watch the excitement. When everyone was ready, two words appeared in the glasses: "Detonate." ”

Wu Xiaoqing pressed the button in his hand.

The wireless signal was transmitted accurately*, like a thunderbolt from the gods, and with a loud bang, the entire castle gate suddenly became dusty.

The stone and metal were as soft and fragile as smoke and dust in the face of the tremendous force of the explosion, twisted and torn into countless pieces, flying in all directions, and all the defenders who came into contact were either killed or wounded.

After a brief reaction, several soldiers who had smuggled past rushed onto the drawbridge and cut the ropes. As soon as the planks of the drawbridge were lowered, hundreds of people on Wu Xiaoqing's side were holding swords in their hands, and they rushed towards the interior of the castle with hurried steps.

Wu Xiaoqing, like last time, walked at the back of the line.

Screams, clashing swords, pleading and screaming soon began to flow ahead.

Wu Xiaoqing was no longer as helpless as he was when he first came into contact with the battlefield yesterday, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

It is undeniable that those who are screaming are all dying because of Wu Xiaoqing, but as the search and rescue team has always emphasized today, yesterday, the day before yesterday, and dozens of days before:

If they don't die now, in a little more than a month, like everyone else, they will all die. - Pulling Wu Xiaoqing to die with the people he could have saved.

Only by constantly reminding himself of this can Wu Xiaoqing feel more comfortable.

The rope of the suspension bridge has been completely cut, and the winch has been completely shattered by the explosion, which makes Wu Xiaoqing, who originally wanted to put away the suspension bridge, have no choice but to give up.

Wu Xiaoqing asked the more than 20 soldiers who were in charge of breaking off and protecting him to protect the drawbridge, and then followed the charging route of the troops in front to check the battle situation.

Most of the enemies didn't know exactly what was going on at this time, they were just woken up by an unfamiliar loud noise and got up to check the situation, but as soon as they went out, they saw the swords and became ghosts under the sword. There are also a small number of people who react quickly, and they start to call out to their comrades, put on armor, and pick up any items that can be used as weapons, such as knives, spears, and even stones, and try to buy a little more time for their comrades.

In the Middle Ages, it was easy to lose discipline and command in night battles, and Wu Xiaoqing had already deeply realized this in the battle last night.

In the default command of war in this era, the commander only needs to, in fact, judge two opportunities, battle or retreat. And once the battle enters the scorching heat, the commander will not be able to adjust the command or tactics in time in the following process.

Therefore, even a surprise attack with all-round superiority tends to produce a lot of uncontrollable casualties.

This was the case last night, more than a dozen people died in the battle that destroyed the outpost, two of them did not listen to the command, got too close to the blasting point, were stabbed by the wooden spikes produced by *, and died on the spot, and six were killed or injured in the battle, and they rushed too fast and the people behind did not follow. The last four actually died in the fight for the spoils of war......

Wu Xiaoqing originally thought that the knight commander, as the commander, would summarize the gains and losses of the battle after the battle, and let everyone improve their tactics - who knew that the next day, everyone was bragging about their bravery in battle, calculating the property they robbed, and then there was admiration for Wu Xiaoqing, the divine envoy.

As for the experience and lessons mentioned by Wu Xiaoqing, summarize the failures in them - where did the failures come from?

Breaking through a walled city guarded by more than 100 people, only losing 12 people, is it still a failure?

So what are the battles they fought before? Sent to death?

Not to mention twelve, in a normal siege battle, even one hundred and twenty soldiers would be considered very worthwhile to die on such a well-defended walled city. If this is the case today, even if 1,200 people die in a castle with a moat, as long as the final victory is achieved, the commander will be called a famous general by everyone.

It is impossible for Wu Xiaoqing, a famous general in the world, to meddle in such a detailed management work - it is impossible to have the help of a search and rescue team - so Wu Xiaoqing can only give up improvement on this issue.

The only thing Wu Xiaoqing can do is to follow behind the troops, more or less, and he can also play some control role. For example, now......

Several enemy soldiers were standing on the city walls, spears and shields in their hands, putting up a desperate resistance. Behind them, there were two archers, who were nervously firing their bows and arrows, and several rounds flew over Wu Xiaoqing's helmet. The resistance of these few people attracted the encirclement of more than a dozen people from the army of the Kingdom of Elis, and also successfully delayed their offensive. They didn't know exactly how many troops there were in the castle, and they needed to control the situation as soon as possible before these people could react.

But the spears in the hands of these people were obviously terrifying, and they were all on the narrow city walls, and a dozen people surrounded them but could not use them, so both sides could only stare at each other and cautiously probe, trying to find a flaw in each other's movements, and the other side turned out.

In cold weapon combat, this process may be quite long, even long enough to exhaust the opponent's physical strength, and the two sides still do not have the courage to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Every soldier you command is a life that could have been saved.

For every additional soldier you keep, you can save ten times as many civilians.

With the tireless reminder of the search and rescue team flashing in front of him, Wu Xiaoqing walked over directly, and then the search and rescue team shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”

The soldiers of their own side, who had already had a preliminary tacit understanding, did not hear the struggle contained in the voice of the divine envoy, they all immediately hid to the side, Wu Xiaoqing pulled out his pistol, and quickly shot at these soldiers neatly.

The first gate was quickly captured, and at this time the troops in the city also reacted, and in front of the second gate of the inner city, there were already more than a dozen archers ready.

More than twenty of the fastest Iris soldiers were holding shields, covering the Demoman's second installation*.

Although the people on the city wall didn't understand what they were doing, they could figure out that they were definitely bad for the city wall. Someone on the wall was carrying something and was about to move towards the blasting point, and looking at the careful movements of the soldiers, it should be asphalt or boiling oil or something.

Judging by the standards of combat in this era, the response of this part of the defense force can already be regarded as rapid. Most of them are still in the tent at the moment, not awake, still in a state of confusion.

On the way over Wu Xiaoqing, he had seen many soldiers who had raised their hands to surrender, and most of them belonged to this type. However, compared with the battle plans specially planned by modern military professionals, they are too slow, and there are too many cumbersomes and flaws in both reaction and tactical actions.

"Get down, get down!" The sound of the search and rescue team was transmitted through the loudspeaker to the ears of every soldier near the city gate, and when the soldiers of the Kingdom of Elise heard it, they immediately left the blasting point and lay down according to the instructions, while the enemies on the city wall were still at a loss, and they did not know why these besieging enemies had all retreated.

Just as they were about to go near the blast point to see what the enemies had just done here, a second explosion occurred.

The only resistance was completely wiped out with the explosion, and there was no longer any terrain in the castle that could cover the defenders. The thick walls of the city now became a prison cell for the defenders, and many soldiers tried to escape in the night, but in the end they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the city gate and became prisoners.

Wu Xiaoqing followed the troops directly into the core of the castle, the commander of this castle had just woken up, and when he saw Lance and Wu Xiaoqing, he was still shaking his head desperately, as if he didn't believe that this was a fact at all.

"In honor of being a knight, I surrender my weapons and demand a decent surrender." The commander's lips trembled as he uttered his request.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't speak, this part of the work was not his scope.

Knight Chief Lance walked up to the commander and shook his head gently: "This is a holy war in the name of God, man, the honor of mortals is worthless in the face of the will of God. The price of believing in the wrong God is irreversible for any status and reputation. ”

As soon as Lance finished speaking, one of the soldiers next to him pulled out a dagger and stabbed it directly into the commander's throat through the gap in his armor. Blood splattered out, and Wu Xiaoqing's face was sprinkled a lot, every drop was like hot oil, making him feel hot and hot.

Killing prisoners is completely unacceptable in Wu Xiaoqing's view, but in this era, it is not only a matter of course, but also a real need for tactics.

In ancient times, manpower was the most important resource of war, and the vanguard under Wu Xiaoqing's command could not control so many prisoners, and if these prisoners were not killed, after they left, there was no doubt that they would be pulled into the army again, and soon reappear on the battlefield again.

Moreover, as people who had been exposed to the explosion, these captives were also a greater threat to Wu Xiaoqing's strange army than other troops. Whether it's a search and rescue team or an expert opinion from experts on Earth, the necessary killing of prisoners is the key to a quick end to this war.

After that, the looting in the castle continued for more than three hours, and when it finally ended, they lit a fire in the city, as before.

When Wu Xiaoqing and the others left, the three sentries of the Louis Kingdom who had been following them dared to approach the castle cautiously in the dark.

The three brothers clearly saw the entire siege process this time.

However, when they walked across the drawbridge and saw the huge gap in the city gate that had been blown open, they all stayed where they were.
