After coming to the southwest wall of Siena, Marin did not give the order to attack, but came to the courtyard where the two teams that had been sent to dig tunnels were located.

"What? The tunnels haven't been dug yet? The last time I came, didn't you say you were about to dig through? Marin lashed out at the leader of the leading tunnel excavation team.

"Grand Duke, the last time you came, we did dig near the city wall. But...... But who knew that the bottom of the hillside below the city walls was full of granite! I can't dig it! "The leader of the tunnel excavation team who led the team was about to cry. I dug all the way before, but I didn't expect that the bottom of the small hill under the city wall in the southwest section of Siena was full of granite geology, and I really couldn't dig it......

It's not that you can't dig at all, but you can continue to dig with a professional pickaxe for quarrying. However, the stone is so hard that it is too slow to dig. If you want to dig through, it is estimated that it will take two or three months......

When he told Marin about this idea, Marin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood - Nima, two or three months...... My army has long since starved to death, and I don't need the enemy's hands......

However, Marin also knew that this was really not to blame the tunnel excavation team. Because he didn't know that the "base" of the hill that surrounded the city of Siena was all granite. From the outside, the slope of the mountain was still lush and green, making him think it was a dirt mountain......

Marin sat down dejectedly, not thinking that another team in the city must have failed to dig tunnels. Because, the direction of the two teams digging is opposite, or even facing each other, in order to connect the tunnels of the two sides head-on. But now...... The other party must not be able to dig up the granite at the base of the hill......

"By the way, I still have an insurance policy!" At this time, Marin suddenly remembered that he still had a third team in Siena City, which was responsible for cooperating with the storming of the city gates.

The team responsible for the siege of the city gate consisted of 40 people, all of whom were Hercules hired from all over Italy by Marin under the orders of the spies of the Italian branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce at a high price. Led by Italian spies sent by Marin, they lived in three small courtyards near the northwest gates of Siena. Moreover, Marin paid a high price to buy the guards of the city and bring in a batch of swords and shields to equip these 40 people. 40 strong men with swords and shields in their hands stormed the city gates, and the average Italian mercenary really couldn't stop them......

Marin's army was lurking quietly, so the Sienese defenders in the city should not have piled up the gates with debris. Because, that's what only happens in wartime. After all, once the city gate hole is blocked, there is no way to open the city gate. The city of Siena is the main traffic point of the Republic of Siena, an extremely important three-way crossing. If the city gates are not opened, I am afraid that the transportation of the Republic of Siena will be paralyzed. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the other party will not casually pile up masonry and debris in the city gate hole......

……

In order to rule the death squads in the city, Marin sent his men to the northwest gate of Siena, took out a double-fired cannon battle, and released three in a row as a code to contact the city...... The cipher means - attack from this gate in three hours......

The reason why the attack was launched three hours later was because the artillery battle was so loud that it must have alarmed many of the Sienese defenders at this time. Even, some Sienese officers will be suspicious and vigilant. If you attack at this point, you may hit the muzzle of the gun......

If you attack three hours later, it's different. No matter how curious the Sienese defenders were, they should be tired after 3 hours. Moreover, the middle of the night itself is very tired, and you don't sleep for 3 hours, do you want to trap people? Even the inquisitive defenders should be on guard for an hour. After relaxing, I will continue to sleep...... At that time, it was just right to seize the city gates......

……

At this time, in the city of Siena, near the northwest gate, the three spies in charge of the Italian branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, who were scattered and hidden in three small courtyards, shook at the same time - they knew that the time they were waiting for had come......

During this time, the three spy leaders slept during the day, and at night, they sat there and listened to the sounds—waiting for the sound of the cannonballs...... Their task, also after hearing the voice, three hours later, with 3 squads of 40 dead soldiers, armed with swords and shields, rushed to the inside of the northwest gate of Siena......

After hearing three "double cannon shots", the trio immediately stood up and began to prepare for the attack in three hours. While their men were still asleep, the three of them solemnly took out a hanging key from their chests and quietly walked to the basement in their respective small courtyards......

After opening the basement, the "goods" in the three basements were revealed - a batch of single knives, wooden shields and leather armor......

The single knife and the wooden shield are ordinary goods, and of course, there is no need for too high-end goods for these dead soldiers. As for leather armor, it is not rhinoceros leather armor, but ordinary cowhide leather armor. There's no way, the main rhinoceros leather armor on Marin's side is not enough, how can it be sent into the city for these hired "outsiders"? Only the three leaders were their own people, and the leather armor they wore was a double layer of special leather armor......

At about two o'clock in the morning, the three leaders woke up their men in their respective courtyards and sent their swords, shields, and leather armor down. Then, the people of the two courtyards, all armed and armed, followed the leader to the courtyard closest to the northwest gate, and crowded inside, waiting for the time for the final launch......

At 2:50 a.m., only 10 minutes before the appointed time, the three chiefs began to give each of them a bowl of liquor to drink to strengthen their courage. Of course, after these people drank it, they didn't break the bowl like in the TV series. Because, that would have the possibility of alarming the defenders. Therefore, after these people drank the spirits, they all silently put down the bowls, and then lined up to walk to the courtyard gate......

At the same time, outside the northwest city gate, Marin also lurked near the city gate with a large army on time, just waiting for the city gate to open......

……

At three o'clock in the morning, suddenly, on the inside of the northwest gate of Siena, shouts of killing suddenly erupted. Then, the sound of swords and guns clashing and screams came. Apparently, the death squads in the city made a move......

Marin was overjoyed, so with a wave of his hand, he sent his sword and shield soldiers to lean towards the city gate......

……

However, half an hour passed, and the shouting and killing in the city continued, but the city gates were not opened......

……

Let's look at the cave in the gate......

At this time, in the city gate hole, there was a fierce man who looked very "Schwarzenegger", also holding a sword and shield, with a group of defenders, who was struggling to resist the impact of the death squad...... The death squad rushed many times, but they were stopped by this fierce man of the defenders who was too strong to speak......

Speaking of which, Marin is also unlucky, if he hadn't launched an attack tonight, he might not have encountered this "Schwarzenegger". Because, this cargo is not responsible for defending the northwest gate at all, but from the south gate.

The reason is simple - this cargo has a good friend stationed at the Northwest Gate. Tonight, this guy happened to be on duty, so he came to play with a friend. And his friend happened to be in charge of guarding the northwest gate tonight, so this thing also lived here......

That is, the military discipline of Italian mercenaries is average, and in the Beihai Army, even if they are colleagues, they cannot be allowed to live in the barracks casually......

But it was such a mistake that made Marin unlucky - this ancient copycat version of "Schwarzenegger" actually led a group of weak Italian mercenaries to block the onslaught of 40 dead soldiers in turn, guarding the city gate for half an hour...... This fully confirms the Nah's theory that "a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep......

Although the quality of the Italian mercenaries was average, half an hour was enough for the defenders in the city to react. As a result, the 40 warriors of the death squad in the northwest gate were surrounded by the Sienese defenders in the city......

……

"Oops! The night raid failed! When he saw that a large number of Sienese defenders began to pour out of the city, Marin knew that the night attack had been a complete failure. Moreover, he also took three excellent spies and 40 warriors hired at a high price......
