At night, the tyrannical north hovered low in the air, rolling up a cloud of sand and snow particles, which rushed up to the city walls with the wind, and several soldiers who were on the night vigil could not open their eyes, so they hid behind the battlements for a while.

Outside the city, the Saxon Legion hangs like a sharp sword over the city of Leber, and Allen has tripled the number of night patrols, ready to guard against enemy attacks.

It's just that such a night is not to mention fighting, even it is very difficult to hurry, and the soldiers guarding are naturally a little lax, and many people are huddled inside the battlements, too lazy to go out to inspect the situation.

A squad leader of the city guard leaned against the walls of the city wall, staring boredly at the night sky, the wind and snow passing over his head like iron sand from a large-caliber shotgun.

The walls of the city formed a good angle to keep him out of the wind and snow.

"Alas, when is such a day a head?" The squad leader sighed and said, he is forty-six years old this year, and he has only been given the position of squad leader for many years in the army, and the gold coins he earns every month have to support a large family, including parents, wife, four sons and two daughters.

The eldest daughter has reached the age of marriage, but because of her unbearable appearance, no one comes to the door to propose, and marriage is a luxury thing, almost emptying most of their life savings.

"This year's charcoal has risen by three more copper coins, alas, the situation is getting worse every year, I thought that the new lord could bring us some good life, but he only brought war."

This squad leader's name is Old Peter, the original defender of the city of Leber, who has seen the mediocrity of the previous lord, and has survived the chaos of the period when there was no lord, and when he arrived at the new lord of Eugen, he encountered a terrible war.

No matter how bad the first two situations are, they will only make life more difficult, but war will kill people.

Death is a painful thing, and no one wants to die easily, but when you are in the middle of a war, death becomes commonplace.

At this moment, for example, old Peter took one last look at the night sky, and was about to take a nap in his cotton robe, but this glance made him so frightened that he almost jumped on the spot.

Just now he clearly saw that in the wind and snow, there was an unusual flash of light, which was a sharp triangle, like the head of a poisonous snake.

"Damn, that's an arrow!"

The thought crossed Old Peter's mind.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! At the same time, a terrible siren sounded, waking up the night that seemed to be frozen by the cold.

Groups of guards poured out of the battlements with torches, looking around for the so-called enemy.

They were greeted by a rain of arrows that fell like raindrops in the snowflakes.

"Ahh The soldiers were unable to dodge, and were immediately shot by arrows, screaming with blood, and then fell off the city wall with a crooked body.

The arrows were very dense, and the trajectory of the movement became chaotic under the blowing of the strong wind, and the wind blew from outside the city walls, which fueled the power of the arrows, and a soldier wearing heavy armor was directly pierced through the chest by the arrows, and blood foamed immediately from his mouth, and he could not live.

Having lost some of their men, the soldiers of the city guard hurriedly hid in the battlements, avoiding the arrows fired from outside the city.

The rain of arrows lasted only a short time, and there was no follow-up attack, and there were bold guards lying on the city wall and looking out, but all they could see was a hazy darkness.

The attack was like a shrill cry, not like a wolf howl, but like the scream of a falcon, short and urgent.

Eugen was woken up in the middle of the night, and after hearing the news, he hurried to the city wall, but he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.

"What's going on? Where is the enemy? Eugen grabbed a soldier next to him and asked, the soldier was frightened by the attack just now, and replied tremblingly: "No...... I don't know, the other party seems to have such a wave of attacks, and there is no follow-up attack. ”

Eugen let go of the soldier and walked to the edge of the city wall and looked into the distance, where it was almost darkness, with only a few sporadic fires in the Saxon Legion's camp.

"Like, there's something wrong......"

There was no follow-up attack, and the soldiers who had just arrived at the city wall withdrew one after another, and Eugen thought about it without coming up with a result, so he followed him back to his residence and rested.

It took a full hour for such a toss to calm down, so that all the garrisons in the entire city of Lebor did not sleep well, and the enemy's attack was too sudden to be expected.

After another three hours, and in the early hours of the morning, when the night was as dark as thick ink, and the garrison of the city of Lebor was quiet again, wanting to rest for a while.

As a result, another rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky, causing chaos again.

This time, the soldiers of the city guard team were prepared, but there were no casualties, but it still made everyone nervous, and they were woken up again as soon as they fell asleep.

During the night, there were three such surprise attacks, each of which caused confusion among the city guards.

There were five hundred archers in the Saxon legion, and these archers attacked in three waves, harassing the defenders of the city of Leber.

Moreover, the archers took off the white armor of the Saxon soldiers, covered them with black gauze, and went under the cover of night until they reached the foot of the city wall without being detected.

Early the next morning, Eugen and the others gathered to discuss the situation of the battle, and in the night they lost more than a dozen infantrymen and more than thirty wounded.

The casualties were not too great, but the harassment of the enemy caused all the soldiers to not sleep well, and the next day these soldiers looked very tired and their combat strength was reduced.

Eugen was also disturbed once, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and Alan did not sleep well all night.

"The enemy's attack at night is too annoying, but our people can't see them yet, so there is no way to warn them in advance, and it is impossible to fight back." Alan complained helplessly, he had never fought such a humiliating battle.

Eugen also nodded, rubbed the corners of his eyes and said: "Yes, they are very cunning, attacking us from several different places at different times, but the city wall is crooked and there are some building covers, they can come and go as they want, it is really difficult." ”

As he spoke, the two of them sighed together, feeling a little helpless about this situation.

Parma also stood aside, her brow furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking? Parma? Eugen looked up and saw Parma's expression, and asked directly, wanting to see if he would have any good insights.
