Chapter 808: Breakthrough

As soon as the three royal hunting grounds keepers dared to tell the sergeant the truth, Isabel would shoot a heavy arrow at the foot of the wall to the right of the fence gate. In the case of a close-range shot, the heavy arrow will pass through the heads of the three guards in an instant, just like a firearm in later generations. The first captured caretaker closest to her shook his head as he peeked at her. Isabel didn't speak, just tilted her head to the right again.

The caretaker, who had eaten a feast of barbecued mutton, had no choice but to shout at the halberd soldier according to Professor Isabel's words: "Sergeant, I will not lie! The English hid in the village of Blakenes to drink wine and eat meat! ”

Finally, the middle-aged sergeant guarding the left side of the fence gate opened his eyes and left the stone gate frame pillar against which he leaned. With his halberd in hand, he went to the gate of the fence and looked at the dark road behind the three men, the village with a light or two flashing in the distance, and listened to the sound of the waves lapping against the reef in the Bay of Blakeness on the left side of the wall. Finally, he raised his head and looked up at the sky where the sun seemed to be about to rise.

The halberd soldier looked at each other through the fence gate, and said unhurriedly, "Farmer, come back when the sun rises." ”

"Sergeant, I will swear to God that the English are in our village!" The hunting ground keeper eagerly grabbed the fence in front of him and shouted. He thought he was not lying, so he dared to swear to God. Dozens of Englishmen, of course, did appear here, although instead of feasting and drinking in the village, they hid at the foot of the walls and on the hills next to him.

The two Catholic sergeants looked at each other, and felt that the other did not look like they were lying. Only then did the middle-aged sergeant cheer up and slowly asked, "Where are the English?" How many people are there? What are they doing? ”

Hiding in the dark, Isabel didn't expect these Scots to talk endlessly, frowning and thinking quickly. Soon, Baldwin whispered to Baldwin behind him, "You and Fast climb the wall with a ladder and kill the two sergeants." ”

Baldwin nodded, immediately turned around, folded his hands, spread them flat on his lower abdomen, and bowed his head at Fass behind him, "Go up." ”

While the sergeant was still chattering with the guard, Fast jerked his old partner's shoulders and stepped on the other's hands. As Baldwin struggled underneath, Fast leapt upwards and grabbed the top edge of the wall nearly two men high. As he climbed the wall and disappeared into the darkness, Baldwin said to Isabel in front of him, "Your Excellency, he's in." ”

"Good." Isabel nodded, twisted back and forth the three fingers of her right hand that held the bowstring and the tail of the arrow, and continued to shoot at any time.

The sergeant guarding the right side of the gate couldn't help but yawn for a while when he saw that the middle-aged sergeant was still talking to the guard. For a moment, he felt a very sharp pain coming from his back. Just as he was about to scream, he suddenly found a sword with black and red blood stabbing out of his chest without a sound.

The halberd watched as his chest was pierced by the weapon, and before he could scream, he was unconscious. Fast, who was hiding behind the halberd, drew his sword sharply, and with a gauntlet stabbing sword covered in Scotsman's blood, he pounced viciously at the middle-aged sergeant two or three paces away.

After the two sergeants guarding the gate fell to the ground and died, Fast retrieved the key from the middle-aged sergeant and unlocked the iron lock that locked the gate. With the sound of the fence door being opened, ...... sound came, Isabel and the others, who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, rushed into Blakeness Castle......

As the crowd standing in the square inside the castle looked around nervously and quietly, Isabel noticed a row of two-story houses on the right side of the gate, near the city walls. Immediately, a code signal was issued, and about 10 members of the sneak attack team quietly walked towards the row of dead houses with weapons in hand. Then, 10 more members were sent to search the left front near the coastal wall for several two-story buildings.

"Hall, Miller, you two take these three Scots aside and put them in check. If they dare to escape, they will be killed immediately. Isabel walked over to the guard behind her and whispered a new order.

Then, with the remaining Baldwin, Ralph and other 9 team members, they walked in the dark towards the main castle building on the left side in front of them. When everyone came to the main building, they found that there was a wall outside the main building, which was high on the left and low on the right, surrounding and surrounding the main building. As Isabel stood at the wooden gate in the middle of the wall, contemplating a way to break through, Baldwin whispered in her ear, "Your Excellency, how did you rush in through this gate?" ”

Isabel didn't speak, but took a few steps back to observe the left and right sides of the wall and the main building standing tall inside. Soon, she returned to the crowd and said to her squire Ralph, "You wait outside the door, waiting for my code." ”

Then he said to Baldwin and Fast, "Shoot your hooks up the walls with your crossbows and climb up with your ropes." ”

Fortunately, it was four or five o'clock in the morning, and the knights and sergeants stationed in the castle were snoozing and sleeping. Otherwise, the sneak attack team would not be able to break through the second wall of the castle for a while. Just listen to "Whoosh! Sou! With two sounds, two crossbow arrows with anchor hooks were fired accurately at the battlement at the top of the wall, which was almost 14 feet (about 4.27 meters) high.

When Baldwin and the others hooked the battlements with the anchor hooks at the top of the arrows, they still did not hear footsteps or any Scotsman sound from inside the walls. Immediately, when the two of them pulled the rope connecting the tail of the arrow, they sent a secret signal to Isabel standing outside the city gate, "Goo... Goo ......"

After receiving the code, Isabel hid in the darkness on the right side of the gate with her bow and arrow, and whispered to Ralph standing in front of the door, "Let's begin." ”

"Bah... Bang... Ralph knocked on the door three times. However, for a short period of time, no one was heard responding to his knock. Feeling a little incredulous, he glanced at Isabel a few paces to the right. The other man nodded at him, and he knocked on the door three more times, this time harder.

After a while, a thick voice speaking Low Land Scots finally appeared inside the gate, "Who is it?" ”

Ralph tried his best to imitate the voice of one of the gatekeepers before him, and deliberately replied casually, "It's me, open the door." ”

"George, do you want to be lazy again?" The voice inside the door rang out again.

"Stupid, open the door." Ralph pretended to shout mysteriously.
