Chapter 13: Night Attack
The moment we open the dungeon, we really appreciate what kind of place we have come to, where humanity is a completely cheap slogan, and barbarism and cruelty are the themes here.
βThe Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 12
As the sun sets, more than 30 figures sit under a dirt bag at the edge of the basin.
The slanted sunset stretched the figure long, and everyone did not speak, but looked at the slightly emaciated back of Second Lieutenant Sean.
And in the hand of Second Lieutenant Sean, he is holding a piece of white paper, which is densely patterned, as long as you look closely, you can see that this is a military defense map.
For the drawing that Terry handed him, looking at the standard logo on it, Ensign Sean didn't have much curiosity, after all, Terry brought him too many magical performances, but the tight defense system on the drawing made Ensign Sean frown.
It was completely unexpected to know that this was just a bandit's nest, not a military base of the regular army, and that such a tight defense system would appear.
"It seems that there should be capable people in the bandits' lair."
After looking at the drawings several times, Sean muttered to himself. In the face of such a defense system, although Sean graduated from the famous Royal Military Academy, he couldn't think of any good plan for a while.
It's a pity that leading these remnants, Sean doesn't even have a person around him who can counsel now.
If it's an ordinary encounter, it can be fought well, after all, everyone is a veteran of the war, but this time is different, it is a tough battle, and it has to face such a tight defense, Sean really feels that he can't do it.
"Brother Terry, what do you think?"
This is the case with the army, and although there is a lot of disagreement about Terry killing all the captives without permission, after the incident has passed, Sean reverts to his previous attitude towards Terry.
"Report to the second lieutenant, I don't have any opinions?"
Although Terry had the assistance of the system and temporarily drew reconnaissance drawings that made Sean even admire, he was just an ordinary soldier before, not a professional staff officer.
Hearing Terry's answer, Sean was slightly disappointed, but he was relieved to think about it, although everything Terry showed made him feel magical, but the age was there, if he could really say any tricks at this time, it would not be magical, but demonic.
"All of them, check the equipment, and act on time at 17 o'clock."
Since there were no qualified staff officers, Sean could only start giving orders according to what he thought in his heart.
According to the drawings that Terry brought back, Sean really couldn't think of a good way, and the only way was to sneak attack at night!
In fact, in this era, whether it is for the attacking side or the defending side, night raids are a taboo for the army, because of the unscientific diet structure, most of the people in this era suffer from night blindness.
Although the night attack is very dangerous, and the victory or defeat is actually five or five, Sean has no choice at this moment.
Sean, who knows a little about the Yigan Plateau, knows very well that in this vast grassland, there may be hundreds of square kilometers without people, and their supplies are not much left, if they don't find a suitable base and don't say anything ideal, it is a luxury for this team to survive.
And the basin where the bandits' lair is located, although it is not the most suitable base, but the unique geographical environment allows Sean and them to have a temporary safe place to stay.
The night on the prairie was still so cold, but the moon hung high in the sky tonight.
The moon on the plateau looks very big, if you are marching on the grassland, it is naturally very pleasant to have such a bright moon, but Sean really wants to shoot down this nasty moon in the sky with one shot.
After more than five hours of marching, the group had reached the woods in front of the small fortress.
This road can be described as full of dangers, and fortunately there is Terry, otherwise let alone a sneak attack on the fortress, I am afraid that among these thirty or so people, few of them will be able to come here completely.
"Terry, with your marksmanship and the rifle in your hand, how long will it take to take out those sentry posts?"
Hiding behind a large tree, Sean whispered to Terry beside him. Unless Sean knows the god Jada (the god of nature that the people of the Ikan Highlands) can hope for, the only hope left is the rifle in Terry's hand.
Take advantage of Terry's accurate marksmanship and the high rate of fire of his peculiar rifle to neutralize the threat from those watchtowers in a matter of seconds.
The rest is relatively simple, taking advantage of the time difference between the sentry being killed and the rest of the people in the fortress reacting, quickly crossing 50 meters of open land, as long as he can enter the fortress, Sean believes that with the combat ability of his warriors, he will definitely be able to deal with the threat in the fortress.
"Three seconds after the gunshot, you can act."
Terry tightened the rifle in his hand, poked his head out again, and glanced at the vague figure above the fortress before replying in a firm tone.
With Terry's current eyesight, the sentry above the fort, although it can't be observed as clearly as in the daytime, but there is still no problem in distinguishing the specific number of people, counting the number of people on the fort, there are six people who can be seen, and the eight bullets in the Garand rifle should be able to solve it at once.
"It's up to you."
After patting Terry on the shoulder and giving him an encouraging look, Ensign Sean reached the other fighters and prepared them for battle.
Deftly climbing up the tree and finding a suitable spot, Terry picked up his rifle and took another look at the fort.
It's just that at this moment, Sean and the others on the ground didn't notice that there was a swarthy multi-tubular object on Terry's head.
"Shimmer night vision goggles."
In order to ensure his shooting accuracy, Terry opened the hook again, and according to the system's recommendations, he exchanged for this super night combat equipment.
Of course, the first time to use such a high-tech, Terry was also a little unaccustomed, and according to the prompts of the system, he pulled the night vision goggles in front of his eyes.
The world in his eyes was different in an instant, a piece of green, adjusted the focus, and the figure on the watchtower seemed to be pulled in front of him in an instant, although there was only a white outline, and the face could not be seen clearly, but with Terry's marksmanship now, it was not too easy to quickly kill these "close" targets.
"Tom tom tom...... Ding"
After eight consecutive gunshots, when Sean and the others rushed out of the woods, there was no longer a single figure standing on the watchtower.
However, to Terry's surprise, when he killed all the sentinels, he didn't notice any major movement in the fort.
Although oil lamps were lit in a few houses seconds after the gunfire stopped, no one rushed out.
At this time, Sean and the others had already rushed to the front of the fortress, there was no imaginary sneak attack from the secret sentry, and there was no siren from the gunfire in the middle of the night, as if there were only a few people on the watchtower in this huge fortress.
"Demoman prepares."
Although he didn't understand what the reason was, Sean under the fortress still acted according to the plan.
