264, Hump Fort Attack and Defense (3)
"That's right!" Zhang Boyin shook his fist excitedly when he heard this. "Just sneak up on the enemy's camp at night and smash their trebuchets. At the very least, they won't be able to break through the walls tomorrow. Without trebuchets, it would have been impossible to get to the city with ladders and hooks alone, without five times the losses of the defenders. ”
"Unfortunately, we tried." Another knight who attended the meeting said with a wry smile: "It's just that during the day, the enemy's vanguard is setting up camp to make siege equipment, and the follow-up troops have not yet appeared. We launched a surprise attack while the enemy camp was still in full swing, but the enemy reacted quickly, and we were forced to retreat after we had time to destroy one of their trebuchets. The Wyndham knight was mortally wounded during his retreat and received an arrow in the leg. After that attack, the other side once again strengthened its defense, and it was probably impossible to attack again. ”
"It's a pity." Shi Jinxin sighed helplessly when he heard this. The Manchado army is not a fool, and after being attacked by the Prairli army during the day, it is natural that they are more and more cautious about their vigilance, and they will not let their guard down at night.
Especially after learning that the ambush they had sent to ambush reinforcements from Prairly Town was routed.
As for sending a small number of elites to infiltrate the camp to sabotage, it can only be said that the idea is good but not realistic. Although there are several knights in the Rog Knights who are assassins by profession, their strength level is in the middle class. While mid-tier assassins can also stealth with the help of the Shadow Block to some extent, they are not yet comfortable navigating enemy camps full of enemy troops - not to mention that none of them are in Humpback Fort. As for Shi Jinxin, his 'Wind Walk' stealth effect far exceeds the 'stealth' of high-level assassins, and even high-level fighters may not be able to detect it. But even the stealth effect of Swift Wind Walk may not be completely invulnerable. At the very least, the Priest Warclers in the world of Ibel have a 'True Eye' skill that can peek through the invisibility of the Wind Walk, and according to the information that Prairly has in his possession, at least three of the knights under the command of Earl Bilgard are Clergymans. Once discovered, Shi Jinxin, who went deep into the enemy camp alone, could only be ten dead.
Shi Jinxin wanted to come up with a plan to infiltrate the enemy camp alone to sabotage, but he also knew that as soon as his suggestion came out, Luna Maria would definitely oppose it. Since Shi Jinxin and Meiling secretly dragged on the matter, since everyone knew about it, how could LunaMaria, who is Meiling's sister, not know? At that time, if Meiling knew that he wanted to take risks, I am afraid that girl would cry on the spot because she was worried about Shi Jinxin's safety. Thinking of Meiling's crying pear blossoms and rain, Shi Jinxin could only drag out the adventurous ideas in his mind and throw them out of the clouds.
Since the plan of sneaking up on the enemy camp at night could not be implemented, everyone could only take advantage of the night to step up preparations for all kinds of fortification equipment, and prepare for the siege battle after dawn the next day.

At the same time that Shi Jinxin and the other three assisted Luna, Maria and others to strengthen the garrison of Hump Fort overnight. The elite knights of the Knights led by Kasha and more than 20 traversers led by Li Xiang have entered the small plain area where Humpback Fort is located.
After Li Xiang said hello to his companions, he left the group for a short distance and began to slow down. After a short time, the infantry team of Xuanyuan Manor, which was following up in the rear, caught up, and Li Xiang joined him.
"Lao Yang, you also saw it, right?" Li Xiang and Yang Qianyu, who led the infantry team, asked as soon as they met.
Yang Qianyu nodded, raised his hand and nodded at the void beside him: "Looking at the flickering points of light, the number of enemy troops is much more than imagined. ”
The Elven Lieutenant owned by each Traverser can be set to either 'Visible to Outsiders' or 'Invisible', but the Minimap Screen and SMS Contact Screen displayed by the Elven Lieutenant are only visible to the Traverser himself. That's why Yang Qianyu will make void pointing actions from time to time (using maps or text messages).
The Forest Sanctuary Base allows the Travelers to have Elven Lieutenants, which is only recently possible. At present, only Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu and Li Jifeng have elven lieutenants among the team members who are currently fighting, and the small map radar with a radius of five kilometers from the observation range allows the three of them to quickly have a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the Hump Fortress.
"But the situation is okay." Li Xiang said to Yang Qianyu: "As long as we can arrive in time, it is unlikely that the Manchado army will capture Hump Fort. ”
"It's just that those enemy guard posts on the southwest side of the castle are a bit annoying." Yang Qianyu looked at the scattered red dots on the southwest of Hump Fort displayed on the radar on the minimap, shook his head and said, "If these guys find out our whereabouts, I'm afraid we will have to face a large army coming from the enemy's main camp." Although our alchemy soldiers are not afraid of fighting at night, Count Kasha and they are afraid that they will not be able to cope with it. ”
"Kashya must have thought of this as well." Li Xiang nodded and said, "So she has already sent someone to deal with it at the moment." ”

Hans had always considered himself a very ordinary man. He has an ordinary appearance, an ordinary brain, and a very ordinary job, except that his strength is greater than others, and he can no longer find any advantages. He thought that he could go on like this in this life. But right now, this ordinary man had to leave his home and stand in the field in the middle of the night to watch.
Damn it! For the sake of the gods, he didn't want to come to this hellish place at all to fight this hellish battle! Although the guards under the old Lord Bilgard, and his colleagues, there are indeed many people who are looking forward to taking advantage of this great opportunity to make military achievements. But Hans wasn't sure his luck was really that good. There are not many dead and wounded in any battle, and I don't know when, I am one of them. However, he could not disobey the orders of his master.
Hans was an ordinary farmer before he joined the army, and he had an older brother in his family, but his brother had been killed in a war between noble lords ten years earlier. Because of this, he had the opportunity to replace his brother as a soldier of the Order under the command of Earl Bilgard. Hans had heard his father say that the opponent of the last war was also the target of this attack, Count Leopold.
On that occasion, Manchado's side was defeated and many people died......
He still remembers when he left home, his mother's tearful eyes and trembling words still lingering in his ears.
"Hans, my good son, we only hope that you will come back safely......"
The young soldier sighed weakly and looked at the towering castle in the distance. At night, the building, which looks majestic in the sunlight, has a faintly eerie feel. He shivered unconsciously, and involuntarily moved closer to the fire beside him, as if this was the only way to dispel the chill in his heart.
Let's hope nothing happens tonight, right? Hans, the young soldier, thought to himself.
The surrounding light dimmed little by little. Before you know it, it's hard to see a few feet away, even by the light of the fire.
"The firewood is running out." Sensing the darkness of the campfire, Hans turned his head and picked up a few pieces of wood from his side, ready to throw them into the fire to help burn them. At this moment, a bright light flashed before his eyes.
Flutter.
Hans felt a chill in his throat, and then he felt a tightness in his chest. He inhaled heavily, only to find that the air he had inhaled seemed to be leaking out of his throat, not a single piece of it into his chest.
The strength passed quickly, and consciousness began to blur. Hans's hand holding the firewood involuntarily let go, and the firewood scattered all over the ground, and his body fell into the fire.
After a while, the bonfire, which had been blown by the wind like a ghost fire, suddenly burned vigorously.
