Chapter 149: Night Attack on Baden
"Yes! A war of this scale still can't be fought by a hairy boy, it should be his old ghost master who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. An older sentry leaned against the battlements and stretched.
"Even if his master comes, it may not be useful, and the city of Baden is impregnable, and it cannot be broken by manpower at all. Another sentry, leaning on the battlements, patted his butt on the heavy walls beneath the walls, evidently full of blind confidence in the city he was defending.
"Don't say that, if it wasn't for the timely action of the great magician Amaar two days ago, the result might not have been good?"
"Huh, what's the sound?" said the older soldier suddenly.
Several people were discussing the siege and defense of Baden, which seemed to be over, when suddenly a dull sound came from afar.
"It was the sound of horses' hooves, as if it were a brigade of cavalry. ”
"How can there be a large group of cavalry at this time, is it that the chasing soldiers we sent are back, go to the city tower and call that little magician.
A young sentry turned and ran in the direction of the castle tower, where there was a rest room for officers, but after the siege of Baden began, in addition to the ordinary soldiers, there were also a few junior magicians on guard every night, and their role was to release a lighting magic into the field outside the city every once in a while to prevent enemy attacks.
The sentry soon returned, followed by a young man in a black mage robe with a wand in his hand, and without a few sentinels to explain, the young mage had heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, he raised his wand, chanted a spell, and then a ball of light flew out of the crystal at the top of the wand, and burst into a dazzling light in the air more than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
"It's our army!"
Through the light of the illumination magic, several sentries could already see the eagle banners and the armor of the cavalry rushing from below the city.
At this time, the cavalry who came from the city also saw the sentry in the city, and one of the leaders shouted at the city:
"Brother in the city, I am the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Wing of the Cavalry Regiment of Baden, and on the orders of General Gracis, there is an urgent military situation to report to General Geraint, and please make it convenient to open the city gates. ”
As soon as the sentry in the city heard that the other party said that there was an urgent military situation, he hurriedly reported to the leader on duty, and the leader did not dare to hesitate to hurry up to the city wall, and by the light of the torches in the city, he glanced at the cavalry team outside for a long time, and did not see anything abnormal. However, according to the rules, the city gate is not allowed to open to the public in the middle of the night at this time.
The leader of the team is also very difficult to understand the situation, the following is his own team, and he keeps saying that there is an emergency military situation, but his military position is only a squad leader, and he has no right to open the city to let them in, and then he thought about it for a while, and decided to adopt a compromise idea, first use a hanging basket to hang up two people, and then he took the two directly to the headquarters to ask for a meeting with the commander-in-chief.
The cavalry below deliberated for a while and agreed to the plan, and then two men who looked like officers ascended the tower first.
The two sides met, and the leader on duty personally escorted the two to the headquarters with a team of people. Leave some to continue to stand guard near the tower. As the enemy retreated, the situation was less urgent, and the defenders' headquarters had moved from near the walls to the Overseer's Palace, about two miles away.
As the crowd left the castle and hurried towards the Overseer's Palace, no one noticed, and several figures nimble larger than monkeys had already climbed up the smooth outer walls, and then cautiously approached the castle tower in the darkness.
A few idle and bored sentries watched the captain escort the cavalry away, just wanted to turn their heads, the back of the neck was hit hard, and suddenly the eyes were dark, and the people had fallen to the ground, and several black-clothed people quickly appeared behind them, holding their fallen bodies, and then dragging them to the dark, after a squirming sound, several sentries dressed up, but with completely different appearances and temperaments, walked out.
Several people walked into the duty room responsible for guarding the rise and fall of the city gate, and there were first a few voices of talking, then a few muffled noises. Then two more men came out, one of them quietly, lighter than the ape, and swept all the way over the wall, and climbed up a towering lookout post, and soon took out the two absent-minded sentinels above.
The other man in black walked to the top of the city, took a torch, and drew a circle in the distance, repeating it three times, and after a while, the same faint torch signal came from the distant night.
The man in black returned to the room, and after gesturing to his companion, the squeaky winch of the gate winch sounded. In the distant night, there was also the dull sound of horses' hooves, both of which sounded so terrifying in the silence of the night.
The movement at the city gate quickly alarmed the nearby patrol, and a team under the leadership of the captain quickly rushed over to confirm the situation, but as soon as they approached the door of the duty room, several figures suddenly appeared in the shadows next to them, and a team of twenty people fell to the ground screaming under a burst of golden sword light before they even had time to warn.
By this time the drawbridge over the moat had been lowered, the gates had been opened two paces high, and a battalion of cavalry had been waiting outside the city and had leaped in. The leading knight, with unruly blond hair and a wide forehead and heavy eyebrows, was none other than the chief knight of the Templar Order--- Gutsian.
The two people who had just gone to the headquarters with the Sentinel Leader were also covered in blood at this time and returned to the team.
The guard post in the city finally discovered the enemy attack, and a terrible whistle woke up the Sig soldiers who were still immersed in sleep, and the barracks soon became chaotic, and the soldiers who were still immersed in the rhythm of victory did not react to what was happening for a while.
But Gutsian had immediately ordered all the cavalry to take up positions in the open space at the city gate, and then led his team to attack the still confused defenders in the barracks near the city gate, holding Higg's military flag and wearing Higg's military uniforms and armor, and firing rockets at the surrounding houses and tents as they charged, causing flames and black smoke to rise.
"The dragon knight Graxis has surrendered to the Divine Seat of Light, and he who knows the times has not quickly put down his weapon. The cavalry shouted at the chaotic Higg barracks.
The Higg soldiers, who did not know the truth, thought that it was the army that rebelled. As a result, hostility arose towards all friendly forces, and even suspicion of military orders from above, and it was slow to organize effective resistance and counterattacks. At this time, the cavalry of the Knights Templar outside the city had already arrived.
