All twenty ballista carts were replaced with siege ammunition, and Toto showed a confident expression as soon as he touched the iron frame of the ballista cart he had developed. Both Franklin and Winotki www.biquge.info Fun are interested in the ballista's ammo, but Toto pretends to mysteriously say that he'll see its effects later.

"Ready, all the ballista trucks are aimed at the gates of the castle, please give the order of Squadron Leader Toto!"

"Captain Winoti, there are no enemy reinforcements for the time being, but those patrol cavalry of the East Oguna Empire have already discovered us!"

Winotki didn't care about anything else, she just stared at the ammunition that had been mounted on the ballista cart, as if there was something out of her mind.

"Toto, can these shells really break through the castle gates?"

"Surely! The castle gates will be completely destroyed by my ballista! However, this ammunition is scarce, only five ballista carts are loaded, and they can only fire one round!"

Winoki was skeptical, and she saw that the ammunition for the ballista carts was not the old siege munitions, the kind of huge iron pillar-like weapons that effectively hit the enemy fortifications, but what Toto brought with her was like a "long barrel" full of fine wine.

"Alright, it's time to storm the city!" Franklin and Winotki were each deployed outside the range of the castle's crossbows with two thousand mercenaries, neither of them believing that the five ballistae carts loaded with special siege ammunition could destroy the castle's gates from such a distance.

But when the five siege munitions hit the castle gate with incredible accuracy, Winotch and Franklin were dumbfounded—the five ballista ammunition contained some liquid of indistinct color, but it was terrifyingly corrosive! In just a few minutes, the castle gate, which was mainly made of hardwood and iron bars, was corroded to the point that even the thick iron bars were corroded by half! The liquid was like a fire with oil, and it was terrifyingly fast.

While Franklin was still in a daze, the rest of Toto's ballista carts began firing ordinary ballista ammunition at the castle walls, attacking the opposing crossbowmen. Winotki immediately understood and commanded the mercenaries behind her to rush in the direction of the castle. The "Midtown" was only a very small castle, and it had no moat at all, so when the thick castle gate was destroyed, the Imperial troops guarding the gate were terrified. As soon as they saw the thousands of mercenaries rushing towards the castle in a murderous manner, most of them forgot their duties, and the rest began to flee into the distance of the vanished city gates.

On the other side, Vittorio had already taken advantage of the night to intercept and eliminate all the Imperial patrol cavalry that appeared around the "Left City". Now all that remains of this small, lonely town is the measly walled city walls, on which all the Imperial defenders stand, but Vittorio can still see with the naked eye that many of the defensive battlements are empty. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that now it is only necessary to attack the city from all directions, and it is absolutely impossible for this small town to withstand more than 6,000 wolf-like mercenaries.

"Vittorio, I've always wanted to tell you something..."Ligu saw that Vittorio was just besieging but not attacking, and he remembered some personal matters.

"Speak. ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point. As a military doctor, I know what wounded patients need, and I also know that the other captains have some unnoticed 'diseases' in their hearts," Ligu didn't dare to look at Vittorio, even if the other party was just a short underage boy, "Many captains and mercenaries have been disgusted by Vittorio's actions as deputy superintendent of you... Dissatisfaction, maybe because of your extraordinary talent, or maybe because... Deputy Warden, do you understand what I mean?"

Vittorio thought for about half a minute before replying: "I can understand, in fact, I understood a long time ago, after all, I haven't experienced many things with you, but I have received special attention from Captain Fidel. ”

Ligu stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! The deputy superintendent is really a person who understands! Then I have to say more... Compared with marching and fighting, overall planning, mobilizing supplies, gathering intelligence, etc., sometimes it is very important to have a good relationship with other companions..."

"That's right, but I'm the only one with Fidel," Vittorio's tone was cold, and the warm-hearted Ligu felt a prickle in his face, "I'll think more about you in the future, but I must finish what I'm going to do first." Vittorio's cold response might have been met with a rage if he had been listened to by another listener. But Ligu had long thought about the embarrassment he would face if he stood up and be a "peacemaker", so he only silently accepted Vittorio's idea and didn't mention anything else.

Three thousand horseback mercenaries have appeared not far from the imperial military camp, and all the sighted mercenaries can see the chaotic imperial military camp with the naked eye, and the "burning war horses" are scattered from the imperial military camp, like meteors within reach, and no imperial soldiers notice the mercenaries who have approached hundreds of meters at all.

"It worked!" Luka's eyes reflected in the skyrocketing fire, and the improvised watchtowers were on fire, "Selena and Fenrir made it! And it was a complete success!" The others also showed excited expressions, and Fidel's expression was the same, but his desire for a complete victory was no longer suppressed.

Fei De immediately divided his men into ten squads and swept through the west, south, and north sides of the barracks, giving priority to the cavalry who had escaped from the barracks. The current Imperial military camp has been completely destroyed by the chaos created by Selena, and both Fidel and Ayana can clearly see the tragic situation in the military camp, and Selena obviously did not just burn the war horse.

The ten-legged cavalry mercenaries did not weaken because of their small number, but instead gave them a desperate blow when the Imperial troops who were enveloped in fire tried to escape. As early as Selena's return from Maev, the cavalry squadrons of the Potato Mercenaries had learned to wield the bow, and weapons that could kill enemies from a medium distance became the key to intercepting soldiers who escaped from the barracks.

And when Fid walked around to the east of the barracks with a small number of cavalry, he happened to run into Selena and Fenrir who rushed out of the barracks, and except for the two of them, the other thirty-eight camouflaged cavalry were gone.

"Commander!" Selena saw Fielder and Patrick covered in flames at a glance, "You came just in time! None of the soldiers in the Imperial Barracks can escape!"

"Well done, Selena! The entire barracks are on fire, and even if we don't take the initiative to attack, the Imperial forces that remain in the barracks will be wiped out. Feder was overjoyed, and Selena's safe return was the best outcome of the plan.

"No, Commander," Selena's face changed slightly, "Only a small number of Imperial soldiers remained in the barracks, and we were able to create this scene with forty men..."

Fenrir, whose face was stained with ashes, also added: "The enemy is not even two thousand men, and the more than ten thousand Imperial soldiers who should have remained here are gone. ”

As Selena and Fenrir said, there were not many Imperial soldiers left in the barracks, and most of those who remained were old, weak, sick and disabled. The Imperial soldiers were either asleep or sick, and they had no chance of escaping the barracks, so the ten cavalry teams assigned by Fide did not capture much.

A wave of uneasiness unconsciously spread throughout the body, even if it was to relieve the siege of the "right city", the imperial army should not pour out. And judging from the scene in front of the Imperial Army camp being completely burned down, the commander here obviously didn't know about the surprise attack of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, could it be that God really hated the Mageni Principality so much, so that the Imperial soldiers got extraordinary luck and took the opportunity of the Mageni Principality?

Fidel's complaint lasted less than half a minute, and Ayana knew which direction the Imperial soldiers were moving based on the traces on the ground.

"They entered the forest," Ayana analyzed, based on the traces of sand and mud, "there were only two ways to enter the forest, one was to retreat to the rear, and the other was to take a detour in the direction of the Count of Camphen's barracks. ”

"They even left the wounded soldiers and food and grass behind, how could they retreat?" Selena's words made everyone realize that the Imperial Army of East Oguna was really very lucky, because the Imperial Army that was originally here had obviously set off to attack the Count of Camhen's military camp at night, and they just didn't encounter Field's night attack - only one side would pounce, and that was Field.

"Count Campham has not pressed all his forces, and he will certainly be able to withstand the Imperial Army, which is inferior to him. ”

"No, the Imperial army is obviously inferior to the Earl of Canham, why would they choose to take the initiative to attack the Earl of Canham, who has been holding on? ”

Lukka suddenly remembered the scene when he sent a letter to the Earl of Camhen, who after reading the plan proposed by Fidel, personally promised to send troops to contain the "Right City", which was known to the other subordinates of the Earl of Camhen, but those nobles should not know Fide's true intentions.

The more Fei De thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he realized that Count Canham's military camp might be the most dangerous place, and the mercenary groups of the three mercenary guilds had been haunting Fei De's heart, and at this moment it was even more reappeared, as if it was a haunting nightmare.

At the same time, the leader of the guinea pig mercenary group, Birel, had already appeared to the west of the regular army camp of the Duchy of Mageni, he was not the first participant in the sneak attack plan to arrive at the intended location, and their plan for tonight with the Imperial Army of East Oguna was to work together to defeat the Count of Camhen who remained in place.

"Let me run so far... If those mercenaries find me, I'm going to be besieged...", Birel estimated that Orlando and Reese should appear in different directions outside the barracks, ready to storm the barracks. The Imperial soldiers, who had learned of the scattered forces of the Count of Camhen because of important information, were also ready, and the forces of the four sides appeared in four directions, completely surrounding the camp of the regular army of the Duchy of Magini.

Birrell took a sip of his wine and continued to mutter, "Now it's just a matter of waiting for a signal... Is that Viscount Robin really reliable? If he had brought up the head of the Earl of Camphen, I would have ended my mission early and gone back to sleep..."
