Chapter 286: Flames Soar to the Sky
Late at night, the inner city standing in the center of Budi City is like a giant hidden in the night, silently watching this city in the dead of night.
This inner city is a strong fortress built by the father and son of Kumantanas with heavy gold, the city wall is made of hard granite stones, the middle is poured with fine mud mixed with cow and sheep dung, and the outside is also poured with ten layers of hard white lime and green gray inside and outside, which are not slippery and extremely hard after being blown by the wind and sun.
The castle is fifteen meters high, and due to its location in the center of Budi City, there is no moat, but although there is no moat, it is surrounded by patrolling soldiers and a fence full of thorns.
Tang Jie took the four night warriors, prostrate on the ground, his body hidden in the darkness, his eyes only glanced at it slightly, and then he gasped.
This is a solid military fortress!
A Night Soldier leaned over to him, "My lord, what are we going to do?"
Tang Jie's eyes were firmly fixed on the soldiers patrolling back and forth, and said, "Observe first." ”
The group took advantage of the cover of the night, and the soft armor they were wearing was pitch black, and they couldn't see their figures clearly if they didn't look closer.
After observing for a while, Tang Jie said, "Let's climb up from there." As he spoke, Tang Jie pointed to a city wall to the east.
Although the patrols on both sides of the city have to cross each other when patrolling back and forth, and each patrol has three people, a total of six people to deal with, it is extremely difficult to infiltrate, but it is far from the towers on the city wall, and there are no torches nearby, and there is cover from night.
After Tang Jie determined the location, a soldier beside him asked, "My lord, what about the patrols under the city, do you need to kill them?"
This soldier's name is Kukutamas, a native of the southern continent, selected by the guards around the elders of the Dada tribe, with a strong physique, strong skills, loyalty and calmness, and a good hand of poison darts, within fifty paces the poison darts can shoot a flying fly, every shot, never missed.
Tang Jie shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, if the patrols outside are killed, even if we can hide the corpses, after a while, the patrols around will find that there are fewer people, and they will definitely warn them, at that time, we may not even have infiltrated the city!"
The soldier beside Tang Jie understood, nodded, and another soldier asked, "Then what should I do, we can't fly!"
This soldier's name was Smirdara, Tang Jie's old subordinate, selected from the pirates, and he was very good at water, and everyone laughed at him: give him a shoe, and he will be able to cross the West Sidritic Sea.
Moreover, he is proficient in all kinds of long and short bows and long and short crossbows, and can assemble a complicated mechanical short crossbow in twenty seconds.
Tang Jie pointed to the soldiers who were patrolling, and said in a low voice: "The soldiers patrolling under the city have a lot of time, we can take advantage of the gap in their patrols to quickly climb to the wall, these patrolling soldiers will not look up, and the soldiers on the city wall will not look down, so as long as we move fast and light enough, when the patrols on and under the city wall pass by, we are lying on the city wall like geckos! Remember our names, dark night! Night is our best protective color!"
When the soldiers heard Tang Jie's words, they were excited and awe-inspiring.
Although Tang Jie said it was simple, it was not easy to do, the patrol had less than two minutes to pass, and in these two minutes, they not only had to run quickly to the city wall, but also quickly set up a human ladder, and then the people above put down the hook, and then let the people below climb up, and finally put away the hook.
Not only can you not make the slightest sound, but if you are not careful, you will be discovered!
These soldiers, who were proud to the bone, did not expect that they would encounter such a problem in their first mission, but the more difficult it was, the more they felt the blood in their bodies boiling fiercely.
Tang Jie glanced at them: "Do you have any other questions?"
Without hesitation, the soldiers replied, "No!"
Tang Jie nodded, pointed to the two teams of patrols on the city wall, and said, "I am in charge of the two on the far left, and each of you is responsible for one of the rest, and you must definitely kill them in an instant, and you can't make a little sound!"
The four soldiers discussed for a while, and after assigning their respective goals, they all nodded their heads vigorously at Tang Jie.
"Okay, check the instruments one last time!" Tang Jie said in a low voice.
The soldiers took out their short crossbows, blow pipes, poison darts, and hooks and checked them, and then made a gesture to indicate that there was no problem.
Tang Jie's eyes stared at the soldiers patrolling the city, and said in a low voice: "Okay, listen to my password, I'll count three times, and then run over at the lightest and fastest speed!one!two!three!!"
Run!!
As soon as the torches held by the patrolmen turned and disappeared into the darkness, five black figures suddenly jumped up from the ground.
Each of them was running at high speed on their toes, and the soles of their feet seemed to have thick pads of flesh like cats, and there was no sound at all, and the distance of more than 100 meters, in just over ten seconds, they ran quickly to the city wall.
As soon as he ran under the wall, one soldier immediately got down on one knee with his back to the wall, his hands clasped together, one hand resting in the palm of the other, facing his teammates who were running fast towards him.
The teammate who ran fast quickly stepped on the lap of the teammate kneeling with one foot, and stepped on the palm of the teammate's hand with the other foot, and then with the force of the teammate sent up, the body rose up and stood on the shoulder of the teammate.
The soldier who climbed up quickly turned around and leaned his back against the wall, his hands still on each other, forming a second ladder of people.
Tang Jie came next, he quickly stepped on the knee of the first layer of the ladder, and then pulled his body up with the force of the other party, and his body climbed up hard, and when he passed the second layer of the ladder, the soldiers of the second layer once again used his palm to support Tang Jie's soles of feet.
Tang Jie's body climbed rapidly in an instant, and flew to a height of more than ten meters, only more than three meters away from the wall, at the moment of climbing to the highest point, Tang Jie quickly pulled out a dagger on his waist that sharpened iron like clay, and after quickly molding on the wall with one hand, he quickly found the gap between the stones and the stones, and quickly stabbed it with the dagger.
After Tang Jie pierced the dagger into the gap between the stones, he tested the firmness of the dagger with his hands, and then quickly took out the hook on his waist, put one end on the handle of the dagger, and quickly put down the rope, and after he put down a rope, his arms stretched, and his body leaned to a place one meter on the side to stab a dagger again, and according to the previous procedure, he put down a rope again.
As soon as the two ropes were released, the four soldiers below quickly climbed up.
By the time the last two soldiers had put the ropes away, the torches in the patrolmen's hands had reappeared in the corner, and the time was almost out.
Tang Jie and the four soldiers grabbed the rope and lay on the wall like a gecko, Tang Jie lowered his head and made a few gestures to the soldiers below, and then the soldiers nodded, leaned over respectively, took out the dagger and pierced it into the gap in the wall one meter away, one on the top of their heads, two at their feet, and after they pierced several short daggers into the gap, they stepped on the horizontal surface of the dagger, and then tied the rope to the dagger above their heads, and leaned outward, forming an acute angle of nearly ninety degrees with the wall.
At this time, the five people, including Tang Jie, had already dispersed separately to form five separate individuals, instead of the five people hanging on the two ropes just now.
After Tang Jie gestured again, the soldiers understood Tang Jie's gesture and nodded one after another.
Kukutamas, Mirdara and the other two soldiers took out their blowpipe poison darts and steel crossbows, respectively, and aimed them at the two patrols that were about to cross.
Tang Jie saw the moment when the two teams of patrolmen just crossed, he suddenly made a gesture, and then he held the dagger's wrist with a force, pulling his body up a few meters and climbing up the wall in an instant.
When Tang Jie's body just came up, it was the instant blind spot formed by the intersection of these two patrolmen, because the place where it appeared was the middle of the intersection of the two teams, and both teams were facing away from him!
As soon as Tang Jie climbed up, he heard a few swishing sounds, and the three patrolmen behind Tang Jie snorted, and his body slowly fell down with a short crossbow in his neck.
Because of the blowpipe poison dart used by Kukutamas, he and Tang Jie were in charge of the same team, and after his poison dart hit someone, it could instantly paralyze the soldier's whole body, and his fingers and tongue could not move for half a minute.
The two men in front did not even notice that the last soldier had been hit by a poison dart in the neck, and when they heard the soldier behind them fall to the ground and make a sound, they turned their heads and saw a man with a hideous face, his eyes were as dark as a far-reaching devil in the night, his palms were straight, and his fingertips were like sharp spears and daggers, and he was stuck in their throats.
Tang Jie's current attack was that even the hard rock could poke out a few holes, even if a sword fighter of his level let him insert it, he was afraid that he would have to die immediately.
"Puff" twice, Tang Jie cut the throat blood vessels of the two soldiers with both hands, and when his hands came out again, the blood rushed wildly.
Tang Jie quickly turned around and hid behind the two of them, slowly putting them down.
After Tang Jie dealt with the two men, the other four Night Soldiers also climbed the city wall.
The most difficult part of this castle is how to break through the patrols on the city wall, and now that Tang Jie has solved this difficulty, then this castle is like a naked woman stripped naked, let them take what they want.
Tang Jie and the Night Soldiers bowed their bodies, leaning their backs against the arrows of the city wall, and looked at the patrolling soldiers at the stairs with their eyes.
Tang Jie said in a low voice: "After a while, each will solve its own goals, move quickly, there are two teams of patrols missing on the city wall, and it is impossible for no one to find out all the time!"
The soldiers nodded, and once again assigned their objectives.
In front of Tang Jie and such a group of special forces trained by him, these seemingly well-guarded patrols were really as vulnerable as chickens and dogs.
The group quickly infiltrated the inner castle.
After Tang Jie and the Night Soldiers entered the castle, their defense was greatly reduced, and their pressure became more and more relaxed, the only question was: where are the Kumantanas father and son?
"You guys wait here, I'll grab someone and ask!" Tang Jie's eyes saw a woman in a milky white low-cut dress walking towards him in the corridor not far away.
