Chapter 40: Sp Castle at Night

"It smells so good." Eugene couldn't help but sigh as he smelled the smell of roasted meat coming from inside the castle.

"Bear with me, I still have food here, pad my stomach." When old Ivan on the side heard this, he handed over a black and black bread.

Eugene, who was clinging to the castle wall, looked at the bread in his hand by the moonlight, sniffed the aroma of barbecue in the castle, pinched the bread, returned it to old Ivan, and said heroically.

"I'm not hungry."

It's a pity that if Eugene's stomach didn't scream twice when he said this, his image would definitely be even taller.

Old Ivan chuckled, broke the bread little by little, put small pieces into his mouth, and whispered.

"It's good to be young, unlike my old man, who is old and can't stand hunger."

Eugene rolled his eyes and didn't speak again, listening carefully to the movement in the castle.

Leaning against the wall like the two of them, there were seven or eight guards who had originally belonged to the Hart family.

After receiving Claire's order to capture Spu's castle, Eugene and old Ivan set out on the offensive road with their original guards and two hundred militiamen.

It's just that the two of them have a hard time with how to capture Spu Castle.

Although Spur Castle is the same as Tilling Town, the main force is exhausted, the family is empty, and even because of years of decay, the strength is even weaker.

But no matter how weak they are, the guards are still there.

Unlike Tilling, Spark Castle is a castle that is much more defensible than the town. If nothing else, the walls that were almost three meters high and the heavy gates were enough to withstand most invaders. Not to mention, Sp Castle also has a professional seat in the city.

As for the lack of soldiers, if you really want to find out that the situation is not right, people can mobilize hundreds of militia out of the temporary mobilization, everyone is a barony, and the population under the rule is much worse than whom, one person issued a spear and stood on the city wall and stabbed down, which was enough for the two hundred militiamen brought out by Eugene to be thrown outside the castle wall.

If you can't attack by force, then you can only outwit.

It's a pity that the military talents of Eugene and Old Ivan are also at the level of Wolong and Phoenix, and after discussing for a long time, there is no idea available.

If you can't attack and outwit, you can only use the most common stupid method of this era, elite assault.

This is also the only method of warfare that most nobles will use.

That is to organize elite troops, mainly professionals, to forcibly assault, and to carry out a series of purposes such as decapitation, seizure of doors, crushing enemy troops, raiding the rear, and so on.

While it doesn't sound like a big deal, it's often very useful.

There is no way, who makes it a huge gap between ordinary people and professionals. Only well-trained elite soldiers can compete with low-level professionals when they join forces. As for the middle and advanced professionals, they often need to be able to compete with the legion, and the gap in quality has reached a point where a huge number needs to be filled.

It's a pity that Eugene has no professional in his hands other than him.

The good news is that in the Spu Castle, there is only one first-order professional, and he is still a new professional, and his strength is likely to be inferior to him.

Therefore, Eugene boldly let the army wait from afar, and he took seven or eight trustworthy guards to the gate of the castle, ready to get a thief to capture the king first, as long as he killed the first-order professional, the rest of the things will be done.

Eugene originally wanted old Ivan to lead the army, but old Ivan refused, and wanted to go with Eugene.

Eugene doesn't understand what old Ivan is tossing around with the old bones, the three-meter-high city wall, old Ivan can also climb it? After entering, how many soldiers did you beat?

Although Old Ivan also followed the Wright family on the battlefield and cut people when he was young, that was many years ago.

But old Ivan's words made Eugene shut up.

"Do you think the new lord is trying to test our abilities? Naive, what he wants is an attitude. ”

I have to say that old Ivan is worthy of being a housekeeper for decades, and he has a clear understanding of the nobles' fancy intestines, and he immediately grasped the key point.

Of course, Claire doesn't care if old Ivan and Eugene can successfully take Spp Castle, after all, it is not difficult to take Spu Castle, but it is just a matter of convenience. Now that the town of Tilling is still poor and white enough to worry about large-scale wars, the importance of Spree Castle is there, but not great.

What he cares about is the name of these old Hart family members, as long as he shows the intention of breaking with the Hart family and being loyal to him, everything else is a minor issue.

Old Ivan Biyugin understood, so he went with this old bone. Not only for his own consideration, but also for his son, who works under Claire.

The night gradually deepened, and the smell of barbecue in the castle had already been blown away by the wind, and I don't know how long it had passed, and there was no movement in the castle.

Eugene, who had been squinting slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining.

"Go and wait for me at the gate, and I'll open the door."

Although the three-meter-high wall is not too difficult to climb with these people with his help, it is too troublesome to think about it when you have to pick it up. It's better to just open the door and rush in.

After saying that, Eugene exerted his strength, jumped up, and jumped onto the city wall.

The others didn't say much, and rushed directly to the castle gate.

Eugene was cautious all the way, and did not dare to make a sound when he hurried, for fear of disturbing the castle's guards.

Once the castle is defended and the sneak attack turns into a surprise attack, the result may not be quite the same.

All the way here, it went more smoothly than expected, and at the gate of the castle, Eugene found out in disbelief that there were no guards here. This guard is too lax.

However, thinking that Tilling Town was easily taken down not long ago, Eugene put away his ridicule. It's been a long time since I've experienced a war, everyone's level is half a pound and eight taels, and no one should think about laughing at anyone.

The castle gate was easily opened, and the crowd that had been waiting outside the gate rushed in.

The sound of opening the heavy door also alarmed several guards patrolling the castle, even if the guard was lax, there were still patrolling guards, not for fear of being attacked, but for fear of being stolen by thieves.

Several castle guards heard the noise and didn't realize that there was an invasion, but they still came to check on the situation.

"Kill!"

Eugene gave the order and led the charge towards several castle guards, and the others followed behind him with weapons.

The castle guards did not expect that it was not a thief, but an intruder, and the last one was about to open his mouth to shout, but the voice only came out a little, and a sword had already pierced deep into his chest.

Eugene drew his sword and turned to the other guards.

In an instant, all four of the castle guards who had come to inspect the castle fell to the ground and died, and the castle was quiet again.

"The weapons are not unsheathed, which is too lax." Eugene whispered, his eyes scanning the layout of the castle, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations of the first-order professional.
