Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 86 Siege and Spy

Under the power of money, Zhang Ang and the little man were arranged to bake bread.

It was very hot next to the stove, and the work was hard, but it was much better than those who went to the city wall to deliver food, and it was much better than those cannon fodder who were put on the city wall.

Although Zhang Ang is not very good at baking bread, but that little man is very proficient, and he looks very shrewd, so Zhang Ang learned to do it according to the gourd painting, trying not to make any mistakes, and was arrested to deliver meals Such a dangerous life.

From evening to midnight, Zhang Ang and the dozens of gang leaders baked so much bread that they were all so tired that they were allowed to rest.

And from early morning to night, the British offensive never started. They just kept gathering the army, constantly strengthening the camp, and preparing equipment.

The city was not idle either, the city walls were brightly lit all night, and there was a team of city defense troops standing guard every short distance.There are also countless people working endlessly, carrying soil, pushing stones, blocking the city gates, and strengthening the city defenses.

Zhang Ang was sleeping soundly leaning against the wall outside the boiler room, when suddenly, a loud noise that shook the ground woke him up.

Then another, and then another.

That was the sound of boulders thrown by catapults hitting the city wall, and the British attacked!
Zhang Ang looked around, it was still dark, and there were people running around holding torches, most of them had panic and fear on their faces.

The fat man with a greasy face who was in charge of the Huotou army also jumped out, slammed a stick on an iron pot, and shouted orders: "Okay, okay, there's already a fight at the top, don't give me one by one!" In a daze, hurry back to work, do what you need to do, and let our brave fighters have a hot breakfast!"

The huge stove ignited flames again, boards of raw dough went in, boards of hot bread came out, they were cut into pieces, put into baskets, and sent to the city wall.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".
One sound after another, the dull pounding sound came continuously, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

The gang camp was on the slanted back of the city wall, some distance away from the city gate, so it was considered a relatively safe place, but the noises still put a lot of pressure on everyone, and people often shook their hands, and things fell to the ground.

The bombardment of the catapults did not stop for a moment, one after another, and there was no shout of killing from the top of the city, only the dull bombardment shocked everyone.

At noon, the catapults in the city also began to fight back. The sound of the impact of wood, the vibration of ropes, and the whistling of stones flew into everyone's ears.

As time went on, everyone gradually got used to it. When resting, they should also squint for a while, and those who should snore also snore as usual.

After a quiet night, the tragic siege began at dawn the next day.

The sound of shouting and killing on the city wall was continuous, and all kinds of screams, roars, shouts, and cries continued one after another.

Those hellish voices kept coming into Zhang Ang's mind, which made him want to escape from everything.

***************************
James feels a little worried now.

He is an experienced English spy. He tried his best to escape the police and musketeers' investigation and arrest again and again, and began to officially carry out the mission assigned to him by the above.

Relying on his unobtrusive martial arts prowess and clever mind, after spending a lot of thought and spending a lot of money, he successfully sneaked into the Huotou barracks at the North Gate of Paris.

Although he was assigned to the oven room, which was not easy to start with, he was confident that he would find an opportunity to complete the task.

It's just that the idiot boy who was assigned to him made him a little worried. This idiot boy knew at a glance that he was ignorant of the world.

Afraid of doing wrong things, learning to do it by himself is fine, but he just likes to follow him, go to the bathroom together, and always sleep next to him when resting and sleeping. It is really that he does not leave any private space for himself, which makes him unable to fulfill his wishes Go on mission.

If it wasn't for killing him and exposing himself, I really wanted to kill this annoying fool.

After a day of fierce fighting, by night the British offensive came to a halt.On the high city wall, teams of soldiers were collecting corpses, treating the wounded, and repairing the city wall.

The people in the boiler room have also been busy all day and are extremely tired. Now they are lying in a corner and lethargic.

Finally a great opportunity!Squinting his eyes and looking around, after confirming that everyone was asleep, James gently put the head of the fool next to him off his shoulders, and ran out of the boiler room on tiptoe.

Holding his breath again, he evaded the patrolling guards, and sneaked into the pastry room next door.

The pastry room was densely packed with sacks of flour, and noodle tables, and some dough was left on the table.

It's time to rest and sleep, and there is no one in the pastry room.

James didn't even look at the flour sacks, and went straight to a row of huge water tanks next to the house, which was the largest water storage place in the entire camp.

The north of the city is not close to the Seine River, and there are no wells. The water in these tanks is picked up from afar by special personnel.

James fumbled around from his arms, took out a long bag, carefully opened a small opening, and was about to pour the colorless poison inside into the water tank.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a curious voice suddenly appeared in his ear, and the bag in his hand dropped in fright.

Turning around abruptly, I found that it was that silly boy.

"Are you poisoning?" the silly boy asked again.

There is no way, James thought, his eyes were cold, and a thin dagger slipped into his hand.

Turning back is a swipe, going straight to that fool's throat.

"when!"

At some point, a steel sword appeared in that silly boy's hand, blocking the blow.

James knew that things couldn't get any better. If he couldn't kill this silly boy in a short time this time, he would be dead.

Without any hesitation in his hand, the dagger pounced like a poisonous snake, directly attacking that silly boy.

Unexpectedly, this kid's swordsmanship was very solid, and he kept blocking his own attacks.

But fortunately, that kid is not strong. If there is enough time, he should be able to kill him. Thinking of this, the speed in James' hands accelerated again.

The dagger swung and stabbed faster, and then there was a faint fire outside the window, Zhang Ang resisted very hard.

Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted loudly: "There are spies here! He wants to poison! Come someone!"

The opponent's attack became even crazier. Zhang Ang had already been stabbed several times in a row. Fortunately, he was protected by the golden silk soft armor and did not hurt his vitals.

After a few more frenzied fights, the door of the pastry shop was kicked open, and a fat man with a shiny face broke in.
