Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 218 Night Attack
Of course it is impossible to sit and wait. Although today's attack did not blast the city gate, if this continues, sooner or later the city wall will not be able to withstand it. In this case, Duke Celetto must find a way.

At present, this kind of siege equipment is simply a super high-range trebuchet. After a day of observation, it basically confirmed the idea of ​​the Duke of Celetto. So what should they do when facing the trebuchet? ?Of course it is trying to destroy it.At present, the opponent's number of such weapons is not very large. During the day, I took a look at a total of four. If there are others, I must have used them all, which means that the opponent has so many in total.Since there are only a few of them, that is to say, if they are destroyed, the opponent will have no long-range attack means.

So the Duke of Celetto organized a night attack, yes, he went out to attack the opponent's camp in the dark, the purpose of course was to destroy these weapons.Of course, the Duke of Celetto also knew that the other party would be prepared. After all, it was an important siege tool, so it naturally needed protection. However, the Duke of Celetto organized not an ordinary night attack team, but a death squad.

Yes, the purpose of these troops going out is to destroy other people's weapons, not to win the battle. As long as they can destroy these troublesome things, they will be able to defend the city and delay time.The best result is of course that their troops can destroy all the enemy's weapons and return safely. Of course, the worst result, according to Duke Celetto's thinking, is to destroy two or three units during the chaos and reduce the enemy's firepower. If it's smaller, even if all of your troops can't come back, it's an acceptable result.

As for the members of the Death Squad, half of them are his own troops, and the other half are actually members of the Royal Guard who were captured before.Yes, when the inner city was captured, it was actually because the internal personnel opened the gate of the inner city, so not all the royal guards were killed, and most of them were captured later.And some of these royal guards were killed because they would rather die than surrender, and the rest were captured.Among these captives, the Duke of Celetto deliberately selected those soldiers who still had family members in the main city and let them go out. As long as you join this death squad, your family members will be safe no matter whether you live or die. In this case , many soldiers could only cooperate, so it took a day's time to complete the establishment of the Death Squad.

The main purpose of this army is not to fight and kill the enemy. The main purpose is to destroy weapons. However, the Duke of Celetto really took it for granted. It's a trebuchet.The thing that the Duke of Celetto equipped for the surprise troops is really something to deal with the trebuchet, that is, kerosene.

The trebuchet must be made of wood, so it will be finished by burning it directly with kerosene, and it will be destroyed soon. However, the cannons used by Ye Junwen are all made of steel, so it is impossible to burn them with fire.Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Duke of Celetto. After all, no one in the other world has seen such a thing. The distance is so far, and it is true that the city can't see what hit them.

Another difference from dealing with trebuchets is that the attack distance of the artillery is too far, which makes it take a long time for the surprise troops to reach the target after leaving the city.This is also different from dealing with trebuchets, so such surprise attacks are easier to detect and take longer to deal with.The Duke of Celetto can probably think of this, but the question is what else can they do, they can't just be beaten and wait for the city wall to be broken, so try first.

So in the middle of the night, a troop quietly left the city through the rear gate, and then moved towards the opponent's long-range attack target observed during the day.I have to say that the Duke of Celetto was lucky. It happened to be cloudy tonight. There were a lot of clouds in the sky, which directly covered the moon. The surrounding area was also dark and you couldn’t see your fingers. Fortunately, the soldiers were basically locals. , I am still very familiar with the terrain here, so I won't get lost.

Very smoothly, this surprise attack force advanced a few miles, but it became more troublesome after that.Of course Ye Junwen chose the artillery attack location on the hillside, so they are about to go uphill now. Climbing the mountain at night is of course very dangerous, but they can't care so much anymore. It feels like it's a miracle that they haven't been discovered yet. , The outcome depends on this wave.

The soldiers also lowered their voices as much as possible, and then moved forward quickly. Seeing that the position of the mountain was getting closer, everyone seemed a little excited.They didn't expect this plan to be so smooth. As long as they go up, they just throw the fire bottle to burn the catapult, and then prepare to retreat. They should be able to go back alive.

Just when they were thinking this way, suddenly there were several sounds of "boom boom boom" in front of them. Yes, this is a very familiar sound, because they have been listening to it for a whole day during the day. But now that he was closer, the sound he heard was even more shocking.

The enemy attacked?Found them?But if it's so close, the enemy's weapons can also hit it?Just when the surprise attack force was stunned, they suddenly saw several rays of light flashing in the sky, and then several white glowing dots suddenly appeared.These luminous points look like several small suns at night, illuminating the surrounding area.

"What?" Everyone was stunned. What's going on? Why did the sky suddenly light up? What happened?Before they could figure out what was going on, a voice suddenly came from the mountain: "Fire!"

The sound of "da da da da" sounded, which was a sound they had never heard before, and then under their horrified eyes, the soldiers in front suddenly spurted blood and fell to the ground, some of them were even interrupted directly limbs, fell to the ground and screamed.In short, the surroundings seemed to suddenly become hell in an instant.

Obviously, these soldiers have never experienced such a battle. Even if they lost the previous battle, they at least have someone to fight.But now they couldn't see who was fighting them, so the people on their side fell down for no reason, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Run...run!" Soon the soldiers also realized that this was not a battle at all, it was just a one-sided massacre. They didn't even know what was going on. They were about to be killed. Can this be fought?Running quickly is the only way, but the problem is that now that they have climbed halfway up the mountain, they have only one choice, to roll down directly, or wait here to die, then... there seems to be no way out.

"Drop your weapon and kneel down to avoid death!"

"Put down your weapons and kneel down to avoid death!" At this moment, the shouts around them saved their lives. Now that the soldiers had no will to fight at all, they were all terrified. Hearing this The voice also quickly put down their weapons and all lay on the ground.

The battle ended very quickly, within ten minutes, a sizable surprise attack team was dealt with by Ye Junwen and the others.On the hillside, Ye Junwen also looked at the situation below, and the result was not beyond his expectation.

"This Datang product is really useful." Hejiaer beside him couldn't help sighing.Yes, tonight's battle was all about crushing equipment. First of all, from the perspective of scouting, the opponent thought that the dark and windy night would definitely not be discovered, but in fact they were spotted by Ye Junwen's scouting team just after they left the city. Why, because Ye Junwen also has military binoculars with night vision function, even if the light is poor, the scouts can see clearly with just a little light, so the opponent's troops have always been exposed to Ye Junwen and the others in the investigative field of view.

Of course, Ye Junwen wouldn't let this team go back. He pretended to be ignorant and waited for the opponent to come by himself. When he entered the range of the ambush, he directly fired flares with artillery, and then the machine guns and rifles went up to sweep, and the battle ended.This is completely crushing in terms of technology. Modern weapons are so brainless in fighting these cold weapon era battles. The opponent doesn't even know how to lose.

"The moment I arrived, the war has entered a new era. It's a pity that the people on the other side haven't realized it yet." Ye Junwen said, "Check the battlefield, and then everyone have a good rest."

Ye Junwen went back to sleep directly after speaking, it was indeed too relaxing, there was no pressure at all.As for the Duke of Celetto, he was destined to be unable to sleep tonight. He had been waiting for the result after the troops left, but what he didn't expect was that the result came much sooner than he expected.

There was indeed a battle on the other side's position. They also heard sounds from a distance, and even saw something like a white light over there, but they didn't know exactly what happened.However, when several members of the Death Squad fled back, they were also shocked.

"What? The troops were completely wiped out?" Duke Celetto was stunned. How long did it take for the battle to end?Counting the marching time of these soldiers back and forth, there is almost no actual fighting time. What's going on? The death squad I sent out has 7000 people. Even if it is 7000 pigs, they have to fight until morning. what is going on?

"I don't know...the enemy...the enemy is a devil! I don't know what happened..." The soldiers here were frightened, and he really didn't know how he lost. He was lucky when he was in a mess After running out, there was no information to tell.

"Take him out and chop him down!" Duke Seletto roared angrily, but soon his face darkened again, "Who told me, what should I do now?"
