Chapter 796 Battle at night
Chapter 796 Night battle
Sophia bent over and moved quickly on the mountain trail, like a brisk raccoon. She was wearing plate armor, but using cowhide and fabric, and these tightly lined armor did not affect her movements.
The only thing that felt uncomfortable in my heart was that she, who had loved knights since she was a child, would rather ride on horseback on the battlefield like she did when she was in the Arab Empire. Soon Sophia came to Zhao Fubo, and in the dark, the soldiers lying on the ground covered themselves with cloaks, so that she could only see pieces of rock-like things.
"The head of the house, there is a signal from Muke. Their crossbows are ready and can open fire at any time!"
"Well, Juliana is ready!"
Just as Sophia reported, the people in the castle had obviously discovered the strong light that Muk used to signal. After a real panic, torches were thrown down from the top of the city.
"Damn it! Sophia, cover us with your cloak!"
Zhao Fubo cursed, and after Sophia fell beside him and covered most of his body with her cloak, Zhao Fubo took out a signal flare. It was just a bamboo tube. With just one hand pull, a green signal flare rose into the air.
Almost in an instant, the nearby mountains, trees and rocks seemed to be awakened by the green light, and all appeared in front of people. After firing the signal flare, Zhao Fubo shrank and motionless under the black cloak.
Sophia also moved her arm gently, covered their faces tightly with a black cloak, revealing her eyes and looking at the starry sky. This is why Zhao Fubo wanted to advance at the end of the Chinese calendar. Because only then did there be no moon in the sky.
"Bo..."
Just here, a gentle sound came from the sky, like a soap bubble bursting, and then a bright light appeared in the sky. This is the new type of bomb developed by Martin - the flare. This kind of thing almost made Martin lose his mind.
The reason is very simple, because there are no necessary elements such as magnesium at this time, so it is impossible to create a flare with a burning medicine column. Therefore, it is a disposable steam lamp that is fired. The trouble of using is that it must be charged and ignited before use so that the gunpowder can ignite the lamp head in the sky. This is a replacement for the "battlefield lighting system", probably for the night attack that Zhao Fubo likes.
With the sound of the sky, the sun-like light in the sky. The torches thrown from the castle were immediately inferior to these bright white lights. No one would notice them anymore. At this time, a series of sounds came from the sky, and the beacons lit up in the sky.
Zhao Fubo estimated that no one in the castle should have paid attention to the situation outside the city at this time. He turned over and looked at the bright flares in the sky, gliding in the sky with the help of a parachute. He looked at the castle with his hand telescope, and the situation there confirmed his guess.
On the city wall, including those clear places that were dug on the wall for archery, there were shadows constantly moving. As the figures moved, more and more people on the city walls became.
"Julianna, please prepare your people and watch my signal lights. Sophia, let's go!"
Zhao Fubo let out a few whistles like night owls, and then jumped out of the place where they hid with Sophia. They were less than 100 meters away from the city wall, which was the largest distance for naked eyes to observe at night. Behind them were 10-person teams, and with the light of the "flares" that slowly fell, the shadow of the city wall extending outward, quickly approaching the city wall.
In the leaping and rapid leaping, Zhao Fubo counted in his mouth. Because they agreed in advance that the Min Feiyan Birds commanded by Muke would be fired every 60 seconds to maintain the continuous attraction of the soldiers' attention.
"Pooh,booh..."
After several consecutive sounds, a strong light lit up in the sky again. At this time, the soldiers who were still leaping in quickly were lying on the ground one by one, and then turned into piles of stones immersed in the darkness.
After two consecutive waves of flares, the tall city wall was not far from Zhao Fubo and the others. And at this time, the people on the top of the city seemed to have noticed the movements under the city, and some people began to shout loudly. These shouts obviously made the soldiers in the castle wake up from the bright light that kept rising in the sky like stars, and it seemed that they did not realize until then that they realized that they were still in war.
One by one, the archers quickly pulled out arrows from the arrow bag on their backs and put them on the bow. But in the darkness that was not far away, Juliana, who had been staring at the city wall, suddenly discovered a little dark light now, which was the signal of Zhao Fubo's cover shooting for her.
Juliana's sharp voice immediately broke the silence that had been in the darkness.
"put!"
The archer who was in the full moon state of the sniper bow released the bowstring almost at the same time. The feather arrow made an inaudible scream in the darkness and headed straight for the city wall.
Almost at the same time, Muke, who received this signal, ordered his artillery shells to shoot a wave of artillery shells into the castle. Although the soldiers defending on the city noticed the movements under the city, silent rain of arrows flew from the sniper archer.
The defenders caught off guard at the top of the city, the people who were caught in the arrow were pushed back by the momentum carried on the arrow branches in a scream. Then they either fell on the city wall or simply fell from the city wall behind. No matter which ending, they were already dead under the quadrilateral arrow tips that used bloodletting and the relatively accurate shooting of the sniper bombers.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The violent explosion sounded in the castle. The first time I caught the explosion of the shell, I immediately became panicked under this fright. In fact, such an explosion is not worthy of their panic, because the explosion that made them panic immediately wanted to ring.
Zhao Fubo and Sophia arranged a series of explosives at the crack of the city gate. They reached out to pull the fuse, and the two ran to the side of the city gate together, and shouted according to the rules when they covered their ears.
"explode……!"
