Chapter two hundred and twentieth sinister style
At night, the violent north circled in the low altitude, rolling up a piece of gravel-like ice and snow particles, and rushed up the city walls along the wind. Several soldiers who were watching were blown so hard that they could not open their eyes, so they hid behind the battlements for a while.
The Saxon Legion outside the city was like a sharp sword hanging over the city of Lebour. Allen had tripled the number of people patrolling at night, guarding against the enemy's attack at any time.
But on such a night, it is very difficult to even rush to travel. The guards are naturally a little relaxed. Many people are huddled inside the battlements and are too lazy to go out to patrol the situation.
A small captain of the city moat was close to the wall of the city wall, looking bored at the night sky, wind and snow swept over his head, like iron sand sprayed from a large-caliber shotgun.
The city walls formed a good angle to help him block the wind and snow.
"Oh, when will this day be like this?" said the squad leader sighing. He is already forty-six years old this year. He has been in the army for many years and has only obtained the position of squad leader. The gold coins he earns every month have to support a family, including his parents, his wife, four sons and two daughters.
The eldest daughter is already at the age of getting married, but because of her unbearable appearance, no one comes to propose marriage. Marriage is a luxury and almost drains their savings for most of their lives.
"The charcoal has increased by three more copper coins this year. Alas, the situation is getting worse every year. I thought the new lord could bring us some good life, but he only brought war."
The team leader was Old Peter, the original defender of Lebir City. He had seen the foolishness of the previous lord and survived the chaos of the period without the lord. When he arrived at the new lord, he encountered a terrible war.
No matter how bad the previous two situations are, they only make life more difficult, but war will kill people.
Death is a painful thing, no one wants to die easily, but when you are in war, death becomes commonplace.
For example, Old Peter took a last look at the night sky and prepared to hang out in his cotton robe and take a nap, but this glance shocked him and almost jumped up on the spot.
Just now, he clearly saw that in the wind and snow, there was an unusual flash mixed with it. This flash was sharp triangle, like the head of a poisonous snake.
"Damn it, that's an arrow!"
This thought suddenly flashed through Old Peter's mind.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" At the same time, a shrill alarm sounded, awakening the night that seemed to be frozen by the cold.
Teams of sanctuary soldiers rushed out of the battlements with torches, checking the situation around, looking for the so-called enemies.
What greeted them was the rain of arrows mixed in snowflakes and falling like raindrops.
"Ah!" The soldiers could not dodge and were shot by arrows. Screams came out with blood. Then they tilted their bodies and fell down from the city wall.
The arrows were very dense, and the movement trajectory became chaotic under the blowing of the strong wind. The wind blew from outside the city wall, enhancing the power of the arrows. A soldier wearing heavy armor was directly pierced by the arrows, and blood foam immediately gushed out of his mouth, and he seemed to be unable to survive.
After losing some manpower, the soldiers of the city defense hurriedly hid in the battlements and avoided the arrows shot from outside the city.
The arrow rain lasted for a short time and there was no subsequent attack. A bold city-defender lay on the wall and looked out, but could only see a hazy darkness.
This attack was like a sharp scream, not like a wolf howl, but like a falcon's scream, short and rapid.
A wave of unexpected attacks made the entire city of Lebour not sleep well. Eugen was woken up in the middle of the night. After learning the news, he rushed to the city wall, but he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.
"What's going on? Where is the enemy?" Eugen grabbed a soldier beside him and asked. The soldier was frightened by the attack just now. Hearing him, he replied tremblingly: "No... I don't know, the other party seems to have just attacked like this, without any subsequent attacks."
Hearing the answer, Eugen let go of the soldier, walked to the wall, frowned and looked into the distance. There was almost darkness in front of him, and only some sporadic flames could be seen in the camp of the Saxony Legion.
"It seems that something is wrong..."
There was no follow-up attack, and the soldiers who had just arrived on the city wall retreated one after another. Eugen thought about it but couldn't come up with a result, so he followed him back to his residence and then rested.
After such a struggle, it took an hour to calm down, and all the garrisons in the entire city of Lebour did not sleep well. The enemy's attack was too sudden and it was really unexpected.
Three hours later, in the early morning, the night was as dark as thick ink, and the garrison in Leber City was quiet again, wanting to have a good rest.
As a result, another wave of arrow rain suddenly fell from the air, causing another chaos.
This time, the soldiers of the city moat were prepared, but there were no casualties, but they still made everyone nervous and were woken up again as soon as they entered sleep.
This night, such sudden attacks appeared three times in total, each time causing chaos in the moat.
There were 500 archers in the Saxony Legion, and these archers attacked in three waves, harassing the guards of Lebre City.
Moreover, these archers were abnormal and took off the white armor of Saxon soldiers and wore black gauze. Then they walked to the foot of the city wall with night covers and were not discovered.
Early the next morning, Eugen and others gathered together to discuss the situation of the war. In that night, they lost more than a dozen infantry soldiers and more than 30 others were injured.
The casualties were not too great, but the enemy's harassment made all the soldiers not sleep well. The next day, the soldiers looked very tired and had a discount on their combat power.
Eugen was also disturbed once, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and Alan did not sleep well all night.
"The enemy's attack at night is too annoying, but our people still can't see them. They can't tell them in advance, and they can't fight back." Allen complained helplessly. He had never fought such a frustrating battle.
Eugen nodded, rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "Yes, they are very cunning. They attacked us from several different places in different periods. But the city walls are crooked and there are some architectural covers. They come and go as they want to come. It's really difficult to deal with it."
As they said that, the two of them sighed together, feeling a little helpless about this situation.
Parma also stood aside, frowning as if thinking about something.
"What are you thinking? Parma?" Eugen looked up and saw Parma's expression, and asked directly, wanting to see if he would have any good insights.
