rise of empire total war

Chapter 275
At night, everything is silent, the hazy moon is covered by layers of dark clouds, and the outside of the siege camp is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

And the inside of the camp is also pitch black—no, it cannot be described as pitch black, because there are still burning fires everywhere in the camp, and the light from the flames ignited by the fire illuminates everything nearby.Under the light of the fire, the silhouettes of groups of patrolling soldiers were projected onto the surrounding tents, pulling out long black shadows. In the entire camp, except for the snoring of the soldiers when they were sleeping, there was only When the patrol team walked, there was the sound of metal friction and footsteps when the armor on their bodies touched the shield.

On the wall of the city of Tus, Richard looked at the enemy camp with only a few lights in the distance. Behind him stood dozens of cavalry sergeants in light armor. Holding a pair of short bows, a quiver containing special screaming arrows and a sharp iron sword are placed on each side of the horse's belly.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just wait for your order to open the city gate and let them leave the city."

Listening to the report of Lieutenant General Magnus, Richard nodded. He turned around and glanced at every cavalry sergeant. The good state was displayed in front of Richard.After scanning everyone, Richard withdrew his gaze and said, "Act, be careful, I want you to come back alive."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone responded in unison, and then, led by an officer, they walked down the city wall and rode their horses behind the city gate.

They are the night attack team. These cavalry sergeants are finally selected after several layers of screening. Everyone is skilled in riding and good at using bows and arrows. More importantly, they do not have the night blindness that people in this era generally have. There is no physiological obstacle to night action.

When everyone mounted their horses and made sure that there was nothing missing, under the signal of the leading officer, the heavy city gate was slowly opened, and everything outside was displayed in front of them.Although the corpses outside have been cleaned up, there is still a faint smell of blood in the air. He rode out of the city gate, and a person who accidentally stepped on the remains of the corpse and the broken arrow that had not been cleaned up arrow.

In order to prevent unnecessary noises when the horses are walking, the hoofs of all horses are wrapped with thick cloth, even if they are galloping, they will not make too much noise, and the mouths of the horses are also tightly wrapped with long cloth. Strictly, only two small holes were poked at the nostrils for the horse to breathe.Not only the war horses have received attention, but the soldiers have also replaced their armor with leather armor that does not make a sound, and the redundant decorations have also been removed, but on their bodies, there are still a few weapons full of gunpowder. Explosive Pack - The purpose of this explosive pack is to ignite it and throw it into the camp after the camp howl breaks out, causing even greater chaos.

In a blink of an eye, they came to the outskirts of the camp, and because they were afraid of being hit by the bright light from the torches held by the patrol, they stopped about ten meters away from the outskirts of the camp. He took the short bow from behind, and pulled out an arrow with a special device at the end from his quiver, drew the bow and drew the arrow, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, and aimed at the sleeping enemy camp far away.

"put!"

The officer shouted in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of arrows came out of the string and flew towards the sleeping coalition camp at high speed. While the arrows were flying, the special device installed on their tails made a shrill scream. , its whistle was shrill and sharp, like the roar of a demon. Even the dozens of mounted sergeants who shot such arrows felt goosebumps growing behind them after hearing it, and they felt a bit horrified in their hearts, not to mention those who were still there. The coalition soldiers were sleeping.

The screeching sound came out from the dark night, which not only attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers, but also woke up the sleeping soldiers. They suddenly woke up from their sleep, listening to the sound like the roar of a devil, the pressure accumulated on weekdays and because of The tense emotions of war exploded in an instant, and wrong messages were quickly sent out in their brains. Immediately afterwards, these soldiers screamed loudly with red eyes, and roared like wild beasts, and they rushed out of the camp , picked up the weapon placed outside the camp, and slashed at everything around. This kind of situation only happened in a small area at first, but soon spread to other areas, and it became more and more intense!
The patrol who witnessed all this quickly reacted. As one of the few sober people in the camp, they rushed over to stop the crazy soldiers, but as soon as they rushed in front of them, they were attacked by the crazy soldiers. The soldier in front was suddenly attacked and died on the spot. Upon seeing this, the patrol members who came later also drew their weapons and attacked the crazy soldiers, making the scene even more chaotic.

"Roar!!!!!"

In the chaotic camp, a soldier with bloodshot eyes roared and kicked the fire cabinet in front of him. The fire cabinet fell down in response, and all the burning fuel inside spilled out. Sparks flew to those flammable places. On the camp tent, the cloth tent was instantly ignited, and the fire ignited, turning everything around red. The appearance of the fire undoubtedly stimulated the already crazy soldiers even more. Anything that was seen, the soldiers who were not mad were forced to take up arms to fight in order to protect themselves, and the sound of weapons slashing and people cursing, growling, screaming and screaming resounded throughout the camp.

Seeing all this happening, the instigators outside the camp took out the explosives on their bodies under the order of the officer, and then rode their horses to approach the camp. Then, when no one noticed them, they lit the matchlocks on the explosives and threw them with all their might. After entering the camp, a few seconds later, there was a deafening explosion. Whether they were crazy or sober, the surrounding soldiers were all killed, and the nearby people were also shaken by the shock wave generated by the explosion. Internal injuries, dizziness, and fainted instantly. Even if he didn't faint, he still stood there blankly, looking at everything around him at a loss, even if other people's butcher knives fell on him, he didn't have any reaction.

"Mission accomplished, retreat!" After throwing the explosives, following the order of the officer, the cavalry sergeants rode back to the city of Tus one after another, leaving only the besieged camp still in chaos.

There was such a big chaos in the camp, and the commanders of various countries woke up one after another. They rushed out of their tents regardless of their appearance, and shouted orders to the soldiers around them. Otherwise, even if they show up, they will not be able to quell the chaos, but they may be implicated and become a corpse on the ground.

After a few 10 minutes, the troops were finally assembled. These heavily armed soldiers rushed into the chaotic camp area in formation, and got into a battle with those crazy soldiers. Soldiers, the battle lasted less than half an hour, and all the crazy soldiers were either captured or killed on the spot.

Of course, the camps where the camp roar occurred were basically destroyed, and the coalition forces suffered heavy losses.
