Chapter 4 The credit that should have been received
Ford did not have any suspicion about Willis at this moment. For Ford, Willis in front of him was his best partner.
Maybe when your Nord Kingdom companions rush into the city, you can consider sparing Willis's life. If it weren't for him, how could he have completed the mission so quickly.
I believe that King Ragnar will reward himself heavily after capturing this city.
"Don't worry. The people I brought here are all people I trust. They are all loyal to me. It is absolutely impossible for my plan to be leaked. The time is coming now.
Let's not talk nonsense, and take advantage of the moment to quickly open the city gate, and those foreign Nord Kingdom soldiers will pour into the city. By then our plan will be successful." Ford urged Willis to open the city gate.
According to the original plan, Willis had quietly withdrawn the group of soldiers guarding the city.
Therefore, the very few soldiers seen on the city wall are all soldiers of Willis. Willis can command these soldiers at will, and they are all soldiers directly under Willis.
"Okay, I will immediately ask my subordinates to open the city gate and welcome the Nord Kingdom." Willis said to Ford, his expression seemed to be very excited.
In Ford's opinion, this may be the excitement shown after the plan is about to succeed, so Ford did not feel any surprise or confusion about Willis's expression change.
Walls cursed Ford in his mind. He was simply a fool. Why was he so excited? Is it just because the plan was about to succeed?
Did he really surrender like this with a clear conscience? After all, he was from the Kingdom of Swadia. He wanted to surrender to the rebels at the last moment, but he showed an excited expression.
He will definitely be reviled by others in future generations. With his character, Povilis will never do such a thing. He will not betray the Kingdom of Swadia.
Everything now shows that Willis does not really want to cooperate with Ford. What he wants is to completely eliminate the rebels and people with evil intentions in the city.
All spies from the Nord Kingdom, as well as those idiots who came from outside all the time, must die.
Willis waved to the soldiers on the city wall. These soldiers were all under Willis's direct subordinates. They respected Willis's orders, so they quickly opened the city gate.
At this moment, they could clearly see the Nord soldiers slowly passing by in the distance. Under the cover of the night, these Nord soldiers began to advance towards a city gate in Zhongsu Nuo.
The leader of an army was none other than Farrington, the captain of King Ragnar's bodyguard.
According to the original plan, Hospens would wait for the leader of this group of Nord soldiers to enter the city, then slam the city gate shut to cut off reinforcements from outside.
At the same time, it was worth pointing thousands of arrows at the leader of this army. Farrington was very unlucky to be the leader of this army that night, because in this ambush battle
, he is likely to die on the battlefield.
Willis slowly took a step forward, this step was very light.
It did not attract Ford's attention, and to Ford's men, this seemed to be insignificant. The city gate had been opened, and no matter what happened, it could not stop the Nord Kingdom's army from pouring into the city.
"Soon, a group of Nord Kingdom soldiers will appear in this city. What do you think they will do next?"
Willis asked Ford unceremoniously. At this time, his tone seemed a little strange and harsh, completely unlike the previous Willis.
But Ford, who was immersed in joy, didn't care about such changes at all, even though he was a well-trained spy and saw the victory that was already within reach.
He had already forgotten everything around him, so he said without caring:
"Don't worry, they will follow my previous agreement. They will never attack the ordinary residents of the Kingdom of Swadia in this city. They will only massacre those soldiers who resist, and all those who surrender will survive.
."
After Willis heard these words, he secretly laughed in his heart. Things would never develop as Ford said.
Farrington said that the team he led had quietly approached the Daocheng Wall. Everyone adjusted their breathing to a minimum, and they did not dare to make a single sound.
For the others who have been frozen in the city, this is the most critical moment. Now as long as Farrington leads his team into the leftmost city.
Then half of Ford's plan was completed, and the remaining half was waiting for Farrington to capture the entire Suno city.
Walls gradually approached Willis, and Willis's eyes were looking outside the city gate. At the same time, he was always paying attention to Ford in front of him.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to catch Ford at the last moment and execute him on the spot. Such a spy must be killed and he must not be allowed to escape.
Willis had no idea that there was someone beside him who was paying attention to him. Walls was staring at her all the time, even though Walls pretended to be nonchalant.
Willis didn't notice anything strange at all, which allowed Walls to take out his own weapons and take the lead in hijacking Willis at the next moment.
The team led by Farrington has poured into the city, and Farrington is standing in the middle of this team, with many Nord royal guards surrounding him.
This night attack will be much easier with spies in the city opening the city gate for him.
The order Farrington received was to join forces with the rebels in Suno City to eliminate the remaining resistance forces in Suno City.
Ford could see the shadows of Nord Kingdom soldiers in the distance. Looking at the familiar shadows, Ford was very excited.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a hard thing pressing against his neck. This thing was thin, hard, and cool, with the chill of night. This was...
The image of a dagger suddenly appeared in Ford's mind. He turned his eyes and saw that the man holding the dagger was actually his most trusted partner, Willis.
Needless to say, at this moment, Ford fully understood what kind of scheme he had fallen into. All of this was deceived by Willis, and he was deceived by Willis because he was too stupid and stupid.
I should have thought about it carefully after hearing Walls's idea. It was because I was dazzled by my own success.
Ford didn't say a word. He already understood his fate. There was no need to say more. The soldiers of the Justice Group of Nord Kingdom would be slaughtered quickly after his death.
With a click, a bloodstain appeared on Ford's neck.
The sharp dagger directly cut through his skin, severing his arteries, and blood gushed out like a fountain, tracing a beautiful arc in the miserable night sky, just like the music welcoming death.
After Ford fell, Willis's men picked up their weapons and rushed towards Ford's companions. Most of Ford's companions were spies like Ford.
A small number of them were the confidants Ford obtained after bewitching them, so these people were not worthy of Svadia's mercy at all, and they were quickly chopped into pieces by Willis's men.
Willis noticed that Walls who was following him had no intention of taking action, and he did not force Walls to carry out this order. Willis did not tell anyone about this battle plan at all.
His group of soldiers were his own confidants. After seeing that he had killed the leader of the other party, they unanimously picked up weapons and killed all his subordinates.
This is the vigilance of a guard, who can clearly guide the master's thoughts without the need for any orders from the superior.
Since the leader of the opponent is to be killed, there is no need for his subordinates to exist. The subordinates naturally need a group of them to solve the problem personally.
"Everyone is waiting here. We will have a good show to watch. Those Nords who dare to invade us will be torn into pieces by us."
Velis gave the order to his soldiers. He did not ask his soldiers to move forward, but told them to stay where they were.
Farrington led his men forward, and he felt that many figures appeared on the city wall, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, as if they were pointing at something.
As he wanted to go inside, Farrington felt more and more that something was not good. Could it be that the spies arranged in the city had surrendered to the enemy? Has he betrayed himself?
Just when Farrington was doubting, he heard the sound of whooshing. The sound was continuous and continuous, and suddenly there was a rain of arrows in the sky.
No, those Swadians actually set an ambush here.
A thought just flashed through Farrington's mind. Before he could open his mouth and realize that his men were retreating quickly, he heard a bang.
The city gate closed at an incredible speed. There was no way for Farrington to retreat. He realized that he had been forced into a desperate situation. He could either lead his soldiers to fight back, or directly capture the city in one go.
.
Farrington, who had many years of combat experience, could clearly feel that if he asked his soldiers to retreat, those who were timid would be the first to flee.
It will definitely cause chaos in the army. When the time comes, these soldiers will all want to escape. When they rush to escape, they will all die under the strong bows and crossbows of the Swadians.
Rather than letting them run away and retreat, it is better to unite and fight hard. This can be regarded as sacrificing one's life for the country.
"Everyone, listen, now our retreat has been cut off, and I can tell you without hesitation that our retreat has been blocked by Swadia.
No one has a chance to retreat. Rather than being trapped here and waiting to die, we might as well follow me to capture this city and kill all those despicable guys who ambush and attack us."
Farrington raised his own ax and spoke loudly. His voice spread throughout the battlefield, and the morale of the Nord soldiers who heard his voice was greatly boosted.
The Nord soldiers saw the commander of their army leading the charge, regardless of their own safety, leading the soldiers behind him to charge into battle, so they rushed forward with him.
The Nord soldiers could not attack the soldiers standing on the city walls or other high places for the time being. Farrington had only one goal now, which was to fight directly to Hospens' camp.
Obviously, at the current speed, if no accident occurs, Farrington's troops will never be able to rush directly to the base camp of Hospens.
If they were lucky enough to rush to the base camp of Hospens, then their troops would be depleted and they would be unable to withstand the Swadian soldiers who kept pouring out of the city.
Although they are only the remaining troops, the defeat of these remaining troops will hardly cause a substantial blow to the Kingdom of Nord.
However, in this battle, Farrington is likely to die here.
Walls looked at the corpse of his companion in front of him, and secretly felt happy in his heart that his perception was indeed correct, if he was stupid enough to be with Ford.
Then the corpses on the ground must have their own. After all, there are several elite soldiers beside Willis. Even if he can kill these soldiers, there will be a steady stream of Swadia soldiers coming here.
Above the heads of the Nord soldiers in front, the Swadian soldiers holding bows and crossbows kept shooting down their crossbows, causing a shower of arrows.
Although the Nord soldiers were all equipped with powerful shields, after the initial panic, they slowly gathered into shield walls one after another.
Resisting attacks from the sky and from all directions, and moving slowly forward, it was difficult for them to hit the enemy soldiers on the city wall. In this raid, they did not bring archers at all.
As a result, their long-range firepower is extremely insufficient. If a group of Swadian soldiers rush into their formation, their strong skills can still chop those enemy soldiers into pieces.
Farrington was also huddled in his shield array. Through the gaps in his shield, he could see soldiers constantly appearing on the city wall. In his heart, he felt very hateful towards the spy who provided the intelligence.
Either this guy's information collected by himself was wrong, or he had already surrendered to the enemy and committed treason.
However, judging from the current situation, our side clearly has the advantage, so this spy will definitely not surrender to the enemy and treason, so there is only one choice in the end.
Which spy is a stupid spy, the intelligence and suggestions he brought, and the plan he implemented was a wrong plan, he himself was tricked by others.
It was too late to say anything now, Farrington had already rushed forward with the determination to die.
As a commander under Hosborne, Willis was also the highest commander after Hosborne, and at this moment, in order to prevent Ford from doubting it.
Most of the soldiers he leads are soldiers close to him, and these soldiers are his personal guards.
Therefore, these soldiers all obeyed Willis's instructions. Under this situation, Willis directed his soldiers to launch a surprise attack on a group of surrounded Nord soldiers.
Needless to say, when Willis saw this shield array, he could see that this shield array had begun to show signs of slackening after countless arrow charges.
Those Nord soldiers became afraid after all. They were afraid of the enemy's numbers and afraid that they would die without a burial place. They fell into such an ambush.
There is no way out, no, or rather their commander has cut off their way out.
Farrington actually asked their soldiers to continue to move forward bravely. In fact, as long as they opened the city gate, these soldiers still had a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, some of them wanted to disobey their commander's orders and wanted to rush to the city gate and open it.
Willis had anticipated all this, and he slowly and slowly moved his soldiers forward. He was the one who moved his soldiers forward.
The Nord soldiers could clearly see the enemy soldiers slowly approaching them through the gaps between their shields. The moonlight was very bright, and they could even see the proud expressions on the faces of the Swadian soldiers in the distance.
The more proud they are of the Nord soldiers, the more frightened they naturally become.
His commander was urging him to keep moving forward to fight against the Swadian soldiers, although those archers would definitely restrain themselves when they were in close combat with the enemy.
No one can guarantee whether these archers will hit their own people, so they will aim the main attack direction of their bows and arrows at the back, that is, the Nord soldiers who are not in close contact with their own people.
This would also cause the Nord soldiers in the rear to flee backwards regardless of their commander's orders. Willis could see from a distance in the rear that the Nord soldiers at the rear were the most shaken.
Farrington just stared ahead. He didn't look behind him at all. At this time, with the belief that he would die, he only had one goal: to move forward, to rush directly into the enemy's base camp and defeat the enemy.
Fang's leader was captured and brought to justice.
Walls stood next to Willis, and he was naturally able to observe the situation on the battlefield. Vaguely, Walls could already observe Willis's current thoughts.
What Willis wants most now is to disrupt the morale of these well-trained Nord soldiers and make them flee without fighting.
Although my Swadian soldiers have developed strict discipline after a period of training, there is still a clear gap between them and these veterans who have actually been on the battlefield.
And it was obvious that the opponents faced by these Swadian soldiers were naturally an elite division.
They were all veterans who had been on the battlefield and had seen death. Otherwise, how could they maintain their formation and quickly assemble a shield array after being ambushed.
Willis knows how to use his own strengths to attack other people's weaknesses. For him, although he is very young and does not have much practical experience, he still knows such a method.
Now Willis just needs to wait, waiting for the enemy's troops to become unstable before letting his soldiers launch an attack.
There was a triumphant smile on Willis's lips.
But the next second, he felt a chill on his neck.
Needless to say, he knew what it was, it was a dagger. When he turned his head behind him, he saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was that he had seen this person before.
The strange thing is that the expression on his face now no longer seems like the same person as before.
"Why did you do this, tell me." Willis said to Walls behind him, who held a dagger on his neck.
"You have such a smart mind, why can't you figure out the answer to this question? I think you have already guessed who I am in your heart."
Walls said to Willis without hesitation, and his dagger got closer to Willis's neck. The soldiers next to Willis saw this sudden scene, and their faces showed surprise.
expression.
"You and Ford are in the same group. Ah, I should have thought of it a long time ago. I shouldn't trust anyone who is close to Ford so easily. I thought you were just a person who accidentally went astray.
Just the lamb.
But I didn't expect that you are the same as Ford, a spy." Willis said with sudden realization.
Walls smiled in response to Willis's words, and his smart mind had already guessed what happened.
"How did you realize that Ford was a spy? I'm very curious. I think Ford's disguise was perfect."
Walls asked Willis. At this moment, he still wanted to know how Willis and the others knew about this spy.
"Actually, I mostly relied on my guesses. My intuition told me that this person was a spy, and when he approached me and told me his plan, I knew that he was really a spy.
,"
Walls was not very satisfied with Willis's answer. He could infer that someone else was a spy just by relying on his intuition. It was going to be released soon and it was really unconvincing.
However, the situation is urgent now, and Walls is not willing to be more of a consultant. The current goal is of course to rescue Farrington, who is already trapped in a tight siege, or to directly hold Willis hostage to force him to express his release.
And capture the city. All credit will go to Walls. And Ford, who should have received the credit, is now dead.
