Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 161: A Great Victory (2)
Nolandenburg was built on the top of the highest solitary ridge in the area. The north side of the castle is covered with cliffs that are difficult for even a rabbit to climb up, let alone people.
Although there are cliffs on the west and east sides of Nolandenburg, because the lower house is a winding road up the mountain, relatively speaking, it can still be climbed up by people with flexible bodies and climbing skills.
The east side of the castle is full of lush shrubs and cypress trees. It is very difficult to climb. Only the west side, with sparse shrubs and grasses, can provide cover. At the same time, the slope is not large and the distance is short, making it the best place to climb.
.
After two days of attack by Arsedan and the others, they had a clear understanding of the surroundings of Nolandenburg. The direction of their sneak attack was on the west side, although he knew that the defenders in the castle would focus on the west side.
, but we won’t spend a lot of effort on defense, because it’s impossible for a large group of people to attack from here.
If there are just three or two small miscellaneous fish climbing up, there is no need to worry. Can they make any big noise? They are just barging in and harassing us.
It is precisely because of this realistic consideration that Asedan decided to take a risk and chose the west side for the sneak attack. He picked a group of pirates and attacked from here. However, the current attack has changed from the main attack to the assist.
.
Although it was an assist, and the pirates had gone from a team of 30 people to ten people now, Asedan still gave them a good warning and told them: "Your mission is to make a big noise here. You must
We need to attract most of the defenders on the front, so that we can create an opportunity for us to attack the city gate."
"I understand, dad, don't worry!" the pirate leader of this ten-man team promised with a smile and patted his chest.
Asedan punched him lightly on the shoulder and said to him with a smile: "When this battle is over, I will give you a great credit, okay?"
"Okay! Thanks dad!" the ten pirates replied in unison.
Then Asedan said to the pirate leader: "I heard that you are not married yet, right? This time you come out to get more loot so that you can go back and get a wife."
The pirate leader touched his head in embarrassment and replied to Asedan: "Yes, Dad, that's what I planned. However, I haven't found a suitable marriage partner yet."
"Hahaha!" Asedan patted him twice on the shoulder and said to him very eagerly: "After this battle is over, you come to me and I will introduce you to a beautiful and strong shield maiden.
I will also attend your wedding."
The leader was extremely excited when he heard Asedan's assurance to him. There was a very famous warrior from Toba Island and a Lord Wolf Lord as matchmaker. This was something he had never dared to think about before.
I saw him looking at Arsedan excitedly and saying: "Dad, thank you, don't worry, I will definitely fight for the opportunity for the brothers on the front. I will enter Nolandenburg tonight and kill all the Brick bastards inside."
Wild dog!”
After he finished speaking, his brothers also said in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
However, since it was a sneak attack, their voices were not very loud. Seeing the high morale of their team, which was bound to suffer huge casualties, Asedan ordered them to set off to fight with a smile on his face.
Aserdan, with nearly 400 men, quietly ambush at the foot of Fengyunding Mountain, preparing to launch an attack. This life-and-death gamble that will determine the fate of both parties has begun.
After the bell on the top of the city rang, Gamlin, who was a little sleepy, immediately woke up. He quietly looked down the city and saw five drag pirates quietly climbing up in the night. The fastest one had already climbed up.
Start climbing the city wall.
This set of bell warning devices was made by Balian before the war so that the soldiers and caravans of Fort Nolanden could be placed on the outside when they were camping in the wild. These thin wires with bells were hung on
Outside, if the enemy who wants to sneak attack at night is not very careful, they will not be seen at all.
However, as long as they step on the iron wire, the bell will jingle, and the sentries in charge of guarding will know that there is an enemy night attack, and everyone can prepare in advance.
This warning device can also be used when defending the city. After Hama made a simple modification, as long as the enemy climbs the city wall and touches the iron wire, the bell can also ring. However, the sound is not that loud.
Already.
This is also very good. Enemies who want to climb the city wall for a sneak attack do not know that they have touched the warning device and continue their sneak attack plan. After the defenders on the city discover the enemy who wants to sneak attack, they can ambush and attack them.
Their fatal blow can achieve even greater results when taken by surprise.
At the beginning of the night, the pirates' spies had already played a role in inquiring about the news, and successfully passed on the news that the city gate was seriously damaged, causing Asedan to temporarily change the battle plan and put all his troops under pressure.
above.
At this time, the five pirates who had already started to climb the city wall had no idea that they had been discovered by the defenders. Their children continued to climb the city wall hard, using simple tools to hold on to the city bricks without ropes.
Climb the city wall.
Not only are the Toba pirates in good physical condition, but there are many mountains and cliffs on Toba Island. Most of them have been climbing the cliffs since elementary school to obtain rare plants, herbs, etc., in order to exchange for some money to supplement their family income, because
Climbing the city wall was easy for them, and they were not slow at climbing.
Moreover, these people who often eat fish, especially those who hunt whales all year round, consume a lot of cod liver oil. Their night vision is very good and is not affected by dim light at night. (Here, thank you book friend for your correction.
Medieval Vikings had very good night vision.)
Under the west side of the city wall, there were five pirates who served as cover. After the five pirates climbed up, they fired rockets at the top of the city and cheered, creating the impression that a large group of pirates were about to attack from the west.
The illusion of an attack on the side wall was used to attract the defenders on the front wall.
However, their calculations were very good, but their actions were already predicted by the defenders at the top of the city. At this time, Gamlin and his subordinates were waiting for them to rush in with a sneer on their faces.
When the five pirates climbed under the crenellations of the city wall, they raised their heads and took a sneak peek above. They found that there were indeed not many defenders on the west wall, so they looked at each other, made a gesture, and began to climb the city.
Because it was inconvenient to climb the city wall, each of them only brought a small shield and a battle ax. Only five of them would be effective if they were gathered together, so they chose the same place to climb the city.
