The black flag was erected under the sun, with red patterns of stars and anchors drawn on it fluttering in the wind.
This is the hallmark of the Harvey family.
Next to the flag, rows of soldiers with solemn faces were arrayed in front of the castle.
Although the armor on their bodies was not complete, the team of thousands of people was still majestic, and the swords reflecting the light of the sun made it difficult to look directly at them.
At the end of the team, Wright, wearing dark copper-colored armor, swung the long sword in his hand,
"Warriors of Black Reef Island, now I order you in the name of the eldest son of the Harvey family to kill the rebels and take back the castle!"
"kill!"
The soldiers' roars shook the sky, and following the commanders' orders, a huge crowd rushed towards the walls of Black Reef Castle!
A fight has officially begun!
…
In the woods on the hill nearby, Allen was sitting on Maokai's shoulder.
At this time, he was holding the ancient monocular telescope in his hand, observing the battle in front of the castle.
In the thick smoke and dust, soldiers carried ladders and charged continuously amidst the rain of arrows.
More than three thousand people may not sound like a lot, but they have already filled Allen's field of vision.
Soon the soldiers rushed to the city wall, set up ladders, and climbed towards the city wall amidst the loud shouts of killing.
However, the process is extremely difficult.
Sharp arrows and stones kept falling like a gust of wind, sending the soldiers who had climbed halfway down to the ground, turning them into blurs of flesh and blood.
The war has just begun, but the walls of Black Reef Castle have already turned into a meat grinder.
Bodies on the ground quickly piled up, and the city walls were dyed blood red with screams and killing cries.
"Here, there is no trebuchet cover, and we don't intend to use a battering ram to break open the city gate, so let the soldiers forcefully enter it like this?!"
Allen looked at the soldiers carrying ladders and rushing towards the city wall, and couldn't help but frown.
Without any tools, can Black Reef Castle be captured with less than 3,000 soldiers alone?
Funny, right?
Even if the attack and defense ratio is eight to one, as long as there are 400 people in the castle, they can easily defend it!
But as far as Allen knew, Cotton had more than just these people.
Judging from the current situation, Wright will definitely not be able to capture the Black Reef Fortress.
Would Wright be so ignorant? Just let these people die?
Allen kept asking questions in his mind, and the answer must be that Wright is not stupid.
After thinking for a moment, Allen murmured to himself: "Unless, these people are just on the plank road."
"What plank road?"
Kelly, who was also paying attention to the battlefield next to Allen, turned her head and asked: "Alan, what are you talking about?"
She had never heard the words Alan spoke.
Allen did not answer Kelly's question, but asked instead: "There should be some small doors, dog holes, sewers and other places in Black Reef Castle?"
"Of course there is, every castle will have one."
Kelly nodded, and then she understood and asked: "You mean, Wright might send soldiers into the castle through these places?"
Allen nodded.
If you can't take down the city wall by storm, you must think of other methods.
"This is indeed the best way...but Cotton also knows these places and will definitely pay special attention to them, right?" Kelly said.
"You are indeed right. If it were me, I would definitely send heavy troops to guard those places."
Allen looked at the fighting on the city wall and added: "And he still wants his cronies to go to those important places..."
Speaking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Allen's mind,
"But what if there is a close confidant here who betrays?!"
At this moment, Allen suddenly thought of a word,
Dark under the lamp!
…
…
I have to say that Allen’s TV novels in his previous life were not in vain, and he had already guessed most of the Wright plan.
At this time, in the dark dungeon of Black Reef Castle, all the soldiers who were originally guarding had fallen to the ground crookedly.
In the middle of them, a woman in her thirties took the key from the guard,
She is the wife of one of the guards here, and she is responsible for delivering meals to these guards.
But this woman also has another identity - Lesa's old lover.
It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Lesa and this woman was not something that Light could arrange.
In fact, as an old pervert and the leader of the Knights, Leza had super-friendly relationships with many soldiers' wives.
It's just that this time Lesa was able to take advantage of this relationship.
The woman bent down and took off a bunch of keys from the guard. After walking around in the dungeon, she came to a locked manhole cover.
She took the key and tested it on the manhole cover one by one. With a click, the lock on the iron door opened.
The woman opened the manhole cover with force, and a stench instantly hit her - this was the sewer of the castle.
The woman took a rice bowl and tapped the manhole cover rhythmically several times, and then there was a sound of rushing water below.
Soon, a sturdy man with a stubble on his face appeared in the woman's field of vision, then he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the well, and easily turned over.
"Well done, my dear!"
The person who came was none other than Lesa. He hugged the woman hard and squeezed her behind.
The woman was already used to it. She held Lesa's face and kissed her hard, "I've done what you asked me to do. You promised to marry me, so don't make a mistake!"
"Of course, we will get married after this battle is over!"
Lesa promised with a grin, then let go of the woman and signaled her to hide, and then one soldier after another emerged from the sewer.
Different from the soldiers attacking the city outside the castle, these soldiers wore uniform standard armor. Just from their appearance, they could tell that they were trained regular troops.
The corridors in the dungeon were not spacious, and they were quickly filled with soldiers. The soldiers who climbed up later had no room, and even squeezed into the empty prison next to them.
When all the soldiers were assembled, Leza shouted: "Teams 1, 2 and 3 go to the west wall, and the others follow me to the city gate!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Set off!"
Lesa gave the order and quickly rushed out of the dungeon with his soldiers, and killing cries immediately came from the Black Reef Castle!
…
…
"Your second brother is going to lose."
Allen, who was sitting on Maokai's shoulder, suddenly said.
Kelly was stunned for a moment, because from her perspective, Wright's soldiers did not attack the city smoothly, and no one had climbed onto the castle wall so far.
Allen didn't say anything more. He handed the lookout glass to Kelly and pointed her in the direction.
"Look at the sentry tower on the west wall. It's already in chaos."
Allen noticed that the chaos in the west was not because soldiers rushed up, but because the guards above were running into the castle.
This means that there are enemies inside the castle.
In this kind of offensive and defensive war, the whole army is often involved. If Cotton cannot stabilize the situation in the west in time, a gap will be opened and the whole line will be defeated.
"Wright really found a way to send people into the castle."
Kelly also saw clearly what happened on the city wall at this time, and this was exactly in line with Allen's previous speculation.
"Alan, you are so smart...how on earth did you guess it?"
After experiencing two events in the rock camp and now, Kelly couldn't help but sigh and asked.
The more dramas and novels you read, the authors and screenwriters will change one by one, and even the viewers and netizens will be obsessed with it.
Allen thought to himself.
But of course he couldn't say that,
"I just don't think Wright is that reckless, nor is he a useless commander who will only let his subordinates die, so there is a high probability that there will be some back-up plan."
Despise but do not underestimate your enemies, be confident but do not overestimate yourself. This is Allen's code.
Therefore, after arriving at the watch camp, I started to inquire about Wright, and combined with what Kelly told him before, I had a certain impression of Wright.
Now Allen also understands that the troops that Wright gathered from other camps were cannon fodder to attract attention.
"It seems that Wright will be able to enter the city soon." Allen said.
Since Wright can send people to Black Reef, the outcome is basically determined.
