Rise of the Empire Total War

"The operation will start in the early hours of tomorrow night, Duke, you and your soldiers go to open the city gate and welcome the Ravana people into the city. I will lead people to capture Earl Keshid alive!"

On the walls of Fort Soren, the soldiers who came back with Richard's answer told the whole story, Olier only thought a little, and came up with a solution.

"Capture Kexid alive? Are you crazy!" The officer named Duke almost exclaimed, but he quickly lowered his voice and controlled his emotions. Even so, his tone was full of surprise and doubt.

"On the contrary, I'm normal, dear Duke." Olier said softly, and he stepped forward and put his arms around Duke's shoulders, explaining: "If we can capture Earl Khid and take him to La In front of General Wana, he will definitely be rewarded generously, and even get a higher status!"

"But there must be many soldiers around Keshid to protect him. What are you going to do?"

"You don't have to worry about it, Duke, you just need to open the city gate and let the Ravana into the city."

...

the next day.

This is a very ordinary day, not much different from the previous days of siege. If there is any, it is that several of the soldiers fell down due to lack of water, and among the comatose people, some A poor guy fell into a coma completely, no matter how others slapped him, he didn't respond at all, and the cloud of death shrouded the castle again.

"All this will change after tonight!" Duke thought in his heart.

As a member of the initiator of defection to the enemy, his mood on this day was extremely complicated, with anxiety, worry, excitement, and anticipation. He was waiting for the early morning and worried that things would be revealed before then.

But fortunately, nothing happened, and the day, which was as hungry and thirsty as before, finally passed, night fell as promised, and the time for action came soon.

"Get ready for action!"

Under the night, Olier and Duke stood side by side on the city wall, and behind them were more than two hundred heavily armed soldiers. In order to identify their identities, everyone's right arm is tied with a white scarf. They know exactly what they are going to do next. In order to survive, they can only follow their own officers.

"Duke, according to the original plan, light a bonfire on the city wall, open the city gate, and meet the Ravana people!"

"Understood!" Duke immediately agreed,

He turned around and rushed towards the city gate with his soldiers. Tonight's city gate is weakly guarded, only a dozen weak soldiers who are in a state of water shortage are guarding, and they can easily seize the city gate.

"The rest of you, follow me to attack the city lord's mansion and capture Earl Khid alive!"

"Yes!"

"The action begins!"

...

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Olier only took a dozen or so soldiers to act first, and the large army followed far behind. Although they deliberately suppressed their own movements, the simultaneous action of more than a hundred people still made some sleepy The soldiers who woke up and ran out to pee found that, of course, before these unlucky bugs could scream, their necks were cut off by the rushing Olier soldiers.

"stop!"

Not only the soldiers behind were in trouble, but Olier, who was walking in the front, was also in trouble. He came to a patrol team, and the leader directly ordered him to stop, but when he got closer, the little patrol team The captain hurriedly asked respectfully: "Sir Olier, why are you still outside so late?"

"Recently, there have been frequent fights between soldiers in Fort Soren, and most of them happened at night. I couldn't stop worrying, so I took my men out to patrol around." Olier looked as usual, and casually pulled out a Sounds like a no-brainer reason.

"So that's it, you bothered, but after all, the night patrol is still our responsibility, please go back and rest at ease." The patrol captain said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go back now." Olier said, but his right hand gestured to the soldiers behind him under the shadow that the other party could not see. The chief acted first, and sent the enemy to see the phantom deer.

Seeing that Olier listened to his words, the patrol captain was relieved. He really had nothing to do with Olier, an officer with a higher rank than himself. If the other party didn't listen to him, he could only choose to back down.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he said a few more words to Olier, and then led the soldiers to continue to walk forward. However, when he walked past Olier, a sharp blade suddenly appeared, and it passed directly before he could react. Blood spurted out of his neck in an instant. The captain looked at the indifferent Olier with a shocked and painful expression, and opened his mouth to speak, but the words leaked from the gap in his throat with a hissing sound. come out.

The sudden change stunned the patrol soldiers. Before they could react, the soldiers behind Olier also rushed towards them, either slashing with sharp swords or stabbing with spears. It took only one breath. , The patrol team that was attacked was completely wiped out!

Kicking down the patrol captain who was still clutching his neck in pain, Olier remained indifferent, knelt down and wiped the blood off the dagger with his opponent's clothes, and then inserted it back into the scabbard.

Then, he ordered the soldiers who were stained with the blood of the enemy: "Drag the corpses to a dark corner, and then move on!"

More than a dozen soldiers led the action and dragged the corpse to a dark corner with all their strength, then assembled in a hurry and continued to move forward with Olier.

At the same time, the city gate has been occupied by Duke's men. They dragged the bodies of the soldiers who died guarding the city gate to other places, and then opened the city gate. Looking at the dark scenery outside, Duke swallowed. , shouted: "Light the bonfire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier standing on the city wall lit a bonfire with a torch. The flame quickly ignited after touching the combustible material, and soon turned into a raging fire. The high heat caused the soldier who lit the fire to back up. a few steps.

Such flames are particularly dazzling in the dark night, not only the people who have not slept in the city discovered it at the first time, but Richard also saw the soaring fire in the Ravana barracks outside the city.

"It seems that they really acted." Richard chuckled softly, raised his hand to stop Condela's questioning, and said: "Order Mabuku to lead the soldiers into the city first, and if there is no ambush, let us Enter the soldiers."

"Uh...yes, His Majesty Caesar!" Kondra, who received Richard's order, was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and after giving a military salute, he turned and ran outside again.

The order to attack sounded quickly, and the entire Ravana barracks became lively. A few minutes later, groups of soldiers, led by officers, walked out of the camp gate and ran towards the gate of Sorenburg where the bonfire was located!

"I hope you won't deceive me." Looking at the back of Mabuku leading the soldiers to attack, Richard whispered.
