Chapter 867 Sneak attack and counter-sneak attack
“Big boss!”
“Big boss, it’s not good!”
"Big boss, we are in big trouble!" The big boss of the thieves group suddenly heard the urgent voice of his men, and took out the dagger hidden under the pillow with his backhand, and then sat up all of a sudden.
It was a little dark inside the tent, but the big leader breathed a sigh of relief and lifted up the animal skins on his body, not caring about the other two shivering women.
"Come in!"
“What are you doing yelling?”
"Did people from Green City call?" The big leader was relieved when he heard that there was no horn sound outside. When the people outside came in, he cursed in a daze.
The few members of the thieves group who came in did not dare to say anything and quickly helped the big leader put on his clothes and armor.
After the big leader is dressed, he looks similar to other members of the thieves group around him.
Because the leader of the thieves group knew that there was an archer with superb archery skills in Green City.
“Ah!!” When the leader of the thieves group walked out of the tent, he couldn’t believe what he saw in front of him.
Although the winter sun has not yet come out, the light has already shone in the east.
Because the Green City in front of me has changed, and it has become unrecognizable to me.
The city wall facing the thieves group has a thick layer of ice on it.
Looks like a city of ice and snow.
“These **** bastards!” The leader of the thieves group immediately realized what was happening.
“Send a team of people to take a closer look!” The leader saw this scene and quickly gave the order.
At this time, the guards of Green City were on the city wall, watching from a high position.
Everyone worked hard for most of the night and finally achieved the effect in front of them.
The city wall actually doesn't look good when viewed up close, because of the ice edges left by the water flowing on it.
A small group of thieves came directly to the bottom of the city wall. The guards on the city wall ignored the group of thieves at all.
One of the thieves slipped and fell to the ground. It turned out that last night, the hot water was poured too fast in some places, which meant that he was inexperienced at first. All the hot water was poured in one place, causing the hot water to spread directly to the bottom of the city wall.
A layer of ice formed under the city walls.
Yang Bo was also on the city wall at this time, because he was called to the city wall by the city lord in the middle of the night yesterday to direct this matter.
Yang Bo also discovered that something was wrong, so he asked people to water the water in sections.
Last night, at least three to four thousand people participated in this matter. They set up a large pot directly behind the city wall and started boiling water.
“These bastards!”
“These bastards!”
“Whose **** idea was this!” The other three people also yelled when they saw this scene.
"Have a meal!"
“After the food is eaten, hit it with a trebuchet!”
“I don’t believe ice can be as hard as rock!” the leader of the thieves group gritted his teeth.
“Handy, your idea is so great!” The city lord was also very satisfied with the result.
Other city walls are now doing this, including a section of the Green College wall, which is also starting to be watered.
As long as the city wall doesn't fall down, it won't be a big deal.
Although these city walls appear to be made of stone or bricks, the interior is filled with soil, which does not mean that the entire wall is made of stones or bricks.
“Thank you for your compliment.” The game character controlled by Yang Bo is also a noble, so the title has been changed.
“Your task now is to find a way to kill their leader, but these guys are smart enough to wear the same clothes!” The city lord looked at the thieves in the distance and had already begun to eat.
"Yes!" Yang Bo didn't say much. In fact, Yang Bo had already seen who the leaders were.
Because the disguise of these people is simply too low-level in Yang Bo's opinion.
However, everyone in the thieves group is not in a good mood. Yesterday, these thieves were still talking about how to make a fortune after entering the city.
“What are each of them doing?”
“After eating, all you have to do is push the trebuchet into position, and then hit it hard.”
“After the city is destroyed, everyone can enjoy the rich women inside.” The leader of the thieves group said loudly.
"Yes!" Some of the thieves answered loudly and seemed very excited, while others felt a little disgusted when they heard this.
However, the other three people did not speak, because Green City is like this now. If these thieves are not encouraged, it will be difficult to break Green City.
After the thieves group finished eating, under the command of the horn, the entire camp began to move forward.
Some thieves are pushing the horses, and some are pushing the 30 trebuchets that have been assembled.
30 trebuchets arrived at the designated location.
"These people who control the trebuchets are definitely not members of the thieves group. They are so familiar with them. They must be the private armed forces of some nobles around them!" Yang Bo saw that the people in the thieves group were skillfully operating the trebuchets.
These officers on the city wall, as well as the city lord and nobles also saw it.
“How do these gangsters control trebuchets?”
“And you can control it so skillfully?”
“These **** bastards?”
“Don’t let us catch who it is, or we must make them look good!” Yang Bo listened to the scoldings of the city lord and city councilors.
Trebuchets are strategic materials in this world, and there are very few people who know how to control them. Even in Green City, only professional personnel can approach and control trebuchets.
Not to mention a complex device like a trebuchet, assembling the parts requires ultra-high technology.
It cannot be learned without special training.
“One!” Yang Bo found a leader among the bandits.
Although this leader did not bring any followers.
But there are several guards within a certain distance of this leader.
Others who approach the trebuchet will be stopped by some bandits next to the trebuchet, but no one stops these people at all.
Because the trebuchet has to operate, it must be prevented from causing trouble by some people.
The officers on the city wall blew their sirens back and forth, and the soldiers on the city wall hid under the city wall one after another.
Only a small number of personnel were left on the city wall, and these people were all elites in the army.
Yang Bo and these people are on the other side of the city wall, which is beyond the range of the trebuchet.
One of the thieves' trebuchets throws a stone.
The trebuchet's stone bullets smashed against the icy city wall.
Because the ice is covered layer by layer, it is very hard.
The stone bullet hit the icy city wall. The stone bullet was smashed into pieces, and a piece of ice was also smashed on the icy city wall.
But it has no impact on the city wall inside. "These **** bastards!" A bandit leader who was watching in front of a trebuchet gritted his teeth in anger when he saw this result.
30 trebuchets kicked off the smashing of the city wall.
Stone bullets kept hitting the city wall.
There were at least hundreds of stone bullets in the first round. Although it looked like the walls were hit with holes, they were all made of ice.
“Your Excellency, we can repair it again at night.” Yang Bo seemed to see the worry of the city lord and smiled.
The city lord patted Handy's shoulder vigorously: "Okay!"
Some stone bullets also hit the city, but most of the buildings in the city in this world are made of stone, so the impact is not significant.
Yang Bo now also understands why he first saw the streets in Green City were narrow and most of them were stone buildings. It was originally for this.
After five rounds of smashing, the members of the thieves group were dumbfounded, because hundreds of stone bullets were thrown out, and they achieved almost no results.
“Smash it!” The leaders of the four thieves groups gathered together, and the final result of the discussion was to smash it hard.
More than 2,000 stone bullets were used in a whole day, and the surface of the city wall was also cratered.
Yang Bo did not take action on this day, because only the leader of one bandit group came to the front today.
"There seem to be four commanders, which means that this group of thieves is composed of four groups. In addition to the Tiger Thieves Group, there are two other Red Turban Thieves Groups?"
"I'm afraid these two are the private armed forces of two nobles. One of them commands the trebuchet, and the other one commands something?"
“These thieves will definitely not give up so easily. After all, they have put in so much effort to achieve the situation they have today.”
“I’ll definitely have to fight in the end.”
“Handy, prepare to go up the city wall.” The game character controlled by Yang Bo was at his residence in the city, and the city lord personally came to notify him.
“Ah!” Yang Bo thought the city wanted to counterattack.
“Our people are repairing the city wall tonight, and those members of the bandit group will definitely come to cause trouble.”
"We will pretend to repair it first, and our archers will make them look good as long as they dare to come."
“You are responsible for shooting the rockets.” The city lord explained.
Yang Bo understood and quickly flattered him: "Your Excellency is simply the God of War!"
"What you said is a bit too much. There are spies in our city, so the preparations may be leaked." The city lord was a little dumbfounded, but he was still enjoying himself.
Yang Bo saw the arrows given by the city lord. There was something burning quickly on the arrows, and it was extremely dangerous. After lighting it, he shot it out immediately.
The archers hid behind the arrow stacks on the city wall, while the other soldiers pretended to run back and forth, and there were torches shining.
At the beginning, Yang Bo did not see anyone in the thieves group moving.
But just over 10 minutes later, Yang Bo discovered that the trebuchet was actually moving forward slowly.
And the trebuchets were covered with something and camouflaged with snow.
After the game character received the power seed, the distance and clarity that Yang Bo could see increased.
Not far from Yang Bo, there is a torch inserted there, and a dozen special rockets are placed there.
Nearly half an hour later, Yang Bo counted and found that about 5 trebuchets had moved to the position where they would be withdrawn in the afternoon.
These people made no sound during the whole process. Yang Bo saw these people tearing away the camouflage covering the trebuchet.
The trebuchet position was already in a mess in the afternoon.
Yang Bo directly picked up a rocket, lit it on the torch, and then shot out with one arrow.
Some of the hidden archers have noticed the abnormality below, and everyone is staring at Yang Bo's movements.
Seeing Yang Bo pick up the rocket, everyone also picked up their own arrows and put them on the bow.
Adam was also inside, and Su Wei was still very excited about this situation. Of course, Yang Bo didn't say that this was a real game, otherwise Su Wei would definitely not want to kill a few thieves for fun.
This rocket was shot directly into the sky. The rocket burned rapidly while flying. After reaching the air, it actually burned while falling slowly.
“I’ll go!” Yang Bo found that it was like a flare.
The thief who was operating the trebuchet below was dumbfounded, who would have expected that it suddenly lit up.
But the next second he saw his companion being shot by an arrow.
The archer's arrow makes no sound when it is shot, and the person who is hit can only react after it is hit.
Because the incident happened suddenly, one side was prepared and the other was not, so 50% of the bandits operating several trebuchets were hit by arrows in the first round.
"ah!"
"Ah!!" These bandits screamed and ran back quickly. Of course, those who couldn't run had hit the critical point.
But more than 80% of them ran away because everyone’s accuracy was not so accurate at night.
Yang Bo did not take action because Yang Bo's target was not these minions.
Yang Bo fired a second rocket. At this time, the fast archers on the city wall had already shot two arrows. These archers had already placed the arrows at convenient locations.
The black armored cavalry regiment waiting at the city gate rushed out directly.
Following them were some light cavalry.
The thieves group's camp was in chaos, but the black armored cavalry regiment did not attack the thieves group's camp.
Instead, he acted as if he was going to attack the bandit camp.
The bandit camp was in a mess, and no one cared about the five trebuchets in front of them.
Then the light cavalry dragged the five trebuchets directly back into the city.
“These **** bastards!” The city lord looked at the traces of wear on these parts of the trebuchet. Whether they were wooden parts or metal parts, they originally had numbers on them.
Yang Bo didn’t say anything because he didn’t understand these things.
“What a pity, I shot a guy and he actually ran away!” Su Wei said with some pity after quitting the game.
“If I use the nerve connection game, I will definitely be able to shoot him in the vital part!”
“Just run away. It’s not easy to take credit tonight anyway!” Yang Bo muttered in his heart. If one day you knew that what you shot was a real person, you might not have the same idea today.
“How many days will these bandits last?”
“It will probably take several days. Judging from the trebuchets they have reserved, only 1/5 of the stone bullets have been used up!”
“These stone bullets are not cheap, do you think the thieves can use ice balls?”
"It's very possible, but the thieves group can't break through the city wall. This is all in vain." Yang Bo knew that the thieves group would definitely do this.
But as the defending side, as long as the opponent cannot get on the city wall, it is a victory.
“Do you think they have any special trebuchet ammunition?”
"There should be this. I'll ask the city lord tomorrow." Yang Bo found that the rocket last night had ingredients similar to gunpowder, but it seemed that too much nitrate was added to it, and then some phosphorus and the like were added. Something was added to slow down the burning, so Yang Bo wondered whether to take out the gunpowder.
“Forget it, maybe you will be sanctioned by the Aqualan Empire if you take it out. You will directly give your game character a disease and erase the unstable factor of your game character.”
