Chapter 868 The City Lord’s Promise
Yang Bo finished the game and was eating and drinking with Su Wei, Annie, and Siya.
Outside Green City in the second world, the bandit group’s camp finally became quiet.
These thieves group members watched helplessly as the lights on the city wall were brightly lit.
There is a wailing sound of one's own members in the ears, which is treating the wound.
Everyone felt very depressed, because everyone knew that those **** guys on the city wall were repairing the damage caused during the day.
Yesterday, the people in the thieves group were very proud and full of confidence, thinking that they could make a lot of money this time.
Because 30 trebuchets and tens of thousands of stone bullets are enough to break the city wall in front of you.
As long as the stone bullets break the bricks and stones on the outside of the city wall, the inside will naturally collapse.
But I didn’t expect that just one night later, the situation would take a shocking turn.
What is the purpose of the thieves group gathering together? Of course, it is to make a fortune and gold coins.
Now it seems that it is impossible to make a fortune, and there is also the risk of injury and death.
Nearly all of the hundreds of people who were responsible for the sneak attack tonight were injured by arrows when they came back. Some of them were seriously injured with several arrows stuck in their bodies.
As for those who cannot come back, let alone those who cannot come back.
What’s more important is that there are 5 less trebuchets!
Of course, no one has confidence in whether there is a trebuchet or not.
Of course some people have backed down.
In a tent in the camp, the same four people were drinking with their arms around a woman last night. Their mood was completely different from last night. Tonight, all four of them had sad faces.
"This sneak attack, 32 people did not come back, and the remaining 90 or so people were injured, half of them seriously!" The man in charge of the trebuchet, a middle-aged man with silver hair, said.
Originally, one trebuchet could not take so many people. It was just that everyone pushed the trebuchet over at night and had to push it back quickly after the sneak attack, so so many people were prepared.
"Shameless, despicable and cunning, they are exactly the same as the Green family." Another bald middle-aged man cursed directly.
There are two other people, one is a thin man with long black hair, and the other is a fat man with short and slightly curly black hair.
“This plan was something we discussed and prepared for five years.” The fat man with slightly curly black hair and a red scarf around his neck was the leader of the Red Turban Thieves Group.
The Red Turban Thieves Group is spread across the entire continent, and each region has a leader. No one knows who the real leader of the Red Turban Thieves Group is.
This big leader is the head of the red-turban bandit group in the Red Maple Leaf Kingdom.
“We paid nearly 100,000 gold coins for 30 trebuchets.” The silver-haired middle-aged man felt heartbroken when he thought about the price his family had paid.
These trebuchets need to be purchased, then dismantled and transported, and a place needs to be prepared upstream of the river.
"This is not your own calculation. The trebuchet can be used a second and third time, but don't count it in our operation." The thin man with long black hair said it directly without giving any face.
This thin man is the second leader of the Tiger Bandits.
"What should we do now? No matter how much we smash during the day, they will repair it at night!"
“Our supplies last for a week at most!”
“I suggest using burning balls!”
“Do not use burning **** unless absolutely necessary.”
"Continue to fight for two more days. If it doesn't work on the fourth day, we will use burning balls." The silver-haired middle-aged man and the bald man wanted to take over Green City, so they rejected the requests of the two thieves group leaders, but they also stated their bottom line.
"Then it's decided. If we can't break the city wall on the fourth day, our two families will withdraw first." The fat man from the red turban bandit group said directly.
Being able to serve as the leader of a band of thieves is definitely something he is capable of.
Had it not been for the cooperation with two noble families this time, and the other party's trebuchet, it would have been impossible for him to attack Green City.
As a band of thieves, the most important thing is to preserve their strength. If something goes wrong, run away quickly.
Yesterday these four people were confidently talking about getting rich and drinking together, but today they were all talking about getting ready to leave.
“Our family has invested so much, we can’t just forget about it!” The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head.
“Not only do we have special incendiary bombs, we also have poisonous smoke bombs that release poisonous smoke.”
“The poison smoke bomb will be even more powerful in an environment like Green City.”
"I suggest that we continue to smash things tomorrow. If the situation is not right, we will use poisonous smoke bombs the day after tomorrow." The leader of the Tiger Thieves Group said.
"Why?"
“You’ll know tomorrow!”
The four people saw the situation the next morning and understood what the leader of the Tiger Bandit Group had said last night. Because of watering and the fact that the sun is still warm during the day, some melted water spreads a wide distance at the base of the city wall.
Under the golden sunshine in the morning, you can see that a wide section under the city wall is a very smooth mirror surface. Everyone knows how slippery it is here.
"Then let's smash the opponent again today. On the one hand, we will paralyze the opponent, and on the other hand, we will try it. If it doesn't work, we will use poisonous smoke bombs and incendiary bombs tomorrow!" The four people finally reached an agreement.
Yang Bo was standing on the city wall at this time and saw four people from a distance.
The main reason is that one of the bald heads is very conspicuous under the sunlight.
These four people looked like ordinary thieves dressed up, but the other thieves were busy doing things. Just these four standing there, they could be ordinary thieves, and these four people didn't notice anyone else walking past them. Is walking behind.
"This disguise is too poor. The red scarf around the fat man's neck is probably the commander of the red scarf thieves group this time."
“The silver-haired middle-aged man was the one who stood next to the trebuchet yesterday. Looking at his well-combed hair, he must be from a noble family!”
“The other thin man is most likely the commander of the Tiger Bandits.”
"This bald head should be a member of another noble family. The nobles stand in a different posture from others. This is due to the etiquette training they received since childhood and was revealed inadvertently."
Yang Bo analyzed the four people one by one.
“Handy, this is for you!” The city lord took a single-tube brass telescope and handed it to Yang Bo.
"Be careful. This is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Such a large piece of crystal with such clarity is worth a lot of money, and it will be made by a jeweler." The city lord warned carefully.
Yang Bo looked at the brass telescope, which was also inlaid with rubies, sapphires and emeralds.
“Your Excellency, I can roughly confirm a few big names among them.” Today, Yang Bo told his analysis to the city lord.
"Very good, keep an eye on them. I want to live, especially those two nobles. As long as I can catch one of them, I will guarantee you a viscount title!" The city lord heard Handy's analysis, because as long as the two nobles are captured, If the nobles catch it, the family behind them will pay a very heavy price, and the Green family will turn defeat into victory.
"I'll try my best, but I need more arrows. There must be a lot of guards around these two people."
"no problem!"
Yang Bo took a monocular and carefully observed the bandit camp, and soon discovered some clues.
That is, there are some areas in the thieves group that others are walking around, and there seems to be a sense of separation from the entire thieves group. It is just that this area is near the river.
“You have to pay attention to see if the other party has any other means. After all, the city lord brought out rockets last night!”
“I didn’t have a chance to ask the city owner how the rockets were made? Could it be brought by game players? After all, this game has been around for many years.”
The thieves were like crazy this morning. These trebuchets kept hitting the city wall with stone bullets.
Even the people on the city wall of Green City felt the city wall being shaken by the smashing.
Yang Bo has been watching the four targets locked in from a distance.
The infantry of the Thieves Regiment were also fully armed and on guard, and their horses were placed outside the trebuchet position.
The cavalry of the Thieves Group are also ready in the distance to prevent people from Green City from coming out.
"What is it?" Yang Bo discovered that these things were hidden in the camp. Only the leaders of the trebuchets could enter and exit, and the other three people could not enter. However, someone moved things out of it, and the other three people took a look. They all nodded with satisfaction.
“Sir, what else can the trebuchet throw besides stone bombs?” Yang Bo also insisted on asking if you don’t understand, and went directly to the city to ask the city lord.
“The trebuchet can also throw a lot of things!”
“You can throw some rotting animal carcasses, which will bring plague diseases.”
“You can also throw a kind of burning ball. After it breaks into pieces, the contents inside will burn. What did you find?” The city lord asked Handy when he said this.
“One corner of their camp is well-defended. I doubt he has any weapons that can cause chaos in our city.” Yang Bo told the truth.
"Impossible, this was made by the kingdom's specialized security department." The city lord said in disbelief when he heard this.
“Your Excellency, just in case.”
“This area near the city wall, all the buildings in the city were poured with water.”
"Okay!" The city lord heard what Handy said and agreed without hesitation, because Handy was a lucky rabbit hunter and had brought him good luck several times.
So the buildings in this part of the city, especially the part near the city wall, also began to be watered.
This time the water tanker used to put out the fire was just boiling water.
All the roofs and walls near this area were covered with a thick layer of frozen armor.
Of course there are some disadvantages, that is, there is also a thick layer of ice on the ground, and in the end we can only sprinkle a thick layer of sand on top of the ice.
"We will still use stone bombs for the first hour tomorrow morning, and incendiary bombs an hour later." The four thieves looked at the brightly lit city wall at night, which meant that today's efforts during the day were in vain again, and the opponent's attack The state of doing it with a torch is obviously a sign of ridicule.
