Chapter 1050: Night raid failed
After coming to the southwestern wall of Siena, Marin did not order an attack, but came to the yard where the two tunnel-digging teams were sent.
"What? The tunnel hasn't been digged yet? When I came last time, didn't you say it was going to be digged?" Marin was furious at the head of the leading tunnel digging team.
"Dagong, the last time you came, we did dig near the city wall. But ... but who knows that the bottom of the hillside under the city wall is all granite! The digging can't move!" almost cry. The excavation along the way was quite smooth. Unexpectedly, the bottom of the hillside below the city wall in the southwestern part of Siena is all granite geology. It really can't be digged ...
It's not that you can't dig at all. You can continue digging with professional mining picks for quarrying. However, the stone was so hard that it was too slow to dig. If you want to dig through, it is estimated that it will be two or three months ...
When he told Marin this idea, Marin almost spewed out an old blood-Nima, two or three months ... My army had starved to death, and no enemy needed to ...
However, Marin also knows that this is not a blame for the authentic excavation team. Because, he did not know that the "base" of the hillside surrounding Siena was all granite. From the outside, the hillside is still lush, so he thought it was Tushan ...
Marin sat down dejectedly, without thinking, another tunnel excavation team in the city must have failed. Because the direction of the excavation of the two teams is relative, even facing each other, in order to allow the tunnels of both sides to be directly connected. But now ... the other party must not be able to dig the granite at the root of the hill ...
"By the way, I have another insurance measure!" At this moment, Marin suddenly remembered that he still had a third team in Siena City, which was responsible for cooperating with the storming of the city gate.
There are 40 people in the team responsible for attacking the city gate from inside and outside, all of whom are Marlins who ordered spies from the Italian branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to pay high prices for hired from all over Italy. They were led by spies from Italy distributed by Marin and lived in three small courtyards near the northwest gate of Siena. Moreover, Malinte spent a high price to buy the guards of the city and transported a batch of swords and shields to equip the 40 people. Forty Hercules hit the city gate with their swords and shields, and the general Italian mercenaries really can't stop it ...
Marin's army was lurking quietly. Therefore, the Siena defenders in the city should not have piled up the gate hole with debris. Because that's what you would do in wartime. After all, once the city gate hole is blocked, the city gate cannot be opened. The city of Siena is the traffic hub of the Republic of Siena and is an extremely important three-way junction. If the city gate is not opened, I am afraid that the traffic of the Republic of Siena will be paralyzed. Therefore, less than a last resort, the other party will not accumulate masonry debris in the city gate cave ...
...
In order to rule the death squads in the city, Marin sent his hand to the northwest gate of Siena city, took out double-fired artillery battles, and placed three in a row, as a code to connect the city ... The code means-from three hours The door launched an attack ...
The reason why the attack was launched three hours later was because the artillery was so loud, it must have alarmed a lot of Siena defenders. Even some Siena officers will be suspicious and alert. If the attack is launched at this time, it may just hit the muzzle ...
If the attack was launched three hours later, it would be different. Even if the Siena defenders were curious, they should be tired after 3 hours. Moreover, in the middle of the night, it is very tiring and you do n’t sleep for 3 hours. Do you want to sleep? Even a warrior with a strong curiosity should relax after an hour of alertness. After relaxing, it is natural to continue to sleep ... At that time, seizing the city gate, just ...
...
At this time, in the city of Siena, near the northwest gate, the three spies of the leading North Sea Chamber of Commerce scattered in three small courtyards were shocked at the same time-they knew that the time to wait ...
During this time, the three spy chiefs all slept during the day, and at night, they sat specifically to listen to the sound-wait for the sound of the artillery battle ... Their task was also to hear the sound, three hours later With a total of 40 dead men in 3 teams, holding a knife and shield, rushed towards the inside of the northwest gate of Siena ...
After hearing three "double guns," the three immediately stood up and began to prepare for the attack three hours later. While the men were still asleep, the three men solemnly took out a hanging key from their chests and walked quietly toward the basement of their respective small courtyards ...
After opening the basement, the "goods" in the three basements appeared in front of us-this is a batch of single-swords, wooden shields and leather armor ...
Single pole and wooden shield are ordinary goods, of course, do not use too high-grade goods for these dead. As for leather armor, it is not rhinoceros armor, but ordinary cowhide leather armor. No way, Marin's main rhinoceros armor is not enough, how can it be sent into the city for these hired "outsiders"? Only the three chiefs are themselves. The leather armor they wear is all double-layer special leather armor ...
At about two o'clock in the morning, the three chiefs awakened their men in their respective yards and sent out their sword shields and leather armor. Then, the people in the two yards, all heavily armed, followed the leader and came to the yard closest to the northwest gate, squeezed inside, waiting for the final launch time ...
At 2:50 in the morning, only 10 minutes away from the agreed time, the three leaders began to give each person a pottery bowl of spirits to make them drink courage. Of course, after drinking, these people did not break the bowl as they did in the TV series. Because, there will be the possibility of disturbing the defenders. Therefore, after drinking hard liquor, these people silently put down the bowl and then lined up to the courtyard door ...
At the same time, outside the northwest gate, Marin also lurked with the army near the gate on time, just waiting for the gate to open ...
...
At three o'clock in the morning, suddenly, the inside of the northwest gate of Siena suddenly burst into shouts. Then, the sounds of collisions of knives and guns and screams came. Obviously, the death squads in the city started ...
Marin was happy in his heart, so he waved his hand and sent the sword and shield soldiers to lean against the city gate ...
...
However, half an hour later, the shouting and killing in the city continued, but the city gate did not open ...
...
Let's put our eyes on the city gate ...
At this time, there was a "Schwarzenegger" fierce man in the city gate cave, also holding a knife and shield, and carrying a group of defenders, struggling to resist the impact of the death squad ... The death squad rushed many times, all Blocked by this sturdy defender ...
Speaking of Malin, unfortunately, if he does not launch an attack tonight, he may not encounter this "Schwarzenegger". Because, this cargo is not responsible for defending the Northwest Gate, but from the South Gate.
The reason is very simple-this guy has a good friend stationed at the Northwest Gate ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Tonight, this guy just happened to be on duty, so he came to find a friend to play with. And his friend happened to be responsible for guarding the northwest gate city gate tonight, so the goods also lived here ...
That is to say, the Italian mercenary has a good military discipline. In the case of the Beihai National Army, even if he is a colleague, he cannot be allowed to live in the barracks ...
But it was this kind of yin and yang that caused Marin to suffer bad luck-this ancient cottage version of "Schwarzenegger" even took a group of weak Italian mercenaries to block the 40-deceased's rotation and guard The Shing Mun cave lasted for half an hour ... This fully confirmed the Nas theory of "a group of sheep led by a lion can defeat a group of lions led by a sheep" ...
Although the quality of Italian mercenaries is average, half an hour is enough for the defenders in the city to react. So, the 40 warriors in the Northwest Gate were surrounded by the Siena defenders in the city ...
...
"Oops! The night raid failed!" When he saw a large number of Siena defenders pouring out of the city, Marin knew that the night raid was a complete failure. Moreover, he also caught three excellent spies and 40 warriors hired at high prices ...
