Death in the 21st

In the mirror, a half-person-high hole appeared clearly, and someone pushed a vehicle full of earth and stone in and out.

"One, two, three...ten! They actually dug ten in total! And it seems that they are almost done!" Leo looked at the picture in the mirror. His pale face, which was originally pale because of his wound, became even pale, almost bloodless.

"Why do you dig so fast?" William Daly muttered.

"From the entrance of the cave, judging by distance, the Paro people have drawn a lot of manpower. One of these caves can hide five hundred soldiers. At that time, the siege battle is in full swing, and five thousand people suddenly emerge from the ground and appear in the city... I'm afraid no defender can withstand such a sudden attack." said a female prophet.

The three female prophets, Leo and William Daly, looked at Ashu Rufate together.

"Usually, the strategy to fight against the tunnel is to dig deep trenches on the ground and intercept the enemy's exit. But this is probably meaningless. Because the Paro people will definitely change their strategies at that time, from ambushing and blasting with gunpowder. If the city wall is bombarded, we will be done... There is no other choice, we can only take the initiative." Ashrufate said.

"What can we do when attacking? We cannot destroy these authentic things with weapons. This is not a siege equipment. It can be done with oil sprinkled and fired." William Daly asked back.

"It's definitely not possible to use oil, but it's enough to use gunpowder!" Thomas said suddenly. "We have a lot of Paro stock in our warehouse. Just take a bucket of gunpowder, light a fuse, and throw it into the tunnel."

"I'm afraid it's useless, it's just that the entrance was knocked down. Give them a day and a half, and they will definitely be able to clean it up." Leo shook his head. "Mr. Thomas, I think this method is unreliable."

"Reliable." Asu Ruffatt suddenly took over the topic. "But it wasn't that Leo thought. We had to wait until they sent five hundred soldiers into the tunnel and dig the last distance... there must be an hour or two. At that time, if we could blow up the entrance of the tunnel, everyone inside would have to suffocate... If this is the case, would they still dare to continue digging the tunnel? Do they still have the courage to clear the entrance and use the tunnel again?"

He spoke out his plan. Everyone looked at him in shock, shocked by the cold determination in his words.

At this time, Rudolph was listening to the report in the center of Paro barracks.

These casualties are heartbreaking. Thomas is really hard to fight! He was sure to kill Thomas by fighting head-on combat, but reality seems to prove another possibility - before Thomas' blood is shed, his blood is more likely to dry out first. Not to be too old, Thomas is really not rigid at all, extremely flexible, which is admirable. After seeing the situation unfavorable, Thomas immediately threw the problem of "Knight's Honor" aside and began to use cannons and muskets. And he was extremely skillful, causing huge casualties to Paro's army.

It seems that the so-called "invincible" record of this old man is not just about luck or the opponent's level is not enough. This flexible and pragmatic attitude alone is not something other old-fashioned commanders can achieve.

Now, the infantry in Paro's army, whether they were Paro or mercenaries, had shown a strong sense of war weariness. At the beginning, the high morale of soldiers who were red-eyed to kill had dissipated. The soldiers began to drag on, and they were reluctant to attack, but they retreated quickly.

Fortunately, the progress of the authenticity exceeded expectations. The raid will be launched the day after tomorrow.

"General, the situation of the wounded is very bad." A voice pulled Rudolph from his future conception to reality. "I don't know what happened... many wounded people... obviously not seriously injured, but now they are..."

This is a strange thing that has happened recently. Many injured people have strange symptoms. The attack initially involves tight teeth and stiff necks. Next, they are spasms in their bodies, difficulty breathing, and sweating a lot. The mouth has a "wry smile" due to the stiff muscles, and the whole body is painful. But they are awake from beginning to end.

Many people think it is the enemy's magic curse, but Master Konig believes that these have nothing to do with magic, it is just a disease. But the problem is that all patients are wounded by the enemy's bow and arrow! This obviously abnormal thing greatly increases the soldiers' fear of war.

Putting aside the Knights who have not been on the battlefield, there are even the dead, the seriously injured and the patients. In fact, Paro's army suffered extremely heavy losses and their morale was obviously depressed.

Now we must find a way to increase the morale of the army!

Rudolph tapped the table with his finger, and a good way appeared in his mind. It not only increased morale, but also reduced meaningless losses, but also avoided showing timidity in front of the enemy.

"Send an envoy to tell them that they will conquer the bodies of the dead tomorrow."

...

"The Paro people are really treacherous." Leo watched the actions of the Paro corpse collectors at the top of the city. They were all personnel without weapons and armor, and they were indeed simply restraining the corpses. Under the vigilant gaze of the city's troops, they should not make any tricks. However, the Paro people's corpses have a very obvious purpose - they will never move the corpses that fill the trenches, but will only take away the corpses that scattered around, which may hinder the siege machinery.

Of course, there were enough corpses, enough for the Paro people to work for a whole day.

Leo did not expose the little tricks of the Paro people, and the breathing of this day was also valuable for the defenders. The soldiers were already very tired, not to mention that the Paro people had a bigger trap being prepared.

"You should be more careful and be careful of the Paro people's fraud!" He ordered the sentries at the city. "Especially when they approach the city wall, be more careful."

The truce will be done for one day to restrain the corpse... Humph! I didn't come sooner or later, but I came at this time. The fools knew what the Paro people were thinking. They planned to use the tunnel to break the city in one fell swoop tomorrow, so they didn't want to suffer meaningless casualties today! When the corpses were all over the ground, why haven't I seen them want to collect the corpse?

After arranging the alert work, he came to Thomas' room. Ashu Rufate was still busy on the map - Leo thought he was arranging combat deployment all night. He fought fiercely for one day during the day and never slept all night at night, and his expression was not exhausted at all. Is this guy a stubborn man?

After a short while, William Daly also came here. The door of the compartment was closed, and Lord Thomas was still sleeping. Even if he was awake, he could not hear the meeting here.

This is a meeting of the three of them.

"The Paro people set up outpost camps on the east and south sides, with trenches, pits and horse-resisting horses. It is impossible to pass through the positions and reach the entrance of the cave." Ashurufate introduced the situation to his two companions. "But there are no positions in the north and west sides, only some horse-resisting horses and limited restraining troops. Their attacks are very weak, and often do not even attack. I believe they hope that we will break out from here... But now, this is our opportunity. If we can send a knight unit, set out from the west, go around in circles, and go straight to the tunnel entrance, the Paro people should be caught off guard."

"I expect that the enemy will have more powerful troops stationed near the tunnel entrance! As long as we can break through the defense of this troops with lightning speed, we can directly rush to the tunnel entrance and solve the problem in just a few seconds."

Asu Ruffat said in an optimistic tone. But he concealed some things, something that Leo could see at a glance. How should he come back after blasting those tunnels?

It is almost impossible to break through the enemy's outpost camp from the back and return directly from the nearest distance to the city gate. Outside the south gate is the enemy's key attack area, and there are very large troops here. However, it is impossible to return the same route, because the enemy will definitely cut off the rear route of this unit.

This is a complete suicide attack, and there is no way to retreat.

If Ashu Rufate had night attacks and night cover (this was due to this point that Ashu Rufate came back alive), this day's raid was completely exposed to the enemy's eyes. The attack might catch the Paro people off guard, but when retreating... the Paro people who were angry and angry would never let this army go!

"I believe there is a great opportunity to complete the task like this." Ashu Rufate looked at his two companions. "The defense on the city is up to you."

"Ashu Rufate, are you going?"

"I will call up volunteers again." Ashu Rufat smiled. "But I'm a little worried if anyone else is willing to go with me, haha..."

His smile froze on his face, because both Leo and William Daly had a tiny face.

"Ashu Rufate, how do you retreat?" William Daly asked suddenly after a long time.

"Of course there will be a way at that time." Ashu Rufate hesitated and replied. "I am a magician, and I can use magic..."

"Master, that's impossible! The danger is as high as 97.6!" Carrie lamented in her mind. But Ashu Rufat immediately drove her voice out of her mind.

"Ashu Rufate, don't lie to us. We are all good brothers and good friends! At this time, do you still need to deceive each other?" Leo put one hand on Ashu Rufate's shoulder.

"But there is no other choice. Even if we correctly poke out the tunnel exit and ambush it there and wait, we can't stop it!" After a long time, Ashu Rufate replied.

"One of the three of us must take risks! For the sake of the entire army, for General Thomas." He whispered.

"Then, let's draw lots according to the ancient ritual." Leo suddenly picked up three balls of paper and threw them into an empty jar. "One ball has words in it, and the other two have no words. The person who drew the words is responsible for this action. It's the fairest way to draw lots. You draw first, William Daly."

William Daly touched a ball of paper and opened it. There was nothing inside. Leo placed the jar in front of Ashu Rufate, who also took out a ball of paper and opened it, but it was still a piece of white paper.

"It seems that the God of Nature has chosen me." Leo smiled and wanted to put down the jar, but Ashu Rufate grabbed his wrist and then used his other hand to pull out the last ball of paper from the jar. Open it, and it was still a piece of white paper.
