Chapter 146
A night without a moon is suitable for night attacks. □Baidu search: □Sui□Meng□Xiao□Net□□In such a night, as long as the steps are gentle enough and the movements are quiet enough, you may be able to quietly climb the city. As long as you can get the city and be able to entangle the defenders on the city, as long as you entangle the defenders on the city, everything is possible.
This time, the person who acted was arranged by Pope Innocent IV himself. Because during the day, the Duke of Thuringian, Henry Raspi, suffered too much loss in the army, so during the night, Pope Innocent IV sent Henry III, King John, Henry VII and the Earl of Artowa. This made the three of them a little worried, but it was even more so that no one of them could refuse.
Due to the number of issues, the Templars were still only 100. And at night, they took off their white cloaks and replaced them with black cloaks. The rest were the English army occupied the absolute majority of 3,000, and the Earl of Artowa only sent 1,000 people. However, King Henry III of John still used a little trick. Among the 3,000 people he sent, 1,000 were still archers.
During the daytime battle, he understood that entering the soldiers between the "small fortresses" and the city of Turin was a very dangerous place. Therefore, his archers could launch attacks outside the entire front line. And today he asked his men to bring tinder oil, and if possible, it would be better to ignite the "roofs" on the top of the city. The Pope asked Henry VII to personally command the remaining stone throwers to continuously suppress the "small fortresses". Only when they did not work might there be a chance to attack the top of the city.
But this can only be done after the infantry approaches the city. After all, thousands of people have to sneak in secret, which is definitely not an easy task.
"Everyone has to pack up their bodies and have no sound when they jump. Also, wrap your weapons in cloth, and follow my advice, what should I bite in my mouth!"
Obviously, Europeans did not know how to hold a person, chew a horse, wrap a cloth on his feet. The European generals of this era were much worse than the systematic nature of ancient Chinese military strategists. However, the one who just spoke was a Templar, which shows that he had deep combat experience in the battles of the Arab Empire gave him some gains.
The Templars were all excellent warriors who had lost their wealth and devoted themselves to religious wars. In this era, the knights were not as rich as you thought. Their wealth required a large number of prisoners in the war, such as armor, slaves, horses and rewards from the monarchs. As for the war, war was almost their only source of income. As for the Templars, there was some difference from ordinary knights. They devoted themselves to the so-called jihad, and had already put money, status and other things. After all, they had already put life and death out of the way. This made it easier for them to devote themselves to war.
"My brothers, we will give our lives to the Lord tonight. Now please follow me and pray to the Lord, and I will join you in the city occupied by the devils of the East!"
So far, the fact that Zhao Fubo quietly went to attack the Kingdom of Granada is still a secret for the Pope's army led by Pope Innocent IV. If this secret was maintained for a long time, when Zhao Fubo exchanged the entire Spain for Gibraltar and brought the army of the Kingdom of Castile, Pope Innocent IV would be shocked.
The Templar spoke to the 50 soldiers he led, trying to inspire their morale so that they could roar with the terrifying beast in front of them. He held his own sword, completely wrapped in black cloth, and looked at the one in front of him, and had his helmet and excess armor. He was wearing only the chain mail like a archer and the shield, and he nodded slowly.
Then he knelt down on the ground with his men and listened to the bishop's words when he was in Mass.
"My children, you may be in the battle with the devil..."
When everything was done, all the soldiers had become as dark as iron. Perhaps they had already determined to die at this moment, and the war became less hideous and terrifying in their hearts.
There was no moon in the sky. Against the background of the starry blue sky, the bright stars flashed with their eternal light. The soldiers took small steps and followed the Templars in front of them quietly. In such a dark situation, they looked tall and firm.
No one made a sound, only the sound of footsteps. In the distance ahead were those "small fortresses" standing in the dark. At this moment, they were as terrifying as giants sitting in the dark. Especially those longbowmen, who had experienced battles against the "giant" during the day. It was hopeless and had no chance to fight.
In the autumn night, the dead bodies had already emitted a terrible stench of corpses. This was nauseating, but everyone gritted their teeth. Because everyone understood that the seemingly silent "small fortresses" actually hidden the enemy's terrible weapons. However, the night attack was destined to be unsuccessful at this moment. Almost as soon as they were on the narrow path of the "comb wall", the nails and crossbows placed under the ground played a warning role.
"Ah, Emperor..."
The running man stepped on the nail towards the sky with one foot. The structure of the thing was extremely simple. The nails facing downwards were fixed in the soil, while the nails facing away could easily penetrate the face of people's feet. This was not the most terrible thing. It was terrible that the nails were soaked in the feces, and they emitted a foul odor, and even those that were deliberately left were left without feces, because they were taken out of the water in advance, and at this moment, the nails had a thin layer of rust.
After such iron nails penetrate the foot, they may kill someone's life due to bacterial infection, especially in this era, which is a terminal tetanus bacteria. If such a fatal disease is not allowed, they may die from sepsis.
The sharp iron spikes with increased pain made the stabbed scream. After all, no one knew to install steel plates on the soles of the shoes at this time to prevent stabilization, just a scream turned this night attack into a strong attack. Almost as the fright sounded, the long searchlights of the city wall turned over, and the "small fortresses" also shot out lights, shining on the soldiers who were attacking at night. @ya
