Chapter 22 Deception

"This game is not fun at all, Leo." Asu Ruffatt said, throwing the paper ball down. Leo could only smile reluctantly.

"I'll go." Ashu Rufate said. "Leo, you're not healed. William Daly, you don't know how to use gunpowder at all. And if you really need to fight a way out, I'm the most confident. If you don't accept it, we can compete in swords and see who's the strongest."

Neither Leo nor William Daly spoke. In terms of force, Ashu Rufate must be the strongest in the expeditionary army - no one has questioned this point now. Unless the Holy Grail Knights come forward. The Holy Grail Knights may be comparable to Ashu Rufate. But as we all know, the Holy Grail Knights never compete.

"That's how it's decided." Ashu Rufate concluded. "Let's go and collect volunteers first. We also need to take out gunpowder from the inventory and prepare various materials."

"Leave the volunteer matters to me." William Daly said suddenly, and no one else noticed the light that flashed through him in the moment.

After a brief halting day, the Paros' army once again gathered under the city in the early morning. It was densely packed with endless armies.

Since the Expeditionary Force brought the captured cannons onto the city wall, the Paro people's attack distance was greatly extended. They had to gather troops outside the cannon range.

Many of the knights of St. Gene expressed dissatisfaction at first. But in fact, the obvious effect made them shut up. The only change was that the work of supervising the gunners was performed by the militia, because the knights were reluctant to perform such tasks.

But today, Paro's army has not launched an attack for a long time.

A black cloud enveloped half of the sky, just as the murderous aura in the world condensed on the clouds. Today will be the last day! Perhaps because of this enlightenment, the solemn murderous intent was shrouded under the city and could not be removed. Also, because both sides had a day off. At this time, the morale of both armies seemed extremely high, completely eliminating the fatigue that had been before.

The water mirror presents a picture of the enemy's tunnel entrance. The armed soldiers in groups, including many knights wearing heavy armor, walked into the tunnel in a sequel. No vehicles carrying earth and stones are transported out of the tunnel, because there are very few earth and stones left to be dug, and they can be piled directly inside the tunnel.

Ashu Rufate moved his eyes away from the water mirror.

"Okay, Miss Fei'er, there's no need to continue. This is the opportunity I'm looking forward to attacking." He whispered to thank him. The latter looked at him and showed a charming and sad smile.

"Earl, may God's blessing be with you. I hope you can return triumphantly." Fei'er suddenly stood up, came to Ash Rufate, and hugged him gently. She said nothing, but just hugged Ash Rufate like this and pressed her cheek against Ash Rufate's shoulder.

A little while later, Feier straightened her body and left Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate was also stunned for a while, but she turned around and left. The time was not long, and he had no time to think about what this meant.

The war horses had already arrived. Ashu Rufate stepped on the war horses and rushed towards the city gate. There, the attacking troops were on standby.

William Daly suddenly appeared in front of him, as if there was something to say. Ashu Rufate stopped the horse.

"Ash Rufate, is it time to attack?" William Daly asked.

"Well, I saw Paro soldiers walking into the tunnel in a row. I think they have already started digging the last section. Their frontal attack will begin soon, help me guard the city wall!"

"No problem." William Daly promised. "Ashu Rufate... Your saddle is a little slanted, I suggest you check it carefully. Never have problems in the battle." After saying this, he left.

The saddle was a little tilted? Ashu Rufate jumped off the horse and began to carefully check the saddle and bellyband. But it seemed that there was no problem. He carefully checked it all, but still found no problem.

William Daly joked with me? No, it's impossible! He checked again, touched every button and knot on the belt, and did not jump on the war horse again after confirming that there was no problem.

This check wasted five or six minutes. William Daly might have read it wrong, but be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship. These five minutes are still worth it.

There was a sound of horse hooves rolling in front of him, as if the cavalry troops were attacking... Ashu Rufate suddenly felt something was wrong. He rushed to the city gate, but found that the troops that were originally on standby here had left.

"What's going on?" He grabbed a militia and asked. How could it be? How could the army attack on its own without a commander? "Where are the attacking troops here?"

"Mr. William Daly has led them. Lord. You want to see them off, right? But I'm sorry, you're a step late." The militia replied. "Hurry up and go up the city wall, and now they can still hear the call."

That guy William Daly...

But there is no time to think about more. The roar of cannons has sounded, and the Paro people have begun to attack head-on. If William Daly leaves, then he must go there to command!

In the command position far from the city wall, General Rudolf, the commander of Paro's army, was watching the situation on the battlefield, or pretending to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Frontal attack is important, but it is no longer a decisive issue. Two hours later, at most two hours, ten tunnel entrances will be dug up, and endless Paro soldiers emerge from behind the expeditionary force. In this case, it is impossible to have a defense that does not collapse. Even if they do not collapse, they will be exhausted. At that time, you must...

"General! Enemy!" someone suddenly shouted.

"Enemies? What's wrong with the enemy?" Rudolf came back to his senses from his meditation. The battle continued on the city wall. On this long city wall, wailing everywhere, killing sounds shook the sky. Cannons, muskets, bows and arrows flew all over the sky, bringing countless lives to disappear in an instant. Blood sprinkled the battlefield, like hell on earth.

But this is an inevitable situation in the siege, and nothing is worth wondering.

"Enemy...enemy cavalry!" The subordinate pointed to the other side, and a small team of expeditionary cavalry was rushing out of the oblique thorn and heading straight to the entrance of the tunnel. However, there was no established Paro troops in front of them.

Without any hesitation, Rudolf immediately ordered the light cavalry to attack and try his best to delay the enemy's small army. Although his order was executed immediately, it was still one step later. The enemy's target was the authentic entrance! There was no doubt that they did not know what method to use, and they had clearly understood the strategy of the Paro army today.

The first authentic entrance is unguarded!

The tunnel here is quite wide, but in fact it looks larger than what it looks through the water mirror, and it is enough for several soldiers to enter and exit without any obstacles. At this moment, there is a black hole inside and nothing can be seen. The soldiers entering should have already squeezed to the front of the tunnel.

"Quick! Hurry, ignite the powder barrel and throw it inside, and throw it deeper!"

Two or three knights took a powder barrel, lit the fuse, and threw it deeply into the tunnel. They brought more than ten extra horses, each of which hung four powder barrels. In addition, some knights carried powder barrels with them.

"You guys stay here and watch, don't let anyone extinguish it! Come with me!" William Daly shouted an order, and then rushed to the next entrance. Here, a group of bare-body servants immediately dispersed. Several soldiers looked at the surging knights, and threw down their weapons and fled with the servants.

This entrance is also done in the same way, followed by the next one.

But good luck came to an end soon. The light cavalry of Paro's army had arrived, and the two armies were fighting near the entrance of the fourth tunnel. Paro's light cavalry had an undisputed advantage in number. But the knights now had a determination to die. Rather than saying they were defending, they were attacking. Paro's light cavalry was defeated step by step.

There was a roar on the ground, and the powder barrel at the first tunnel entrance had already exploded. The huge explosion even made the horses neigh.

"You guys, don't get involved with the Paro people, go and get rid of the tunnel." William Daly ordered loudly. Under his command, several cavalrymen left the front and rushed to the tunnel. At this time, several Paro cavalry who found the opportunity came out of this gap and rushed straight to William Daly.

William Daly swung his battle axe and chopped down the first enemy. Another Paro man took this opportunity to slash his body with a long sword, but he was unable to break the armor. William Daly split his head and chest with an axe.

The entanglement with the light cavalry wasted a while, but in the end the light cavalry was still dispersed by the knights and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Now it was the fifth tunnel entrance, but the time had just been enough for Paro's army to line up. Paro's infantry emerged from the top of the hills where the tunnel entrance was located, hiding behind the barriers formed by shields and spears, and stepping forward neatly.

"Knight, charge!" William Daly shouted. The knights quickly formed a frontal cavalry array, and rushed towards Paro's army amid the collective shouts.

Seeing the knights charge, the Paros stopped. These enemies were all spearmen, and formed a half-moon formation with shields protecting them, like an iron hedgehog with thorns on both sides, waiting for the battle. Facing the large platoon of spears, most of the knights stopped sprinting at the last moment and dodged. The others were much more miserable: either the spear tip penetrated the chest and died on the spot, or they fell to the ground because of the death of the mount.

William Daly's mount was scratched by a spear. It was crazy because of the pain. The man stood up and kicked hard outside the front hooves. The crazy war horse jumped into the enemy formation, and the spear stabbed it from all directions, but the shield wall also collapsed under its heavy pressure. The war horse fell down with a bang, but William Daly stood up without any injuries, held up his battle axe and launched a crazy attack.

The second wave of cavalry and lances rushed to a rapid death. Now there is no neat formation to protect the spearmen. The armor and shields are no longer firmer than thick paper in front of the charging spearmen. Groups of Paro people were penetrated by cavalry and killed at least two soldiers with each strike.

As the Paro people were about to collapse, a sudden explosion affected the entire battle. The huge wave of air affected everyone, regardless of the enemy, and everything flew into the sky wherever they went. The human body was torn apart, the internal organs were shattered, and the limbs and blood were flying all over the sky.

William Daly climbed up, lucky to be on the edge, but the impact also made him dizzy. He calmed down and found that all the sides who had just fought had disappeared. Fifty knights and at least three hundred raiders turned into minced meat all over the ground.
