Chapter 182: Surprise Attack on Huming City (5)
The Luolin Empire is not the only one that knows how to use spies.
While the Rollin Empire deployed a large number of spies in the Britannia Empire to gather information, the Britannia Empire naturally also deployed a large number of spies in the Rollin Empire.
Judging from the strength of the spies, the spies of the Britannia Empire are still stronger than the spies of the Luolin Empire.
At the end of last year, the important information that "the Rollin Empire will launch a counterattack against the Britannia Empire next spring" was successfully spied out and passed back to the country.
In order to deduce the possibility of success in the long-distance "surprise attack on Huming City", Iser and Albert specifically asked spies to lurk around Huming City and collect all the information about Huming City, whether useful or not. Small information such as the time when Hu Mingcheng pushed the garbage outside the city was also sent back.
The spies lurking around Huming City did not disappoint Iser and Albert.
A huge amount of information about Hu Ming City was successfully sent back.
This pile of information stacked together may be taller than Iser, who is 1.9 meters tall.
The spies also successfully obeyed the words of Iser and Albert, "Regardless of whether it is useful or not, even small information such as the time when Hu Mingcheng pushed the garbage outside the city will be sent back."
The spies came back with a lot of information, whether it was true or not.
Even the information about how much garbage Huming City dumped every day was truthfully passed back to the country by the spies.
Iser and Albert, faced with this mountain of information, managed to process this large amount of information with just the strength of the two of them, and summarized three pieces of information about the capture of Huming City. The most important information:
Article 1: The walls of Huming City are not high.
Article 2: The soldiers and generals stationed at Huming City were not concerned about the defense of Huming City.
Article 3: There are not many defenders in Huming City.
Based on these three most important pieces of information, Iser and Albert deduced that the long-distance attack on "Surprise Attack on Huming City" was feasible! And he also planned a specific plan to capture Huming City!
The specific plan to capture Huming City is as follows:
After the surprise attack force arrived at Huming City, there were no patrols or lighting torches outside the city because no one from the generals to the soldiers paid attention to the defense of Huming City.
Therefore, first a small elite force was sent to take advantage of the dark night to get under the wall of Huming City.
Because the wall of Huming City is not high, you can rely on the grappling hook to hook onto the city wall, and then climb to the city wall along the thick rope tied behind the grappling hook.
This elite force relied on the grappling hook, and after climbing up the city wall, they lowered the suspension bridge-style gate of Huming City as quickly as possible.
After the city gate was lowered, the large cavalry troops waiting outside the city broke into Huming City to clean up.
The above is the entire battle plan for capturing Huming City.
It's that simple, and it's that difficult at the same time.
As for which elite force should be sent to guard the city gate, and who should be sent to lead this elite force, it was all decided by Albert on the spot based on the situation.
While leading the surprise attack, Albert was constantly thinking about this problem, thinking about which troop to send, and who to send to lead this elite force responsible for scaling the city wall and lowering the gate.
After thinking about it, Albert finally decided that Team 7 and Enli Hunter, the captain of Team 7, would be responsible for the task of "opening the city gates"!
There is a deep reason why Albert decided this way.
First of all, this No. 7 team is one of the best among all 15 teams in the surprise attack force in terms of combat effectiveness.
Moreover, there are many veterans in Team 7 who are good at assassination.
Therefore, Albert decided to hand over the arduous task of scaling the city wall and lowering the city gate to Team 7.
The reason for letting Enli lead this army is actually very simple.
Because favor is very strong.
Before Su Cheng, a dazzling new star, rose,
The strongest knights among the younger generation of the Britannia Empire Army are undoubtedly Enri and Alyssa, both known as the "Twin Generals".
Enri's on-the-spot reaction, command, and force were undoubtedly the best among this 6,000-man surprise attack army.
Therefore, Albert decided to entrust Enli with the task of leading the elite team to climb the city wall.
And Enli also swore to Albert that he would definitely lower the gate of Huming City!
After swearing to Albert, Enri selected the 50 elites who were the most skilled and adept at assassination from among the 400 people in Team 7.
After selecting the personnel to participate in this battle, Enri led them to rush towards the wall of Huming City resolutely...
…
Twenty minutes have passed since Enli led the elite team towards the city wall.
There is a very hidden place outside Huming City.
An army of 6,000 cavalry is lurking here.
Albert rode his horse and stood at the forefront of the army, silently waiting for the gate of Huming City to be lowered.
Once the gates of Huming City are lowered, he will immediately lead the 6,000 cavalry behind him into Huming City!
Whether he and the 6,000 cavalry behind him can break into Huming City depends on whether Enli can lead that elite team to successfully control the city gate!
This shows how chaotic and risky this "Spring Awakening" offensive is.
The success of the "Spring Awakening" offensive depends entirely on the success of the "surprise attack on Huming City" operation, and the success of the "surprise attack on Huming City" operation all depends on whether Enli can lead a small elite force to control the city gate.
This shows how risky and random the "Spring Awakening" offensive is.
If any link in this combat plan goes wrong, the "Spring Awakening" offensive will fail.
It can be seen that the saying "the greater the risk, the greater the reward" is indeed true.
If the "Spring Awakening" offensive can succeed, the benefits will indeed be immeasurable.
However, the risks of successfully implementing the "Spring Awakening" offensive are so high that it is difficult to imagine.
The operation to control the city gate that Enli is now responsible for is related to the success of the "surprise attack on Huming City", and it is also related to the success of the "Spring Awakening" offensive.
Therefore, many senior generals, including Albert, are holding their breath and staring at the still closed gate of Huming City.
Some people even began to lower their heads and pray that Enli could successfully lower the city gate.
Looking at the gate of Huming City, which was still closed, Albert couldn't help but frown.
Then he took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time——
It has been 25 minutes since Enli set off with his troops.
Looking at the constantly rotating second and minute hands on the pocket watch, Albert's expression couldn't help but become a little solemn.
…
At this time, somewhere on the wall of Huming City.
"Captain, everyone has boarded the city wall."
"Well, okay." Enli whispered, "Put away all four grappling hooks, and then divide into two groups and head towards the city gate according to the original plan."
"clear."
After receiving Enli's order, the soldier immediately walked quickly to the city wall and put away all four grappling hooks.
All members of this team, including Enli, were not wearing any armor or protective gear at this time, because wearing armor or protective gear would easily make loud noises.
Therefore, all the members were dressed in black cloth, and even their faces were covered with black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
So far, the battle to control the city gate has gone smoothly. Everyone in the team, including Enli, has successfully climbed onto the city wall.
Now, all you need to do is control the city gate!
