Chapter 318 City Breakdown(1/2)
Rinaldi continued to narrate: "These people have all given their lives, and 25 people have climbed up.
"After these people were sent up, there was silence and no movement.
"Brothers, stand against the city wall, waiting for the outcome of the matter."
Rinaldi said this, paused, took a sip of wine, and moistened her voice.
Shana slapped the table anxiously and urged: "Let me tell me quickly, don't stop, what's wrong?"
Zarro guessed: "Is there a trap above, and everyone who goes up is controlled, so there is silence?"
Odin said professionally: "Control a person and keep him from making a sound is far more troublesome than killing him directly."
Danny retorted: "It's hard to kill 25 people quietly.
"In contrast, it is easier to catch a leader and use him to threaten others."
Odin and Danny argued: "But it's not easy to judge which person is the leader among 25 people."
Danny did not retreat: "These knights were selected and they would not be bad. It would be even more difficult to kill them and not let them make a sound."
Roger knocked on the table and joined the discussion: "I guess no one died or was controlled at all. Things went well, and they were just scaring themselves."
Muttieri came to argue, and he said, "How can I see it?"
"If this traitor is actually loyal to the Antioch leader.
“He arranged a man in the tower and went up and killed one.
"Because I was caught off guard and beaten with more and less, the knights were killed before I could speak.
"I think this may exist, too."
Roger shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible, the risk and return are disproportionate, it's not worth it.
"If I were the leader of the city guarding and the traitor was actually loyal to me, I would take this opportunity to set traps in the city, let them open the city gates, and then capture all the elite troops of the siege.
"There are only 25 knights, too few, not enough to be stuck between the teeth."
Odin touched his eye mask and said, "It's like the trap you set up when you were defending the city in Toledo."
Henk suddenly became excited at this time. He gestured and shouted loudly: "I kill me, kill me, kill me..."
Roger yelled, covering his sensitive ears, "Henk, shut up!"
Rinaldi and others were no longer making noise in the tent, he said:
"The person who went up was really fine, but the person who was waiting downstairs was too worried.
"They could not hear the movements of the people above, thinking that the person who sent them in had been betrayed, strangled, or had his throat cut.
“So the people behind stopped climbing and following.
"The warrior who went up realized that the Christian companion behind him was invaded by fear, so he retreated back and left the ladder.
"So they lay on the defensive wall and whispered to encourage their companions to climb, saying that everything was safe.
"After hearing the voices of the brothers who were still alive, the people below were eager to climb the ladder.
"Until later, because there were too many people climbing at the same time, the ancient and worn defense wall was torn and damaged, and the stones were broken.
"Then the ladder took off the rope and fell straight down the ground with the person who was still standing on it.
"A lot of spears were erected near the city wall, and the fallen people poked them up and died.
"Some others were injured by stones that fell off the city wall, some were half dead, and some were dead."
Shana said aloud and said regretfully: "It's over."
Danny spread his hands and said, "Of course it's over."
"The sound of the stone falling down and the screams of the dead, in the quiet night, do you still expect the enemy to hear it?
"This operation will definitely be over."
Roger clasped the table with his fingers, and the focus of his attention was different from Danny and Shana.
He thought, this is the battlefield psychology.
I retreated because of fear before, but later I rushed forward because of being too excited.
This shows that when a person is in a dangerous situation, his emotions will fluctuate violently.
These knights were carefully selected, and that's it.
When ordinary people encounter danger and are in trouble, they will be more extreme.
How to make your warriors fearless or make the morale of the other party collapse instantly through appropriate guidance.
There is a lot of knowledge here and it is worth studying.
Linardi smiled and said, "It's not over, the enemy has not discovered it."
Danny, Odin and others shook their heads and didn't believe it.
Shana screamed in pain, as if she was dying.
The guard outside the tent probed in and checked.
Shana pointed to the guards and said, "Look, how could this scream not attract the guards' attention?"
The guard was confused and looked at him as if nothing had happened to him, and shrank his head out again.
Linardi smiled and said, "This is really God's blessing.
"Although there was a huge sound due to the fact that someone had fallen and was pierced, God triggered a strong wind that night, so it did not attract the attention of other Turks."
"Wow, such a coincidence?" "So lucky!" "Praise Jesus."...
Linardi continued: "But the people below were very shocked by this. They believed that all of these were the tricks of the Turks, and they thought that everyone who went up had undoubtedly been slaughtered.
"But soon, the misunderstanding was lifted, and the Turks kept their promise to sell the city, put down the rope again, pulled the ladder up, and he wrapped the rope around a stronger defensive wall.
"The translator persuaded those who left with extreme panic to come back and sincerely encouraged everyone to climb again."
Shana shouted and said, "Why are these people so mother-in-law? They are going up later and then running away again. If I were going to do it, I would have rushed up long ago."
After saying that, she raised her chin and asked, "What about you, do you dare to get on?"
Odin snorted and said with a look of evil spirits: "What's there to dare to do?"
Shana went to provoke Danny again: "Do you dare?"
Danny looked disdainful and gave Shana a "hum" with a slanted look.
Shana mocked her brother again: "You dare not."
Zarro jumped up in anger and even knocked his chair over. He shouted: "Shana, don't underestimate people!"
Shana said with her ears, "If you dare, you dare, why are you shouting?"
Then she asked Mutelyi casually, "Can you do it?"
Mutelyi was drinking, and since he beat Tashangi Christ, he seemed to have fallen in love with drinking.
He paused when he heard this.
Shana seemed to wake up suddenly and knew that she had asked the wrong person.
She said apologetically: "Ah, I asked the wrong question, you must not be able to do it."
Mutelyi finished drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, and with a "boom", he smashed the cup heavily on the wooden table.
He said with red eyes: "Why can't I do it?"
Roger sneered, "Mutiyi, you've drunk too much."
Muttier kept his steps down, and he said proudly:
"When I killed the pirates, I was also flowing out of the sea of blood.
"What am I afraid of? At my age, killing anyone is profitable.
"If it were me, I would definitely do better than that translator.
"I can be the first to take my head up and let you fearful death escape, hiccup."
For a moment, there were troubles in the tent.
"Who is afraid of death?" "You are afraid of death!" "Who dares not? "Go?" "Go up!"
......
Roger looked at the fierce and fierce people in the tent calmly, and he thought Muttier's performance was very interesting.
He guessed that it was the atmosphere of despising the coward in the tent and the combined effect of alcohol that made the coward say such harsh words.
He thought, this is herd mentality.
It seems that during World War II, the German mustache used this herd mentality to tie the entire country and nation to his chariot.
On weekdays, there seem to be many herd behaviors that occur in groups.
Roger thought that on the battlefield, when people's emotions are in extreme states, this herd mentality seems to be more obvious.
To be continued...
