Chapter 87: The Fierce Battle in the Night (1)
The night was very calm, the bright moonlight gently sprinkled a white silver light, the huge outline of the city in the distance gradually blurred in the darkness, the flickering light points looked particularly beautiful, like the elves in the night, smart and active.
Columns of well-dressed soldiers were patrolling earnestly, and the vicinity of the gate was carefully guarded by the soldiers, and two horses were set up in front of the door to prevent the enemy's impact.
This is standard in wartime camps, but in the proximity to the capital, such a defense seems a little too cautious!
Therefore, although the soldiers seemed to be in good spirits, they did not feel any nervousness, and they all seemed very relaxed.
After the young woman put on her armor, she came out on time to inspect, and saw that the soldiers were very relaxed along the way, and she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart.
"Cheer up, the more you feel safe, the more dangerous it is!"
"Yes, Young Commander!"
The soldiers gathered their bellies and chests in unison, and replied in a loud voice.
The female general nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied in her heart, this is what an elite army should look like!
Their main task along the way is to escort this felony back to the capital, and in order to catch this felon, they have suffered heavy losses, and they also found that this felony has an unknown number of powerful accomplices, and the other party may come directly to rob the prisoner!
Therefore, when they came back from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, their troops were divided into three routes, and a prisoner was escorted on each way, and the route that could not be taken was used to distract the other party, so that the other party had no way to distinguish the true from the fake, thus increasing the difficulty of their prisoner robbery!
This branch led by Gu Xirou is one of them, they set off a month ago, they have walked through mountains and rivers for a month, and today they have finally reached the foot of the capital, as long as they spend this night smoothly, they can smoothly bring the prisoners back to the city!
And the safest place is actually the most dangerous place, the soldiers have long been exhausted from trekking through mountains and rivers all the way, and now that the capital is in front of them, they are bound to slack off, and this makes her feel uneasy!
At this time, the other party is very likely to have tested or even attacked the other two roads, and may have judged that their team of men and horses is the one who really escorts the prisoners, and now that it is very close to the royal city, the opponent's target will become relatively easy to capture, unlike in the wilderness, it is very difficult for the other party to find people!
Gu Xirou was almost certain that they were being targeted now!
If the other side wants to attack, then their implementation of the plan they have made can come in handy!
"Be smart, spend tonight safely, you can all take a vacation tomorrow!"
Everywhere she went, she had to tell the soldiers loudly, perhaps because of her reminder, the soldiers' spirits had changed a little!
It's just that when passing by the prisoner's cage in the middle, Gu Xirou found that the other party seemed to be scribbling on the ground, and she didn't know what she was doing.
So she stopped, ready to take a closer look!
"Coming?"
The prisoner in the cage apparently spotted her, and said without raising his head, as if he were greeting an old friend.
"Are you studying the defense map of our camp?"
Gu Xirou glanced at it, and she could already see what he had drawn on the ground, this was their garrison map tonight, he drew it very carefully, basically so meticulous that the position of each sentry was marked!
"A total of 27 tents, 232 soldiers, 42 bows and arrows, 22 crossbows, more than 300 horses, 16 secret sentry ......"
The prisoner looked up at her with a smile and slapped lightly on the ground as he said what he knew.
Gu Xirou kept watching his movements, and saw a trace of cunning flashing in his eyes, and her heart became slightly vigilant.
"It's a good estimate, but if you want to break through my camp, I'm afraid it's not easy!"
Gu Xirou's hand had already been placed on the horizontal knife, and the momentum on the other party's body had changed a lot, and the surrounding demonic qi seemed to be surging, which made her feel a little uneasy!
"Hehe, Miss Gu Jiasan, your skills are indeed good, but compared to me, you are still a little immature!"
The prisoner looked up at the cage in which he was kept, and then shook the handcuffs and leg cuffs on his hands and feet, and the chains made a crisp sound, and the atmosphere around him became more and more tense!
Gu Xirou suddenly had an idea, and then saw a black shadow rushing out of the ground!
With two bangs, the iron prison exploded in an instant!
"Gopher Shi Motian!"
"Jie Ji, the third lady of the Gu family has good eyesight!"
Shi Motian was thin and small, looking like a monkey, on all fours, and he got into the ground in a few strokes!
"Guards, catch them!"
Gu Xirou had already pulled out the sword in her hand and was about to rush towards the prisoner in the cage whose chains had been broken!
This prisoner was captured by them with great effort and great cost, and if he escaped here, it would be almost impossible to catch him in the future!
"Hehe, Miss Gu Jiasan, our boss still has something to do, so I won't play with you!"
The other party had a smile on his face all the time, and seemed to be indifferent to Gu Xirou's rush over, and just when Gu Xirou was about to arrive, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, rushed down at a rapid speed, and flew into the sky after grabbing the prisoner!
"Flying Bat Anwenshi!"
Gu Xirou looked up, the cold in her eyes was pressing, the two masters of the other party had already appeared, so wouldn't their other members also appear?
Sure enough, at this moment, there were already bursts of killing shouts outside! The torches around became brighter, and figures jumping and flashing in the firelight kept appearing around!
"Hmph, if you want to run, it's not that simple!"
Gu Xirou snorted coldly, and with a light tap of her toes, she was ready to take off into the air and chase down the two people in the sky!
An Wenshi calls himself a flying bat, his light skills are indeed excellent, if it were normal, Gu Xirou would definitely not try to chase him, because the speed gap between the two sides is too big, she can't catch up!
But now he still has a person, a burly strong man, so he can't fly fast!
"Jiji, Miss Gu San, have you forgotten me?"
The figure flying out of the ground stepped forward and suddenly attacked Gu Xirou, Gu Xirou knew that he was underground, and when she saw him obstructing him, she had to transfer the target to him!
"Crossbow team, shoot the two people in the sky down for me!"
It's just that she obviously won't let go of those two people in the sky so easily!
