Chapter 353: Surprise Attack
It has been four months since Qin Xuan came to South Cave City!
The South Cave City is divided into two parts: the city guard army and the garrison, the city guard army is in charge of the Linghu City Lord, and the garrison is in charge of a general of the Molten Bone Realm, while Qin Xuan hangs up on an errand, eating, drinking and cultivating in the mansion every day, and does not ask about world affairs.
In the past four months, the Fox City Lord has often visited Qin Xuan's mansion, which is polite.
And the unknown general of the Bone Shedding Realm, Qin Xuan has never seen it, I heard the city lord say that the general's surname is Fang, because most of the garrisons are outside the city, so he rarely enters the South Cave City, and in the past four months, he has not entered the South Cave City once.
On this day, in a military camp outside the city, a spy hurriedly walked into the camp and presented a piece of information to the generals in the military tent.
After reading the information, the general's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly walked into the commander's tent in the center.
"Boss, there is an urgent report from the spies, there is an elite cavalry that has bypassed the Hungry Wolf Ridge and attacked the Southern Cave City, which seems to be led by a martial artist of the Bone Shedding Realm. The general said anxiously.
"Oh, where did you find out about the surprise attack on the South Cave City, and when did you find it?" asked the square-faced man sitting upright in the military tent in a deep voice.
"Boss, I found it in the Black Grass River two hours ago. The general said in a loud voice.
"Heicao River, then it's too late, I hope the city lord of the South Cave has good luck, and I heard that there is a hussar general there recently, so he should be able to hold on. The general surnamed Fang closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Boss, aren't we going to the rescue? It's the choke point between the north and the south, and once it is lost, the four princes will be furious, and when the time comesβ" the general said eagerly.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the general surnamed Fang.
"Hmph, Wu Siqiu, do you need you to give me advice? β
"Yes, Boss. The general walked out of the tent with his head down.
Watching the curtain fall, a sneer appeared on the face of the general surnamed Fang.
"I heard that the new hussar general is only at the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, but his strength is not weaker than that of the Bone Reduction Realm martial artist, since this is the case, I will see what his strength is?" The general surnamed Fang was not at all worried about the elite cavalry taking the South Cave City.
With that amount of troops, even if he really takes Nanguo City, the general surnamed Fang is sure to recapture it.
After all, he had an army of 20,000 in his hands.
And that elite cavalry, at most a thousand people.
......
The two sides of the South Cave City are facing mountains, the city wall is high, and there are only two city gates in the north and south.
Among them, the north gate is facing the enemy army, heavily guarded, and
The guards at the south gate were much more relaxed.
After all, if you want to bypass the mountains on both sides and attack the South City Gate, it will take at least half a month, and for such a long time, it has already been discovered by spies!
But what no one expected was that the second prince actually sent a thousand elite cavalry, bypassed the mountain road overnight, slept in the open air, and arrived at the south of the South Cave City in just three days.
Thirty miles away from the South City Gate, there is a small forest.
In the grove, a thousand elite cavalrymen and a thousand horses are hiding at the moment.
"Order to go down and kill all the horses without making a sound, to prevent them from being discovered by the guards of the South Cave City. Said the leader of the elite cavalry.
"Yes!"
Soon, one horse after another was slain, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the elite cavalry did not care at all.
These horses have been running for three days in a row, and they are exhausted, and even if they are kept, they will have to recuperate for a month to recover, and these horses have been injured and their stamina has been greatly reduced, and they can no longer be used as war horses, so this leader has no pity at all.
His gaze looked at the South Cave City in the distance, and he still held a sundial (an ancient instrument for calculating time) in his hand, as if he was calculating time.
"It's almost time, order everyone to change into robes, and disperse as a team to sneak near the gate of the South Cave City, remember, be sure to rush to the city gate within an hour. The cavalry leader commanded.
"Yes. β
These elite cavalrymen took off their armor one after another and put on the gray-green leather armor that had been prepared long ago.
The color of this leather armor is similar to that of tree branches and leaves, and it looks very inconspicuous in the mountains and forests, and is most suitable for stealing and hiding its whereabouts.
A thousand elite cavalry scattered into ten-person squads, a total of a hundred squads, along the woods beside the mountain road, approaching the South Cave City.
An hour passed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the south gate, and two bold guards actually lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.
At this moment, a group of warriors in gray-green leather armor took the opportunity to rush into the city, slashed the guards at the city gate, and completely opened the city gate.
The next moment, hundreds of elite cavalry rushed in.
The city guards of the South Cave City hurriedly came to intercept them, but these elite cavalry were very shrewd, they did not fight too much, and fled to the houses one by one, and soon lost their traces.
Half a day later, a bloody investigation began in the entire South Cave City, where suspicious characters were killed one by one, and thousands of residents died.
And the Linghu City Lord also hurried away
Qin Xuan's mansion.
"General Qin, something is wrong!"
As soon as the Linghu City Lord entered the backyard, he shouted urgently.
"Lord of the city, please stay, the general has an order to prohibit anyone from entering the Deadwood Courtyard. "The red-armored guards stopped the Linghu City Lord.
The Dead Wood Courtyard is the name of the courtyard where Qin Xuan lives, and it is also the core of the Spirit Gathering Array, so naturally outsiders cannot be allowed to set foot in it.
"I know, but I have something important to find General Qin, let me in quickly. Ling Fox City Lord said with an anxious face.
"Absolutely not, the general has already ordered, even if the sky falls, you can only stay outside and wait, so that the fox city lord shouts a few more times, the general will definitely be able to hear it." The red-armored guards still had a cold face.
"Okay," Ling Fox City Lord stood helplessly outside the courtyard and shouted: "General Qin, something has happened, a group of warriors of unknown origin have infiltrated the South Cave City, the city is being swept up, and there is a secret report from the military camp, there may be a strong person in the Bone Shedding Realm among these warriors, what should I do now?"
"The Bone Shedding Realm martial artist has also sneaked in?" Qin Xuan opened the wooden door of the courtyard and walked out.
In four months, his cultivation once again reached the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, but the difference was that he cultivated the Immeasurable Technique, and the true qi in his body was extremely huge, even if he was a martial artist in the late stage of the Bone Transforming Realm, the amount of true qi might not be comparable to Qin Xuan.
"Yes, once the Bone Shedding Realm martial artist is hidden, no one will be able to detect it at all, and now he is hidden in the city, the entire South Cave City, I am afraid that no one is safe. "Worry was written on Nangu City's face.
He wasn't worried about the safety of the South Cave City, this elite cavalry would not be able to take down the entire city, after all, there were 10,000 city guards and thousands of reserve sergeants.
He was worried about his own safety, these elite cavalry sneaked in, it must be to disturb the situation in South Cave City, and the best way was naturally to kill the steward of South Cave City.
"What does the Linghu City Lord mean by this," Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you have to live in Qin's mansion?"
"With this intention, now only the general can resist the powerhouse of the Bone Transformation Realm hidden in the shadows. Linghu City Lord said eagerly.
Qin Xuan shook his head, "I don't think this matter is appropriate, if the city lord lives here in Qin, that Bone Decay Realm powerhouse will definitely not make a move, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." When the time comes, I am afraid that the generals who will be eyeing the city will be targeted, once these generals are damaged, what is the use of keeping a city lord?"
"General Qin, what should I do then?" Ling Fox City Lord was also at a loss.
