Chapter 12: Night Raid

After resting, it was not until it was completely dark that Xiao Yuan gave the order to set off again, and entered the dark passage behind the waterfall with five hundred soldiers.

In the dark, after walking for more than an hour, the group finally arrived at the bottom of the dry well.

At this time, Xiao Yuan had already stopped, and because he couldn't see it, Peng Shuang behind him accidentally bumped into him, and at the same time couldn't help asking, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Shh Xiao Yuan said in a low voice: "Now that we are in the Moon City, we are all silent, so as not to alarm the patrolling ghost clan soldiers." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers in the darkness all stopped, although they couldn't see their fingers, they still subconsciously looked left and right, and then held their breath and concentrated.

Peng Shuang's eyes lit up, and he also lowered his voice and said, "You can really come in, how do you act now?" ”

"I'll go up and see what is going on first." Xiao Yuan said a word, and then groped to remove the rope from his waist, and after two twists around it, he threw it up.

The rope had a hook, and after it was thrown up, it also made a soft sound, Xiao Yuan dragged it with his hand, and seeing that it had been hooked to the edge of the well, he also began to climb up along the rope.

His speed was very fast, he dragged the rope with both hands, kicked the wall of the well under his feet, and only a few times, he had climbed to the mouth of the well, and then supported the edge of the well with both hands, and with a fierce force, the person also jumped up.

After coming up, he was not in a hurry, but carefully inspected the entire temple, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned to the well and called softly to the well: "Peng Shuang......"

Before, after Xiao Yuan went up, there was no movement for half a day, Peng Shuang below had already waited impatiently, at this time when he heard the light call, he was also immediately shocked, and then did not use a rope, but kicked on the wall of the well, his body jumped up in the air, and under three or two feet, the person had jumped out of the dry well.

After he came out, he also took off the rope he had prepared before from his waist, and then threw it to the bottom of the well, and began to assist the soldiers below to climb up one by one with Xiao Yuan.

Ordinary soldiers, without the skills of the two of them, even if there are two people pulling on it, it will take a little time to climb up, and after a few soldiers come up, Xiao Yuan immediately lowered his voice and ordered: "You few, go to the gate and watch, if there is anything abnormal, come back immediately." ”

"Understood." Several soldiers answered, and now they have arrived in Yuecheng, which can be said to be deep behind enemy lines, and everyone's nerves are also tense.

In this way, five hundred soldiers climbed up from the dry well one by one, and after everyone arrived, a long time had passed, and at this time, it was just the second half of the night.

Xiao Yuan looked up at the sky, there was no bright moon in the sky, and today's night was just right for a night attack.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately waved his hand.

Five hundred armor soldiers, with cats on their waists, quietly walked out of the abandoned temple.

At this time, on the streets of Moon City, due to the second half of the night, there was not a single pedestrian at all, and some, it was just ghost soldiers who patrolled back and forth every once in a while.

On one street, five hundred armor soldiers had already hidden behind various houses, and did not continue to advance, because not far ahead, a group of ghost soldiers was walking unhurriedly.

There were six of these ghost soldiers, divided into two rows, a row of three, each with a spear in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Peng Shuang, who was behind Xiao Yuan, also asked in a low voice, "It'll be okay when they leave, right?" ”

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he recalled in his mind the gap and interval between the patrols of each team of ghost clan soldiers, and then shook his head slightly: "No, this team of ghost troops must be solved, otherwise, we won't be able to go to the city gate." ”

After speaking, he said: "If you kill it directly, it will definitely alarm the other ghost army......"

Speaking of this, he also turned his head to look at Peng Shuang, and said in a low voice: "You and me, are you sure?" ”

Peng Shuang tilted his head and looked at the ghost army that was still in sight, and said directly: "The three on the right, give them to me." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yuan was also neat, as soon as he finished speaking, he began to slowly pull out the war knife on his waist, and he had already stood up.

Then, he pressed his hand against the other soldiers behind him, signaling everyone to hide and not move, while he himself and Peng Shuangqing lurked silently.

Seeing this, the other hidden soldiers did not dare to come out, and they all stared at Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang with wide eyes, so nervous that they couldn't do it.

The two of them separated from each other, barely making a sound, and the people had quietly reached the back of the group of ghost soldiers.

The six ghost soldiers continued to walk forward, not looking around at all, and they all looked relaxed, as if they were chatting about something.

One of them said, "Huh? Don't say it, this Central Plains woman is a water spirit, and her skin can pinch out water...... (Oni)"

As a result, before he finished speaking, someone covered his mouth from behind, and the cold sharp weapon also penetrated his chest directly from the back.

The tip of the knife was dripping blood, and although the ghost soldier's body struggled, he couldn't make a sound at all.

After silently solving one person behind his back, Xiao Yuan looked at Peng Shuang's side, and the same was true.

At this time, the ghost clan soldiers in front did not look back, so they didn't know that their companions behind them were dead, and they were still walking forward, and at the same time, one of them also began to talk: "Yes, in Yuecheng alone, there are so many young and beautiful women, and those big cities in the Central Plains behind, I don't know how many there are, and the general is not quick to order, let us capture Liucheng......"

It's another knife covering his mouth, but this time, it's directly wiping his neck!

"Huh? Why don't you talk anymore? The ghost soldier at the front asked, and then turned around.

But as soon as he turned around, before he could react, Xiao Yuan had already swung his sword horizontally, slashing it fiercely, and directly swept away his head.

Blood sprayed from his neck, and his head fell to the ground.

At this moment, the six ghost armies have all been resolved, and while Xiao Yuan exhaled lightly, he also gestured to his own soldiers.

The crowd understood, and immediately ran over a few soldiers and began to drag the corpses on the street and left.

Because it was dark night, the bloodstains on the ground were not easy to find, so after simply disposing of the corpse, Xiao Yuan quietly took five hundred armor soldiers to lurk towards the city gate.

Along the way, they encountered several waves of patrol soldiers, but because a group of ghost troops had been resolved, there was enough gap between them, which was enough for Xiao Yuan and them to take advantage of the patrol to reach the city pass.

On the defense of Yuecheng City, every two steps, there are ghost armies standing, and the torches are bright.

Once here, if you want to open the city gate from the inside, you have to fight head-on.

Xiao Yuan immediately no longer hid his tracks, but straightened up directly, and pulled out his sword with a stab.

Hearing the movement, a ghost soldier at the city gate immediately shouted, "What person! ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Xiao Yuan didn't say a word, and walked forward menacingly, pointing his war knife forward.
