Chapter 40: Night Raids and Traps

The night sky was as dark as ink, and the stars and moon were all covered by heavy dark clouds, not emitting a trace of light, so the beacon fire on Shuojing City was particularly dazzling.

The walls of the city were lined with armor, the flames were blazing, and there were patrols checking back and forth.

Even at night, Fang Guo's precautions still did not relax at all!

This scene fell into O'Brien's eyes, and he couldn't help but frown, and after a day of fierce fighting, his understanding of the other country gradually deepened.

Fang Guo's combat power, morale and discipline are very strong, and the Ten Nations Alliance will never be Fang Guo's opponent if it pulls out any country alone!

O'Brien was very jealous of this, so he was even more eager to destroy the huge threat of Fang Guo!

"Generalissimo, Fang Guo's garrison is very tight, and there is hardly any opportunity to take advantage of it, let's give up the plan of night attack." Someone persuaded him.

"Nope! Contrary! ”

O'Brien sneered: "Seeing Fang Guo's strict protection, I really put my mind at ease and became more determined to attack at night!" ”

"Uh... Why? "A lot of people are puzzled.

"If there are only three or five soldiers on the city wall now, and the garrison is very loose, I will immediately cancel tonight's night raid, because it will look like a trap!

But seeing the strict posture of the Fang army, almost all the troops were sent to guard the city, I can expect that there will not be any traps, and the fact that there are so many guards just reflects that the Fang army is very afraid of our coalition army! ”

O'Brien couldn't help but smile dangerously and said, "They are afraid that we will take advantage of the night to raid, then we will have a vigorous night attack!" ”

"But in this case, our casualties will also be very heavy!"

"Hmph, what's the point of a few dead people?"

O'Brien said disdainfully: "There are tens of thousands of people in my coalition army, and Fang Guo only has more than a thousand remnants left, even if the five of us fight him, we can consume Fang Guo alive!"

As long as the big threat of Fang Guo is destroyed, the entire northwest region will belong to me in the future, and when the time comes, I will have endless wealth and be able to create another 100,000 elite soldiers, what is this loss! ”

Many soldiers couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, and they all showed frightened expressions.

It seems that O'Brien is not only cruel to his enemies, but also to his own men!

This coalition commander doesn't see them as human beings at all, but as chess pieces, chess pieces that can be discarded at any time, he never cares about the lives of the chess pieces, what he wants is endless victory and power!

But now, the military power of the Ten Kingdoms is all in the hands of O'Brien, and although many soldiers are dissatisfied with him in their hearts, no one dares to resist his orders.

As soon as O'Brien's order for a night attack was delivered, the coalition soldiers quickly assembled and hid around Shuojing City in the dim darkness of the night.

Until 1 o'clock in the morning, when the soldiers defending the city of Fang Guo were sleepy, O'Brien's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he finally gave the order to siege the city.

"Charge! Give me the city of Shuojing at night! ”

The icy shout was like thunder exploding in the air.

"Kill—"

The coalition forces began to attack the city as if a strong wind were blowing.

O'Brien personally went into battle, leading the men and horses to rush to the foot of Shuojing City, and it seemed that he was really determined to destroy Fang Guo tonight.

His Majesty had already ordered the city to be garrisoned, so the Fang army had already been prepared, and they quickly recovered from their sleepiness and began to desperately throw stones and arrows against the frenzied coalition soldiers.

A battle that is even more tragic than the day breaks out quickly at night!

The coalition attack went smoothly to O'Brien's surprise, and in less than an hour, the Fang army defending the city was retreating, and more and more coalition soldiers rushed to Shuo Jingcheng!

O'Brien watched this scene calmly, not carried away by the victory in front of him, he felt that the defeat of the Fang army was too fast, and the speed was a little strange.

What's going on? Could it be because after a whole day of bloody battles, the Fang army was tired and exhausted, or was there some conspiracy hidden here......

"Generalissimo Qiqi, our coalition army has captured Shuojing City and killed nearly five hundred enemies!"

At this time, a piece of good news of victory instantly dispelled all O'Brien's doubts!

"Good!"

O'Brien was overjoyed, the remaining army of the Fang Kingdom was only about a thousand people, and just removed another five hundred, and now there are at most eight hundred people left, what can you do with such a small number of troops?!

His doubts suddenly subsided.

Fang Fan!

Even the royal city of your Fang Kingdom belongs to me, even if you have some kind of scheming, what can you do?

"Bang-"

The gate of Shuojing City opened, and O'Brien rode his war horse into the city first, and thousands of coalition soldiers followed closely and stepped into the royal city of Fang Kingdom together.

"Warriors of the coalition army, follow me to hunt down the remnants of the Fang country and capture the king of the Fang country alive!" O'Brien shouted, wanting to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, take advantage of the victory to annihilate the Fang army, and not give the Fang country any chance to make a comeback.

O'Brien led the most elite five thousand iron armor of the coalition army, and quickly chased along the direction of the retreat of the Fang army, until he reached the Fang King's Palace, only to find the trace of the defeated Fang army.

"Finally caught up with you!!"

O'Brien licked his lips excitedly, staring at Fang Fan, who was sitting alone on the jade steps, as if he had seen the prey he had been happy for a long time.

But in the next moment, he was slightly stunned, and found that there was no fear and panic on Fang Fan's face at this moment, but an indescribable calmness and indifference.

Those dark eyes swelled with an icy chill, which made O'Brien feel a little chilly.

"You're finally here!!"

The corners of Fang Fan's mouth outlined a dangerous arc, pulled out the long knife that had been sharpened all night, and looked indifferently at O'Brien and the tens of thousands of allied troops!

"Not good! Hurry back! ”

O'Brien finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly led the army to leave the palace.

"Bang!"

At the same time, the gate of the Nine Dao Palaces suddenly closed, and the five hundred super power legions that had already been ambushed poured out of the main hall, standing in a neat formation beside Fang Fan, the edge of the sword piercing the coalition soldiers unable to open their eyes.

What frightened O'Brien the most was the countless holes in the walls around him, each the size of an egg, just enough to hold an arrow, like a machine gun hole in a bunker.

Sharp iron arrows poked out of the holes, shining with an icy cold glow, and many coalition soldiers felt a little numb when they saw these steel arrows.

During the daytime siege, they had tasted the terrifying power of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow, and now so many iron arrows were aimed at them through the holes in the surrounding walls, they had almost become live targets, and they had nowhere to hide.

"Oh no, it's a trap, we've fallen for it!" One of the coalition adjutants exclaimed.

"Panic what! Pitfall? What about traps? ”

Although O'Brien's face was a little ugly, his expression was still very calm, and he sneered: "Fang Guo has only these hundreds of people left now, we have five thousand elite soldiers, Fang Guo does not have the strength to encircle and annihilate us here, but we can plan and destroy them here in one go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he frowned and looked at Fang Fan not far away: "I admit that your strategy of luring the enemy is very good, you actually deceived me, but I'm sorry, you will still die here!" ”

"Wrong!"

Fang Fan stood up calmly, raised the sharp long knife, stared at O'Brien indifferently, and said slowly: "You will be the one who dies!" ”
