At dusk, a bloodied Imperial cavalry stormed the government hall of the Dragon City Pavilion.

The guards at the gate did not dare to slack off, knowing that something big had happened, and hurriedly asked Xie Yan, the lord of a city, whose official position was the Governor's Mansion of the Central Capital, and was fully responsible for all the powers of Longge City.

"Lord Governor, the convoy has been attacked by bandits! Request reinforcements! ”

"Against these mountain bandits, this time I want to teach these mountain bandits who don't know what to do or worse!" The city lord knew the importance of the convoy to the imperial court, and when he learned that it was attacked by mountain bandits, he was furious, and learned from the cavalry that it was in the valley area not far away, and immediately sent the armed forces of various families to quell the rebellion against the mountain bandits.

Li Cunyi squatted on the side of the street with a broken bowl, watching the armed forces of thousands of families drive out of the Dragon City Pavilion with a menacing momentum, a sneer flashed on his face that was not easy to detect.

Since eight years ago, the entire empire has fallen into a spell, first a great drought, and then uprisings and riots in various places, the whole empire is full of smoke, and there are more bandits in various places, and it is not once or twice that the mountain bandits attack the grain transportation team, so the city lord of Longcheng Pavilion did not feel anything wrong.

The lord of the city sent his son to lead the team, with thousands of nobles' children armed out of the city to reinforce the attacked grain transport team, and to guard the rear himself.

Longcheng Pavilion has a population of 300,000, and the more than 10,000 garrison garrisons are indeed somewhat stretched, but they have not sent regular troops to quell the rebellion, so they do not feel anything wrong, because now Longcheng Pavilion is in the rear and is very safe.

...............

The sun has sunk below the horizon, as if the hard workers of the day are finally going back to rest. When the bright red outline finally disappeared at one end of the horizon with a thick heat, the last trace of crimson light finally disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

The night has come.

A force that had marched for a whole day could finally stop and rest.

On this day's journey, they traveled for a total of twelve hours, stopping only twice to rest for two hours each time. This kind of rapid march would be overwhelming even for the elite troops of the Empire, let alone such a force numbering thousands of men.

But I don't know for what reason, such a violent attrition, no one in this army complained or made any other sound, but endured it silently all the time. Of course, when it is time to rest, a large number of people will immediately fall down, and they will begin to fall asleep after simply eating and drinking some water, and during the night rest, scouts have already been arranged to patrol the surrounding situation.

Soon, this army really ushered in the night safely, and finally could get real rest.

Soon the barracks resounded with smug laughter and helpless whining, cursing, and so on.

Obviously, when camping at night, this unit still arranged for people to keep watch at night.

The temporary camp, and it is not a regular army camp, of course, there will be no fences, horse rejection and the like, and even the logistics and cooking are very simple.

However, the camp was soon lit up with bonfires, and there were people sitting in twos and threes nearby, some of them might even reach the size of a dozen or twenty people, and some of them were about two or three people.

These people also ate dry food and did not add to their meals.

In the midst of the steep mountains, the dreary and murderous atmosphere exuded here is so silent that the surrounding wildlife does not dare to come out and wander.

This seemingly normal situation lasted only a little while, and then everyone began to disperse, and they took torches and began to bake the ground, and even dug a shallow pit and began to bury some charcoal fires, and when the temperature was almost there, they covered it with sand, and it was not solid, but only a thin layer and the fire was extinguished. Immediately afterwards, those who could rest and sleep soon lay down on it, without sleeping bags or quilts or anything like that, and each of them wore that cloak, and the weapons were kept from being the closest to them.

Judging by the sophistication of these people, they are definitely not rookies who don't know anything, and it is very likely that the commander who led this unit did not take this unit out for field training.

Soon, the night became even colder, and the wind seemed to be much stronger.

In the blink of an eye, the scouts of this army had already changed a batch, and it turned out to be late at night.

And at this moment, about a few hundred meters away from this force, there was a black shadow surging.

This black shadow is actually a person who is also wearing a black cloak, and their number is not large, probably only about a thousand. But each person's body exudes a very unique and fierce atmosphere.

These auras make it seem that they can easily blend into the dark environment, and if there is a master who is good at lurking or scouting, they may find a strange aura here.

Unfortunately, the camp a few hundred meters away didn't seem to have a good scout, so nothing unusual was noticed.

There is no doubt that these people lurking here are naturally the special forces under Yang Qi's command.

The leader of the team is naturally the chief of the guard, Wang Wei, for the success of this operation, the purpose is to attack the armed forces of Dragon Pavilion City at night, further weaken Dragon Pavilion City, and prepare for the follow-up plan.

And the others, all drawn from various troops, are good at night battles, lurking in the dense forest and grass one by one, which is not easy to detect.

"Does everyone understand their goal?" Wang Wei finally asked.

No one answered, but everyone nodded in understanding.

So, Wang Wei didn't say anything anymore, just waved his hand lightly and made an offensive gesture.

Then in the next second, the thousands of people who were still gathered together quickly dispersed, and then formed a large encirclement, and began to slowly approach the enemy in this camp.

This time, because everyone dispersed a little, the strong bloody aura and killing intent became very weak invisibly, and it had reached the point where even if a master who was good at lurking or reconnaissance was there, if he didn't deliberately investigate and judge, he would definitely not be able to find it.

In fact, as the sky was getting darker, and soon they received a secret letter from Longge City to send troops, Wang Wei and the others had already sent people to find the location of this army.

Soon, the reconnaissance soldiers, who had been waiting in the various passages for a long time, waited for this rapidly marching armed force. They immediately went back to Wang Wei to report the news.

After hearing this, Wang Wei only hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to change the raid plan to a late-night attack.

He knew very well what would happen to a negligent army after a hasty march - it must have slept very well.

However, to Wang Wei's surprise, there are still rotating scouts at this moment, although these people are slightly negligent, but it still proves that the vigilance of this army is still there, and if it is trained for a long time, it can become a real elite force.
