Chapter 107: The Great War is Imminent
Although Wang Ziyu had not personally experienced this kind of marching ant in that life, he had learned about this kind of marching ant since he read "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and wrote about this kind of ant. The horror of these ants lies in the fact that their saliva is poisonous, which can paralyze the limbs of the animal and make the animal lose the ability to escape. Then, because of the large number of ants, they will divide the prey, and the speed is very fast.
However, this marching ant has an important flaw, that is, it travels slowly, and the speed of these marching ants is negligible compared to the speed of humans, as long as it does not enter their range of action.
Therefore, when he saw a large area of marching ants, Wang Ziyu also instantly understood why the wolves did not launch any attack on them, so they fled. The wolves are also afraid of marching ants. These marching ants are too small, and if you really fight them, this wolf pack will not be able to bargain.
Wang Ziyu led everyone and quickly left the land of right and wrong, heading towards the boundary mountain of the Yue Clan Kingdom and Fucheng. The boundary between these two countries is at the top of the boundary mountain. After the top of the mountain, it is the boundary of Fucheng. After walking about twenty miles of mountain roads, they could reach their first target, Keda. The population of Keda is small, less than 20,000 people, and the city is relatively small. The defenders of this city numbered about three thousand.
For Wang Ziyu and them, five hundred people were more than enough to deal with these three thousand. All they want is to kill them by surprise. According to estimates, of these 3,000 soldiers, only 1,000 soldiers patrol at night, and the rest should rest in the barracks. They were to fight quickly and end the battle before dawn.
After entering the boundary mountain, they began to trim. At this time, it was not yet dark. They were just in time to prepare dinner. Soon, they were well fed and drunk. Then take turns resting. Until ten minutes of the third watch in the middle of the night, all the people got up and were in good spirits. Armed with the rest of the food, they polished their weapons, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to reach the city of Keda.
Fifty meters away from the city of Keda is the woods. This makes it easy for them to hide their figures. At this moment, on the city wall, there are several groups of soldiers patrolling. The way of patrolling is pretty much the same, walking back and forth on the city walls. However, after a few minutes of observation, Wang Ziyu found that on the Keda city wall, every dozen meters, there was a battlement, and there would be a soldier, face outward, standing there, motionless, like a statue.
If you look closely at the city gate, this city gate is relatively simple, made of ordinary wooden fences. It's just that the wood used for this wooden fence is thigh-thick. Therefore, this gate is down, and there are hundreds of catties. In that case, it should be easy for them to divide a small group of people and open the city gates. But now, they need to quickly get rid of the guards on the city walls. As long as these people are eliminated, they will quickly rush to the barracks, and at this moment, those soldiers are resting, and they can kill all these soldiers in the shortest possible time.
Wang Ziyu assessed the situation in this Keda City, and then called all the more than thirty Qingying guards who were excellent in light skills, and asked each of them to get a hidden weapon in their hands, as for the branches, leaves or stones, whatever is convenient for use. Wang Ziyu got a handful of leaves. What he is best at is using darts, and the best thing is to use local materials, and leaf darts are the best.
Then he told the others to attack the city gate as soon as they had taken the wall, and most of them entered through the gate. Then they killed all the men and soldiers on the city wall, and immediately went to the barracks. As for where the barracks are, just stand on the walls and you can see it. The important thing is that the city is too small.
After the arrangements were ready, Wang Ziyu specially called those who were good at using poison and asked them to throw laxatives into all the wells in Keda City, so that the next morning, after they went to fetch water and drank it, they all had stomach troubles, and no one had the strength to organize forces to attack them.
Everything was ready, Wang Ziyu took dozens of members of the Qingying Guard, who were masters of light martial arts, and rushed towards the city wall like a lightning speed. After only a few breaths, they came under the walls. The height of this city wall is more than three zhang high, and for Wang Ziyu, it is a matter of pulling onions on dry land. The others were also as light as swallows, and the worst was to run a few steps on the wall and go up to the city wall. When the soldiers found out, they had already rushed to the city wall.
At the same time, the remnants rushed in droves towards the city gates. Wang Ziyu and the others went up to the city wall and fired their bows left and right, and before the soldiers could figure out who it was, they were beheaded and their heads fell to the ground. But not far away, a soldier woke up and shouted: "Someone is attacking the city, someone is attacking the city!" ”
After only two shouts, a leaf dart pierced his throat and died instantly. The dozens of Qingying guards who rushed up instantly turned into two squads, and flew towards the city walls on both sides, killing soldiers when they saw them along the way. In just ten minutes, the battle on the city walls ended. The large group of men and horses has also entered the city of Keda.
The crowd gathered, and all the people swarmed towards the barracks, except for those who had used poison to go to the wells. Wang Ziyu: They saw the barracks on the city wall. There were lights in the barracks, and a few soldiers were napping, so much so that Wang Ziyu and they were killing on the city walls, and they didn't hear it. By the time they heard the voice, Wang Ziyu and the others had already descended from heaven and appeared at the gate of the barracks.
The real slaughter began. There are more than 2,000 soldiers in the barracks, and there are hundreds of tents alone, but where can they stand up to the crazy slaughter of these green forest heroes. This barracks was slaughtered by more than 400 people in less than ten minutes, leaving only one soldier for questioning.
The soldier was on his knees, his urine already in his pants, and from time to time he emitted an indescribable stench.
Without even harsh interrogation, they easily asked the residence of the main officials of Chengli, and asked about the situation of the nearest city, and then killed the soldier with a single sword. Right now, for them, it's killing, and there's no room for mercy. It must be killed until Fucheng is terrified, and they must be killed until they withdraw their 50,000 troops. Didn't they have an army of 30,000 left to guard the cities? Now they have turned out three thousand. If these soldiers, they can slaughter more than half, they will force the king of Fucheng to withdraw his troops.
They quickly found the City Lord's Mansion and the mansions of other officials, and quickly cut through the chaos and killed all the people in the City Lord's Mansion. The mansions of these officials were littered with corpses and rivers of blood. The massacre was over, and they did not move at all to the civilians. It took them less than an hour before and after that and it was over. Then they all withdrew from the city of Kedak.
The reason why they chose to withdraw from Keda was to prevent them from having martial arts masters among their people, and once they secretly attacked them, it would be difficult for them to retreat with their whole body. Although they really went crazy, they could slaughter the entire city. But that's a bit inhumane. Their goal is very clear, they just want to kill them and retreat. Now, they are going to quickly withdraw from Keda.
Once after dawn, the people here find out that the whole soldier has been killed, someone will report it to the nearby city of Ullin. The city of Ulin was slightly larger than the city of Keda, and according to the confession of the soldier who was later interrogated, there were 7,500 soldiers in the city. If they go to fight Ulin hard, it might hurt a little bit. Only after Ulin learned the news and brought troops to aid Keda, they could sneak attack Ulin and annihilate the defenders of Ulin in one fell swoop. Then he killed the rifle again and wiped out the soldiers who rushed to Keda's aid in one fell swoop.
The plan was decided, and the soldiers and horses retreated. The large army withdrew into the mountains and forests to repair, and sent two men with good light skills to squat near the official road between Ulin and Keda. The next prey, starting to slowly come into view!
