Volume 2: Youxue Mingchan Chapter 285: Night Raid
After the first wave of the battle ended, the cloud scorpion did not attack immediately, and the atmosphere that cooled down was silent for several days. It wasn't until the fourth day after the war that a new round of attacks began, however, this time Yun Scorpion's attack was still not the four two legions in his hands, but some non-state organizations, those mercenaries who had been on missions for a long time!
Such organizations, which usually know no borders, are represented by them as long as there is a place of trade. Even some countries will set up mercenary warbands and sell them to other countries as a weapon of war. Of course, this kind of mercenary wargroup has gained much more benefits than other mercenaries, after all, on the battlefield, they can be said to be really exchanging their lives for wealth.
Chu Haoyun and Night Seventeen had already returned to Yinxue Cold City, and since they couldn't go to the front line to participate in the battle, they had to come back to assist Zhong Weiqing. During this period, Chu Haoyun visited Mo Qiulan once, she was also idle in the courtyard where the Duanmu Fengchen brothers and sisters were retreating, and so far, Duanmu Fengchen and the two had no signs of leaving the customs, which caused the dissatisfaction of the night seventeen.
The grain road of Yinxue Cold City was robbed, and Zhong Weiqing sent some sergeants to increase the protection of the escort. And began to check for anything suspicious in the cold city, Mo Yuanshan was very concerned about the sudden appearance of the thief group. After all, in the past, every time the year passed, Xingyue would have the thieves of the two countries emerge and be killed. At this time, if they stab them from the rear again, it would undoubtedly make the situation in Silver Snow Cold City even worse.
The dozens of streets in the north and south gates of the Silver Snow Cold City have basically been emptied, and in this silent atmosphere, the north and south cities are slightly dead. Night fell, black clouds covered the moon, and the second wave of the cloud scorpion's offensive also came.
The attack was carried out in the middle of the night, and the main force was some of the mercenaries who were the best at stealing chickens and dogs.
At night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, outside the south city wall in the direction of Xingyue, dozens of black shadows are approaching the city gate at an incredible high speed. These people can be described as a group of dark night elites, they are agile, and they can climb the city wall with their bare hands without using any tools.
This is an extremely difficult technical job to master, and the 100-meter wall of Silver Snow Cold City, which is full of cold air, is definitely a huge challenge for them.
People die for money, birds die for food, they resist the cold and quietly climb the city wall. With the blessing of special concealment methods, a dozen sentinels quietly approached the place.
The person who is the leader, as soon as the sign language moves, everyone will do it together, or cover their mouths and assassinate, or directly behead. In a silent voice, the checkpoint was removed. Then, they gently laid the body away, and shed their black clothes, revealing the standard armor of the Qiulan Iron Cavalry, which served as a sentry here.
It was almost as late as the middle of the moon that they came to the noose room and used the same sneak attack to kill the guards on duty. Then open the city gates. They grasped the timing very well, and there were many people on the periphery who took advantage of the wind and evaded the soldiers who were patrolling, and it was also the time of the shift change.
Most people wanted to give it a try, but they didn't expect it to be successful. The thought of the wealth that their men had promised in the morning almost fainted with excitement.
Dozens of miles away, groups of thieves disguised as caravans and paupers looked from afar and noticed that the city gates were open. The leader said excitedly: "The plan is successful, brothers, rush me! ”
"Roar!" A group of people tore off their disguises, revealing the outfit of a group of thieves, and rushed out from several directions, turning into several torrents, and converging towards Silver Snow Cold City. According to rough estimates, there are no less than seventy or eighty thousand people in this group, and the leader is even the peak of the Void Spirit Realm.
"Rush! As long as we enter the city, relying on the terrain and the cover of those city citizens, we can turn the Silver Snow Cold City upside down. Another leader shouted and rode his horse.
In order to cooperate with their surprise attack from the city gate, the mercenaries who had already infiltrated also began to cause chaos around the city gate, and by the time the defenders noticed it, the bandits were already approaching. It took time for the huge city gate to close, and the mercenaries disrupted most of the arrangement, and when they seized control of the agency room again, the first wave of thieves had already rushed to the gate, and before the gate was closed, the thieves frantically poured in.
As the first wave of thieves entered the city gates, they no longer hid their whereabouts, and each roared like a pack of hungry wolves, waving the weapons in their hands and roaring into the city!
With a gap, the front side of the southern city was out of control, and a large number of thieves relayed and converged into the city. Horses galloped, and amid the whistling sound, the complex continued to move back from both sides.
However, the first group of thieves to enter the city found that the city was not at all what they imagined, and there were no enemies to stop them, except for some soldiers patrolling the city walls who were fighting fiercely with the mercenaries, and the streets of Siye were empty, and the dead silence was terrible.
Although they were different, they couldn't stop at this time, and the crowd behind them was surging, and stopping was only the result of being trampled to death by countless horses' hooves. I had to keep my head stuffy and run wildly along the way. Soon they realized that something was wrong, and archers and spearmen began to attack them on the rooftops of the surrounding streets. Looking at their calm posture, it was as if they had known that they were coming, and some people even saw the military sleeping bags that someone had placed on the roof, and those guys were resting on them?
The archers and spearmen almost didn't aim, and they threw their spears and arrows at random, without the slightest tension of being raided, and some were just a kind of joy of waiting for the rabbit.
These bands of thieves can be regarded as light cavalry, and they march extremely fast. Generally speaking, when the city is destroyed, the most important thing for the defending side must be to do everything possible to regain control of the city gate at any cost, so as to gain an advantage in battle, and the purpose of the first wave of thieves is to fight this army, and it is necessary to ensure that the city gate is not lost.
However, the first wave of thieves ran along the main road for a long time, and except for the spearmen and archers on the roofs on both sides, Leng did not see anyone else.
Braving the rain of arrows all the way, the hot mood of the thieves has long subsided, and no one dares to shout anymore. Clanging sparks fly, comrades and horses shot by arrows fall to the ground, and then they are trampled into meat sauce by the army behind them. This kind of situation where they can only be beaten and can't fight back really makes them too angry, how can they still be in the mood to shout?
After galloping for a while, the follow-up thieves were almost all pouring in, and the front thieves had already rushed through more than a dozen blocks, and the lights of the buildings could already be seen in the field of vision. Moreover, on the main road at the beginning of the lights, a huge command tent was seen, which was brightly lit, and through the reflection of shadows, it could be seen that it seemed to be a temporary command post.
From this, it was found that everyone in the thief group broke out with passion again, roaring loudly, raising the weapons in their hands, and running wildly towards the target. The leader of the thieves was overjoyed and roared angrily: "Brothers, a command post in Xingyue in front, rush in and kill!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the camp. The tent collapsed under their onslaught. When they galloped for a few meters, they found that the camp tent was just a curtain, and it was only reflected by the lights behind them that they had that sense of déjà vu. Behind the face, a group of heavy cavalry, under the leadership of Zhong Weiqing, was already ready to go.
"Kill!" When those guys were still unknown, Zhong Weiqing raised the long sword in his hand and issued the first clear command since the city gate was broken.
