Chapter 8: Midnight Raid

Because of the urgency of time, Zhou Yunfeng and Ma Lin did not have time to talk about their brotherhood, and Ma Lin left and rushed back to Yuanyang City after finishing the matter.

"Come on, go and call the other commanders of the four battalions and the two deputy commanders of the wolf cavalry battalion!" Zhou Yunfeng ordered.

Not long after, the five commanders and two deputy commanders of the Fengyun Mercenary Regiment, plus Zhou Yunlong's three captains, all gathered in a simple tent, and of course, Zhou Yunfeng, the commander of this army, was also among them.

"Everyone, the details of Yuanyang City have arrived, I will tell you about it now, and deploy the combat mission!" Zhou Yunfeng looked at everyone and said lightly.

There are nearly ten large and small families in Yuanyang City, but there are only three families that can really be on the table, that is, the Wu family, the Xu family, and the He family, and among them, the He family is the most powerful, and the city lord of Yuanyang City is the He family.

Although the strength of the He family is nothing on the mainland, it is only a third-rate family, but in a border city like Yuanyang City, it is indeed the existence of a hegemon, and the Wu family and the Xu family are not even a third-rate family.

According to the news from the Dragon Tooth Squad, there are a total of five Martial Emperors in the He family, and the current head of the family, He Jun, is a third-turn Martial Emperor powerhouse, and He Jun is also the city lord of Yuanyang City.

In addition to He Jun, the He family also has a first-turn martial emperor and a second-turn martial emperor, and the remaining two are the ancestors of the He family, and both ancestors are sixth-turn martial emperors, one of them is said to have been in retreat to impact the seventh-turn martial emperor.

With such strength, the He family is not too weak among third-rate families, at least they can stand in the middle.

In addition to the He family, the Xu family and the Wu family are not as rumored on the surface, there is no Martial Emperor in charge, according to the news from the ninth squad of the Dragon Tooth, both of them have hidden Martial Emperor powerhouses, but they are only in the early stage of the Martial Emperor, so they dare not compete with the He family.

There are 20,000 city guards in Yuanyang City, and the commander is He Chong, the first-turn martial emperor of the He family, who is He Jun's sibling and extremely loyal to He Jun.

"You all know the situation! Now I'll talk about the battle deployment!" Zhou Yunfeng continued after finishing the situation in Yuanyang City.

"Because as soon as the news of the siege of the Snake King City spread, the nearby cities were vigilant, so He Chong did not live in the City Lord's Mansion at night, that is, He Mansion, but lived in the military camp. But their vigilance is not enough, and there is no pressure on the inspection of entering and leaving the city, so this is our opportunity!" Zhou Yunfeng analyzed.

"Is the third brother planning to sneak attack?" Zhou Yunlong's eyes lit up and he said.

"That's right! It's a sneak attack!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"I'll assign a combat mission now!"

"The Fengyun Mercenary Regiment assault battalion, set off in half an hour, leave the mount, change into civilian clothes, sneak into Yuanyang City from the four gates in batches, and raid the west gate at midnight tonight (that is, twelve o'clock in the evening), open the city gate to welcome the army into the city!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

"Yes!" Zhou Yunhu got up and hugged his fists.

"Although the wolf cavalry has been launched, but there are not many people who know the details, in order to hide their strength, this time the wolf cavalry battalion will not participate, there are five battalions of five wolf cavalry squads is enough! So at the same time as the army set off, Guan Ping and Guyue led the wolf cavalry battalion to bypass Yuanyang City and march towards Yuanchang City, pay attention to the concealment on the road, and after arriving at the designated place, they will camp and wait for the army!" Zhou Yunfeng ordered.

"Yes!" Guan Ping and Gu Yue hurriedly got up and said.

Although they all wanted to participate in the first battle of the siege, since Zhou Yunfeng had other plans, they could only press their restless hearts and carry out Zhou Yunfeng's orders.

"The rest of the people will come with me into the city through the West Gate!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, after entering the city, quickly seize the four gates, and control the city guard barracks, I don't want the news of Yuanyang City to be breached too quickly!" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice.

"Whoever tries to break into the gates, kill!"

"Yes!"

"Second brother, you must be careful, and you have to take care of the fourth brother!" Zhou Yunfeng advised.

At this time, the mercenaries of the assault battalion had all taken off their armor, and they did not put on their battle robes, but wore ordinary clothes, and all of them held their weapons in their hands or carried them on their backs, even Zhou Yunhu.

They only need to infiltrate the city as mercenaries, and if the weapons are all placed in the Qiankun Ring, then such mercenaries are too rich, which is unreasonable and will arouse suspicion.

"Second brother, you must take good care of the fourth brother! Although he has also killed people and experienced a lot of bloodshed, after all, he has never participated in the big war, so he can't let him have an accident!" Zhou Yunlong also admonished.

Zhou Yuntian can grow into a strong martial king, and he has also completed the graduation task of Tianyun War Martial Academy, his strength, experience and temperament are beyond doubt, but as the eldest of all the brothers, Zhou Yunlong still has to remind Zhou Yunhu to protect Zhou Yuntian.

And Zhou Yunfeng reminded that not only because he is the commander of this army, but also because he is also Zhou Yuntian's third brother and the strongest among the four brothers, so he has the responsibility to protect the safety of all brothers.

"Don't worry, my eldest brother, my grand master, I will definitely take care of the fourth brother!

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I'm not a child, I'm a second-turn martial king powerhouse, okay?" Zhou Yuntian, who had a spear on his back, said aggrievedly.

"Okay! You are a strong martial king! You don't need to take care of it! Remember not to act without permission after entering the city, you must listen to the command of the second brother!

From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yuntian was suppressed by his ghostly sister Zhou Yunshan, so he has been working hard to cultivate, wanting to become a strong man as soon as possible and stay away from Zhou Yunshan. Now Zhou Yuntian has finally succeeded, he has now become a martial king powerhouse, and graduated from the Tianyun War Martial Arts Academy and returned to the family, while Zhou Yunshan is still in the academy.

Now he is fighting with the army, and he not only has the joy of the bird getting out of the cage in his heart, but also the pride of the man fighting on the battlefield and throwing his head and spilling his blood.

It was precisely because he saw the burning look in Zhou Yuntian's eyes that Zhou Yunfeng was worried that he would act on a whim during the mission, so he specially reminded him.

"Third brother!" Zhou Yuntian nodded.

"Okay, second brother, let's go! It's up to you tonight!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

"Don't worry, your second brother is still at ease?" Zhou Yunhu said confidently.

"Brothers of the assault battalion, let's go!" Zhou Yunhu said loudly.

"Third brother, you have to help me take care of the Red Emperor!" Zhou Yunhu took two steps, suddenly stopped and turned his head.

"You don't have to worry about this! You must know that the Red Emperor is not only your contract demonic beast, but also the wolf rider of the Fengyun mercenary group!" Zhou Yunfeng said with a smile

As Zhou Yunfeng expected, although Yuanyang City was vigilant, it was not vigilant enough, although the inventory at the city gate was stricter than before, it was not so difficult to pass, so Zhou Yunhu and the others, who were originally mercenary groups, entered Yuanyang City very smoothly.

After nightfall, Zhou Yunfeng ordered the whole army to slowly approach Yuanyang City, and the wolf cavalry battalion also divided two ways with the army at this time, bypassing Yuanyang City and rushing towards Yuanchang City.

After nightfall, the pedestrians on the streets of Yuanyang City slowly became scarce.

The four gates were closed soon after nightfall, and after the gates were closed, there were fewer people on the streets, and it was difficult to find people on the streets at the back.

When there was still a quarter of an hour before midnight, more than a dozen inns in Yuanyang City jumped out from the inside almost at the same time, and quickly approached the west gate, gathering in an alley five hundred meters away from the gate, more than one hundred and eighty people.

"Report to the commander, a battalion is here!"

"Report to the commander, the second battalion is here!"

"Zhilu said!" It was none other than Zhou Yunhu, the commander of the assault battalion, who spoke.

It was almost midnight, and midnight was the time set by Zhou Yunfeng to launch an attack, and at this time, more than 100 people in the assault battalion had already taken off their civilian clothes, and all of them put on the robes of the assault battalion, black power suits, and a hideous blood-colored tiger head on his chest.

"Second brother, when are we going to do it!" Zhou Yuntian, who was standing next to Zhou Yunhu, tightened the spear in his hand and asked a little impatiently.

"Look at you excitedly!" Zhou Yunhu glanced at Zhou Yuntian, shook his head and smiled.

"Brothers, you must be quick to do it later, I don't need to live, I need speed! The regiment commander has given this task to our assault battalion, and let our assault battalion win this first credit, that is a trust in us! This commander hopes that you will not lose the prestige of the assault battalion!" Zhou Yunhu turned to look at the hundred people and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Zhou Yunhu shouted.

"Well, who?" asked the soldier guarding the gate, noticing movement in the night.

"The one who wants your life!" a murderous voice came from the shadows.

"What?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

As soon as that voice fell, there were countless sounds of breaking wind, and a hundred people instantly appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers defending the city.

"Oh no! Someone is attacking the city gates!"

"Brothers, someone is attacking the city gates, kill them!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The originally silent street suddenly turned into a hustle and bustle, and for a while, the sound of fighting, shouting and screaming filled Ximen Street.

The assault battalion rushed to the city gate, and the two battalions were separated in an instant, leaving all the way to solve the defenders at the city gate and the soldiers resting in the barracks on both sides, rushing all the way to the city gate to solve the defenders above.

Although the defenders of Ximen had 300 people, they were vulnerable in the eyes of the assault battalion, and many soldiers lost their lives in their sleep
