The happy life of a prodigal

The important general of Qiuning Town—— Qiuning Hou Mengzhuang was riding a horse with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, the school lieutenant next to him leaned over and said in a low voice: "General, the barbarians may not come. Is it really worth it for us to mobilize so many troops?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhuang turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Do your job well and don't ask questions."

The tone was a little cold, and the captain was a little panicked after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "It's a lowly job that talks too much!"

Meng Zhuang didn't speak any more, but said silently in his heart: This is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, I hope I can grasp it this time!

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

On a vast grassland less than a hundred kilometers away from Qiuning Town.

As the sun gradually set, darkness followed, gradually sweeping across the land.

At the end of the earth, rows of shadows that look like ants are looming, like waves, and like dots of stars.

When the camera zooms in, you will find that the rows of ants are actually knights.

Wearing armor, carrying horse bows, sabers around their waists, and some holding lances, although they were riding, they seemed to be walking quietly, without much sound.

Whether it is a person or a horse, they are all so quiet. Cooperating with the night, they seem to be silent ghosts, slowly approaching the land of Dachu.

The leader is the elite of the Qiyan Department.

wolf ride!

Of the 2000 begging Yan tribe knights, only [-] are qualified to become wolf riders, and each of them has gone through many postgraduate entrance examinations.

Regardless of equipment or quality, looking at the world, they are all first-class.

Even if all the lieutenants of Dachu were formed into a guard, it might not be able to defeat them.

Each of them is a born knight, a born warrior.

The horses are their companions, and the sabers are part of their bodies.

Every movement of them is completely natural, as if they are one with the horse and the weapon.

Just like that at this moment, 2000 people marched at the same time, but they didn't make any sound.

"General, there are still ten miles to go to the first village of Dachu, Liuzhuang."

In the darkness, there were some rustling sounds, which were the scouts in front rushing back and reporting.

The leading general of the wolf cavalry is the eldest prince of the Qiyan Department, named Qiyan Gong.

Taking a bow as a name, in the eyes of Chu people, is an incredible thing.

Especially in the eyes of literati, they feel invisible.

But in the eyes of the people of the grassland tribes, it represents a kind of arrogance.

If it weren't for enough arrogance and enough confidence in oneself, it would be impossible to use this word as one's own name anyway.

Otherwise, what will be ushered in will not be reverence, but ridicule.

Over the past thirty years, Qi Yangong has proved time and time again that he is worthy of this name!

It is precisely because of this that he became the leader of the wolf riders.

In this war that can completely determine the fate of the Qiyan tribe and even the entire grassland tribes, he and his knights are the vanguards!

Of course, to be the alpha wolf riding a wolf requires not only outstanding martial arts, but also enough strategy.

At this moment, the scout spoke again: "General, what shall we do next?"

Qi Yangong looked ahead, never leaving his eyes for a moment, and said calmly: "Bypass the village and arrive at Qiuning Town before dawn..."

"This......"

Hearing this, the people next to him were stunned for a moment, turned their heads to look at Qi Yangong, and said in a low voice: "But general, His Majesty's order is for us to be stationed in Liuzhuang, waiting for the follow-up reinforcements, to prevent Liuzhuang's people from Go to other villages and Qiuning Town to inform and block..."

"This general doesn't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Qi Yangong gave the man a cold look, "The general's order is... to go around all the villages and arrive at Qiuning Town before dawn!"

Chapter 868 Empty City

The man saw Qi Yangong's eyes, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body felt chills, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, General!"

From here to Qiuning Town is not too close, if you want to arrive before dawn, you must speed up your march.

Fortunately, each of these wolf riders has experienced many battles. They have experienced too many similar things. As soon as they received the order, they began to ride horses on the flat ground.

The speed suddenly increased a lot.

Because of the map, they don't need to deliberately send a large number of scouts.

Just avoid those villages.

As for the possibility of being seen, since it was decided to speed up the march, these things were irrelevant.

Those villages will naturally be cleaned up by the people behind.

Two thousand wolves rode straight in.

There was no warning for this march.

Even when Qi Yangong heard that he was going to attack Dachu, the time between when he actually set off was only two days.

What does two days mean?

It was just enough for the soldiers to pack up their armor, weapons and horses, and they didn't even bring much dry food.

The original plan was to support war with war.

Use the villages of the Chu people as nourishment, whether it's people... or horses.

"General, there is still half an incense stick at most, and Qiuning Town is ahead."

The rapid march that lasted four hours, even the elite among the elite, the wolf riders couldn't stand it.

They can bear it, and the war horse can't bear it either.

Even though each of them brought two horses, the war horses were still exhausted.

A ray of dawn streaked across the sky, and the sky seemed to be getting brighter, as if the sun would rise from the horizon soon.

However, everyone knows that this is the dawn before dawn and the darkest time of the day.

In a few minutes, the earth will be shrouded in darkness again.

This darkness is darker than the night...

Qi Yangong took a deep breath, focused his eyes, and said calmly: "Have a rest for half a stick of incense, and prepare to attack Qiuning Town!"

Attack Qiuning Town! ?

The wolf riding centurion next to him stopped his heart when he heard this.

Qiuning Town is said to be a town, but it is actually no different from a fortress. The defenders inside are all elite Chu troops, and there are at least 5000 people.

Relying on the advantage of the city wall, it is definitely not something they can attack with 2000 people!

Even so, everyone still responded: "Yes, General!"

This is the quality of being an elite among the elite.

Even in the face of unreasonable orders, they can resolutely execute them.

The 2000 wolf riders began to rest on the spot, and a few riders in the crowd separated. These were sentinels. If they found any movement, they would be responsible for solving it.

everything is quiet...

Qiuning Town is the fortress of the military town. There are no chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep here, and there are no villages nearby.

Therefore, at this moment, there are no animal calls, only the occasional two bird calls.

The time for half a stick of incense is coming soon.

Two thousand wolf riders, all of them got on their horses, quietly waiting for the final order.

Qiyan Gong was on the horse, looking towards Qiuning Town with the only gleam of dawn, with a solemn expression, and calmly said: "Attack!"

With an order, 2000 people moved immediately.

The fighters of the Qiyan tribe are not good at siege, especially these wolf cavalry.

However, not being good at siege doesn't mean you can't.

2000 people rode horses, and they arrived under the city wall of Qiuning Town almost instantly after such a short distance.

In the next second, about a hundred of the 2000 people rushed down the city wall at high speed, like arrows flying at high speed.

Next, the rest of the people set up their bows and shot arrows, their movements were coherent, as if they were integrated with the bow and arrow, so smooth that there was no way to make it smoother.

In the next second, two thousand arrows flew towards the city wall and fell in a parabola.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the city is already in chaos.

The sound of enemy attacks would resound throughout the entire world, and only [-]% of the first batch of guards on the city wall would remain.

It will take time for the next guards to rush up the walls again.

This time is the best time to attack the city.

The wolf rider rushed under the city wall, threw out the hook, climbed up the city wall, and opened the city gate from the inside.

Relying on the advantage of speed, the wolf rider rushed into the city, and before the defenders could react, they killed all sides...

Then look at the situation, whether to choose to stay or choose to leave.

This is the method used by the Qiyan Department to attack the city, if it fails at the beginning.

They will not stay where they are, but leave decisively, looking for the next opportunity.

Then......

It's just under normal circumstances.

This time, however, things don't seem so normal.

because......

Until the third wave of arrows fell, and there were already wolf riders climbing on the hook lock, there was still no sound in the fortress.

To be precise, they didn't hear any sound at all.

This feeling is as if Qiuning Town...is an empty city, without anyone!

Just, how is this possible?

Qi Yangong looked at everything that happened in front of him, and his expression gradually changed.

The centurions next to them instigated the wolf riders to take up their bows, preparing for the fourth wave of arrow rain.

But Qi Yangong shouted in a cold voice: "Stop!"

There was no need for the centurions to convey, the two thousand wolf riders immediately stopped work, and their movements were crisp and neat.

All they have to do is carry out the order, and it doesn't matter what the order is.

This is called order and prohibition, and it is the most basic quality of the elite among the elite.

At this moment, Qi Yangong didn't speak, and the centurions also noticed something was wrong.

This Qiuning town is really too quiet.

But they are still not sure what the other party's situation is, so they just stay where they are.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in just one or two minutes, the gate of Qiuning Town was opened.

A ride back.

It stopped in front of Qi Yangong.

"General, this is an empty city!"

In fact, he didn't need to say it, everyone present could see it.

Such a big fortress, so surrendered?

You know, Qiuning Town is the first fortress of Da Chu.

It is also the first barrier for the grassland tribes to enter the Central Plains.
