The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 868

[Chapter 868 Empty City]

When the man saw Qi Yan Gong’s eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt a chill all over his body and hurriedly replied: “Yes, General!”

It’s not that close to Qiuning Town from here, so I thought If you want to arrive before dawn, you must speed up your march.

Fortunately, each of these wolf riders are experienced in 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 did not need to deliberately send out a large number of scouts.

Just avoid those villages.

As for the possibility of being seen, now that we have decided to speed up our march, these are irrelevant matters.

Those villages will naturally be taken care of by the people behind them.

Two thousand wolf cavalry drove straight in.

There was no warning for this march.

Even when Qi Yan Gong heard that he was going to attack Da Chu and actually set out, the interval between them was only two days.

What does two days mean?

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

The original plan was to use war to support war.

Use Chu people’s villages as nourishment, whether it’s humans or horses.

“General, we still have half a stick of incense at most. The town of Qiuning is ahead.”

The four-hour rapid march was too much for the wolf riders, even the best among the best.

They could bear it, but the war horses couldn’t bear it either.

Even though each of them brought two horses, the horses were still very tired.

A ray of dawn flashed across the horizon, and the sky seemed to be getting brighter, and it seemed that the sun would rise from the horizon soon.

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

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

This darkness was even darker than the middle of the night.

Qiyan Gong took a deep breath, focused his eyes, and said calmly: “Take a break for half a stick of incense and prepare to attack Qiuning Town!”

Attack Qiuning Town! ?

The wolf-riding centurion next to him heard this and his heart stopped for a beat.

Qiuning Town is said to be a town, but in fact it is no different from a city fortress. The defenders inside are all elites of the Chu army, and there are at least 5,000 people.

Relying on the advantage of the city wall, it is definitely not something that two thousand of them can attack!

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

Everything is very

quiet. Qiuning Town is a military fortress. There are no chickens, ducks, cattle or sheep here, and there are no villages nearby.

Therefore, at this moment, there were no sounds of any animals, only two occasional bird calls.

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

All of the two thousand wolf riders got on their horses and waited quietly for the final order.

Qi Yan bowed on his horse and looked towards Qiuning Town with the only light of dawn. His expression was solemn and he said calmly: “Attack!”

With the order, the two thousand people immediately started to move.

The soldiers of the Qiyan tribe are not good at attacking cities, especially the wolf riders.

However, just because you are not good at attacking cities does not mean you are not good at it.

Two thousand people rode horses and reached the city wall of Qiuning Town in such a short distance almost instantly.

The next second, about a hundred riders from the two thousand people rushed towards the city wall at high speed, with lightning speed, like arrows flying at extremely fast speeds.

Next, the remaining people set up their bows and shot arrows. Their movements were coherent, as if they were integrated with the bows and arrows, and they were so smooth that they couldn’t be any smoother.

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

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the city fortress would have been in chaos.

The sound of the enemy attack will resound throughout the world, and only 10% of the first batch of guards on the city wall will remain.

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

This is the best time to attack the city.

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

With the advantage of speed, the Wolf Cavalry rushed into the city. Before the defenders could react, they killed all parties

and then looked at the situation to decide whether to stay or leave.

This is the Qiyan tribe’s strategy for attacking the city. If it fails from the beginning.

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

Then

This is just under normal circumstances.

This time, however, things don’t seem to be 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 from the city fortress.

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

It feels like Qiuning Town is an empty town without anyone!

But, how is this possible?

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

The centurions nearby urged the wolf riders to set up their bows and prepare for the fourth wave of arrows.

Qiyan Gong, however, shouted coldly: “Stop!”

No centurions needed to convey it, and the two thousand wolf cavalry immediately stopped working with crisp and clear movements.

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

This is called ordering and prohibiting, and it is the most basic quality of the elite among the elite.

At this moment, Qi Yan Gong remained silent, and the centurions also discovered something was wrong.

This Qiuning Town is really too quiet.

But they were still unsure of what was going on with the other party, so they just stayed put.

Time passed by, and in just a minute or two, the city gate of Qiuning Town was opened.

One ride back.

Stopped in front of Qiyan Gong.

“General, this is an empty city!”

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

How could such a large fortress be surrendered like this?

You know, this Qiuning Town is the first fort in Da Chu.

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

Qiuning Town, Qiuning Fucheng.

There are countless dead bones buried under these two fortresses.

In hundreds of duels in the past, the Chu court never gave up on Qiuning Town.

Without Qiuning Town, Qiuning Fucheng would face great pressure.

There was not enough reaction time for the subsequent reinforcements, food and grass, the retreat of the people, and the subsequent layout of the Chu court.

In any case, the Chu court should not abandon Qiuning Town.

What’s more, with so many people in Qiuning Town, if they want to leave, they can’t leave in a moment.

It definitely needs to be prepared three or four days in advance.

So why does this happen?

Qiyan Gong didn’t know what he thought of, his face changed a bit, and his eyes were full of cold light.

The next second, he seemed to have made a decision and said sternly: “Take a rest for a while and follow me to Qiuning Fucheng!”
