As the convoy got closer, the Seawind City soldiers guarding the city gate were able to see clearly the situation of the entire convoy with the help of the bonfire at the city gate. One of the soldiers made a rough count and found that there were almost 20 carriages in this series of convoys. It was covered with thick linen, and you couldn't see what cargo it contained, but the mercenary walking at the front of the convoy was Andy, the leader of the Seawind City Lightning Mercenary Group.
The Lightning Mercenary Group has been established in Seawind City for many years. Over the years, Andy, the leader of the Lightning Mercenary Group, has been very generous every time he escorted goods in and out of the city. Not only did he pay the corresponding taxes, but he also paid extra in private. There are some benefits for everyone, which makes the relationship between the two parties closer and closer,
And tonight the generous Captain Andy is here again, which makes the soldiers guarding the city gate very excited. In recent times, due to the impact of the Northern War, the caravans traveling to and from Seawind City have shrunk significantly. This not only greatly reduced the taxes of Seawind City, but also deprived the soldiers who worked hard to guard the city gates of a large sum of extra money.
"Hey, Captain Andy, haven't you just been away for more than ten days? You're back so soon." A soldier asked casually, and Captain Andy walked over with a smile and took out the A money bag and said: "Young Master, are you really thinking about me? I'm afraid you are thinking about this." After saying that, Andy threw the money bag to the soldier captain guarding the city gate.
The captain stretched out his hand to take the money bag with a smile on his face, but he missed it. Andy threw the money bag with a little more force, and the money bag hit the captain's wrist quickly and urgently, and fell down. It fell to the ground, and the mouth of the money bag seemed to be untied, and all the gold coins inside spilled out.
"Ah." All the soldiers present were shocked by the gold coins rolling around in front of them. The money was almost enough to cover their usual monthly extra income. This made the soldiers who had been poor for several months secretly drool. At that time, all the soldiers forgot why Andy took out so much money uncharacteristically. They were all immersed in their reverie about gold coins.
Andy still stood there with a smile, but behind him, a dozen black shadows slowly surrounded him from the surrounding shadows, and soon surrounded the dozen guard soldiers. These black shadows were revealed. After coming out, they were all mercenaries wearing the uniforms of the Lightning Mercenary Group, but their faces were very serious at this time. Everyone stood silently behind a Seawind City gate guard, staring intently. With one's own goals in mind,
The Seawind City soldiers guarding the city gate didn't notice this at all. They were all busy bending down and desperately picking up gold coins on the ground. From time to time, someone quietly stuffed the gold coins they picked up into their pockets, while the captain lowered his head. He cursed in a loud voice and said: "You guys, listen to me, no corruption, otherwise, I will break his hand." When he said this, the captain quietly put two gold coins into his pocket. in his pocket,
The captain of Seawind City's city gate guard was happily imagining where he would go for fun after the changing of the guard. Suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from behind him and strangled his throat forcefully. The captain still didn't understand what was going on. , he felt a sharp pain coming from his throat. He struggled desperately, but his vital part was cut open by a dagger. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't scream, but he lost consciousness due to suffocation in just ten seconds. ,
The dozen black figures started working together and quickly killed all the money-grubbing guards. Andy looked at the corpses of the guards on the ground and waved lightly. Behind him, the drivers driving the carriages immediately came from He took out a dagger and slashed open the linen covering the carriage. Big hands stretched out from the gaps in the linen, and then tore open the whole piece of linen. One by one, the strong mercenaries got out of the linen. When we came out, it turned out that there was no cargo at all behind the carriage, and there were simply hidden people.
These people dressed as mercenaries jumped down from the carriage one after another. Without Andy's command at all, they began to divide the work in a tacit understanding. Every two people lifted the body of the guard on the ground and walked towards the dark corner of the wall. There were more than a dozen The individual quickly cleared away the obstacles outside the city gate, and then opened the sea breeze city gate to the maximum.
It only took 2 minutes to finish all this, and Captain Andy led several of his men to the city wall. He held a torch high and kept drawing circles on the dark city wall. , a moment later, there was a ball of fire in the distance, echoing the torch in Andy's hand,
Seeing that the contact had been made, Andy breathed a long sigh of relief. All he had to do now was wait for his backup to arrive and completely occupy the gate of Sea Breeze City. The walls of Sea Breeze City were not very high, but Andy They also lack the necessary siege equipment. If they attack hard, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, so they can only find a way to capture the only city gate of Seawind City.
Sea Breeze City is surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is only one city gate in the west, and there are flat hills for more than ten kilometers outside the city gate. You can see through them at a glance. There is no way to hide the traces of the large army, so Andy and his master After careful planning, we chose to take action late at night, because the hazy night was the best cover for the army's march.
Now that everything is ready, all Andy has to do is wait anxiously. His backup is still several kilometers away. In order to conceal his whereabouts, it is impossible to march at full speed, so he must persist here for enough time, otherwise tonight's plan There is no way to execute it smoothly.
Andy walked down the city wall and saw his men removing the weapons from the carriage and distributing them to everyone. The members of his mercenary group were originally the elite soldiers of Lord Senat. Andy was ordered to do so a few years ago. Lurking here, the management of the past few years is all for tonight. As long as this port city can be successfully captured, the connection between the north and the south can be completely cut off, and the north-south shipping can also be monopolized, thereby gaining huge benefits.
However, Andy always had some doubts in his mind. Logically speaking, for such an important operation, more soldiers should be sent. However, Lord Senat only sent 5,000 people. These troops could not compete with Hai Feng in terms of numbers. The city's garrison is relatively small, but fortunately it is Lord Raphael who is in charge of this operation.
Of course Andy knew that Master Raphael held the Soul Eater of Master Senat, which was the number one killer organization in the mainland. Andy secretly speculated that he estimated that Raphael would launch a surprise attack to seize the city gate at the same time. Let the soul-eating killer kill the important figures in Seawind City. As long as the opponent loses command and becomes a mess, then even if there are fewer enemies and more enemies, victory is not impossible. Besides, although the training of Seawind City's soldiers is good, they lack actual combat and have no combat effectiveness at all. Not as good as Andy's mercenaries.
Just when everything was quiet, Andy heard the sound of the door opening coming from the resting place of the soldiers guarding the city gate not far away. Due to the sudden incident, Andy and his men had no time to hide and were completely exposed. In front of the Seawind City guard soldier who came out of the room,
The guard soldier of Seawind City was actually just worried, so he came out reluctantly. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw hundreds of strangers occupying the city gate, while his companions who were keeping watch at night were nowhere to be seen. The soldier was stunned for a moment. He never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation. Seeing the strangers seeing him, they all ran towards him quickly. He suddenly shouted loudly: " Enemy attack.”
The sound spread far and wide in the silent night, but it suddenly stopped. A flying knife was inserted into the soldier's throat, taking his life. Andy hit the target with the knife, but because the distance was too different , he had to run a few steps before he could get into the range of the flying knife, so he was a little late when he hit the Seawind City soldier and failed to stop the other party from shouting a warning.
A middle-aged man's voice immediately came from the room where the Seawind City soldiers were lazily resting: "You idiot, can't you just sleep peacefully... Ah, the enemy is attacking." Another Seawind City soldier carried a The pants came out, and after seeing their companions lying in a pool of blood, they screamed,
Andy was very angry. Originally, he could have secretly planned to seize the city gate quietly, but due to such an unexpected situation, it turned into a violent attack. However, Andy made a prompt decision and immediately issued an order to hold on. At the same time, people and Contact backup and ask them to hurry up.
In fact, there was no need for Andy to contact anyone else. The few screams just now were enough to let the backup who were still several kilometers away understand that this time the surprise attack plan had failed. The commander who led the 5,000 soldiers almost immediately heard the screams. After the order was given to advance at full speed, the 5,000 Senat soldiers immediately abandoned all disguises, and the sound of footsteps in unison was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.
The soldiers in the Seawind City military camp finally understood what was happening outside. They immediately became chaotic. Those sleeping Seawind City soldiers ran out of the house in a swarm. Due to the tight time, these soldiers were not able to dress neatly. Some People were even barefoot. Under the command of the military camp commander, the soldiers of Seawind City began to run towards the city gate. They were not in a neat formation, and many of them did not even hold the necessary weapons. They were just like that. He followed his captain empty-handed and ran toward the city gate.
A race against time started between Senat's army and Seawind City's army. The Lightning Mercenary Group, led by its leader Andy, relied on carriages to station at the city gate. The Lightning Mercenary Group was small in number, but it was With rich combat experience, they have developed a very good tacit understanding in their adventure careers over the past few years, and this time they are equipped with excellent weapons for this battle, which makes Andy and his men very confident in blocking the Seawind City army and providing a good defense for their own side. The main force arrived to gain time,
