Chapter 194 Sneak Attack
Chapter 194 Sneak Attack
"Before, I thought I could defend Ling Yi City even with less than 100,000 troops, so I didn't ask the king for help. But the loss of Ling Yi City was like a slap in the face. I was too arrogant."
General Mao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said with a bitter face.
General Mao's words made the atmosphere at the scene somewhat depressing. Ling Yichen's loss was not pleasant for Shui Ling's side, so they all drank in silence.
For Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others, no matter what they said at this time, it would easily give people the impression that they were talking without any concerns, so they remained silent in the end.
"I want to raid Fate in the middle of the night."
In the end, it was Xuanyuan Xingyao who broke the silence.
Although the atmosphere was no longer dull because of Xuanyuan Xingyao's words, it also made everyone excited.
“Raid!!!”
General Mao didn't understand why Xuanyuan Xingyao chose to launch a surprise attack at this time.
"Yes, we just arrived today. Fate doesn't know much about our situation yet, so they definitely won't launch a rash attack in the near future. They certainly won't expect us to launch an attack in the middle of the night, so the security at the barracks might not be that strict."
Xuanyuan Xingyao analyzed it to everyone.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and everyone's face showed some excitement, and it was obvious that they agreed with Xuanyuan Xingyao's words.
On Longying's side, Xuanyuan Xingyao was the one who made the decision, and the deputy generals also agreed with Xuanyuan Xingyao's proposal, so no one spoke up to object.
As for Shui Ling, everyone turned their eyes to General Mao, waiting for his decision.
However, from the shining eyes, it can be seen that they are still tempted by Xuanyuan Xingyao's proposal.
General Mao glanced at the other generals and fell silent. After a while, General Mao slammed the table with his palm.
"Dry!!!"
"Since General Mao agrees with my proposal, let's gather our troops now and rest in the barracks for a few hours to recuperate. After midnight, when everyone is most tired, we will set out to attack Camp Fit."
Xuanyuan Xingyao made the final decision.
"good."
Everyone responded in unison.
Because everyone was worried about the midnight raid, no one exchanged pleasantries during the meal. Everyone filled their stomachs as quickly as possible and then got up to make arrangements for the midnight battle.
"You should stay in the government office tonight and have a good rest. Don't follow me."
Xuanyuan Xingyao felt that it would be too tiring to raid in the middle of the night without knowing when he would be able to return, so he didn't want Nangong Jing to go with him.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing stared at Xuanyuan Xingyao for a few seconds, and then spoke in a calm but serious tone.
"I'll give you two choices. One is that you take me with you, and the other is that I'll follow you."
After hearing what Nangong Jing said, Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little amused. Was he being asked to make a choice? There was no choice at all.
"I just don't want you to be so tired."
Nangong Jing glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao and said with some arrogance.
"As a summoner, I can go without sleep for several nights without any problem, let alone just one night."
It’s not that Nangong Jing can’t live without Xuanyuan Xingyao, but he wants to fight side by side with Xuanyuan Xingyao.
It was fine before, but now they are together and their relationship is clear.
The most important thing is that he is already standing here, but he can only stay in the government office waiting for Xuanyuan Xingyao to come back. What is the difference between that and waiting in the imperial capital.
Nangong Jing had said this much, Xuanyuan Xingyao had no choice but to agree.
The most important thing is that Xuanyuan Xingyao knows Nangong Jing's character. If he doesn't bring him along, he will really do what he wants to do in private.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Xingyao agreed, Nangong Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then went back to his room to recuperate.
When it was almost time to set off, although Xuanyuan Xingyao wanted Nangong Jing to continue resting, in order to prevent Nangong Jing from getting angry tomorrow, Xuanyuan Xingyao still obediently went to wake him up and then went to meet up in the military camp together.
Because too many people would easily attract other people's attention, Xuanyuan Xingyao and General Mao did not send out all their troops for this raid, but each of them mobilized 50,000 troops.
In order to keep the noise down, the leading generals did not ride horses, but chose to walk with the soldiers.
Fate's camp was not far from Yangcheng. It was located on the river bank, less than 20 miles away from Yangcheng. The soldiers could reach the camp in less than an hour on foot.
In the dark night, the soldiers, each wearing armor and with a sword on their waist, hurried on their way with serious expressions.
No one spoke on the road, and everyone rushed to Fate's camp as fast as possible.
The journey would have taken nearly an hour, but they arrived in less than half an hour.
This distance was nothing for Xuanyuan Xingyao and others, but it consumed a lot of physical strength for the soldiers.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Xingyao specially let the soldiers rest for about ten minutes. After everyone had recovered some strength, he waved his hand and started the attack.
Xuanyuan Xingyao did not lead his soldiers into the camp and fight with Fate's army, but first "raided" Fate's supplies.
When the supplies were destroyed, the soldiers in the camp were unable to rush over to rescue them in the first time.
Xuanyuan Xingyao also ordered General Mao to lead several fire magicians to use magic to bombard the Fate camp from the air. He also launched a direct assault the moment chaos broke out in the Fate camp.
Xuanyuan Xingyao led the soldiers to find the approximate location of the supply warehouse, and then waited not far away for General Mao to take action.
General Mao was also calculating the time in his mind. Thinking that once Xuanyuan Xingyao was almost in place, he waved his hand and ordered the magicians to launch a long-range attack.
Fireballs fell from the sky, and soon the camp was filled with the sounds of noisy footsteps, shouts for people to put out the fire, and even scolding. It was a complete chaos.
After chaos broke out in the camp, General Mao led his men to attack.
The soldiers guarding the gate soon discovered that someone was attacking, and the sound of warning bells spread throughout the entire military camp.
The coach on Fate's side heavily lifted the door curtain and walked out of the tent. Looking at the flames in the camp and the crisp sounds of swords clashing in his ears, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had been listening with his ears perked up. When he heard that the camp was in chaos, he nodded to Nangong Jing and the two deputy generals.
When they arrived, Xuanyuan Xingyao had already made the distribution. He and two deputy generals led 3,000 troops to destroy the supplies.
When it was time to take action, he and two lieutenants led a thousand men each.
As for Nangong Jing, of course he would act together with Xuanyuan Xingyao.
The remaining soldiers, led by the remaining deputy generals, followed General Mao's orders and launched a violent attack on the camp.
Xuanyuan Xingyao destroyed the wooden wall in front of him with one sword and rushed in with his soldiers.
The soldiers guarding the warehouse have already noticed the movement here.
As soon as Xuanyuan Xingyao and his group rushed in, Fate's soldiers had already rushed in front of them.
However, before Fate's soldiers could reach Xuanyuan Xingyao, they were stopped by the soldiers brought by Xuanyuan Xingyao.
While the soldiers were fighting, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing began to destroy the warehouse where the supplies were stored.
"careful!!!"
Nangong Jing saw a giant python opening its bloody mouth and biting towards Xuanyuan Xingyao. His face immediately changed and he summoned the Snow Dragon Ape to protect Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect such a giant python to suddenly appear, but his expression didn't change. It was just a giant python, and Xuanyuan Xingyao could easily avoid it if he wanted to.
However, Xuanyuan Xingyao was still very grateful for Nangong Jing's support and concern.
"It's a Azure Dragon Python. It's said to have a trace of dragon blood in it, and its entire body is extremely poisonous. Be careful not to touch it."
Nangong Jing recognized what kind of monster the giant python was and became more alert.
"I don't know if this was summoned by a summoner or someone's magical pet."
Xuanyuan Xingyao danced with his body, and the sharp sword light attacked the Qinglong Python while speaking to Nangong Jing.
"It's probably a familiar. If it's a summoned beast, the summoner must be nearby. And even the lowest-level summoner has two familiars. It's impossible for them to release just one."
Nangong Jing also released Tongtianhu and Yan, and asked Tongtianhu and the Snow Dragon Ape to cooperate with each other to get rid of the Azure Dragon Python. He took Yan with him to burn down the warehouse where supplies were stored.
However, Nangong Jing failed to burn down the warehouse successfully, because as soon as he approached the warehouse, he was stopped by several lightning bolts.
If Nangong Jing had not dodged quickly, those lightning bolts would not have fallen on the ground, but would have fallen directly on him.
Nangong Jing looked at the black marks on the ground and realized that this warehouse was not only guarded by the Azure Dragon Python, but also by a thunder magician.
I don’t know what level of cultivation this thunder magician has, and how many magicians are guarding him in secret.
Nangong Jing was almost struck by lightning. Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally noticed it and frowned slightly. It was his negligence. He did not expect that in addition to ordinary soldiers, there were also magicians and magic pets guarding the warehouse.
"Leave them to you two to take care of them. Leave the Azure Dragon Python and the people in the dark to Xiao Jing and me."
Based on the current situation, Xuanyuan Xingyao quickly made a decision. He handed over the management of his team of soldiers to two deputy generals, while he concentrated on dealing with the Azure Dragon Python and the magician in the dark.
"yes."
The two lieutenants responded loudly.
"We must fight quickly and decisively. The movement here will soon attract the attention of others."
These words were not only spoken to the two deputy generals, but also to himself.
"Xiao Jing, you deal with the giant python, and I'll deal with the magician in the dark."
As Xuanyuan Xingyao spoke, he swung several cold sword energies towards the location where the lightning had just occurred, directly forcing the people in the dark out.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao ran towards this side, Nangong Jing had already retreated and summoned out the remaining monsters.
The Azure Dragon Python may have sensed that the monsters summoned by Nangong Jing were not easy to mess with, and a trace of fear appeared in its eyes, and it roared, as if to show its ferocity to Yan and the others.
