Under the pale blue moonlight.

The night was dark, and the fields were full of insects.

suddenly!

The sound of humming on both sides of an official road gradually stopped, and the ground shook.

Tread!

The almost endless cavalry is galloping past.

But it was night after all, and the lighting was completely different from natural light. Even if the whip was whipped vigorously, the speed of the horse could not be compared with that of the day under the instinct of the creature.

However, it is also much faster than walking.

And the road conditions are good.

Baicheng is located on a plain, and there is no need to climb mountains and mountains.

nature.

There are many villages on both sides of the road.

At this time, it was not yet night.

a certain village.

The family, who had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed, felt the vibrations and the louder and louder sound of horses' hooves.

"what happened?"

"Horses, many!"

The vibration of the ground is too obvious, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

rush out the door.

The whole family was stunned when they saw the bright light in the distance.

that light.

So bright!

The most important thing is that it is almost impossible to see the end. Through the bright light, some situations can be seen, but the content is horrifying, and the head of the family froze in place.

"what is that?"

"It's like the kind of lamp in the city, but how can this one move?"

"..."

The family is discussing.

After a long time, the head of the family took a deep breath and tremblingly said:

"Nanqing...Nanqing Army!"

The average person cannot tell the difference because of the limited range of activities.

The farthest one has been to a nearby town, and he can recognize it because he visited friends in a border town a few days ago and saw the armor of the Nanqing border guards from a distance.

"Nanqing?"

"How is it possible, father, you read it wrong." The eldest son exclaimed.

"..."

"It can't be wrong."

The head of the family smiled wryly, there was no other way, the new style of armor looked good, and the color was also very unique, the armor of his own city-state was nothing short of scum.

There is no way to compare.

Eldest Son: "Why..."

"..."

Now, no one can explain his doubts.

. . .

It was easy to be recognized when they first entered Baicheng. However, as the distance of the assault got deeper and deeper, the people of Baicheng saw it and didn't feel it.

It's time to eat.

It's time to sleep.

In fact.

In the previous two alerts, a large number of troops from various city-states came and went, which was a novelty at first.

Different city-states have different armor styles.

Therefore, he didn't care about the army in front of him.

The only thing I'm curious about is the movable light source. If I have one at home, I won't be afraid of walking at night in the future, but it's just a thought.

It is not ordinary at first glance, and the price will definitely not be cheap. It should be a new product of Zhengyuan Company.

. . .

ten minutes later.

A large city thirty kilometers away from the border, on the city wall, soldiers on guard at night dozed off, and some torches were placed at intervals on the wall.

The illuminated area, while limited, is better than nothing.

From the tower, looking at some places in the city, the soldiers looked envious.

dynamo.

lamp.

It has already been regarded as the standard equipment for large families in hundreds of cities, and many of them are directly lit for one night.

Although expensive, there are always some big households who can afford it, and ordinary people can only use oil lamps.

Great taste.

Brightness is low.

Looking at the dark city wall, they all complained, why don't they draw a line here, so that the vision is at least better, not as dim as it is now.

If someone came over the wall and pinpointed the patrol time, it would be difficult to be found.

but.

Over the years, few such incidents have occurred.

Conquest is prohibited between city-states.

The power in the city-state is clear.

It can be said that outside, there are no enemies, and inside, everyone has no reason to die.

As for whether there are bandits?

How is it possible, there may be Nanqing and Dayan, but Baicheng is located on the plain and there is no danger to defend.

There is no soil where bandits live.

Because of this, it makes people want to doze off.

On the left tower of the south gate.

A soldier chick pecks like rice.

one time.

Hurry up and wake up.

Again.

Waking up again, he raised his head and glanced at the end of the city wall facing him. There was nothing abnormal.

After pecking again.

Looked up.

Then he saw the last scene before he passed out, his two companions had fallen to the ground, and a man in black was turning his head to look at him, before he wanted to warn.

The man in black rushed over like lightning.

boom!

He was hit on the head and passed out immediately. Then, the man in black jumped off the tower, landed on the city wall, and moved towards the tower in the middle of the south wall.

ten minutes later.

Tread!

There was a tremor in the distance.

Accompanied by a large number of light spots getting closer.

Come to the south gate.

Squeak!

The gate opened, and the Nanqing soldiers were very calm. This scene was all too familiar, and the professional tower-stealing household lived up to its reputation.

"Occupy the city wall." The officer ordered.

"yes!"

Three thousand soldiers dismounted and entered the city. Following the stone steps inside the city gate, following the usual training, they quickly set up a defense and cleaned up the stunned guards.

Everyone is used to it.

Those who could not be killed, the night raiders generally would not actually kill them.

Although the difficulty is a bit higher, it has to be said that the Night Raiders are really good.

If ordinary soldiers were to do it, it would be difficult to be so perfect. It was really a terrifying force. After a while, the four city gates had been completely taken over.

subsequently.

They rushed into the dormitories of the city guard camps one by one.

When the soldiers who were sleeping soundly opened their eyes, they saw the shining knife.

Dumbfounded!

at last.

They were all gathered outside the barracks, not in a wartime state, and they could not leave their bodies without swords and armor. Facing the sudden appearance of the enemy, they couldn't organize a resistance for a while.

They squatted down one by one.

cold!

The night wind is cool.

"Who are you? How dare you attack us." A city guard leader asked.

It is thought that which family is going to cause trouble, and the city-state conquest is prohibited. Many people's ambitions can only be attacked internally. Family changes are not new.

The city guards are not the city-state army.

I have never left here, so I didn't recognize it through the armor at all.

then.

In the next second, the other party's answer made him dumbfounded.

Not only him, but also some soldiers' thoughts of preparing to rise up, suddenly extinguished, the kind of heart-wrenching.

"Nanqing Army!"

The minds of hundreds of city guard soldiers holding their heads were buzzing.

Nanqing!

Nanqing!

This is completely beyond everyone's expectations.

If the opponent was a family in the city-state, they still had the courage to resist, but if it was the Nanqing Army, their courage was directly punctured.

The opponent is a huge empire.

Even the city-state army who had been to the border was very afraid of Nanqing soldiers.

Don't dare to provoke.

after all.

The power of the city-state is too scattered, and if it is taken out individually, it is too weak in front of an empire, and if it takes the initiative to provoke it, it will be cleaned up by others.

Baicheng will not help out.

therefore.

Over time.

Nanqing, these border city-states are very afraid.

Under such psychological influence, they were all honest and never thought of resisting.

I thought: Did the family in the city-state offend Nanqing?

Um!

Definitely is.

I was just implicated, be honest, it should be fine.

. . .

In this way, except for a few battles without attrition, these city guards have accepted the reality of captives under the identity of the Nanqing Army.

Counseling?

shame?

No!

This is called timekeeping.

It must be something important in the city-state who offended Nan Qing.

You little shrimps like yourself, don't participate in it. It doesn't matter if you are captured now, if you are forced to fight by big shots, it will be fatal.

It's okay to catch thieves and watch the door.

fight?

That's the farthest thing.

. . .

Such a misunderstanding.

Occurs in many cities.

To this.

The Nanqing army did not explain, after occupying the city wall and capturing the city guard camp near the city wall, the Nanqing army did not continue to cause trouble in the city.

After leaving three thousand soldiers.

Continue on your way.

Tonight, there are many tasks.

They had to rush to the next destination before dawn. In fact, not all the cities along the way were included in the first batch of occupation plans, the main key cities.

Cavalry go first, occupy key points, and divide the battlefield as quickly as possible.

If they advance in a step-by-step line, Baicheng will react and easily form a group.

Cut off the connection between them, and clean up one by one.

It stands to reason.

Such dispersion is a taboo for military strategists, because it is difficult to coordinate, but this is not a problem at all for the Nanqing Army.
