Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 478 Night Attack (2)

As the convoy got closer and closer, the soldiers of Sea Breeze City who guarded the city gates were able to see the entire convoy with the help of the bonfire at the gates. One of the soldiers roughly counted and found that this series of convoys had almost 20 carriages. It was covered with thick linen, and you couldn't see what cargo was loaded, but the mercenary walking in the front of the convoy was Andy, the head of the Lightning Mercenary Group in Seawind City.

The Lightning Mercenary Corps has been established in Sea Breeze City for many years. Over the years, Andy, the head of the Lightning Mercenary Corps, is very generous every time he escorts goods into and out of the city gate. He not only pays the corresponding taxes, but also pays extra privately. Everyone has some benefits, which makes the relationship between the two parties more and more intimate.

And tonight the generous Captain Andy is here again, which makes the soldiers guarding the gates look forward to it. Recently, due to the influence of the Northern War, the caravans from and to Seawind City have shrunk significantly. This not only reduced the taxes of Sea Breeze City, but also saved the soldiers who worked hard to guard the city gate a lot of extra money.

"Huh? Commander Andy, haven't you been away for more than ten days? You came back so soon?" A soldier asked casually, while the commander Andy walked over with a smile and took it out of his arms. A wallet said: "Come on, do you really miss me? I am afraid you are thinking about this?" After speaking, Andy threw the wallet to the captain of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The captain smiled openly and stretched out his hand to pick up the money bag, but he took an empty one. Andy seemed to have a little more strength to throw out the money bag. The money bag hit the captain’s wrist quickly and urgently, and it fell off all of a sudden. It fell on the ground, and the mouth of the purse didn't seem to be tightened, and all the gold coins in it spilled out.

"Ah!" All the soldiers present were shocked by the gold coins rolling over in front of them. The money almost surpassed their usual one month's extra money, which made the soldiers who had been poor for a few months secretly slobber. At that time, all the soldiers had forgotten why Andy took out so much money uncharacteristically. They were all immersed in the reverie of gold coins.

Andy still stood there with a smile, but behind him, a dozen black shadows slowly outflanked the surrounding shadows, and soon surrounded the dozen guard soldiers in it, these shadows revealed After they came out, they were all mercenaries wearing the costumes of the Lightning Mercenary Corps, but their faces were very serious at this time. Everyone stood silently behind a guard at the gate of Sea Breeze City, staring at him. With their own goals.

The Seawind City soldiers who guarded the city gate did not notice this at all. They were all busy burying their heads and bending over and desperately picking up the gold coins on the ground. From time to time, someone quietly stuffed the picked gold coins into their pockets, while the captain lowered it The voice cursed and said: "A bunch of bastards, let me listen. Don't embezzle, otherwise, I will interrupt his hand." When he said this, the captain quietly put two gold coins into himself In his pocket.

The captain of Seawind City’s gate guard, Zheng Mei, dreamed about where he would go after the change of guard, suddenly a pair of big hands stretched out from behind him, strangling his throat forcefully, the captain still didn’t understand what happened. , He felt a sharp pain in his throat. He struggled desperately, but his vitals was cut with a dagger. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound, but he lost his mind due to suffocation for ten seconds. .

The dozen or so dark shadows worked together and quickly killed all the guards who were greedy for money.Andy looked at the guard corpses all over the floor and waved his hand gently. Behind him, the coachmen who drove the carriage immediately took out their daggers and slashed open the linen covering the carriage. The linen cloth stretched out from the gap, and then tore open the whole piece of linen cloth forcefully. One by one, strong mercenaries got out of the linen cloth. It turned out that there was no cargo behind the carriage, and there were people hidden.

These mercenary-dressed people jumped off the carriage, without Andy's command, they started to divide the work very tacitly. Every two people lifted the guard body on the ground and walked towards the dark corner of the wall. There are more than a dozen. The individual quickly cleared the obstacles outside the city gate, and then opened the gate of Sea Breeze City to its maximum.

After doing all this, it only took 2 minutes, and the leader Andy took a few of his men on the wall. He raised a torch and kept drawing circles on the dark wall. .After a while, there was also a group of fire in the distance, echoing the torch in Andy's hand.

Seeing that the contact had been made, Andy let out a long sigh of relief. All he had to do now was to wait for his backup to arrive and completely occupy the gate of Sea Breeze City.The walls of Seawind City are not very high, but Andy and the others also lack the necessary siege equipment. If they attack hard, they will definitely lose a lot, 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. Only on the west is there a gate. Ten kilometers outside the gate are flat hills, which can be seen through at a glance. There is no way to hide the traces of the large troops, so Andy and his master After careful planning, I chose to start late at night, because the hazy night is the best cover for the army to march.

Now that everything is ready, what Andy has to do is wait anxiously. His backup is still several kilometers away. It is impossible to march at full speed in order to hide his whereabouts, so he must stay here for enough time, otherwise he plans tonight. There is no way to execute it smoothly.

Andy walked down the city wall and saw that his men were taking down the weapons from the carriage and in the hands of everyone who distributed them. The members of his mercenary group were originally elite soldiers of Lord Senat. Andy was ordered several years ago. I'm lurking here. The business of the past few years is all for tonight. As long as the port city can be successfully captured, then the connection between the north and the south can be completely cut off, and the north-south shipping can be monopolized, thereby obtaining huge benefits.

However, Andy always felt some doubts in his heart. It is reasonable to say that such an important operation should send more soldiers. However, the lord of Senat only sent 5,000 people. These troops are not able to match the sea breeze in number. The garrison in the city compares, but fortunately, Lord Raphael presided over this operation.

Of course Andy knows that this Master Raphael holds the Soul Eater of the master Senat in his hands. It is the number one killer organization in the mainland. Andy secretly speculates that Raphael will launch a surprise attack to seize the city gate. Let the soul-eater kill the important characters in Seawind City. As long as the opponent loses command and becomes a mess, then there is no possibility of victory even with fewer enemies. Besides, the soldiers of Seawind City are well trained, but lack actual combat and combat effectiveness. Not as good as the mercenaries under Andy.

Just when everything was lonely, Andy heard the door opening from the resting place of the soldiers guarding the city gate not far away. Because of the sudden incident, Andy and his men had no time to hide and were completely exposed. In front of the soldier guarding Seawind City who walked out of the room.

The guard soldier of Sea Breeze City was actually only anxious, so he walked out reluctantly. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw hundreds of strangers occupy the city gate, but the companions who watched the night were nothing. The soldier stayed for a while. He never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation. Seeing that the strangers saw him and ran towards him, he suddenly yelled: " Enemy attack!"

The sound spread far and wide in the silent night, but it stopped abruptly, and a flying knife was stuck in the soldier's throat, taking his life.Andy hit the target with a stab, but because of the difference in distance, he had to run a few steps to get into the range of the throwing knife, so when he hit the soldier of Seawind City, he was a little late and failed to stop the opponent's loud warning.

A middle-aged man’s voice came out from the room where the soldiers of Seawind City were lazily resting: "You idiot, can't you sleep honestly...Ah, the enemy attack!" Another soldier of Seawind City said He walked out with his pants, and screamed when he saw his companion lying in a pool of blood.

Andy was very annoyed. He could secretly seize the city gate quietly from the original plan, but because of such an unexpected situation, it turned into a storm, but Andy made a decisive decision and immediately issued the order to stick to it, and at the same time let people and Support contact, let them speed up.

In fact, there is no need for Andy to contact anything. The few screams just now are enough to make the backups who are still a few kilometers understand that this surprise attack plan has failed. The commander who led the 5000 fighters was almost at the same time the screams sounded. The command to advance at full speed was given, and the 5,000 Senat soldiers immediately abandoned all their camouflage, and the sound of their footsteps was particularly noticeable in the secluded night.

The soldiers in the Seawind City Barracks finally understood what was happening outside, and they immediately became a mess. The sleeping Seawind City soldiers ran out of the house in a swarm. Due to time constraints, these soldiers were not able to dress neatly. Some People are even barefoot.Under the command of the commander of the military camp, the soldiers of Seawind City began to run towards the city gate. They did not have a neat formation. Many of them did not even hold the necessary weapons, and followed their captain empty-handed. Running towards the city gate.

A race against time is being played between Senat’s army and Seawind City’s army. The Lightning Mercenary Group, led by its commander Andy, is stationed at the gate of the city with a carriage. The Lightning Mercenary Group is not many, but With a wealth of combat experience, they have developed a very good understanding of their adventures in the past few years, and this time they are equipped with excellent weapons, which makes Andy and his men very confident to block the Seawind City army for their own sake. The main force arrived to win time.
