On February 2, the dragon raises its head.

Huaiyuan is covered with white snow, and a thick layer of snow blocks the outside of the city, making the city isolated, quiet and solemn.

The moonlight was deserted and the cold wind was biting, passing by like a sharp knife, causing the snow on the branches to tremble and fall.

Suddenly a team emerged from the woods, dressed in white, lowering their bodies, running quickly, their cold eyes staring straight ahead, like a killing god emerging from the white world. The leader was Yuchi Baoqi. For this

The operation was successful. Yuchi Baoqi trained like crazy to squeeze the potential of the soldiers. It took a lot of effort, but the results were ideal.

While running, the rustling sound of trampling on the snow spread all around, which was particularly obvious in this quiet night. When he was about to rush to the city wall, Yuchi Baoqi stopped decisively and crawled forward. Others followed suit, and his voice suddenly became quieter.

Quite a few, this kind of training is not just once, everyone has already become proficient in it.

No one could be seen on the city wall. Maybe they were hiding in a corner and staring at the surroundings. Maybe it was too cold and they hid by the fire.

But Yuchi Baoqi did not dare to be careless, and deliberately avoided the city gate on his infiltration route. Once he found something suspicious on the city wall, he stopped decisively and made sure that everything was safe before continuing to march. Unknowingly, he came to the city wall, and everyone leaned against it.

The city wall has shining eyes. Once it is captured, it will be the first achievement that no one will miss.

Everyone took off the flying claws on their shoulders, rotated them according to the training method, and then threw them hard. The flying claws firmly grasped a certain position on the city wall and pulled hard. It was extremely stable. Everyone looked at Yuchi Baoqi, Yuchi Baoqi.

Then he stared at the top of the city wall and saw that no one was looking down to check. He was determined, took out the knife and bit it in his mouth, and quickly climbed up using his hands and feet.

The others quickly followed, silently and skillfully.

Soon, everyone climbed up to the top of the city. They were not in a hurry to climb over the wall to enter, but carefully poked their heads to take a look. Soon they found many people squatting under the corner of the city wall to warm themselves up, taking a nap with weapons in their arms. Those who were not sleeping were too lazy to get up.

While patrolling, chatting quietly with the people next to him, Yuchi Baoqi quickly turned over and blended into the shadow of the wall to touch it, silently, like a civet cat walking at night.

The others also turned over, gripped their swords tightly, and walked close to the wall.

At the front, Yuchi Baoqi, worried about being exposed, suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

A soldier who hadn't slept heard something unusual. He turned around and saw only a cold light passing by, and didn't know anything else.

Yuchi Baoqi wiped out the other person's neck with a knife, inserted it into the other person's neck, pierced the other person's neck, kicked the other person over with a flying kick, and drew the knife to look at the other person. The other enemies also reacted and evaded.

At this moment, the soldiers who followed came swarmed forward, their swords flashing and making a popping sound.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen enemies fell.

Yuchi Baoqi motioned for everyone to squat down and look around cautiously. There were people gathering at the corner of the city wall in the distance, and they were also warming up around the bonfire. It was too cold, it was the middle of the night, and the snow outside was so thick that it was hard to walk.

I didn't expect anyone to touch it.

The opportunity was rare. Yuchi Baoqi led everyone down the steps and saw a group of people guarding the door. They were hiding in the doorway to light a fire to keep warm. Yuchi Baoqi grabbed a brigade commander and pointed to the winch next to him, trying to open the city.

To open the door, you can only turn the winch and let the thick rope pull up the stone, otherwise it cannot be opened.

The brigade commander nodded knowingly and led a group of people to rush towards the winch. The others took out their repeating crossbows and followed Yuchi Baoqi closely. They soon came to the city gate. Yuchi Baoqi squatted down and moved forward with his big hand.

The crossbow sounded immediately, and the crossbow arrows flew away one after another, sticking to the target like a life-stealing talisman, taking away the life.

"ah--"

Screams rang out one after another, breaking the tranquility around them.

Yuchi Baoqi knew it was going to be bad, but he had no better way. There were many enemies in the city gate cave and it was impossible to solve them silently. Using a repeating crossbow was the best and fastest way. All of this was deduced at the request of Qin Huaidao.

Countless times and countless simulation trainings, everyone knows what to do.

Waves of arrows roared away, their murderous intent unparalleled.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of enemies were shot and killed. Yuchi Baoqi saw torches approaching from a distance, as well as footsteps and inquiries. He did not panic. With a wave of his hand, everyone turned their crossbows and lined up.

Stay serious.

There were quite a few people coming, and perhaps because they didn't get a reply, they dispersed and came over with a little more caution.

Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the direction of the winch. A group of people were working hard to turn the winch. The winch was connected to a huge boulder. It was difficult to turn, but if there were more people on it, it would be crowded. It was meaningless. He shouted in a low voice: "Free fire, can't stop."

, whether you can succeed depends on this!"

Everyone nodded one after another, and their eyes became cold.

Soon, a large number of enemy troops rushed over. One general took the lead. Just as he was about to shout and ask something, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Just in time to give a warning, countless arrows flew towards him. Capture the thief first and capture the king!

The general was shocked and quickly dodged, but he was taken care of. There were too many arrows and he couldn't avoid them all. He was hit by several arrows. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees. More arrows flew towards him.

The interval was only a blink of an eye, and I was horrified and shouted: "No, crossbows, move away, warning!"

After saying that, he let out a breath and fell to the ground motionless.

The enemy troops who followed heard the warning and dispersed and fled. However, the repeating crossbows were not bows and arrows. They shot too fast, one after another. Several families chased the enemy and fought. When Yuchi Baoqi saw that the enemy was about to run, he even took the arrows with him.

People rushed to kill him.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy army abandoned nearly half of their bodies and fled away.

Yuchi Baoqi did not chase, and led the team back quickly. The first priority was to open the door. He looked up and saw that the huge stone at the city gate had been half lifted. There was a dense rustling sound outside the city gate, like countless giant pythons gliding.

It's weird, they are mercenaries in the plan.

When the mercenary army was first established, Qin Huaidao wanted to test everyone's combat effectiveness. A battle that was too difficult would not work. This kind of sneak attack was just right. Secondly, everyone would win the first battle and improve their morale and confidence. Thirdly, if they won, they would be rewarded with silver.

Once you get it, your morale will be higher and you will become a strong army. It can be said that you have good intentions.

Yuchi Baoqi didn't understand why Qin Huaidao wanted to set up a mercenary army. Wouldn't it be bad to give out so much silver reward to everyone? But he didn't ask any more questions. He was ready to see the effect and shouted to his subordinates: "Be alert!"

Everyone dispersed and waited solemnly.

Warnings sounded in the city, lights lit up in countless rooms, and the sound of neat and dense footsteps came. Yuchi Baoqi stared ahead and shouted in a low voice: "Don't panic, hold on tight, the army will be here soon.

"

The hands of everyone holding the repeating crossbow became more steady.

Soon, a large number of enemies rushed up, holding torches and glaring knives.

However, mercenaries also rushed in. In order to boost morale, Luo Zhang rushed into the city first. He quickly untied the sled and rushed forward with a stainless steel horse pole. He rushed past Yuchi Baoqi and rushed into the enemy group.

, Ma Shan swept across thousands of troops, the air buzzed and exploded, and a large area was blown away at once.

When Yuchi Baoqi saw Luo Zhang take action for the first time, his eyes lit up, and the blood in his heart was instantly ignited, and he became eager to fight. As the son of the fierce general Li Junxian, his force was naturally not weak. He rushed forward and slashed, and was instantly knocked down.

Several people saw the stainless steel horse in Luo Zhang's hand spinning like a windmill, crushing him ahead of him, and flying away upon contact. No one could stop it.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Zhang was left with corpses behind him.

Seeing this scene, Yuchi Baoqi's blood boiled with excitement, and he showed off his power and chased after him.

The mercenaries who rushed up were very excited. Both the Xi tribe and the Khitan tribe admired the strong. The brave Luo Zhang was like giving everyone a tube of chicken blood. He rushed up with a roar and fired with his crossbow.

.

More and more mercenaries rushed in. Seeing how ferocious the people in front of them were, their blood boiled with excitement. They screamed and rushed forward to shoot them. Every head was worth money.

Soon, seven thousand mercenaries rushed into the city, lined up in a row, and advanced in a crushing manner, killing all enemies in front of them.

Yuchi Baoqi knew very well that his task was to open the city gate. The first victory was enough. There was no need to attack again. He stayed at the city gate just in case. A brigade commander said with some envy: "Captain Li, I heard that they killed

The enemy's head is always worth money, it would be great if we also had it, wouldn't what we just killed also be counted on their heads?"

"No, who dares to report military merit indiscriminately and seek death? Also, they are mercenaries, they have no establishment, and they may be disbanded one day. We are a regular army. We have to pay military pay every month if we don't fight. They don't have it. What do you think?

Go? Talk to the general later."

"Forget it, let's talk casually, it's better for us. We get military pay every month. The general is benevolent and gives us a silver reward after every battle. Although it's been a bit hard during this period, we win every time and get the rewards.

I have earned more money than I have in my whole life, and it is fun to follow the general." The other party said quickly.

"Who is speaking ill of this general?" came a voice.

"I've seen the general!" When everyone saw it was Qin Huaidao, they quickly saluted.

Qin Huaidao looked at the flames in front of him and the shouts of killing. He was determined in his heart and said with a smile: "If we can capture Huaiyuan this time, you are the first to do it. We will give you a big reward later. Each of your names will be on the merit list."

, the Holy One will see it.”

"Really? Your Majesty will see our names?" Everyone suddenly became excited.

"Why, you don't believe what I say, general?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"No, no." Everyone said quickly.

Qin Huaidao looked at the brothers around him and continued: "Yuchi Baolin, take your people to take care of the grain depot, Li Yixie, take people into the city lord's palace and protect the supplies, Cheng Chumo, take a thousand people to patrol the city, and strictly enforce military discipline. Cheng Chuliang, Cheng

Chu Bi, you two take over the city defense, guard the four gates, and then put away everyone's sleds."

When mercenaries are first established, they must be used and guarded against, especially the Khitans. With weapons in hand, it will be a big deal if they suddenly switch sides, and they must be watched to death.

"Follow the order!" Everyone nodded knowingly and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao looked at Yuchi Baoqi and others and smiled: "From now on, you will temporarily join the pro-army and replace Fang Yiai to protect the safety of this general, okay?"

"I am willing to die for the general!" Everyone was overjoyed and quickly responded.

"Mr. An Guo, go to the city lord's mansion."

After successfully capturing Huaiyuan, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood and strode forward.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the city lord's mansion. Li Yixie led a hundred imperial guardsmen and rushed in to clear out the remnants and ensure safety. Qin Huaidao said to Yuchi Baoqi: "Secure the gate, just in case."

"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baoqi responded quickly.
