C59 A Night Attack on Gruel

Night, quiet to the horror. Qingtian secretly led his cavalry to the outskirts of Gruul. All the horses had their mouths lit up and their hooves were wrapped in cloth. He tried his best not to make any noise. Thousands of people quietly hid outside the city.

Atlas and his men were lying in ambush very close, and they could vaguely see what was happening on top of the city tower from below. A few soldiers were chatting idly. "Duke, can we really do this? Although the defense of this city is not very tight, it is still a border town. How can we take it down so easily? Isn't it too risky for us to do this?" The commander of the cavalry is called Wesley. He's in his thirties this year and doesn't have any background. He relied entirely on his own strength to climb to his current position. He was very puzzled by Atlas's proposal.

"Hehe, Wesley, you're being too cautious. Soldier, Arcane. Only by surprise can one win. I want to do something that no one can think of. Only by taking down this place can Xigang Mountain be permanently safe. Only by doing so can we ensure that the mine won't be easily attacked by the Menes. Taking down this city, they could attack and defend within a hundred mile radius. It was like a nail piercing into the body of the Menes. It will make them feel pain forever. " Qingtian really liked this knight. He fought bravely and was very careful when doing things. It's just that he's a bit reserved.

"Don't worry, we are all cavalry. Even if we can't take them down, we can run away. We don't have to worry about any problems. Besides, the army behind us is already nearby. They would arrive tomorrow morning. At that time, even if Menes received the news... It was also impossible for them to rush over to help before the army took down the Gruul. By the time they arrive here, the flag of Art has already been inserted into the wall. " Tian Qingtian was full of confidence. Although he knew that it was a bit risky. However, if he succeeded, the benefits he would gain would be immeasurable.

Wesley said that he understood and then went back to making arrangements. Atlas was still patiently waiting for Novi and the others to make a move.

After a long time, midnight was about to pass, and even Atlas was starting to get impatient. "What's going on? Could it be that they made some mistakes? It can't be. With their strength, even if they were discovered... We can still escape safely." Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion in the city.

In the city not far away, some faint sparks of fire appeared. And it seemed to be everywhere. "It's done!" As he waited for the result, Qingtian couldn't help but feel delighted. "Everyone, listen up. Get on your horses and get ready." Tian Qingtian said in a low voice.

"Shua!" Thousands of people stepped onto the horse almost at the same time. "Once the city gates are opened later, we will immediately charge in. Each unit will be led by their commander. You should know what we will do after we enter. " After saying that, Qingtian called Ray over. They flew into the sky. Because the fire in the city was very serious, and many places were on fire. So, the soldiers on the city walls didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. All of them only cared about looking into the city.

Just as their attention was still on the burning buildings, sharp blades silently appeared behind them! "Puff!" Almost at the same time, the soldiers on the city walls had their throats slit. Atlas could see clearly from the sky and nodded in satisfaction. "Looks like Novi and the others are very good at seizing opportunities. The city gate is about to open." Just as he was thinking, the door creaked open.

Wesley raised his big sword and pointed it at the city gate. "Brave warriors of Art, the opportunity to make a name for themselves has arrived. For honor, let's go! " Saying so, he took the lead and rushed over. The thousands of cavalry behind him also followed him into the city in an orderly manner.

The sudden situation caught the garrison troops unprepared. Apart from the soldiers on night duty. Most of the people were sleeping, and they heard the sounds of fighting outside. They hurriedly ran out. Some of them did not even take out their weapons. Some of them were not even properly dressed, and some of them did not even understand what was going on. Then, their heads were separated from their bodies.

"Enemy attack!" When Art's cavalry charged into the city, most of them reacted. Many soldiers and officers were organizing a resistance. But how could they be a match for the Art cavalry that had been prepared for a long time? In just a few steps, they were forced to retreat in defeat. At the same time, Novi and Rudy stood on the roof, holding the heads of the garrison generals and the city lord respectively. They shouted, "Soldiers of Menes, listen up. Your commander and the city lord have been killed by us. Their heads are here. Art's army had already entered the city. Those who didn't want to die put down their weapons and surrendered. Otherwise, kill them all!"

Seeing the heads of their own generals and city lords in their hands, some of the soldiers had already begun to stop resisting. As for those who were still resisting, their lives were still being reaped by the cavalry. "Hmph hmph, looks like it won't work if we don't add fuel to the fire." As he thought of this, Qingtian waved his hand and sent several bolts of lightning down. In an instant, the dozens of Menes garrison soldiers were charred black. At this moment, it was as if they had seen a signal. The mage group, which had been lying in ambush for a long time, had launched its attack.

More than twenty mages' meteor shower accurately hit the garrison's camp. "Boom! Boom!" After a burst of smoke. The originally solid camp was now beyond recognition. Being hit by a meteor shower, there were people covered in flames everywhere. In just a few minutes, over a thousand people lost their lives again. Seeing this scene, the defending troops of Gruul completely lost their confidence. They put down their weapons and surrendered.

"Haha, it's still the same as before." Seeing that the situation was settled, Qingtian carried Ray and flew into the city.

"Confiscate all the soldiers' weapons and keep an eye on them. Divide out a battalion of people to search the city to see if there are any missing enemies. After discovering them, if they don't surrender, kill them immediately. They also split up another unit to bring the prisoners to put out the fire. They would try their best to calm the hearts of the people and not have any conflicts with ordinary people. Rudy brought 100 of his brothers outside the city to stop the people from Menes who were delivering the letters. After discovering them, he killed them all. He closed the door. Take over an important location." Tian Qingtian issued out orders one after another, and his subordinates immediately got busy.

A successful surprise attack. Sky High had already sent Novi and the others to intercept the merchant group that was about to enter the city and pretended to be mercenaries. He had sneaked into the city. In the middle of the night, they first killed the city lord and the enemy commander. First, he would make sure that they did not have a leader or a commander. Then, they sent a signal for the mages to destroy the enemy's camp. Because it was night time, many soldiers wouldn't come out so quickly. This way, many people would be killed. Moreover, it would cause panic in the other party's heart. Coupled with the ferocious momentum of the cavalry, the other party would definitely not be able to bear it. He surrendered. This would save them a lot of trouble. His own casualties would also be reduced.

"What I need to do now is wait for reinforcements tomorrow morning. At that time, there will be at least 10,000 people, and the task of defending the city will be given to them. Yours Truly can relax a little too. It's really tiring to scheme all day long!" Atlas thought non-stop from the sky.

Just like that, Tian Qingtian successfully took down the Gruul. For a moment, the name of Art's "Miraculous General" spread like wildfire.
