Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Are they the liars who keep saying they have the protection of the Dragon Lady?!"

"Who knows what's going on? These days are tough! Everywhere there are people who are rebelling under the banner of the Son of Destiny, the Lord of All Things, or gods descending to earth. Who knows whether they are true or false? Instead of worrying about this, it's better to think about whether the county magistrate will deduct money from our dinner today. I rely on this meal to survive..."

"That's true, what does this have to do with us?"

The two chatted intermittently, but they didn't know that several figures were sneaking into the shadow of the city wall in the corner.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 376 Chapter Lurking at Midnight and the City Gate Opens

These figures were the scouts sent out to gather information.

The scouts hid secretly in the corners of the walls, and circled the city wall without being noticed by the patrolling officers and soldiers above. After they had gathered most of the information, they met up with each other and returned to where the Longting Army was stationed.

"Sir, the gates of Heshan County are closed, and the number of people patrolling above is approximately..."

Following the scout's report, Zhang Huan and Qing Lan were thoughtful.

"So there aren't many soldiers patrolling the city walls?"

Qinglan asked.

"Yes, sir! Based on the sound of footsteps and their voices, we sisters estimate that there are not too many people. No more than twenty people on each wall?"

"Twenty people? So few."

If we count the maximum number of people, there were only about 80 patrolling officers and soldiers. The city wall of Heshan County is about several kilometers long. There were only so few people on such a long wall. I don't know if they were careless or just didn't take it seriously.

Qinglan was a little surprised, but unexpectedly, Zhang Huan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Twenty people are not a small number. How many officers and soldiers do you think a small county has? When there is no natural disaster, a few hundred people are considered good. In the current situation of hunger, the number of officers and soldiers will inevitably be greatly reduced. After all, even if they receive relief food, they can't support so many officers and soldiers. I think Heshan County can only have more than 200 officers and soldiers at most, and it is impossible to have more."

Zhang Huan said as a matter of course.

"Two hundred people? Two hundred people dare to provoke us? Don't they know the number of refugees pouring into Longting County from their place? What gives them such confidence?"

Qinglan was surprised.

"That's not the case. First, they probably didn't expect that Longting County not only had enough food but also that people could eat and wear warm clothes. Second, there were many cases in history where a hundred soldiers defeated a thousand refugees. After all, unarmed refugees would be a mob at best, with no discipline, no morale, and no weapons. I think they probably thought it was the same here! Besides, they were defending the gate, so they were naturally arrogant."

"But this is also due to the county's reporting system, which has caused the spies sent by these people to be useless and the news cannot be passed on."

Zhang Huan said with a gloating look.

"Lord Lan, what do you think we should do next? Since they trust their weapons and the city gates so much, why don't we make a siege cone and charge in?"

"No, wait till night..."

"At night? Do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course there is..."

Qinglan nodded.

"From what you said before, the treatment of officers and soldiers doesn't seem to be very good. Many officers and soldiers suffer from night blindness at night, right?"

"What is this? I heard from adults that this is due to malnutrition."

Zhang Huan pinched his chin and thought. In the past, he didn't know why some people were night blind and some were not. He thought it was due to physical constitution, but after hearing what the adults said, he suddenly realized the common point: those who were not night blind generally had good living conditions.

Previously, Zhang Huan was the commander of the county army. He ate and drank well, so he did not have this symptom. However, many of his officers and soldiers were night blind, probably because of malnutrition.

"That's it"

Qinglan smiled.

"They are malnourished and suffer from night blindness, while our army is well-nourished. Night is a favorable environment for us. They need to hold torches, but we don't. With one gaining and the other losing, we will have the upper hand. Maybe we can break through the city gate without bloodshed?"

Looking at Qinglan's confident eyes, Zhang Huan nodded.

"Then let's do as you say! We'll take action at night..."

……

……

It was late at night and everything was quiet. The torches on the city wall were dimly visible. Looking outside the city wall beside the torchlight, the only thing one could see was deep darkness because of the obstruction of the gray clouds.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall were shaking their bodies as they patrolled boredly. On the city wall, Shangguan Baiguan was sitting around the fire and yawning in a shameless manner, as if he was feeling sleepy.

Little did they know that in a corner that they could not see, a dozen figures quietly came to the foot of the city wall and took out tools from packages.

"No wonder some of your soldiers carry a package behind them. It turns out that this thing is inside... But can they really climb up? Can they really throw the hook up to a wall that is more than ten meters high?"

Zhang Huan and Qing Lan hid far away in the hidden bushes with the main force, watching the figures moving around in the corner.

Facing Zhang Huan's slightly suspicious tone, Zai Qing just glanced at him lightly, which made him feel uncomfortable for a moment, and then he looked away.

"Have you forgotten the scene where my people took on several people alone? Just because your people are not good doesn't mean mine are not good. After all, they have received special training."

At the corner of the wall, a dozen people listened to the patrol's sound and the fire gradually fading away, then took out a rope with an iron hook from the package, left enough distance, rotated it in their hands, and then when the time was right, they aimed at the opportunity and target and threw it hard at the city wall.

pat.

Pull the rope tight.

The black hook easily hooked onto the city wall.

"Hey! I say, you didn't hear any sound just now!?"

Suddenly, an officer who had just left not far away asked his companion.

Hearing the conversation on the city wall, the figures below gestured to each other and quickly squatted down and hid.

"Hmm? What's that sound? You must have heard it wrong..."

"It's so windy in the middle of the night that people can't think straight. I think you're too sleepy. Go on patrol and play a few rounds before you change people."

"Too."

As the voices gradually faded away, it took a long time before the figure began to move.

"no problem!"

After making a gesture to his companions around him, the figure began to climb up the rope like rock climbing. After a while, he climbed up the city wall along the rope like a nimble cat.

After the first one came the second one. After the first person had completely climbed up, the second person followed closely and climbed up the city wall.

He climbed up the city wall and walked quietly towards the patrolling soldiers.

"Ok?"

The patrolling officer felt something strange and subconsciously wanted to turn back, but before he could react, he felt a pain in his neck and passed out.

"Next"

The figure quickly dropped his hands and headed for the next target.

Outside the city, Zhang Huan, who had been waiting for a long time and was feeling a little restless, was just about to speak to ease his anxiety.

crunch--

It was the sound of the city gate opening, and a figure slipped out and waved to the group of people.

"The door is open!"

Zhang Huan stood up in surprise.

"The city gate is open! Get ready to charge! Charge!!"

"Come on!"

The shouts and cries of killing shook the heavens, and suddenly woke up the patrolling officers and soldiers! They looked around and saw a sea of ​​heads outside the city, and the city gate was actually open!

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! The city gate has been opened!"

Screams rang out, and the light of the fire flickered, breaking the silence of the night.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 377 Chapter Entering the City to Encircle and Suppress Hu Zhuo's Escape

As the troops rushed into the city gate one after another, the Longting Army fought with the officers and soldiers who rushed over in panic.

Sparks flew and the sounds of swords and guns clashing were extremely loud in the darkness. However, how could the officers and soldiers who rushed over in a hurry resist the high-spirited Longting Army holding sharp blades?

"No killing for surrendering! No killing for surrendering!"

As the sound was heard, the officers and soldiers realized that the situation was not right. They had no power to resist at all. In addition, the attacking troops did not want their lives, so they quickly threw their weapons on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.

"I surrender! I surrender, don't kill me!"

With the sound of weapons falling to the ground, the Longting soldiers who were surrounding him stopped immediately, and those who surrendered were subdued immediately.

Someone took the lead, and the officers and soldiers saw that those who surrendered were not harmed. So, like a gust of wind blowing, the sound of weapons falling to the ground rang out one after another, and all the officers and soldiers gradually dropped their weapons and raised their hands to express their surrender.

Are you kidding? If they continue fighting, they will all die. Who doesn't want to live? Since these people said they won't kill them, they naturally don't need to risk their lives!

After a while, the noise gradually stopped. Except for a few who died in the raid, almost all the officers and soldiers chose to surrender and not resist.

Seeing this, the Longting Army split into two parts, one part guarded the prisoners, while the other went to the county government office to capture the magistrate of Heshan County.

The sound of the team running was extremely obvious in the dark, but no one in the houses around the street dared to open the door or turn on the lights.

After all, if you bump into anything in the shouting and yelling, you won't even know how you died. So, even if you were woken up, the county residents only dared to secretly watch the situation outside through the cracks in the doors and windows, and did not dare to join in the fun openly.

This also made things much easier for the Longting Army. They didn't have to worry about any troubles arising at that time. They just had to capture a soldier leader and let him lead the way to the county government office.

The rest of the people counted the casualties and the number of people, and calculated the specific circumstances of this short battle.

At this time, Kato Megumi walked slowly from outside the city. She was wearing a white and gold dress and was like a goddess in the dark night. Even the hazy night could not conceal her light. At this moment, she was calm and walked to Qinglan's side.

Looking away, looking at the rows of kneeling and tied-up officers and soldiers, Kato Megumi frowned and asked Qinglan who was standing beside her.

"What are the casualties?"

"Sir, this attack was very successful. Except for a few who were stabbed due to panic, the rest of the Dragon Court Army was intact."

Qinglan replied.

"We have counted the officers and soldiers who surrendered in Heshan County. Excluding the five who died, there are a total of 183 prisoners. We have recovered 30 spears and 153 machetes!"

Hearing that there were no casualties, Kato Megumi's eyes softened and she praised.

"It's good that there are no casualties. Although it's the first battle, it can be said to be not bad."

Hearing the praise, Qinglan had a smile on his face and felt slightly happy.

Then Kato Megumi looked around and asked again.

"Where's Zhang Huan? Why can't I see him?"

"Master Zhang Huan has just led his troops to siege the county government office. I believe he will be back soon. You can wait for his news here. There will be good news soon."

Qinglan said.

This battle was carried out in one go, from sneaking in to opening the door to attacking, the Longting Army basically went smoothly. These officers and soldiers were captured effortlessly. The county government should also resolve the battle quickly, so there is nothing to worry about.

However, unexpectedly, not long after, the news that came was not good news, but news that the Heshan County magistrate Hu Zhuo had escaped.

"Escaped? How is that possible?"

Qinglan was slightly stunned.

"Master Zhang brought several hundred Dragon Court soldiers with him, and we attacked them unexpectedly. Logically, the enemy should not have received the news, and the encirclement should have been smooth, right? How could they be let go?"

You have to know that all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle at the city gate surrendered. After listening to the confessions of these people, Qinglan was sure that no one had tipped off the enemy. In this case, how could the other party escape? Could this guy have predicted the future?

"Lord Lan, the magistrate of Heshan County escaped through the tunnel. By the time our commander found him, he had already disappeared without a trace."

The soldier who came back to report the news explained.

It turned out that when Zhang Huan sent people to surround the county government office, Hu Zhuo and his guards had already noticed it. Zhang Huan broke in, and the other side also knew that the situation was hopeless, so they left some guards behind to fight to the death, while he himself slipped away through the tunnel early with his trusted men.

Influenced by the previous battle at the city gate, Zhang Huan felt that bloodshed should be avoided if possible. Therefore, after he was sure that the enemy had no way to leave during the encirclement and suppression, he wanted to shout to these guards to lay down their weapons and surrender.

The group of guards left behind by Hu Zhuo were not his confidants. After finding that they were unstoppable after a few words from Zhang Huan, they quickly raised their hands in surrender. However, when Zhang Huan broke into the city, he found that Hu Zhuo was gone. The enemy had already left the city through a tunnel. At the other end of the tunnel was a covered bush. Because it was late at night, there was no guidance of footsteps or direction, so there was no way to know where the enemy had escaped, so he could only send soldiers back to report.

"He just escaped like that? What a pity..."
