After resting and until it was completely dark, Xiao Yuan gave the order to set off again and led five hundred soldiers into the secret passage behind the waterfall.
After walking in the darkness for more than an hour, the group finally arrived at the dry well.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had stopped, and for some invisible reason, Peng Shuang behind him accidentally bumped into him. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you leave?"
"Shh!" Xiao Yuan whispered: "Now that we are inside the Moon City, we must keep silent so as not to alert the patrolling ghost soldiers."
Hearing this, the soldiers in the darkness stopped. Although they couldn't see their fingers, they still looked around subconsciously, and then held their breath and concentrated.
Peng Shuang's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "You can really come in, what should you do now?"
"I'll go up and check the situation first." Xiao Yuan said, then fumbled to take the rope from his waist, wound it twice and threw it upward.
The rope had a hook, and it made a soft sound after being thrown up. Xiao Yuan pulled it with his hand, and when he saw that it was hooked to the edge of the well, he also started to climb up along the rope.
He was very fast, holding the rope with both hands and kicking the well wall with his feet. In just a few clicks, he climbed up to the well mouth. Then he supported the edge of the well with both hands and exerted force, and he jumped up.
After coming up, he was not in a hurry, but carefully inspected the entire temple. After confirming that everything was correct, he returned to the well and whispered to the well: "Peng Shuang..."
Previously, after Xiao Yuan went up, there was no movement for a long time. Peng Shuang, who was below, had long been impatient. When he heard the soft call, he immediately became energetic and kicked up the well without using a rope. He jumped against the wall, leaped into the air, and jumped out of the dry well with three or two feet.
After he came out, he also took off the rope he had prepared before from his waist, and then threw it to the bottom of the well. He and Xiao Yuan began to help the soldiers below to climb up one by one.
Ordinary soldiers do not have the skills of the two of them. Even if there are two people pulling up, it will take a little time to climb up. After a few soldiers came up, Xiao Yuan immediately lowered his voice and ordered: "You guys, go Watch at the gate and come back immediately if there is anything unusual."
"Understood." Several soldiers responded. They were now within the Moon City. They were deep behind enemy lines, and everyone's nerves were tense.
Just like that, the five hundred soldiers climbed up from the dry well one by one. By the time everyone arrived, a long time had passed, and it was just past midnight.
Xiao Yuan looked up at the sky. There was no bright moon in the sky. Today's night was perfect for a night attack.
After taking a deep breath, he immediately waved his hand.
Five hundred soldiers, hunched over, quietly walked out of the abandoned temple.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the streets in Yue City due to the late night. The only ones that existed were ghost soldiers patrolling back and forth every once in a while.
On a street, five hundred soldiers were hiding behind various houses and did not move forward because not far ahead, a group of ghost soldiers were walking by leisurely.
There are six ghost soldiers in this group, divided into two rows, with three people in each row. Each one holds a spear in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Peng Shuang behind Xiao Yuan also asked in a low voice: "Will everything be fine after they leave?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan recalled in his mind the gaps and time between patrols of each team of ghost soldiers, and then shook his head slightly: "No, this team of ghost soldiers must be dealt with, otherwise, we will not be able to reach the city gate. ."
After finishing speaking, he added: "If we kill him directly, we will definitely alert other ghost armies..."
Having said this, he also turned to look at Peng Shuang and whispered: "You and I, are you sure?"
Peng Shuang tilted his head and glanced at the ghost army who was still in sight, and said directly: "Leave the three on the right to me."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan also spoke neatly. As soon as he finished speaking, he began to slowly draw out the sword from his waist and stood up.
Then, he pressed his hands on the other soldiers behind him, signaling everyone to hide and not move, while he and Peng Shuangqing quietly lurked over.
When the other hidden soldiers saw this, they all became angry and did not dare to speak out. They all stared at Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang with wide eyes, extremely nervous.
The two separated from the two sides, making almost no sound, and quietly arrived behind the group of ghost soldiers.
The six ghost soldiers continued to walk forward, not looking around at all. They all had relaxed expressions on their faces and seemed to be chatting about something.
One of them said: "Huh? Don't tell me, this Central Plains woman is a water spirit, her skin can squeeze out water... (Ghost language)"
As a result, before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth from behind, and a cold sharp weapon penetrated his chest directly from his back.
The tip of the knife was dripping blood, and although the ghost soldier was struggling, he couldn't make a sound at all.
After silently killing one person behind him, Xiao Yuan looked at Peng Shuang and saw the same.
At this time, the ghost soldiers in front did not look back, so they did not know that their companions behind were dead and were still walking forward. At the same time, one person also started to chat: "Yes, there are so many young people in Yuecheng alone." Beautiful woman, I don’t know how many other big cities there are in the Central Plains behind me, and the general quickly ordered us to capture Liucheng..."
It was a knife covering the mouth again, but this time, it was directly wiped on the neck!
"Hey? Why aren't you talking?" The ghost soldier at the front asked aloud, and then turned around.
But as soon as he turned around, before he could react, Xiao Yuan swung his sword horizontally and swept his head off with a single blow.
Blood sprayed out from his neck, and his head fell to the ground.
At this moment, all six ghost troops have been eliminated. Xiao Yuan breathed out a sigh and gestured towards his own soldiers.
Everyone understood, and several soldiers immediately ran over and began to drag away the corpses on the street.
Because it was dark night, the blood stains on the ground were not easy to find, so after simply disposing of the body, Xiao Yuan quietly lurked toward the city gate with five hundred soldiers.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of patrolling soldiers, but because a group of ghost soldiers had been eliminated, there was enough gap between them for Xiao Yuan and the others to use the patrol gap to reach the city gate.
On the Moon City defense, every two steps, there are ghost troops standing, and the torches are brightly lit.
After arriving here, if you want to open the city gate from the inside, you must fight head-on.
Xiao Yuan immediately stopped hiding his whereabouts, straightened up directly, and drew out his sword with a stabbing sound.
Hearing the noise, a ghost soldier immediately shouted at the city gate: "Who is this!"
"Fire the arrow!" Xiao Yuan said nothing, and walked forward aggressively, pointing his sword forward.
