It was night, the moon and stars were sparse.

Under the rolling mountains, the ancient city wall is silent.

Scattered torches on the tower illuminated the mountain tops and the night sky.

Dengcheng is a small city with only tens of thousands of permanent residents and only a thousand soldiers.

The thousand-man army has reached the upper limit of what this city can accommodate.

Therefore, the number of government troops participating in the defense on the city wall was very small, only a few dozen.

There hasn't been a war here for too long.

Life is very comfortable.

The guarding government troops also relaxed their vigilance.

At this time, several black shadows slowly moved along the dark side of the mountain to the bottom of the city.

"Sir, are you really not bringing any soldiers, just us?"

Several centurions looked at the towering city wall with great anxiety.

Cao Su responded with a carbine.

Taking advantage of the darkness, I brought all the force realm centurions in the team.

Except for those injured like Li Li.

"You know what the hell, have you ever heard of special forces? Have you ever heard of beheading operations?"

Cao Su cursed in a low voice, and the centurion was sprayed bloody.

The key point is that I really don’t understand what Cao Su means. A few words can be said to be unheard of.

I still suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated and was scolded speechlessly.

They always feel that it is unreliable, so they come to attack the city with such a small number of people?

"You guys listen to my orders and don't run around."

"After climbing on the wall, hide your body as soon as possible."

Cao Su gave a few final instructions, waited for the thick clouds in the sky to cover the moonlight, then suddenly exerted his strength and climbed up the hillside.

Although the city here is built in the mountains, it occupies a favorable location.

But at the same time, it also gives some opportunities to climbing enthusiasts.

Without any protective measures, and relying solely on a pair of iron hands, I easily found a winding and upward climbing path on the steep mountain wall.

Cao Su used his hands and feet to quickly reach the same height of the city wall.

Then he floated to the ground and arrived at Dengcheng.

The people behind him followed suit, avoiding the defenders on the city wall, and quietly entered the city.

"Captain Cao has always been straightforward. Unexpectedly, he also has a lot of research on the matter of infiltration."

Several people looked at Cao Su's familiarity with the car and secretly laughed.

Cao Su was not familiar with climbing the city, but it did not prevent him from seeing the tallest building in the city at a glance.

"Come with me."

Cao Su shouted in a low voice and counted the number of people.

Zhang Ke, Luo Yi... a total of nine Centurions of the Strength Realm in their prime came.

The tallest building in the city is a restaurant.

This restaurant was opened by Lingzhou merchants to entertain merchants and warriors from the north and south.

There was a curfew in the city and the restaurants had already closed.

After Cao Su touched the bottom, he gestured to everyone.

Everyone understood and squatted downstairs waiting for him.

Cao Su took a deep breath, raised his breath and jumped forward.

He jumped to the highest point of the restaurant easily.

From the highest point of the restaurant, you can overlook the entire city, and the terrain of all the streets in the city is clear at a glance.

In the very center area, a brightly lit building spot caught Cao Su's attention.

In a small town with a curfew, the place that can be so bright in the middle of the night must be the city lord's mansion.

Most of the city lord's palaces are located in the very center of the city.

The same is true for Pingcheng. The city lord's palace is in the very center of the inner city.

Cao Su estimated the distance, took note of the direction, and then jumped down from the building.

The centurions hiding under his command appeared one after another.

"follow me!"

Cao Su waved, and the centurions jumped up one after another and followed him.

.........

City Lord's Mansion.

It's heavily guarded.

Shi Tan, the city lord of Dengcheng, was a literati city lord.

Unlike Wei Tao, the former lord of Pingcheng, Shi Tan was a civil servant who did not know martial arts and was a serious scholar.

Although he did not practice martial arts, Shi Tan had read thousands of books and had a great reputation. Not long after he became an official, he came to Dengcheng to serve as an official.

Although Dengcheng is small, it is also the first stop for Shi Tan to display his ambition.

Because he has never practiced martial arts, Shi Tan takes his own safety protection more seriously.

During his reign, he vigorously promoted some poor generals.

Dengcheng is a place where the powerful and powerful sects are weak. There are no top powers, and it is easy for the upstarts from poor families to obtain more resources.

Qian Darong, a yellow-haired man in the daytime, was the military commander Shi Tan had single-handedly promoted in the past two years.

Therefore, Qian Darong also obeyed Shi Tan's advice.

The City Lord's Mansion can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire city. There are more than a hundred warriors from the palace army on the outer floor alone.

In addition, in the city lord's palace, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

The government army set up a dragnet and tried their best to ensure the safety of the city lord.

The city lord does not know martial arts and has weak self-protection ability, which is indeed a headache.

But not all scholars are like Shi Tan.

Some scholars, once they enter the Tao, will also have some strange magical powers.

Not only the self-protection ability is greatly increased, but also the combat effectiveness is very strong.

At this time, in the city lord's palace, Shi Tan, dressed as a scribe, was ready to rest.

Cao Su and his centurions just arrived outside the city lord's palace.

"Sir, how do you find the city lord with so many rooms?"

"After all, he is an official of the imperial court, so he can't just cut him off with a knife, right?"

"I suspect that the yellow-haired man was causing trouble during the day and deliberately blocking our way."

"How about we spend some money on the road? How can we spend even a little money on this kind of thing? It doesn't cost much."

The centurions whispered among themselves.

That means they haven't learned how to transmit sounds into secrets yet.

Otherwise, Cao Su's radio station would be operating at full capacity at this time.

"Okay, just say a few words."

"In my opinion, it doesn't need to be so complicated. Let's just rush in, kill and slash everyone we see, and make them turn upside down and bleed like rivers. Are we afraid that we won't be able to force out a city lord?"

Zhang Ke's mischievous temper broke out and he put forward constructive suggestions.

Everyone focused their attention on Cao Su. In the final analysis, they still had to obey the boss's orders.

Cao Su said silently: "No one should act rashly. Don't act rashly without my order."

"We are here to find a solution, not to resort to violence."

"But you should also be prepared for the worst. In my opinion, the guard who ascended the city has ulterior motives, and the city lord here should not be much better."

"I'll go first. After entering, I'll raise my glass as a sign of honor... Forget it, you can't hear me. If there is no movement within a stick of incense after I enter, you can start digging in from the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

Try to get people... without disturbing them."
