Chapter 1636 Beheading Operation

"Going into town at night?"

All the bandit leaders' eyes lit up. They couldn't get close to the city during the day, but it was different at night.

"That's settled then. Let's rush into the city together tonight. We can't wait to die outside!"

The bandits gritted their teeth and said that they had seen the horror of Qi State and now the only way to survive was to flee to Baghdad and rely on the city's defense.

"We can run too!"

Someone spoke.

"run?"

Everyone started thinking about it immediately, and running seemed to be a good option.

"You can't run away. Saladin's army is just outside. They want us to fight to the death with Qi and make us consume Qi! He won't treat us as brothers!"

Han Shizhong immediately said that the bandits in the desert were engaged in murder and robbery, and no matter where they were, the rulers would not like them. Saladin must have wanted to take the opportunity to kill all these people.

"Into the city! Into the city!"

"Baghdad will be ours from now on!"

"We can build a kingdom too!"

The sand bandits shouted, "We are all desperate criminals. Who is willing to die for others?" Since Muktafi had attacked them and wanted them to die, they didn't have to worry about anything.

After the discussion, the bandits immediately got ready.

The bandits may not know how to fight, but they know how to plunder.

The bandit army was divided into two teams to attract the defenders on the city wall, making them think they were going to fight against the State of Qi.

But in fact, several thousand elite troops had gathered to prepare for a surprise attack on Baghdad at night.

Muktafi felt relieved when he saw the Sandy bandits who were blocking the enemy. He thought that everything was developing in the direction he expected. He just had to wait for the Sandy bandits and Qi to fight until both sides were exhausted, and then he could leave the city to reap the fruits of victory.

Night falls.

The defenders on the city wall of Baghdad began to doze off. The Qi army was not moving, and there were still 100,000 sand bandits outside the city. Even if Qi launched a surprise attack, it would be impossible for them to reach the city immediately, so the defenders on the city wall were not prepared at all.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei followed the bandits and quietly moved towards the city.

The bandits were wearing black robes, which were the best cover in the dark. They did not start crawling forward until they reached the foot of the city to avoid the fire.

The vanguard team quickly reached the foot of the city. They drew their daggers and used the special boots on the boat to start climbing up the city wall by following the cracks in the bricks and stones.

"These guys are still good!"

Han Shizhong looked at everything in front of him and said with a smile, he thought the sand bandits were nothing, but now it seems that these people are very good at stealing and cheating.

"That's nothing! If I were to lead someone, we could get up there in just two or three steps!"

Yue Fei said with disdain that he looked down upon the bandits' petty tricks. If it were him attacking the city, the special forces would be able to get there in a moment.

The bandits who climbed up the city wall immediately drew out their scimitars and started hacking and killing, and more followed suit.

"Let's go up too, these people are unreliable!"

Yue Fei led the special forces team to rush towards the city and climbed up the wall without any effort. However, they did not rush to kill the enemy, but went towards the city gate.

"Quickly eliminate the defenders and open the city gates!"

At Yue Fei's order, the special forces rushed down the city wall, killed all the soldiers guarding the city, and then opened the city gate.

Han Shizhong outside the city had already lit a fire and sent out a signal, and the bandits outside rushed over with cheers.

The other defenders on the city wall had not reacted yet. They had no idea what was happening.

"Quick, the city gate has been broken!"

The defending general reacted immediately and roared as he mobilized his troops to block the city gate.

But the bandits were faster. They were light cavalry and were well prepared. They rushed into the city before the defenders could block it.

When the sand bandits entered the city, the first thing they did was to burn, kill and loot. They killed anyone they saw, and when they got excited they started to set fire.

"These guys really are bandit-like creatures that are hard to change!" Yue Fei shook his head as he looked at the chaotic streets near the city gate.

"Let them be, let them do the things that are difficult for us to do!"

Han Shizhong smiled and said that the more chaotic the city was, the better it would be for them. It would be a hassle for them to handle such a big city.

Muktafi was awakened by the chaos in the city. He put on his clothes and hurried to the platform of the palace. He was shocked when he saw the streets turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"What's going on? Are the enemies breaking in?"

Muktafi quickly looked at the people around him and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's those sand bandits, they're charging in!"

Two of the officials said.

"Sand bandits, these guys deserve to die! Send a message to the army, kill them!"

When Muktafi heard that they were sand bandits, his panicked heart calmed down a little, as long as they were not the Qi army. But he immediately became angry because these sand bandits actually broke into the city.

Muktafi also asked someone to bring him armor and put it on, as he wanted to deal with those sand bandits himself.

Muktafi walked out of the palace with his elite soldiers, and he wanted to clear out the bandits in the city.

A group of officials and nobles also took to the streets with their elite troops.

"Out!"

Yue Fei was on the rooftop looking at the defenders who were gathering like a dragon. The bandits were a little slow in entering the city as the city gate was too narrow and it would take a long time for 100,000 bandits to enter the city.

The bandits who were burning, killing and looting were suppressed by the defenders, and Muktafi quickly suppressed the bandits with his elite troops.

However, the bandits did not fight the defenders head-on, and fled into the city through the streets and alleys.

Muktafi's face was gloomy. Although he had blocked the main force of the Sandy bandits, the war was getting more and more intense. He couldn't reach the city gate in a short time, and the Sandy bandits were still entering the city.

"You guys are looking for death!"

Muktafi pointed at the several leading sand bandit leaders and shouted.

"You want us to die, but we won't let you have it easy!"

The bandit leader also roared.

"Nonsense, who wants you to die? You just need to resist the enemy. Saladin will lead his army to attack Qi from behind. As long as you withdraw from the city, I promise that after the war, all countries will pardon your crimes and give you land!"

Muktafi made up an excuse to appease the sand bandits. It would be of no benefit to him to continue wasting time like this, and he had to stabilize these people first.

Yue Fei on the roof was holding a rifle and aiming at Muktafi.

With a gunshot, Muktafi's head exploded, blood and brain splattered.

As Muktafi fell to the ground, everyone was stunned. They were unable to think and had no idea who had assassinated Muktafi.

A few more gunshots were heard, and several leaders of the bandits fell to the ground.

"kill!"

The angry defenders roared, they believed that it was the sand bandits who assassinated Muktafi, and they wanted revenge.

The sand bandits were also enraged, and their leader was killed. It must have been the work of the opposing defenders.

"kill!"

The bandits also roared in anger.

The situation in the city was completely out of control. The defenders only wanted to kill all the bandits, while the bandits only wanted to destroy the entire city.

"Decapitation operation, just a few shots will solve it!"

Yue Fei smiled and said that once the leaders of both sides died, chaos would be completely unavoidable.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were not idle. They took their men to the imperial palace. Only after destroying that place would the city be truly destroyed.
