Chapter 305: Swinging Into Action After Midnight
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Xiaoyao quickly demonstrated the moves.
After that, she began to break down each move and got her team members to follow her actions.
After recovering from the shock just now, the team members learned very diligently.
Even Liu Hong and the few soldiers he brought along could not help but start mimicking the moves as they stood by the side.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t interfere and let them be when she noticed them.
After that, Qin Xiaoyao only taught them three times, and her team members had already memorized all the moves.
Qin Xiaoyao was quite pleased with this result.
“The moves are only the external form. Only after you’re familiar with them can you deploy them flexibly and create the intent,” Qin Xiaoyao said to the crowd.
“Just like the Liao-style saber technique 1 taught you earlier, if you want to maximize the function of the tri-daggers, you need to master it and deploy it flexibly according to the actual situation.
“Of course, there’s a procedure to this.
“But I believe that it won’t take too long.
“Because you’re members of the Special Forces Team, the dagger specialists team. There are many opportunities for actual combat and to gain experience.”
At this point, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Huang Fei and the rest who were nodding their heads.
“I’m sure you guys already know Huang Fei and his brothers.
“They didn’t learn the Liao-style saber technique much earlier than you guys did.
“But it’s precisely because they’ve experienced more actual combat that their combat strength has risen rapidly.
“Now, putting aside other considerations, let’s just talk about saber techniques alone. I’m afraid not many of you are their match.”
The members of the Special Forces Team exchanged glances with one another, then they turned to look at Huang Fei and the others, who were standing with their heads held high and chests puffed out. The members all agreed with Qin Xiaoyao’s words in their hearts.
This afternoon, when the Special Forces Team was first established, some of the members were not willing to take orders from Huang Fei and the others and decided to challenge them.
At that point, Huang Fei deployed the Liao-style saber technique. As the saber technique’s killing intent was too strong, he almost caused trouble.
However, it was also because they had witnessed the power of the saber technique that everyone was finally convinced.
Then, for the entire afternoon, they did nothing but practice saber techniques with Huang Fei and the others and listen to them talk about Colonel Qin.
After practicing for an entire afternoon, they had already memorized the moves of the Liao-style saber technique by heart.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have the chance to try it out.
This was because this saber technique was too formidable, and it was a killing move the moment it was deployed.
It was not practical to use it against their own people, so it could only be used on the enemy.
However, it was all good now. According to Colonel Qin, she was going to take them on a mission tonight.
Hmph! When they reached the battlefield, they would let those Liao scumbags witness the power of their saber technique.
When she saw everyone’s reaction, Qin Xiaoyao knew that Huang Fei and the others had already established their authority. She was extremely pleased.
“Next, I want you to continue to focus on practicing the Liao-style saber. The tri-daggers will be used as a backup.
“Also, be ready at any time to move out together with me!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
As soon as she said that, all the eyes of the Special Forces Team members lit up.
“Yes, Colonel!” Their voices were extremely excited.
However, Liu Hong’s expression changed.
He wanted to say something, but he didn’t go forward.
After Qin Xiaoyao left, Liu Hong quickly followed her.
“Colonel Qin, you’re also going to participate in the operation as well?” he asked worriedly.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at Liu Hong.
“Mm-hmm,” she responded.
“These 34 people are the elites of the army. Losing even one of them is a huge loss.
“It’s their first battle. 1 have to accompany them.”
“But…” Liu Hong instinctively tried to stop her.
“Don’t worry. There are only four to five hundred Liao soldiers outside the town.
“The thousands of Liao soldiers in the Liao army camp couldn’t stop me. What can these few people do to me?
“If they put in more effort, do you believe that we can slaughter all the Liao soldiers outside the town with just the 35 of us?” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Liu Hong with a smile.
It was only four to five hundred Liao soldiers. It was really not that many.
If her teammates from her previous life were here, she wouldn’t even need more than 30 people. Just seven or eight people would be enough to end the battle.
Moreover, the other party probably wouldn’t even realize that something had happened until halfway through the massacre.
Liu Hong was surprised and a little doubtful of Qin Xiaoyao’s words.
However, when he recalled that Qin Xiaoyao had indeed taken the life of the leader of the Liao army while under attack by more than 1000 people, he chose to believe her.
Forget it. Since nothing would happen to Colonel Qin, let her be.
At most, when the situation turned disadvantageous, he would lead the troops to rescue them.
In any case, the distance between the two sides was not far and the number of Liao soldiers was not that big.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw Liu Hong’s expression, she knew that he did not believe her.
She didn’t explain further but simply smiled and left.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t believe her. When the deed was accomplished and the facts were laid out in front of him, he would believe her.
After dinner, night fell gradually.
Sure enough, the Liao army outside the town did not attack the town.
When she saw that there were even campfires for cooking in the camp outside the town, Qin Xiaoyao knew what was going on.
After settling her military duties, she went to the drill ground again.
On the drill ground, the Special Forces Team members were already rubbing their hands in anticipation.
Qin Xiaoyao finally brought them the good news that they would be taking action at midnight.
“Change into the Liao people’s clothes and sneak out of the town with me. We will catch the Liao army off guard and slay them all,” Qin Xiaoyao instructed.
“Yes, Colonel!” The Special Forces Team members quickly changed their clothes.
Previously, they had heard Huang Fei and the others talk about how they had disguised themselves as Liao soldiers and killed countless Liao scumbags.
Now that it was their turn, how could they not be excited?
After everyone got started, Qin Xiaoyao took out a red scarf and tied it around her neck.
“If you wear a red scarf around your neck, it means you’re one of us.
“When the time comes, don’t go crazy and fight with your own people,” she reminded them.
“Hahahaha…” The team members exploded into laughter.
They then followed Qin Xiaoyao’s action and tied the red scarf around their necks.
When the preparations were complete, Qin Xiaoyao then briefed everyone on the upcoming combat arrangements.
They would probably lower a rope down from the North Town Gate and then sneak into the campsite of the Liao army.
They had to eliminate as many Liao soldiers as possible without alerting the enemy.
If they were discovered by the Liao army, they would form teams of five and launch a massacre.
In short, the goal of the Special Forces Team tonight was to slaughter all the Liao soldiers outside the town. They were to show their comrades within the town the strength of their team.
Qin Xiaoyao’s final sentence was like a shot of steroids for the members of the Special Forces Team.
All of them were extremely excited after being motivated and felt that they would be able to make a name for themselves tonight.
“If we win this battle, the military merits will be awarded based on the number of kills, which is the same as in the past. After our triumphant return, I will report to Colonel Chu and reward everyone according to their contributions!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
“Yes, Colonel!” Everyone responded in unison.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded her head in satisfaction and continued to say a few more words to her team members.
When it was almost time, she led the team members to the North Town Tower.
Then, at the designated time, they immediately sprang into action.
Several ropes were lowered from the top of the town wall.
Qin Xiaoyao, Huang Fei, and the others took the lead and nimbly slid down the town gate tower.
The rest of the team members were also agile and followed them.
After reaching the ground, they moved swiftly and hid in the dark, creeping toward the Liao army camp.
The Liao army camp was only about a thousand feet away from the North Town Gate. The Special Forces Team arrived in a short while.
After Qin Xiaoyao arrived, she immediately shot out several flying needles and killed the sentries outside the Liao army camp.
Thereafter, she led the Special Forces Team members and successfully sneaked into the Liao army camp..
