Then, the tri-dagger shot toward the Deputy Vanguard General who was fleeing.
The tri-dagger tore through the air and quickly stabbed into the back of the Deputy Vanguard General’s head.
The Deputy Vanguard General of the Liao army, who was still fleeing moments earlier, collapsed just like that.
Qin Xiaoyao was overjoyed when she saw this.
Then, she roared out loudly, “The Deputy Vanguard General is dead! You guys still want to resist?”
As soon as she said that, many Liao soldiers started to flee in panic.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t care about the fleeing soldiers. She turned around and walked toward the outside of the campsite.
The Liao army had lost their commander and a large number of generals and was utterly routed and dispersed. The danger faced by North Town was considered resolved.
When she rushed back to the town, it was already dawn.
The Jin State’s army was waving banners and cheering from the top of the town gate tower, welcoming Qin Xiaoyao’s return.
This battle made Qin Xiaoyao famous.
The name Qin Xiaoyao had become the Liao army’s nightmare.
Chu Jin personally came from the south of the town to receive Qin Xiaoyao.
He expressed his admiration and gratitude.
“The Liao army at the north of the town has been defeated and the soldiers have fled. The army in the south of the town has to go after the fleeing soldiers and bring them back to stabilize the morale of the army. They don’t have the time to give us trouble for the time being.”
It was also because of this that he dared to leave the southern part of the town to come and check on the situation in the north.
“Mm-hmm. This is a good outcome,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
“It’s a pity that the difference in numbers between them and us is too great. We weren’t able to completely annihilate the Liao army outside the town.
“Sigh… This present outcome is already very good.
“The effect is better when we cripple them and make them fearful, shaking their morale thoroughly than to kill them all.”
“Haha! It’s better to give the Liao army in the south of the town something to do than to let them keep an eye on us all the time!” Chu Jin said with a laugh.
The current predicament of the Liao army was more tenuous than theirs.
At least they were in the town, so they didn’t have to worry about food supply for a while.
However, the Liao army had no food rations. Secondly, their commander had been killed, and there were many deserters.
No matter which of these two things happened, it was enough to give the surviving generals of the Liao army a big headache.
Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and felt that it made sense.
“That’s true.”
Chu Jin laughed heartily again.
“Haha! Don’t think about the Liao scumbags for the time being. Teacher, since you have made another great contribution, I’ll treat you to a good meal!” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Chu Jin with a smile and cupped her hands in thanks.
“Then I have to thank Colonel Chu!”
“This is what I should do, what 1 should!”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the heart of the town.
They went to a restaurant, drank copious wine, and ate plenty of meat. They had a carefree good time.
Qin Xiaoyao was even more pleased when she learned that the army had also arranged good food for the Special Forces Team. All the Special Forces Team members who had participated in the mission were also given their rightful military merits.
“Teacher, your Special Forces Team is a real treasure. It’s a pity that there’s only one team.
“If there’s another team like this, even if it’s just one more, I won’t be afraid even if the Liao army sends another 2000 more people!” Chu Jin raised his wine cup and said to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao raised her cup and clinked it with Chu Jin’s.
“This is nothing!
“Because time was too tight, they could only display this little ability.
“We need ample time to give them more training. Give me two more months, and their combat strength will at least double.
“And if you have enough people, it won’t be difficult to form a few more teams. Use the ratio of one in a hundred as your selection criterion.”
Chu Jin’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“The combat strength can be doubled?” Now, each Special Forces Team member could almost fight against a dozen or even twenty people single-handedly. How powerful would each member become if his combat strength was doubled?
Also, regarding the issue of choosing one out of a hundred to gather new members to form a new Special Forces Team…
He didn’t have many subordinates, but the Second Prince had many.
After he returned, it was entirely possible for him to advise the Second Prince to form more of such teams.
This kind of elite squad was truly a mass killing weapon.
The results would be surprisingly good if these members carried out some key missions.
“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
“It’s the same physical training I taught your men before. They will also be given specialized training for the Liao-style saber, arm crossbow, and tri-dagger.
“Practice makes perfect. After mastering these skills, their combat strength will naturally increase rapidly.
“In addition, each team will also be divided into small groups. The team members eat and live together, train and carry out missions together, and they can cooperate seamlessly with each other.
“In this way, when we take action, the combat ability of the small groups, or even the entire team, will be stronger.
Chu Jin nodded as he listened.
“Teacher, the way you set up the Special Forces Team makes a lot of sense!” he said with certainty.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.
“Indeed!” she replied without any modesty.
“Haha!” Chu Jin laughed heartily and filled Qin Xiaoyao’s cup again. He really loved Qin Xiaoyao’s temperament very much, albeit in a brotherly manner.
Considering that there was still the threat of Liao soldiers outside the town, the two of them stopped drinking after a while.
“Teacher, please return to the camp to rest first. When the crisis in Yellow Flower Town is completely resolved, I, Chu Jin, will drink with you until I’m dead drunk!” Chu Jin was really looking forward to the arrival of this day.
After Qin Xiaoyao’s success, he was now very confident of his troops’ ability to defend Yellow Flower Town.
“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao answered with a smile.
Only then did she leave.
When she returned to the tent, the woman fell asleep immediately.
She slept all the way until night and was woken up by hunger.
After she got up, Qin Xiaoyao first sent someone to prepare some food.
After a full meal, she asked about the situation outside the town.
She learned that the Liao army in the north of the town had all retreated and that the troops in the south of the town had increased from 2000 to 4000.
Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, “The additional 2000 people are from the north of the town?”
“That’s right!” Liu Hong replied.
“After the Liao army in the north of the town suffered a setback, the south of the town reacted very quickly. They took in the Liao soldiers from the north of the town.
“However, according to the reports of our spies, the Liao army in the north of the town was scared out of their wits. Furthermore, because they were under different superiors previously, they were not that willing to listen to the orders of the Liao army in the south after they arrived.
“I guess that’s probably the reason the army at the south of the town didn’t attack today.”
Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile.
It was indeed just as Chu Jin had said.
“The generals who were killed in the north of the town seem to have higher ranks than those in the south?” Qin Xiaoyao asked in a good mood.
“That’s right!” Liu Hong replied with a smile.
“We’ve just received news that the Liao army’s Great General you killed last night was Xiao Tu. He was actually the grandson of the Liao State’s Supreme Commander Xiao Yuan.
“Xiao Tu was a great general of the Liao State and had accomplished many achievements. In addition, he is Xiao Yuan’s grandson, so his prestige in the Liao army is extremely high.
“Colonel Qin, when you personally killed this guy, the shock to the Liao army was extraordinary.”
“Oh?” The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up in a smile of surprise.
Xiao Tu? This was the first time she had heard of this name.
However, she had heard of the name “Xiao Yuan” many times.
It was said that he was the Liao State’s God of War. He had led troops to attack other states many times, especially the Great Jin State.
In the past ten years, the Great Jin State had suffered quite a lot due to this character.
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao’s reaction, Liu Hong smiled and continued, “Now that Xiao Tu has been killed by you, the news will probably reach Xiao Yuan’s ears very soon, Colonel Qin.
“Colonel Chu surmised that it is not that the Liao soldiers in the south of the town do not want to retreat, but that they dare not.
“They’re worried that if they retreat, they will anger their Supreme Commander. At that point, they can’t afford to bear the consequences..”
