Chapter 327: We’ll Talk After the Killing Spree
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There were no less than 4000 of them, and they had many cavalrymen.
If they were to leave the town to chase them, the other party would definitely flee.
If they didn’t give chase, they would have to be on guard against the enemy suddenly turning back to attack the town.
In this way, even if she wanted to go to the south of the town to support her comrades, she would not dare to send out too many troops.
“Yes, there is!” Han Chao replied.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Han Chao and then at the Liao army. She frowned immediately.
“They are really an eyesore,” she said.
Han Chao glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and smiled as he rubbed his nose.
They were the enemy, so of course they were an eyesore.
“It’s a pity that we are somewhat short of troops. Otherwise, we could have sent out the Special Forces Team and the elite soldiers to attack them in a pincer attack in tandem with us. We could have simply devoured this group of people.” The feeling of having to abstain from eating when the meat was delivered to her mouth was really unbearable.
Han Chao smiled in amusement.
“General, don’t worry. They haven’t set up camp yet, so they might leave soon.”
The Liao army used these troops to restrain them, but they themselves were also being restrained in return.
The south town gate was not that easy to break through. If the Liao army wanted to break through the town, the current number of troops they had deployed was not enough.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Han Chao.
“I can’t be bothered to wait. I want to go out and send them on their way to the netherworld!” she said.
With that, she descended from the town gate tower.
“I want 1500 cavalrymen. Elite soldiers at the front and new recruits at the back. Follow me out of the town and launch a killing spree!” she said as she walked.
The other party had no intention of fighting, and they were sitting astride their horses, ready to retreat at any time.
They were just a bunch of timid birds that would get startled easily. Once she gave chase, the other party would definitely retreat.
If she could run fast, she might be able to kill some enemies to satisfy her craving.
The enemy was already right under her nose. If she didn’t do anything, wouldn’t Xiao Yuan look down on her?
Didn’t these people want to make sure that she and her men were in the town?
She would personally send herself to their doorstep and help them confirm it. Wouldn’t that be great?
Han Chao was surprised.
Then, he smiled and followed her.
At the same time, he responded, “Yes, General!”
Before long, 1500 cavalrymen had gathered at the town gate.
Qin Xiaoyao held a long spear in her hand and mounted the horse.
“Follow me and kill our way out!” she said sternly.
“Kill them!” The soldiers were full of fighting spirit.
Then, the town gate was opened.
Qin Xiaoyao took the lead and sped away on her horse.
The many cavalrymen behind her followed closely, kicking up a cloud of dust from the ground.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Liao soldiers outside the town.
The Liao soldiers, who had been very relaxed, became nervous suddenly.
Perhaps sensing the strong killing intent of the other party, the warhorses under the enemy troops began prancing in circles nervously.
“Commander…” A personal guard beside the commander of the Liao army spoke up.
As soon as he spoke, the commander raised his hand to stop him.
“Let’s wait a little longer,” the commander said in a deep voice.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Xiaoyao, who was leading the charge at the front.
The military order given to him by the Supreme Commander was to make sure that Qin Xiaoyao was in the west of the town.
Even if he wanted to leave, he had to get a clear picture of the circumstances first.
Previously, the distance was too far, and he was worried that it would be difficult to determine. And now, he had a chance.
In any case, he would leave once he was sure that it was Qin Xiaoyao.
He wasn’t going to fight with Qin Xiaoyao’s men, so nothing would happen.
Although he was thinking along this line, as Qin Xiaoyao got closer and closer, the commander’s heart became increasingly more tense.
After all, he was facing the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre.” The grandson of their Supreme Commander and a large number of Liao generals had all died in her hands.
And those ghost soldiers under her also slaughter people without emotions.
“Commander…” When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao was less than eighty steps away from them, a soldier reminded the commander again. His tone was a little flustered, obviously frightened by the battle cries on the other side.
How could he not be afraid when those were all homicidal demons opposite him?
Besides, they didn’t have any mission this time.
Why should they stay and risk their lives fighting this group of murderous demons?
The commander’s head was already covered in sweat.
However, his eyes were fixed on Qin Xiaoyao without blinking.
If the other party were closer, just a little closer, he would be able to see if the other party was truly Qin Xiaoyao.
Just wait a little longer… just a moment more.
Right at this instant, Qin Xiaoyao, who had been keeping her head low as she rode her horse, suddenly raised her head.
An icy, sinister smile appeared on her heroic face.
Following that, two flying daggers suddenly flew out of her hands.
When the commander who was standing around fifty steps away saw this, his expression changed at once.
He immediately grabbed the man beside him to shield himself.
At the same time, he ducked his head down and cowered low, hiding himself behind the man.
In an instant, the two flying daggers struck.
The sharp blade sliced through the flesh. One of the flying daggers slit through the throat of the human shield, while the other one slashed through the right arm of the commander, which he couldn’t hide in time.
“Argh…” the commander let out a wretched scream.
He quickly threw away the dead human shield.
“Advance troops, bring up the rear. The rest of you, follow me and retreat!” he barked out.
Then, without even looking at Qin Xiaoyao, he turned his horse around and fled.
For a while, the Liao army was in utter chaos. They had the advantage in numbers, yet all of them turned tail and fled.
Qin Xiaoyao pulled out her Liao-style saber and quickly slashed at the advance troops of the Liao army who were bringing up the rear.
They didn’t go after the miserable fleeing soldiers. Those few troops left behind were still enough for them.
The advance troops of the Liao army retreated as they resisted, trying to escape their misfortune.
However, the result was destined to be a tragedy.
In just a short while, they were all slain by Qin Xiaoyao and her men.
Looking at the large group of Liao troops that had already fled far away, some people wanted to give chase but were stopped by Qin Xiaoyao.
“Enough! Beware of ambush if we go too deep. Quickly clear the battlefield and return to the town!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
“Yes, General!” All the soldiers answered.
Immediately, they got busy on the battle site.
The soldiers were very experienced in cleaning up the battlefield. It didn’t take long for them to sort out all the weapons and horses.
Then, they followed Qin Xiaoyao back to the town in a grand manner.
After returning to the town, the soldiers in the west town cheered, and the morale of the Jin army was high.
Qin Xiaoyao once again went up the town gate tower to observe the situation outside the town.
After confirming that the Liao army had not returned, she felt more at ease.
“General…” At this moment, a messenger ran up from below.
“The South Gate Tower is in danger. The Second Prince has ordered General Qin to send 1000 troops to the south town to support him!” The messenger knelt down on one knee and quickly reported when he arrived in front of Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression changed slightly.
“Han Chao…” she immediately ordered.
“Yes, General!” Han Chao immediately responded.
“Pick out a thousand soldiers and have Liu Hong lead them to the south town!”
“Yes, General!” Han Chao hurriedly answered.
He left with the messenger.
Qin Xiaoyao waited on the town gate tower for a while longer until Han Chao returned.
“What’s the situation in the south of the town? Also, has the Liao army in the north of the town retreated?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.
Han Chao cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“They have retreated! Currently, the Liao army is attacking the south town gate with all their might. The South Town Gate has fallen twice in a row.
“At the last moment, our soldiers beat the Liao scumbags back.
“But the Liao scumbags have attacked with great momentum this time. I’m afraid they will break through the South Gate sooner or later,” Han Chao said worriedly.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at Han Chao.
“Get someone to keep a close eye on it. Once the South Gate is breached, inform me immediately,” she instructed.
Let the gate be breached.
If the enemy did not break through the town, how could she leave the town?
