Chapter 329: Revenge
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Then, without looking back, Qin Xiaoyao continued to dash forward.
Hmph! They wanted to keep her here? No way…
The Liao army continued to block and pursue her. They even attacked Qin Xiaoyao and the hapless Liao soldiers near her indiscriminately.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoyao was like a machine that had been pre-programmed. She was able to dodge every strike and escape with her life.
Outside the sea of Liao soldiers, Xiao Yuan, who was dressed like a regular soldier, had a grim expression on his face when he saw Qin Xiaoyao escaping.
The “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre” indeed lived up to his name.
It was a pity that such a powerful general did not hail from their Great Liao State.
What was even more unfortunate was that the ambush they had set up today had failed to take him down.
Now that this person had escaped, there would probably be endless trouble in the future…
Qin Xiaoyao ran all the way and charged for almost half an hour before she barely managed to break out of the Liao army’s encirclement.
She then dashed out of the campsite and snatched a horse before riding it to escape back to High Pass Town.
As she fled, Qin Xiaoyao was cursing in her heart.
Damn it. If she had delayed any longer, she would really have suffered a big setback.
Xiao Yuan, that old fart, had better not let her catch him. Otherwise, she would definitely take revenge on him for today!
She rode her horse all the way back to the west town in High Pass Town.
In the end, Qin Xiaoyao ran into Huang Fei and the others who were waiting outside the west town.
Huang Fei and the rest did not return to the town. Instead, they stopped not far from the west town and waited for her.
When they saw that Qin Xiaoyao had returned and there were no pursuers behind her, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
“Leader…”
“Leader…”
“Leader…” The three Huang brothers all stepped forward and looked at Qin Xiaoyao with worried expressions.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced in the direction of the Liao army’s campsite. A trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.
Then, she turned around and looked at the three brothers.
“We’ll talk when we get back!” she said in a sharp voice.
Then, she spurred her horse onward and went inside first.
The three Huang brothers hurriedly led their own men and followed.
After they entered the town, they followed Qin Xiaoyao to the resting room in the town gate tower.
Han Chao was also there. When he saw the four of them in a sorry state, he had a bad feeling.
After sitting down, Qin Xiaoyao poured herself a large cup of tea and said, “Tell me about the losses.”
The three Huang brothers looked defeated. After exchanging glances, Huang Fei bowed to Qin Xiaoyao first.
“There are only 500 elite soldiers left. More than half of the Special Forces Team has been lost,” he said with difficulty.
Nearby, Han Chao was shocked.
“Including me, only… 10 of my men are left,” Huang Shi added.
“Our team only has 12 people left,” Huang An added.
The room fell silent at once.
Qin Xiaoyao held the teacup with one hand, and her face was extremely glum.
Han Chao was dying to ask a barrage of questions, but in the face of such a depressing atmosphere, he couldn’t open his mouth.
After a long while, Qin Xiaoyao finally spoke.
“You guys are not to blame. That old fart Xiao Yuan had set up a trap in advance. It’s already very good that you were able to get these people to retreat in time and bring back these remaining people,” she continued.
“Leader…” Huang Fei was a little anxious as he called out.
However, Qin Xiaoyao raised her hand and stopped him from continuing.
“We will take revenge for this sooner or later!
“For now, go down and comfort your brothers. Make sure those who are injured get medical treatment. In addition, you have to personally take care of the compensation and make sure everything is in order,” Qin Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang Fei cupped his fists and replied in an emotionally charged voice.
Then, he brought Huang An and Huang Shi down.
After they left, Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Han Chao.
“After I left, what’s the situation in the south of the town?” she asked.
Han Chao hurriedly bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Not long after you left the town, the Liao army was repelled.
“The Second Prince sent a letter to ask about your situation. After learning that you had left the town, he relaxed the defense of the South Gate.
“After that, the South Gate was broken through.
“Fortunately, the Liao troops that entered the town were not as many as we expected. Currently, our men are fighting the Liao army in the town.”
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at Han Chao.
“The battle is still ongoing in the south of the town?” she asked.
“Mm-hmm. However, the battle seems to be spreading out and the Liao soldiers are mainly heading to the east.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
The east of the town was the inner part of High Pass Town. Once the enemy exited from the east of the town, they could directly charge into the depths of the Jin territories. The Liao army’s actions were not unusual.
“There’s no need to guard the West Town Gate Tower anymore,” Qin Xiaoyao said after some thought.
“Gather all the troops and follow me to the east town. We will stop the Liao army outside the town.”
There were still a large number of civilians living in the east town. If the Liao army was able to reach this area, there would probably be many casualties.
Moreover, she had just managed to wipe out all the Liao troops outside of Hua An Prefecture with much difficulty, so she was not willing to allow new Liao troops in.
Now that south town had been breached, they had lost their geographical advantage. In that case, they would have to fight the enemies head-on.
It would not be that easy for Xiao Yuan to get through High Pass Town.
“Yes, General!” Han Chao quickly answered.
In a short while, they had gathered all the troops.
When Qin Xiaoyao arrived, she realized that Huang Fei and the others had gathered here as well.
When she saw them, Qin Xiaoyao only glanced at them and didn’t say anything.
More people meant more power. This was particularly true for members of the Special Forces Team, who could fight one against twenty.
“This battle only has one purpose, and that is to stop the Liao army from entering the east town! From there, we can stop them from entering the heart of our Great Jin State!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
“There are still 100,000 civilians in the east town of High Pass Town. Their lives and properties are in our hands.
“Beyond the east town, there are tens of millions of civilians in the Great Jin State. If we let these Liao invaders in, the civilians’ lives will be in grave danger.
“Now, tell me, do you have the confidence to defend the east town?” Qin Xiaoyao bellowed sternly.
“We have!” the soldiers responded immediately.
“I swear to defend the east town and High Pass Town with my life!” Han Chao suddenly hollered.
“I swear to defend the east town and High Pass Town with my life!” The soldiers immediately echoed his slogan. For a moment, the crowd was furious.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was surging with emotions.
After raising her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, she began to lay out the battle plan.
“Liu Hong…”
“Yes, General!” Liu Hong immediately stepped forward.
“1 order you to take 500 soldiers and immediately head to the east town gate to provide support. Don’t let a single soldier leave the East Gate before the great battle is over!”
“Yes, General!” Liu Hong acknowledged the order in a deep voice.
Then he quickly gathered his troops and set off.
Qin Xiaoyao then turned to look at Han Chao.
“Han Chao…”
“Yes, General!” Han Chao quickly stepped forward.
“I order you to take the rest of the troops other than the Special Forces Team and rush to the main road in the town center district. Barricade the intersection and stop the Liao army from advancing toward the east town!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a stern voice.
“Yes, General!” Han Chao immediately responded.
Then, he gathered his men and set off.
After Han Chao and the others left, the West Town Gate Tower became very empty.
Qin Xiaoyao watched as they marched away. Then, she looked at Huang Fei and the rest, as well as the Special Forces Team members who had returned alive.
“From now on, the Special Forces Team will be renamed the Phantom Army. I’ll lead this army personally. Next, we will go and attack the South Town,” Qin Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
“Yes, Leader!” the Special Forces Team members replied in unison.
“There is but one objective in this mission. Kill. Kill all the Liao scumbags that invaded High Pass Town! Take revenge for our fallen brothers!” Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with a murderous glint.
“Revenge! We want revenge!” The Special Forces Team was in a frenzy.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t silence the crowd’s chanting.. She waited until everyone quieted down before she hollered in a stern voice, “Move out!”
