Chapter 294: Ambush the Liao Soldiers

Chapter 294: Ambush the Liao Soldiers

After gathering information, Huang Shi's expression turned grave.

Returning to Qin Xiaoyao and the others, he recounted what he had learned.

"Damn Liao dogs!" After speaking, Huang Shi angrily waved his fist and cursed under his breath.

"Pity, if the Second Prince hadn't left Hua'an Prefecture, otherwise—" Otherwise, how could the Liao dogs have invaded Hua'an Prefecture?

Qin Xiaoyao looked up at Huang Shi.

He said, "The Liao Army that entered Hua'an Prefecture is still a minority. If the Second Prince truly abandons Tong Pass, a large number of Liao soldiers will surely advance swiftly."

"At that time, it won't just be a disaster for Hua'an Prefecture, but for the entire Great Jin as well."

Unfortunately, in the vast Great Jin Dynasty, there are few capable generals.

Otherwise, how could the Great Liao act so brazenly?

Huang Fei and the others were all startled.

They didn't expect Qin Xiaoyao to have such insight.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't elaborate further.

She knew this because her husband had told her.

"Boss, should we continue to Chen County?" Huang An was the first to recover, asking Qin Xiaoyao with concern.

The others also looked at Qin Xiaoyao expectantly.

"Go." Qin Xiaoyao's eyes darkened.

"Just be cautious on the way."

"Once we enter Chen County, we'll avoid the city and try to avoid encountering the Liao Army."

"If we do encounter them—" Qin Xiaoyao paused.

"If we do encounter them, what should we do?" Huang Fei asked nervously.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Huang Fei, a fierce glint in her eyes.

"If we can't avoid them, we kill. It will be like avenging the people of Chen County."

These Liao soldiers who have penetrated deep into Great Jin territory have no shortage of blood on their hands.

They might even surge towards Lingquan Town, threatening her family.

It's just that she doesn't have enough time, and her strength is limited.

Otherwise, if she encountered such an opportunity, she might really stay and slaughter the Liao soldiers to the last man.

Huang Fei's eyes flashed, "Alright! Then let's kill the Liao dogs!" he said angrily.

"Kill the Liao dogs!" The other three echoed softly, their voices filled with determination.

After resting and having lunch, the group quickly set off again.

As they got closer to Chen County, they saw more refugees fleeing.

By dusk, the group finally left Zhao County and entered the territory of Chen County.

Just as Qin Xiaoyao was about to tell everyone to dismount and rest, she suddenly heard screams and the sounds of battle ahead.

Realizing something was happening, Qin Xiaoyao quickly made a "stop" gesture, signaling the four behind her to halt.

Huang Fei and the others also heard the sounds, their faces serious, barely daring to breathe loudly.

"I'll go check it out; you wait here," Qin Xiaoyao said after looking at the four.

It wasn't that she was unwilling to take them along, but their weapons were too crude.

They might be fine against ordinary people, but against battle-hardened Liao soldiers, they would only be easy prey.

Going alone, she would be safer.

She could attack or retreat as needed.

If there weren't many Liao soldiers, she could kill them and seize some weapons for the others to use.

On the way, she could teach them some sword techniques and combat skills. By the time they reached Tong Pass, their fighting abilities should improve significantly.

If there were too many Liao soldiers and it was getting dark, they could easily escape on horseback.

"Boss—" Huang Fei called out hesitantly.

He understood what the boss meant, feeling that their strength was insufficient and they might not be able to help.

But knowing the danger ahead, how could they let the boss go alone?

"Follow orders," Qin Xiaoyao simply said.

Then, she spurred her horse and left.

"Brother—" Huang Shi called out to Huang Fei with worry, his expression complex as he watched Qin Xiaoyao ride away.

The others also looked at Huang Fei, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Follow the boss’s lead," Huang Fei said in a deep voice.

At the same time, he made up his mind to become stronger.

They had joined the boss not to seek protection but to help him carve out a new world together.

The others looked at Huang Fei and nodded one after another.

Qin Xiaoyao spurred his horse forward, rounding a mountain pass, and soon saw the battlefield.

It turned out that over a dozen Liao Soldiers were chasing and slaughtering dozens of fleeing refugees.

The Liao Soldiers wielded long Liao knives, killing anyone they came across among the fleeing civilians.

After the killings, they would loot their belongings.

When they encountered women, they would immediately reach out to grab them, pulling them back.

If the women screamed or resisted, they would be killed as well.

By the time Qin Xiaoyao saw this scene, many bodies already lay on the ground.

His face darkened, and he lashed his horse's flank, charging forward like the wind.

He then drew his dagger, leaned down, and slit the throat of the nearest Liao Soldier.

This soldier, who had been wreaking havoc and killing several people in quick succession, never expected to lose his life so quickly.

As he fell, his face was filled with disbelief.

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xiaoyao dismounted and snatched the Liao knife from the fallen soldier.

He quickly remounted his horse and entered the fray.

Qin Xiaoyao seemed possessed by a god of death, galloping through the battlefield, cutting down Liao Soldiers one by one.

Each strike was decisive and lethal, ending lives with a single slash.

Soon, the battlefield echoed with the screams of the Liao Soldiers and the cries of the civilians.

The remaining Liao Soldiers finally noticed Qin Xiaoyao.

Seeing her intense killing intent and formidable skills,

the leader of the Liao Soldiers immediately ordered the closest soldiers to join forces and block her.

But who was Qin Xiaoyao? In this era, she considered herself second in martial arts, and no one dared to claim first.

Facing several Liao Soldiers attacking her horse's legs with their Liao knives, she nimbly dismounted.

She then threw her Liao knife, slicing the throat of the nearest Liao Soldier.

In a flash, she picked up another Liao knife and moved like lightning into the midst of the Liao Soldiers.

The Liao Soldiers' screams followed, and within five seconds, four of them lay dead.

This scene stunned the remaining Liao Soldiers.

The leader of the Liao Soldiers, panic-stricken, quickly mounted his horse.

"Quick! Retreat!" he shouted in a fluster.

The other Liao Soldiers hurriedly complied, fleeing in all directions.

Those with better luck managed to mount their horses.

Others, in their haste, couldn’t even get on their horses.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t hesitate, abandoning his injured horse.

He sprinted toward the nearest Liao Soldier, killed him with a single stroke, and swiftly mounted the soldier's warhorse.

Raising his Liao knife, he pursued the fleeing Liao Soldiers.

Thus, the refugees witnessed an eerie scene.

The Liao Soldiers who had been riding their horses to hunt them down were now being hunted themselves.

The once fierce demons now fled like rats, ultimately unable to escape their fate.

Indeed, Qin Xiaoyao rode hard and caught up with the stragglers, easily dispatching them.

Only the lead Liao Soldier’s horse ran the fastest.

But even it couldn’t escape.
