Chapter 307: Deployed Again

Chapter 307: Deployed Again

"This time, they all fought bravely and killed many enemies. When the time comes, Commander, don't be stingy with the rewards."

"Naturally! Naturally! Ha ha ha..." Chu Jin hastily agreed.

After speaking with Qin Xiaoyao for a while longer, he led her to the city wall to continue overseeing the battle.

The Liao army on the southern side was indeed larger in number. However, the city wall was easier to defend. With Chu Jin's ample preparations, despite multiple attacks by the Liao army, they failed to capture the wall.

Moreover, when the Liao army learned of the incident on the northern side of the city, their resolve to attack weakened even more.

After holding out a bit longer, they chose to retreat.

Seeing this, Chu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to order the soldiers to assess the casualties and prepare for defense. "Why not pursue and finish off this remaining enemy force?" Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said.

She couldn't fathom the audacity of these Liao soldiers.

On the northern side, they had dared to camp so close to the city gate with just four to five hundred men.

And here on the southern side, after suffering such heavy losses, they still hadn't learned their lesson. Even after their defeat, they didn’t retreat far.

Did they really believe that the Jin army would only defend and not counterattack?

That was sheer overconfidence.

Chu Jin was startled. He glanced in the direction of the retreating Liao army.

They hadn't gone far, and the illumination from their torches was much dimmer than before, indicating significant losses. A look of hesitation flashed across his face. Chu Jin was tempted but didn't immediately give the order.

After all, sending troops meant risking losses, while holding the position would at least preserve their strength.

Qin Xiaoyao could see what Chu Jin was thinking.

"How about we send the special training team again? They don't mind earning more military honors, after all," she said with a smile.

Excluding herself, the special training team had a total of thirty-four members. Only four had received minor injuries, none of which were serious, and the rest had all returned safely. The four injured weren't hurt in vital areas and wouldn't affect their ability to fight. Therefore, they could be deployed again as a complete team.

At the very least, even if the injured four didn't go, there would still be thirty-two members.

Including her, eliminating the remaining enemy forces outside the city wasn't impossible.

"This—" Chu Jin was tempted.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

"Well? It's now or never," she said.

Chu Jin finally nodded.

"Very well!"

"If we can slaughter all those Liao soldiers, the military merit will be calculated at once!" he said sternly.

A light flickered in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

He bowed to Chu Jin in a gesture of respect.

"Then I'll go and gather the team myself!" he said.

With that, he turned and left.

After descending the city wall, Qin Xiaoyao swiftly mounted his horse and soon reached the special training team's camp.

Seeing that Liu San and Huang Fei were still awake, chatting on the training ground, Qin Xiaoyao told the two to wake everyone up.

Excited about the new mission and the chance to earn more military merit, the two quickly ran off to wake the others.

In no time, all the special training team members came out.

They lined up neatly, facing Qin Xiaoyao.

"The general situation is that the Liao army in the southern part of the city failed to capture the southern gate. Now, a remnant force has retreated."

"They haven't gone far. Probably not even two li from the southern gate."

"According to our comrades-in-arms at the southern gate, there are about 500 of them."

"There are more of them compared to the Liao soldiers we dealt with before, and these men have just been through a fierce battle, so their vigilance should be higher than those we faced previously."

"What do we have to fear?! Even if there were more than 500, our special training team can handle them!" Liu San interjected fiercely.

"Exactly! Boss, don't worry! Last time, we treated it as an appetizer to practice on. This time is the main course!"

"Since the Liao dogs have delivered themselves to us to be eaten, how can we refuse such a feast?" Huang Fei added.

At this, everyone laughed heartily.

They all strongly agreed with Huang Fei.

Everyone clamored to go kill the Liao dogs and earn more military merit.

Qin Xiaoyao was extremely pleased with this.

After giving them a few more words of encouragement, he led them to the southern gate.

Upon arriving, Chu Jin came to meet them personally.

He first praised the special training team's previous performance, then encouraged them again, advising Qin Xiaoyao and the others to be cautious.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled boldly.

"Just wait for our good news, Captain!" he said.

Then, he led the special training team members down the ropes from the city tower.

As before, they left stealthily.

Prepared to sneak into the enemy camp and catch them off guard.

After descending the city tower, the special training team members merged into the shadows and quickly moved forward under Qin Xiaoyao's lead.

Before long, they arrived at the Liao army camp.

At this moment, the Liao soldiers were still setting up camp and organizing the site.

Qin Xiaoyao and her team did not intend to kill secretly. Instead, she suddenly roared aloud.

"Kill the Liao dogs!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the thirty-four people behind her shouted in unison, "Kill!"

The group directly stormed into the Liao army camp and began a massacre of the confused Liao soldiers inside.

The sounds of slaughter and cries rose instantly. Many Liao soldiers instinctively panicked and fled.

But how could they outrun the special training team, advancing with unstoppable momentum? In a short time, many of the soldiers were cut down in large numbers.

Some Liao soldiers regained their senses and went back to fetch weapons, attempting to resist the special training team.

However, many were killed on their way to retrieve their weapons.

Even those who managed to arm themselves couldn't withstand the special training team's attack and died tragically.

Of course, this was only the beginning.

Qin Xiaoyao's sudden attack caught the enemy off guard, granting her team a significant advantage.

Once the Liao army reacted, the soldiers in the camp quickly armed themselves and charged towards Qin Xiaoyao's group.

Moreover, the enemy had also prepared archers.

The battle situation began to turn dire.

However, Qin Xiaoyao remained calm, ordering everyone to continue fighting while she dealt with the Liao army's archers.

The special training team members had seen Qin Xiaoyao's capabilities before and trusted her completely.

They continued to wield their Liao sabers, slaughtering the enemies with fierce determination, their eyes red with fury.

Qin Xiaoyao certainly didn't disappoint her team. Like a relentless juggernaut, she killed all the way through.

She not only slaughtered all who stood in her way but also eliminated the archer team before they could fire their arrows.

Witnessing this, the Liao soldiers were terrified.

"Kill! Kill him for me! Whoever brings me this person's head will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!" Just as some Liao soldiers couldn't help retreating, someone suddenly said.

Hearing this, the Liao soldiers who had been retreating quickly closed in for the kill around Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was not afraid at all. She immediately snatched a spear from one of the Liao soldiers and swept it out, killing a swath of Liao soldiers.

Then, Qin Xiaoyao looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw someone dressed differently from the ordinary Liao soldiers.

Knowing that this person was the leader of these Liao soldiers, a cold glint flashed in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

Good, it really is "coming without effort."

The Liao army leader met Qin Xiaoyao's gaze and felt a chill run through his heart.

Realizing the situation was bad, he swiftly flipped onto a horse and fled.
