Chapter 316: Attack on the Headquarters

Chapter 316: Attack on the Headquarters

The expression of the Liao Army lieutenant became even more grim, almost wanting to order an immediate attack on the city, but someone beside him stopped him.

After a while, he suppressed his anger and rode away.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao knew that he had gone to request orders and wasn’t in a hurry.

She continued to stay on the South Gate city tower, playing the role of bait effectively.

Shortly after, a flag appeared at the rear of the enemy formation.

Seeing that the Liao commander had finally shown up, Qin Xiaoyao knew her plan seemed to have worked.

She turned her head and shared a look with Chu Jin.

Chu Jin also grinned, looking forward to what would happen next.

Before long, the Liao Army launched their attack.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t hurry to leave but instead stayed with the special training team to assist the soldiers on the South Gate city tower in defending the city.

The South Gate city tower was fully prepared, and with the special training team members being highly skilled, they handled the crossbows with lethal accuracy. The Liao Army's first wave quickly fell back.

Easily taking out over a hundred enemies, Qin Xiaoyao gazed smugly in the direction of the Liao Army's main commander.

“Hey! Is that all you’ve got? Just a handful of men to fill the gap between my teeth? Send more, I’m not done yet!” she shouted loudly.

“Haha!” The soldiers laughed along with her.

The Liao troops' morale wavered.

Soon after, new Liao soldiers assembled and approached.

Leading them was the same lieutenant who had chased Qin Xiaoyao earlier.

“Don’t get cocky! Today, you will be slain!” the lieutenant shouted loudly at Qin Xiaoyao from near the city tower.

Qin Xiaoyao, however, smiled confidently.

“Haha! Then come and see if you can!”

“Kill her!” the lieutenant commanded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Liao soldiers behind him charged forward.

“Kill——” At the same time, battle cries echoed through the air.

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression turned grave.

This time, there were far more enemies than before. Moreover, they had ladders for scaling the walls and tools for ramming the city gate.

Realizing that the Liao Army was serious this time, Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Chu Jin.

They began to focus on defending the city.

The archery team and the catapult team moved into position.

Below the city, the cries of the Liao soldiers continued, with heavy casualties.

With the Jin army's orderly defense, the Liao army's attack once again failed.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao was still on the city tower and hadn't departed.

There was no way around it; she had to stay here and continue provoking the enemy.

If she left, what if the Liao army gave up the siege?

Looking towards the junior officer riding on his horse not far away, she knew without looking that he was furious. Qin Xiaoyao laughed out loud.

"Ha! Is that all you've got? You might as well go back and rest!"

"Oh, and before you sleep, make sure to clean your neck thoroughly. Your grandma will come to collect it anytime!"

"Haha! Make sure to clean your neck thoroughly!" the soldiers on the city tower chimed in.

The junior officer was so enraged he nearly exploded.

Immediately, he spurred his horse around and rode back toward the Liao army’s main commander’s banner.

This time, Qin Xiaoyao and the others waited for a considerable time.

Eventually, the Liao army launched another assault.

This time, almost seventy percent of the entire Liao army had come.

The sounds of a more brutal battle soon erupted.

Qin Xiaoyao and Chu Jin personally directed the soldiers on the city tower to repel the enemy.

This battle was significantly more intense than the previous one.

The Liao troops were numerous and fiercely aggressive.

As the front ranks fell, more rushed forward, unendingly.

The defenders on the city tower were outnumbered and could only exhaust themselves fending off the Liao attackers.

After directing for a while, Qin Xiaoyao joined the fray herself.

Simultaneously, she signaled Huang Fei to lead the special training team to withdraw and commence separate operations.

Indeed, she did not intend to go to the northern city to join the subsequent camp raid.

Primarily because someone was closely monitoring her every move.

She feared that if she left, the plan would fail.

Huang Fei wasted no time and quickly relayed Qin Xiaoyao’s orders.

Shortly after, the special training team quietly withdrew and left the battlefield.

The junior officer and others, who had been closely watching Qin Xiaoyao, did not notice this development.

Because Qin Xiaoyao was performing with great dedication, single-handedly fending off a large number of Liao soldiers attempting to scale the city tower.

She was like an untiring giant, easily lifting huge stones and throwing them down.

Or, she could effortlessly snap a large number of arrows and throw them down, killing numerous Liao soldiers attempting to climb up the city tower.

In short, her actions left the junior officer and his men fuming with anger.

Yet they were utterly helpless against her.

They had tried to shoot her with arrows, but not a single shot hit its mark.

Moreover, the archer was killed by her own returned arrow.

In short, this Jin kingdom's goddess of death was both terrifying and eerie.

Nevertheless, some still doubted her invincibility.

For example, this junior officer of the Liao Army.

Because previously in the camp, he had been lucky enough to wound Qin Xiaoyao, so he didn't think she was as fearsome as others imagined.

In fact, he even believed that he could personally capture Qin Xiaoyao.

Thus, despite the heavy casualties, the Liao Army continued to relentlessly attack the city.

At this moment, the Liao Army generals were solely focused on Qin Xiaoyao on the city tower, seeing her as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, wishing to remove her as soon as possible.

However, they were unaware that the special training team members had already moved to the northern part of the city and joined forces with the northern defenders.

Then, they reorganized the troops and, under the cover of night, left the city gates to flank behind their main camp.

At this time, most of the Liao soldiers guarding the main camp were not the original elite forces from the southern city, but rather those gathered from the north.

These Liao soldiers had been terrified by Qin Xiaoyao and the special training team before.

Their commander had deliberately left them behind to stabilize the troops.

But now, this strategy had backfired.

When the special training team and the Jin army from the northern city launched a surprise attack on the main camp, the Liao soldiers at the main camp were thrown into chaos.

Especially when they saw the special training team members wielding Liao sabers, many fled in panic.

Seeing this, Huang Fei and the others laughed maniacally.

At the same time, they swung their Liao sabers, cutting down their enemies as they advanced.

The accompanying Jin soldiers were also greatly encouraged. They followed the special training team members, pursuing and slaughtering the Liao soldiers.

The Liao main camp quickly fell.

As the flames began to spread, the Liao generals besieging the southern city finally realized something was wrong.

A Liao soldier fled from the main camp to report to the southern camp.

But by the time the Liao generals received the news, it was already too late.

The main camp had been attacked, and if they retreated with the remaining men, the soldiers attacking the city would surely perish.

If they stayed, the men at the main camp would be doomed.

The junior officer also received the news and angrily cursed at Qin Xiaoyao on the city tower.

At the same time, he looked around Qin Xiaoyao.

Only then did he realize that her subordinates had long vanished from the city tower.
