Chapter 311: Another Large Batch of Liao Soldiers Arrived
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Now that there were so many people, it wasn’t so easy for Qin Xiaoyao to make a move.
“Mm-hmm,” Chu Jin responded with a frown.
“The enemy’s forces are several times bigger than ours. After this…” Although they had the geographical advantage, he was afraid that they would not be able to defend the town if the other party attacked by force.
“We’ll deal with them using appropriate measures as and when they attack. If they want to attack, we’ll defend. If they simply squat outside the town to wait…” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly paused.
“Then what should we do?” Chu Jin asked.
“Then we’ll send the Special Forces Team out for a walk. We’ll kill as many as we can. It’s best if we can kill them until they’re scared and their morale drops,” she said in a low voice.
Chu Jin’s face froze momentarily.
Then, he nodded.
That was one way to go about it.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Chu Jin and patted his shoulder.
“Don’t be too nervous. Although I burned a large amount of food rations in Yellow Flower Town, there are still some left. There are even more provisions left.
“If you use these supplies to defend the town, they can still come in very useful.
“The Liao army has come from far away. They don’t have enough food rations and provisions. Even if they have more people than us, it won’t be that easy for them to take down the town.”
Chu Jin nodded. He agreed with this reasoning.
After checking out the situation outside the town with Qin Xiaoyao for a while, he left.
“Colonel Qin…” Just as Chu Jin left, Liu Hong came forward.
She could tell from Liu Hong’s expression that he was worried.
“Just do what you have to do,” she said in a low voice.
“Yes, Colonel!” Liu Hong answered and did not say anything else.
Qin Xiaoyao stood on the town gate tower and looked into the distance. She looked for a while longer before leaving.
After descending from the town gate tower, she didn’t go far.
She ate at a place very close to the North Town’s gate tower. After eating, she returned to the North Town’s gate tower and asked about the defense of the town.
After confirming that all the defensive weapons were in place, she personally took charge of the town gate tower.
Minutes and seconds passed by, and the sun began setting. Evening was approaching.
Cooking smoke appeared from the campsite of the Liao army. They had already started fires to cook.
It seemed that the battle would not break out before dark.
However, Qin Xiaoyao did not relax. She only allowed the soldiers to take turns to eat while she continued to guard the town gate tower.
Night soon fell in Yellow Flower Town.
It was still quiet outside the town.
Qin Xiaoyao was still standing guard on the town gate tower at 10 pm when someone finally arrived from South Town.
He was a messenger sent by Chu Jin.
“Colonel Qin.” That messenger stepped forward and bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
“You may dispense with the formalities,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
“What’s the situation on Colonel Chu’s end?” she asked immediately.
“Nothing is happening. Colonel Chu asked me to come over to ask you, Colonel Qin. Can you send the Special Forces Team out of the town and disrupt the enemy campsite in South Town?” the messenger said.
The Liao army did not make any move for a long time, and no one knew what they were thinking.
If this continued, the soldiers would be under a lot of pressure.
At this juncture, unleashing the Special Forces Team to go out of the town to embark on a killing wave could also startle the Liao army and increase the confidence of the Jin soldiers.
Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows.
“Well…” She was a little hesitant.
Last night, she led the Special Forces Team out of the town twice in a row and made great military achievements.
However, in both attacks, some of the Liao soldiers escaped.
The Liao army that rushed over today definitely knew what happened last night.
She was a little worried that she would be asking for trouble if she attacked the enemy rashly.
“Is there anything wrong?” the messenger quickly asked.
“Mm-hmm.” Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“I’m a little worried that the reason they didn’t attack the town was to set a trap. They wanted me to lead the Special Forces Team into the trap at night.” The messenger’s expression changed at once.
“Then you must not go out!” he immediately said.
The Special Forces Team was their trump card. If they were to be injured, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Xiaoyao gave a glance at the messenger.
After thinking for a while, she said, “Go back and inform Colonel Chu that the Special Forces Team will be deployed tonight. But the time and place will be decided by me. Just inform him to guard the South Gate well.”
The messenger was surprised.
“Yes, Colonel!” He quickly cupped his hands and left after that.
Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her gaze and once again looked at the Liao army’s camp that was lit up in the night.
After a long while, she said to the people beside her, “Go to the camp of the Special Forces Team and ask everyone to have a good rest. We’ll take action at 0500 hours.”
“Yes, Colonel!” Someone immediately went to deliver her message.
Qin Xiaoyao stood there for a while longer before making her way down the town gate tower to rest.
She also needed to rest and conserve her energy.
Sure enough, the latter half of the night was peaceful.
Qin Xiaoyao woke up on time before 5 am.
After washing her face with cold water, she went to the town gate tower.
After a while, all the Special Forces Team members arrived.
Every one of them was equipped with a Liao-style saber and dressed in night-travel clothing that was very conducive for hiding in the dark.
“The target of this mission is the Liao army’s campsite outside our North Town.
“There are no less than 4000 people on the enemy’s side. We can’t kill them all with just the few of us.
“Therefore, the purpose of your mission this time is to create chaos and buy me time.
“1’11 find a way to get rid of the enemy’s great general and throw them into chaos before they launch their attack after dawn.”
As soon as she said that, the team members were all shocked.
After exchanging looks with each other, they all bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Yes, Leader!” They responded in unison.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not be at ease to let their
Leader go after the enemy’s commander alone.
However, they were talking about their Leader, a god-like figure.
They believed that she would definitely be able to do it.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“For this mission, we will still split up into small groups and coordinate our movements. The duration of action will be half an hour after we enter the Liao army’s campsite.
“After half an hour, no matter what the situation is, all of you must retreat,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
“Yes, Leader!” The team members answered again.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao nod and give the order. “Let’s move out!”
The group of people was like leopards in the dark night, and they quickly melded into the darkness.
Outside the town, in the Liao army’s campsite.
The situation was indeed as Qin Xiaoyao had suspected. The Liao army, both in the north and south of the town, had set up a trap to lure Qin Xiaoyao’s Special Forces Team in order to get rid of them.
This was especially so for the southern part of the town. There were fewer Liao soldiers there, and the other party felt that their campsite would be more attractive to Qin Xiaoyao, so their trap was more well-prepared.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take the bait. Or rather, she didn’t take the bait at the right time.
At this point, the Liao army in the north that was lying in ambush had been on high alert for one whole night and was very tired.
In addition, the sky was almost bright, and many people felt that the Special Forces Team would probably not come, so they were even more complacent. However, right at this moment, Qin Xiaoyao came with her men.
Under the cover of the remaining darkness, the members of the Special Forces Team easily sneaked into the Liao army’s campsite.
As the traps that had been set up were not very clever, and the people lying in ambush in the dark were in low spirits, the traps did not have any effect at all.
Instead, the people who were holding fort at the trap were yanked out by the Special Forces Team members one by one, and they were all taken care of without a sound.
After dealing with the people hiding in ambush, the Special Forces Team members successfully sneaked into the camp.
One tent after another, they began to harvest the souls of those sleeping Liao soldiers.
With each raise of the hand and fall of the saber, it was as easy as chopping melons and slicing vegetables.
Of course, such a large-scale massacre could not be kept a secret for long.
Very soon, some Liao soldiers discovered that something was wrong and started to make a ruckus.
However, the Special Forces Team didn’t panic.
Since their presence was already exposed, they might as well come out into the open and brazenly kill more viciously and swiftly.
At the same time, they would attract the attention of the Liao soldiers away from their Leader..
