The expression of the Liao army’s leader became even more unpleasant. He almost wanted to give the order to attack the town but was stopped by the people beside him.
After a while, he suppressed the anger in his heart and turned his horse around to leave.
Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao knew that he was going to ask for permission, so she wasn’t in a hurry.
She continued to stay on the town gate tower to act as bait.
Then, before long, a banner appeared behind the enemy’s formation.
When she saw that the enemy’s great general had finally shown himself, Qin Xiaoyao knew that her plan had worked.
She tilted her head and exchanged glances with Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was also smiling as he looked forward to what would happen next.
Following that, Chu Jin and Qin Xiaoyao did not have to wait long before the Liao army launched their attack.
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, she led the Special Forces Team to help the soldiers on the South Gate Tower defend the town.
The soldiers on the South Gate Tower were fully prepared. In addition, the members of the Special Forces Team were all experts at deploying the crossbows. Practically all their crossbow bolts hit their targets with great lethal precision. The first wave of attack by the Liao army was quickly quelled.
After easily devouring more than a hundred enemies, Qin Xiaoyao looked in the direction of the Liao army’s great general with a smug look.
“Tsk! You only sent so few people. Are you trying to fill the gaps between my teeth? Send more!” she hollered loudly.
“Haha!” The Jin soldiers laughed along with her.
The Liao army’s morale was visibly shaken.
Then, very soon, additional Liao soldiers gathered.
The one leading the additional troops was the leader who was chasing Qin Xiaoyao earlier.
“Don’t be so arrogant! Today, 1 will definitely behead you!” The leader shouted at Qin Xiaoyao, who was standing at the top of the town gate tower.
Qin Xiaoyao, however, was smiling.
“Haha! Then come and try!”
“Kill him!” The army leader said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Liao soldiers behind him quickly rushed forward.
“Kill!” At the same time, the sound of fierce fighting resounded across the sky.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes finally turned grave.
This time, the number of people charging forward was much more than before. Moreover, they also had tools for climbing walls and knocking down the town gate.
After confirming that the Liao army was launching a serious attack this time, Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and exchanged glances with Chu Jin.
The Jin army began to focus on defending the town.
The archery team and trebuchets made their appearance as well.
The Liao soldiers below the town walls wailed in anguish as they suffered heavy casualties.
Against the orderly defense put up by the Jin army, the Liao army’s second wave of attack was still unsuccessful.
Qin Xiaoyao was still on the town gate tower at this juncture.
She had no choice as she had to continue to hang around to attract the enemies’ hatred.
What if the Liao army gave up on attacking the town if she were to leave?
Qin Xiaoyao laughed out loud as she looked at the army leader who was sitting on a horse not far away. She didn’t even need to look to know that the other party was not in a good mood.
“Haha! Is this all you’ve got? Then you should go back and rest early!
“By the way, remember to wash your neck more thoroughly before you go to bed. 1 will bring people to slice through it soon!”
“Haha! Wash your neck clean!” The soldiers on the town gate tower echoed her taunt.
When that army leader heard this, he almost exploded in rage.
He immediately turned his horse around and once again galloped in the direction of the great general’s banner.
This time, Qin Xiaoyao and the others waited for a longer time.
In the end, the Liao army still launched an attack.
This time, it was almost 70% of the Liao army that came.
Sounds of fighting that were even more ferocious than before reverberated throughout the field.
Qin Xiaoyao and Chu Jin personally directed the battle operations from the town gate tower, instructing the soldiers to repel the attack.
The battle this time was visibly more intense than before.
The Liao army had many men and was very aggressive.
When the troops in front fell, the troops behind took over and continued to fight, row after seamless row.
However, the Jin army only had limited troops on the town gate tower. They could only continuously exhaust their physical strength to deal with the attacking Liao army.
Qin Xiaoyao commanded from the side for a while before she personally took part in the action as well.
At the same time, she signaled to Huang Fei to bring the Special Forces Team to retreat and start splitting up to embark on their mission.
That was right. She wasn’t going to the north of the town to participate in the follow-up campsite attack.
The reason was that there were people watching her from below the town wall, and they were all watching her very closely.
She was afraid that her plan would fail if she left.
Huang Fei didn’t waste any time and quickly passed down Qin Xiaoyao’s orders.
Following that, the Special Forces Team members began to quietly withdraw from the battlefield.
The army leader and the others who had been keeping an eye on Qin Xiaoyao didn’t notice this at all.
As Qin Xiaoyao put in a lot of effort, she was able to stop a large number of Liao soldiers from climbing up the town gate tower single-handedly.
She was like a Hercules who did not know fatigue. She could easily lift a huge rock and then smash it down.
Or, she could easily break a large number of arrows and then toss them down, killing a large mass of Liao soldiers who were trying to climb up the town gate tower.
In short, her actions made the army leader and the other soldiers in the Liao camp extremely angry.
Yet, they could do nothing to her.
They had also tried to secretly shoot arrows at her, but none of them hit her.
Instead, the person who fired the arrow was shot dead by Qin Xiaoyao’s arrow.
In short, this Jin State’s god of massacre was truly terrifying and evil.
Even so, some people didn’t believe in evil forces.
Take for example this leader of the Liao army.
As he was lucky enough to injure Qin Xiaoyao in the campsite just now, he didn’t think she was as terrifying as other people made her out to be.
In fact, he even felt that he would be able to capture Qin Xiaoyao with his own hands.
Thus, even though the Liao army suffered countless casualties, he still pressed on with the attack on the town.
At this point, the Liao army generals were all staring at Qin Xiaoyao on the town gate tower. They saw her as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
However, they didn’t know that the Special Forces Team members had already gone to the north of the town to meet up with the soldiers guarding the North Gate.
Thereafter, they organized the troops there and took advantage of the dark night to leave the town gate and outflank the enemy’s base camp.
The majority of the Liao soldiers that were left behind to guard the base camp were not from the Liao army originally stationed in the south of the town. They were soldiers who had been gathered from the north of the town.
These Liao soldiers were the very ones who had been scared out of their wits previously by Qin Xiaoyao and the Special Forces Team.
The enemy’s great general had not brought them along and had deliberately left them behind in the rear in order to maintain the morale of the fighting troops.
However, now, his seemingly clever plan had backfired spectacularly.
When the Special Forces Team and the Jin army from the north of the town suddenly attacked the campsite, the Liao army in the base camp fell into chaos very rapidly.
In particular, when they saw the Special Forces Team members wielding the Liao-style saber among the ranks of the Jin army, many of them simply chose to flee.
When he saw this, Huang Fei and the rest laughed outrageously.
At the same time, they swung their Liao-style saber and harvested a number of unfortunate souls along the way.
The morale of the Jin army that came along also rose as a result. They followed the Special Forces Team members to chase and kill the Liao soldiers.
The Liao army’s base camp swiftly fell into enemy hands.
When the flames started to spread at the campsite, the Liao army generals who were attacking the south of the town realized that something was wrong.
Some Liao soldiers escaped from the base camp to report to their superiors stationed in the south of the town.
However, it was too late when the generals of the Liao army received the news.
Their base camp had already been attacked. If they were to bring the rest of the people back, the soldiers attacking the town gate below would definitely all perish.
However, if they didn’t return, all the people in the base camp would be done for.
“Damn it!” When that army leader heard the news, he was so angry that he cursed at Qin Xiaoyao, who was still on the town gate tower.
At the same time, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s surroundings.
Only then did he realize that her subordinates had long disappeared from the town gate tower..
