Following that, Qin Xiaoyao’s figure dashed off swiftly.
The Special Forces Team members followed in her footsteps like phantoms.
Soon, Qin Xiaoyao and the others entered the south town.
They formed themselves into small-scale military units and began slaying the small teams of Liao troops they encountered.
They moved swiftly and killed expeditiously. In a short while, they had slain a large number of Liao soldiers.
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t afraid even if her army encountered larger-scale Liao army troops.
One person would charge forward, taking the head of the enemy’s commander straightaway, thereby scattering the enemy troops.
The Special Forces Team would wait for the opportunity to attack and split the enemy up before finishing them off.
After half a day, when the sky turned dark, Qin Xiaoyao and her Special Forces Team had already slaughtered their way from the south of the town to the center of the town. They had no idea how many people they had killed.
At this moment, everyone was exhausted.
Even Qin Xiaoyao felt that her special ability force was a little overdrawn.
“Huang Shi!1‘ Qin Xiaoyao finally stopped at a corner and shouted to the back.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang Shi immediately ran forward.
As he got closer, Qin Xiaoyao realized that Huang Shi’s forehead was covered in sweat. He was also a little breathless when he spoke.
Qin Xiaoyao turned around and looked at the other people who were equally exhausted. She leaned against the wall.
“Take a few brothers with you and find a safe place. Let everyone eat something and recuperate.” They had just cleared this area, so it was safe for the time being.
In addition, the town center district was relatively closer to the east of the town. Previously, there were occasionally civilians who were actively doing business here. With some effort, they should be able to find food.
They had not had enough food and water for the entire afternoon. If they continued, they would die of exhaustion even if they were not killed by the Liao soldiers.
She wasn’t rhe only one who needed to replenish her energy and recover her power. The rest of the ream also needed to replenish their energy.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang Shi’s face lit up with joy as he quickly replied.
Then, he turned around and quickly left with the others.
Qin Xiaoyao and the others stayed where they were to rest and wait for Huang Shi’s news.
Qin Xiaoyao leaned against rhe wall and rested for a while. When she turned to the side, she saw Huang Fei.
Then, she looked at the Special Forces Team members behind her. They were either leaning against rhe wall or sitting on the ground in exhaustion.
Her heart felt somewhat heavy.
“How many people do we have now?” she asked Huang Fei.
Huang Fei didn’t even turn his head as he cupped his hands ar Qin Xiaoyao.
“Including you. Leader, there’s 20 of us,” he said in a low voice.
In just one afternoon, the number of members had been reduced by half again.
As for those who survived, their combat power was far from what it was before.
If this continued, they might lose even more people.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression was grave.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and didn’t say anything more.
After a while, Huang Shi finally returned.
He led the way and brought the group into a house.
When they arrived at the back kitchen of the house, everyone saw that there was food and drinks. They immediately reached out to take some and gobbled them up.
As the food entered their stomachs, their depressed moods were instantly lifted.
As the members of the Special Forces Team ate heartily, they started smiling. They were all enjoying this moment of happiness.
Qin Xiaoyao was also earing without manners. When her eyes met Huang Fei’s gaze, who was sitting not far away, she gave a faint smile.
Huang Fei was taken aback, but he also smiled back.
At this moment, everyone had a tacit understanding and enjoyed the food with ease of mind.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone was almost full.
Putting away their relaxed mood, the group gathered around Qin Xiaoyao, waiting for new orders.
However, Qin Xiaoyao remained seated and did not move.
“It’s been hard on you today, my brothers,” she said.
“After this, have a good rest and recharge your energy. We ll take action again after midnight.”
The crowd exchanged looks with one another.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang Fei was the first to answer.
Only then did the rest of the people respond in a similar fashion.
Qin Xiaoyao then allowed Huang Fei and the others to stay behind and scheduled rotating shifts of guard duty.
Thereafter, the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
“Leader, why don’t I go out and check out the situation in the east of the town?11 Just as Qin Xiaoyao was about to close her eyes for a while, Huang Fei came over.
Qin Xiaoyao turned to Huang Fei.
When she saw his worried expression, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
In fact, she was also curious about the current situation outside.
However, after thinking for a while, she still rejected his suggestion.
“You’re not allowed to. It’s too dangerous for you to act alone.
“Not only are the Liao troops running around in the town, but our own people are also dispersed everywhere.
“On our way here, except for the east town district, the other districts are caught up in melee battles.
“Wait for dawn. I ll personally go check out the situation after dawn.”
She had already agreed with the Second Prince long ago.
Once the town gate tower of High Pass Town was breached, the east side of the town would be sealed off immediately.
After night fell, be it rhe Liao or Jin army, they could not enter the east of the town. Otherwise, they would all be killed without exception.
Earlier in the day, she had chosen to lead the Special Forces Team to stay on the outer perimeter in order to kill the Liao troops that had swarmed into the town and reduce the pressure on the east town’s defense line.
And now, this mission had to continue.
At least, she had to hold on until the next day.
After all, the light at night was not good, if they rashly approached the east side of the town, it would only cause misunderstandings.
Huang Fei was silent.
After a moment, he answered, “Alright!”
Then, he went to a place not far away from Qin Xiaoyao and half-lay down.
Since he couldn’t go out to scout for information, he might as well rest.
Only by resting and recovering his energy would he be able to deal with the upcoming battle.
Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes as well.
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that she was suddenly woken up by the battle cries outside.
As soon as she stood up, the people around Qin Xiaoyao stirred as well.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at the people who had woken up earlier than her. Huang Fei was among them.
“Leader…” Huang Fei had already made his way briskly to Qin Xiaoyao.
“What time is it?” Qin Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.
“It’s already past midnight,” Huang Fei replied.
Qin Xiaoyao flung off the clothes covering her body and stood up.
“It’s almost time. Go and wake up our brothers,” she said.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang Fei quickly left after replying to her.
Qin Xiaoyao stretched her limbs and looked at Huang An, who was not far away.
“Take two men to see what’s going on outside.
“Don’t attack before you have thoroughly investigated the situation. Come back and report first,” Qin Xiaoyao instructed.
“Yes, Leader!” Huang An answered.
He summoned two men very quickly and they headed out.
Before long, the Special Forces Team members were all assembled.
After resting for more than four hours, everyone’s spirits were visibly much better. When they looked at Qin Xiaoyao, many of them even had smiles on their faces.
After a while, Huang An and the other two returned.
“Leader…” Huang An quickly walked up to Qin Xiaoyao and greeted her with cupped fists.
“How is it?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.
“It’s a group of Liao soldiers who fought their way here. They bumped into General Zhao’s men.”
Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.
General Zhao? Zhao Shikuan?
Zhao Shikuan seemed to be rhe only one with the surname Zhao and the rank of general in the Jin State’s army.
This person could be considered an old acquaintance of hers. She had known him back in Mountain Spring Town.
After she came to High Pass Town, Zhao Shikuan and the other generals invited her for a drink and promised to help her look for her husband.
“General Zhao’s men are fighting tenaciously, bur the enemy has more people. I’m afraid they’re no match for them.
“Leader, do we attack?” Huang An quickly asked..
