Chapter 229 Prisoner
Chapter 229 Prisoner
The elite team that sneaked into the city was like a group of cheetahs hiding in the dark, lurking in the city, always alert to the movements outside the city, waiting for the moment when the prey appeared.
When the earth-shaking shouts of killing suddenly exploded outside the city, the team members seemed to be injected with a powerful force. They were instantly alert and took action without hesitation.
"Hey, brothers, we're finally here, let's go!" General Li shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of excitement and determination, the roar seemed to be able to break through the sky.
"Okay, General, today we have to let those guys taste our power!" A team member responded loudly, with a fierce light in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear the enemy apart in an instant.
Each team member's movements were clean and quick, their skills were extraordinary, and the courage and ruthlessness in their eyes seemed to be able to crush all obstacles in front of them in an instant.
Relying on the superb skills acquired through daily training, they rushed towards the three enemy soldiers guarding the city gates with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, he dealt with the guards cleanly and efficiently.
One of the team members wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Haha, these guys are too weak. Let's go and open the city gate!"
"Don't be careless. There are still tough battles to come." Another team member hurriedly reminded. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were still vigilant and he scanned the surroundings like an eagle.
In an instant, the flashes of swords and the sounds of killing were deafening. Before they stopped, the city gate that was originally closed had been successfully opened by them, just like an embrace to welcome their army into the city.
At the same time, these team members, who were familiar with the terrain of the city, did not stop there.
They were like nimble ghosts, relying on their familiarity with every blade of grass, every brick and every tile in the city, they quickly shuttled through the enemy's intricate fortifications. Their figures appeared and disappeared, and wherever they went, chaos suddenly broke out.
Before the enemy guards could react, several members of the team who were good at raiding had quietly reached the enemy's food depot.
"Here it is, get ready to light a fire!" One team member lowered his voice, staring at the granary like a cheetah staring at its prey.
"Okay, success or failure depends on this, so everyone be careful!" another team member responded. His voice was low but full of nervousness, and his palms were full of sweat.
After saying that, they seized the opportunity, silently saying "success or failure depends on this one move", and quickly set fire to the granary.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke filled the air. The blazing flames were like a raging dragon, instantly engulfing the entire granary.
At this time, most of the enemy soldiers were still immersed in sleep. This sudden battle woke them up suddenly, and they were panicked and lost their composure.
Some of them were in disarray, buttoning their clothes in a hurry and looking around panicky.
Some of them didn't even have time to grab weapons, and ran out empty-handed, gathering together blindly, their faces filled with fear and confusion, like frightened lambs, not knowing what to do.
Bai Yuhao, who was sleeping, was awakened by the deputy general who ran in hurriedly and shouted at him.
"General... General, something terrible has happened! The enemy is attacking the city!" The deputy general shouted as he rushed into the tent, his voice particularly harsh in the silent night.
Bai Yuhao suddenly sat up from the couch, his head still a little fuzzy. A trace of panic flashed across his sleepy eyes for a moment, but soon, the panic was replaced by anger.
He grabbed the sword beside him with a "swish", and the scabbard made a crisp sound when it hit the bed, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
"What did you say? Say it again!" Bai Yuhao roared at the deputy general who came to report. His voice became a little distorted due to anger and hoarseness from just waking up. He looked as if he wanted to eat the deputy general alive.
The deputy general was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly reported again: "I don't know what tricks Yu Gongyu used. Our external aid has been cut off, and the internal and external support has been completely disrupted. Now our army has been surrounded and the situation is extremely critical!"
When Bai Yuhao heard this, he felt dizzy and there was a buzzing sound in his mind, as if countless bees were flying around in it.
He never imagined that the situation, which was once sure to win, would turn so bad overnight.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! It's because of you good-for-nothings' incompetence that Yu Gongyu got the opportunity to take advantage of you!" Bai Yuhao cursed loudly, pacing frantically in the tent like a trapped beast.
The sword in his hand was waving wildly in the air as he moved, scaring the surrounding soldiers into retreating for fear of being hurt by the blade.
However, no amount of scolding would help at this moment. Bai Yuhao knew in his heart that in the current situation, they were doomed.
But he was unwilling to be defeated so easily. He was Bai Yuhao, how could he tolerate himself becoming a prisoner?
"Pass on my order! Gather five thousand elite soldiers immediately and follow me to break out of the siege!" Bai Yuhao gritted his teeth and roared viciously, with a hint of determination in his eyes, as if that look could burn away all the difficulties before him.
Soon, 5,000 elite soldiers quickly assembled outside the main camp. They all looked serious. Although they were somewhat confused about Bai Yuhao's decision at this time, the military order was as firm as a mountain. They could only hold their weapons tightly and prepare to fight to the death with the general.
Bai Yuhao looked at the five thousand elite soldiers in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He had expectations for them, hoping that they could help him break out of the siege; but he also felt guilty towards the other trapped soldiers. After all, if he left, the fate of those soldiers would be worrying.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about so many things, saving his life was the top priority.
"Let's go!" Bai Yuhao shouted, and rushed out like an angry bull. The five thousand elite soldiers also shouted in unison and followed closely behind him. The shouting seemed to make the night tremble.
At this moment on the battlefield, shouts of killing were deafening and flames were shooting into the sky.
Umiya Tama's army surged in from all directions like a tide, surrounding Bai Yuhao's army.
Bai Yuhao led the elite soldiers to charge left and right, waving the sword in his hand constantly. Every swing brought up a flower of blood. His eyes were red, and he had already been blinded by killing.
"Charge! If you get out, you will be rewarded!" Bai Yuhao shouted at the top of his lungs.
Trying to boost the morale of the soldiers with generous rewards, that voice sounded particularly loud on the battlefield raging with flames.
However, Umiya Tama's army had been prepared, and their encirclement was impenetrable. Although Bai Yuhao and others fought desperately, it was not easy to break out of the siege.
After a fierce battle, many soldiers fell beside Bai Yuhao, and most of the 5,000 elite soldiers were killed or wounded.
But fortunately, they finally made a breakthrough in an area where the defense was relatively weak.
Bai Yuhao was overjoyed when he saw this. He didn't care about the multiple injuries on his body. He took advantage of the chaos and led the remaining soldiers to rush out regardless of everything.
They ran wildly all the way, and the shouting and killing sounds behind them gradually faded away until they completely disappeared into the night.
The remaining soldiers who remained in the border county, facing the heavy encirclement of Umiya Tama's army, fought hard, but were ultimately outnumbered and without the guidance of their commander, and fell into chaos.
