The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

In fact, as Duan Tianyang expected, the Jin army only used catapults and did not send any troops up the mountain.

As time passed, the tension and uneasiness in Zhu Wu's heart gradually dissipated.

He now understood the Jin army's strategy - they operated the catapults non-stop all night long, simply to prevent their own soldiers from getting enough rest, attempting to exhaust the Hongxing army through attrition tactics.

During the initial period, the Jin army's catapults frequently fired stones at the Qinba tribe, but gradually, only a few were still working, and the intervals between each launch were increasing.

The reason for this is obvious. Each time the catapult is launched, a large amount of stones is consumed, and the Jin army's reserves are not endless.

Although there is no shortage of stone around the Chimba tribe, mining and preparing these stones requires time and manpower.

Although the Jin army's attack pace slowed down, they did not seem to intend to stop.

In the second half of the night, the Second Corps took over from the Third Corps and continued to operate catapults to carry out long-range attacks on the Chimba tribe.

It was almost midnight when a group of people quietly emerged from the bushes on the east side of the Qinba tribe.

They were dressed in the uniforms of the Hongxing Army, crawling on the ground, and quietly advancing forward with the cover of night and wheat fields.

This "Hongxing Army" is actually the Shura Team and the Personal Guard Battalion led by Chang Sheng.

The Jin army's tactics were indeed ingenious. They used long-range attacks from catapults to make it difficult for the Hongxing army to settle down, and they launched surprise attacks in the dead of night when people were most sleepy.

After a night of struggle, the Hongxing Army must have thought that the Jin Army was just bluffing, so they were careless in guarding and most of them had fallen asleep.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Jin army sent the Shura Team and the Royal Guard Battalion, disguised as the Hongxing Army, to sneak up the mountain, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Hongxing Army on the mountain.

If the plan goes well, this surprise force will become a sharp sword that pierces the heart of the Hongxing Army.

Interestingly, the time for the counterattack by the Jin army and Duan Tianyang was both set at the hour of Chou.

What’s even more interesting is that the Jin army was now wearing the uniforms and armor of the Hongxing army, while Duan Tianyang’s side was wearing the clothing of the Jin army.

While the Shura Team and the Royal Guards Camp were quietly advancing in the wheat field, Duan Tianyang, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, Gu Jianhong and the disciples of the Linghua Palace also quietly went down the mountain through the secret passage on the top of the mountain, also using the wheat field as cover and advancing towards the woods.

The two groups of people were running in opposite directions in the wheat field, neither of them aware of the other's existence, but the distance between them was constantly shrinking.

When the two sides approached the middle of the wheat field, Duan Tianyang was the first to notice something unusual.

There was not only a sense of oppression ahead, but also a rustling sound, as if someone was lurking in the wheat field like them.

He raised his arm, signaling his companions to stop moving forward, and released his mental power.

Almost at the same time, Chang Sheng also ordered his men to stop advancing, narrow their eyes, and listen carefully to the movements ahead.

The two sides were more than ten meters apart, both lying in the wheat field with bated breath, as if time had stopped. The only sound at the scene was the rustling of wheat stalks in the night wind.

Time passed, and both sides remained motionless like stone statues.

Duan Tianyang's eyes gradually became deep. He slowly reached to his waist, grasped the hilt of his sword, and slowly pulled out the sword.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, Gu Jianhong and others immediately understood that Duan Tianyang had discovered the presence of enemies ahead.

Duan Tianyang turned around and made a few gestures to Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer, signaling them to take action.

The two of them then took off the black bow from their shoulders, drew out a black arrow, pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and pointed the arrow straight at the sky.

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, two black arrows streaked across the sky like meteors, then drew an elegant arc in the air and fell rapidly.

The two arrows pierced directly into the wheat field in front of Duan Tianyang and others. In an instant, two shrill screams echoed in the wheat waves.

Chang Sheng, who was extremely nervous, turned back suddenly and was surprised to find that two soldiers from the personal guard camp had each had a black arrow stuck in their backs.

His heart was shaken, and he instantly jumped up from the ground, shouting: "Enemy attack!"

After saying this, he gripped his sword tightly and rushed out first.

His action was like an order. The soldiers of the Shura Team and the Royal Guard Camp stood up one after another, holding weapons, and charged forward in a mighty manner.

Duan Tianyang whispered to Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, and Gu Jianhong beside him: "Stop the enemy first, counterattack when you have the chance, and retreat when the situation is unfavorable. I have to go around!"

"Brother Tian, ​​you..."

Duan Tianyang interrupted them and said with a firm look: "If we don't kill the enemy commander tonight, we will be the ones to die tomorrow!"

After saying this, without caring about the reactions of the three people, he resolutely crawled horizontally in the wheat field, trying his best to avoid the battlefield.

As he quickly crawled away, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, Gu Jianhong and others jumped out of the wheat field and engaged in a fierce battle with the oncoming enemies.

Looking at Duan Tianyang again, he did not look back, and quickly shuttled through the wheat field, crawling dozens of meters away in a short time.

When he was sure he was far away from the fighting, he turned around and continued crawling towards the woods.

This sudden battle happened to be the best cover for Duan Tianyang.

He moved silently through the wheat fields and into the dense woods.

After entering the woods, he did not rush deeper, but chose to squat under a big tree and listen carefully to the movements around him.

After a moment, making sure that there was no one around, he moved forward cautiously.

After walking for a distance, he stopped again, closed his eyes and listened to the sounds around him.

Then he changed his direction and slowly lay down in a patch of grass.

Not long after, two Jin soldiers holding torches passed by Duan Tianyang, patrolling as they walked, but did not notice him hiding in the bushes.

After the two men passed by, Duan Tianyang quietly stood up from the bushes and flashed behind the Jin soldiers like a ghost.

He quickly stretched out his arms, covered the man's mouth with one hand, and tightly wrapped the other arm around his neck. He exerted force suddenly, and with a "click" sound, the Jin soldier's neck was brutally strangled.

The Jin soldiers in front heard the strange noise behind them and immediately stopped to look back, only to see a limp corpse lying down.

Behind the corpse stood a stranger wearing his own military uniform and armor, which made people feel uneasy.

He was about to speak in astonishment, but Duan Tianyang stepped forward quickly, grabbed his neck tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Don't make a sound if you don't want to die!"

The Jin soldier was shrouded in fear and stared at Duan Tianyang with wide eyes.

Duan Tianyang slightly loosened his grip on the man's throat and asked expressionlessly, "Secret code!"

Seeing the other party's confused face, he repeated word by word: "Your code!"

Jin Bing's face was pale. He stared at Duan Tianyang and suddenly wanted to shout.

Duan Tianyang quickly tightened his palm which had just relaxed slightly, and his nails dug into the other person's skin.

He warned in a deep voice: "If you dare to make any sound, I will break your neck!" As he spoke, he increased the strength in his hands again.

Jin Bing's mouth opened wider and wider, his face turned red, and veins on his neck bulged.
