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

Duan Tianyang also looked tired. He first conducted a detailed inspection of his soldiers to ensure that they were safe and sound, then slowly walked to Zheng Guang and the other generals.

His eyes were deep and he asked with concern: "Can you generals still bear it?"

Except for Zheng Guang, all the generals stood up, saluted, and said in a firm voice: "Sir, we can still hold on."

After saying this, everyone turned their attention to Zheng Guang.

Zheng Guang, as a corps commander, looked extremely weak at this moment. He leaned weakly, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were purple, and his whole body was wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

As a literary general, he did not have the physique for martial arts, and compared with those generals who practiced martial arts, his physical strength was naturally inferior.

Seeing this, Duan Tianyang felt nervous and quickly squatted down and asked in a gentle voice: "General Zheng, how do you feel?"

Zheng Guang forced a smile and said in a weak and intermittent voice: "My Lord, I am fine..."

Duan Tianyang took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to Zheng Guang. At the same time, he looked around and asked again: "General Zheng, how far is Jinling Town from here?"

Zheng Guang took the water bag, took a sip, and then his expression eased a little. He panted and answered, "This place is only a hundred miles away from Jinling Town."

Duan Tianyang nodded and said, "We have to get to Jinling Town before sunrise. At dawn, the enemy is the most slack and the defense is the weakest. It is a good opportunity for a surprise attack."

Zheng Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said seriously, "Your Excellency, I have the same idea."

After saying that, he tried to stand up with his hands, but failed repeatedly, which showed that he was physically exhausted.

Duan Tianyang sighed inwardly, knowing that if he forced his way forward, Zheng Guang might not be able to make it to Jinling Town.

He turned to Lu Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, you lead a few brothers to stay and take care of General Zheng, and the rest of you follow me and continue on your journey."

Zheng Guang was extremely anxious when he heard this. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he managed to stand up despite his shaky body. He said anxiously, "Sir, this tactic was proposed by me. I have no choice but to do it myself."

"But your body..." Duan Tianyang's worry was evident in his words.

Zheng Guang said firmly: "Don't worry, sir. I can still hold on."

After saying that, Lu Jingyuan stepped forward and said, "Brother Tian, ​​let me carry General Zheng on my back for the rest of the journey!"

Duan Tianyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Alright."

After a brief rest, Duan Tianyang and his party set out on their journey again, heading straight for Jinling Town.

The night was as dark as ink, and the group moved forward silently until the eve of dawn, when two thousand Hongxing soldiers led by Duan Tianyang quietly arrived at the edge of Jinling Town.

Jinling Town is a towering city with high walls. If the enemy is well-defended, it will undoubtedly be a tough battle to capture the city.

At this moment, everyone was lurking outside the east gate of Jinling Town, only two miles away from the city gate. They all held their breath and stared at the hazy city tower in the night.

The flickering flames on the city walls revealed the outlines of the defenders, but their exact number was difficult to discern.

Duan Tianyang stared for a moment, then whispered an order: "Pass the order down, have the soldiers take off their armor, crawl on the ground, and be sure to remain silent and not alarm the defenders."

The order was passed on quickly, and the soldiers took off their armor and only wore light military uniforms. They followed Duan Tianyang and advanced forward silently like ghosts.

Just as Zheng Guang expected, the garrison in Jinling Town had been greatly reduced to less than 10,000 people. In the middle of the night, the patrolling guards were even sparse and could be counted only a few.

Jinling Town, once the front line of war, has now quietly transformed into a peaceful rear area of ​​the battlefield.

The imperial army was firmly locked inside Mucheng, so the defenders' vigilance was completely gone. The soldiers on guard held their spears and took a nap leisurely on the top of the city wall.

Duan Tianyang, like a lurking cheetah, slowly crawled forward on the ground, his eyes as sharp as torches, closely watching every move on the top of the city wall.

From two miles away to Jinling Town, which was less than a hundred steps away, he did not see a single patrol team, which showed how lax the defense of Jinling Town was.

This situation made Duan Tianyang sigh inwardly. Zheng Guang's plan was so accurate and hit the most vulnerable part of the Jin army.

He licked his dry lips gently. Although his heart was turbulent, his face remained calm.

As he got closer to his goal, he became more calm instead of impatient, crawling slower and slower, making sure every step was silent.

Finally, the moat of Jinling Town came into view.

Duan Tianyang stopped by the river and waved his hand gently. Everyone immediately understood what he meant and nodded in response.

Afterwards, two thousand Hongxing soldiers led by Duan Tianyang sneaked into the moat silently one after another like ghosts.

Fortunately, the river was not turbulent, so everyone held their breath and swam slowly to the other side...

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Duan Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the water droplets on his face, looked up at the top of the city wall, and nodded slightly to Lu Jingyuan beside him, who instantly understood his meaning.

Then, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer and five other members of the Hidden Martial Hall lined up neatly at the foot of the wall. Their figures were suddenly swallowed by the black mist. In a flash, the five of them appeared out of thin air on the top of the city wall...

The range of the Concealment Technique is affected by the cultivation level of the hidden warrior. The strength of the cultivation level determines the range of the Concealment Technique.

Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer and other five members of the Hidden Martial Hall have all reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm.

With such skills, they can use the technique of hiding and easily jump to the top of the city wall which is more than ten meters high.

As soon as the five people appeared on the top of the city wall, they quickly squatted down and examined the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.

Within their sight, not far away, two Jin soldiers were dozing off while leaning against an arrow pile, with their spears placed across the ground, their heads drooping, and snoring one after another.

Lu Jingyuan turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed again on the other side of the city wall. There, the two Jin army guards, although not sitting on the ground, had fallen asleep while standing, their bodies swaying slightly involuntarily.

He quickly examined the defense of this section of the city wall, and then made several precise gestures in succession.

Hua Duoer and the other four understood what he meant instantly, and they skillfully performed the Hidden Escape Technique, appearing beside the four guards like ghosts.

The four men moved almost synchronously, silently covering the guard's mouth, then either pierced his heart with a sword or slit his throat to death. Their movements were clean and efficient, leaving no room for maneuver.

However, after dealing with the guard, one member inadvertently neglected the spear in the other's hand. As the body slowly fell to the ground, the spear slipped and the gun body hit the square bricks of the city wall, making a crisp and harsh "clang" sound.

This sudden sound broke the silence of the night like thunder.

Not far away, a guard who was lying in the shadow of the arrow chopper was awakened by the sound. He sat up dazedly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and muttered incoherently: "What's going on..."
