Gao Shun left the hill and avoided everyone's gaze. He went to a place covered by trees alone and circulated his true qi to send out a special signal at a specific frequency. This was the communication method of the Shadow Guards. They all cultivated a martial art that Zhao Chen had created himself. They could receive messages from others and reduce the risk of being exposed.
Not long after, a series of light air-piercing sounds sounded out. Gao Shun knew that Shadow Kill had arrived. As he expected, a dozen shadow guards wearing black light armor and black ghost masks arrived in front of him. A man wearing a Yama's Ghost Mask and a Ghost Mask Ring walked out from the crowd.
"Shadow Guard greets Lord!" Other than the man with the Yama's Ghost Mask, all the Shadow Guards knelt down on one knee and bowed. The Yama's Shadow Guard was Shadow Kill, the commander of the Shadow Guards and the person with the highest martial strength. Although his strength was only at the peak of the Houtian Realm, he was an assassination expert. Ordinary Xiantian experts were not his match. He could be said to be the god of death in the dark.
Shadowthorn slightly bowed and cupped his fists at Gao Shun.""General Gao Shun, did the lord order the Shadow Guards?”
Gao Shun nodded and told Shadowthorn what Zhao Chen had instructed him to do. Shadowthorn immediately agreed. I will not disappoint you. Please wait for half an incense stick to burn here, and you will get the information the lord wants. After saying that, he instructed the Shadow Guards beside him in a low voice.
The five shadow guards immediately stepped forward and circulated their qinggong. Their toes tapped on the branches and they disappeared in front of everyone in a short while. Shadow Killer waved his hand to let the other five Shadow Guards return to their original positions and continue to monitor the surroundings for any suspicious movements.
He stood together with Gao Shun and looked into the distance. They were silent as they waited for news.
In less than half an incense stick of time, the original five Shadow Guards could be seen rapidly approaching. A few seconds later, the shadow guards came to report. They handed a piece of cloth filled with pictures to Shadow Killer.
Shadowthorn checked it and found no mistakes. It was dangerous, so he handed it to Gao Shun. Gao Shun received the cloth and examined it carefully. Not only was his face filled with joy, as expected of the Shadow Guards that his lord had spent a lot of effort to nurture. How could they have obtained the defensive map in such a short time? Not bad, this battle was almost certain.
Gao Shun thanked Shadowthorn and hurriedly went to report. Shadowthorn was left standing on the spot. The wind blew his clothes and he disappeared into the forest.
Zhao Chen had already seen the layout map that Gao Shun had brought back. He and Gao Shun had made some changes to the original plan according to this map before giving the battle order to the other generals. After the Breaking Ranks Camp explodes the city gate, we will head directly to the camp to suppress the rest of the defenders. I will lead half of the cavalry to attack the government office of Lu County and capture the enemy generals. The remaining cavalry will go to the camp to listen to General Gao Shun's command. The remaining half will guard the city gate and not let the enemy escape. Prepare to execute the order!
"Yes, sir!"
The sky had already darkened, and the plan was about to begin. Gao Shun led a hundred soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Camp and a few captives of the Zhao Army. He put on the uniform of the Zhao Army on top of the armor and smeared his face with chicken blood and duck blood. He made himself look very embarrassed. Then, he slowly walked out of the dark and walked towards Lu County.
When the guards of Lu County who were about to close the city gate saw Gao Shun and the others, they were shocked."Who are you? Stop right there!" With his shout, be it the guards at the city gates or the guards on the city walls, they all aimed their weapons and bows at Gao Shun and the others.
。Gao Shun used the hilt of his sword to poke the captive of the Zhao army. This captive of the Zhao army quivered and quickly replied,"Buttface, don't you recognize me? I'm Niu Er. We grew up together."
That guard carefully looked at Gao Shun and the others, and only then did he realize," Niu Er, how did you become like this? Weren't you working in Ying County?
"This matter is difficult to explain in a few words. Our county was suddenly ambushed by the Qin army and the lieutenant was killed.”
As Niu Er spoke, he shed tears. After all, this was the truth. He had been captured by the Qin army and his family was in the hands of the Qin army. He was reminded of the scene. Seeing him like this, the guard finally believed him. He waved his hand, signaling the others to let down their guard, indicating that what he said was true and asking them to come closer.
The guard came to Niu Er's side and patted his shoulder." I'll bring you to report to the general.
Just as he was talking about drawing, Gao Shun suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at him. Gao Shun hit the target with one strike, pushed Niu Er away, and rushed towards the other defenders. When the soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Camp saw Gao Shun's actions, they also took action. Some of them followed Gao Shun to guard the city gate and did not let it close. Some of them used the crossbows they carried with them to shoot at the enemies on the city wall.
"Xiu, xiu, xiu." Sharp arrows pierced through the enemy's throat.
"Enemy attack!" A mournful cry spread throughout the entire city. The originally quiet city suddenly became chaotic.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen led the charge." Soldiers, kill! All units, act according to plan."
Zhao Chen took the lead and arrived at the city gate. He drew his bow and shot down several enemy soldiers who tried to close the city gate.
"Quick, close the city gates!" A squad leader shouted desperately for his subordinates to close the city gates. At this time, Gao Shun was fighting in the city. If he was allowed to close the city gates, Gao Shun and the others would become turtles in a jar.
Zhao Chen panicked. He could only circulate all the True Qi in his body and gather all the Xiantian True Qi on the weapon. Look at this move of mine! Ah!"
A dazzling red light lit up the five-meter area around the city gate. The red light surrounded Zhao Chen's entire body and he charged straight at the city gate. He merged with the halberd in his hand and hit the city gate in one fell swoop.
"Boom!" After a loud bang, the city gate that was slowly closing turned into pieces on the ground. Zhao Chen had only just revealed himself, and he was gasping for breath on his horse. He had used up too much stamina and True Qi just now, and he was a little exhausted.
However, Great Qin's Cavalry had also charged in, and after a series of slashes, they slaughtered the enemy soldiers like they were chopping melons and vegetables before charging towards the government office as planned.
The Breaking Ranks also joined the battle. They were outside the camp, shooting three times with their javelins. Sharp guns shot towards the tents, tearing them apart. The soldiers were all shot and killed.
Only some soldiers who had already put on armor and picked up shields were able to survive. After the Breaking Ranks had finished shooting the javelins, under Gao Shun's command, they charged forward bravely and used their formation to crush the enemy. The enemy troops were not in formation and were like scattered soldiers without discipline. They died under the offensive of the Breaking Ranks.
The Breaking Ranks were divided into three rows. The first row of sword-shield soldiers protected the soldiers behind them and blocked the enemy's attacks. The second row of spearmen attacked from the dark. The last row of archers fired continuously. This was one of the simplest and most practical formations of the Breaking Ranks. Soon, the Breaking Ranks completed their mission. A small portion of the enemy surrendered, and the rest died. Only a few of their own were injured, and no one died.
After Gao Shun ended the battle, he immediately left behind a portion of his men to tidy up the captives and the spoils of war. He also cleaned up the battlefield and killed the heavily injured enemy soldiers. They had no time to take care of the enemy's heavily injured soldiers, so they could only do this. The rest of the people began to restore order in the city and appease the people.
As the cavalry charged towards the government office, Zhao Chen joined the battle. He had already achieved a high level of body refinement, so his recovery speed was very fast. He recovered in a short while. Zhao Chen led the cavalry to break through the enemy formation.
He slashed left and right, and limbs flew everywhere along the way. The group was filled with killing intent, and in a short while, all the enemy troops were wiped out. There was not a single captive, and only five of the entire army were injured. It could be said to be a hearty victory. After Zhao Chen ended the battle, he started to clean up the aftermath. He organized the spoils of war and comforted the people.
They also eliminated the scouts and paid attention to the surroundings to prevent their whereabouts from being revealed.
They ended the battle almost at the same time. Zhao Chen and Gao Shun had been busy dealing with the aftermath until the moon was high in the sky.
