Chapter 1738 Kill them all!
It was just after midnight, the night was as dark as ink, and only sporadic insect chirping and faint firelight remained in the forest.
Zhao Yu, along with ten elite scouts, moved through the woods like a ghost.
Their movements were extremely light, and each step was made on the soft soil without making any sound.
The position of the secret sentry had long been figured out, but at this moment, these eyes hidden in the darkness were completely unaware of the coming of death.
"call out--"
A poisoned short arrow shot out from the air and accurately pierced the throat of the sentry on the treetop.
The man fell down softly without even a grunt, and was caught by the scout below, who gently laid him on the ground.
"The third one." Zhao Yu's eyes were cold and he made a gesture, indicating to move on.
In just a quarter of an hour, all six secret sentries were silently eliminated.
Only after Zhao Yu confirmed that no one was left out did he send a scout back to report.
Chu Ning stood on the hillside, gazing coldly at the camp in the distance.
The night wind blew, making his black cloak rustle.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao has succeeded!" The scout knelt on one knee and reported in a low voice.
A cold light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes. He slowly raised his hand and then swung it violently!
"kill!"
At the command, it exploded like thunder!
The elite Chu troops who had been lying in ambush for a long time suddenly rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards the camp like a tide.
The robbers guarding the village gate were shot through the throat by several sharp arrows before they could react, and they couldn't even make a warning sound.
"boom!"
The gate of the village was knocked open, and the Chu army came down the mountain like a tiger, with their long swords drawn and flashing cold light.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Finally one of the robbers woke up and screamed, but it was too late.
Zhao Yu took the lead, the spear in his hand swept across like a dragon, instantly piercing the chests of the two robbers.
Blood splattered and screams rang out one after another.
"Kill! Don't leave any one alive!" Zhao Yu shouted sternly.
The Chu army soldiers roared and rushed into the camp. Amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, the robbers fought hastily, but they could not stop this well-trained elite army.
The camp was instantly in chaos, and the ground was dyed red with blood under the light of the fire.
It was late at night. In the main tent in the center of the camp, the candlelight flickered, casting a dim light.
The strong man in the lead was sleeping soundly on a tiger-skin couch, snoring like thunder.
He was a burly man with a face full of flesh. Even when he was sleeping, there was still a fierce look between his brows.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps and panicked shouts were heard outside the tent.
"Sir! Sir! Something bad has happened!"
The sturdy man suddenly woke up, his eyes wide open with anger. He grabbed the long knife beside his pillow and shouted, "Who the hell is looking for death?"
The curtain was suddenly opened, and a subordinate rushed in, his face pale and his voice trembling:
"Sir, the Chu...Chu troops are charging in!"
"what?"
The burly man flew into a rage and kicked over the coffee table. The wine jug fell to the ground with a bang, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
"Where are the sentries? Are all the secret sentries dead? How come no one discovered it in advance?"
The subordinate trembled and said, "The sentries... were all killed! The Chu army came too fast, and our people had no time to react!"
The sturdy man's face was as gloomy as water, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "What a Chu Ning, to find this place so quickly!"
He stood up suddenly, grabbed his long sword, and strode out of the tent, cursing angrily: "A bunch of useless people! They can't even defend the camp!"
The subordinate hurriedly followed and said cautiously: "Sir, what should we do now? The Chu army has already rushed in, and our people can't stop them!"
The strong man sneered: "Can't stop it? Then make them pay the price!"
He paused, a sinister look flashing in his eyes: "Let's go, kill that old man first! We must not let Sun Simiao fall into Chu Ning's hands alive!"
The subordinate was shocked: "But...but he is our only bargaining chip!"
"Chips?"
The strong man sneered: "Now the camp is about to be breached, what bargaining chips are there? Kill him, and at least the Chu army will make a wasted trip!"
After saying that, he stopped talking and strode towards the cell where Sun Simiao was imprisoned, knife in hand. His men hurriedly followed behind him, their faces filled with panic.
Deep in the camp, in a simple cell, Sun Simiao sat in the corner with his hands chained.
His face was pale, but his eyes remained steady, as if he had anticipated this moment.
Suddenly, there were deafening shouts and cries outside, followed by hurried footsteps.
"boom!"
The cell door was kicked open and a burly man rushed in with a ferocious look on his face.
"The Chu army is here to rescue you!"
The burly man sneered: "Humph, you found this place so quickly, you must have a way to contact me!"
Sun Simiao raised his head and looked at him calmly: "I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never been involved in court affairs. It is a big mistake for you to arrest me."
"Shut up!" the burly man shouted angrily, "If you're not honest, old man, I'll kill you first!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew out his long sword, and with a flash of cold light, he chopped straight towards Sun Simiao's head!
"Whoosh!"
At the critical moment, a sharp arrow flew through the air and hit the sword accurately with a "clang" sound, making the strong man's palm numb and the long sword almost slip out of his hand.
"Who?" The strong man was shocked and turned around suddenly.
At the door of the cell, a young man in black clothes stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as cold as ice.
Behind him, dozens of elite soldiers of the Chu State stood with swords in their hands, looking murderous.
The sturdy man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Chu Ning!"
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes: "Oh? You know me?"
He walked forward slowly, his voice low and dangerous: "I am very curious about your identity."
The sturdy man's face was gloomy and uncertain, and suddenly he laughed cruelly: "You want to know my identity? I won't tell you!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his knife and rushed towards Chu Ning!
"court death!"
Chu Ning snorted coldly, threw away the longbow, reached out to take the spear handed to him by the personal guard, and with a flash of his body, the spear shot out like a dragon!
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the cell. The strong man's sword skills were ferocious and every move was deadly.
However, Chu Ning's gun was faster and more powerful!
In just three rounds, Chu Ning pierced the strong man's shoulder with a gun, then turned his hand and the tip of the gun directly cut across his throat!
"Puff--" Blood gushed out, the strong man opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground with a bang.
Sun Simiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me!"
Chu Ning nodded slightly. "Doctor Sun, there's no need to be so polite. The battle is still going on outside. Please wait here."
"Your Majesty wants to..."
"That's right, I will kill these robbers with my own hands!" Chu Ning's eyes were filled with murderous intent. After he finished speaking, he strode out of the cell with a spear in hand.
Inside the camp, the battle was coming to an end.
Under the overwhelming military force, the robbers were defeated and corpses were everywhere.
Zhao Yu was covered in blood, and no one could stop him wherever his spear passed.
The Chu army soldiers were in high spirits and swept through the area, forcing the remaining robbers into a corner.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhao Yu shouted sternly.
However, none of these robbers surrendered. Instead, they fought back desperately. It was obvious that they were all death warriors!
Chu Ning watched coldly, then suddenly raised his hand and said, "Kill them all."
"kill!"
The final encirclement and suppression began. The Chu army was like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves. With the flash of swords, the robbers fell one after another.
In just half an hour, more than a thousand robbers in the camp were all killed!
In the light of the fire, Chu Ning stood in the sea of corpses and blood, scanning the camp with cold eyes.
"Go search and see if you can find out their identities!"
