In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

At General Guan's command, dozens of guards rushed into the camp and subdued Cao Li and his trusted subordinates.

"General, what do you mean by this!"

"Did Song Jie frame me?!"

Cao Li, who was being held down, was terrified and kept shouting. The other officers, seeing this scene, stood up in fright and stared at General Guan in shock.

After Cao Li was subdued, Li Yi stepped out from behind the screen and looked at Cao Li on the ground.

"Is it you?"

Seeing Li Yi walk out, Cao Li looked flustered and instantly understood what was going on.

"General, listen to me, I..."

Before Cao Li could finish speaking, General Guan stepped forward and kicked Cao Li.

"What do you have to say?"

"You've completely disgraced our great Chen!"

General Guan threw the secret letter and other documents in front of Cao Li and looked around at the many officers in the camp.

"Cao Li colluded with the Qing Kingdom, intending to surrender Qinghe County to them from within. Now that the evidence is conclusive, he is dismissed from his position as Sima (military commander), and Song Jie will temporarily take over as Sima and command the army!"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the crowd fell silent, some even glaring fiercely at Cao Li.

In the recent battle to defend the city, many of their subordinates and confidants died at the hands of the Qing Kingdom.

Under General Guan's tough measures, officers who had close ties with Cao Li were all taken into custody, and the entire military camp was placed under strict control.

Loose on the outside, tight on the inside; allow entry but not exit.

Meanwhile, scouts, carrying General Guan's orders, quietly left the camp.

"Yi-ge, you're really something!"

Upon returning to the military camp, Han Jia was so shocked to hear that Cao Li had been captured and that Song Jie had temporarily taken over as commander that he was speechless with disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense and get some rest. We have a tough battle this afternoon!"

Li Yi glared at Han Jia with annoyance, then lowered his head to organize his own equipment.

According to Hu Cao's plan, this afternoon, a squad of soldiers under Cao Li's command will make contact with the Qing Kingdom army under the guise of patrolling, lead them along a side road to the vicinity of Black Stone Town, launch a surprise attack, and annihilate the Chen Kingdom army stationed there.

Now that Cao Li has been captured, Li Yi will lead his men to lure the Qing Kingdom army into the ambush site chosen by General Guan.

Time passed by, and soon it was noon.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Li Yi, along with Han Jia and ten other carefully selected elite soldiers, pretended to be on a routine patrol and left the military camp along the predetermined route.

About an hour later, Li Yi and the others arrived at a dense forest.

Looking at the dense forest, Li Yi gave Han Jia a wink, and then whistled.

Three long and two short, repeated three times.

After whistling, Li Yi looked at the dense forest and listened quietly.

Wow ~

Wow ~

Wow ~

A moment later, three strange cries came from the dense forest.

Upon seeing this, Li Yi quickly responded.

Before long, four or five lean men emerged from the dense forest.

This is a Qing Kingdom spy!

Looking at these people, Li Yi instantly remembered the two spies he had secretly killed in the Hundred Wood Forest.

Upon seeing the person appear, Li Yi took out a bent iron block and held it high.

"Are the people on the other side friends from Qing Kingdom?"

Seeing the iron block in Li Yi's hand, the burly man leading the group also picked up an iron block and raised it high.

The atmosphere in the dense forest suddenly became much more relaxed.

The two groups quickly gathered together, and after piecing the two iron blocks together, the Qing Kingdom spy smiled as he looked at the perfectly fitted round tree branch.

"How is it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi nodded and said:

"Currently, there are only a thousand soldiers stationed in Blackstone Town. The western city wall is entirely manned by my master. When you attack, you can feign an attack on the other three locations and place your main force and elite troops on the western city wall."

"At that time, we will cooperate with you and let you into the city!"

These were all false military intelligence reports that Li Yi and General Guan had agreed upon in advance, in order to deceive these Qing Kingdom soldiers.

After sharing some true and false information, Li Yi added:

"By the way, the half-hour before dinner is the shift change, and also the time when Blackrock Town is at its least vigilant. You can attack at that time!"

"Alright, I'll go back and report to my superiors. Please tell your master that we will keep our promise when the city falls!"

The Qing Kingdom spy noted down the intelligence and then led his men into the dense forest.

Watching the Qing Kingdom spy disappear, Han Jia, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, whispered:

"I really want to kill these bastards right now."

Han Jia's father was injured by these Qing Kingdom soldiers.

Listening to Han Jia's complaints, Li Yi offered a few words of comfort, and then led everyone to continue patrolling, lest the Qing Kingdom spies in the shadows become suspicious.

When Li Yi and his group returned to the military camp, the entire camp was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

"General, we have already passed the false intelligence to the Qing Kingdom spies, and it seems they have not suspected anything."

After returning to the military camp, Li Yi immediately reported the situation to General Guan.

Now, both the Qinghe County government office and Heishi Town have been sealed off by the general's men, making it difficult for news to spread about the fire at the Household Affairs Office or the arrest of Cao Li and others.

"good!"

General Guan's expression changed drastically, and he laughed and cursed, "Wait a few more hours, and I'll make sure these Qing Kingdom bastards never return!"

Without Cao Li's restraint and interference, Song Jie now commands the military camp with ease.

The entire Blackstone Town military camp and Qinghe County were operating according to the established plan under Song Jie's command.

As the sun moved forward and dusk fell, a wisp of smoke rose from the military camp.

This is the kitchen staff cooking and preparing dinner.

As the smoke rose from the chimneys, birds flew about in the distance, and a cloud of dust billowed into the sky.

Seeing this, Li Yi's heart stirred.

The Qing Kingdom army has indeed fallen for the trap!

Before long, in the distance, squads of Qing Kingdom light cavalry suddenly charged toward Blackstone Town.

Boom boom boom!

On the beacon tower of Blackstone Town, the warning drums sounded instantly.

"The Qing Kingdom has attacked! Get back to your posts immediately!"

As the military order was given, the soldiers who had eaten their dry rations in advance quickly picked up their weapons and returned to the city wall.

Behind the city walls, even more Chen soldiers were hidden!

"Come with me!"

Seeing this, Li Yi waved his hand and led his original ten archer subordinates, along with Han Jia and others who had gone to deliver false intelligence that afternoon, straight to the western city wall.

The Qing Kingdom has already fallen into their trap, and only a few steps remain!

"Master Li!"

"Squad leader!"

As soon as Li Yi arrived at the western city wall, the more than one hundred soldiers there immediately stood up to greet him.

In this scheme against the Qing Kingdom, Li Yi played a very important role, so General Guan specially ordered Li Yi to command the western city wall.

Boom!

Boom!

The Qing Kingdom's light cavalry quickly approached Blackstone Town, waving their arms around it.

Seeing this, Li Yi quickly shouted:

"Put on a mask!"

Just as hundreds of soldiers put on their masks, the Qing Kingdom's light cavalry threw many black balls onto the city wall.

This is a mechanical contraption researched by the sorcerers of the Qing Kingdom. It can release a pungent gas that affects the combat effectiveness of the defending soldiers.

This tactic was used when the Qing Kingdom first attacked Blackstone Town.

As the black ball shattered on the city wall, many soldiers were affected. The Qing Kingdom light cavalry quickly retreated, while squads of Qing Kingdom infantry, wielding broadswords, pushed ladders and charged towards the Black Stone Town city wall.

"The Qing Kingdom has indeed spared no expense, sending three thousand men!"

With a quick glance, Li Yi could roughly gauge the number of the attacking Qing Kingdom army.

These infantrymen attacked from all sides of Blackstone Town, while the soldiers guarding the west city wall under Li Yi's orders kept firing arrows, but the arrows were weak and inaccurate.

One party has intention and the other party has intention.

Soon, more than a thousand Qing Kingdom soldiers gathered at the western city wall.

Seeing this, Li Yi, in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Revenue and the State of Qing, quickly ordered Han Jia to raise a large blue flag.

The flag features the banyan tree emblem popular in Qing Kingdom.

As soon as the banyan flag was raised, the soldiers of the Qing Kingdom became instantly excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

At the same time, Li Yi led his men to throw many ropes down from the city wall.

Han Jia led his men to feign blocking the junction of the west city wall and other city walls, preventing soldiers from the other city walls from coming to stop Li Yi.

"Haha, this traitor from Chen Kingdom is indeed quite capable!"

A Qing Kingdom centurion looked at the ropes Li Yi kept throwing down and the chaotic city walls with an excited expression.

If Li Yi could see this man, he would recognize that this Qing Kingdom centurion was the Qing Kingdom spy he had previously contacted.

"Pour it on!"

Seeing that the situation in Blackstone Town was exactly as agreed, the Qing Kingdom centurion was instantly overjoyed and led the charge up the city wall.

In an instant, a steady stream of Qing Kingdom troops climbed up the western city wall using ropes lowered from it.

With Li Yi's deliberate cooperation, the Qing soldiers who had rushed up the city wall were swept along towards the inner wall.

"Qinghe County is ours now!"

Seeing the 1,500 Qing Kingdom soldiers rushing into Blackstone Town, the Qing Kingdom centurion leading them quickly ordered his men to wave the military flag and issue various commands.

But just as the commander of the Qing Kingdom was feeling triumphant, the rope that had been lowered suddenly snapped.

What's going on?

The centurion suddenly turned around and saw Han Jia, who had previously blocked the Chen soldiers from other directions, suddenly turn around and slash at the Qing soldiers beside him with his nine-ringed broadsword.

The two groups that had been fiercely fighting suddenly merged and worked together to slaughter the bewildered Qing Kingdom soldiers.

On the other side, Li Yi, who had retreated to another section of the city wall, repeatedly drew his bow and shot arrows, severing the hanging ropes.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

As the sound of war drums rang out, a large number of Chen soldiers emerged from behind the inner walls on both the north and south sides of the city.

The Qing Kingdom centurion glanced around and realized that there were at least two thousand Chen Kingdom soldiers!

"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap!"

The centurion instantly flew into a rage, staring intently at Li Yi, who was shooting through the ropes.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi felt his blood boiling.

"Kill them! Kill all these Qing Kingdom bastards!"

Li Yi raised his arm and shouted, and five iron arrows instantly landed on the iron-framed bow.

Five planets aligned!

call out!

In an instant, five Qing Kingdom soldiers were shot in the neck and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

The more than 1,000 Qing soldiers now surrounded are, in Li Yi's eyes, a living example of mobile warfare!

After luring these Qing Kingdom soldiers into an ambush, Li Yi, like a god of death, continuously shot out iron arrows, and one soldier after another fell to the ground.

Under Li Yi's expectant gaze, the experience points for the [Archery] skill on the skill panel were rapidly increasing!
