In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!
Chapter 50 Great Success
Under the cover of the cold wind and the night, Li Yi quickly led his men to quietly reach a point five miles away from the Qing Kingdom's camp.
This distance already marks the core of the Qing Kingdom's camp, where numerous scouts and light cavalry are constantly patrolling and maintaining vigilance.
It was precisely because of these constant warning lines that more than half of the scouts sent out by the Chen Kingdom were lost!
Under the intense patrols of Qing Kingdom scouts, the Wind Tiger Camp was forced to hide in a crevice.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Liu Ye looked at the group of Qing Kingdom scouts who had just passed by not far away, his face filled with solemnity and worry.
If they were discovered by Qing Kingdom scouts and their camp was alerted, not only would they be unable to complete their mission, but the five hundred men of the Wind Tiger Camp might not even be able to escape safely.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi smiled slightly and turned his attention to the skill panel.
[Reconnaissance and Concealment (Mastery): 1530/3200]
[Effect: Tracks and navigates, conceals presence!]
Over the past few months, Li Yi has also mastered the skill of [Reconnaissance and Concealment]!
Upon reaching the highest level, a new skill characteristic is unlocked.
[Group concealment]!
This skill feature makes Li Yi's Wind Tiger Camp more secretive and harder to detect.
In addition, another skill has also been greatly improved.
Hunting (Minor Mastery): 1120/1600
[Effect: Encirclement hunting! It is the highest level of hunting technique!]
After the [Hunting] skill was upgraded to the minor mastery level, a skill trait [Encirclement] was also successfully unlocked.
This skill trait has a very simple function, but its potential is extremely high.
[Hunting]!
[Effect: The more people participate in the hunt, the greater the increase in stealth, and the hunters' stats will also receive a corresponding boost!]
With a force of 500 men in the Wind Tiger Battalion, the improvement in stealth has exceeded Li Yi's expectations. His soldiers have also been enhanced by this feature, increasing their strength by at least 10%!
The skills [Reconnaissance and Concealment] and [Hunting] are the biggest reasons why Li Yi dared to volunteer to burn down the Qing Kingdom's granary!
Skill! Activate!
As Li Yi activated his skill, Han Jia and other powerful individuals instantly sensed a change, feeling themselves become lighter and stronger.
As the initiator and commander of this hunt, Li Yi received the greatest boost!
Originally at the fourth level of Body Refinement, he can now unleash the strength of the fifth level of Body Refinement!
"Come with me!"
Li Yi gave a soft order and then led the way to sneak towards the Qing Kingdom's camp.
With the enhancement of these two skills, the Wind Tiger Camp's movements were concealed to the greatest extent possible. Even the slightest footsteps and heavy breathing were hidden in the cold wind.
Even a troop of light cavalry that suddenly appeared didn't notice them and drove away from a distance of more than ten meters.
"As expected of Commander Sima, the 'Cloud-Piercing Arrow' echoed throughout Yanmen Pass!"
As the Qing Kingdom's camp drew ever closer, the many soldiers who had already joined out of admiration for Li Yi became even more convinced of his abilities.
After they became more convinced of Li Yi's abilities, the benefits brought by the [Hunting] trait became even stronger.
It was already past midnight, the time when people are most tired.
The entire Qing Kingdom camp had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Qing Kingdom's deputy general was no mere figurehead; he knew that this was the time when people were most exhausted.
Therefore, during this time period, the number of patrolling soldiers is three times that of other time periods.
This was to guard against a surprise attack from the State of Chen!
"But none of this works for me!"
Seeing the increasingly dense patrol teams, Li Yi smiled slightly, and then, with the help of his skills, led everyone into the camp.
As the main base of an army of 20,000, including logistics and horses, the entire camp had at least 30,000 survivors!
The entire camp stretched for miles, resembling a small town.
"Liu Ye, go!"
Soon, Li Yi and his group arrived near the granary.
Looking at the Qing soldiers stationed in this area, Li Yi led his personal guards and personally killed them one by one.
With the night watchmen no longer obstructing them, Li Yi, along with his personal guards and the First Battalion, a total of seventy-odd warriors, hid a large amount of oil in the grain.
"withdraw!"
Seeing another patrol of soldiers appear at the entrance to the granary, Li Yi quietly sneaked back outside the camp.
Under Han Jia's command, the Wind Tiger Camp had prepared cloth-bound iron arrows soaked in oil.
"Now!"
Li Yi took out the Seven Kill Bow, nocked an iron arrow coated with fire oil, and Liu Ye, who was standing nearby, quickly lit it.
A ball of fire appeared in the night.
call out!
Li Yi shot an arrow, which streaked through the air and landed in a camp.
In an instant, the tent that Li Yi and his men had doused with oil burst into flames.
As Li Yi made his move, his hundreds of elite archers from the Wind Tiger Camp, with the assistance of their colleagues, unleashed wave after wave of arrows composed of flames.
"Fire freely! Make sure every tent containing food is set on fire!"
Li Yi shouted and simultaneously unleashed the Five Stars in a Row technique, setting the camp ablaze.
In an instant, clusters of fires appeared in the Qing Kingdom's camp, the raging flames startling the patrolling soldiers.
"Oh no! There's a fire!"
"The granary is on fire! Help!"
Several soldiers shouted loudly and banged on their gongs, instantly waking up the entire Qing Kingdom camp. One by one, the soldiers, still sleepy-eyed, poked their heads out of their tents.
Many bonfires merged together, forming clusters of blazing flames that completely illuminated the night sky.
"What happened?"
A powerful voice rang out from the Qing Kingdom's central military camp.
"General Zhou, the granary is on fire!"
A guard ran back in a panic and reported to Zhou Cangbing, a lieutenant general of the Qing Kingdom.
"What? The granary is on fire?"
Zhou Cang was shocked and rushed out of the tent. He saw a large pile of flames burning fiercely, making crackling sounds.
Some of the rice and noodles were even roasted over a blazing fire, emitting a unique aroma.
"What happened? How could the grain warehouse catch fire?"
Seeing this, Zhou Cang felt a pang of anxiety and quickly donned his armor, rushing towards the granary.
"According to the centurion guarding the granary, a group of Chen soldiers infiltrated and set the granary ablaze!"
Chen State?
Zhou Cang was slightly taken aback, then revealed a sinister smile:
"What audacity! They actually dared to raid the camp!"
Zhou Cang held his broadsword upside down and rushed towards the granary.
"Pass down the order: the fire in the granary must be extinguished at all costs, and at the same time, the grain and fodder must be transported away as quickly as possible to minimize the losses!"
As a veteran general who had commanded troops for many years, Zhou Cang was well aware of the consequences of burning down the granary at this moment.
In an effort to salvage the grain supplies, he even dispatched his personal guards.
However, the most important reason why night raids are effective is that they can easily cause a mutiny within the camp!
Due to dietary issues, many soldiers from impoverished backgrounds suffer from varying degrees of night blindness.
After Li Yi led his men to raid the camp and burn down the granary, the entire Qing Kingdom camp was thrown into panic.
Han Jia led his infantry into the camp and slaughtered a wave of enemies.
In an instant, the soldiers were in complete chaos, running around and shouting throughout the camp.
The snow on the ground aggravated the effects of night blindness, and many soldiers, in their panic, stumbled and fell to the ground, only to be trampled to death by their panicked colleagues.
The number of Qing soldiers trampled to death quickly surpassed the number killed by Han Jia and his men.
The mutiny is a foregone conclusion!
shhhhhh!
Three rockets streaked across the sky, setting several tents ablaze.
After firing the arrow, Li Yi summoned Han Jia back, and then led the others away from the Qing Kingdom's camp.
We've successfully burned down the Qing Kingdom's granary, time to go!
"General, the soldiers have begun to mutinied; the granary is beyond saving!"
A guard rushed to Zhou Cang's side in a disheveled state, reporting the situation in the military camp.
Looking at the chaotic camp, Zhou Cang's expression hardened.
"You lead the supervisory team and calm these panicked soldiers down!"
"Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed without mercy!"
After sending out more elite soldiers from around his own camp to suppress the main camp, Zhou Cang captured several scouts. After finding out where Li Yi and the others were, he led his men straight to the outside of the military camp.
Tatata!
A series of hoofbeats rang out as Zhou Cang led a troop of cavalry in pursuit of Li Yi's figure.
Illuminated by the fire burning in the granary, the area around the military camp was almost as bright as day.
The whereabouts of Li Yi and his entourage have been clearly revealed.
"The pursuers are here!"
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a dignified military officer wielding a large sword charging towards him.
They have horses; they can't escape unless we take them out!
Li Yi instantly grasped the situation and quickly grabbed the Seven Kill Bow.
"Han Jia, form a defensive line with your men!"
"Archers, fire freely! Prioritize horses!"
The Wind Tiger Battalion immediately stopped and turned around to form a defensive line, sending a barrage of arrows straight at the charging cavalry.
Thanks to Li Yi's tireless training, no one in the Wind Tiger Battalion suffers from night blindness, and guided by Li Yi's night vision, they never miss their targets.
As waves of arrows rained down, many pursuers fell from their horses, and some horses were shot to death, breaking the legs of the cavalrymen on their backs.
"How dare you!"
"I will kill you today!"
Seeing that the other party not only did not run away, but also dared to fight back, Zhou Cang was instantly enraged. He squeezed hard, and his horse accelerated again, constantly closing the distance.
Li Yi has night vision, so he can see things just as well at night as he can during the day.
"He's a lieutenant general from the Qing Kingdom!"
Li Yi immediately recognized the approaching general as the Qing Kingdom's deputy general guarding the military camp!
It seems the plan to burn down the granary has succeeded!
The Qing Kingdom army must have suffered heavy losses in food supplies!
Otherwise, this lieutenant general would not have abandoned the granary and the panicked soldiers to pursue him!
With this thought in mind, Li Yi felt reassured and immediately took out several different sharp arrows from his quiver.
These arrows were specially crafted by Master Tang Yiping at Li Yi's request, and are custom-made arrowheads that can maximize the power of the Seven Kill Bow!
Each arrow costs at least three taels of silver to make!
Li Yi had tried shooting this kind of arrow with the Seven Killings Bow.
Even martial artists at the sixth or seventh level of body refinement dare not be careless, as they could be shot dead if they are not careful!
The Qing Kingdom's deputy general is a True Qi Realm martial artist, which is far beyond what a Body Refinement Realm martial artist can compare to!
With this in mind, Li Yi decided to go all out!
[Hunting]! Activate!
[Archery]! Activate!
Seven stars aligned! Activate!
Archery Technique! Activate!
[Wind-Breathing Breathing Technique]! Activate!
In an instant, Li Yi unleashed all the lethal skills he possessed, layering them onto the seven armor-piercing arrows.
"I almost forgot about you!"
A thought struck Li Yi, and the next moment, a gentle breeze appeared, swirling around the arrowhead.
After mastering the [Swift Breathing Technique] to its peak, Li Yi mastered a special kind of internal energy.
He named this powerful energy "Swift Wind Force"!
The gale force is extremely sharp and powerful, a force with immense destructive power!
After adding the Gale Force, Li Yi felt that the power of this arrow had at least doubled!
"Die!"
Li Yi's energy and spirit reached their peak, perfectly complementing the Seven Kill Bow in his hand.
shhhhhh!
Seven arrows were shot out and in an instant they struck Zhou Cang's face.
"You dare to display such petty tricks before me!"
Although the arrow was powerful, Zhou Cang was confident that he was a True Qi Realm martial artist and that a mere iron arrow was nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Zhou Cang swung his broadsword, trying to cut down the iron arrows.
when!
With a crisp sound, Zhou Cang's hand trembled slightly, and then three arrows struck the broadsword again. The powerful shock caused a minor injury to his arm.
"What kind of arrow is this?"
Zhou Cang was shocked. He hadn't expected that an arrow shot by a body-refining martial artist would have such great power.
But just as Zhou Cang was shocked, the remaining three arrows suddenly turned in mid-air and shot towards him from three different directions at the same time.
Through long-term exploration, Li Yi has mastered archery to an unparalleled level.
puff!
Zhou Cang wielded his sword with all his might, blocking two armor-piercing arrows, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his body.
On his shoulder, an armor-piercing arrow, propelled by the force of the wind on its tip, pierced through the armor and pierced Zhou Cang's shoulder.
"Arrow Rain! Triple Shot!"
Seeing that Zhou Cang had been hit, Li Yi dared not delay. While shooting another arrow, he commanded the Wind Tiger Camp to unleash a rain of arrows.
This time, however, Zhou Cang dared not be careless and relied on the powerful mobility of a True Qi Realm martial artist to dodge the armor-piercing arrow fired by Li Yi.
"Han Jia, assemble into battle formation and prepare for positional warfare!"
"Liu Ye, send the signal for General Guan to attack!"
After confirming that the Qing Kingdom army's supplies had been burned and the Qing Kingdom camp was in chaos, Li Yi quickly ordered Liu Ye to send a signal to the army hidden in the desert to launch an attack.
Upon receiving Li Yi's order, Liu Ye drew his bow and nocked an arrow. A sharp, resounding sound echoed far and wide.
This was the signal agreed upon by Li Yi and General Guan to launch the attack.
Although Zhou Cang dodged the armor-piercing arrows fired by Li Yi, most of the cavalry behind him were killed by the rain of arrows.
When the two armies clashed, Han Jia, who was already in full battle array, immediately led his elite infantry to surround and kill them.
With infantry holding the line and archers finishing off the remaining enemy soldiers, one Qing Kingdom cavalryman after another was cut down.
"Good lad, I'll give you a chance. Join my Qing Kingdom, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Seeing Li Yi commanding his subordinates with a calm expression, Zhou Cang had the idea of recruiting him and wanted to bring Li Yi under his command.
However, in response to Zhou Cang's offer of recruitment, Li Yi simply fired another arrow.
"Fine, since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!"
Now that the grain supplies have been burned and recruitment efforts have failed, Zhou Cang's appreciation for talent has completely vanished.
With gritted teeth, Zhou Cang pulled out the two or three iron arrows from his body and threw them to the ground.
The next moment, an extremely powerful aura emanated from Zhou Cang!
As this aura rose, its powerful force pressed down on the Wind Tiger Camp members, sending a chill down their spines.
