The female prisoner was fierce

First, Defang's five guerrilla squads, about fifty men in total, took advantage of the blizzard to slowly make their way towards Table Mountain, where Black Cloud Village was located, along a narrow path less than 5 meters wide.

Li Tiezhu's archers were mixed in, but they were in a rear guard position, mainly providing cover.

Lin Qingxue's personal guards number only 10, but each one is a carefully selected expert.

Moreover, Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, two formidable warriors, were also incorporated into the unit after completing their crucial intelligence-transfer mission.

Xiao Jianyang was initially reluctant, as losing even one of them would be a huge heartache.

But there's no other way; we've already burned our bridges.

Then there's a spare, which we'll fill in if anything happens later.

As for himself, he naturally brought his personal guard with him.

Hoo hoo hoo~~

The blizzard was still raging, with visibility reduced to just over 130 meters.

On Table Mountain, a total of 30 defeated soldiers were patrolling.

Because there is another path to the north, but it is more treacherous, the main force is concentrated in the south.

Due to poor visibility, they didn't initially notice the impending crisis.

Once we reached the visibility range, the distance was only a little over a hundred meters.

"Who?"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Snap snap snap snap~~~

More than seventy meters up there, roars rose and fell, mixed with the crackling sound of metal objects being struck.

Hearing the commotion, 30 defeated soldiers guarding the southern entrance gate came over to investigate.

Then, he happened to meet the eyes of dozens of female soldiers holding machetes and exuding a murderous aura below the cliff.

Before she could even take a breath, she also started screaming at the top of her lungs:

"Enemy attack!!"

"Quickly, everyone onto the stockade wall! Archers, get ready!!"

"Quickly, prepare the rolling logs!!"

Although the number of people was small, the terrain advantage was too great.

Moreover, the narrow path, which is only a meter wide, is flanked by cliffs hundreds of meters high, and is more than 300 meters long. The gate at the entrance to the mountain is right there, like a formidable pass.

If we fight head-on, we have absolutely no chance of winning.

However, at this very moment.

Defang led the guerrillas on this side:

"Sisters, kill!!!"

With a loud shout, he led the charge.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Fifty female guerrilla soldiers roared in unison and charged fiercely!

Li Tiezhu, who was bringing up the rear, shouted at the same time:

"Keep up! Within eighty paces, counterattack immediately!"

"Repeat, it must be at a range of eighty paces!!"

The female soldiers of the crossbowmen strictly adhered to the rules, although a few of them were recruited from the underground prison of Qinglong Village.

Therefore, at this moment, the hands holding the crossbow were trembling.

But the steps were still moving forward!

Upon seeing this, the 30 routed soldiers guarding the stockade wall and the adjacent cliff roared in equal force:

"Quick! Hold them off! Archers, fire!!"

"Get the rolling logs ready, fire them!!"

A barrage of logs and arrows rained down.

Although we were prepared in advance and even managed to find some wooden planks to use as shields, the effect was really not good.

In the first round of contact alone, no fewer than ten people were killed or injured.

Xiao Jianyang's heart bled as he watched this scene unfold!

"Ready? Charge!!"

They decisively pressed the person down.

"yes!!"

The only reserve team nearby immediately sprang into action.

"Follow me!"

With the attention of the main battlefield drawn away, Xiao Jianyang decisively gave the order to lead Lin Qingxue and his personal guards to rush towards the flank of the enemy's battlefield.

"yes!"

"yes!"

Lin Qingxue and her guards immediately followed.

They moved incredibly fast and soon arrived at the side.

On the south side of Table Mountain, where Black Cloud Village is located, on the other side of the main battlefield, is a long cliff about 200 meters long with a drop of 6 meters, the drop gradually increasing from east to west.

The largest part is over 200 meters high.

This is also the average cliff drop of the entire Table Mountain.

However, the side of the battlefield that Xiao Jianyang chose had a drop of less than 12 meters.

Even in the cold winter, this distance is manageable with the stone grappling hooks.

The key point is that there are trees above this location!

This tactic is especially suitable for this!

Moreover, the enemy's attention is diverted on the main battlefield, so they don't notice this place at all.

Take out the prepared stone grappling hook, throw it hard to secure it, and then pull it hard with your hand to make sure there are no problems.

"superior!!"

At Xiao Jianyang's command, he grabbed the rope with both hands and used the climbing techniques used by special forces to quickly climb up the cliff.

Lin Qingxue followed closely behind with her personal guards.

Because she, Xiaoxing, and Xiaotao all possessed martial arts skills, they had been learning very quickly these past few days, and they were also quite fast at climbing up now.

The other seven female soldiers were a little behind, but they were still slowly climbing up.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, losses were escalating.

According to the plan, once you've rushed about halfway, just enough to attract the other party's full attention, you should stay put.

Then Li Tiezhu's crossbowmen stepped forward and exchanged fire with them.

shhhhh~~~

The four closest fleeing soldiers were caught off guard and were hit directly, dying on the spot.

Upon seeing this, the remaining defeated soldiers in the defense gasped in shock.

"Wow~~ What a powerful weapon! Retreat! Load the bows and arrows! Thunderstone Rolling Log!!"

Instead of engaging in direct firefights, they compensated for the difference in range by using rolling logs and thunderstones.

The rate of loss of the women's army increased dramatically.

The number of casualties quickly rose to more than twenty and was still accumulating at an extremely rapid pace.

however.

Just now.

Right now.

Xiao Jianyang, along with Lin Qingxue and his personal guards, all climbed up!

Clang!

He drew his official sword from his waist and roared:

"Guards, kill!!!"

As the battle cries subsided, the female soldiers behind him, their eyes bloodshot, roared in response:

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Especially Lin Qingxue.

She had just witnessed the tragic state of her sisters on the front lines several times, and it pained her deeply; she had been holding back her anger for a long time.

The killing intent emanating from him was almost tangible!

Xiao Jianyang was the same.

In close combat, all sorts of ruthless tactics used during their special forces training were employed.

Kick the groin, lock the throat, slash the upper body, stab the lower body—the more ruthless the better.

The battlefield situation changed drastically in an instant!

The Black Cloud Stronghold garrison originally numbered only 30 men. They lost five or six men on the front lines just now, and now they have lost another seven or eight men, leaving them with only a dozen or so.

The infantry captain in charge of the defense, upon hearing this, felt his mind go blank, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world:

"You dare to lie about military intelligence! You're asking for death!!"

"On the southwest side of the battlefield, there's a cliff more than ten meters high. The rocks are frozen smoother than if they'd been doused with oil. How could anyone have climbed up from there!"

"Could it be that these rioters can fly?!"

The sergeant who came to report the situation cried, and said in a tearful voice:

"Sir, that's indeed the case. Those soldiers dressed in military uniforms came from there."

"I don't know what happened either!"

During the exchange, Xiao Jianyang and his men had already quickly arrived.

Encouraged by this, the remaining twenty-odd female soldiers and ten female archers on the main battlefield pressed forward.

Despite being on a cliff more than 6 meters high, they actually managed to coordinate their operations.

Unfortunately, the training time was still too short, and the skills were not yet fully developed.

Upon seeing this, the infantry captain in charge of the defense felt a buzzing in his head, as if struck by lightning.

"Damn it, our Black Cloud Stronghold is finished!!"

"Retreat! Retreat now!!"

"Retreat to Yanbei City!!"

Beside him, a trusted aide spoke up instinctively:

"My lord, we're not finished yet! The commander still has three hundred elite soldiers. We still have a chance!!"

Snapped! !

The former raised his large, fan-like right hand and slapped him hard across the face, saying viciously:

"Are you a pig-headed brat?"

"We managed to lose such a good place as Black Cloud Stronghold. Do you think the Commander will let us off easily?"

"I don't want to die!"

"Quickly, retreat!!"

Upon hearing this, his confidant and the fleeing soldiers around him, though unwilling, could only grit their teeth and hastily retreat.

They ran back, not even having time to pack their provisions or valuables. Reaching the north gate, they led 20 routed soldiers and, along with about thirty others, frantically fled north.
