The Empress's Gigolo Chapter 354 Destroying the Great Xia Barracks

The empress was deep in thought.
Ren Baqian silently praised himself for his resourcefulness.
Li Qianqiu looked at the huge explosion in the distance and suddenly remembered one thing. In a flash, he landed in the darkness, and his whole body was aroused by the blood essence. He woke the entire city with his loud voice and ordered, "Everyone, gather at the north gate."
After shouting at the top of his lungs, he pressed against the tent to prop himself up and then strolled outside as if nothing happened.
When Ren Baqian heard this, he recalled that the most important thing had not been completed. He got the guards to move the mortars and mortar shells over. This time around, they had to accomplish their mission.
Even though Li Qianqi was an expert at the Spirit Wheel level, he seldom fought against anyone. This was because the martial art he was practicing had an enormous flaw—whenever he exerted strength, he would experience hyperemia.
As a result, Li Qianqiu had a nickname in private, the Immortal Spear.
Although the weapon he used was a gigantic double-headed axe, his nickname was nevertheless Immortal Spear. From this, anyone could see that he was svelte. Among the five Protector Generals, he was unconditionally in a league of his own!
In less than five minutes, all of the winged cavalry warriors had rushed to the north gate. The previous explosion had already awakened everyone, and they thought that an accident had occurred. When they heard the shout, they immediately went to the north gate.
Li Qianqiu instructed the soldiers to open the city gate and said in a deep voice, "Great Xia's chief commander, Wu Shenghou, is dead, and their barracks is in chaos. Charge there now."
"Kill! We are not coming back if we don't emerge victorious!" the empress said faintly as she looked at the chaotic scene ahead.
1,100 winged cavalry warriors spread their feet and charged violently at the Great Xia barracks.
Five minutes later, another 3,000 soldiers from the Protectorate of the Center arrived. Li Qianqiu jumped down from the top of the wall and landed in front of everyone. He raised his voice and said, "Great Xia's chief commander, Wu Shenghou is dead. The winged cavalry have already set off. The commanders will lead all of you to assault the central barracks for one attack. Then, we will change direction and attack the Great Xia reinforcements in the other barracks. Last but not least, we will head north and spring a surprise attack."
Even though they had already wasted some time, the reaction of the two other Great Xia barracks was even slower.
The soldiers there hadn't even attained the Man Wheel level, so it would take more time for these reinforcements to reach the north barracks. Since they would take longer to arrive, this period of time would already be sufficient for these 3,000 aboriginal soldiers to launch an attack and return to fight the reinforcements afterward.
At present, the sky still wasn't bright, but there wasn't enough time for Great Xia to make any preparations to get into battle formation. If both parties ran into each other, the personal strength of the aboriginals could actually be fully displayed.
Furthermore, the sky was dark and with Dayao's reinforcements, the Great Xia archers could be considered useless.
Under such a situation, it wasn't difficult for the 3,000 aboriginal soldiers to defeat 20,000 to 30,000 Great Xia soldiers.
"Yes!" the commanders answered, bringing their 3,000 soldiers and dashing wildly out of the city.
A few of the bulky aboriginals, who were clad in leather armor, asked, "Sir, what do we do?"
These few individuals were the leaders of the militia, which had just been formed in Liao City. Among them, the most powerful person had only just attained the Earth Wheel level.
"Prepare to collect rations!" Ren Baqian responded.
Nowadays, there wasn't much food in the city, yet a supply of rations had just been delivered to the Great Xia forces. In a short while, after the Great Xia soldiers were defeated, the militia would then grab these rations.
As for defending the city, there wasn't any need to do so.
There were a total of 40,000 soldiers in the east and west barracks of Great Xia. They definitely relied mainly on the forces from the north barracks. It would be pretty good if they could retain 5,000 soldiers to defend their barracks, but they wouldn't have even the least bit of energy left to further attack Liao City.
Even if they didn't care about the life and death of the north barracks army and directly attacked the city, the aboriginal commoners in the city were enough to take them down. At that time, when the Great Xia soldiers returned to their barracks, they would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.
"Yes, Sir!" these few leaders of the militia immediately responded.
"We will leave the city too!" Ren Baqian called out to the bodyguards beside him. Everyone was riding on a fork-horned cow as they headed out of the city. Just after they got out of the city, a few people walked around with night vision devices and walkie-talkies to check out the locations of the other two barracks.
Then, Ren Baqian found a place to deploy the mortar.
In the distant Great Xia barracks, loud blood-curdling screeches and fighting noises could be heard. The previous explosion of the humanoid bomb was supposed to wipe out all the high ranking officers. In the end, only a few captains survived.
A captain was usually a main officer of the barracks and commanded 800 to 1,200 soldiers.
Regardless of whether it was their strength or prestige, the captains in the barracks were incapable of handling the chaotic situation in the barracks, let alone the fact that they were already out of their wits.
After that, 1,100 winged cavalry warriors that were at the Earth Wheel level charged in for the kill.
If a commoner fought against an Earth Wheel expert, the ending was imaginable. Even if defending the city was such an arduous tough, there wasn't much damage inflicted on the winged cavalry. From this point, one could see the difference in strength between the two parties. If there was a person who could lead the army, he would have been able to create some trouble, but at this time, the higher-ups had been wiped out and the winged cavalry sprang a surprise attack. Moaning and howling that sounded like ghosts could be heard from the barracks.
At this moment, another 3,000 aboriginal soldiers rushed in and attacked, causing the Great Xia barracks to be even more chaotic.
"Sir, the Great Xia soldiers from the east barracks have already departed. There are about 1,000 horsemen in the vanguard. As for the back, I can't really tell the number of people, but the barracks is already half empty."
After the soldiers of the east barracks moved out, the soldiers of the west barracks were also dispatched. However, the commander of the west barracks was even more decisive, deploying all of his forces and heading straight to the north barracks to assist.
"Prepare to welcome the enemy!" Li Qianqiu used the walkie-talkie to pass his order down.
After rushing into the barracks and fighting for a while, the 3,000 aboriginal soldiers immediately returned to the empty plains and assembled. Then, they began to head toward the direction of the east barracks with countless torches moving in that direction.
However, just as they moved out, they ran into 1,000 horsemen that had rushed over at great speed. Countless soldiers exchanged a few attacks with these horsemen, and one by one, the horsemen fell off their horses. After that, they were trampled into the mud by the horses behind them.
However, these horsemen managed to delay for some time. After the Great Xia soldiers behind them discovered that their vanguard had encountered an enemy, a portion of them had already formed a battle formation. Subsequently, the soldiers which arrived from behind joined and thickened the battle formation.
"Kill!" the aboriginal soldiers yelled, pouncing forward upon seeing the countless silhouettes ahead.
However, faster than them were the mortar shells. Six mortar shells landed directly on the front part of the Great Xia battle formation, and these soldiers suffered a crushing defeat. Their soldiers were also dealt a huge shock.
The aboriginals took this opportunity to rush in and set off a reign of terror.
There wasn't the slightest suspense when the 3,000 aboriginals soldiers fought against the 10,000 Great Xia elites. In two hours, the Great Xia army began to collapse.
"Stop chasing and killing. The the troops in the back will become the front. Head northwest now." After Li Qianqiu's command was conveyed, a long whistle was soon heard on the battlefield, gathering the soldiers who were chasing the enemy troops and marching directly toward the northwest.
The pressure was greatest when the vanguard of the troops engaged in battle. Thus, when they changed targets to face another group of enemies, the soldiers in the front were swapped with those at the rear.
Otherwise, even if it was a Man Wheel expert, it would be difficult for him to proceed into another round of fighting after going through a round of intense battle.
This time, their opponents were the 20,000 soldiers from the Great Xia west barracks. After both parties met, Ren Baqian fired ten rounds of mortar shells and created chaos within the Great Xia army. However, the Great Xia soldiers in the west barracks split into two portions. One portion ended up getting entangled with aboriginal soldiers, though it could be said that they were massacred.
The other portion was increasing their speed and heading toward the north barracks. They were attempting to rush inside before the aboriginal soldiers arrived.
Li Qianqiu evaluated and remarked, "Silly method."
"They have no other way." Ren Baqian was sitting on the ground.
20,000 Great Xia soldiers fighting against 3,000 aboriginal soldiers in the dark. The outcome was obvious.
The north barracks still had 70,000 soldiers and 30,000 laborers. If they were able to gather one portion of the injured soldiers, they would still be able to fight out one more battle.
If they didn't support the north barracks, Dayao would be able to destroy these 20,000 Great Xia soldiers.
Therefore, after knowing about the accident in the north barracks, the other Great Xia soldiers immediately came to lend a hand. However, upon discovering that they were obstructed, they gave up a portion of their soldiers.
Although they knew that the aboriginal soldiers would catch up soon, they still decided to give it a try. Due to the current situation, there weren't any better solutions.
"Should we kill the commanders first? It's easy to raise a army 1,000 strong, but difficult to find a good general. Following the deaths of so many Great Xia commanders, even if they wanted to reorganize their army, it wouldn't be something that could be done in a short span of time. If the commanders of the east and west barracks ran away, it would be possible for them to gather many soldiers in no time," Ren Baqian said.
"I will make a move first!" Li Qianqiu stroked his chin and entered the darkness without his weapons.
Not long after Li Qianqiu left, the winged cavalry warriors in front used a walkie talkie to transmit information that they had met an obstacle. The other party was a Spirit Wheel expert. Even though he was wounded, there were more than 30 winged cavalry that died by his hand.
The other party could be the legendary Lu Pinghai!
Since Ren Baqian heard this news, naturally, the empress also heard about it. From head to toe, she exuded an immense killing intent. In a flash, she returned to the city commander's residence. When she appeared outside again, there was a bow as well as a quiver of arrows in her hands.
"Lu Qi, I was exasperated over how to find you. Today, I'll send you down to hell!"
These words that were full of killing intent overpowered and suppressed the battle cries of the entire camp.
