From the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to Hunting Sins and Becoming Saints

Chapter 80 Take Action!

That afternoon.

The bugle sounded mournfully, and heavy footsteps, shouts, and the clanging of armor plates mingled together, creating a flurry of activity in the camp.

"Lord Song, Lord Song."

Seeing that no one was around, Sun Hui lifted his sleeves and hurriedly ran to Chen Ming's side.

Song happy and his group were changing into their armor and preparing to depart when they saw him arrive, and couldn't help but smile.

"Isn't this Pharmacist Sun? What are you doing here instead of in the logistics tent? Hey, Lao Liu, did you see my breastplate?"

"Listen to me."

Sun Hui grabbed the teapot and took a big gulp, then followed closely behind Song happy, who was searching for the breastplate in the tent, and said.

"Tonight, the army will attack Tiger's Mouth Gorge. Before dusk, Lord Chenming will give you a chance to redeem yourself before the three armies. You will be asked to choose a unit to follow you. Remember, one is three hundred scouts from Battalion A, and the other is one hundred vanguard soldiers under the command of the sergeant major from Battalion B. Choose one of these two units to redeem yourself; it will surely have a miraculous effect!"

Song Xi paused, her eyes flashing coldly: "How did you know?"

"This morning, your Heavenly Official and Lord Chenming discussed how to quell the demonic calamity in the mountains of Gaoyang County, and I was among them."

"Oh!"

Song happy sat down on the ground: "Then why did you tell me this? I am now a criminal prisoner, and it is already an extraordinary mercy from the heavens that I am not dead."

"I'm risking my life to tell you this."

Sun Hui said somewhat angrily.

"So, what do you want?"

Song happy also frowned:

"Although your Sun family has lost most of its wealth, it has also escaped the vortex of being strangled. Why bother with us criminals?"

With a major battle imminent, whether I can redeem myself and protect my family depends on this encirclement and suppression. I have no time for playing games with you. You're telling me all this; what are you trying to do? Just tell me directly.

"You! You!"

Sun Hui was furious, his tone laced with resentment: "I was willing to risk telling you this because our two families are both in dire straits, hoping we could support and help each other in the future. Fine, even if I was just being presumptuous and came all this way for nothing."

As he spoke, he threw down the teapot and made a move to leave.

Song happy's eyes flickered for a moment, but she still pulled him back, smiling and cupping her hands in a gesture of respect: "I am a crude and uncouth warrior, and now I am a criminal. It is still unknown whether my family will be safe."

I was caught up in the moment and didn't know what to say, Brother Sun, please don't take offense. I am deeply grateful for your guidance today. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Sun Hui flicked his sleeves, and his expression softened a bit. Song happy dismissed him with a few words, and then he began to ponder.

"Tonight's attack on the mountain? Jumpers? Commandos?"

......

That night.

Two torches, stuck in the cracks of the vine wall, were lit, their flames faintly glowing. A large black flag, depicting a lifelike black tiger, was raised on the mountainside, waving in the wind.

Under the thick, inky darkness, a burly man nearly three meters tall, with a wolf's head and a human body, bared his fangs.

Behind him were nearly two hundred demons and their followers, armed with swords and spears and clad in armor. They lay low, crouching behind the bushes, their dense branches forming a silent mass of black dots.

The sound of leaves rustling as the revenge army assembled by the middle-aged scholar, like a dark shadow spreading rapidly after sunset, rushed towards the Tiger Cavalry's supply camp at Tuntian River in the mountains.

The wolf-headed giant took the longbow handed to him by his subordinate, took out three arrows from his bag, aimed at the watchtower, tightened his thumb on the bowstring, and his eyes gleamed with a chilling green light.

"jump!"

Three arrows flew from the bowstring. The first arrow knocked over the torch, sending sparks flying. The second arrow pierced the throat of the watchtower guard. The arrowhead of the third arrow embedded itself in a crevice in the vine wall, and the flames were extinguished by the gust of wind it generated.

In the dim light, two hundred mixed troops charged toward the silent Tiger Cavalry camp in the darkness.

Without encountering any strong resistance, the unsuspecting patrolmen were all wiped out, and more than two hundred mixed troops rushed into the mountain stronghold.

"wrong!"

In the pitch-black darkness, the wolf-headed giant wielding a five-ringed broadsword had eyes as sharp as blades. He tore off the corpse of a dead patrolman, biting down on it. It tasted fishy and astringent, but there was no familiar flavor in it.

call!call!call!

Suddenly, the mountain stronghold was illuminated by a burst of firelight. Sometime later, the towering trees guarding the stronghold had been hollowed out, revealing armored soldiers with fierce expressions, each wielding a bow and crossbow.

In the night, illuminated almost by firelight, Sun Shun, carrying a bright red banner on his shoulder, had eyes like a hawk. He raised his right hand and gave a chilling smile to the wolf-headed giant who entered the mountain stronghold.

"Oh no!"

The wolf-headed giant's face twisted in pain.

The armored soldiers, like a surging tide, aimed downwards, and Sun Shun let out a tiger's roar that echoed through the night sky.

"Destroy!"

Black arrows shot out in rapid succession towards the attacking demon forces, accompanied by specks of red light, as a torrential downpour of arrows burst through the branches and leaves.

A large number of demon raiding troops collapsed, clutching their bleeding wounds. They were suddenly attacked, but the raiding force led by the wolf-headed giant did not panic. Instead, their fierce nature was aroused, and they braved the dense rain of arrows from the armored soldiers and went against the current to their deaths.

Sun Shun, who is usually hot-tempered, showed a very calm fighting style this time. He directed the archers to pull up and make room, while the heavily armored soldiers with swords and shields held off the demon raiding force.

The wolf-headed giant wielded a five-ringed broadsword, and the leather armor covering his bulging muscles was mostly burned away by the red light.

Seeing that the enemy was well-prepared and had formed a defensive formation to resist the attack, while his own men were being killed by wave after wave of arrows, the red light of the arrows cutting down wheat, he knew that the situation was hopeless.

Only a very limited number of people knew about our surprise attack, but now the other side knows the location and time so clearly. There must be a traitor among them, and a traitor among the core members at that.

We must bring this message back; otherwise, if our base is caught completely off guard and faces an encirclement, we will truly have no chance of survival.

He had just tried to send a message using the Sudu bird, but as soon as the Sudu bird took flight, it was burned to ashes by a red light that seemed to come from nowhere.

But it doesn't matter. As long as we break through this encirclement, our men will have a chance to survive thanks to the terrain. I can also break through smoothly by relying on my speed. As for the humans who followed us in the attack, well, let them have good luck!

With this thought in mind, the wolf-headed giant no longer hesitated, let out a mournful wolf howl, and prepared to retreat.

"Sir, they're trying to escape!"

A sharp-eyed county soldier shouted.

Sun Shun didn't care at all: "That's none of our business."

A clanging sound of armor clashing rang out from in front of the demon raiding force. Fu Que, clad in chainmail, held his embroidered spring knife without drawing it, while nearly a hundred armored soldiers with courier talismans on their feet blocked the wolf-headed giant and his men.

Mo Dao, a group of tattooed men dressed in standard armor, stretched out their ranks like a chain, blocking the path of the demons.
