C193 The destruction of the Green Camp (2/2)

”Retreat!” Attack North... ”Don't stop even if you're too tired to vomit blood. Bring out the courage you all had during that bloodbath. We must rush to the Xiao family's residence before dawn …”

On a white snowy plain, two hundred soldiers spread out in a large, irregular fan shape, running against the cold wind until their heads started to smoke. At this time, one could see the excellent performance of Xiao Letian's individual equipment. The cloth uniform was also warm and light, if he changed it into the Green Camp cotton account, he would be able to break down in less than two miles.

There was also the high leather boots on his feet, which protected his feet in all directions. Soldiers could run without fear of the stones and sharp branches beneath their feet. Not to mention a thick leather belt that could hold all the equipment in place, it was the best support for a speedy march.

War was already a science in this era, it was impossible for one to win a battle just by relying on their courage. Xiao Letian's philosophy of war had always been higher than everyone else in this era, not to mention the Qing Dynasty who had already fallen behind in terms of age.

Right now, it was the darkest moment before dawn. Xiao Letian's mansion was the last eye of the storm, and at this time, Xiao Letian was about to choke to death.

The cotton on his face was wrapped in layers after layers, until it was as high as seven layers, but even so he could still smell the thick stench of burning sulphur. All of Xiao Letian's women and elderly, weak and wounded were gathered in the only three main rooms. All of the gaps between the doors and windows were sealed with wet cloth.

Xiao Letian brought Dragon Lord and the others, and stopped shooting. They formed a fire brigade and surrounded the three tiled houses to open up a isolation belt, it was impossible for there to be anything that could burn within three meters.

The hot waves came rolling in. The cotton cloth at his mouth and nose had just been splashed with water before it was burnt dry. Buckets of icy water were roasted into steam before they could even land on the flame.

The 700 over villagers and guards present formed three fireproof tape, afraid that even the slightest flame would reach the last three main houses.

The pond in front of the main house was almost at the bottom. A few large golden carp were flopping back and forth in the mud.

”Where are the reinforcements?” Didn't they say there were reinforcements? Why isn't he here yet … Wuu, I miss my wife. I want to go home and see my mother … Let me go! ”

Finally, someone broke down. The villagers had not been brave enough to begin with. If not for the fact that they were cheering each other on, they would not have been able to hold out until now.

There was a second one, followed by many villagers who had broken down in their emotions. They were crying as they wanted to go home, and there were even some who tried to rush into the fire, as if he was the world champion of sprint, and would be able to pass through the fire in an instant.

”Shoot up all these troublemakers and lock them up by the pond... F * ck, we've done all we can, so let's just leave it to fate! ”I'd like to see whether the heavens will take my wretched life or not …”

Just as Xiao Letian was cursing under the heavens, another house behind him was destroyed with a bang.

Right now, outside the fire field, Sun Sanhu could already hear the wails of despair from the crowd. He excitedly patted the horse on its neck and said, ”Alright, alright, alright, Xiao Letian is definitely dead. ”Hahaha, the sky will always be clear. If you dare to misunderstand me, even the heavens will not forgive you …”

”Milord, listen …” Just as Sun Sanhu was laughing maniacally, the riders beside him suddenly called out to him, and everyone looked towards the south in shock.

At this time, in the small forest to the south, countless torches were flickering, and the faint sounds of killing could be heard. There was even a strong killing pressure that came rolling down from the ground.

Sun Sanhu subconsciously shivered. ”Don't be afraid, it might be another of Xiao Letian's suspicious troops, maybe it's another ignorant commoner from that village …”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the dull thud of gunfire. The forest immediately turned bright with the unique gleam of guns and bullets.

”Damn, it's not a suspicious soldier, it's Xiao Letian's ghost soldier. This group of ghost soldiers are coming for us …”

That's right, at the moment when the situation was at its most critical, the blood flag that the Dragon Lord was holding appeared in front of Sun Sanhu.

”Kill Sun Sanhu! The entire army will kill Sun Sanhu... ”

Sun Sanhu, whose face was ashen, did not say anything further. He immediately began to gallop towards the east side. What child's play, the Red Sect's protector, it was as scared as if it had seen a Gun!

”How did you do it?” One thousand five hundred Green Battalion, even if they caught one thousand five hundred pigs, it would still take them an entire night to kill, right? How come he could come back to the rescue before dawn? Furthermore, from the looks of it, they are not splitting up, but rather, the entire army is coming back for reinforcements.

No matter how he thought about it, Sun Sanhu couldn't understand what was wrong. Even the army of the Westerners wouldn't have such a high combat strength. Why isn't he giving me even this little time difference?

Damn, Xiao Letian is really a monster!
