Chapter 3: Killing people, invulnerable
"Uncle Li, are you saying that the higher-ups plan to attack the enemy camp at night tonight, and that the personnel for the night attack should be summoned to the entire army?"
When Liu Ye heard the news from his family chief, he immediately became interested.
But one thing he found strange was that such a confidential matter as a night attack would recruit people with such a big fanfare. Are you really not afraid that the news will leak out?
After thinking for a long time, Liu Ye could only attribute it to the fact that his superiors were not worried about being overheard by the barbarians.
After all, they are two different races, so it is reasonable for them to have a language barrier.
"Yes, those who participate in the night attack will be rewarded with 100 yuan and military merits. What, you want to sign up?"
Uncle Li looked at Liu Ye with a smile, seemingly not surprised by this.
After all, 100 yuan is not a small amount. The monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is only yuan, not to mention points of military merit. This is enough for a big soldier to be promoted directly to the rank of corps commander.
"Well, I'm a little interested." Liu Ye nodded.
Money and military achievements were secondary. He mainly wanted to get some kills along with him so that he could achieve the achievement of [Hundred Killer] as soon as possible.
"Okay, it just so happens that the above requires at least one person to come out for every day, so go ahead and pay attention to safety." Uncle Li patted Liu Ye on the shoulder and did not dissuade him.
In fact, he was happy to see Liu Ye's initiative to ask for help. He was worried about how to complete the above targets, but now he felt relaxed.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Li. I'll treat you to a drink when you get back." Liu Ye conveniently planted a flag for himself.
Later, on Uncle Li's recommendation, Liu Ye successfully joined the night attack team and obtained specific information about the night attack.
The night attack time is set at Hai hour, which is 9 o'clock in the evening. The number of people in the night attack is a thousand people. The leader is a captain of a thousand, an eighth-level blood exchange realm warrior.
During this period, Liu Ye also gained a basic understanding of the situation in this world by sorting out the remaining memories in his mind.
First of all, martial arts do exist in this world, starting with the ninth-level body refining realm, then the eighth-level blood exchange realm, and the seventh-level Qi gathering realm.
As for what realm is beyond, Liu Ye is not sure, and he doesn’t know whether it’s due to memory loss or the original owner himself doesn’t understand.
However, this also made Liu Ye a little curious about the identity of the original owner. After all, ordinary people did not have access to this information.
For most people, practicing martial arts is something they dare not even think about.
On the one hand, there is a lack of training resources.
If you can't keep up with nutrition, practicing martial arts rashly will only make you die faster.
Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts is not just talk.
On the other hand, it is because most of those cultivation methods are controlled by aristocratic families, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with them.
Joining the army is a way to get in touch with martial arts. As long as you are promoted to the rank of village commander (50 people per village), you will be eligible to exchange martial arts skills with the court, but it will require a lot of military merit.
Liu Ye planned to see if there were any rewards such as exercises in the system. If not, he would have no choice but to redeem them for military merit.
Soon, the time came to Haishi, and the huge city gate was slowly opened, and a group of people filed out, taking advantage of the night to move towards the barbarian camp.
"What a rip-off, who can carry out night raids on foot? The huge border gate doesn't even have a thousand war horses?"
Liu Ye, who was at the back of the team, complained silently in his heart.
Although it is indeed easier to hide your tracks without riding a horse, it is also difficult to quickly escape from the battlefield after a sneak attack.
Once a team of a thousand people is surrounded by a large army, they are afraid that their entire army will be annihilated!
No wonder the reward for this night attack was so generous that one would risk one's life in exchange for it.
If he had known it was so dangerous, he would rather wait until tomorrow to complete the [Hundred-Man Killing] mission.
"Ah~"
While Liu Ye was sighing, the night attack team, after an hour of hurried march, had approached the destination of this mission, the barbarian general's Chinese army camp.
The camp is located in a closed mountain col, surrounded by mountains, with only a thirty-meter-wide canyon leading to the outside world.
This kind of terrain is simply a natural defensive fortress. It's no wonder that the barbarians set up their camps here.
Standing in front of the canyon, the leading captain suddenly raised his hand, causing everyone to stop.
"Listen, we will split up in groups of five later. Once we enter, we will set fire to the camp. When we hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside, we will retreat immediately. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded with a low voice, but they were secretly complaining in their hearts.
You give orders as soon as you give them, why are you shouting so loudly? Whose fault is it if the enemy is alerted?
"Okay, let's take action!"
The captain waved his hand and led everyone into the canyon.
Along the way, Liu Ye did not find any patrols. The only two barbarian soldiers standing guard in front of the camp still looked drowsy.
I don’t know if it’s because the barbarians don’t have the habit of keeping vigil at all, or because the skilled people are bold.
The camp's defenses were so lax that no one was left.
After easily getting rid of the two guards, everyone successfully entered the camp, and then dispersed in groups of five in all directions.
Liu Ye approached a tent, lit it with a fire, and immediately stepped out.
However, after clicking several tents in succession, Liu Ye suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong, nine out of ten is wrong!"
Looking around, hundreds of tents in the entire camp had been set alight, and the flames rising into the sky lit up almost half of the sky.
However, with such a big movement, no one came out to check the situation. This was obviously because they were prepared!
"Made, you've been fooled!"
Liu Ye screamed secretly and ignored the retreat signal. He threw away the torch in his hand, turned around and ran away.
Sure enough, it would be strange for such a hasty night attack to go undetected. The person who made the plan must have a brain.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the camp, and the sound of the collision of gold and iron spread in all directions, which was extremely harsh in the dark night. Liu Ye couldn't help but pause.
The next second, the cry of killing came, and a large wave of barbarian soldiers rushed out from the surroundings, blocking the gate of the camp in a blink of an eye.
Dang, Dang, Dang! !
At this moment, the rapid sound of gongs and drums sounded, which was a signal to retreat.
"Follow me to break out!"
Led by a centurion, the crowd began to charge towards the gate of the camp.
Puff puff! !
Arrows shot out of the air, and dozens of people died in just one encounter. The centurion who was headed was hit by dozens of arrows, piercing him like a hedgehog.
But even so, he did not fall down. With a touch of his left hand, the arrows fell one after another. It seemed that he only suffered superficial injuries.
"Hiss~ It's just the ninth level of body refining, is it already so terrifying?" Liu Ye was dumbfounded.
He originally thought that the so-called body refining realm was nothing more than being stronger and more durable than normal people, but what the hell is this direct invulnerability?
Or is it that this centurion is hiding his clumsiness and is not at the ninth level but at the eighth level?
But the eighth grade is enough to be a captain of thousands, and still stay in the position of a centurion?
Shaking his head, Liu Ye didn't think much more. It was still important to break out of the encirclement at this time.
With the help of Xiaocheng's sword skills and his physique far beyond ordinary people, Liu Ye still performed with ease even when he was surrounded.
Almost every sword strike can take away a barbarian soldier.
"Ding! You killed 100 enemies, achieved the elite achievement [Hundred Kills], and received the reward: Body Tempering Pill*10"
[Body Tempering Pill]: Temper the skin and flesh, polish the muscles and bones, which can greatly strengthen the physical body.
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Liu Ye felt happy, and the movements of his hands speeded up a bit unconsciously, and all the barbarians who approached were killed.
Perhaps because Liu Ye was acting too eye-catching, a particularly burly barbarian soldier rushed over.
Judging from his attire, he seems to be a barbarian centurion.
clang! !
The two knives intersected, and there was an explosion in the air. Liu Ye's expression changed slightly, and he took several steps back. His arms were numb from the shock.
"What a strength!"
After undergoing the process of cleansing and severing the marrow, he already has twice the strength of an ordinary person, but it is still not enough to face enemies in the ninth-level body refining realm.
"Roar!!"
Seeing that the sword failed to kill Liu Ye, the barbarian centurion seemed a little angry, let out a roar, and then rushed forward like a wild beast.
Liu Ye turned sideways to avoid the attack, raised his hand and slashed the opponent's neck with a knife.
Feeling the huge resistance from the blade, Liu Ye decisively drew the knife and retreated. In the end, he only cut a shallow gash in the opponent's neck.
This blow did little damage but was extremely insulting. The barbarian centurion waved his sword wildly, as if he wanted to chop Liu Ye into pieces.
In response, Liu Ye just dodged while looking for an opportunity to strike.
In a head-to-head encounter, he was indeed no match for this barbarian centurion. Both in terms of strength and defense, he was far behind.
But when it comes to skills, he can definitely beat the opponent by several blocks with his small skill in swordsmanship.
Even though this guy can dance with his machete, in Liu Ye's eyes, the opponent has almost every flaw.
If the long knife in his hand wasn't sharp enough, the cut on his neck would have ended the fight.
Ten minutes later, Liu Ye left dozens of knife marks on the body of the barbarian centurion, but unfortunately they were only superficial injuries.
"So fucking meaty."
Seeing that he couldn't kill the opponent in a short time, Liu Ye didn't intend to continue to entangle him.
With a swing of the long knife, he ran directly into the melee crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making the barbarian centurion scream in anger.
Without the pursuit of killing the enemy, Liu Ye's breakout speed significantly increased. In a blink of an eye, he passed through the heavy blockade of the barbarian army.
The improvement of swordsmanship in the Xiaocheng realm is not only about hand skills, but also about body skills.
This is what is said about taking a knife with you.
When Liu Ye arrived outside the camp, he found that his captain was fighting fiercely with a barbarian general.
Every time the two of them collide, smoke and dust fill the sky.
But overall, our own captain has the upper hand, and it won't take long to defeat the opponent.
Rumble!
The ground suddenly began to shake.
"what happened?"
Looking in the direction where the movement came from, Liu Ye's pupils suddenly shrank!
