Chapter 481 Since they are here, leave them a big gift
The night is as dark as ink and the cold wind is howling.
Gu Junze was dressed in black and had a stern look on his face.
Just as Gu Junze was about to give the order, a figure slowly walked out from the shadows outside the city wall.
"If you want to get the wolf cubs, how can you leave me out?" Duan Qingye's voice was particularly clear in the silent night.
Gu Junze frowned, and said in an unhappy tone: "This trip is dangerous."
Duan Qingye sneered, his sharp eyes flashing in the night.
"The shadow guard behind you was trained by me personally."
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze turned his head to look at Yingyi.
Ying Yi bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully, "General, what the Great General Wang said is true. The Great General Wang is not only a master of military tactics, but his own martial arts are also unfathomable. He has given guidance to my subordinates and others before."
Although this statement was a fact, it also indirectly acknowledged Duan Qingye's strength and their past connection.
Gu Junze was silent for a moment, and said no more, only uttered two words: "Follow."
Under the cover of night, the group sneaked towards the Northern Yan military camp like ghosts.
The defenses of the Northern Yan military camp were more lax than they had imagined.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming advantage of the ghost soldiers during the day that made them become arrogant.
Gu Junze and Duan Qingye looked at each other and saw the same judgment in each other's eyes.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, moved silently into the depths of the camp.
Based on daytime observations, the ghost soldiers seemed to be concentrated and guarded in a specific area of the camp.
Soon, they found a group of tents that were heavily guarded. The air was filled with a faint and strange smell of medicine.
"It's here." Gu Junze lowered his voice.
Several shadow guards quickly dealt with the scattered sentries on the periphery with clean and neat movements, without making any noise.
Gu Junze made a gesture, and the team members immediately dispersed and formed an encirclement.
He, Duan Qingye, and Ying Yi sneaked into one of the largest tents like a civet cat.
Inside the tent, dozens of ghost soldiers were lying in a mess.
They were not asleep, but just stood or sat quietly, with dull eyes, like soulless bodies.
"Do it!" Gu Junze shouted in a low voice.
Yingyi had already prepared special ropes and cloth bags.
However, just as they were about to trap a lone ghost soldier, the ghost soldier seemed to have sensed something and turned his head suddenly.
Those empty eyes actually emitted a strange red light in the darkness!
"roar!"
A low roar that did not sound like a human voice broke the dead silence in the tent.
The rest of the ghost soldiers were alarmed instantly, and they all stood up and rushed towards the three people!
"Quick battle, quick decision!" Duan Qingye did not retreat but advanced, with a short sword in his hand, and he directly faced a ghost soldier.
The dagger collided with the ghost soldier's hard skin, making a sound of metal clashing!
Gu Junze also fought with a ghost soldier. He found that these ghost soldiers were extremely powerful and felt no pain. Ordinary attacks had no effect on them.
"Attack his lower body! The joints!" Gu Junze reminded urgently.
Yingyi is agile and specifically looks for opportunities to try to trap a ghost soldier with a rope.
A ghost soldier opened his sharp claws and went straight for Gu Junze's face.
Gu Junze dodged sideways and stabbed at his knee with his backhanded sword.
The ghost soldier froze.
“Now!”
Duan Qingye seized the opportunity, took a big step forward, and hit another ghost soldier hard on the back of the head!
The ghost soldier groaned and fell straight down, but his body was still twitching slightly.
Yingyi took the opportunity to put a special cloth bag over the ghost soldier's head, and tied it tightly with a rope soaked in medicine.
"It's done!"
"The people outside can't hold on any longer!" An elite soldier on guard reported in a low voice.
The sound of fighting could be heard outside the tent, and it was obvious that their whereabouts had been exposed.
"Burn it!" A fierce look flashed in Gu Junze's eyes. "Since they're here, leave them a big gift!"
Several elite soldiers quickly took out the kerosene and fire starters that had been prepared long ago.
"withdraw!"
Gu Junze stayed behind, Duan Qingye carried the tied up ghost soldiers, and the group quickly broke out.
The raging flames quickly spread throughout the Northern Yan military camp, accompanied by shouts of terror and chaotic footsteps.
"The fire is breaking out! Put it out!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Northern Yan military camp instantly fell into chaos.
Gu Junze and others took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement, with flames rising into the sky and the roars of Beiyan soldiers behind them.
Not only did they successfully capture a living ghost soldier, they also set fire to the enemy's camp, which was enough to deal a heavy blow to the Northern Yan army.
Behind him were the shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves, chasing closely.
"They are catching up!" An elite soldier looked back with a serious expression.
In the light of the fire, one could vaguely see a team approaching at an astonishing speed, led by the Princess of Beiyan wearing a golden mask.
Dozens of green-faced and fang-toothed ghost soldiers surrounded her.
Duan Qingye snorted coldly, "The ghost is still there!"
Gu Junze's eyes were calm, and he was not panicked: "No need to fight, retreat according to the original plan and get rid of them."
However, the Princess of Beiyan obviously did not intend to let them go easily.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky, and the pursuing ghost soldiers suddenly increased their speed, and seemed to be closing in.
"General, they want to encircle us!" Ying Yi said in a deep voice.
There is a dense forest not far ahead. As long as we can enter the forest, we can use the complex terrain to escape the pursuers.
Just as they were about to rush into the dense forest, a figure appeared silently in the middle of the path at the edge of the forest like a ghost.
The golden mask flickered eerily in the flickering firelight. It was the Princess of Beiyan.
She was alone, blocking the way.
Gu Junze and others pulled the reins of their horses, and the team stopped suddenly.
Behind Princess Beiyan, dozens of ghost soldiers quickly gathered together and surrounded them.
"You run pretty fast." Princess Beiyan spoke in a cold voice, with no emotion in it. It had a strange charm that formed a sharp contrast with her strange mask.
Her gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the bound ghost soldier.
"Give me back my people."
Duan Qingye pointed the dagger in his hand at the Princess of Beiyan and grinned, "Your people? Now they are my spoils of war! Want them? Come and get them yourself!"
Princess Beiyan did not seem to be angry at Duan Qingye's provocation. Instead, her eyes revealed through the mask turned to Gu Junze.
"Are you Gu Junze?" she asked, with a hint of inquiry in her tone.
Gu Junze met her gaze, his expression calm: "It's me."
"You are very interesting." Princess Beiyan nodded slightly, as if she was evaluating an interesting object.
"You dare to break into my camp, burn my tents, and rob my men. Are all the generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as courageous as you?"
Gu Junze did not reply. Instead, Duan Qingye looked at her with interest. "You are the second female general I have ever met. We are both princesses."
Gu Junze's gaze fell coldly on him...
