Chapter 68 Surprise Attack
This requires this elite force to possess a top-tier war god as well as formidable combat power and willpower.
Ensure this elite force does not collapse midway.
And now, a war god who perfectly meets these conditions is volunteering.
Qin Qiong had a subtle smile on his face.
"Hehe, right!"
"That's what Uncle Bao thinks too."
The intelligent stone monkey is capable of transformation, understands the seasons, knows the advantages of the land, and can move stars and change constellations.
Although Sun Wukong's amazing intuition vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
However, Qin Qiong did not harbor any ill will towards Sun Wukong.
Therefore, Sun Wukong did not feel anything was wrong. Instead, he scratched his head and grinned foolishly at Qin Qiong.
"However, I can let you take an elite force there, Wukong, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
Seeing Sun Wukong happily scratching his ears and cheeks on his mount, Qin Qiong's face darkened, and he took the opportunity to say something to Sun Wukong.
"Hehe, go ahead, go ahead."
"As long as I, Old Sun, lead the team, I'll agree to anything you say!"
"Don't even mention a few conditions, I, Old Sun, would agree to dozens."
Sun Wukong was overjoyed when Qin Qiong agreed to let him lead an army to conquer cities and territories on his own.
"Firstly, this raid on Qingshan County is a secret march, requiring disguise. Therefore, Wukong, you cannot bring your golden armor and Ruyi Jingu Bang with you."
Looking at Sun Wukong, who was wearing golden chainmail, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and carrying a magnificent Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder.
Qin Qiong's lips twitched. Even a fool could see something was wrong with Sun Wukong going on a surprise attack dressed in such luxurious gear.
"Hehe, no problem, no problem, I, Old Sun, won't wear this gear."
Looking at his outfit, Sun Wukong didn't care. He wore it simply to satisfy his flamboyant personality, and it didn't have much impact on the battle.
"Secondly, you cannot lead the army in this surprise attack on Wukong. Not only can you not lead the troops, but you must also obey the orders of the leader in charge of this operation."
Considering Sun Wukong's unruly nature, he would probably be shouting for everyone to join the fray before his raiding force even got close to Qingshan County.
Just thinking about that scene gives Qin Qiong a headache.
"Uh...that works too, that works too, I'll do whatever you say."
Hearing that he couldn't lead the army in this surprise attack, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care too much.
His primary concern was to achieve a devastating victory in this surprise attack; he was unwilling to be distracted by managing the army.
Although there was now someone else in charge, it was nothing compared to the importance of this surprise attack.
"The third point, and the last point!"
Speaking of the third point, seeing the growing impatience on Sun Wukong's face, Qin Qiong quickly spoke up.
"Finally, after the successful raid on Qingshan County, Wukong, you must not underestimate the enemy or act rashly."
"Remember to hold the city gates and wait for Shubao's army to arrive."
To be honest, Qin Qiong was surprised that Sun Wukong, with his monkey-like temperament, had been able to endure this long enough.
So Qin Qiong quickly finished speaking his last point and only let Sun Wukong leave after seeing him nod, in preparation for the surprise attack.
...
In the dim light before dawn, a group of elite soldiers in armor, led by a captain, quietly approached the city gate of Qingshan County.
Their steps were firm and powerful, as if each step was measuring the distance to victory.
Among them was a soldier wielding a dark iron rod. The rod gleamed with a metallic sheen in the pale morning light, like a leaping flame, ready to ignite the flames of war at any moment.
"General Sun, General Qin has instructed you to follow my orders."
Looking at Sun Wukong beside me, who was like a hyperactive person, never still and full of excitement.
The captain leading the group beside him gave him some words of advice, still concerned.
After marching together for so long, the entire vanguard army of 10,000 now knows what kind of personality this top war god has.
Now that strict control is definitely not an option, the captain can only hope that this guy will remember his mission after he's had his fill of killing.
"I understand, I understand, I, Old Sun, understand."
"So annoying!"
Sun Wukong, his face beaming with excitement, impatiently dealt with the captain's instructions, his eyes fixed on the distant Qingshan County.
At this time, the city gates of Qingshan County were tightly closed, and the towering city walls were faintly visible in the dawn, like a sleeping giant beast, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
A somber atmosphere permeated the air, making the originally quiet county town tense and heavy.
Suddenly, a sharp horn pierced the tranquility of dawn; it was the signal to attack, and also a death knell.
The vanguard army, hastily assembled into a surprise attack force, surged forward like a torrent. In an instant, the sounds of war drums and clashing armor resounded through the sky.
"hey-hey!"
"Here comes Old Sun!"
Holding an iron rod, Sun Wukong roared to the sky, his entire being like a sharp sword, leading his elite troops straight towards the city gate.
His eyes gleamed with determination, showing no fear in the face of the impending battle.
The long staff flew freely in his hands, sometimes as swift as a storm, sometimes as continuous as a flowing stream.
Each swing carries the force of thunder, as if it can tear the air apart, inspiring awe in all who behold it.
At this moment, the Qizhou garrison in front of Qingshan City was caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Armed with weapons, they struggled to resist the onslaught.
However, their resistance seemed so insignificant in the face of the surging enemy army and the incomparably mighty war god wielding a staff.
The battle entered a heated phase right from the start.
The defenders on the city wall began to react, and arrows rained down from the wall, landing among the charging troops, accompanied by the soldiers' painful groans and cries.
At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was at the forefront, had an increasingly cold look in his eyes. He swung his long staff faster and faster, and each swing was accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
His figure moved freely across the battlefield, like a nimble cheetah galloping across the grassland.
The defenders on the city wall began to waver, overwhelmed by the fierce offensive.
Watching Sun Wukong display his might below the city wall, he was intimately touched by the iron rod and sent to guard the Qizhou army.
That really means you'll get hurt if you just graz it, and die if you touch it.
On the battlefield, a general wielding clubs and hammers is invincible.
Especially in the hands of a war god like Sun Wukong, who possesses innate divine strength.
With a casual strike, the Qingshan County garrison on the opposite side either suffered caved-in chests or blown-out heads.
Some soldiers with wavering resolve began to quietly slip away, fleeing this battlefield filled with death and bloodshed.
However, many more soldiers chose to hold their ground, gritting their teeth and desperately resisting the enemy's attack with their weapons.
"ha!"
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
Suddenly, Sun Wukong, who was rampaging under the city wall with an iron rod in his hand, let out a deafening roar. His figure accelerated instantly, pushing aside the guards blocking his way, and rushed straight towards the city gate.
