Zhao Yu leaned tightly against the back of the vehicle and commanded, “Charge, storm in!”

As the soldiers rushed into the camp, the pressure on Zhao Yu eased immediately; no one was shooting at him anymore.

This allowed him to hide in somewhere safer. Instead of raising his head to observe the situation. He pulled out a mirror and used its reflection to catch a glimpse of the situation inside the camp.

Sparks flew everywhere, with people constantly falling; the scene was more chaotic than he had imagined.

“Fierce Tiger, take the machine gun from the vehicle and go in to support fire…”

Zhao Yu directly ordered four special forces soldiers “Fierce Tiger” to take the machine gun and suppressed the enemy fire.

Zhao Yu also started to doubt his command abilities.

Perhaps a professional would have done it more methodically?! Maybe in the night time?

Zhao Yu remembered he was just an ordinary person with no experience in warfare. With this experience, he hoped things would be better next time.

If there was a next time, he resolved to pave the way with firepower, arranging everything from mortars to rocket launchers, and definitely not taking personal risks at the front line.

“Crazy!”

“They are all madmen!”

Inside the camp, Li Da Zhuang hid behind a barricade, watching soldiers constantly storming the entrance.

He witnessed several soldiers get shot multiple times, seemingly unfazed by the pain and relentlessly returning fire.

What infuriated him even more was that his men, upon being shot, would lose their fighting capability and lie on the ground, wailing in pain.

But their opponents continued to attack relentlessly , even if they were injured.

In just a few dozen seconds, seventy to eighty of his men had fallen, while only about a dozen of the enemy lay completely still on the ground.

No matter how many bullets they took, they continued to resist stubbornly and every shot they fired was extremely accurate.

“Damn it, these people are abnormal, they must be on drugs!”

By now, Li Da Zhuang understood that the opposing soldiers were not ordinary; each of them fought fearlessly.

“Boss, we can’t hold on, let’s run…”

After observing the situation, the military advisor concluded that though they had more men, they were bound to lose in the end.

“Retreat!”

Li Da Zhuang hastily withdrew under the cover of his trusted aides.

With the boss retreating, others lost their will to resist. Many dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Zhao Yu immediately ordered, “Spare those who surrender!”

Zhao Yu understood the basic tactic: if you kill even those who surrender, wouldn’t you be forcing people into a desperate fight?

As expected, following this command, more and more people couldn’t hold on and immediately threw down their weapons to surrender.

The sound of gunfire inside the stronghold gradually ceased. Once he was certain his soldiers had control of the situation, Zhao Yu finally made an appearance.

The first sight that met his eyes were bodies lying haphazardly everywhere, more were the injured and lying on the ground.

In contrast, his soldiers were unscathed. Most had suffered injuries, but each one was still meticulously carrying out their duties.

Zhao Yu didn’t dare to venture too deep, fearing an ambush. He approached the No. 1 off-road vehicle and called over an uninjured person for questioning.

After some interrogation, Zhao Yu learned that there weren’t many real gunmen in the stronghold, only about a hundred and most of them had only been given guns that day. The actual combatants numbered only in the thirties.

Those who had received guns today usually worked as laborers in a mine near the stronghold.

‘There was a mine?’

‘Yes, an iron mine. We survive by trading ore with other forces for food…’

Zhao Yu realized then that the stronghold could sustain three to four hundred people because they had an iron mine to trade with others.

Zhao Yu learned that the boss of the stronghold had already fled. He thought for a moment and then ordered the captives to be tied up.

Next, he checked on the condition of his own soldiers.

He had brought 70 men on this campaign, 11 of whom were dead, and most of the rest were injured. The only few who were uninjured were the Cheetah Special Forces soldiers responsible for protecting him.

Zhao Yu immediately had people start bandaging wounds, taking care of his own men first and then the injured prisoners.

After all this, Zhao Yu led his men deeper into the stronghold.

It took some effort to finally get a clear picture of the situation in the stronghold.

The stronghold’s master, Li Da Zhuang had escaped with his confidants, about seven or eight people in total by using ropes to descend from the back of the stronghold.

The rest were either residents or slaves, all gathered by Zhao Yu near the large open space at the stronghold’s gate.

Standing before Zhao Yu were over three hundred people, all of them with gaunt faces and bony bodies, their eyes devoid of life.

It was evident that their daily life under Li Da Zhuang was harsh.

Besides these ragged people, there were also more than twenty clean and neat women, each graceful in their own way.

‘Commander, all these women were Li Da Zhuang’s…’

‘So many?’ The stronghold’s master knew how to live a good life for having more than twenty women.

‘Not just his, they all shared these women…’ The speaker was a rather smart young man named Hu Bo.

Seizing the opportunity, he not only surrendered first but also was the first to reveal the situation in the stronghold. He voluntarily led Zhao Yu’s men to round up the remaining people here for questioning..”
