My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 49: Sniper Team Covers the Rear

At the mountain pass, the wind howled and the clouds of war gathered. Mu Zheng led 200 men in a fierce battle, their eyes burning with the flames of unyielding determination. In the distance, the footsteps of officers and soldiers echoed like thunder, shaking the earth.

Mu Zheng gripped his longbow tightly, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's. He stood at the forefront of the rebel army, his posture as straight as a pine tree, radiating a fearless aura. As the soldiers gradually approached, the shouts of killing shook the earth.

The battle was about to break out, and officers and soldiers rushed in like a tide. At this moment, a sudden arrow shot out from the ranks, accurately hitting an insurgent soldier, who fell to the ground. Then, several more arrows flew, and the insurgents suffered casualties in an instant.

Mu Zheng's eyes flashed, he knew that there was an archery expert hiding in the crowd of the opposing team.

He quickly scanned the ranks of officers and soldiers, his eyes as sharp as a torch, not missing a single detail. Finally, he discovered a clue: in a corner of the ranks, a figure moved slightly, the bow and arrow in his hand flashing coldly in the sunlight.

Mu Zheng immediately locked onto his target. He adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, quickly calculated the distance between him and the opponent, the wind direction, and the enemy's movement trajectory, then slowly raised his longbow.

"Whoosh..."

Mu Zheng loosened his fingers slightly, and the sharp arrow shot out like lightning, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Before the master could react, he was hit in the throat by the arrow and fell to the ground with a thud.

With the danger over, the rebels' morale was boosted. They fought bravely, engaging in a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers. Meanwhile, Mu Zheng had the sniper team separate into their own camps, ready to shoot any enemy strongmen they spotted.

This was the sniper team's first mission, and everyone, including Lu Di, seemed extremely excited.

"Mouse, go to the right! Black Bull, go behind that rock, Rabbit, and guard the left side for me." Mu Zheng determined the best sniping location in a few seconds.

"Yes!" Lu Di quickly moved to another location with a longbow on his back. He was Tuotu.

At the same time, Mu Zheng kept pulling the bowstring, shooting arrows at the enemy accurately. He was like a cold-blooded sniper, and every shot could take a life.

The officers and soldiers were intimidated by Mu Zheng's archery skills, and their offensive pace slowed down slightly. However, they were outnumbered and soon reorganized their offensive.

Unfortunately, they encountered the rebel army that Mu Zheng had specially trained with modern thinking. They no longer fought alone, but cooperated in an orderly manner. On this already rugged and narrow mountain road, they blocked all the officers and soldiers outside the mountain pass.

Finally, a signal came from afar that the evacuees were safe. Mu Zheng showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Sniper team, provide cover, everyone retreat!" Mu Zheng shouted at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was stunned, then waved his hand, and all the rebels began to retreat in an orderly manner. Mu Zheng and his men, armed with bows and arrows, were ready to shoot any soldiers who showed up at the mountain pass.

"Let's go!" Mu Zheng saw Zhang Hao running towards him.

"Leave!" Zhang Hao glared at Mu Zheng fiercely. "How long can you five hold out? The brothers have already retreated. I'll bring ten people to support you."

Mu Zheng glanced at Zhang Hao, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes. Indeed, their sniper team focused on long-range attacks. If the soldiers got close, their bows and arrows would lose their deterrent power.

Sure enough, after a while, the group of officers and soldiers began to move forward tentatively. However, whenever they made the slightest movement, Mu Zheng and the sniper team's sharp arrows shot towards them like meteors.

But, there is a limit to the number of arrows.

Still, many people dodged the long-range attacks and rushed towards Lu Di and the others. Fortunately, Zhang Hao led ten people back, and they became the last guarantee for the snipers.

Gradually, the mountain pass became quiet again.

The officers and soldiers did not dare to move forward rashly. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and hesitation.

Seeing the soldiers frightened, Mu Zheng felt a sense of relief. He knew now was the perfect time for them to evacuate. So, he signaled to the sniper team, and they quietly retreated.

……

On the vast seashore, the waves constantly hit the rocks, making bursts of roaring sounds.

On the ship, everyone looked around anxiously, worry written all over their faces. Yunniang twisted the corners of her clothes tightly, her eyes filled with worry for Mu Zheng. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she prayed constantly for Mu Zheng's safe return.

Li Lian and Gong Wen were also nearby, their expressions solemn. They knew the danger Mu Zheng faced, but they also believed in his abilities. They comforted Yunniang from time to time, but they couldn't hide their own worries.

The sea breeze is blowing and the ship is swaying.

Group after group of people boarded the boat, but still no one came down from the mountain.

"No, I want to go up and take a look." Gong Wen really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't be impulsive!" Xie Junfei reached out to stop him.

"Let go!" Gong Wen's face turned pale. "Brother Mu is from Xiejiabao. How can you just sit here and wait?"

"This?" Xie Junfei was unhappy, but he still looked guilty: "It's all my fault. I hurt my foot."

Hearing this, Gong Wen was stunned and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just said something without thinking."

"It's okay, I'm just weak." Xie Junfei lowered his head, looking frustrated. Seeing this, Gong Wen immediately felt guilty, "Don't be like this, oh, my mouth, come here, I'll help you sit over there, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat."

"Sister-in-law!" Li Lian and Yunniang were not familiar with each other. Although Gong Wen had just introduced them, he could see that Gong Wen and Yunniang were not familiar with each other either.

"It's all my fault. I came too late." Li Lian felt upset.

"No, Master Lian, please don't say that. My husband will blame me if he hears." Yunniang was terrified and turned to look up the mountain. "Besides, my husband will definitely get down safely. I trust him."

"Yeah!" Li Lian nodded. He had received a reply from Han Zi some time ago, confirming that Mu Zheng had indeed saved him, and his respect for Mu Zheng was even greater.

Just as everyone continued to look forward to it, there was finally movement on the mountain.

Then, several figures were seen coming out of the woods.

"Here he comes! It's Deputy General Zhang!" someone said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Yunniang grabbed the side of the boat with her small hands and stared at the people on the river bank, looking for a familiar figure.

is it him?

The one running at the end.

It's him!

It's really him!

Yunniang finally released the tears she had been holding back all night.

In the distance, Mu Zheng and the members of the sniper team were rapidly approaching the ship. Their steps were firm, their eyes revealing fatigue yet the joy of victory. As Mu Zheng ran, he carefully observed his surroundings to ensure that no officers or soldiers were pursuing him.

As their figures got closer, the people on the ship gradually saw them clearly. Yunniang no longer cared about etiquette and waved her arms in Mu Zheng's direction impatiently.

Finally, Mu Zheng and the others successfully boarded the boat. A burst of cheers erupted on the boat, and everyone gathered around, expressing their joy and admiration for them. Yunniang threw herself into Mu Zheng's arms, tears streaming freely. Mu Zheng hugged his wife tightly, his heart filled with warmth and emotion.

"sail!"

With a long roar, Xie Nong sailed away towards the rising sun!
