Evernight Town, Lord's Mansion.
While Ouyang Shuo was busy with the Solitary Peak Herb Garden, Army Kill Ripper and the black-cloaked man finally came together with Di Chen. They started to collude with each other and formed a temporary alliance.
"How many troops did Shanhai County deploy to the west?" Military Kill Ripper asked. In order to take revenge on Ouyang Shuo, Military Kill Ripper spent 2,000 gold coins to teleport over 2,000 elite troops.
The black-cloaked man was not idle either. He said, "I have already investigated. There is only one garrison on the west side of Shanhai County. It is a full brigade with 2,500 soldiers."
Military Kill Ripper frowned. "If that is the case, just the two of us are not enough to get rid of this brigade, right?" Although Military Kill Ripper hated Ouyang Shuo, he did not lose his rationality.
"Don't worry, Brother Kill. I have already contacted Dawn Wind Waning Moon and Ride the Waves. They will be here soon," the black-cloaked man said confidently.
"Good!" Military Kill Ripper was overjoyed.
Dawn Wind Waning Moon was the one who advocated for external help. Ride the Waves was like Evernight Town. They were directly threatened by Shanhai County. The black-cloaked man announced in the alliance channel that he had invited Military Kill Ripper and that he had brought 2,000 soldiers. The three of them hit it off immediately.
Elder Dawn Wind Waning Moon was an ambitious person, and he knew that he couldn't hesitate at a time like this. He brought all of the 1,000 Elites from his territory, and Braving the Wind and Waves had cut off all means of retreat and brought 500 Elites.
Although Blade Overlord and the others did not come, they promised to cooperate with this operation. They would attack from the east and restrain the troops of Shanhai County.
Everyone knew that if they did not succeed, they would die. If they failed, they would face the crazy revenge of Shanhai County. There was no room for compromise.
Even Military Kill Ripper could not organize a second reinforcement in a short period of time. The transportation cost of 2,000 soldiers was 4,000 gold coins. It was not a small amount for Shura County.
The black-cloaked man was also a ruthless man. In order to protect his territory, he did not hesitate to drag his allies down.
On the afternoon of September 2nd, the 4,000 soldiers secretly gathered in Evernight Town.
The 4,000 soldiers were mainly saber and shield soldiers and archers. There were less than 1,000 light cavalry soldiers.
At 1 am, the army quietly set out from Evernight Town. Their target was the Shanhai County's West Barracks. The distance between the Evernight Town and the Western Barracks was less than twenty kilometers.
The night was as dark as ink, and the soldiers had to light torches in order to see the road clearly. The sparks formed a wriggling fire dragon in the wilderness. The jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards that came out to hunt at night in the wilderness had no choice but to retreat when they saw such a large army.
At three in the morning, the army arrived at the border of Shanhai County. In order to avoid being discovered by the sentries, the army had no choice but to extinguish the torches in their hands and continue to advance under the cover of the gradually brightening night.
Shanhai County had not had the time to set up a settlement at the border because it was a newly added territory. Along the way, they occasionally came across empty villages or towns. These were the territories of players that had yet to settle down after Shanhai County occupied them.
Seeing these conquered territories, Black Cloak and the others felt even more distressed. If they didn't unite and resist together, this would be the future they could foresee.
Because they had just won a battle, Shi Wansui, the commander of the Western Barracks, was careless and did not arrange for night patrols. In Shi Wansui's opinion, it was good enough that he did not bully others. Who would dare to enter his territory and provoke Shanhai County?
At 5: 30 in the morning, the four thousand soldiers suddenly appeared outside the Western Barracks like a group of ghosts. At this time, the sky was already bright. The moon was setting in the west, and the red sun was trying to jump out of the horizon.
As a high-level military camp, the Western Barracks was very well-equipped, with thick wooden walls and arrow towers. There were sentries arranged on the arrow towers. Because of sleepiness, the sentries were not focused. When the army appeared in front of the barracks, they were shot dead before they had time to sound the alarm. The last sentries was lucky enough to be shot in the abdomen by an arrow, and let out a scream before he died.
"Ah ~ ~ ~" The shrill scream cut through the silent wilderness, sounding the horn of death.
There was a commotion in the barracks, and the patrol team in charge of night patrols was the first to react. They immediately rushed to the barracks gate, and at the same time, a small team was sent to wake up the soldiers of the other barracks.
As the commander-in-chief of this operation, seeing that the enemy had been alerted, Military Kill Ripper completely gave up on the idea of sneaking into the barracks and shouted, "Kill!"
More than two thousand sword and shield soldiers immediately rushed towards the barracks gate like a pack of hungry wolves. The soldiers carried huge logs and crashed towards the gate. Because there was no one guarding the gate, it looked like it was about to be broken.
Fortunately, at this time, the patrol team rushed over in time. The soldiers used their bodies to block the gate, and at the same time, found logs to prop up the gate, trying to buy time for their comrades.
However, the patrol team of less than ten people was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the two thousand soldiers. In less than a few minutes, the gate was broken, and the patrol team behind the gate was knocked to the ground.
The leader of the patrol team, a rank eight elite soldier, had a solemn expression. He held the long spear in his hand tightly and stood in front of the gate, shouting, "Kill!"
The enemies who broke the gate all raised the big sabers in their hands and slashed mercilessly. The leader's long spear stabbed forward, and instantly pierced the abdomen of an enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy's sabers also slashed forward, and the leader was instantly killed. Even the patrol team members lying on the ground were cut by the sabers and swords before they could get up. None of them survived. The troops that followed behind directly stepped on the patrol team's body and turned it into meat paste.
The sword and shield soldiers began to divide into small groups, and like a pack of hungry wolves, they rushed towards the barracks. In the barracks, the soldiers were awakened by the sounds of killing and the alarm. Some of them had already put on their armor, but some did not have time to put on their armor. They could only hurriedly pick up their weapons and fight with the enemies that rushed into the barracks.
The soldiers of the First Brigade were the elites of the Shanhai County Army. Each of them had been through hundreds of battles. Even if they did not wear armor, they were not timid and did not fall into a disadvantage at all. While they beat back the enemies that rushed into the barracks, they gathered together, trying to rush out of the barracks and join the main force.
The cavalry that followed behind split into several groups. Under the leadership of Military Kill Ripper, they shuttled between the barracks and specifically attacked the troops that had already gathered, trying to stop the soldiers of the First Brigade from gathering together. The scattered troops were immediately scattered by the cavalry and began to fight on their own.
The archers that followed behind formed a formation in front of the barracks. Wave after wave of arrows were aimed at the top of the barracks and poured down mercilessly.
For a moment, the First Brigade of Shanhai County Army was in a mess. They had a large army, but they were separated by the enemy and could not gather together. The shouts, the neighs of the warhorses, the sounds of arrows piercing through the air, and the cries for help of the wounded mixed together and filled the sky above the barracks, forming a human tragedy.
As a special-class general, Shi Wansui was very vigilant. When the patrol team discovered the anomaly, he immediately woke up. As an experienced general, Shi Wansui did not directly run out of the barracks to see what was going on. Instead, with the help of his guards, he began to put on his armor.
After putting on his armor, Shi Wansui carried his spear and walked out of the barracks. At this time, the enemy was still fiercely attacking the entrance of the barracks. When he discovered the enemy attack, Shi Wansui's first reaction was not to think about why or who the enemy was. His first reaction was to quickly gather his troops.
Shi Wansui sent out all his guards to sound the alarm to assist the patrol team. He also woke up the soldiers of the barracks and ordered them to gather at his place.
While waiting for the troops to gather, Shi Wansui ordered his guards to send out an early warning signal.
When the sentry towers along the way saw the early warning signal sent out by the western barracks, they did not dare to be negligent and sent out the early warning signal all the way to the headquarters. When the soldiers on the city wall saw the early warning signal sent out by the sentry towers, they immediately split into two groups and went to report. One group went into the barracks to inform the city guards, and the other went straight to the Marquis's Mansion to inform Ouyang Shuo.
The first to arrive was the First Battalion. Shi Hu hurried over with five hundred armored soldiers. The First Battalion was located at the back of the barracks, so they had enough time to gather their troops.
Seeing the First Battalion rushing over, Shi Wansui felt reassured. With the First Battalion here, he was confident.
Seeing that there were more and more sounds of fighting in the barracks, Shi Wansui made a prompt decision. He knew that he could not wait and had to take the initiative to attack. He gathered his troops along the way. He ordered the First Battalion to form a defensive formation and began to advance towards the Second Battalion's barracks.
Along the way, they encountered small groups of cavalry that were unable to break through the First Battalion's defensive line and were cut down. The troops continued to advance. When the soldiers along the way saw the First Battalion, they immediately rushed out of their tents and joined up with the main army.
Thus, Shi Wansui used the First Battalion to open the way and gathered more and more troops. Towards the end, no one dared to provoke them. When the troops arrived at the Second Battalion's barracks, they had already expanded to over a thousand people.
The Second Battalion was located at the front of the barracks. Because it was troublesome to wear their armor, the helpless Barbarian soldiers could only rely on the shields and Tang swords in their hands to fight against the enemy. They suffered heavy losses.
Seeing the reinforcements rushing over, the surviving soldiers were overjoyed. The First Battalion took over the defensive line and bought time for the Second Battalion to wear their armor. At this moment, Li Mingliang finally arrived with the Third Battalion as reinforcements.
Seeing that the enemy's troops were gradually gathering, Military Kill Kill did not dare to be negligent. He ordered the scattered troops to gather together again to prevent them from being defeated one by one.
Both sides began to gather their troops. The final battle was about to begin.
Shi Wansui did a rough calculation. In less than an hour, the First Brigade had lost more than seven hundred soldiers. He could not help but feel extremely angry. Such a huge loss was unprecedented. Seeing that the enemy's troops were gathering more and more, Shi Wansui did not dare to be negligent, nor did he dare to show off. He ordered his personal guards to send a distress signal to the main camp. (To be continued.)
