Outside Tianfeng Town, Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly when he saw the guards on the city walls. He ordered his troops to continue advancing until they were less than five hundred meters away from the city walls.
Ouyang Shuo unhurriedly took out two Three Bow Eight Bull Bed Crossbows from his storage pouch. Under the guidance of the Divine Arms Battalion Commander Wang Yuanfeng, the personal guards started to assemble and calibrate the crossbows.
After debugging, he immediately fired the Treading Arrow at the city wall.
Rows and rows of arrows were nailed to the city wall, forming a forest of arrows on the city wall, similar to the climbing wall of modern society.
The First and Second Platoons of the Personal Guard Camp, who had long been prepared, nimbly dismounted from their horses under the personal leadership of Battalion Commander Wang Feng. They ran to the base of the city wall, and with the help of the Treading Arrows, they swiftly began to ascend the city wall.
The cavalry battalion continued to advance until they were within the firing range of the horn bows. They nocked their arrows and rained down arrows on the city walls, suppressing the firepower of the city guards and covering the advance of the personal guard battalion.
Heavenly Wind Town had just lost a thousand soldiers, and there were only a few of them left. How could they possibly be a match for the cavalry battalion? They were suppressed to the point where they did not even dare to show their faces. Once he revealed his head, he would be shot by an arrow and die instantly.
The scattered stones did not pose any threat to the vanguard team. One by one, they successfully climbed up the city wall.
After the vanguard team climbed up the city wall, they pulled out the Tang Swords from their waists and fought with the city guards.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Squad of the Personal Guard Camp to carry the battering ram that was prepared in the morning and start charging towards the city gate, preparing to break through the city gate.
On the city wall, the members of the vanguard team raised their swords and dropped them, often killing an enemy. Although they didn't have the advantage in numbers, they had the absolute upper hand in terms of strength. They were able to kill the city guards and force them to retreat again and again.
In less than twenty minutes, the unguarded city gate was breached. The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Platoons of the Personal Guard Camp immediately ascended the city wall to assist their companions in eliminating the city guards.
Ouyang Shuo put away the Three Bows Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow and ordered his troops to enter the city, preparing to harvest the fruits of victory.
In less than an hour, the mighty army successfully killed their way into the city gates.
After the cavalry entered the city, the people of Tianfeng Town turned pale with fright and hid in their homes, not daring to show their faces. Ouyang Shuo didn't care about these commoners. His army headed straight for the Lord's Mansion. As long as they occupied the Lord's Mansion, the outcome would be set.
The Lord of Heavenly Wind Town, Elder Dawn Wind Waning Moon, led his last group of personal guards and all of the reserve members, a total of 500 or so people, to guard the Lord's Mansion.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that ten minutes ago, Ba Dao had finally brought the last three hundred elites of Duanren Town to reinforce him and protect the Lord's Mansion with him.
The street leading to the mansion was densely packed with barricades. Using the time gained by defending the city walls, Dawn Wind Waning Moon mobilized the territory's residents to use wood and stones to block the roads, trying to stop the enemy cavalry and buy more time.
When Ouyang Shuo saw this scene, he steeled his heart and ordered everyone to dismount and fight as infantry. He left three platoons of the Second Battalion of the Second Brigade in charge of guarding the horses. The rest of the cavalry crossed the barricades one by one and marched resolutely towards the Lord's Mansion.
Inside the mansion, two simple archery towers were temporarily built. Under the protection of his personal guards, Dawn Wind and Waning Moon stood on one of the watchtowers and sternly said, "How can you say you have no clothes? You are so cruel."
Ouyang Shuo laughed and shook his head. "Since you dared to provoke Shanhai County, you should be prepared to die along with the territory."
"I won't let you succeed."
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He turned to look at Ba Dao and sneered. "You are Duanren Town's Lord, Ba Dao, right? You are very brave! "
Facing Ouyang Shuo's threat, Ba Dao's expression didn't change. "Today, either you die or I live."
"Good!" Ouyang Shuo shouted and coldly ordered, "Attack!"
Ouyang Shuo took out the Three Bow Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow again. Under Wang Yuanfeng's command, he aimed at the two watchtowers and prepared to deal with the enemy's threat on the high ground.
The 'One Spear, Three Swords Arrow' fired by the Bed Crossbow was like a cannonball that had just left the barrel, accurately flying towards the arrow tower, making a series of sharp whistling sounds in the air. The huge arrows that were like javelins directly hit the warriors on the arrow tower and sent them flying. Even the arrow tower itself was shaved off a large piece. It was on the verge of collapse, splashing sawdust all over the sky.
If Elder Dawn Wind and Waning Moon wasn't smart enough to jump down from the watchtower before the Three Bow Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow was fired, he would have already died.
Wang Yuanfeng persisted and ordered to fire two more rounds of "One Spear Three Sword Arrows". The watchtower finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into two pieces. It creaked and fell down, raising a cloud of dust.
The soldiers under the watchtower retreated in panic, all of them were dumbstruck. The Three Bow Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow's great power left an indelible shadow in the hearts of these soldiers.
After destroying the watchtowers, Ouyang Shuo ordered the troops to continue advancing.
"Shoot!" The cavalrymen turned into archers and formed a formation outside the mansion. They chose to use the projectile method to rain arrows into the mansion to suppress the enemy. The personal guards still acted as a sharp knife and began to attack the mansion's gate.
From time to time, miserable screams came from inside the mansion. There was no need to guess, it was definitely an unlucky person who was shot by the arrows. The dense rain of arrows forced the soldiers to retreat to the corridor, not daring to stay in the courtyard. No matter how Elder Dawn Wind and Ba Dao shouted, the soldiers didn't dare to come out.
What a joke, with such a dense rain of arrows, standing in the spacious courtyard was like a live target.
Behind the gate was a pile of stones, it was difficult to break through in a short period of time.
Ouyang Shuo decided to use the same trick again and ordered Wang Yuanfeng to use the Three Bow Eight Bulls Bed Crossbow to fire "Treading Arrows" at the walls of the mansion. The personal guards skillfully used the "Treading Arrows" to climb up the walls, jumped down, and entered the mansion to fight with the enemy.
The 500 personal guards were like 500 ferocious tigers, setting off a reign of terror in the mansion.
Ouyang Shuo was still not satisfied, he ordered a portion of the cavalrymen to climb up the walls and continue to provide fire support for the personal guards from above. The remaining people began to attack the mansion's gate with all their strength.
The wood that Elder Dawn Wind and Waning Moon used to set up the barricade was carried over by the cavalrymen and used as a temporary battering ram.
Inside the mansion, the rain of arrows stopped. Under the lead of Elder Dawn Wind, Waning Moon, and Ba Dao, the soldiers rushed out of the corridor and fought with the personal guards who jumped into the courtyard.
Even though they had the advantage in numbers, the allied forces of Tianfeng Town and Duanren Town were still being killed and forced to retreat. The temporarily gathered reserve soldiers were rookies among rookies. When they came into contact with the experienced personal guards, they were scared out of their wits and didn't dare to move forward.
Ba Dao steeled his heart and took his elite troops to the very front to fight with the personal guards.
The cavalry archers who climbed up the walls continuously shot arrows down to assist the personal guards in attacking. Ba Dao's troops naturally became the archers' priority targets.
The poor Ba Dao was caught off guard and was shot in the thigh by an arrow, falling to the ground.
When the soldiers of Duanren Town saw the lord injured and fell to the ground, they risked their lives and surrounded him, trying to move him to the rear for treatment. How could the personal guards let go of such a good opportunity and fiercely attacked.
In a short period of time, another reign of terror broke out. The soldiers of Duanren Town, who couldn't concentrate on defending, paid a heavy price to save Ba Dao. At this time, the outcome was already decided.
The cavalrymen on the wall imitated the soldiers of the personal guard camp and leaped into the courtyard. Some of them rushed to the gate of the lord's mansion and moved away the stones that were pushed against the gate.
Helpless, Dawn Wind Waning Moon could only gather the remaining troops, abandon the courtyard, and retreat to the meeting hall. In the meeting hall, Tianfeng Town's territory stone tablet was already slowly rising, waiting for the unknown fate.
The personal guards didn't immediately attack the meeting hall. Instead, they helped the cavalry break open the gate of the lord's mansion. After breaking open the gate, Ouyang Shuo led the remaining troops into the lord's mansion.
Because the courtyard of the lord's mansion had limited space, most of the cavalry was left outside the lord's mansion and surrounded it to prevent anyone from escaping, especially Lord Dawn Wind Waning Moon. At the same time, they were also responsible for monitoring the territory and preventing any reinforcements from coming through the teleportation formation outside the lord's mansion.
After the expeditionary army of Shanhai County entered the courtyard, they lined up again and reorganized their battle formation, preparing for the final battle.
Inside the meeting hall, the allied forces gradually revealed expressions of despair as they watched the enemy troops file into the hall.
The personal guards acted as the vanguard and were the first to charge into the meeting hall.
The allied forces were fighting with their backs to the wall. They had no way out and could only fight to the death.
The narrow meeting hall became the battlefield for the final battle between the two sides.
The soldiers of the personal guards relied on their steel-like will, invincible spirit, superb skills, and excellent equipment to advance courageously. They didn't fear death and viewed honor as their life. Attacking and killing the enemy were their instincts.
The soldiers formed a highly efficient killing machine, constantly pushing forward. Death was the best gift for any enemy who stood in the way of the personal guard camp, and the blood of the enemy was the best baptism.
Such a ferocious army caused the enemy to tremble in fear at the sight of it.
Dawn Wind Waning Moon and Tyrant Blade incessantly boosted their morale and made their final struggle.
The killing continued. Boiling blood flowed through the cracks of the stone floor of the meeting hall, forming countless bloody footprints on the ground. It was like an Asura training ground.
Cold blade lights flashed and blood splattered everywhere. The screams of the wounded were drowned out by the blade lights and couldn't cause any splashes.
Ouyang Shuo stood outside the meeting hall, expressionlessly watching this feast of killing.
When the ground was dyed red with blood, when their comrades fell into pools of blood one after another, when the weapons in their hands were cut in half, when the blood of their comrades blurred their vision, the allied soldiers finally lost the courage to continue fighting and fled. They passed through the back door of the meeting hall and attempted to escape to the backyard.
Dawn Wind Waning Moon smiled bitterly. He didn't retreat like Tyrant Blade. Instead, he unsheathed the sword at his waist and faced the oncoming personal guards alone. He shouted loudly, "Kill!" This was Dawn Wind Waning Moon's final song as a lord. The personal guards pounced on him and slashed him into a pool of blood. (To be continued.)
