[Congratulations to Smoke Demon for becoming the first leader of this book! I'm so grateful! Thank you for your support, Demon Bro! At the same time, congratulations to South of Rosy Clouds for becoming the leader of this book! Thank you very much for your support!]
The first brigade, as the vanguard, arrived at the battlefield and saw that they had already taken the gate.
The commander of the first brigade made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to charge.
"Charge!"
The general who was still fighting at the gate saw that the enemy had reinforcements and panicked. He yelled, "Defend the gate! The reinforcements will be here soon! Don't let the enemy get in, or our territory will be in danger! "
"Fight to the death!"
The remaining guards fought with their lives on the line.
"Noisy!"
Lin Yi's face was cold as he patted the horse under him, arriving in front of the general in an instant. He swept his spear towards the enemy's vitals.
The general was startled and swung his sword horizontally, striking the spear with a clang, creating sparks.
A huge force came from the spear, and the general's arm went numb from the impact. He staggered, almost losing his footing.
Even with the support of Charge, such a huge force was enough to shock the defending general.
He knew very well that he wasn't a match for this little general.
In that moment of hesitation, Lin Yi charged forward again.
Lin Yi's spear was extremely nimble. He took advantage of the moment when the enemy was stunned to make a feint, then followed up with a shocking stab, piercing the general's chest.
"Ugh!"
The general spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly lowered his head, looking at the spear in disbelief.
Lin Yi didn't even flinch. He pulled the spear out, and blood spurted out.
The general knelt on the ground, dead on the spot, his eyes wide open.
A gate general couldn't even last three moves against Lin Yi.
"Good!"
The guards cheered for their general's strength.
The city guards, on the other hand, looked at each other in shock, their morale dropping to a freezing point.
"Clear the gate as soon as possible!"
Lin Yi's expression didn't change as he fought the enemy himself.
"Yes, sir!"
The city guards finally couldn't take it anymore and were forced to retreat.
Ten minutes later, the first brigade arrived at the gate.
"General, the first brigade is here as reinforcements!" The commander bowed to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded. "Arrange for one battalion to guard the gate, the rest follow me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Yi knew that the enemy's formation was unstable, and they didn't know the details of the battlefield. This was the perfect opportunity. With the arrival of the 1st Brigade as reinforcements, he was confident that he could face an entire division of the enemy.
If they waited for the rear army to converge, they would have to fight the enemy in the streets.
"Kill!"
Like a black tide, the Invincible Iron Cavalry surged into the city through the city gate, heading straight for the Lord's Mansion.
The shops along the street had already been closed during the battle at the city gates. There wasn't a single pedestrian in the huge street. It was very deserted.
The commoners peeked through the slits of the door, watching the cavalry galloping past, their hearts trembling with fear.
Another chaotic era!
Just as the Imperial Guard Division was halfway there, they bumped into the City Guard Division that was rushing over.
The City Guard Division had just come out of the barracks and were preparing to reinforce the city gates. Who would have thought that the enemy would actually break into the city within twenty minutes?
When two enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave wins.
"Charge!"
Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all as he charged down the street.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
The Imperial Guard Division was filled with killing intent.
"Formation!"
The general of the City Guard Division had no choice but to order his troops to form a formation and defend. The narrow street stretched the City Guard Division's troops into a long line, their heads and tails unable to see each other.
"Shields up!"
The frontmost sword and shield troops raised their shields fearfully under the command of their commander.
"Fire!"
The archers at the back started aiming at the enemy.
Everything seemed to be in order, panicked but not chaotic.
Unfortunately, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The City Guard Division that had formed a formation at the last minute was no different from paper in front of the powerful Imperial Guard Division.
The Praetorian Guard Division was like a bulldozer, rumbling toward the City Guards Division at a speed of seventy-five kilometers per hour. All the enemies in their way were scattered, flattened, and turned into cold corpses.
The long and narrow street had become the enemy's nightmare.
How fast was the Imperial Guard Division's charge? The City Guard Division's archers had the most say.
When they took out their arrows from their quiver, the enemy was still a thousand meters away. When they nocked their arrows, the enemy was already five hundred meters away. When they were ready to shoot, the enemy was already right in front of them.
Sword and shield troops?
Break through!
Cavalry troops?
Break through!
Spear troops?
Break through!
Archer troops?
Trample them to death!
The City Guard Division was lined up densely on the long street, forming one military formation after another. However, they were unable to stop the Imperial Guard Division at all.
They were like the grim reaper from hell, coldly and mercilessly harvesting lives.
One after another, the military formations were torn apart at a speed visible to the naked eye like they were made of paper.
The previously orderly army instantly turned into a pot of porridge.
The soldiers pushed the generals, and the generals pushed the soldiers. It was chaos.
Countless soldiers were knocked away by the Imperial Guard Division's cavalry, falling into the smelly gutters on both sides of the street. The long and narrow gutters were instantly filled with broken soldiers.
"How could this be?"
Seeing how strong the enemy was, the general of the City Guard Division paled.
"General, we can't stop them, what do we do?"
There was no room for maneuver in the street formation. The general's face was also unusually ugly as he roared, "What do we do? What else can we do? We have no way out, we can only fight to the death! "
"Fight to the death!"
… …
"Fight to the death!"
Unfortunately, the cavalry didn't slow down at all. Even their shouts were uneven. Morale couldn't be used to win a war.
For the first time, despair flashed across the general's face.
The Imperial Guard Regiment was like a divine weapon, slicing the City Guard Regiment in half.
Under Lin Yi's leadership, the soldiers' will was twisted into a rope. No matter who the enemy in front of them was, or how many there were, their only action was to charge, charge, and charge.
Blades flashed, spears flashed, and lances raised.
There were simply too many enemies, and they couldn't kill them all. More than half of them were pushed under the eaves on both sides of the street.
In the face of such power, the scattered City Guard Division soldiers didn't dare to go forward and fight. They stared blankly at the Imperial Guard Division, heading straight for the Lord's Mansion.
The Imperial Guard Division had created another record.
With less than a brigade, they had defeated an enemy five times their size.
Impressive, Imperial Guard Division!
"General, do we chase after them?"
"It's useless!" The general of the City Guard Division was dejected, "We can't fight against such a strong force!"
One hour.
In just one hour, the Imperial Guard Division had completely taken over Leishan County.
When Bai Qi led the rear army to Leishan County, the flag of Shanhai Territory was already on the city wall. At this time, the team in charge of escorting the siege equipment was still on the way.
The Imperial Guard Regiment had fought a beautiful vanguard battle, defending their glory. This was their first battle since they were formed, and they lived up to the name of Shanhai City's invincible army.
The moment Leishan County was taken, Ouyang Shuo was sitting alone in his study.
Suddenly, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Not Wearing for taking over Gushan County, the reward is 1000 merit points."
Ouyang Shuo smiled, picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip of the white tea, the fragrance of the tea filling the air.
Less than an hour after the battle, Ouyang Shuo received a detailed battle report from the Black Snake Guards through the courier station.
Using the courier station, the Black Snake Guards weaved an efficient communication network. Every unit had a member of the Black Snake Guards accompanying them to pass on the latest battle reports and military orders.
Looking at the battle report, Ouyang Shuo raised his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Come in!"
"Here!"
His secretary, Lang Bai Nanpu, walked in.
"Imperial Decree: The Imperial Guard Division has won the first battle and strengthened our military might. I hereby confer the title of Tiger General to show his bravery and merit. The rest of the soldiers will also be rewarded. "
"Yes, Sir!"
This was the first time Ouyang Shuo was conferred the title of General because of his merit.
Except for Wang Feng, who was appointed as the commander of the Feather Wood Guards, who was appointed as the Feather Wood General. Before Shanhai City, only two Divine Generals, Bai Qi and Sun Bin, had obtained the title of General.
Bai Qi was the Commander in Chief, and Sun Bin was the Great General.
According to the system of the Han and Tang dynasties, this was the highest military rank.
In the Han Dynasty, the Tiger General was a Fifth Rank Extra General, and it was usually conferred to the generals who fought bravely in battle.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yu Jin, Lu Meng, Zhao Yun, and other generals had received this title.
It was already a great honor for Lin Yi to be conferred this title, and it was a first in Shanhai City.
One could imagine how excited the others would be when the news of Lin Yi being conferred the title spread throughout the army. They would definitely hope to be conferred the title of General through their merit.
The Thunder Prefecture Battlefield was a great opportunity for him.
Thus, it could be considered as a healthy competition for the generals in Shanhai City.
Only with rewards would there be motivation.
In the future, Ouyang Shuo would be conferred the title of General based on his merit.
After the title was conferred, the position of General was not fixed. If he made another contribution, he could be promoted.
After taking down Leishan County, the central army set it as their headquarters. After that, a steady stream of siege weapons and rations were transported from the port to Leishan County.
Leishan County was temporarily under military control.
The lord of Leishan County was still in the dark when he was reincarnated in Quanzhou.
Until now, he still didn't know which force had destroyed his territory.
After taking down Leishan County, Bai Qi didn't attack immediately to avoid alerting the enemy. The destruction of a territory was just an accident. If more territories were destroyed, even an idiot would be able to guess that something big had happened.
Bai Qi waited for the northern and southern armies to get into position.
On the 21st, Beihai Bay Fleet's first formation returned to Beihai Port.
On the 23rd, Mu Guiying led the northern army to their destination.
On the 24th, Fan Lihua led the southern army to their destination.
On the 25th, Luo Shixin led the second division to Leishan County.
The battle of Leizhou had begun! (To be continued.)
