The rumbling of horse hooves came closer and closer. The mysterious army finally revealed itself. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't the Volunteer Army, but Lin Yi's Janissary division.
Last night, the Imperial Guard Division had quietly left the city, specially taking the mountain roads and quietly passing through the Anti-Qin camp's defensive zone. Finally, they had arrived at Anyang ahead of the Ying Bu army.
Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the flag of Shanhai City on top of the city.
At least he wasn't late.
If the Marquis was captured, Lin Yi would have no choice but to apologize with his life.
"Everyone, charge!"
Lin Yi raised his spear and gave the order to charge.
"Kill!"
Their lances were lifted up one by one, gleaming with a cold light.
The high-speed charging army set off billowing smoke and dust.
At this time, the Di Chen army had just retreated from the top of the city walls and was at their most relaxed moment. They had never thought that they would be attacked outside the city. When they realized that the incoming army was not reinforcements, but enemies.
It was too late.
The distance of two to three li was covered in the blink of an eye.
Even with Lian Po's abilities, he would not be able to reform the formation in a short period of time. The moment he saw the Imperial Guard Division, Lian Po knew that the army was finished. There was no way out.
Lian Po patted his horse and came to Di Chen's side. He said in an urgent voice, "My Lord, let's go! It'll be too late if we stay any longer!" The entire army was in chaos. If they stayed any longer, they would definitely die.
The moment he saw the Imperial Guard Regiment, Di Chen's smile froze on his face. He couldn't imagine why the army of Shanhai City would come. Weren't they still holed up in Jiyuan City?
How could this be? Could they reach Anyang before Xiang Yu's army?
"How could this be?"
Di Chen couldn't believe his own eyes. The change happened so fast that he was caught unprepared.
"Leave? Where are we going? "
Di Chen was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
In the face of such a huge blow, Di Chen almost collapsed.
F * ck his demeanor!
Di Chen wanted to curse out loud to vent the frustration in his heart.
Seeing this, Lian Po tried to persuade, "Where there's life, there's hope."
"Ha!" Di Chen sneered, completely ignoring him.
"Quick, cover the Lord's escape."
Seeing this, Lian Po could only forcefully take Di Chen away.
"Yes, sir!"
Receiving the order, the guards took Di Chen and fled in panic.
The other lords had long since slipped away under the protection of their personal guards.
The scene was spectacular.
On the city walls of Anyang.
"Marquis, look, it's the Imperial Guard."
Wang Feng came to Ouyang Shuo's side and pointed at the army outside the city, beaming with joy.
In a short time, the Featherwood Guard had fallen from heaven to hell, and then back to heaven again. It simply couldn't be more exciting.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. Bai Qi was still as reliable as ever.
Wang Feng was tempted. "Marquis, should we go out of the city to kill them?"
"No!"
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and firmly said, "Firmly guarding Anyang City is the most important task. Don't give rise to new problems. Leave the enemy forces outside the city to the Imperial Guard Division. "
"Yes, sir!"
From the reaction of the Revolutionary Army, Ouyang Shuo guessed that Di Chen must have asked for reinforcements.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Guard Division had arrived a step earlier.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo naturally had to hold his ground.
How could it be a battle outside the city? It was simply a massacre.
The Imperial Guard Division that had launched the assault was too terrifying. They were like a pack of hungry wolves that had charged into a flock of sheep, wantonly killing. The sheep were panic-stricken and ran in all directions, unable to put up any resistance.
Di Chen's army could also be considered an elite force, but unfortunately, the successive attacks had caused the army to completely collapse. The retreat of the commander had caused the army to fall apart.
Lian Po and the others led the cavalry troops and hurriedly retreated from the battlefield.
The infantry that remained naturally became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Imperial Guard Division's massacre was undoubtedly efficient.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the city wall and looked at his personal interface. His contribution points and experience points were constantly rising, and he simply couldn't stop them.
After the second system update, there had been amendments to the campaign. One of them was to remove the setting where experience points couldn't be obtained on the campaign map.
After the battle, Ouyang Shuo's personal level, which had remained stagnant until now, had directly increased by several levels.
After a player's personal level surpassed Level 60, adventure-type players would have to continuously train for half a month to increase by one level. For Ouyang Shuo, leveling up was no different from crawling at a snail's pace if there was no battle.
Compared to personal experience points, Ouyang Shuo was more concerned about the contribution points.
Ouyang Shuo checked. As of now, his contribution points had already reached a terrifying 458,530 points, surpassing the total contribution points he had earned in the Battle of Changping. He was ranked at the top, and no one could shake him.
In other words, in the Shanhai City army, each soldier had killed two people on average, which was truly terrifying.
The accumulated contribution points were obtained by the Imperial Guard Division and the Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Brigade on the battlefield, as well as by the Featherwood Guard along the way.
The 3,000 Featherwood Guards had experienced more battles than the Imperial Guard Division, and earned a lot of contribution points. Just on the city wall of Anyang, they had earned no less than 70,000 to 80,000 contribution points.
The massacre outside Anyang City was even more horrifying.
Seeing such a generous amount of contribution points, Ouyang Shuo's thoughts turned to the campaign mall.
Up until now, he hadn't exchanged for a single item.
[Light Armor Manufacturing Technique Manual], priced at 40,000 contribution points.
Buy!
The Light Armor was the Brilliant Light Armor. Like the Radiant Armor, it was a type of armor from the Tang Dynasty.
Ouyang Shuo bought the Light Armor to enrich the armors in his territory. There were as many as 13 types of armors from the Tang Dynasty. In comparison, the armors in the Armor Workshop of the Combat Division were pitifully few.
With the experience of forging the Radiant Armor, the Armor Workshop was naturally familiar with forging the Light Armor.
Ancient Farming Tools Manufacturing Technical Manual, priced at 100,000 contribution points.
Buy!
Ancient farming tools might not seem eye-catching, but there were actually many types, no less than 30 to 40 types. They involved all aspects of agricultural production, and their effects were extraordinary.
A few simple examples.
Crooked Plough: A farming tool that first appeared in the Dongjiang area during the late Tang Dynasty.
Kongming Cart: A prototype created in the Eastern Han Dynasty and perfected in the Three Kingdoms.
Three-legged Centipede: A three-legged centipede that appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. It was a type of seeding machine.
China had been an agricultural country since ancient times. The invention and improvement of farming tools had accompanied the agricultural civilization for thousands of years. Ancient Farming Tools Manufacturing Technical Manual was the crystallization of ancient agricultural wisdom.
It was priced at 100,000 contribution points, which was not expensive at all.
With this manual, the agricultural production level of the Shanhai Territory would rise to a new level.
Food was the most important thing to the people.
Agriculture could never be overestimated.
As for the other items, Ouyang Shuo was not interested in them.
What he needed the most right now was a sword art manual. Unfortunately, the sword arts in the market were only gold-level. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was not interested in them.
Not just gold-level, he would even have to consider a king-level sword art.
After purchasing, Ouyang Shuo closed the market.
Outside Anyang City, it was a scene of killing.
In less than an hour and a half, the 20,000 Di Chen soldiers were completely wiped out. Other than the five thousand cavalry and a small number of soldiers who escaped into the forest, the rest were all killed by the Forbidden Division.
Ouyang Shuo stood on top of the city wall and nodded in satisfaction. "Open the gate!"
"Yes!"
After a while, Wang Feng turned back.
"Hm?"
"Reporting to Marquis, the west gate has been blocked by rocks. We can't open it."
"…"
Ouyang Shuo was slightly embarrassed.
"Signal the Forbidden Division, tell them to enter the city from the south gate."
"Yes!"
After Wang Feng left, Ouyang Shuo also stood up and left. He was going to the south gate to welcome them. Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo called Zhou Bo, Cao Can, and Xiahou Ying over.
The three generals had made great contributions in this battle.
Having witnessed the bravery and ferocity of the Imperial Guard Division, the three of them secretly rejoiced and sighed.
Such an elite army was really amazing.
The Featherwood Guard's performance in the past two days was already amazing enough, but their numbers were too few. Zhou Bo and the others didn't expect the Shanhai Army's division to be so fierce.
Zhou Bo looked at Xiahou Ying with a trace of envy in his eyes.
Xiahou Ying slightly puffed out his chest. He looked at the Marquis in front of him, no longer holding any grudges.
Ouyang Shuo's performance yesterday had already won the approval of Xiao He and Xiahou Ying. A Marquis was able to take the lead and was brave and resourceful. What more could he ask for?
Even Liu Bang might not be as good as Ouyang Shuo.
Xiao He, in particular, had observed the most and was the most emotional. Other than Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang's persuasion, the main reason he could come out today was Ouyang Shuo's performance.
At the south gate.
Lin Yi led the Forbidden Division in formation at the city gate.
When they saw Ouyang Shuo, they immediately got off their horses and saluted.
"Greetings, Marquis!"
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen got off their horses and saluted at the same time. The scene was quite shocking. Xiahou Ying and the others behind Ouyang Shuo focused their gazes again.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and calmly accepted.
After a simple welcome, Ouyang Shuo brought Lin Yi to the Mayor's Mansion.
Under Wang Feng's arrangement, the soldiers of the Forbidden Division began to set up defenses in the city. The Anti-Qin Army could attack at any time, and now was far from the time to relax.
But with the Forbidden Division in charge, Ouyang Shuo didn't need to lead the troops.
After a series of battles, Ouyang Shuo could faintly feel that he couldn't suppress the poison in his body. If one looked closely, there were faint traces of green veins on his face.
The poison caused waves of pain in Ouyang Shuo's abdomen. In order not to worry the soldiers, he could only forcefully endure it. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
With Lin Yi's sharp senses, he immediately noticed Marquis's abnormality.
"Marquis, you?"
"I'm fine!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and sat down in the meeting room of the Mayor's Mansion. He said, "Tell me, does the general have any instructions for me?"
"Yes!"
Lin Yi didn't dare to delay. He immediately took out a secret letter and handed it to Marquis.
Ouyang Shuo took a look and didn't say anything.
The war had developed to this point, and it was time to pull in the net. (To be continued.)
