Chapter 227 Expedition (Part 1)
When I returned to Shanhai County, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ouyang Shuo did not rush back to the Marquis Mansion, but went straight to the Military Affairs Department to listen to the report from the Director of Military Affairs Department Ge Hongliang. Knowing the fruitful results achieved by the third brigade, Ouyang Shuo's depressed mood finally got some relief.
As expected, General Eilei did not disappoint him. This battle alone was enough for Eilei to gain a firm foothold in the army and establish prestige in the third brigade. Ouyang Shuo was very relieved that evil came to sit in the camp in the east of the city.
Ouyang Shuo ordered Ge Hongliang to place all the captives in the reserve.
A total of more than 2,800 soldiers were captured in this battle. These prisoners were all regular soldiers, and they didn't need to be transferred again. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not waste them. When the time was right, he would transfer them all to active duty.
Ouyang Shuo then informed Ge Hongliang of the military operation of the camp in the west of the city, and asked the Military Affairs Department to cooperate with it.
"Director Ge, send me orders!" Ouyang Shuo continued to issue the military order, "Order the Second Battalion of the Second Brigade to rush to the base camp to report immediately; order the city defense battalion of Yushui County to assist the Third Brigade to move eastward and wipe out Yishui Town and Gushan Town. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are divided into two groups, assisting the West Camp and the East Camp respectively to complete the extermination mission."
Ouyang Shuo was really angry this time, and he didn't want to leave any way for the enemy to survive.
"Here!"
After leaving the Military Affairs Office, Ouyang Shuo rushed to the military camp in the city without stopping. He found Shenji Yingzheng Wang Yuanfeng, and after explaining to him, he returned to Hou Mansion.
News of the war has spread throughout the territory.
As soon as Ouyang Shuo came back, the mansion immediately became lively. Song Jia, Yingyou and the others were always worried about Ouyang Shuo's safety, now that he had returned safely, they were finally relieved.
Through the alliance channel, Ouyang Shuo made a brief report to the allies about the battle that took place in Shanhai County, reminding them to pay attention to the protection of the territory, so as not to encounter small-timers.
Through this battle, Ouyang Shuo realized that the territory's early warning of the border was far from enough. After the expansion of the territory, the enemy did not build a sentry tower on the border in time, so that the enemy could take advantage of it.
"It's really shameless to kill the army, stealing a chicken is nothing!" the siege lion condemned.
"Wu Yi, is this Sha Po Jun's personal action, or is the Yanhuang League playing tricks behind it?" Bai Hua asked.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said: "Ground speculation is meaningless, just wait and see." Just as Fenghua Juedai was worried, Ouyang Shuo did not want to provoke a full-scale war between the two alliances so early.
How clever Bai Hua was, she immediately understood Ouyang Shuo's voice-over and said, "Understood."
*************
September 4th, the first year of Gaia, Shanhai County.
At six o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo brought his personal guards, Song San, chief of military intelligence, and Wang Yuanfeng, commander of Shenji Battalion, to join the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade, left the city again, and headed straight for the camp in the west of the city.
At Daying Camp in the west of the city, Ouyang Shuo stopped for a while, joined the Guards Battalion who had rested and the First Battalion of the Second Brigade, and set off again. This time, his goal was Tianfeng Town, located in the westernmost part of the Lianzhou Basin.
According to Song San, Director of Military Intelligence, Tianfeng Town is a full 300 kilometers away from Shanhai County, and more than 240 kilometers away from Daying in the west of the city. It is built on the shore of Xila Lake.
Ouyang Shuo's strategic intention is very clear, that is to use this to completely eliminate the threat to the west of the territory, and remove all the three most important player territories in the west of the Lianzhou Basin in one go.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to lead the army on an expedition.
Xiaofeng Canyue, the lord of Tianfeng Town, must never have imagined that Ouyang Shuo would lead an expedition with an army. Therefore, Shanhai County used all cavalry troops this time, just to catch Tianfeng Town by surprise.
In the scorching sun, under the guidance of the military intelligence department, an elite cavalry unit of 1,500 people went deep into the wilderness and officially embarked on a journey of revenge.
In order to speed up the march and shorten the marching time, Ouyang Shuo specially recruited 1,500 green clam horses from the pasture in the west of the city to ensure that each cavalry has two green clam horses, which can be used in rotation on the road.
The route chosen by the Military Intelligence Department deliberately avoided Yongye Town and Guangshui Town on the way to avoid complications. That afternoon, the army successfully crossed Yongye Town and penetrated into the deepest part of the Western Wilderness.
Along the way, the crowd of evil spirits and evil spirits are warded off.
For this expedition, Ouyang Shuo made sufficient preparations. Not only did he bring enough marching tents, but also the military rations provided by the arsenal and two crossbows with three bows and eight cowbeds, filling his storage bag to the brim.
On September 5th, Ouyang Shuo heard system prompts one after another.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yongye Town, rewarding him with 200 merit points."
...
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yishui Town, rewarding you with 200 merit points."
...
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Guangshui Town, rewarding him with 200 merit points."
...
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Gushan Town, rewarding you with 200 merit points."
...
The territories of the four allies of the Tiandao League were broken one after another, making Xiaofeng Canyue and Badao panic all day long. The only consolation is that his territory is too far away from Shanhai County, so there is no worries for the time being.
The defeat of the West Road Allied Forces has fully proved that even if they ask for foreign aid, they will not be able to fight against the mighty Shanhai County.
Yongye Town and the others could still live on for a while, but now they had to leave early.
*************
On the night of September 6, the expeditionary force arrived at the outskirts of Tianfeng Town.
Ouyang Shuo is going to use his own way to deal with his own body, and launch an attack tomorrow morning.
At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, it was just dawn, and the fog had not completely dissipated. The air was damp and hit the clothes. Over time, water stains slowly formed.
The outskirts of Tianfeng Town are quiet, even the most diligent farmers are still sleeping, and everything is silent.
The clatter of horseshoes suddenly sounded from far to near, breaking the silence in the suburbs.
The sound of horseshoes awakened the farmers who had settled outside the city. A middle-aged farmer muttered as he opened the courtyard door. He looked up and saw the cavalry passing by outside.
"The child's father, who is it outside?" the people in the room asked.
"Hush, don't make a sound." The farmer was startled, and said tremblingly: "The army, the endless army. It seems that I have to wander again. Hey, I finally settled down. Why did this happen again?"
"Head of the family, let the lord take care of the war, maybe we can win the battle?"
"Women, what do you know? The kid from Wang Wu's family next door is the one who joined the army. He went to war with the lord three days ago and never came back. I heard that the army of the territory was defeated outside, and the boy who was brought out, None of them came back alive." The farmer was obviously not as optimistic as the mother-in-law.
"What should I do?" The woman turned pale with shock.
"What else can I do? Hurry up and get ready to run away!"
*************
At six o'clock in the morning, a round of orange-red sunrise slowly rose from the eastern horizon, the fog began to dissipate, and the town, which had been sleeping all night, gradually woke up.
At this moment, the army is less than two kilometers away from the city wall of Tianfeng Town. The guards patrolling the city wall saw the approaching army from a distance, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and hurriedly sounded the alarm.
The ear-piercing sound of sirens broke the peaceful atmosphere of the town, and the defenders in the city rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the city wall. A fast horse gallops down the town street, and the knight shouts, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The knight stopped in front of the lord's mansion, without even counting the horses, and hurried into the lord's mansion, shouting as he ran, "Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation!"
Xiaofeng Wanyue, the lord of Tianfeng Town, hurried from the backyard to the meeting hall, and asked, "What's the situation?"
"My lord, there are thousands of cavalry troops outside the city, and those who come are not good!"
"What? Say it again?" Xiaofeng Canyue was so frightened that he dropped the teacup he had just picked up on the ground.
The knight didn't dare to neglect, and repeated it honestly.
Xiaofeng Canyue sat down on the stool, lost her mind, and muttered to herself: "Heaven is dead to me, why is there no clothes, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, and even chased here."
"My lord, what should I do next?"
Xiaofeng Canyue was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down, "Order all the troops to defend the city wall. They are cavalry and are not good at attacking the city. We still have a chance."
"Here!"
After the knight retreated, Xiaofeng Canyue could no longer maintain his composure. He was clear about his own affairs, and he knew that the three hundred guards that he improvised would not be able to stop him no matter what.
Xiaofeng Canyue opened the alliance channel and contacted Badao, the last ally of the Tiandao League, "Brother Dao, Qiyue Wuyi, a demon, has come to me, please, Brother Dao, no matter what, send troops to help. "
Ba Dao trembled in fright, his first reaction was not to rescue Tianfeng Town, but to order the guards to investigate to see if there was any Shanhai County army outside his territory.
"Brother Xiaofeng, it's not like you don't know that all the main forces in Duanren Town have been wiped out. I am powerless." What a joke, Ba Dao dare not go to reinforce Tianfeng Town now.
Xiaofeng Canyue was very angry, and said fiercely: "Brother Dao, I don't need to explain the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The black cloaks and the others have been killed by Shanhai County, and now we are the only two who can rely on each other. If you don't help I have overcome the difficulties, so the next target of Shanhai County is you, Brother Dao."
Ba Dao doesn't understand the truth Xiaofeng Canyue said, but every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xiaofeng, don't worry. When I confirm that there is no army from Shanhai County in my territory, I will How about rushing to help Tianfeng Town immediately?"
Xiaofeng Canyue knew that this was the best result she could achieve, and said bitterly, "Then I'll wait for Brother Dao." As he said that, he closed the alliance channel and began to actively prepare for the battle.
Xiaofeng Canyue knew very well that the city walls would definitely not be able to be defended. If they wanted to avoid being captured, they had to hold on to the Lord's Mansion until the reinforcements arrived.
