When the army of Shanhai Town appeared outside the checkpoint, the jaws of the checkpoint guards of the Swift Wind Tribe were about to drop, but fortunately, they were quite well-trained and immediately sounded the enemy attack alarm.

The rapid ringing of bells resounded through the valley, causing a commotion. The people of the Tempest tribe came out of their homes one after another, asking what was going on, and they were all terrified.

When the guards ran in to report, Huan Tai, the leader of the Swift Wind Tribe, had just gotten up and shouted, "Who sounded the war alarm?" ”

"Report to the chief, a large number of troops have appeared in front of the level." The guard said in alarm.

"The army? Which tribe is it from? How many people are there? Huan Tai was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"The banner of the other party is not from any tribe, and it is not clear where the army came from. Roughly estimated, there were at least a thousand people, and they were well armed, not like tribal hunting teams, but like official soldiers. ”

"Officers and soldiers? It's not good, it's the army of Shanhai Town. Huan Tai still had some knowledge, and immediately reacted, and said loudly: "Gather the hunting team immediately and all of them will be stationed at the checkpoint to defend, damn it." ”

"Yes!"

There are a total of 800 people in the hunting team of the Wind Tribe, and only 200 people are usually stationed at the checkpoint at the mouth of the valley, and the remaining 600 people stay in their respective homes, and only gather together when they go out hunting. Therefore, it is not easy to assemble a team quickly. Huan Tai gathered his troops and pacified his people.

When the four hundred people were assembled, Huan Tai was not ready to wait any longer, he was very worried that the garrison would not be able to resist the attack of Shanhai Town. Huan Tai decided to take these 400 people to the checkpoint to reinforce first, leaving his deputy Huan An to wait for the remaining members of the hunting team.

……

In front of the level, Shanhai Town attacked first. Relying on the advantage of range, the crossbowmen of the city defense battalion shot wave after wave of arrows towards the checkpoint, suppressing the opposing guards. Although it did not cause much damage because of the blockade of the battlements, it made the opposite side dare not show its head easily. The reason why the Wind Tribe is limited to the range of a single wooden bow can only stare dryly, and there is no power to fight back, which is very uncomfortable.

After suppressing the guards, Ouyang Shuo ordered the infantry battalion to launch an attack on the gate of the checkpoint. The soldiers carried the thick bumper wood, raised their shields above their heads, and quickly rushed towards the level.

At this time, the checkpoint guards finally reacted. Seeing that the enemy was about to hit the foot of the checkpoint, at the critical moment, they could no longer care about the rain of arrows shot from the opposite side, and began to counterattack.

Realistically speaking, the hunting party is not powerless, in the end they have a geographical advantage. As soon as they found that the infantry battalion was trying to get close to the checkpoint, they fearlessly fought back, braving the rain of arrows, constantly smashing down logs or stones, and stubbornly repelling the infantry battalion's attacks again and again.

Finally, the first batch of reinforcements led by Huan Tai arrived at the checkpoint. The arrival of Huan Tai quickly stabilized the morale of the army, and they began to organize a more ferocious defense, rolling logs and stones were smashed down desperately.

Looking at the increasing number of guards, Ouyang Shuo frowned, turned to Ge Hongliang and said, "No, if you continue to stick like this, the city defense battalion will not be able to suppress it." Pass my order and order the infantry battalion to attack, this time at all costs, to take the gate in one fell swoop. The latter sentence was addressed to the herald.

"Yes!" The herald on the side immediately turned away.

After Shi Wansui received the order, his face was hideous, and he said loudly: "Brothers, Lord Lord has been watching our performance. As the main attacking force, it has not won a single broken door for so long, which is simply a shame for the infantry battalion. The group of cubs in the Wolf Mountain garrison camp couldn't sit still, and asked the adults for their orders, saying that they would take the main attack task in our place. Can you stand this bad breath? ”

"I can't stand it!" The soldiers shouted loudly.

"I can't stand it, so what should I do?" Shi Wansui's voice resounded throughout the camp.

"Take the gate and defend the honor!" The crowd was passionate.

"Well, that's the determination. Obey my orders, and the infantry battalion will attack as a whole. If you can't take the gate this time, don't live to see the adults, I can't afford to lose this person! Shi Wansui yelled.

"Attack!"

Shi Wansui personally took the lead and completely aroused the blood of the soldiers.

The soldiers of the infantry battalion carried the thick bumper logs, raised their shields above their heads, formed a dense defense, braved the constantly falling logs and the rain of arrows, fearless of life and death, and brazenly rushed to the foot of the checkpoint.

Half an hour later, under the impact of the infantry battalion regardless of life and death, the gate of the checkpoint was finally taken. Ouyang Shuo decisively ordered the Wolf Mountain garrison on the right flank to immediately plug in and rush into the valley together. The city defense battalion in the rear continued to maintain its suppression and advanced slowly.

The gate is broken, and the entire level is immediately in danger of being lost. The soldiers of the infantry battalion rushed to the checkpoint with a roar, ready to start a bloody battle with the hunting party of the Wind Tribe.

The Wolf Mountain Garrison Battalion, which followed up, took over the defense task of the gate. Just in time to fight with the hunting party of the Swift Wind Tribe who rushed to reinforce it. Just as the so-called enemies were red-eyed when they met, the stone wolf roared, "Kill them!" With that, the first one rushed up to start a close-quarters battle with the hunting team.

The 500-strong Wolf Mountain Garrison Battalion was able to control the 200-person hunting team led by Shang Huan'an, plus the Wolf Mountain Garrison Battalion had an equipment advantage, and the battle situation was quickly controlled by the Wolf Mountain Garrison Battalion. Seeing that he couldn't resist it, the helpless Huan An could only lead his troops to surrender.

At the checkpoint, the Tempest tribe was defeated and retreated under the onslaught of the infantry battalion. These teams, which usually only hunt, are the opponents of the regular army. Huan Tai led his troops to resist while shouting loudly: "The army on the other side is the army of Shanhai Town? Why are you attacking us for no reason? ”

Shi Wansui grinned, stabbed an enemy to death with one shot, and roared: "Haha, it's really ridiculous, attacked our Wolf Mountain mine, and dared to do nothing, today I am going to destroy your tribe." ”

At this time, Ouyang Shuo happened to climb the level, heard their conversation, and said loudly: "Huan Tai, order your people to lay down their weapons and surrender, I can surround you without dying." ”

"Hmph, we don't have a bad seed in the Wind Tribe, we'd rather die than surrender!" Huan Tai said stiffly.

"Really? Okay, you can be a good man, I want to see how those old and weak women and children in the valley can be a good man. Ouyang Shuo said playfully.

Hearing Ouyang Shuo's words, the hunting team behind Huan Tai suddenly stirred, thinking that his relatives were still in the valley. If his own people die in battle, their relatives will become lambs to the slaughter.

"You, you shameless!" Seeing that Ouyang Shuo easily relieved the hunting team's will to resist with one sentence, Huan Tai said angrily.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, Huan Tai, I don't want to say it a second time, give up resistance, and surround you without dying, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ouyang Shuo said coldly.

"Hey!" Huan Tai let out a long sigh and reluctantly lowered his weapon.

After disarming the hunting party, Ouyang Shuo ordered the infantry battalion to guard the prisoners. At the same time, the Wolf Mountain garrison was ordered to enter the valley and gather the clansmen of the Swift Wind tribe together.

……

The Tempest Tribe Chamber.

"Director Ge, how are the casualties of the army?" Ouyang Shuo asked with concern.

"Back to my lord's words, a total of 20 people were killed in this battle, 35 were seriously wounded, and 60 were slightly injured."

Ouyang Shuo's face was solemn and said, "The casualties are still a bit big!" The Military Affairs Administration should do a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the fallen soldiers, and make proper arrangements for the work and livelihood support of seriously wounded soldiers after they are discharged. At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job of replenishing the number of soldiers in a timely manner, and I think that the Military Affairs Administration can now start to consider the issue of reserves. ”

"Understood!"

"This time I captured the Wind Tribe, and I didn't get any benefits. The poor are no different from the outcasts in the wilderness, and it is a great loss. Ouyang Shuo said regretfully.

"At least, we've built up our credibility in the region. I see, when the news of the Wind Tribe being captured by us spreads, several small and medium-sized tribes around it will take the initiative to find us to cooperate. Ge Hongliang said comfortingly.

"That's all I can understand."

"My lord, what are you going to do with the Wind Tribe?" Ge Hongliang asked.

"Escort them all back to the territory, take away everything you can, and leave what you can't take here!" Ouyang Shuo said helplessly. He didn't have a better solution, he paid such a big sacrifice, it was impossible to let them go, it was better to go back to replenish the population of the territory.

Seeing Ge Hongliang's embarrassed face, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

"Yes. It was only then that the subordinates observed this valley, which covered a huge area, and the Tempest tribe only occupied a small area. The valley is rich in water and grass, and even better, there is a lake, which is very suitable for grazing. Therefore, the subordinate means that it is completely possible to transform this valley into a horse farm. As you know, infrastructure construction is still underway in Friendship Town. Even if the construction is completed, it is very risky to build a horse farm outside the city, and it is constantly under the threat of nomadic tribes. On the contrary, it is not as good as here, it is inaccessible, as long as you line up a squadron to guard the checkpoint, you can sit back and relax. Ge Hongliang said.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. It's just that, after all, this place is far away from the base camp, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so there are a lot of difficulties! ”

"My lord, as long as the military horse farm can be successfully built, it is still very worthwhile to spend some manpower and material resources to build the road from the Xuanniao tribe to the valley." Ge Hongliang continued to persuade.

"Okay, just do what you want!" Ouyang Shuo finally made up his mind and said, "The Military Affairs Administration will communicate well with the Carriage and Horse Division and make the preliminary preparations. After going back this time, it's time to think about contact with the nomadic tribe, and it's not a solution to delay it any longer. ”

"Understood!"
