Chapter Twenty-Nine: Monster Siege (Part II)
On February 1 of the first year of Gaia, it is cloudy, and it is advisable to pray for blessings and migrate, and avoid traveling and filing volumes.
At dawn, the three cavalry members set out from the barracks and headed straight for the watchtower outside the village. The Construction Division has constructed three watchtowers within the territory, each two kilometres apart.
Due to the limited manpower, each tower was assigned a soldier to garrison. Their mission is to keep an eye on the movements of the herd and alert the base camp with wolf smoke.
At the same time, the first, third, and fifth fires of the crossbow cavalry, under the command of Lin Yi, set out from the west gate and headed for the primary mining field in the south of the territory. The mining site is located on the edge of the woods to the west, only three hundred meters away from the woods.
According to the topography of Shanhai Village, the south of the village is the foot of a rocky mountain range, and there are no wild beasts. Not far to the east, there are wide rivers and gorges, and there are only sporadic wild beasts.
As a result, the main location of the herd is the woods to the west and the wilderness to the north. Among them, the woods on the west side are the key defense objects. Inside the woods, there are a lot of wild beasts. It was also the main training site of the former militia.
According to such terrain characteristics, Ouyang Shuo commanded the second fire to sit at the north gate, and Shi Wansui commanded the fourth fire to sit at the west gate. As for the east gate, Ouyang Shuo entrusted Lin Yi's eldest brother, senior martial artist Lin Yue, to lead 20 villagers who had learned martial arts in the martial arts hall to guard it.
In order to strengthen the defense of the west gate, the construction department built two arrow towers on both sides of the west gate. And the most critical fierce fire array was arranged in the open space in front of the west gate.
The entire fire array was a square with a side length of 100 meters, and the four sides of the square were dug into a trench 2 meters wide and 0.2 meters deep. The ditches were filled with oil diluted with water, and then covered with wooden planks and covered with hay. On the surface, there is no trace of the fierce fire array.
The remaining fierce fire oil was arranged in the open space in front of the north gate. Because the north gate was a passive defensive strategy, there was only a two-hundred-meter-long ditch, which was also filled with fierce fire oil diluted with water, covered with wooden planks, and covered with hay.
None of the villagers in the entire Shanhai Village went out except for the members of the crossbow cavalry. Outside the village, the ferry, the shipyard, the docks, the North Dusk Salt Works, the lumber yards, the quarries, and the mining grounds are all out of service. This time the monster attack is aimed at the village itself. These frenzied beasts are about to destroy all the villages established in the wilderness. As for the industries outside the village, they don't care.
According to the national defense strategy proposed by Gu Xiuwen before, Ouyang Shuo formed two large militia reserves. All members of the militia reserve, trained in assault by the crossbow cavalry, were already able to skillfully throw javelins.
The first militia reserve team, with a total of 120 people, was led by Zhao Dexian, director of the Department of Agricultural Reclamation, as the temporary captain, and Zheng Shanpao, the director of the quarry, as the temporary deputy captain. Stationed at the west gate, responsible for the defense of the west side. The second militia reserve team, with a total of 100 people, is headed by Zhao Dewang, deputy director of the Construction Department, and Yuan Shaoping, director of the mining site, as the temporary deputy captain. Stationed at the North Gate, responsible for the defense of the north side.
All the rest, except for the elderly, weak, women and children, were incorporated into the wartime logistics department. The entire wartime logistics department has nearly 200 people, and Cui Yingyu, director of the Material Reserve Department, is the temporary director.
The Agency is further divided into four teams. They were the medical rescue team, headed by senior doctor Dr. Song, with his four apprentices and 20 women, who were responsible for the treatment of the wounded. The material handling team, a total of 60 people, is headed by Zhao Youfang, the director of the logging yard, who is responsible for the handling of javelins and arrows. The collection team, a total of 80 people, led by the senior tailor Mu Qingsi, is responsible for the collection of beast carcasses and furs. The cooking group, 20 people, led by senior chef Gu Sanniang, is responsible for everyone's food and drinking water supply.
In this way, the human resources of Shanhai Village are almost brought into full play. In Ouyang Shuo's thinking, war is about organization and logistics. Only by establishing a sound and highly efficient organizational and leadership system, coupled with a scientific and rational logistical support system, can the key to victory in the war be achieved.
At half past seven in the morning, all the villagers of Shanhai Village had breakfast and went to their respective posts under the leadership of their respective captains.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower on the left side of the north gate, and next to him stood the second fire chief and three dogs of the cavalry team.
"My lord, when will the herd appear?" The three dogs asked.
"Soon, in half an hour at most, they will appear on the edge of the territory."
At eight o'clock in the morning, a system announcement sounded on time!
"World Bulletin: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission - Monster Siege, officially opened! The three major rankings of regional leaderboard, national leaderboard and world leaderboard will be opened at the same time, and I wish you all lords a successful start! ”
"World Bulletin: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission - Monster Siege, officially opened! The three major rankings of regional leaderboard, national leaderboard and world leaderboard will be opened at the same time, and I wish you all lords a successful start! ”
"World Bulletin: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission - Monster Siege, officially opened! The three major rankings of regional leaderboard, national leaderboard and world leaderboard will be opened at the same time, and I wish you all lords a successful start! ”
In less than a minute, billowing wolf smoke rose from the watchtower in the distance.
At the edge of the territory that Ouyang Shuo couldn't see, thousands of wild dogs, under the leadership of the Wild Dog King, were overwhelming, rushing out of the woods and killing towards Shanhai Village.
The Wild Dog is a Tier 3 beast and is one of the most populous beasts in the wilderness. The elite level of the Wild Dog will be increased to level 5, and the King of the Wild Dog will be the boss of level 8.
The menacing wild dog pack had just stepped into the territory of Shanhai Village when they were hit head-on. Countless invisible traps, stepped on by reckless wild dogs. Each trap pit is three meters long, one meter wide, and three meters deep, and the bottom of the pit is filled with sharp wooden wedges. The dense formation made the wild dog pack taste the bitterness. Often a trap pit can bury four or five wild dogs.
From the edge of the territory to the village, it is simply the history of blood and tears of the wild dog population. They are completely using flesh and blood, filling in the traps they encounter along the way.
By the time they finally saw the gate of Shanhai Village, there were nearly 2,000 wild dogs, and less than half were left. Thankfully, none of the dingos thought of escaping along the way. This shows how deep their resentment towards the human lord really is.
At a distance of 400 meters from Shanhai Village, the surviving wild dog colony split into two paths and pounced on the north gate and the west gate respectively. As Ouyang Shuo expected, the main force of the wild dog group, under the leadership of the wild dog king, went straight to the west gate. The remaining about 300 wild dogs, led by elite wild dogs, made a detour to the north gate.
Under the fence of the north gate, the members of the second team of the militia reserve, led by Zhao Dewang, stood in a line, waiting for the order to attack. At the feet of each team member, there is a pile of javelins.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower, watching the wild dogs slowly approach. When the group of wild dogs was only one hundred and fifty meters away from the fence, he did not hesitate to bend his bow and shoot directly at an elite wild dog. His action was the starting gun, and the members of the cavalry on the arrow towers on both sides bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the elite wild dogs, which was a round of vigorous shooting.
A round of shots came down, and the elite wild dogs were almost completely damaged. After Ouyang Shuo shot the first arrow, he didn't shoot again, but stared at the wild dog pack tightly, calculating their travel distance.
When the wild dogs were only sixty meters away from the fence, he waved the order flag in his hand without hesitation. Zhao Dewang below kept staring at Ouyang Shuo, and as soon as he saw him waving the order flag, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Vote!" ”
The team members immediately did not hesitate to say the javelin in their hands and threw it forward. After throwing the javelin, he immediately turned around and picked up the second javelin from the ground and threw it again without hesitation. In this way, the projection was repeated, and at a short distance of sixty meters, the wild dog pack was attacked by three rounds of javelins, and almost all were killed and wounded.
At this time, the cavalry of the second fire, led by the three dogs, rode out of the north gate on horseback and slashed at the surviving wild dogs. In less than ten minutes, the wild dogs in the north were wiped out.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo's ears sounded with bursts of system announcements.
"Regional announcement: Xiaogang Village in Liuzhou region failed to resist the attack of the beast herd, and Shenzhou was removed!"
……
"Regional announcement: Fugui Village in Lianzhou Region failed to resist the attack of the beast herd, and Shenzhou was removed!"
……
"Regional Announcement: Lushui Village in Guilin Region Failed to Resist the Attack of the Beast Herd, and Shenzhou was delisted!"
……
This was the first wave of herd attacks, and many villages did not resist, and were breached by the herds, and their territories were removed. After these players are resurrected and reincarnated, they can only choose to continue their game careers in personal adventure mode, and the lord mode has completely lost their chances.
There is no time to lament the fate of others. Ouyang Shuo instructed the Logistics Department to complete the collection of the wild dog carcasses outside as soon as possible, and recover the javelins thrown out as much as possible. After that, he hurried to the west gate alone to see what was going on there.
By the time he reached the west gate, the battle was nearing its end. There were nearly 700 wild dogs attacking the west gate, and they were able to be eliminated so quickly, mainly thanks to the cavalry team that was ambushed in the mining field.
After receiving the message from the wolf smoke from the watchtower, they waited until the wild dog pack was about to surround the west gate. Suddenly killed from the back of the wild dog pack, and the cavalry of thirty people, led by Lin Yi as the arrow, divided and surrounded the wild dog group. The inside and outside should be combined, and this will eliminate the wild dog pack.
The Wild Dog King was killed by Shi Wansui and dropped a booklet. Ouyang Shuo took it from Shi Wansui's hand, it was a "Colored Silkworm Breeding Technology Manual". It's a good thing, but it's a pity that he doesn't have mulberry leaves now, let alone silkworm seeds, so it's hard to use them in a short time.
After this wave of attacks, Ouyang Shuo's level was raised to level 22, just like riding a rocket. You know, after the level exceeds level 20, it is even more difficult to improve.
Seeing that the west door was intact, Ouyang Shuo was relieved. Leave the west door and turn around the east door. There were only thirty wild dogs attacking at the east side gate, and Lin Yue naturally had no pressure and solved it with the same ease.
After inspecting the east and west gates, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the north gate. According to his predictions, the second wave of beasts was coming soon.
