From recruitment to selection to the army ready to go, Wang Hao has never seen those temporarily recruited players, anyway, the plan has been formulated, the army is accompanied by Huang Zheng, he only needs to be responsible for sneaking into the city and assaulting.

Wang Hao didn't plan to take anyone with him in this assault mission, ordinary soldiers would not be useful at all, and it would drag down his actions, and those master team members were sent by him to escort He Ling and Ni Ping'er to Qishui, after all, only if they escorted, Wang Hao would be more relieved.

The army of Taoyuan Town was not small, and it didn't intend to hide it from anyone at all, and as soon as it was dispatched here, the rest of Daxia immediately knew about it.

Whether it is an aboriginal or a player, no one thought that in such a situation, Taoyuan Town would rashly send troops to provoke a war, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, for a while, there are different opinions, and so on.

The most nervous thing is the defender of Merlin Town, and there is no need to guess the target of Taoyuan Town this time, it is obvious that it is the Merlin Town he is stationed in. Because the relationship between Taoyuan Town and the rebels was acceptable some time ago, and although the rebels were thinking about whether to attack Taoyuan Town again, no one expected that Taoyuan Town would take the initiative to attack, so the defense of Meilin Town was quite weak compared to the army of Taoyuan Town.

The Merlin guard was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and while asking for help from above, he actively prepared for defense.

Taoyuan Town is too close to Merlin Town, and if the march is faster, it will be more than a day. When the army arrived at the city, it was not in a hurry to attack, and meticulously set up camp and buried pots to cook. There was no intention of attacking on the same day.

But even so, the Merlin guards did not relax in the slightest. He personally ran to the city wall to inspect it, when he saw the camp of Taoyuan Town in the distance. I can't stand it or a big head. He had heard the news of the capture of Wufang Town and Sanlin Town occupied by the Southern Officers and Army, although he didn't know the specific battle situation, but he didn't think that his Meilin Town would be stronger than those two towns, those two towns were breached by the other party, and it was only a matter of time before his own side was breached. The only thing you can hope for is that the opponent's attack will slow down a bit, and it is best to hold out until your own reinforcements arrive.

The reaction of the rebels this time was not unpleasant, and before the request for help was received, the rebels who learned the news had already sent reinforcements to Merlin Town. The reinforcements were divided into two groups, one from a neighboring town. There are not many, only about 500 people, and the other group is directly sent from Zhongwancheng, there are 2,000 people, so that in terms of troops, the total strength of the rebels will not suffer much, plus the advantage of defense, there should not be much problem in defense.

The first wave of reinforcements came quickly. Almost on the day of the camp in Taoyuan Town, after successfully entering Meilin Town, the guard general seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more confident. It's just that. He thought that Taoyuan Town would launch an attack the next day, but he didn't expect that Taoyuan Town just sent people to the city to sneak around and retreat, where did those soldiers seem to be here to fight. It's like a visitor, pointing at the city walls. For this kind of behavior, there is really nothing the rebels in the city can do. I can only hope that the reinforcements from Zhongwan City can come as soon as possible, and it is best to let Taoyuan Town retreat.

By the next day, the army of Taoyuan Town still had not attacked, and the defender was relieved, because he knew that before noon, the reinforcements of 2,000 men would definitely arrive, and he would be at ease. Unbeknownst to him, just a few hours away from Merlin, the rebel reinforcements were subjected to an unexpected surprise attack.

In fact, this rebel army is careful enough, and the high-level rebels know that Taoyuan Town is best at sneak attacks, and many battles before have been won by sneak attacks, so how can it not be taken precautions along the way, especially in some places where the roads are more difficult, it is really careful and careful. However, what they would never have imagined was that there was no attack in a place with difficult terrain, but an attack on an empty plain. If the timing and place of this appearance were already strange, the rush of cavalry simply shocked the rebels to the ground.

1,000 cavalry against 2,000 infantry, the result was a one-sided slaughter without even thinking about it. However, in the face of the rebel soldiers who were scattered and fleeing, Ye Feiwu, the cavalry general who had regained his sense of battle, did not command his subordinates to disperse and pursue. Before the attack, Huang Zheng had already instructed him that the main purpose of this battle was to defeat the enemy, and by the way, he wanted to use the enemy's mouth to publicize the force of Taoyuan Town, which was the greatest significance of this battle.

The reason why it dragged on for so long and did not attack was to show the rebels the strength of the cavalry, otherwise Merlin Town would have been captured long ago. Otherwise, if you attack early, the rebel reinforcements who get the news will flee back, and there will be one less chance for cavalry to perform.

As soon as the battle here ended, the army outside Merlin Town that received the news quickly began to prepare for battle, and when the defenders resting in the town compound got the news, the siege battle was about to break out.

The defender hurried to the city wall, although he already knew that the reinforcements had been defeated, but the city still had to be defended, and he could not abandon the city without a fight, in which case the rebel commander would not let him go. However, on the way to the city wall, a figure suddenly appeared from the oblique stab, and the guard, who was busy hurrying on the way, did not expect to encounter an enemy attack in the town that he thought was relatively safe, and the enemy's skills were far above them, and almost in an instant, several of his men fell in a pool of blood.

When did Taoyuan Town have such good people? This thought flashed quickly in the mind of the guard, but he didn't have the time to study it, this is not the time to study this kind of problem, saving his life is the most important thing!

However, the man was even better than he had imagined, and before he could go far, the other party had already chased after him. He turned around and tried to resist hard, but he felt a cold neck before he even touched the opponent's weapon, and then there was a whirlwind, and in a trance, he saw the disdainful smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and a trace of unwillingness rose from his heart, but with the darkness in front of him, his consciousness completely fell into the black abyss.

The master was dead, his men scattered in a hurry, and Wang Hao, who was successful, didn't bother to catch up, so Shi Shiran walked towards the town compound. (To be continued.) )
