Chapter 401: Surprise Attack
"Put!"
Chen San gave an order, and suddenly thousands of archers released their bowstrings in unison, and for a while, the overwhelming arrows covered the sky above the outpost like raindrops.
Whoosh โ
Poof!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Assemble!"
Whoosh โ
For a while, both the patrol soldiers guarding in front of the outpost and the western soldiers guarding the wooden village of the outpost were hit by arrows and let out screams.
Whoosh โ
The rain of arrows continued, but after two waves of arrows, the third and fourth waves were much weaker.
Many of the arrows were simply cut with a piece of wood instead of arrowheads, so the lethality dropped a lot for a while.
The Western Frontier Army was attacked by a rain of arrows, and the losses were also quite heavy, except for the dozens of soldiers patrolling outside the outpost gate who were killed by arrows.
The dozens of soldiers standing on the wooden village also died of blood, and for a while, the defensive force in front of the outpost was almost empty.
Only a few of the remaining Western soldiers looked in horror at their dead companions and let out a rapid roar.
The other Western Frontier troops in the outpost rushed towards the main gate of the outpost with their swords and guns in hand when they heard the first sound of the enemy attack.
It's just that Chen San's nearly 1,000 archers exerted too much power, so that the dense rain of arrows overwhelmed the soldiers reinforced by the Western Army, and they couldn't advance for a while and were stopped behind.
Therefore, the guards of the Western Frontier Army on the wooden village at the main gate of the outpost were completely insufficient.
"Brothers, charge with me!
Seeing this, Chen San was overjoyed, there were few guards left of the Western Frontier Army on the wooden village, and no one could suppress them, and this was the best time to capture the outpost.
Then Chen San took the lead and rushed to the front, and thousands of soldiers who had been waiting for him for a long time, seeing Chen San rushing out, also rushed out under the leadership of their respective centurions.
When the few remaining guards of the Western Frontier Army on the wooden village saw this scene, their souls were immediately frightened, and they were all panicked in their hearts.
But the dense arrows made them dare not move at all, so they had to hide in their hiding places and tremble.
And the soldiers who released the arrows on Chen San's side saw that the people on their side were about to approach the outpost, so they also stopped shooting, drew their swords and followed.
Of course, even if they don't stop, the arrows are already gone.
Seeing that the rain of arrows had disappeared, the soldiers on the wooden village immediately stood up, but at this time, Chen San and the others had already arrived at the position of the sentry gate.
"Rush!"
"Take this outpost quickly!"
Chen San and the others slammed open the sentry gate, and then stood sideways next to the sentry gate, shouting loudly in their mouths, watching a famous soldier pour into the sentry post.
At the same time, the reinforcements of the Western Frontier Army also rushed to the vicinity of the sentry gate, and the two sides broke out in unison, and the battle was immediately brought together.
Poofโ
Woohoo!
For a while, the wreckage of the broken arm flew all over the sky, and the two torrents converged together, and the soldiers on both sides were injured.
"Kill!"
"Hack them to death!"
The soldiers under Chen San's command burst out in unison, they were mercenaries, walking all over the world of the Mingluo Continent, and they participated in many battles.
Although the realm level is not high, the combat experience is extremely rich, and he has not fallen behind when he fights with the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army.
Moreover, Chen San's soldiers, relying on their own military superiority, were not afraid of these Western Frontier troops at all.
A battle to the death broke out between the two sides at the sentry gate, and the Western Frontier Army was finally weakened and defeated by the crazy Chen Sanshi, and hundreds of people suffered heavy losses and continued to retreat.
Seeing that the other party was invincible, Chen San immediately sent people to guard the gate of the outpost, and then completely dispersed his forces to take over all areas of the outpost.
The soldiers of the Western Army retreated all the way to the rear of the outpost, thinking of escaping through the back door and then reporting the battle.
In the end, Chen San led a team of soldiers around the back road, and they were all surrounded in the outpost, and they could no longer escape.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
Chen San personally led a team of soldiers to guard at the back door of the outpost wooden village, and a pair of brown pupils full of murderous intent stared directly at the soldiers of the Western Frontier who had been surrounded by regiments.
It was as if if the other party did not surrender, he would give an order to let the soldiers kill the remaining soldiers of the nearly 100 Western Frontier soldiers.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
Hearing Chen San's voice, many soldiers also shouted for a while, and the soldiers of the Western Frontier who were surrounded by the center turned pale for a while.
"I, I surrender!
"I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting!"
"Leave me ...... alone"
The sound of clanging sounded one after another, and nearly 100 remnants of the Western Frontier Army threw down their swords and guns one after another, not daring to move, for fear of being ordered by Chen San to besiege and kill.
"Take over the post completely, and someone will take them down and keep them in good care. Seeing this, Chen San was relieved that the killing intent in his pupils had dissipated.
It's always good not to continue fighting, which not only saves time, but also avoids more casualties among the corporals under his command in vain.
Moreover, Chen San also had a lot of things he wanted to ask these Western Frontier soldiers, after all, he didn't know much about the things behind this outpost.
The most important thing is not to continue the rapid march, but to know the enemy's intelligence first.
Otherwise, continuing the rapid march will only be a blind eye.
Moreover, the decisive battle of Youyuan Fortress will not end in a while.
And now that he has arrived at the intended location and completely occupied the outpost, there is no urgency.
As long as the soldiers rested and recuperated, and then repaired and strengthened the outpost, whether to send troops to support the fortress or stick to the outpost to intercept the Western Army, Chen San took the initiative.
After the soldiers under his command took away the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army who surrendered, Chen San led a team of soldiers to count the materials in the outpost.
After counting the supplies, Chen San's face turned ruddy, and the grain and grass in this outpost were enough to support half of the thousands of troops under his command.
This is not a lot, and the original defenders in the outpost were only 500 people, so I think this may be the other party's use for a few months.
Moreover, Chen San also found one hundred and fifty sets of armor, two hundred sharp swords, and one thousand arrows in the outpost.
To a certain extent, this also made up for Chen San's scarce war materials, although not much, but better than nothing.
Thankfully, they were able to obtain these supplies by raiding the outpost, and if they had attacked honestly, they might have been used against them.
At that time, these materials will definitely be lost, and it is impossible to say how much they can get.
Inside the outpost, Chen San listened to the report on the battle damage, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"General, there are only two thousand arrows captured and successfully recovered by our army, and all the others have been destroyed. โ
"General, our army has killed fifty-nine people in this battle, three were seriously wounded, and twenty were lightly wounded. โ
"General......
