On June 24, the second bandit suppression in Shanhai County finally came to an end.

Compared with the first time, the second bandit suppression area has expanded three times, and the harvest is naturally more abundant. A total of 5,400 gold coins were seized, 5,500 people were captured, and a large amount of food, grass, materials and weapons and equipment were seized.

The most important thing is that this time, I was lucky enough to get a technical manual.

["Cloud Ladder Manufacturing Technology Manual"]: After use, you will automatically master the cloud ladder manufacturing technology.

Last time the bandits attacked the city, Ouyang Shuo could have seen the power of the cloud ladder. This kind of siege weapon naturally made him covetous. The "Technical Manual for the Cloud Ladder Manufacturing" was handed over to the War Preparation Department by Ouyang Shuo, who was responsible for organizing craftsmen to research and strive to make a finished product as soon as possible.

Ouyang Shuo did not forget that there were still a group of bandits waiting for him to clean up. The appearance of the ladder was undoubtedly a gift from heaven. Otherwise, there would be no other good way to do that majestic pass.

According to Shi Wansui, this time the bandit suppression encountered a tough problem. It was a high-level bandit camp with more than 3,000 bandits, including more than 500 elite bandits and 1,500 ordinary combat bandits.

Fortunately, the mixed brigade, which had been formed for more than one month, has experienced many battles and accumulated a lot of experience in combating bandits. The battalions cooperated properly. In addition, the first battalion of the mixed brigade, which was at the forefront, had four squadrons equipped with sprinters and men. The defense was astonishing as an iron barrel, and finally took down the bandit camp without any danger.

In this battle alone, the Mixed Brigade lost more than 100 people. You should know that in the two large-scale bandit suppression operations, the Mixed Brigade only lost more than 300 people, which shows the intensity of the battle at that time.

In fact, when the county level is reached, the bandits are basically unable to pose too much threat to the territory. Because the scale of bandits is limited, the high-level bandit camp is already at its limit. In the wilderness, there are few targets that can be plundered, with more monks and few meat. A large number of bandits gathered together and could only go hungry.

Faced with a well-equipped regular army like the Mixed Brigade, the bandit camp was almost powerless to fight back. It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo did not participate in the bandit suppression operation after being promoted to the county town and directly handed over to Shi Wansui for handling.

In addition to selecting 1,000 people to join the reserve, the remaining 4,500 people were sent to Youyi Town by Ouyang Shuo to help Youyi Town advance to a first-level county town. With three affiliated territories, Youyi Town has the slowest development. Ouyang Shuo really couldn't bear it and was unwilling to favor one or the other.

Zhou Haichen was appointed as the magistrate of Friendship County. Zhou Haichen was naturally grateful for his trust in the adults. He did nothing in his three affiliated territories, so he felt guilty and felt that he had to let the adults entrusted him.

Ouyang Shuo didn't say anything, just asked him to continue to work hard.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo ordered Lei Xun, who was responsible for collecting intelligence from nomadic tribes, to speed up the pace of intelligence collection. At the same time, he sent a letter to Sun Tengjiao, who had just been promoted to the second battalion of the Pioneer Battalion, to ask him to step up the training of new recruits to ensure that the newly formed cavalry battalion could be used at any time.

In the just-concluded bandit suppression operation, Ouyang Shuo specially asked Sun Tengjiao to join the cavalry battalion, which was to consciously temper the team and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, the average rank of a soldier in a battalion must reach the fifth-level rank to be considered qualified. Otherwise, in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, it would be the new recruit camp.

At the same time, in order to enhance the strength of the second battalion of the Pioneer Battalion, after a month of investigation, Ouyang Shuo appointed the second leader of the Black Cavalry, who was the previous bandits attacking the city, as the deputy battalion commander of the Second Battalion.

Although the Black Cavalry led a thousand cavalry when the bandits attacked the city, and now they are just deputy battalion commanders, they seem to be demoted by two levels in a row. However, for a surrendered general, it is considered a preferential treatment.

Of course, on the other hand, it is also because of Sun Tengjiao's ability, which is not much inferior to the Black Cavalry. In addition, his qualifications are there, so he naturally has the priority to be promoted to Sun Tengjiao.

Furthermore, according to the pace of military expansion in Shanhai County, as long as the Black Cavalry performs well and is loyal, and at the same time makes military achievements for Shanhai County, it is only a matter of time before it can be promoted to the camp.

The 5,400 gold coins seized by the bandits, plus the 7,600 gold coins paid by the Langshan Mine and Beimu Salt Field in the first half of June, totaling 13,000 gold coins. Among them, the financial subsidy was allocated to the three affiliated territories, a total of 2,500 gold coins were spent on purchasing the architectural drawings of the basic buildings of the second-level county town, a total of 1,250 gold coins were spent on transferring positions in the Third Battalion of the Beihai Fleet and the Second Cavalry Battalion of the North North Camp, and the other was the supplementary cost of 250 gold coins for the loss of soldiers in the Mixed Brigade, which was just 7,000 gold coins left.

Ouyang Shuo did not deal with the remaining 7,000 gold coins immediately, but planned to wait two days later to count the income for the second half of June before making unified arrangements.

In the afternoon, Shanhai County Council Office.

After the bandit suppression ended, Ouyang Shuo officially began to attack the surrounding players' territory.

According to the deployment of the Military Affairs Bureau, the code-named "Lightning" of this operation is to quickly pull out eight player territory on both sides of the east and west with lightning speed.

For this reason, Shanhai County did not hesitate to mobilize a large army.

Lightning Operation is divided into two ways, east and west, moving in unison and acting together.

There are only three player territory on the East Road, which are led by Shanhai County Defense Battalion, Lushui County Defense Battalion, Youyi County Defense Battalion and Pioneer Battalion Second Battalion, and the Military Affairs Director Ge Hongliang is the commander of the East Road Army.

The four battalions of the Eastern Route Army were not thorns, and Ge Hongliang would be able to command them easily. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also wanted to take this opportunity to hone the coordinated combat capabilities and long-distance marching capabilities between the city defense camps.

With the development trend of Shanhai County, passive defense is not Ouyang Shuo's purpose, and active attack is his style. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo does not want the city defense camp to stay in the city, slowly deteriorate and lose combat effectiveness. It must be pulled out from time to time and devoted to actual combat to maintain morale and blood.

There are five player territory on the West Road, and the Mixed Brigade is fully responsible. Shi Wansui is the commander of the West Road Army.

Because according to the feedback from the Military Information Department, there was no decent city wall in the target territory, Ouyang Shuo did not dispatch the Shenji Camp this time.

The entire army in Shanhai County was dispatched this time, and the battle was even bigger than the bandit suppression. The target of the attack was a third-level village that was not even as good as the high-level bandit camp. Naturally, there were other considerations.

Seeking fast is the core of this lightning operation.

Try to capture eight territories at the same time, and catch the other party off guard.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo specifically told the army to arrive at the other village, do not bother and rush in directly, take down the other lord's mansion, and complete the occupation mission.

After the player's territory is occupied, all players in the territory will be automatically teleported to the adjacent system king city, and players in the Lianzhou Basin will naturally be teleported to Dali.

If the player dies during the capture process, he will also be resurrected in the reincarnation hall of the system city.

Therefore, in order to resolve the battle with brisk resolution, the east and west armies will set off early tomorrow morning, march to the edge of the territory, and set up camp. The next morning, they will break into the opponent's territory and catch them off guard. At that time, many players may not have been online yet, and they don't even know who the enemy is.

This is exactly the effect Ouyang Shuo wants to achieve.

If all of these eight territories were known to be destroyed by Shanhai County, then once they promoted them on the forum, they would further embrace other lords in the Lianzhou Basin, which was not the result Ouyang Shuo wanted to see.

Only by not knowing who the enemy is will the lord players make suspicious of each other and not point all the fingers at Shanhai County. Ouyang Shuo is raising a Gu, but he doesn't want the Gu insects to be hugged together.

Raising a Gu means letting the Gu insects fight each other and eventually leaving behind the strongest ones.

After deciding the strategy, the battalions are returning to the military camp to prepare tomorrow's supplies.

On June 25, the army set out.

The Mixed Brigade set out from the west camp of the city and headed to the westernmost side of the territory. The three city defense camps and the second battalion of the Pioneer Camp set out from their respective camps, first arrived at Lushui County to meet, and then headed to the easternmost side of the territory together.

June 26th, early 5 a.m.

The strategy of the Eastern Route Army and Ge Hongliang was that the three city defense battalions were each responsible for conquering a third-level village, and the cavalry battalion was the mobile force to support the situation.

The Western Route Army, Shi Wansui, did not assign tasks according to the battalion.

Each battalion of the Mixed Brigade is a professional army, so the archer battalion cannot be dispatched separately. For this reason, Shi Wansui disassembled the five battalions and reorganized them according to the squadron, forming five mixed battalions similar to the city defense battalion, including two sword and shield soldiers squadrons, one cavalry squadron, one spearman squadron and one archer squadron.

There are only more than one hundred defenders in the third-level villages, and at most only two hundred. Facing a battalion of troops, there is no reliable fortifications, and the raid is really unsuccessful.

At 5:30 in the morning, eight battalions, a total of 4,000 soldiers were inserted into the enemy's hinterland like eight sharp swords. Under the guidance of the Military Information Department, they were like accurate scalpels, and quickly inserted into the enemy's hinterland.

The third-level village has an arrow tower, and there are stone sentry towers on the periphery. Although the attacking troops were still in the early morning, they still had nowhere to hide. At this time, the battalions did not think about hiding their whereabouts.

The wooden gate of the village was directly knocked open by the leading Shanren sword and shield soldiers. The follow-up troops followed closely and took the enemy's lord's mansion.

At this time, the territory that reacted quickly enough, the defenders had already rushed out of the barracks and prepared to intercept them. When they met on a narrow road, the strong won. The sporadic defenders could not stop the pace of the march and were torn to pieces.

The alarmed villagers saw that their son was defeated so quickly, and they did not dare to go forward. They could only watch the other party rush into the lord's mansion and complete the occupation of the territory.
Chapter completed!
