Chapter 191: Attack
“All shield-wielders, hold your shields! Watch out for traps underfoot!”
“Even if you discover the enemy’s tracks, do not rush forward rashly!”
“Prioritize stabilizing the formation!!”
Although he was unranked, a player ranked over one hundred among numerous unranked players certainly wasn’t a novice.
Being trapped by Ye Qingxuan’s traps could only be attributed to not having expected the opponent to use such a tactic, leaving him completely caught off guard.
However, now he was clearly on guard, and through simple command and deployment, Zhang Peng quickly stabilized his troops.
Watching the invading player’s formation change, Ye Qingxuan couldn’t help but frown, feeling inexplicably disheartened.
She hadn’t been able to further expand her advantage before the opponent stabilized their position.
From this, it was clear that these veteran players were truly not so easy to deal with.
She somewhat understood why Luo Ji had repeatedly reminded her to be careful and cautious.
Facing this situation, Ye Qingxuan quickly blew a unique melody on the wind whistle in her hand.
Just like in the Cold Weapon Era, where bugle calls served as signals for military advance or retreat, Ye Qingxuan now, following Luo Ji’s suggestion, had made herself a wind whistle.
She used pre-determined whistle signals to give simple commands to the soldiers below.
Upon hearing the whistle, the warriors, who had originally prioritized luring enemies into traps, decisively switched to guerrilla tactics.
Watching the figures constantly moving through the mountain forest, Zhang Peng’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily as he stood within his own army formation.
“Damn it! Are these guys mountain monkeys?”
“They’re so agile even on such difficult mountain paths? And that whistle sound just now…”
Thinking of this, Zhang Peng quickly scanned his surroundings.
He was searching for the person blowing the whistle.
The whistle sound was clearly a command signal, and the identity of the whistler naturally didn’t need to be guessed.
As long as he could find the opposing player’s location, he would simply rely on his superior forces to push forward directly.
Why bother dealing with these guys who moved like mountain monkeys?
However, he, who had little experience in mountain combat, had clearly underestimated the mountain range he was in.
It was different from the nearly flat terrain of plains, mountain forest areas also had layers of altitude differences!
Ye Qingxuan was currently standing on a rock formation above them, overlooking the battlefield below.
She wasn’t afraid of her position being discovered by the enemy, because even if it was, the enemy wouldn’t know how to get up.
The complexity of this mountain forest terrain was far beyond Zhang Peng’s imagination!
It was the kind of place where you might not find your way even with a map, let alone Zhang Peng’s current position where he couldn’t possibly see her.
Shifting perspective back to the battle between the two sides, Ye Qingxuan had already seized the initiative in the first engagement.
At this point, Zhang Peng had no strong intention to attack, he only wanted to withdraw first and find a place to regroup.
But the opponent clearly wouldn’t let him leave so easily.
In the blink of an eye, a squad of shield-axemen, whose weapons and equipment were hardly inferior to his own, had already charged forward!
Both sides’ forces quickly clashed.
Zhang Peng’s gaze swept over, estimating the number of enemy shield-axemen to be about 11 or 12.
If not for this limited troop strength, he would truly doubt whether his current invasion target was actually a novice, because it was completely indistinguishable from their weapons and equipment.
To earn that hundred thousand reward, Zhang Peng had clearly not been stingy with his military expenses.
He had brought out almost 70% of his civilization’s forces, seeking nothing less than absolute certainty.
Therefore, in terms of troop strength, he held an absolute advantage.
However, this terrain, equipped with hidden dangers and unknown traps, made them fight cautiously, completely afraid to move freely.
For a time, they were utterly unable to leverage their numerical superiority.
“Pay attention to their movement routes!”
“The places they’ve walked through have no traps!!”
Zhang Peng attempted to overcome the disadvantage and even build an advantage through this method, but the effect was minimal.
Facts proved that expecting a squad of ordinary soldiers to simultaneously defend against the enemy’s attack and multitask by remembering the enemy’s movement routes was simply too demanding.
After the shield-axemen from both sides clashed, the entire battle became somewhat stalemated.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the dense bushes in the rear, and an ambush force unexpectedly charged out!
The ambush force was not large, only about 10 people.
No sooner said than done, as Ye Qingxuan’s trump card, Ye Feixing, leading this raiding squad, burst forth with extreme speed the moment he emerged from the cover of the bushes, charging directly towards Zhang Peng!
From the beginning, he had been observing.
That Zhang Peng from the opposite side was clearly the Leader of these foreign invaders.
As long as he was killed, this battle could end.
Zhang Peng’s expression abruptly changed as he sensed the approaching danger, and he quickly raised the round shield in his hand to block.
At that moment, only a dull thud was heard as Ye Feixing’s spear directly struck the round shield.
The sharp spearhead actually sank several points into the shield’s surface, nearly piercing his round shield on the spot!
“Damn it!”
This situation undoubtedly startled Zhang Peng.
Looking at the spearhead gleaming with metallic luster, his entire face changed color.
Thousands of words, in the end, could only converge into an explosive ‘Damn it!’
What else could he say?
Bloody hell, is this a novice?!
“Shield-axemen, stop him!”
“Quickly stop him!!”
After blocking Ye Feixing’s spear thrust, Zhang Peng retreated clumsily while rapidly commanding his shield-axemen to deal with this raiding squad.
The shield-axemen, upon receiving the order, simultaneously swung the stone axes in their hands towards Ye Feixing.
Facing such an array, Ye Feixing, having missed his strike, exerted force with both arms.
While forcefully pulling his spear out of the shield’s surface, he gave a shake of his arms, abruptly flicking the spearhead.
The resilient spear shaft immediately swung into an arc, and using this arc, it almost simultaneously struck the two shield-axemen who were rushing at the very front.
This swift and fierce attack, the moment it struck, almost flayed their skin, easily forcing those two back.
Ye Feixing seized the opportunity, not lingering in combat, and decisively withdrew!
After retreating two steps, the raiding force charging up right behind him also completely clashed with Zhang Peng’s troops, then formed a pincer movement from the front and back with the shield-axemen unit on the other side
