People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 168 The troops are approaching the city

Marauder riders travel through the woods.

This forest is neither big nor small.

They sometimes serve as the outer barrier of Ironwind Keep, and sometimes serve as an ambush site for the Kazag War Gang.

The world outside Changyuan is not completely chaotic and disordered.

Kurgans, Norsemen, Huns, followers of evil gods, and even Chaos Dwarves from further west will also appear in the eastern grasslands.

Various forms of slave trade and arms transactions were common in the eastern grasslands.

Once they don't want to pay, the Kazag War Gang will stage a robbery and kill the opponent's caravan.

For this group of riders from Ironwind Castle, this forest is even more familiar to them than their home.

"Strange smell..."

"so quiet……"

As soon as several riders stepped into the woods, they sensed an inexplicable smell in the air, as if there were wild beasts lurking in the trees.

This made the leading raider rider frown and subconsciously tighten his hand around the javelin hanging on his horse.

His long-standing vigilance made him begin to pay attention to dangers higher up the tree trunks, which might come from the treetops.

Only in this way can you live longer in this evil world.

but……

As he looked up into the dense canopy of trees, a man's whisper rang in his ears.

“Very alert.”

puff--

Before he could react, the world in front of him suddenly spun around, and his companion let out a brief roar: "There's an enemy..."

call out--

The rapid crossbow arrow cut through the air and shot the rider in the throat before he could even roar.

Zhao Song jumped down from the tree canopy with a posture as light as a flying bird.

He holds a knife in his left hand and a light crossbow in his right hand.

Zhao Song pulled the trigger continuously without losing his accuracy, and shot mercilessly into the foreheads or throats of the Predator riders.

In just a breath, the six-man team died on the spot.

"Sure enough, sneak attacks are easier."

After landing, Zhao Song sighed as he switched the knife to his right hand and walked to the first Norseman to fall.

"Sorry, Shadow Raven Guard takes no prisoners alive."

Seeing the latter begging for mercy, Zhao Song acted without any hesitation and killed the latter with one stroke of the knife.

At the same time, there was a slight commotion in the woods in the distance, but it soon returned to calm.

A sound similar to bird singing rang out continuously. Zhao Song nodded slightly and calmly put away his knife.

This is a signal for internal communication among the Shadow Raven Guard, indicating that the mission has been successful.

"Now that the eyes have been ruled out, it's your turn..."

Then, Zhao Song put his thumb and index finger into his mouth, and a loud bird song echoed throughout the woods.

Somewhere in the woods.

"It's Zhao Song's signal..." Zu Ju straightened up upon hearing the voice and looked at Wei Junxiu who had a calm expression.

"According to the plan." Wei Junxiu said lightly.

Liu Li and Jiang Yuan exchanged glances and said in unison: "Yes, sir!"

"Set out immediately to attack Iron Wind Fort!"

"Yes!"

As Liu Li and Jiang Yuan left, a thousand Yongchang soldiers slowly walked out of their hiding place.

They began to march quickly along the road, running towards Iron Wind Fort with an impatient look.

"After Liu Li and Jiang Yuan took away a thousand people, we only had less than three thousand ambushes left..."

"Three thousand people are enough. Once the ambush is successful and the enemy is thrown into chaos, it will be difficult for them to see our true strength..."

"That's good..."

Wei Junxiu and Zu Ju stood side by side, talking in low voices.

They did not mobilize the entire Yongchang Army.

Instead, he left behind a thousand men to guard the camp and to look after the thousand Norsemen of the End Warband.

Although An Luming expressed their absolute loyalty, Wei Junxiu would never take the risk because people’s hearts are hidden.

Three thousand men were lying in ambush deep in the woods, arrayed in a long snake formation.

Wei Junxiu planned to expand the encirclement as much as possible, waiting for the other party to enter and swallow them up in one gulp.

Of course, success or failure depends on Liu Li and Jiang Yuan.

They must "fail" just right to ensure that they can lure enough enemies.

“I hope they’ll be OK.”

Zu Ju pursed her lips and looked in the direction where the two people left, and spoke lightly.

the other side.

In less than half an hour, Liu Li led a thousand people through the woods and arrived at the edge of Iron Wind Fort's sight.

Looking at this fortress made of stones and wood, he and Jiang Yuan both showed solemn expressions.

"Jiang Yuan, you don't have to worry about my safety." Liu Li looked at Jiang Yuan, "Just make sure the team doesn't break up while you're running."

"no problem."

Jiang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

It was Liu Li who took the initiative to propose the cooperation between the two. His reason was that once he started fighting, it would be difficult for him to take care of the overall situation, so one of his followers had to supervise and command everyone to retreat in an orderly manner.

Wei Junxiu is the commander-in-chief, so he naturally cannot do such a thing.

As a soldier, it is more appropriate for Zu Ju to stay with Wei Junxiu.

Therefore, the only one who could take on this job was Jiang Yuan.

"We are facing a powerful enemy, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes. The brothers are counting on you, Lao Jiang."

Zhao Song chuckled, rode his horse to Jiang Yuan and patted his shoulder hard.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Li to suddenly do such a thing.

Although they couldn't be said to dislike each other, he did make sarcastic remarks to Liu Li...

I thought Liu Li was just being polite.

But seeing the sincerity in the latter's eyes and the smile on his lips, Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is a matter of great importance. I will do my best. Captain Liu, please be careful and stay safe."

"Don't worry, I won't die. The important thing is that you brothers don't get chased and killed when you retreat."

"No problem, leave it to me."

While the two were communicating, Tiefeng Fort in the distance also discovered the whereabouts of this army.

The alarm bells were sounded quickly, and soon a large number of looters walked up to the wooden city walls, looking curiously at this well-armored and well-bellied army.

"The Aurora army has arrived?"

Moxia stood up from the main seat with a surprised expression and walked quickly towards the city wall. "How many people are here? Do you have any siege equipment?"

"Lord Moxia, there are only about a thousand people on the other side, and it seems that they are just here to explore the way!"

"Exploring the way?"

As he was speaking, Moxia had already arrived on the city wall.

He looked and saw an orderly army marching towards Iron Wind Fort.

"Stop! Form a formation!"

A command as loud as a bell came from the enemy's army.

A thousand people marching in unison stepped heavily, and the mighty force of moving mountains and filling the sea was overwhelming.

"Jiang Yuan, use the double horizontal formation!"

"Row!"

Subsequently, the Yongchang army began to move in groups.

The ten square formations of one hundred men separated themselves under the leadership of their respective centurions and were divided into two rows of five.

Liu Li and Jiang Yuan stood in front of the entire formation.

"Moksia..."

Liu Li stared at the burly figure on the city wall from a distance, "You'd better not keep me waiting for too long..."
