On February 1st of the first year of Gaia, it is cloudy, and it is advisable to pray for blessings and migrate, but avoid traveling and writing books.
At dawn, three members of the cavalry set off from the barracks and headed straight for the sentry tower outside the village. The Construction Department built three watchtowers in the territory, each two kilometers apart.
Due to limited manpower, each sentry tower was assigned a soldier to be stationed. Their task is to keep an eye on the herd's movements and remind the base camp with wolf smoke.
At the same time, under the command of Lin Yi, the first fire, third fire and fifth fire of the crossbow cavalry set off from the west side gate and headed for the primary mining field in the south of the territory. The mining site is located on the edge of the forest to the west, only 300 meters away from the forest.
According to the terrain characteristics of Shanhai Village, the south of the village is at the foot of the rocky mountain range, and there will be no wild animals. Not far from the east side, there are wide rivers and canyons. There will only be sporadic beasts in and out, so it is not a concern.
Therefore, the main directions for the herd to appear are the woods to the west and the wilderness to the north. Among them, the forest on the west side is the key object of defense. In the woods, there are a lot of beasts living. There, it was also the main leveling place of the former militia.
According to such topographic features, Ouyang Shuo, the commander of the second fire, was at the north gate, and Shi Wansui, the commander of the fourth fire, was at the west gate. As for the east side gate, Ouyang Shuo entrusted Lin Yi's elder brother, senior martial artist Lin Yue to lead 20 villagers who had learned martial arts in the martial arts hall to guard it.
In order to strengthen the defense of the west gate, the construction department built two arrow towers on both sides of the west gate. The most critical fire array was arranged in the open space in front of the west door.
The entire fiery formation is a square with a side length of 100 meters, and the four sides of the square are dug into ditches with a width of 2 meters and a depth of 0.2 meters. The ditch is filled with fire oil diluted with water, and then covered with wooden boards, and the wooden boards are covered with hay. From the surface, there is no trace of the raging flames.
The remaining fire oil was arranged in the open space in front of the north gate. Because the north gate adopts a passive defense strategy, there is only one 200-meter-long ditch, which is also poured with fire oil diluted with water, covered with planks, and spread with hay.
In the entire Shanhai Village, except for the members of the crossbow cavalry, no one went out. The ferry, shipyard, wharf, Beimu saltworks, logging field, quarry, and mining field all stopped operating outside the village. This time the monster siege was aimed at the village itself. These crazy herds are about to destroy all the villages established in the wilderness. As for the industries outside the village, they don't care.
According to the national defense strategy proposed by Gu Xiuwen, Ouyang Shuo formed two large militia reserve teams. All members of the militia reserve, after the assault training of the crossbow cavalry, have all been able to throw javelins proficiently.
The militia reserve team consisted of a total of 120 people. Zhao Dexian, director of the Agricultural Reclamation Department, served as the temporary captain, and Zheng Shanpao, the director of the quarry, served as the temporary deputy captain. Stationed at the west gate, responsible for the defense of the west. The second militia reserve team has a total of 100 people. Zhao Dewang, the deputy director of the construction department, is the temporary captain, and Yuan Shaoping, the director of the mining field, is the temporary deputy captain. Stationed at the North Gate, responsible for the defense of the north.
All the rest, except the old and the weak, women and children, were all included in the Wartime Logistics Agency. The entire Wartime Logistics Agency has nearly 200 people, and Cui Yingyou, the director of the Material Reserve Department, is the temporary director.
The Logistics Agency is further divided into four groups. They are the medical rescue team, led by a senior doctor, Dr. Song, with his four apprentices and 20 women, responsible for the treatment of the wounded. The material handling team has 60 people in total, headed by Zhao Youfang, the director of the logging camp, who is responsible for the handling of javelins and arrows. The collection team consisted of 80 people, with senior tailor Mu Qingsi as the team leader, responsible for the collection of wild animal carcasses and furs. The cooking team consists of 20 people, headed by senior chef Gu Sanniang, who is responsible for the supply of food and drinking water for everyone.
In this way, the human resources of Shanhai Village were almost maximized. In Ouyang Shuo's thinking, wars are about organization and logistics. Only the establishment of a perfect and efficient organizational leadership system, coupled with a scientific and reasonable logistics support system, is the key to victory in the war.
At 7:30 in the morning, all the villagers in Shanhai Village went to their respective posts under the leadership of their captains after breakfast.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower on the left side of the north gate, and next to him stood San Gouzi, the second commander of the cavalry.
"My lord, when will the herd appear?" San Gouzi asked.
"It's coming, at most half an hour, they will appear on the edge of the territory."
At eight o'clock in the morning, a system announcement sounded on time!
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission—Monster Siege, Officially Opened! The Regional Ranking List, National Ranking List, and World Ranking List will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords the best of luck!"
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission—Monster Siege, Officially Opened! The Regional Ranking List, National Ranking List, and World Ranking List will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords the best of luck!"
"World Announcement: Mandatory Global Territory Defense Mission—Monster Siege, Officially Opened! The Regional Ranking List, National Ranking List, and World Ranking List will be opened at the same time. I wish all the lords the best of luck!"
In less than a minute, smoke billowed from the sentry tower in the distance.
At the edge of the territory that Ouyang Shuo couldn't see, thousands of wild dogs, led by the King of Wild Dogs, rushed out of the forest and headed towards Shanhai Village.
Wild dogs belong to level 3 beasts, and they are also one of the most numerous beasts in the wilderness. The elite wild dog level will be raised to level 5, and the wild dog king is a level 8 boss.
The menacing group of wild dogs had just stepped into the territory of Shanhai Village when they were hit head-on. Countless invisible traps were stepped on by reckless wild dogs. Each trap pit is three meters long, one meter wide, and fully three meters deep. The bottom of the pit is filled with sharp wooden wedges. The dense formation made the wild dogs suffer a lot. Often a trap pit can bury four or five wild dogs.
The road from the edge of the territory to the village is simply a history of blood and tears for the wild dog population. They are completely using their flesh and blood to forcefully fill in the traps they encounter along the way.
When they finally saw the gate of Shanhai Village, there were less than half of the nearly two thousand wild dogs left. Fortunately, none of the wild dogs thought of running away along the way. This shows how deep their resentment towards the human lord is.
Four hundred meters away from Shanhai Village, the surviving group of wild dogs split into two groups, rushing towards the north gate and the west gate respectively. As Ouyang Shuo expected, the main force of the wild dog group, led by the wild dog king, went straight to the west door. The remaining about 300 wild dogs, led by the elite wild dogs, made a detour and rushed towards the north gate.
Under the fence of the north gate, members of the second militia reserve team, led by Zhao Dewang, stood in a line, waiting for the order to attack. There are piles of javelins piled up under each team member's feet.
Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower, watching the pack of wild dogs approaching slowly. When the wild dogs were only 150 meters away from the fence, he bent his bow and shot an arrow without hesitation, and shot directly at an elite wild dog. His action was the starting gun, and the members of the cavalry on the arrow towers on both sides bent their bows and set up arrows one after another, aiming at the elite wild dog, and it was a round of vigorous shots.
After a round of shooting, the elite wild dog was almost completely damaged. After shooting the first arrow, Ouyang Shuo didn't shoot again, but stared at the wild dogs closely, calculating the distance they traveled.
When the wild dogs were only sixty meters away from the fence, he waved the command flag in his hand without hesitation. Zhao Dewang below kept staring at Ouyang Shuo, and when he saw him waving the command flag, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Vote!"
The team members immediately said the javelin in their hands without hesitation and threw it forward. After throwing the javelin, he immediately turned around and picked up the second javelin from the ground, and threw it again without hesitation. Repeatedly projecting in this way, within a short distance of 60 meters, the group of wild dogs suffered three rounds of javelin attacks, almost killing them all.
At this time, the cavalry of the second fire, led by San Gouzi, rushed out of the north gate on horseback, and slashed at the surviving wild dogs. In less than ten minutes, all the wild dogs in the north were wiped out.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo heard system announcements.
"Regional Announcement: Xiaogang Village in the Liuzhou Region failed to withstand the attack of the herd of beasts, and Shenzhou will be removed!"
…
"Regional Announcement: Fugui Village in Lianzhou District failed to withstand the attack of the herd of beasts, and Shenzhou will be removed!"
…
"Regional Announcement: Lushui Village in Guilin Region failed to withstand the attack of the herd of beasts, and Shenzhou will be expelled!"
…
This was the first wave of herd attacks. Many villages failed to resist, were breached by the herd of beasts, and their territories were delisted. After these players are resurrected and reincarnated, they can only choose the personal adventure mode to continue their game career, and the lord mode has completely missed them.
There is no time to lament the fate of others. Ouyang Shuo ordered the logistics department to collect the wild dog corpses outside as soon as possible, and recover the thrown javelins as much as possible. After that, he rushed to the west door alone to see what was going on there.
By the time he arrived at the west gate, the battle here was coming to an end. There were nearly 700 wild dogs attacking the west gate, and it was mainly due to the cavalry ambushing in the mining field that they were able to be wiped out so quickly.
After they received the beacon signal from the sentry tower, they waited until the pack of wild dogs was about to surround the west gate. Suddenly came out from behind the group of wild dogs, and a cavalry team of thirty men, led by Lin Yi as an arrow, divided and surrounded the group of wild dogs. Only by cooperating with the inside and outside, the wild dogs were wiped out.
The wild dog king was beheaded by Shi Wansui, and a booklet was dropped. Ouyang Shuo took it from Shi Wansui's hand and looked at it. It was a "Colorful Silkworm Breeding Technique Manual". Stuff is a good thing, but it's a pity that he doesn't have mulberry leaves, let alone silkworm eggs, so it's hard to use it in a short time.
After this wave of attacks, Ouyang Shuo's level was raised to level 22, just like riding a rocket. You know, after the level exceeds level 20, it is even more difficult to improve.
Seeing that the west door was intact, Ouyang Shuo felt relieved. Leave the west door, and then turn around the east door. There were only 30 wild dogs attacking at the east gate, so Lin Yue naturally had no pressure and solved it with ease.
After inspecting the east and west gates, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to delay, and immediately returned to the north gate. According to his prediction, the second wave of beast tide will come soon.
