Chapter 1003: Fickle’s Might (2)
“Fast attack!” commanded the captain of the first wave of people who boarded the wall.
The troops quickly shuttled across, turning the enemies in their paths into corpses before they could even react. The four walls were quickly breached, but the next actions of the four teams that captured them went differently.
Except for Tan Xin’s team who continued to aggressively attack, the other three sides arranged troops to change into the Sacks soldiers’ clothes and feigned keeping watch on the walls, while the rest snuck into the fortress while Tan Xin attracted their attention.
“Don’t engage! Fight as you move along the east of the fortress!”
Tan Xin entered from the north side of the fortress while Ye Qingtong entered from the east. The former carried out head-on attacks while the latter sneak attacked, quietly swallowing any small teams they came across!
However, against the tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress, Tan Xin’s group of 100-odd were pitifully few and their situation was quickly exposed under the continuous probing of the Sacks.
“The invaders are only a small team! Besiege and annihilate!”
Once the Sacks came around, they advanced orderly and narrowed the activity scope of Tan Xin’s group little by little.
“Deputy Tan, they’ve responded. We can’t delay any longer.” Tan Xin’s teammates learned of the Sacks’ reaction before they were completely surrounded. While the situation was not optimistic, it was still within control –
Because their goal had been achieved!
“Stop fighting and move toward the east!” shouted Tan Xin.
The team immediately acted as per her order. At the same time, Ye Qingtong saw the signal sent by Tan Xin.
“Get ready to coordinate with Deputy Tan, they are coming!” Ye Qingtong immediately stopped their sneak-attack operation as her team had basically figured out the situation inside the fortress.
On the way to meet Tan Xin’s team, Ye Qingtong came across her only obstacle – a small army of nearly a thousand people!
“Inform Deputy Tan about the number and position of the target,” ordered Ye Qingtong.
Immediately, the signalman climbed up on the wall and played an intricate whistle, sending out an owl-like noise.
“Stop! Stand by and get ready to meet the enemy! Deputy Ye is already in place! In a while, we will each fight our own. The priority is staying alive!”
After receiving the signal, Tan Xin calculated the distance before decisively ordering her team to stop. They quickly dispersed to the surrounding buildings in groups of three.
Not long after Tan Xin’s team got ready, the small squad of a thousand Sacks soldiers appeared. Despite being in their own territory, they were being even more careful than the Fickle group. However, sometimes, being careful was useless…
Small arrows shot out from every tricky angle, and none was wasted as over a hundred Sacks soldiers collapsed!
However, this also exposed the Fickle soldier’s positions. The Sacks immediately got into formation and headed towards those locations. But to their surprise, the other party went completely silent after the first wave of attacks.
Facing the advancing Sack soldiers who had their shields up, arrows were no longer effective. Instead, the silence could actually impose tremendous pressure on them!
Analyzing the opposing party’s psychological state was the biggest lesson that Bai Xiaofei had taught the Fickle Army, which even physical fitness and fighting skills came second to!
“KILL!”
Battle cries echoed as soon as the front row of Sacks soldiers entered the Fickle team’s attack range. The next second, they rushed out with their blades raised high and hacked down at the enemies. And this was only the beginning. After cutting down the first row, they proceeded to use various strange-looking attack methods to insta-kill the targets!
Meanwhile, their battle cries also served as a signal for Ye Qingtong’s group who had been lying in wait behind the Sacks squad.
Similarly, the spring-loaded arrows were shot first and reaped the lives of a large number of Sacks soldiers at the rear. A short while later, Ye Qingtong led her team directly into the enemy, executing Bai Xiaofei’s surprise-attack lesson to perfection!
