Chapter 24: The Battle of Black Cloud Fortress Once Again

  At night, Yang Tian brought back 352 new surrendered villagers, including 10 A-level qualifications, 23 B-level qualifications, and also an S-level NPC. The population of Baiyun Village has now become 2432/100, and continue to bring all 34 NPCs to the military camp to transfer them into soldiers.

  For those horned horses, Yang Tian absolutely did not intend to give up. He now had an idea, which was to create a high-level martial general team, specifically used to capture these horned horses. At the same time, also preparing for the dangers after upgrading the territory.

  Now White Cloud Village has a high-level military camp, with 12 general transfer quotas. Yang Tian plans to use up all the general quotas in his hand. The objects of implementation, in addition to S-level NPC Chen Kui who just got it today, also include 8 A-level qualified NPCs who were transferred to soldiers last night.

  But these people's job transfer will probably have to wait until tomorrow night, the soldiers who just transferred yesterday were only leveling up this afternoon and are now only level 3 or 4, and as for Chen Kui, don't even mention it, a brand new recruit!

  As for becoming a senior martial general, I estimate it can't be done in less than four or five days.

  Four or five days is still within Yang Tian's acceptable waiting time.

  Yang Tian was about to go offline when Wang Lao suddenly ran over with an excited face, saying: "Master! Just now, another novice shipbuilder has joined our White Cloud Village, and it's an A-level qualification. I've already arranged for people to start building a novice dock, so we can produce 6 more novice fishing boats every day, which will also alleviate the food crisis in the territory."

  "It's just a primary dock!" Yang Tian was used to intermediate docks and wasn't too enthusiastic about primary docks. But this thing can't be forced, it can only be said that it's better than nothing!

  Old Wang naturally saw Yang Tian's worry, sighed and said: "The master doesn't have to be anxious, when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way! Now our village already has 70 mid-level fishing boats, and in the future, we can increase 12 mid-level fishing boats and 6 primary fishing boats every day. As long as the population of our village does not increase greatly again, after seven or eight days, we can completely support our villagers just by fishing."

  Yang Tian sighed and said, "If we can't have a large population, it's impossible to upgrade our territory in a short period of time because we don't have the strength to face multiple threats from several large mid-level camps at the same time. Therefore, increasing the population is urgent. As for the food crisis, we need to think of another way! The remaining wild fruits in the wilderness are enough for 2000 people to use for five days, and our village now has nearly 1500 people relying on wild fruits for survival, which can't be saved by just saving a little, it's just unknown whether Tianhe Village has surplus grain, we also forgot to ask about this today! ... If all else fails, the only option is to attack the human-shaped monster's mid-level camp. Such camps are absolutely rich in resources during the pioneering period."

  Wang Lao thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency! Why not do it this way? You can still recruit and surrender the bandits every day, but don't bring them back to the village. Wait until the food shortage is basically alleviated, and then bringing these people back won't be too late!"

  "Although what Wang Lao said makes sense, it's easy to encounter problems. The loyalty of these newly surrendered bandits is too low, if we let them stay in the bandit camp for too long, I estimate they will rebel again. I can only guarantee that they won't escape within a day. Once an escape occurs, our plan will be completely exposed to the enemy, which is not worth it. Moreover, even if they don't betray us, once we accumulate 10,000 people, the enemy will still discover the problem." Yang Tian explained.

  Wang Lao was silent...

  The next morning, Yang Tian's primary internal skill level finally rose again. In the real world, he can now clearly feel the inner force circulating within his body! However, to make it work in actual combat, there is still a long way to go.

  But thinking that someone who started learning basic internal skills a few days later than him has already reached the fifth stage, Yang Tian couldn't help but sigh that the world is unfair. Why didn't he have such good luck to have SSS-level qualifications?

  Back in the game, Yang Tian suddenly remembered that it had been seven or eight days since they attacked Hei Yun Village, and it was probably refreshed by now! Moreover, he now had over 200 people, so for a small mountain village like this with only over 300 people, he should still be able to take it down.

  After thinking about it, Yang Tian also started preparing. Based on the experience of last time, this kind of ambush will also have archers, but the proportion is not very large, so in order to minimize losses, all his men must bring wooden bows and try to eliminate the enemy's effective strength before the head-on battle. As for the enemy's archers, they were left to be dealt with by two generals on their side. Although it was a bit shameless, it was undoubtedly very effective in small-scale battles.

  All the soldiers who had reached the fourth level of martial arts, nearly 200 people, stood at the village entrance, ready to depart. As for the bandit camp, Yang Tian still left the Great Ox here, and the number of people in the bandit camp generally remained around 8,000. If they didn't attack today, it was estimated that they would come tomorrow, which was very dangerous.

  Yang Tian rode the only war horse, also in order to wait for the battle to end on the other side and hurry back to surrender the bandits.

  After entrusting everything to the senior, the large team set off.

  This time, we didn't have to run around like headless flies like last time. In less than three hours, the whole team had already arrived near the mountain stronghold.

  This mountain stronghold looks no different from several days ago.

  Yang Tian said to Sun Ming, who was already a mid-level martial general following him: "In a moment, you first use your bow and arrow to kill those two guys on the watchtower. In a moment, when the other side rushes out, you prioritize attacking their archers... Wu Ma! You lead all the soldiers to form a battle array, let the sixth-grade soldiers stand in the front row, and the rest of the troops stand behind. When the time comes, you look at the situation and command them to attack on your own!"

  "Yes, milord!" The two replied in unison.

  Hei Wu Ma adjusted his formation, Yang Tian Yi made a hand gesture, and Sun Ming immediately nocked two iron arrows, taking aim at the two people on the watchtower...

  "Ah!……" Only to hear the two men's miserable cries, the two archers who were on guard clutched their chests, with an iron arrow suddenly inserted into them. Sun Ming was only a mid-level martial general, and his various martial skills still had a big gap compared to Da Niu, so he couldn't achieve the feat of "one arrow, one duke"!

  The miserable cries of those two people woke up everyone in the whole mountain village!

  "Enemy attack! Quick!......Get the weapons......" The whole mountain stronghold began to make a loud noise.

  Because they were unclear about the situation outside, those people did not rush out immediately, but instead gathered inside first. Even the two armed guards at the entrance retreated.

  Yang Tian quietly waited outside for the other party to come out. But after a long time, there was no reaction from inside at all.

  It seems that this time's leader is much smarter than Wuma, probably not a wise and martial general but a commanding type, guarding the tree and waiting for the rabbit won't work.

  Even if the opponent is now planning to defend against the wall, Yang Tian is not worried. This is just a fence, and archers cannot stand on it, so the defender does not have a shooting range bonus. And Yang Tian still has a large number of 5th and 6th rank soldiers who are good at both near and far distances, with a shooting range that is 10% or 20% farther than the 4th rank soldiers. This low fence cannot block the throwing of arrows. The gaps in the fence also allow people outside to see everything inside clearly, so there's no need to worry about the opponent playing any tricks.
