Chapter 1687 - 1688: Pray for Me
Xiao Xuanya looked at Shui Rou, who remained calm in the face of danger and directed confidently, and secretly admired her in her heart.
She suddenly felt that the women around Yang Fei were all extraordinary.
Boom!
The tanks fired shells at Li Wang Town once again.
The shells, trailing long flames, landed on the newly repaired fortifications, explosively detonating and sending shockwaves surging.
Xiao Xuanya lunged forward like a female Leopard, pressing Shui Rou beneath her.
Shui Rou, however, disregarded everything and poked her head out from under Xiao Xuanya, shouting loudly.
"Demolition Team 04, prepare for demolition!"
Not far away, the tanks roared, crushing the bluestone-paved streets, heading this way.
The enemy's fourth assault began again, and the fierce battle commenced!
About twenty kilometers away from Li Wang Town, in a lush palm grove.
In the depths of the dense forest, there was a makeshift military tent.
Kimura Kougen and the heads of the Seven Great War God Families were in the tent, holding a meeting.
The Eight Gates Ninja had suffered successive defeats, and Kimura Kougen, representing the War God Family, took on this sniping task.
This time, the Eight Great War God Families were all present.
The heads of the families would lead their most elite family members into the battlefield.
Kimura Kougen pointed at the map, his voice deep and solemn.
"This battle will be the most important one for our Eight Great War God Families."
"Whether we can enter the vision of the big shots in the Military Department depends on this one effort, everyone must go all out."
He said, glancing at his watch, and continued.
"If our intelligence is accurate, the enemy should have already reached the Sentry Station."
"The area from the Sentry Station to here is all dense palm groves, which is conducive to jungle warfare."
"We'll choose this place as the optimal battlefield and fight them to the death."
The crowd roared in approval.
The Head of the Herudan Family stood up and said coldly.
"My Herudan Family will take the lead, and we will join forces with the sentries at the Sentry Station for an effective blockade. Everyone, pray for me."
Under the admiring gaze of everyone, the Head of the Herudan Family turned and walked out of the tent.
The head of the Asou family stood up, speaking in a very serious tone.
"In that case, according to the plan, my Asou family will cover the Herudan Family as the second echelon, excuse me."
He said, turning and leaving without looking back.
The Nakai Family Head also stood up, cupped his hands to Kimura Kougen, and bowed deeply to each family head present, then left the scene.
According to the task, the Nakai Family would snipe the enemy after the Asou family.
After the Nakai Family Head left, the other family heads of the War God Alliance also stood up one after another and left.
Kimura Kougen watched as these War God veteran family heads, averaging over 50 years old, set out, and heaved a long sigh.
This plan was devised by him, named "Cage."
If the opponent was too strong to defeat, the War God Families had to set up layer upon layer of ambush according to this method.
When the enemy's combat strength is exhausted, everyone would band together to attack, to finally annihilate this fearsome ace team.
However, Kimura Kougen still had no certainty.
The opponent was too powerful, and even with a perfect plan, he was not sure if it could trap them.
Kimura Mukihara pondered deeply, sighing heavily in his heart.
Then, he clenched his teeth and tightened his fists.
"It can be done, even if it means a jade-destroying battle, we must kill that Big Beard, who is the soul figure of this team."
Yang Fei led a group of Evil Dragon Soldier Kings, marching swiftly towards Li Wang Town.
Yang Fei had already received news that the defense line of Li Wang Town had been breached, and the situation was extremely precarious.
The Red Shirt Army was heroically engaged in street fighting with the enemy.
The enemy forces were increasing in number, and if Yang Fei did not provide timely assistance, the fall of Li Wang Town was only a matter of time.
However, rescuing Li Wang Town was also a headache.
After all, the Evil Dragon Squad consisted of only about a dozen people.
No matter how much each could fight like ten, it only amounted to a hundred plus people.
With such limited strength, trying to eliminate an entire regiment of troops besieging Li Wang Town would be a stretch, even for a Daluo Golden Immortal.
As Yang Fei walked, thoughts spun around in his mind like a lantern carousel.
At this moment, a warning came through the public communication channel from Three Swords.
"Chief Instructor, there's a sentry station a kilometer ahead, currently with a large increase in troops, blocking the road. What should we do?"
Yang Fei's heart sank, then he coldly asked, "How many are at the sentry?"
Three Swords quickly provided the answer: "Over fifty people."
Yang Fei sneered, "If they dare to stop us, just kill our way through."
Three Swords immediately provided additional information.
"Instructor, I've spotted people from the Eight Great War God Families heading towards the sentry station. Should we wait?"
Yang Fei rolled his eyes:
"Wait for what? For the devils to catch up and wrap us up like dumplings?"
Three Swords fell silent.
Yang Fei explained the situation on the public communication channel and issued orders.
"Increase speed, march faster, in a narrow path, the brave shall prevail. I want to see how many moves this bunch can block from us."
The sentry station was 22 kilometers away from Li Wang Town.
The sentry station was very rudimentary, usually only manned by two people.
If not for the search for the Red Shirt Army, this sentry would have been withdrawn long ago.
But now, the sentry had been strengthened to a squad, about 50 people.
At this moment, the sentry station was bustling.
One by one, refugees fleeing from near Li Wang Town had to be inspected here before fleeing to safer places.
Only by passing the check here could they get a temporary stay permit in Xijing, instead of being thrown into jail.
The sentry was temporarily increased, with many shelters set up on both sides of the road.
Armed soldiers shouted loudly as they herded the crowd into lines for inspection, one by one.
These soldiers were not the official People of Sang Country Army.
Yet, in the eyes of the locals, they were more terrifying and lawless than the official army of the People of Sang Country.
The battle of Li Wang Town had already started, and these fleeing crowds came from villages near Li Wang Town.
The Eight Gates Ninja's secret slaughter of commoners, though well-hidden,
some vague news seemed to spread like wings into the hearts of many people.
This scared many people to death, causing them to flee towards Xijing frantically.
In essence, the commoners of Li Island did not consider themselves as part of the People of Sang Country.
The laws of the People of Sang Country never protected them, but in times of disaster, they instinctively fled to Xijing.
In the hearts of the Eight Gates Ninja, these lowly subjugated people were no different from slaves.
A pack of hungry wolves guarded the sentry, allowing the sheep to pass through.
Even with little thought, one could imagine how terrifying this scene was.
Even to the most oblivious, seeing the seven or eight fallen civilians beside the sentry station would make it clear.
This was a group of unbelievably cruel beasts!
No ID, execution; speaking out of turn, execution; possession of contraband, execution...
Everything meant execution!
At that moment, Yang Fei, leading the Evil Dragon Soldier Kings, finally reached the sentry station.
The sentry station was right at the intersection.
A narrow path winding forward, flanked by fully armed soldiers.
Three or four large military dogs, held by soldiers with chains, barked wildly at the passing commoners.
They bared sharp teeth, instilling fear.
