Chapter 83 The invasion trial begins

In the forest at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, a dazzling light suddenly appeared all around.

After a long time, the white light disappeared and was replaced by a densely formed army.

Densely packed black figures occupied the large forest.

"In the mountains and forests?" Zhao Ye shook his head to get rid of the dizziness caused by the cross-world teleportation in his mind.

After waking up, he immediately began to observe the surrounding situation. When he saw that this was a mountain forest, his face suddenly burst into laughter.

According to the previous rules of the system, the attacker in the invasion battle will be teleported from this world to the target world, around the player settlement.

And his army has been surviving and fighting in the mountains and forests for a long time. It can be said that the mountains and forests are his home field.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh that he was very lucky today.

First, they randomly arrived at the invasion battle for the newbie trial, and then the other party's settlement turned out to be in the mountains and forests.

If the terrain is too different from the terrain where the arms have been operating for a long time, then the original strength may not be half as effective.

But if the terrain is the same as the terrain where the arms have been fighting for a long time, then the arms can be able to display 100% of their strength.

Zhao Ye's world was approaching autumn at this time. He estimated that after fighting this invasion war, he would just go back to harvest.

The season here is extremely cold in winter, which the system had already warned before the invasion.

Therefore, he asked his soldiers to wear an extra layer of animal skin coats in advance.

This is also the system's purpose to prevent unfair natural interference caused by the huge difference in weather between the two worlds.

"Search around, the other party's settlement must be nearby." Zhao Ye looked around and immediately ordered his men to take action.

In this invasion, he gritted his teeth and brought over nearly 70% of his family wealth.

Among these four hundred soldiers, there were two hundred spearmen, one hundred sword and shield soldiers, fifty archers, and fifty spear throwers.

Among them, two hundred spearmen were equipped with leather armor and bone spears, and one hundred sword and shield soldiers were equipped with leather armor, wooden shields and bone swords.

Of course, Zhao Ye actually wanted to equip a bone knife, but it was too laborious to grind weapons made of animal bones. You also need to choose animal bones with the right shape. Among them, only swords are the best to grind and are suitable for grinding into knives. Animal bones are very rare.

Although it is said to be a bone sword, most of it is more like "bone spurs". The blades on both sides cannot be used to chop at all, and it is more suitable to stab with the tip.

Only a small number of bone swords have two blades capable of cutting.

All in all, the quality of this batch of bone swords is very poor.

The fifty archers were only equipped with a simple wooden bow and more than thirty wooden arrows.

Due to the high cost of materials, skills, and time required to make a bow, it is very difficult to make a powerful bow.

Simple wooden bows like this have a short service life and a range of only a few dozen meters. They can be used for hunting or shooting enemies at a slightly closer range.

But the main thing is that it is cheap and easy to make.

If it weren't for the fact that the range was more than 20 meters farther than that of a throwing gun, and that it was cheaper and less labor intensive than a throwing gun, Zhao Ye would have eliminated it long ago.

The simple wooden bow is in a very awkward position against the enemy. It is okay to occasionally cover it with a few rounds of arrow rain to suppress the opponent's morale.

In terms of power, as long as someone wears a suit of leather armor, it is almost impossible to be fatal.

The remaining fifty spear throwers were equipped with wooden spears nearly two meters long, each carrying more than a dozen.

Spear throwers are experts at hunting in the forest. They are very good in both hunting and attacking enemies.

"Chief! Chief! There's a situation in the east!"

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the east direction.

Zhao Ye followed the sound and saw a dozen soldiers holding wooden shields and holding bone swords running towards them from not far away from the east side of the mountain forest.

One of the leaders hurriedly ran to Zhao Ye's side and began to report: "Report to the leader, a group of people was found in the east, the number is estimated to be more than thirty, and they are carrying things on their backs!"

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "This must be the collection team of the other party. If we capture this team, we can ask them about the location of the other party's settlement!"

He held the bone knife, which was very rare in the tribe, and began to order his men to lead the way while waving it.

He did not dispatch all the four hundred men, but only brought fifty sword and shield soldiers, twenty spearmen, and twenty archers.

If there are too many people, if the opponent discovers them during the battle and suddenly launches a sneak attack on them, the gain will outweigh the losses.

Although Zhao Ye is here to bully Mengxin, he still needs to be cautious.

His main approach is to combine Lao Yin Bi with Wannian Lao Liu.

...

In the mountain forest, more than 30 people slowly climbed towards the road to the top of the mountain carrying baskets of coal.

They were residents of Coal City, more than 20 of the more than 30 people were ordinary people, and the remaining 10 or so were members of the militia, equipped with stone knives or wooden spears.

If you encounter any wild beasts on the road, you won't be passive.

Their team is responsible for transporting coal and stone for winter to Panshan City, basically every three to five days.

"Everyone, speed up. We will try to deliver the coal to Panshan City as soon as possible and return before dark."

The squad leader of a dozen militiamen shouted.

"Captain, although there is nothing wrong with being careful, we have sent them so many times and we haven't even encountered a single beast. They are probably hibernating, right? Let me tell you guys to rest, your calves are sore."

A young militia member complained.

"It's different today. City Lord You has given orders to expedite the delivery of this batch of coal. There will be no need to deliver it for the next fifteen days, but if it is to be delivered as soon as possible, we must return as soon as possible."

The militia captain sighed and then explained helplessly.

"It doesn't matter if you take a rest..."

The young team member wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly there was a slight sound of breaking through the air behind him.

Whoosh whoosh—

More than twenty arrows turned into a dense rain of arrows and suddenly shot towards them!

"It's a bow and arrow! Quick! Everyone spread out and find a place to hide!"

The militia captain was shocked, yelled immediately, and hid behind a tree.

Others followed suit.

"First put down the coal and rocks you are carrying behind you and prepare to fight!"

A dozen militia members immediately put down the straw baskets they were carrying behind them, holding stone knives or wooden spears tightly in their hands.

Everyone's foreheads began to sweat. They had never experienced such a scene, and they were very nervous at this time.

"Surround them all!" A voice shouted from a distance.

As the words fell, a hundred or so people suddenly poured out crazily from the surroundings, and in an instant, more than thirty people were tightly surrounded.

Zhao Ye was dressed in leather armor, holding a bone knife in his right hand, and slowly walked out from behind, with a smile on his long face:

"Everyone, put down your weapons and I will spare your lives."
