Chapter 171 Alliance Reinforcements

The defeat of the alliance members on the North wall gave a huge boost of morale for everyone defending the base, especially the soldiers on the Southern wall that was being pushed back the most compared to the other walls. With this development, the first to know about the situation was, of course, going to be Roxi and Meng Wu, the two strategists that were the cause of such an upset.

Though they knew that the enemy would not give up on the wall, they were able to send a few more troops to the other walls to support them. Once Baron and the rest got the good news, they knew that this was only a temporary victory. The main reason for this was due to the fact that no sane strategist would put all of their eggs in one basket at this stage of the tournament and send all troops to attack one opponent. It was quite likely that they saved a few for back up.

Yue Fei and Guan Yu, who was defending the West and East walls, were not doing too bad on their ends. The two of them had picked up that these two armies were unlikely to be the enemies' attacking pieces as they were mainly just attacking from the sidelines, not doing many offensives. If that were truly the case, they reckoned that the only other attacking piece that the alliance had to use against them was Zhang Da Zhi's army. Though they were powerful, Baron was currently coming out on top, albeit not by much. In response to this, Meng Wu sent 5 of his men that were supposed to defend the North walls to the South walls where Baron was stationed.

For the next couple of days, Baron's side managed to widen the gap between him and Zhang Da Zhi thanks to the help of the new reinforcements from Meng Wu. It must never be understated the importance of a few extra strategists under great leadership. However, it seemed as if even with all of this happening, the alliance did not really give up on their goal to take Baron and his team down. One of their two spears were crippled so badly that they had to stop attacking the walls, allowing soldiers to pour into the battles of the other walls. Their two shields did not stray from their attrition warfare style tactic and continued to do so even in such a circumstance. And last but not least, the other spear was starting to get overwhelmed slightly but surely.

It turns out that their initial hunches were correct and that there were indeed other soldiers not in the first wave of armies. These new enemy reinforcements were not any weaker than the army that Zhang Da Zhi currently was leading and that might be all they needed to break the stalemate that the two sides had held for almost two weeks now. Those newcomers were sent to the North and South walls and those two battlefields saw a new level of ferocity that neither had seen before.

Roxi and Meng Wu did not panic and once again set up the duo Gatling gun contraption and began shooting like no tomorrow once more. This time though, the enemy came prepared and only used heavy armored vehicles and similar armored tanks and such to approach at full speed and take down the wall as fast as they could. These armored vehicles might've stopped a few bullets, but if they got a good shot in at the walls, that would be a problem. Meng Wu ordered the two others who were in the contraption to focus on all of the other ground units that would inevitably start charging as well once the vehicles were close enough to the wall.

The reason that Meng Wu had for going about this was that he was the most accurate shot on this device out of all three of them. He would rather target those vehicles himself and allow the other two to deal more damage to the soldiers. If they were able to repel the army for several days, the enemy soldiers should have a huge loss of morale. Thus, leading to an even bigger victory than the first time that they did it.

They were able to push back the first wave that came at them with no problems, but the second wave was a bit trickier as their foes sent in a couple of dozen tanks all at the same time in order to get a good hit in. With just Meng Wu, in this case, the tanks were able to get a good few shots in before they were obliterated. A few more shots like these and the walls would have fallen.

On the thirteenth day of battle, there would be two major developments that would occur on this battlefield as a whole. The first was that the forces stationed on the North walls were finally and utterly repelled without a chance to recover. However, this had come at a huge cost as nearly all of Baron's soldiers that were stationed there were either dead or recovering from horrendous wounds.

The second was that Ding Lai Hang and Qi Ji Guang would finally start to launch an offensive with all of their forces. Bullets whizzed through the air and explosions were everywhere, but the base stood firm and lived to see another day. What took the cake was that on the fourteenth day, an even bigger development would take place that would shock both the alliance members as well as Baron's team.
