The System Store was filled with a dazzling array of items. Daily necessities, leveling supplies, combat supplies, mounts, and so on. Among them, the upgrade items and combat items could only be purchased with Gold, and many of the combat items still needed to be developed before they could be purchased. Daily necessities and mounts required Merit Points to purchase, but mounts also required R D EXP to develop.
Now that there was no war, Li Rui mainly browsed through the daily necessities and found that everything from tobacco, wine, and tea to villas and manors were sold, even love. Interesting lingerie and spring Medicine was available for sale, and the price was almost the same as the world before he transmigrated. It was just that the cost here was merit points.
It had been two days since he had transmigrated, but Li Rui had not smoked a single cigarette. He quickly spent 20 Merit Points to buy a pack of War God cigarettes, then spent another 5 Merit Points to buy a lighter. He quickly tore open the packaging, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff. It was still a familiar smell and feeling.
As he smoked, he recalled the past and planned for the future. At some point, Li Rui fell asleep.
When he woke up again, Li Rui was awakened by the sound of the horn. Li Rui understood what the horn meant. He jumped up and ran out of the tent in three steps. He asked,""Where is the bugle?"
"Brother Rui! Not good!" As if responding to Li Rui, a silkpants ran in from outside the door with a pale face." Left…Left…"
Li Rui hugged the silkpants and supported his head with all his might.""Don't panic. Tell me slowly. What happened?”
Seeing Li Rui's calm gaze, the silkpants felt slightly relieved. He took a deep breath and said,""The Left Guard is attacking."
"They're attacking?" Li Rui was also shocked. Iron Staff Mai couldn't be so stupid, right? Fights between soldiers were not a big deal to begin with. After the two generals met, they could settle it with a laugh. However, if they really used their battle formations and weapons, it would be a major event that could alarm the emperor. Could it be that Ironstaff McDonnell did not understand the pros and cons of this?
In order to be afraid that the silkpants would lie about the military situation, Li Rui ran to the camp entrance to take a look. This time, his anger immediately rose. On the long street, there were indeed hundreds of elite Left Martial Guards in neat rows, marching towards the camp of the grain guards.
"Get into formation to meet the enemy!" Li Rui shouted.
"Battle formation?" Cui Jianren, who was walking over, subconsciously asked back. Then, his expression changed and he said," Brother Rui, don't be rash! A fight between allies would be punished as treason.”
"F * ck! If they weren't even afraid of the f * cking Iron Staff, why should they be afraid of birds?”Li Rui scolded Cui Jianren in a bad mood, and then shouted into the camp," Didn't you hear me? Immediately get into formation to face the enemy!"
"Yes, sir!" Only then did the grain guards realize that Li Rui was serious. After yesterday's incident, Li Rui now had a very high prestige in the grain guards. Therefore, although he was only a colonel, no one questioned his command authority.
There were a total of four regiments in the grain protection army. Li Rui's regiment commander was Li Yan. He usually lived in Li Yuan's residence. Now that Treasurer Li Yuan, General Liu Hongji, and Lieutenant Li Yan were not in the camp, Li Rui, the brigade commander, could be considered the highest military officer of this regiment. Therefore, Soldier Cao Can Jun only opened his mouth but did not raise any objections in the end. However, Li Rui could not command the other three regiments.
Although the grain guards were not well-trained, they were still trained. Although they were a little flustered at the start, under the command of Li Rui, Cui Jianren, and Zheng Chong, they still got into a defensive formation.
"Grain guards, advance!" Li Rui unsheathed his saber and let out a furious roar. The grain guards also shouted in unison. Under the leadership of the three brigade leaders, they drew their swords and raised their shields as they stepped out of the camp gate, blocking the path of the left guard.
"Motherf * cker, they still dare to get into formation? Charge up, scatter them, and take back our brothers!”A yellow-faced general leading the Left Military Guards angrily ordered.
"Infantry, move forward and set up a shield wall to defend! Archers, raise your bows and draw them! Anyone who dares to get within fifty steps will be shot!”The tactical formation that Li Rui had just learned last night came in handy, although he did not know how much of the power of the battle formation these grain guards could unleash. However, he did not believe that the Left Military Guard would dare to risk his life to fight with his colleagues.
The archers in the last row of the team immediately raised their bows. Their arms and legs were trembling, but the arrows were placed on the bows without hesitation.
The Left Military Guards were elite troops who had been through many battle formations, so they naturally understood that they could not charge into Li Rui's current formation. They could not help but slow down their pace and look back, waiting for the general to give a new order.
Seeing this, the yellow-faced general stomped his feet in anger and scolded,"Why the f * ck are you all stopping? The Great General has raised you for so many years. Can't you even snatch back your own brothers? When did my Left Guard brothers become so gutless? Forward line, attack formation, raise shields! If anyone dares to shoot arrows at us, just cut them down!”
After all, they were elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. As soon as the order was given, the hundred prefecture soldiers in front immediately raised their shields to protect their upper bodies. As they advanced, they arranged their formation. In an instant, they changed into an arrow formation. The entire team slowly pressed forward like a huge arrow.
This was a standard attack formation. From their pace and flexibility, the grain guards knew that they were no match for them. Cui Jianren and Zheng Chong, who were standing in front with Li Rui, immediately felt weak. Their legs were trembling. They looked at Li Rui at the same time, hoping that he would understand the situation and quickly give the order to retreat.
Li Rui's face was ashen. He didn't even look at Cui Zheng and shouted,"Brothers of the grain protection army, listen up. Behind us is the military rations used by His Majesty for the Eastern Expedition. Those who dare to attack our grain guards are traitors plotting to harm the military rations. Everyone, feel free to kill the thieves. If anything happens, I, Li Rui, will bear the responsibility alone!”
"Yes!" The grain guards roared in unison.
"Now, listen to my orders." "First row, squat down!" Li Rui shouted in a deep voice. The second row leaned forward and supported the back of the first row. Third row, hold your lances!"
Li Rui's order was strictly carried out. With a " Hua " sound, fifty three meter long shiny lances stabbed out from behind the shield wall, forming a ferocious iron hedgehog.
Li Rui took down the longbow on his back and shot an arrow. It stabbed into the left guard formation ten meters in front of them. Then he shouted again,"Archers, draw your bows! Anyone who crosses the range will be killed without mercy!”
