Chapter 676: Great War (Part 1)
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!! This is the real war, this is the real war!!!"
The Xianbei cavalry began to accelerate slowly, and the Pingzhou army was ready to wait for the Xianbei to enter the attack range. In a bush not far from the core battlefield, a player couldn't help howling loudly.
"boom!"
Another older player kicked him hard and cursed in a low voice: "Little brat, do you want to kill us?"
The kicked player was not angry either, he stood up awkwardly, rubbed the back of his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Old Dao, am I excited? You know, I have never seen such a big scene before!"
The older player smiled and sighed: "Don't talk about you little bastard, I have never seen such a scene, you old uncle Dao, but I have to bear it if I haven't seen it. To attract the attention of the enemy, we If you touch someone, you will die immediately without a place to bury him!"
"Hey, Uncle Dao, you have been worrying too much. Their targets are the opponent's army. In their eyes, we are similar to the grasshoppers next to them. As long as they don't seek death themselves, they won't focus on us. .” Another team member said.
"Hey, you bastard doesn't know what's good or bad. Many people became famous and became rich overnight in this war, but most of them were slaughtered by Xianbei people. Don't blame me for not warning you. If anyone dares to disobey orders, Lao Dao No mercy!"
Seeing that Uncle Dao was really angry, everyone didn't dare to provoke Uncle Dao anymore, they all calmed down, watching the upcoming battle nervously.
There are still many small player groups like them, and there are at least thousands of such players lurking in this battlefield. They dare not go deep into the battlefield, so they can only play around the edge of the battlefield to pick up cheap ones.
If the Pingzhou army wins a big victory, they will also take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, pick up some equipment that the Pingzhou army doesn't like, and if they are lucky, they can even harvest a seriously injured horse.
Pull it back and take care of it carefully. If you are lucky, you can get a strong war horse.
These people have a title among the players - battlefield scavengers, and they laugh at themselves as [Battered Army]. Although these players are not very strong in combat, they have various methods, especially good at avoiding searches. Some lucky scavengers can even pick up lost high-level equipment or skill books after the war.
Of course, compared to the group that was ridiculed like the battlefield scavengers, the mercenary regiment was the most rewarding.
They are well-trained and well-equipped, and in many cases, their average combat power even exceeds that of the elite aboriginal army. This kind of player-based legion is active on the battlefield, employed by the lord to participate in the battle, and can often get very rich rewards after completing the task.
The most famous mercenary corps is the Suiyun Legion active in Youzhou, with tens of thousands of core members, well-organized and disciplined, and amazing combat effectiveness. Both Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan had hired them to participate in the war against chaos.
According to gossip, Suiyun, the leader of the Suiyun Legion, was once an instructor of the Yanhuang Special Brigade. After retiring, he formed a security company. Later, when they were stationed in Fenghuo, the fighting style of many people in the Suiyun Legion was also very similar to that of Yanhuang.
Shang Ji dismissed this gossip - Suiyun LegionTM is clearly a subordinate force of Yanhuang, okay? Shang Ji asked Yanhuang for assistance in eliminating Xianbei, and after discussion, Yanhuang dispatched the Suiyun Army in Youzhou.
Of course, Shang Ji hired them in name.
Including the 10,000 troops of the Suiyun Legion, a whole group of 20,000 players have received the temporary battlefield mission released by Shang Ji—【Stop the Enemy】.
【Stop the enemy】: Detour behind the enemy army, kill the enemy army when it is defeated, prevent the enemy army from retreating, and cooperate with the main force to destroy the enemy army. The basic reward is 10 points of merit. After completing the task, you can get the corresponding additional merit reward according to your performance in the task.
For this task, the player mercenary readily accepts it. You can get 10 points of merit without doing anything, and there will be extra rewards for killing the enemy when the enemy is defeated. You are a fool if you don’t do it!
Of course, anyone with a real eye knows that these 10 points of merit are not worth getting.
Will the Xianbei people watch their backs be intercepted? To put it bluntly, these 10 points of meritorious service are money for your life. How much you can sell your life depends on your next performance!
In the expectant eyes of countless players, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the battle officially begins!
"Let the arrow!"
With Huang Zhong, who commanded the bow and crossbow troops, roaring, arrows rained down, and the dense arrows shot directly at the Xianbei army.
"Buzz--"
The super-intensive sound of bowstrings directly connected to the city, forming a lingering buzzing sound. Arrows roared in the air, shooting at the enemy army densely like raindrops.
"Ahhh!"
There were screams one after another, and the Xianbei cavalry in the front row fell to the ground like wheat, while the Xianbei behind stepped over the corpses of their comrades in front expressionlessly and continued to charge forward.
"Woo!"
After a loud horn sounded, the flag was waved, and the Xianbei cavalry separated left and right, one left and one right, and took a detour, trying to bypass the heavily defended front and attack directly from the flanks.
"Hmph, small tricks!"
Shang Ji snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the two columns of cavalry on the flanks moved into action one after another. The left wing was led by Zhao Yun, leading 20,000 silver dragon cavalry, and the right wing was led by Tai Shici. The same troops were deployed, but the silver dragon cavalry was replaced by Lieyang cavalry. The remaining 30,000 regular cavalry continued to be on guard.
"Change!"
Zhang Yun, who was in charge of commanding the infantry group, waved his hand and waved the flag, and the army moved slowly. Taking advantage of the vacancy when the Xianbei were held back by the left and right wings, the infantry group quickly completed the formation adjustment. Even if the cavalry on both wings can't support it, there are heavy infantry behind to protect the crossbow troops.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
After three rapid horn sounds, the Xianbei people made another move. More Xianbei troops surrounded them and galloped around the Pingzhou army in an attempt to find loopholes.
With previous combat experience, Zhang Yun seemed to be handy in the face of Xianbei's attack, waving the command flag from time to time to adjust the army formation, so that the Xianbei had no chance to take advantage of it.
During this period, the bow and crossbow troops commanded by Huang Zhong did not stop attacking. The arrows were like rain, and the Xianbei suffered heavy losses. Although the Xianbei people also have many troops who are proficient in cavalry and archery to fight back with cavalry bows, but the range, power, and accuracy of cavalry bows are not as good as professional archers, not to mention that there are 50,000 soldiers who shoot the sun.
The Xianbei counterattack only caused some sporadic casualties to the Pingzhou Army, but every round of arrow rain from the Pingzhou Army can severely damage the Xianbei Army.
"Woo——"
After a dull and long horn, the Xianbei army's momentum suddenly changed, gave up Rao Xing, brandished a scimitar, and slammed into the Pingzhou army in a daze.
At the same time, more Xianbei troops were dispatched, and a small group of elite troops broke away from the main force and quickly circled around, seemingly attacking the Pingzhou army from behind.
However, the main force of the Xianbei Army still slammed into the Pingzhou Army fiercely, and the most direct and hardest collision happened!
