Chapter 723: Wild Horse Valley Challenge (continued)

The third wave is refreshed with 500 elite mustangs.

The elite mustang that appeared for the first time was taller and more majestic than the average mustang of the previous two times. The herd of wild horses came out of the altar, most of them coming straight to Bridge No. 3, while others stopped on the opposite bank, leisurely nibbling on the grass, or wandering along the shore, and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave.

"Good phenomenon, there is a chance to break each one!" The fish is not wise to swing his fist.

The fierce battle legion was divided into three routes, and the defender of the No. 3 bridge in the middle road was still Qu Chen, with a strength of nearly seven hundred. Xu Shu commanded in the center here, Yu Buzhi, Peigua and the division were all deployed here, strictly speaking, the wild horses rushed to the No. 3 bridge, which was the most beneficial for the challenge legion. If 500 wild horses rushed over together, it would be impossible for the defenders of Bridge No. 3 to stop them, but now that the wild horses are moving in batches, Yu Buzhi thinks that there is a chance.

Xu Shu didn't say anything, but just ordered Zhao Yun and Wang Ping's cavalry to immediately reinforce them.

Judging by his face, he didn't seem very optimistic about it.

There were more than 300 wild horses on the No. 3 bridge, which was the same as the number of wild horses encountered by Wang Ping in the first wave. There are five green grass bridges in this round, Zhao Yun and Wang Ping guard the No. 1 and No. 5 bridges respectively, and they are both two hundred steps away from the No. 3 bridge, and the reinforcements are bound to arrive later, and the No. 3 bridge may not last that long.

Do not forget that this wave is not refreshed by ordinary mustangs, but by the so-called elite mustangs.

Will the defenders of Bridge 3 be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive to help?

Xu Shu is very unoptimistic.

The third round of refresh allowed his two small doubts to be solved.

One question is whether the Mustang bridge crossing route is necessarily related to the refresh round: in the first round of refresh, the Mustang was all on a green grass, and the second round was divided into two ways, so Xu Shu will inevitably have some guesses, will the third round be divided into three ways? Do you increase it every round in the future? As it stands, it doesn't seem to be.

The second question is why the Wild Horse refresh interval is 30 minutes: with the running speed of the Wild Horse herd, it can be over in about 10 minutes from coming out of the altar, running up to the Green Grass Bridge, and finally breaking through the encirclement and successfully escaping or being captured by the challenge legion. The challenge legion seems to have taken a long time to recuperate, which makes Xu Shu very strange. It wasn't until the third round of refresh, seeing some wild horses grazing across the river, that Xu Shu suddenly realized.

Old doubts are solved, and new ones follow.

If 30 minutes have passed and the grazing wild horses have not crossed the river, will they continue to exist or disappear? If it continues, will it affect the number of Mustang spawns in the next round? Will there be an impact on the arrest?

This is a king-level strategist who never lets his mind sit idle......

Xu Shu has been working hard to collect information about Mustang Valley and seek the most beneficial plan for his side. One by one, the known or inferred known information flashed in Xu Shu's mind.

Mustang 30 minutes brush a new round;

Each round of refreshing the river will add a grass bridge;

The number of wild horses refreshed each time is increasing, in fact, so far, the number of wild horses refreshed each time is equivalent to hundreds of times that of the green grass bridge. According to this law, the more grass bridges and wild horses there are, and the wild monsters are getting stronger and stronger, far beyond the interception limit of the challenge legion, and in the end it can only be a matter of luck;

But the problem is that if the strength of the Mustang continues to grow like this, the number of bridges that the troops can hold will become smaller and fewer, and there is some hope that they will have to concentrate all their forces to defend a bridge in the future. Seven or eight bridges to choose one to guard, gambling on the wild horse conscience found, automatically ran to the heavily guarded bridge, Xu Shu didn't think he looked so good.

If there is no way to change this passive situation, it is not difficult to imagine how the results of the challenge will develop in the future.

Xu Shu looked at the case and thought thoughtfully.

The sound of hooves is like thunder, from far to near.

Yu Buzhi was particularly curious, how could a wild horse make such a noise on the soft grass bridge, it was not logical at all, right? But there is no way to talk to the Futu theory in the game, and the great Futu has always cared much about such a trivial matter as reasoning.

As expected, the defenders of Bridge 3 were swept away by the wild horses before reinforcements arrived.

The impact of the elite Mustang is significantly stronger, and it is not the same grade as the ordinary Mustang .

What's more, the Elite Mustang not only maintains the knockback effect of the ramming, but also adds a new ability.

[Friendly reminder 2: As the so-called dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, the rabbit is anxious to bite, and the wild horse will also be manic when it is forced to be anxious, they will definitely not only bite people. Challengers need to pay attention to safety, do it and cherish it. 】

When the elite mustangs rushed over, the Wudang Flying Army still responded according to the previous pattern, giving up their weapons and fighting back with all their might against the rush of the wild horses. But everyone soon saw why these wild horses were called "elite", and the wild horses not only kept squeezing forward, but also opened their mouths and birds to bite!

They really bite!

The new skills of the elite mustangs caught the flying army off guard, and at least more than a dozen people were bitten by the mustangs. Fortunately, the Wudang Flying Army is not an ordinary army, it is strong, strong-willed, and extremely experienced in battle, so it quickly adjusts its tactics and pays more attention to the defense against the attack of wild horses, but the defense line is still precarious under the impact. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Shu didn't care about keeping the number of wild horses so that he could capture them, so he ordered the flying army to kill the killers, weaken the impact of the wild horse herd by reducing the number, and keep the defense line intact as much as possible.

The elite mustang's blood value is perverted, and even if the flying army doesn't make a move, he can't let go of the mustang in three or five strokes.

The strength of the flying army is strong, if it is in a relaxed environment, it takes a little more hands and feet to finally overturn the wild horses, but now it is obviously not, the wild horses are like huge waves blocked by the embankment, rushing to the embankment wave after wave, and the repulsion effect is always there, so that the flying army has been unable to fight in a normal state, and the killing efficiency has been greatly reduced, so it can only be supported hard. The flying army is still like this, and if it is intercepted by ordinary troops, I am afraid that it will be crushed long ago.

Xu Shu did not hesitate to release the legion technique.

Dozens of elite wild horses were killed, and the pressure on the foot soldiers was slightly reduced, but the alarm was not lifted.

The elite herd of wild horses continued to pound the encirclement, which was like a ball, blowing bigger and thinner, and very fast. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qu Chen ordered the cavalry of Bridge No. 3 to dismount, fill the gap between the Wudang Fei Army, and make every effort to maintain the integrity of the encirclement. Doing so can slightly delay the collapse of the defensive line, but the cost is also obvious, which is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the right to capture, and the capture can only hope for reinforcements.

"Upper set!" Xu Shu said suddenly.

Qu Chen's eyes lit up.

Who rules that you can only ride on horses?

Who said foot soldiers can't leash horses?

Not really!

The reason for assigning infantry to block the cavalry is that it is the most suitable approach to the situation in the Wild Horse Valley to let the flying army with the strongest combat effectiveness block the impact of the wild horses and provide the cavalry with an opportunity to capture; The second is habit, the cavalry participating in the war practice the horse master from the nomads, the nomads have always been chasing the horse, almost no pestle in the same place can be the horse situation, so everyone defaults to the horse must be on the horse first.

In Qu Chen's shouting, the rear cavalry threw out the rope nooses one after another.

"Spare noose for the front row of flyers!"

Seeing that the cavalry's vision was blocked after dismounting, the rope noose was thrown in a mess, it looked extremely lively, and there were very few wild horses in the actual set, Xu Shu couldn't help frowning, and asked the cavalry to pass the spare rope lass to the flying army.

Now surrounded by the wild horses, they are moving slowly, and they are ready to throw the rope around the neck of the wild horses. In today's situation, there is no contradiction between maintaining the defensive line and controlling Operation Mustang, but the response is highly uniform, and it is nothing more than a hard top. If the foot soldiers can participate in the capture, the speed of subduing the wild horses will undoubtedly be much faster, and the faster the capture, the less pressure the defense line will bear.

The time is not as good as the place.

When the flying army made a move, the hit rate of the rope sleeve was significantly higher than that of the cavalry throwing it on the periphery, and the flying army did not need much skill, just pull the rope sleeve directly to the neck of the wild horse, and at most the spearmen cooperated.

In just half a minute, the number of wild horses in the infantry trap was more than the total result of the cavalry in two minutes......

Despite this, the defense line of Bridge 3 collapsed.

Before reinforcements arrived.

The impact of the elite mustang is not comparable to that of ordinary mustangs.

The Flying Army is very strong, but in the face of the knockback effect given to the Mustang by the system, it has never been able to stabilize its position, and the defense line is constantly stretched. Even if the cavalry of the No. 3 bridge joined, the wild horse impact that the 400 flying troops could not stop, and the more than 200 cavalry could not reverse the passive situation, and the defense line was quickly lost.

The wild horses broke through and ran towards the vast enchantment for freedom.

The wild horse in the quilt did not escape so easily, and the deer warrior dragged the rope and wrestled with the wild horse, and was dragged by the wild horse and fell to the ground and refused to let go. The soldiers next to him hurriedly rushed over to help, and several people dragged a rope to restrain the wild horse to consume time, and it was good to control the wild horse for 1 minute.

By this time, the differences in the strength of the various units were evident.

The two flying armies worked together to drag an elite wild horse, which did not seem to be very difficult, and there was still some strength left; For the same thing, it takes four people to complete the Breaker Ride; The North Camp basically needs three people to complete. Overall, such a performance can roughly reflect the difference in the strength of several troops.

By the time the cavalry of Bridge No. 1 and Bridge No. 5 arrived, the wild horses had almost run away. The cavalry rushed up to block it as soon as possible, trying to recover the losses as much as possible, but the elite mustangs were obviously not fuel-efficient lamps, they would not only bite people, but also bite horses, and the horses that challenged the legion were terrified and hurried to avoid them.

The cavalrymen had no choice but to throw out the noose and catch one more horse.

By the 10th minute after the third wave of wild horses was refreshed, the more than 300 wild horses that rushed to the No. 3 bridge all left. Nearly two hundred elite wild horses remained on the other side of the river, still grazing leisurely, and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave.

The other side of the bridge.

Having tasted the benefits of the Flying Army's participation in the capture operation, the soldiers are seizing the time to redistribute the ropes and treat the wounded robes.

Elite mustangs will bite, bringing new challenges to the capture activities of the challenge legion, the flying army is slightly better when carrying the shield hard top, after the defense line is broken through by the wild horse herd, the formation is scattered, the contact between the wild horses and the soldiers has increased significantly, and it is not so easy to protect the chaotic army, and the number of injured has increased significantly. Among them, the cavalry of the No. 3 Bridge, which participated in the battle later, was injured more than the flying army that had been in front, and the cavalry's weakness of being relatively unfamiliar with foot combat was completely exposed, and the cavalry of the North Battalion was slightly better, and the performance of the broken cavalry was especially obvious.

Qu Chen's face was very ugly, he didn't expect it to be so unbearable after he got off the horse.

"Calm down," Yu Buzhi put one hand on Qu Chen's shoulder, "If you're not satisfied, go back and practice hard." ”

Yu Buzhi knows Qu Chen's temperament very well, Qu Chen's temperament is lively and easy-going, but it doesn't mean that he has no principles, in fact, Qu Chen is very serious about his official affairs and never discounts his tasks. Regarding the construction of cavalry, it has always been the most important part of Qu Chen, at this time it is useless to tell him that there is a level gap between the Broken Cavalry and the North Battalion, and it is even more inappropriate to point out that the fighting will and brave spirit of the Broken Cavalry are worthy of praise, Qu Chen can't listen to it, and encourages him to go back to practice the Broken Cavalry, which is easy to resonate.

Yu Buzhi is not worried that his pouting words will cause trouble.

Brother Mo Ruo.

Qu Chen is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and after a few days he calms down, and he will face up to the gap in the troops.

"Big brother is right!"

Qu Chen's eyes swept over the surrounding cavalry, and the cavalry suddenly felt that the temperature around them had dropped.

Yu Buzhi patted Qu Chen's arm again and walked quickly towards Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was looking at the wild horses on the opposite bank, frowning and pondering, and did not even order the two reinforcement cavalry to return to their original positions, Zhao Yun, who led his troops to arrive, did not say a word, silently, this kind of omission appeared in Xu Shu is a very incredible thing. Yu Buzhi had no reservations about Xu Shu's trust, knowing that there must be a reason, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, what are you thinking?" ”

Xu Shu turned around and said solemnly: "Lord, it can't go on like this." ”

"How do I not know? But there is no other way. Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly.

He could now see that the grass bridge could only be used by wild horses, the challenge legion could not board the bridge, and the crocodiles had locked the swimming road, and the challenge legion could only wait on this side of the river. With the continuous increase of green grass bridges, the number and quality of wild horses continued to improve, and the efficiency of waiting for rabbits plummeted. With the speed at which the wild horses passed through the grass bridge, as well as the strong impact, the wrong position can basically be stopped, and there is no chance to rush over to make amends, and they are basically gambling on character in the back.

Xu Shu has a rigorous style, likes to control the overall situation, calmly calculates, and gambling on character is his most resistant.

Another worrying trend is that it is becoming more and more difficult for the Challenge Corps to hold off the onslaught of the Mustangs, as the battle at Bridge No. 3 has just proved that the forces of the three directions are not enough, and the shrinking of forces is the general trend. What's even more serious is that even if it is divided into two bridges, each road is only more than 300 people than the soldiers are divided into three roads, no matter how you look at it, you dare not say that it is safe, is it really necessary for 2,000 people to guard a bridge?

Two thousand people guarding a bridge doesn't feel impregnable.

With a 30-minute wave refresh rate, at least 6 waves of Mustang will be refreshed in the 3-hour challenge period, and the third round will appear as an elite Mustang that will bite people, and no one knows what else awaits the challenge legion. All in all, the future is uncertain, and the situation is far from optimistic.

"If your subordinates think of a way, they may be able to turn defeat into victory." Xu Shu said calmly.

"What?"

"Cross the river."
