Chapter 444: Night Attack
With the blessing of Bambi's magic skills, the Seven Swords Alliance finally arrived at Kenny's Mountain Brigade camp before 'it gets dark'. Night battles are not a problem for adventurers, but NPCs are unwilling, and even Mobutu's people have set up improvised camps, increased sentinels and scouts, and made it clear that they are unwilling to fight at night. The NPC coalition needs to rest. After setting up the camp, Boss Su summoned the three leaders of the mercenary group and pulled Dom and Chief Tsavo, who were in the brigade camp, into the team to discuss countermeasures.
Kenny's Mountain Brigade, which is actually Kenny's Mountain Hunter's House, is built of boulders and thick logs on a hilltop of a hill. Attacking such a fortress-like structure would require heavy casualties for Mobutu's army, and Mobutu had to fight thousands of miles this time to target Baron Twilight, who had also come from afar, so the ogre didn't bother to attack the mountain brigade. Mobutu's army was an unstandard hundred-man army, and according to the observations of Dom and Chief Tsavo, it numbered close to one hundred and twenty men, overnumbered by a few magicians. There is no warrior level lower than fifty-five. The adventurers in the brigade camp tentatively launched several attacks, killing only seven or eight ordinary soldiers, and half of the times they hung up! Fortunately, there are resurrection points in the brigade camp, and they can also provide maintenance services for equipment, and these people who hang up basically have nothing to lose except experience. Chief Tsavo: "I've had three people drop. If this continues, our situation is not optimistic. ”
On the coalition side, there are more than ninety NPC warriors, except for a few, all of them are level fifty-five, and there are no magicians. The adventurers plus the first master who followed Boss Dom, Golden Amir, made a total of fifty-six people, ranging from forty-six to fifty levels.
"In terms of numbers, we have the advantage of people. But in terms of strength, our people are not as elite as Mobutu. I'm at a disadvantage in this regard. Our advantage is twofold: First, more than 50 adventurers are not afraid of death. We are under the care of the Lord God and can be resurrected in the barracks. Second, we are not afraid of night battles. This must be put to good use. ”
Lu Lai urn sounded: "Our people are not afraid of death!" ”
"I know. But your brothers cannot be resurrected, so, they are a more precious force than our adventurers! It must be guaranteed that they do not suffer too many casualties. ”
Mu Wanjia got up and stroked his chest: "I now understand why you can get such a high achievement." You are willing to sacrifice, for the sake of justice, for the sake of fighting this enemy of all, and you don't care about the loss of your own strength. I'm ashamed of your actions - this ogre, after all, is a demon from my homeland! You can rest assured, as long as you have the determination to fight Mobutu to the end, the Muwanjia mercenary group, including myself, will not hesitate to sacrifice even if it is sacrificed! ”
Lulai and Blessa both stood up: "Go to the soup and fight the fire, don't give up!" ”
"In that case, I will publish the strategic guidelines and tactics of this battle. After listening, if you have any opinions, then discuss and revise them together, and if there are no suggestions, you must implement them firmly and work together to achieve them! ”
The strategic approach of this battle was to take advantage of the resurrection of the adventurers and constantly attack and deplete Mobutu's combat power from the brigade fortress. The NPC's responsibilities were twofold: to constantly repair and fortify the current camp, to keep a close watch on Mobutu's army sandwiched between the brigade camp and the field camp, and to not only hold on, but also to send troops to attack and attack the rear of Mobutu when it launched a fierce attack on one of them.
This plan was unanimously endorsed by everyone.
"Then, Lord Monwanja, Lord Lulai, and Lord Blessa, tonight you must divide your men to fortify the camp and fortify it to ensure that it can withstand the full force of Mobutu's army. Rest assured, the brothers in the brigade will not give them the time and opportunity to continue attacking the camp. I, along with my Seven Swords mercenary group, will launch a death attack on Mobutu's camp tonight. In addition to killing Mobutu's combat effectiveness, our goal is two, one is to enter the brigade camp and join the Hurricane Mercenary Group and the Round Table Mercenary Group; The second is to kill one or two of the mages in Mobutu's army as much as possible. This will cause the most damage to Mobutu's future attacks and defenses. Tonight, I'll be a little sorry, I might have escaped into Kenny's Hill Brigade. The channel icon I carry should not be missed, let me know you in advance, I hope you will not be distracted by seeing me run away! ”
Lu Lai smiled: "In my opinion, there is nothing more sad than letting a soldier who is obviously not afraid of death flee the battlefield!" Shall we choose a few archers to follow you and help you solve a problem or two? ”
Chief Tsavo: "That's the best, you draw the route, and we'll send someone to pick it up!" ”
The reception in the brigade camp was also divided into two routes: one was the Seven Swords Advance Squad, led by Chief Tsavo. In addition to killing enemies, it also has the effect of attracting enemy forces and reducing pressure for Baron Twilight. The Baron, who has been the latecomer all the way, is in charge of the Dom Boss's Hurricane Mercenary Group.
Dom commented: "That way starts first, I'll start from the other side." The key to the action is to be fast, even if we die back, don't give Mobutu the opportunity to counterattack the brigade camp! ”
The final issue is Bambi's stay: staying in the camp will lead to unknowable dangers in the future battles. Follow the baron into the barracks and take a temporary risk to ensure her safety in the future.
Bambi decides to follow the baron. The little girl blessed the Divine Movement for everyone several times in a row along the way, and she was already too tired to do it, and after making the decision to follow the baron, she fell asleep on Shengshengman's shoulder.
The attack was launched in the middle of the night. There was no way to sneak attack, the camping coalition had been detached to repair the camp, and Mobutu's men were also working hard to monitor this side, and when they saw the enemy rushing over, a bull's horn blew the whole camp up, and the two sides were in a ball of ping-pong. Seeing that the Seven Swords Alliance was defeated, a group of people rushed out of the brigade camp and killed Mobutu's troops.
"Can we go?" Bambi asked the baron. The two were already ready on the other side of the battlefield.
The baron said: "The enemy camp is not in chaos, and it is obvious that there are still reserves that have not been dispatched. The magic attack was only ours, and Mobutu's magicians didn't move. We'll have to wait a little longer! Look, this fireball - it's on our team! The magician of Mobutu is out, let's go! ”
"Wait!" Bambi bit his finger again and drew a fawn on the baron's boots: "You have to protect me!" ”
The two rushed to the side of the Mobutu camp, and the baron informed Xiao Man: "Let the NPC retreat, my side has begun to charge!" "In order not to engage the enemy, he avoided most of the outposts by making a slight intersperse in the camp. Some of these sentinels had been drained of the battle, and the few who were left were still focusing their attention on the battlefield not far away. The tents in the camp are divided into three levels, the largest and most ornate is naturally Mobutu's, which is small and clean, and the one that lives next to Mobutu's tent is the mage's residence. Baron Twilight did not dare to be greedy, so he threw a torch that had already been prepared on a small tent farthest from Mobutu's tent.
The flames rose and someone in the tent cursed angrily, and a mist appeared above the tent to extinguish the flames, and a man in a cloak with a black cross came out of the other side of the tent.
Except for the fallen priests, no one would use a black cross as a rod. The baron was overjoyed: if this came out with an earth type that was good at defense or a fire type that was sharp in attack, and he had to take care of Bambi, he really couldn't take it quickly. didn't say much at the moment, the Heart-burning Sword slashed down, almost burning the cloak man's robe, even the wounds and fire, and the cloaked man squeaked and screamed. This fire of life has additional damage to any evil unit or fallen class! The Fallen Priest cried out for support as he gave himself an intermediate healing spell to replenish the amount of health cut off by his enemies. After the swordsmanship was made, the baron changed into the Flame Overlord Gun, and the Phoenix Three, who still had a flame attack attached, nodded. The priest's robe was half destroyed, and there was not much additional protection, and after eating three shots in a row, the amount of blood dropped more than just now.
The Fallen Priest doesn't heal as much as the Ordinary Priest, but has several more attacks. Seeing that there was no hard top, the priest simply began to rush to buy time to wait for rescue. His skill is a curved black line that shoots out from between his hands and lands on top of Baron Twilight's head. This skill is a combined skill of control and blood sucking, which can bind the opponent and make it impossible for the opponent to leave the combat area while extracting the opponent's health for its own use, and the restriction is that the spiritual attribute of the releaser is higher than that of the opponent.
Baron Twilight doesn't eat this, his mental attributes are comparable to level 60 NPCs. Not only did the fallen priest fail to suck the baron's life, but he also made it impossible for him to escape the baron's attack. He was frightened, so he shouted for help even louder, and even after eating the baron's overlord gun a few times, he saw a magician dressed in dark mourning clothes come out of the tent. But a necromancer. Seeing that the dark herd was in distress, the death method did not say much, and first gave the baron a bone awl, and then began to summon the undead.
You hit yours! The baron is hard to resist the bone awl, and the steel gun in his hand does not stop, if it weren't for the fact that Dark Mu gave himself a small recovery technique, I am afraid that he would have hung up.
Another magician came out of the tent.
If you don't leave, it's too late. "Follow me!" The baron put away his gun and changed his sword, grabbed Bambi with one hand, and spewed fireballs from his mouth, and set fire to two nearby tents before he began to charge towards the rear of the camp. Running through these small tents and looking back, only the first Dark Shepherd hurriedly began to release the water mist technique, and everyone else was staring at him, rubbing fireballs, twisting bone awls, and condensing a ball of light surrounded by black gas, which seemed to be a powerful trick. Feeling that he could still fight a wave, the baron turned around and shouted: "Get out!" The sound rolled, interrupting several mages at the same time.
Letting go of Bambi, Baron Twilight raised his hand and threw a black ball at Darkherd, "For you!" ”
Dark Mu was still dizzy, and was hit on the head by Lei Zhu, and the electric fire spread all over his body, and he jumped on the spot twice and lay down on the body.
That's enough, you have to run! As soon as the baron stretched out his hand, he didn't hold Bambi, and the little girl's body turned into a sika deer, and she scurried forward and landed next to the corpse of the dark herd, stretched out her mouth and picked up a ball of golden light, jumped up on the spot with all four legs, turned around and ran back to the baron.
Before Baron Twilight could ask, he took the corner of Bambi's mouth and reached out to push the fawn's ass, "You go first!" ”
Bambi is transforming! was pushed on the butt by the baron, and made a big red face: "What are you doing?" Well, let's go! ”
This is not the time to be polite. The baron has an ice pick and a shadow arrow on his back! He reached out and picked up Bambi: "Don't move! He rushed to the gate of Kenny's Hill Brigade.
I can't rush it out. A black man in a crown on his head and a colorful military uniform stood in front of him: "The priest who killed me still wants to get out of here?" Hmph, Twilight Baron! You don't know that I'm coming thousands of miles to hack you to death and eat you, do you? And this little fawn cub, it must taste better than ordinary people! ”
"Mobutu? Who says I can't rush through? Look behind you! ”
Mobutu: "Don't look at it! No one in this place can threaten a king like me! ”
The three magicians standing behind Baron Twilight shouted, "Your Majesty, look back, be careful! ”
If you don't look at it, you can't do Mobutu turned around and saw a row of small whirlwinds rushing towards him! The arrival of the Hurricane Mercenary Group is now lined up in a fan shape, and they are launching a whirlwind slash against Mobutu one by one!
Mobutu sneered, knowing that these low-level adventurers couldn't bring much damage to themselves, and with a scepter, he planned to hard-top. One, two, three...... Exactly seven! What made Mobutu most uncomfortable was that the little whirlwind was also a hegemonic skill, limited to its level, and could not cause much damage to Mobutu, but Mobutu had nothing to do with these adventurers for a while. As he endured the whirlwind slash, Mobutu saw Baron Twilight rush into the gates of Kenny's Mountain Brigade with Spotted like the wind.
Mobutu was furious, and when he saw Dom's furious seven-man whirlwind finish casting and enter the recruitment stiffness, Mobutu swung his scepter and smashed it at the baron's back through a dozen figures. The flying scepter struck the baron's cloak, and the baron himself appeared out of thin air directly in front of him, three paces away.
The golden cicada is out of its shell!
However, the scepter still had no strength, and still carried the cloak forward, and struck the baron in the back of the heart with a snatch.
Before the scepter could hit the ground, a mouthful of blood erupted from the baron's mouth. He stopped, put Bambi down, looked back and smiled, "Almost, Lao Tzu can play slowly with you!" You're welcome to this thing! Leaning over to pick up Mobutu's scepter, he turned around, pulled Bambi up, and Shi Shiran walked into Kenny's Mountain Brigade camp.
Mobutu's scepter is no ordinary weapon: it is a jasper staff the thickness of a goose egg, nearly two feet long, with two golden hoops five minutes wide at the ends, and the middle is inlaid with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other perfect gemstones. Mobutu blackened his face and pointed at Dom and gave orders to his subordinates: "Kill them all for me!" ”
Dom resolutely followed the Baron's tactic: "Gather fire and necromancers." Let's die! ”
In a night battle, Dom's Hurricane mercenary group was wiped out, two people exploded their weapons, and one fell off the ranks. Except for the first high-level mercenary group who stayed in the camp, the others also died in the Kenny Mountain Brigade camp. King Kong Cat drops one level, and others blow up a few pieces of equipment - fortunately, everyone is fully prepared, and most of the explosions are spare weapons. The NPC coalition in the camp hangs down five people. The others retreated into the camp and began to hold on. The Baron sent the news through the first master: for all the natives who died in battle, Baron Twilight would pay a bereavement of five hundred gold coins. His children and relatives will be given priority in the opportunity to work in the baron's estate.
According to the statistics of both sides, Mobutu's men suffered eleven casualties in the night attack, plus a mage and a dark herd.
The casualties of the Seven Swords Coalition were more than three times that of Mobutu's forces. However, this battle was obviously won by the Seven Swords Alliance! The coalition forces have reached a situation of encirclement and entrenchment, and the number of NPCs sacrificed is very small, and the main healing of the opponent is killed, laying a solid foundation for the attrition of the entrenchment.
Kenny's Mountain Brigade is different from Tsavo Brigade: in addition to being a camp, it is also a hunter's home and a home for mountain rescue troops. There are three Hunter Mentors, five Kenny regular army garrisons, one garrison elite squad leader, one blacksmith, and two cook--waiters. There were not many people, but with the cooperation of the adventurers, there was no problem in holding the fortress. The only suspense now is whether the campers will be able to hold the camp and nail Mobutu's army firmly in the center of the battlefield.
The leader of the Mountain Brigade Hunter Mentor is called Big Stone, and he is carefully observing Mobutu's scepter.
King's Scepter: One-handed weapon (Piercing Leaf).
Grade: Purple.
Demand force sixty. The damage is equal to strength plus sixty. Attack range two. Attack speed five. Endurance sixty.
Bonus 1: 100% damage to the people of Zayya. Ignore defenses.
Additional 2: Characters killed by this weapon will have a high chance of dropping attributes.
Additional three, deterrence. Has a deterrent effect on Zaye subjects whose rank is not higher than the wielder.
Additional 4: The recovery speed of the damage effect is extremely slow.
"It's just a purple weapon, but to the people of Zaye, the value is immeasurable!"
Thanks to the power of the Scepter of the King of Tyleaf, Baron Twilight is still coughing and moving slowly, and Voiceman has given him several recovery spells to no avail. At this time, the Baron was being supported by Shengsheng Man and Bambi on the left and right, dozens of health points, and it took half a day to jump up by two or three points, and occasionally three or two red blood loss numbers appeared: "You say so, it is impossible for Mobutu to give up this scepter?" ”
"How can a deposed king be in charge of a hundred men of a regular army? In addition to the money and food he has in his private collection, this scepter is also one of the reasons. Everyone, get ready, as soon as the morning dawns, they will attack the brigade camp in a frenzy. ”
The baron felt that he had not suffered this in vain, which was tantamount to putting a pair of war shackles on both sides, forming a situation of endless death! As the defender, there is also an army that can be resurrected indefinitely, and the coalition forces firmly occupy the top. Now, even if all the NPC troops camped managed to pull into Kenny's Mountain Brigade, Mobutu would not evacuate and would fight himself to the end!
Will this work? He asked the big stone.
Big Stone affirmed the baron's kindness: "You are truly a benevolent lord. However, Mobutu's army had just experienced such a sneak attack......" he shook the scepter in his hand: "I have suffered such a big loss, I don't think we have such a positive chance!" ”
"In this case, the people who camped behind Mobutu would suffer great casualties. They took on the task of protecting me, and they couldn't leave......"
Big Stone returned the scepter to the baron: "The front can't be helped, it doesn't mean the back can't be done." The problem is that I can't inform them. Come and see ......" he led the baron to a wall, "This is the map of Kenny's Mountain Brigade." Very vivid, right? Mobutu's army is here, your allies are in this position, and we, at the moment, are in a very advantageous defensive position. But we are outnumbered, so your allies must not withdraw. Now that we know that Mobutu's men will not be able to withdraw, the best position for us is not to divide our forces to contain them, but to concentrate our forces on defense. This requires luring your allies into the fortress. ”
Returning to Kenny's Mountain Brigade, a rampart built at the end of a low mountain range, with high stone steps at the main entrance, flanked by cliffs that could knock a man half-dead, not too high, but certainly a terrain that could not be opened. The back of the rampart connected to the ridge, a ridge only two feet wide, which could squeeze down about three people, and it was not a place to attack.
The arrow in the big stone's hand struck the ridge: "As long as it is guarded, this is not a place to attack." However, a small number of people can be quickly accessed by ropes and mud bags - a large number of people can enter and exit smoothly if no one is making trouble. Do you have a way to inform your people to take a detour to enter here? ”
NPCs have the convenience of NPCs, and adventurers have shortcuts to adventurers! With such a distance, it is impossible to hold the communication method of 'team chat'.
The first master told Mu Wanjia the three of them about the situation.
The three looked at each other and shook their heads. Lu Lai said: "It won't work." Mobutu's men have stepped up their surveillance of us. As soon as our efforts to fortify the camp stopped, they would immediately send people to reconnoiter and start a field battle with us. Without the defenses of the camp, we would have been routed at once. Unless ......"
Mu Wanjia said: "Unless we have enough men left to keep building fortifications to confuse them." Those who remain will surely die! We can't decide who stays and who leaves! ”
Blesa hesitated and asked, "Can we draw lots according to the proportion of personnel?" Five of my men were left, two of those who came from Lu, and eight of Lao Mu's men. The movement of these people should be able to hide from Mobutu. I think if we stay here, we'll at least double our casualties. It is understandable to believe that those who have been drawn by lots. ”
"I can't understand it." Mu Wanjia threw the stone in his hand into the middle of the map drawn on the dirt in front of him: "Unless the three of us also draw lots to leave one person!" ”
Silence together.
Duan Wei looked annoyed: "I just asked Lord Baron." My lord said, "I have a way to get you all to leave." ”
The three heads turned together. Who doesn't know you have a solution? We don't say it because this method requires you to die! "What do you say?"
"He told me to die!"
