Chapter 378: Ambush
This cavalry of about 200 men traveled well all the way, showing that they were full of confidence in the coming battle. Also, how much combat effectiveness can the team composed of those wanderers and herdsmen have? The highest-level Norouzi is only forty-five, and there are only thirty or so others who have reached level forty, and the fifty Lifu who finally joined it are still two to say whether they have formed combat effectiveness! Or, they don't do much at all except to help the team carry more food and grass when they march!
There were still two days to go before they arrived at Jiangles, and the team rested by a murky river. The cavalrymen led their horses to a slower place to drink. The two centurions sat on a slightly higher ground and looked around, and saw a tall warhorse carrying a man passing by not far awayβthe man's name was actually red! A hundred-man commander shouted, "Alert! There's an enemy - Twilight Orange! β
Baron Twilight had apparently arrived from the Jade Pagoda Stone, and his destination must have been Jiangles. In order to get to Jangelus as soon as possible, he took the nearest path, which coincided with the route of the Kalemaks. He made a slight detour, naturally not wanting to encounter the Calmaks.
Seeing that the baron was going to Jiangles alone, the two centennial commanders did not want to let go of this opportunity, and as soon as they whistled, more than a dozen sentries on duty hit their horses and chased after the baron. When the others saw this scene, they still had to do what they should do. Ten people want to take down a forty-three level adventurer is like ten hungry wolves besieging a sheepdog. Loot and rewards don't arouse much interest. Only the hundred captains glanced at each other, and they didn't quite understand when the baron had reached the forty-third level. Tashibayi's intelligence, didn't it say that this person only had a forty-first level strength?
Seeing that only ten enemies were coming, the baron simply dismounted and waitedβbefore the sentinels could approach, a thunderclap of strings knocked the sentinels in the center to pieces. Seeing the sharpness of the enemy's attack, the sentinels slightly contracted their formation and rushed towards the baron in a denser formation. The baron smiled and waited for two seconds until the sentinels were closer to him, and then he unhurriedly spewed out a fireball that blew up the blade formation in all directions. This fireball technique not only disrupted the enemy's charge, inflicted damage on several cavalrymen, but also directly sent the seriously wounded hidden in the center of the team to the western sky.
A hundred people were stunned for a moment: "It was he who killed all the officers in the fox and chicken feather team!" We've never seen this kind of fire-based magic, have we? It's definitely him! We can't let him go! β
Baron Twilight dismounted and fought on foot, and before the cavalry rushed to his side, he had already changed into Trick's hand, and fired a series of shots, pressing the blood line of the first few cavalrymen even lower, followed by the lion's roar, the magic of the Quartet, the phoenix nodding three times, and the mad tiger going down the mountain to kill two people in a combo. Carrying the two soldiers who were awakened by him to attack, he killed the two soldiers one by one with only a basic attack. The strength of this nobleman, where it looks like forty-three, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fifty-level demonic beast!
Shi Shiran ate a pill, the baron's blood volume was almost full, shot after shot, while the rest of the people were still dizzy, he killed two more sentries with only ordinary attacks! As soon as the remaining three soldiers woke up, they found that their teammates were dead, and they dared to entangle, shouted and cursed in unison, turned their horses' heads and fled back to their own formation.
The baron mounted his horse unhurriedly and walked in the established direction.
The Calmak people looked at the baron in disbelief, and then at the two hundred captains, and when they saw that the hundred captains seemed to have no intention of pursuing, they all sighed in their hearts.
A hundred people said: "If the adventurers are all of this strength, our best choice is to withdraw now!" β
Another said: "Impossible! And it's still an aristocrat. Tashibayi made it clear that only one member of the entire adventurer's party had received the title of nobility. As long as our team does not disperse and concentrates on fighting in groups, the victory is still ours! β
The two were still delusional about victory, and they didn't know that the adventurers had gathered a team of more than three hundred level forty and waited intently for this feast of experience.
Twenty days is not a short time, and Twilight Orange fulfills its promise and contacts Guan Feidu and Little White Wolf in advance to contact Guan Feidu and Little White Wolf in advance to reach Huyang Town, and let them each lead a mercenary group of sixty people into the Kirgiz space, and stay in the wilderness between Ingisha Town and Jiangles to farm monsters. The level of monsters here is higher than that outside, and although it drops panic, the experience is quite powerful. The average level of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment is already two levels higher than the average level of the entire Twilight Continent, as evidenced by this! Twilight Orange's promise is to give everyone a chance to fight with regular NPC soldiers: there is only one chance, and if you win this battle, the average level of the participants will be increased by one level! At the current level, the amount of XP required to move up to the next level will require at least fifteen days of leveling up. Therefore, such a large-scale level increase is also an opportunity that must not be missed for the top ten guilds. These two people then led their team of cronies to quit the guild and temporarily join the Seven Swords, filling the two shell mercenary groups of the Sun Moon Sword and the Tianhe Sword that had already been registered by the Seven Swords.
Knowing that a team of nearly two hundred people of the Calmak had arrived in Ingisha, Little White Wolf and Guan Feidu knew that the opportunity was in front of them, and they were very excited: "Boss Su, my forty-meter-long broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!" When will the war start? β
"Everyone can farm monsters with peace of mind. It will take at least close to a day. If the two of them are in a hurry, they can send scouts to check on themselves. Coordinates: 89562*13652. Also, don't forget to go to Norrouz and see if you can take over this operation as a mission, maybe with extra experience. β
In less than a day, the baron began to gather all the players on either side of a valley: "A group of Kirghiz will pass through the valley later. Calmak Ouroboros in pursuit. Our mission is to ambush these two hundred-man teams of the Calmaks. These two hundred-man teams also have two hundred and three battle rank forty-five NPCs. Among them, eighteen elite templates and two quasi-** templates. Players below level 40 are best to gather six or seven men if they want to defeat an average cavalryman. Players at level forty and level forty prepare four to five players. Players who have already been inaugurated above level 40 want to gain experience in insurance, and they also need at least three people to besiege one. For the elite or **, the number of people also needs to rise. β
"Boss Su, why are there two hundred and three? If you add 100 people and 10 people long, isn't it exactly 222 people? β
"I've already killed nineteen of them. Otherwise, will I be able to rise to the forty-third level? To tell you the truth, at level thirty-nine, you can level up by killing a cavalry alone. But after forty-three levels, I killed seven at once and couldn't level up! Therefore, all players who have reached level 42 must be conscious and don't go to the head! If I find out that I am deliberately stealing someone's head, I will kick him out of the team! Including the Seven Swords Headquarters! The second requirement is only a possibility: due to the hatred between the Kyrgyz and the Kalemak, once we start a war with the Kalemak, it is possible that the Kyrgyz fighters who come out of the ambush circle will turn back and join the battle. Please take care to protect them. Because we are not afraid of death, these NPCs are one less to die! Also, if we do so, it may be easier for us to take on follow-up tasks β which is also good for everyone. Therefore, please pay attention to supervise your own members. β
Boss Su's way of playing, the little white wolf and Guan Feidu have seen and heard, knowing that he will not be untargeted, and the two agreed at the same time. The two of them also turned on the camera at the same time, and wanted to record the whole process of this battle and hand it over to the guild for reference. This was not enough, at the suggestion of Boss Su, both of them sent players with latent skills to scout in front of them and start recording in advance.
The first to enter the picture is the procession of pregnant women in Kirgiz. There were about ten horse-drawn carriages, each carrying three pregnant women, some with drivers, and some with pregnant women of lower gestational age driving themselves, hurrying through the canyon. The sound of shouting and killing was already faintly heard from the rear.
The composition of Norouzi's team is complex: there are thirty horse thieves transferred from herdsmen, who are currently of high rank and have a certain amount of combat effectiveness. The fifty junior bandits who had been transferred from Lifu were powerless in the face of the Calmaq cavalry, and could only rely on the cover of high-level horse thieves and twenty high-ranking soldiers to disguise horse thieves, fighting and retreating. These twenty high-ranking soldiers are the powerful team that the princess gave to Noruz, and they are also the main reason why Norouzi can fight and withdraw without chaos in the team.
The strength of the two hundred regular cavalry of the Calmaks has the ability to defeat the enemy on the opposite side in one blow. It's just that the commander of the hundred people feels that such a surprise attack will inevitably lose a lot of manpower, so it is better to press the other party to fight, and when the enemy can't bear the pressure and collapses, the cavalry only needs to swing the knife to achieve perfect results.
It's just that the tenacity of the enemy exceeded the expectations of a hundred people. Some of these bandits are completely inferior to the battle-hardened Kalemak soldiers. What annoyed the two centenarians even more was that several adventurer doctors mingled among the Kirgiz people, constantly wrapping bandages and delivering potions to the wounded soldiers, so that the casualties of the soldiers who were obviously superior to the other side were even higher than those of the other party.
The carriage of the Kyrgyz gradually slowed down, mixing with the horses covering the team, so that the whole team was in chaos, the front and back could not be echoed, the left and right were full of rocks, and the rout was close at hand.
Such a scuffle, of course, was not good for the Kyrgyz. Not to mention that these Kyrgyz people could not defeat two hundred Kalemaks, the on-site personnel were so mixed that even the ambush of the adventurers would be in vain.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Cheng immediately arranged: "Gather all the ranged professions to implement the division tactic, and separate the Kirgiz and Kalemak first." Then the whole army pressed on a direct attack! β
Overall, the player faithfully carried out the Baron's arrangement. The two NPCs who are fighting are not heeded: when the Kyrgyz see their ambush and kill, they all shout and turn back to fight again. The Calmaks did not panic when they found themselves close to the encirclement, and the front and rear ranks shrank to the center, quickly establishing a defensive formation. This is a tactical bonus brought by the command of the 100-man commander, compared to the battle of the Weeping Land, the poisoned Calmak people were slaughtered by a one-sided side, and the combat effectiveness of these two 100-man teams under the command of the captain has directly increased by several steps!
waited until Su Cheng found Nuorouzi, who was covered in blood, and scolded repeatedly, before he woke up this heroic figure who had fallen into a state of bloody battle: "Nuorouzi, you stupid!" All we need to do is surround each other and slowly use the terrain to shoot these Calmaks into hedgehogs without damage! Don't waste your warrior's life needlessly! β
Norouzi looked around blankly, only to find that several Kirgiz fighters had fallen in a pool of blood, and he hurriedly ordered with a cold war: "Build a defense and retreat slowly!" β
The Calmak people wanted to bite the battle situation and take advantage of the high combat power of individual soldiers to maintain the melee, or the players of the Seven Swords Headquarters sacrificed their lives to insert themselves between the two teams, using pillars of death light to separate the two sides. Seeing this scene, the little white wolf and Guan Feidu both showed ashamed expressions: their team was originally higher in order to grab experience, and it was more convenient to complete this life-sending task, but in order to leave a small life to gain experience, they missed the best time to insert, causing the sacrifice of the Seven Swords players to increase exponentially.
This was a situation that Boss Su had expected a long time ago, and he didn't bother to accuse the other party: "Hurry up and assist the NPC to establish defenses." If you want to charge, you have to wait for the Kalmak people to be killed! β
In this battle, the Kyrgyz people and the Seven Swords Mercenary Alliance had a total number of more than twice that of the Kalmaks, but more than seventy percent of the personnel were far inferior in combat effectiveness to the Kalmaks, and all the advantages were only concentrated in three aspects: First, the condescending encirclement posture. The second is the Seven Swords Headquarters, more than thirty players who have reached level forty-two and twenty palace guards. The third is that the Seven Swords and the Kirghiz have several doctors available, and they have given these people strong support when many of their own forces are overwhelmed.
After losing the initial opportunity to retreat, the Calmaks knew that they could no longer retreat safely, so they simply stabilized their formation, and while strengthening their defenses, they continued to strive to entangle themselves with the opposing warriors, hoping to gradually erode the advantage of the adventurers' large numbers and long-range strikes. However, the enthusiasm of players to upgrade is unstoppable, and several players who are seeing that their HP is running out have upgraded their battlefields and returned to full HP to join the warband, bringing an indescribable psychological blow to the people of Calmaq.
The number of adventurers' 'deaths' is much higher than that of the NPCs on the scene, but the player's characteristic is that the more they fight, the stronger they become - the rest are high-energy or well-equipped local tyrants whose combat power exceeds the level - these people can be upgraded by gathering fire and harvesting four or five heads-further improving combat effectiveness and endurance, and under the premise of continuous consumption by others, the strength gap between these people and the Calmaks is rapidly narrowed. When there were less than a hundred players left, there were only more than 30 people left in the two Calmak 100 teams, in addition to the two centenarians, there were more than a dozen ten-man captains who insisted on bloody battles.
The player will always gain the most from the person who stands at the end, everyone knows this, but they also know that the sacrifice in the early stage of the battle is inevitable, except for a sigh to the comrades who died out of the secret realm, no one flinched and timid.
Baron Twilight wanders the middle of the battlefield, only helping to catch an opponent's attack when someone needs help, and when the player with the remaining health recovers, he has already stepped aside to help the next player. Fu to the end, the prodigal son under the eaves, the wonder of the Tianshan Mountain, the young A Fei and others have the same example - just the players who are biased towards the Seven Swords Headquarters when they shoot, and keep as many people as possible from the Seven Swords Headquarters. Make sure that after this battle, these people can be collectively upgraded again.
The two Kalemak hundreds, both intelligent NPCs, knew that their defeat was assured, and began to plan a breakthrough, gathering the remaining warriors and ten captains to form a sharp arrow formation and rushing in the direction where they had originally pursued the Kyrgyz. This tactical choice is of course more clever than turning around and running, as long as you can break up the pregnant women's team in front of the Kirghiz and then overtake the Kirghiz in front of you, you can break up the pregnant women's team and block the pursuing Kirghiz and adventurers.
This tactic has surpassed the actual combat experience of Su Boss in street brawls and ring competitions, and he was praising the 'decisive charge' of the Kalemak people in his heart, when he heard Nuorouzi shouting: "Stop them at any cost!" They're going to take those pregnant women hostage! β
Players get it, too. Of course, gaining experience is important, but the glory of victory or defeat in battle has exceeded everyone's need for experience, and blood ** and bandages are put together, and a strong embankment is built with life to block the Kalemaka people in the middle of the canyon.
In Jin Jiu's perspective, Su Cheng found that the two hundred-man war horses quietly distanced themselves from the ten-man commanders who were charging in front of him: "The hundred-man commander wants to escape!" The leaders of the mercenary regiments pursued with me. The members cooperated with Norrouz to kill the remaining soldiers. β
Guan Feidu discovered this problem almost at the same time, and without waiting for Su Cheng to order, he had already rushed to the war horse to join Su Cheng: "White wolf, go down the drain, Pamir Eagle, and Chuxue follow!" β
The whole team was divided into two parts: several of the leaders of the mercenary group pursued the two centennial commanders at the same time, and the rest of the men mixed with the Kirghiz warriors to surround the ten captains of Kalemak even tighter.
The 100-man commander not only far surpassed their subordinates in combat effectiveness and wisdom, but also had better equipment on their mounts, and at this time they turned around and ran, and their speed was much faster than that of their subordinates.
Chasing is something that must be chased. The leaders of the various mercenary regiments are also golden-grade mounts, and there is not much difference in speed, and the uneven team of six people is far away, and they can't catch up for a while, but they don't pull down much. The players who stayed in place to besiege the ten-man team were happy: the hundred-man commander fled the battlefield, the morale of the dozen ten-man commanders and soldiers dropped sharply, and the offensive and defensive levels fell to a level. Baron Twilight also upgrades on the spot, reaching level forty-four.
The result was immediately known to the hundred-man chief. The two reined in their horses and began to wait for the pursuers: "Do you think that the Khan will send two hundred cavalry to carry out the same task without leaving any means after losing two hundred cavalry?" β
The six mercenary bosses were stunned at the same time, and Guan Feidu said: "This is the tone of a hindsight!" β
The little white wolf smiled: "No matter what other tricks he has, I still don't believe that the six of us can't kill these two hundred people!" β
"I've stopped the big force behind." Boss Su waved his hand: "There is no big mistake in being careful." Momoko went up and asked. β
Put away the war horse and take out his bloody guard: "Safety first!" Everyone looks wrong, do it immediately, don't worry about me! β
A few white eyes: What do you care? Two forty-five-level quasi-**, and the ability to kill you in seconds, a forty-two-level, gold-clad player?
It seems that no one cares about the safety of the send. Sighing in vain, he still stood at the front of the line: "I don't know what your Khan King has planned. Anyway, if you can kill a pregnant woman without evidence, your Khan King is a born wolf! When my strength is enough, even one person will have to meet this brutal guy, not to mention that we are now outnumbered? β
The Centurion also did not seem to be pleased with the Khan's killing of the pregnant woman, and avoided talking about it: "The Khan gave us an insurance. Even if we can't beat you, we are sure that we will die with you! β
The little white wolf has always been good at sowing discord, and said at the right time: "Your Khan King belongs to that insurance company?" Is the means given to you to complete the mission at the cost of your life? β
The 100-man commander didn't know that the king of Khan belonged to the insurance company, and they didn't even know what the insurance company was: "It is a matter of course for a soldier to die for the mission!" This sentence is awe-inspiring, and the second sentence exposes his greedy nature and fear of death: "Who wants to die? If it weren't for the Khan's tricks being too poisonous and affecting ourselves, we would have killed you all in the canyon a long time ago! After speaking, he took out a scroll: "Do you see it?" Black Dragon Summoning Volume! As soon as I tear open the scroll, I can summon a black dragon, and a single breath of dragon breath can spray you into slag! β
"Then why don't you use it?" The crowd was strange.
The hundred-man leader looked at his comrades with a little embarrassment: "This scroll is considered a defective product, and it has a serious shortcoming. That is, except for the person who tears the scroll, everyone else will be listed as an attackable target by the black dragon, and perform an indiscriminate dragon breath spit. So no one wants to use this thing unless we are ready to use it. β
"It's not that you're not ready, it's not that anyone is worried about the other party's use of this scroll!" Boss Su debunked the thoughts of the two of them with one word, and the next words shook the hearts of the two even more: "Black Dragon? It's a guy called Tiramisu, right? Let's take a look at this! "After speaking, Boss Su took out his shadow and slashed into the void, only to see a sword light flash, and a black dragon phantom composed of extremely faint black smoke appeared with the sword light, followed by the sword light and swooped forward, and then dissipated." It was forged from the blood of the black dragon tiramisu as a quenching thing! I'd be afraid of its phantom? "It's not that Boss Su is overconfident, but he knows that ordinary summoning techniques can't summon summons that are higher than the summoner's own, these two forty-five level quasi-**, even if they use the system to cheat, they can at most increase the level of the summon limitedly, and it is impossible to summon summons with a level of more than fifty-five. Taking a step back, even if these two hundred-person leaders were able to summon a level 55 tiramisu with a maximum level of level, the few people in front of them were sure that they had carried the first blow.
