Chapter 205: A Trick to Lure the Enemy
Looking at Li Taishan, who was wielding two battle axes in front of him, Ma Yi and Fei Bing looked at each other very tacitly, and saw a little helplessness in their eyes, and then sighed in unison.
They are all teammates who have been together for many years, and they are very familiar with Li Taishan's temper and habits, and it can be seen from the way he wields the tomahawk now that he must be very hot now. I thought that the change that happened just now would ease the tense atmosphere between the two sides, but I didn't expect that in the end, there was a deviation. I really don't know if that guy named Li Ran really didn't know or did it on purpose! []
As fewer and fewer creatures were encountered along the way, Li Ran and the others knew that they were not far from the target stronghold. In this kind of wild environment, you suddenly find that the surrounding creatures have become scarce or even gone, which can only prove two situations, one is that there are lord-level creatures or bosses nearby, and the other is that there are villages and tribes nearby.
After destroying another sixth-order swamp newt, Li Ran and the others finally saw the target stronghold behind a big tree.
Judging from the appearance alone, the stronghold here is not only small compared to other villages and towns. Even the defenses seem to be much rudimentary. Its perimeter is not made of the most common stones. Rather, it is made of some not-so-tall branches. Maybe because it hasn't been taken care of for a long time, there are still a lot of vine-like plants growing on it.
A classic example of the Swamp Clan, the center of the colony is a pyramid-shaped council chamber, the only non-wooden building in the entire colony. The whole body is made of a large yellow-brown stone, which is particularly striking from a distance.
At this time, they did not bother to choose a drier road to walk, and along the most overgrown weeds, everyone walked cautiously towards the stronghold built in the swamp.
According to the Shen Group's previous practice, everyone could first squat in the field and eliminate the living forces from inside and outside the stronghold as much as possible.
The clansmen who have not returned for a long time will definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party. At this time, they will send some troops out to patrol. At this point, you can try to eliminate them outside. Until there are not enough troops in the stronghold, that is, when they launch a general attack on the stronghold.
However, what made the Shen Group depressed was that they had done very well at the beginning of each time, and the first one or two batches of inspection teams sent by the other party could also be solved. But the troops will suffer heavy casualties as a result. After all, the resurrection technique of the existing priest can only resurrect one or two troops at most in a day. Some simply can't wait and disappear. At this time, they will fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting fewer troops. There is no way to attack the stronghold at all.
The best experience was when after eliminating a large patrol team, the other party did not dare to send another patrol team. It was only after the two regiment commanders thought that there were not many troops in the stronghold and dared to attack with their teammates that they found that they were surrounded by a group of monitor lizards as soon as they entered the stronghold, and there were lizard archers with longbows everywhere. Not to mention the grey dwarf riding a war bear.
It was at that time that they suffered heavy losses, not only did the ninth-order troops of the two regiment commanders have only one Thunderbird left by Li Taishan, but even the other core members also suffered heavy losses, completely losing the ability to complete this task chain alone. Several well-known teams invited by them in the following times also returned, which also made their strength even worse.
`
Li Ran and his teammates still agreed with the tactics of the Shen Group, and decided to continue this method again, but made some adjustments in the implementation.
Li Ran, Wu Tongtong and Dream Xinyue, who received the task, the three of them stuck to a dry bush. The other six people were divided into two groups to hunt on both sides, and when they encountered few people, they were killed directly, and when they encountered many people, they were led to the middle, and Li Ran and others recalled another group of people to surround them.
The only advantage of this tactic is that it moves quickly, and in a short time you receive a message that both teams are facing the enemy. Looking at the number of kills reported by the two teams alternately, Li Ran had to frequently remind them to be careful!
After a few hours like this, Li Ran found that the two teams had not reported the enemy information for a long time, and hurriedly summoned them back to gather. This long period of absence from the enemy only means that the guys in the stronghold already know about their arrival.
Sure enough, not long after the two squads returned, through the Eagle Eye Technique, they saw a neat line of hundreds of people skipped from a distance, and in front of the team were nearly fifty gray dwarf warriors, these gray dwarf warriors wore steel helmets, spears, and war hammers at their waists. It can be said that it is armed to the teeth.
Behind the grey dwarf warriors were more than thirty of the lizard's most commendable archers, dressed in leather armor, armed with longbows, and carrying quivers. Strange eyes and good physical condition make them all capable of walking through the poplars, especially their characteristic webbed toes, which can make them walk on muddy roads.
And the gray dwarves who walked behind the lizard archers were still grays. It's just that these dozen gray dwarves are not the ones in front of them, each of them rode a tall war bear, and the name became the war bear cavalry.
The group was not very fast, and as they went, the Grey Dwarven Warrior Captain occasionally stabbed his spear into the shadows in the shade of the trees. Apparently a standard patrol team.
Unexpectedly, such a large patrol team was sent to the stronghold at the beginning of this time, and everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
"What's going on? We've never encountered anything like this, and the patrol team usually doesn't have more than 50 people at the beginning," Ma Yi hurriedly explained
"Maybe it's because the same tactics were used too much before, and it's normal for them to be vigilant" Li Ran thought for a while and said: "Now it's only according to the original plan, everyone chooses a good position, and when they come over, they try to eliminate them first"
Everyone can be said to be masters of the third world, and at this time, without Li Ran's orders, they all chose a suitable position for themselves and took out long-range weapons from their backpacks.
Wu Tongtong chose to squat behind a fallen tree, and after a while, she saw Fei Bing also come over, obviously she also took a fancy to the location here.
Waiting is always difficult, Wu Tongtong, who has nothing to do, found that Fei Bing seemed to be a little nervous, and couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, don't worry, we will definitely be able to go over this time!" ”
Seeing that his nervous expression was seen by outsiders, as the deputy head of the mercenary group, Fei Bing sighed a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Alas~ I am also anxious about this task, if I can't get over this task again, so many brothers and sisters in the group will be scolded with us!" If you don't do it, you will be deducted from your salary. You know, we've encountered this kind of team of more than 100 people twice before, but in the end, the mission was canceled due to excessive casualties."
Seeing Fei Bing's confession, Wu Tongtong, who is also a third-world professional, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Who says it's not, if you want to blame it, you can only blame this task for being too bt, not only limiting the number of people, but also controlling the number of recruits, and you can't even call a soldier after the class dies!" ”
Fei Bing said very approvingly: "That is to say, it is because of this limitation that I said that this task is too difficult for now."
Seeing Ma Yi's gesture on the tree, Wu Tongtong hurriedly sank his body down, and at the same time said softly to Fei Bing: "They are here!" Don't worry, we'll do our best! ”
Hearing Wu Tongtong's serious words, Fei Bing couldn't help but smile and nodded.
The battle began with the sound of a thunderbird, accompanied by a pale blue electric light, which hit a lizard archer walking in the middle of the line from top to bottom, causing chaos.
However, even then, the Thunderbird's second blow was not delivered, as the Lizard Archer's arrows flew past it several times.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, it was not easy to make the overlord of the sky, the Thunderbird, so jealous, and the lizard archer. You must know that when the wings of the Thunderbird are stirred in flight, there will be a strong cyclone around it, and the arrows fired by many archers cannot threaten them at all, but the long arrows shot by the lizard archers can go straight through this cyclone, which is really a bit extraordinary.
Just as many lizard archers were busy aiming at the Thunderbird, and their bodies unconsciously turned around, a large number of hidden weapons suddenly flew out of the jungle. These hidden weapons vary in size and variety, ranging from small darts and arrows to large axes and boulders. However, their only target at this point is the lizard archers who walk in the middle of the group.
Because their bodies were all turned around under the lure of the Thunderbird, the lizard archers, who had no dodge or block, suffered the biggest blow. After a round of attacks, several people have already fallen, and here I have to say that the Catapult is strong again, and each of his attacks will cause serious casualties to the opponent.
Under the shouts of one of the oldest war bear knights, the team that was suddenly hit by this was divided into two teams of nearly fifty gray dwarf warriors in front, one team brandished a war hammer and rushed towards the woods on Li Ran's side, while the other team retreated to the side of the lizard archers, slowly advancing with the large army.
After several long-range attacks, Li Ran and the others, who were guarding behind the woods, rushed towards the gray dwarves in the front row. Because the troops are divided into two places, the proportion of troops on both sides is basically the same at this time.
Although the four members of the Shen Group also participated in the battle, they were very skeptical about the feasibility of this style of play at this moment, because it was almost the same as their previous battle method, and those few times undoubtedly ended in failure. ~~~~~ your message, even if it is only one (*^-^*), it will become the motivation for the author to write, and the recommendation or collection you click on after reading it will become the reason for the author to write ~~~~
