Hokkaido, Nakatun Island.

After Liu Cheng cleared the [Bloody Battle Dusong Pass] in the simple mode, he rested for a day and recuperated his spirits, and immediately started the challenge (normal mode) on the second day.

In Normal mode, the difficulty of the dungeon has increased considerably.

First of all, the enemy's generals, in simple mode, there are only three generals on Dusongguan, Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin, and Wei Heng.

In the normal mode, the guards of Dusongguan not only increased their strength from the original 60 to 70, but also added Li Tianyou, Zhang Jian, Zhang Tao, and Yao Yi in number, and their strength was also 70.

The strength of the generals has been improved, and it is naturally impossible for their soldiers to remain unchanged.

The number of soldiers on Dusong Pass has increased from 3,000 to 5,000, and the number of troops has also increased from 15 to 20.

In fact, at this time, Dusong Pass was very difficult for Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng still maintains an advantage in the strength of the generals, but in terms of soldiers, Liu Cheng [Outstanding Pirates] and [Daming Water Army] combined, there are only about 3,000 people at present, and the remaining 2,000 Liu Cheng can only use Qingzhou pawns to make up the number.

In this way, Liu Cheng's soldiers' military advantage is not very large, coupled with the other party's geographical advantage, if Liu Cheng wants to come hard in this battle, it is estimated that he will be able to take Dusong Pass, but Liu Cheng will also suffer heavy losses.

You must know that Liu Cheng is not aiming for a strategy copy at this time, and the copy is now a resource point in his eyes.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Cheng aimed to minimize his own losses and maximize profits, and in this case, Liu Cheng could not come recklessly.

However, the (normal difficulty) dungeon did not stop Liu Cheng for long, and he quickly came up with a strategy to break the enemy.

Liu Cheng divided his army into two parts, and he and Qin Yangwu attracted the enemy's attention in front, while sending Liu Dali and other generals and about 500 elites to bypass the mountain.

The two sides agreed on a time, and both sides attacked at the same time.

Liu Cheng's move is basically the move used by Lu Junyi to win Dusong Pass, Lu Junyi can win Dusong Pass, facing Liu Cheng, who is weaker than Lu Junyi's opponent and doesn't know how much, has no reason not to take it at this time.

Liu Cheng contained the main force here, and Liu Dali fought in strongly, and the two parties teamed up to easily win Dusong Pass.

And this time, Liu Cheng had an extra mind, not only did he leave the main force of the group of soldiers in Dusong Pass as much as possible, but Liu Cheng was even ready to recruit those guards.

The seven guards were not die-hard loyalists either, and soon some surrendered.

However, Liu Cheng didn't remember to be happy yet, and the system gave him a hint that the dungeon guards could not be obtained by means of captives, and the dungeon could not be ended without killing these guards.

Hearing this system prompt, Liu Cheng checked and was about to scold his mother, and in the end, he had no choice but to kill the seven guards with a knife in his hand.

After cutting down the seven guards, the system prompt popped up again and asked Liu Cheng if he was going to start settling the dungeon rewards.

Liu Cheng, who was cheated once, of course could not choose to be sure at this time, but the system did not have too many loopholes for Liu Cheng to drill in this aspect.

Regarding this one, Liu Cheng only has two choices, one is to settle immediately, and the other is to settle after five hours.

In other words, after Liu Cheng took the copy, he only had five hours to scrape.

Seeing this situation, Liu Cheng's face immediately darkened, and it was obvious that he had been cheated by the system again.

If he had known that he would have had five hours left to kill Shou himself, Liu Cheng would definitely not have done so early.

But the matter has come to this point, and Liu Cheng has no choice but to collect the materials as much as possible in these five hours.

Five hours later, Liu Cheng was once again teleported out of the dungeon space by the system, and at the same time, the system also began to settle the dungeon rewards, and this time Liu Cheng's harvest was much more than that of the (easy difficulty) dungeon.

In terms of dungeon clearance rewards, Liu Cheng obtained two [Random Treasure Chests], 500,000 repair points, and 5 million [Free Class Experience].

In terms of material gains, Liu Cheng took 3,111 Song soldiers prisoners in the dungeon, took control of the military warehouse in Dusong Pass, and obtained 100,000 stone grain and 500,000 gold.

On the soldier side, all soldiers who participated in the battle gained 8000 experience points.

After this wave of experience, the two thousand Qingzhou soldiers under Liu Cheng directly advanced to become Qingzhou soldiers, and their attributes have also been greatly improved, and their strength has been increased to 25, but there is still no skill in terms of skills.

On the side of [Outstanding Pirate] and [Daming Water Army], these two classes still haven't advanced after eating two waves of experience in succession.

However, Liu Cheng also saw through their attributes that these two classes have reached a critical point of advancement, as long as Liu Cheng can do another wave, he should be able to advance directly after clearing the difficult [Blood Battle Dusong Pass] these two classes.

In fact, not only have the two arms of [Outstanding Pirate] and [Daming Water Army] reached the critical point of advancement, but the generals under Liu Cheng's command who have participated in these two copies in a row have also improved a lot in these two battles.

Among them, the biggest improvement is undoubtedly Zhou Cang, after two battles, Zhou Cang's force has directly increased from 60 to 80, which is simply amazing.

And Li Kaijiang and Luo Feng's improvement is not small, and now their strength has also come to 88 and 87, according to the current trend, it is very likely that the strength of the two of them will soar directly to 90.

If they can really advance to 90, there will be as many as four first-class generals under Liu Cheng's command, and even if they face Guan Canghai at that time, Liu Cheng will be able to crush them with numerical advantages.

And Liu Chengcheng saw such a bright prospect, so after he cleared the normal difficulty [Bloody Battle Dusong Pass], Liu Chengcheng soon started the challenge of hard mode.

And when Liu Cheng started the challenge in hard mode, as soon as he entered the dungeon, the system sent him the information of his opponent this time.

The guards of Dusong Pass are still the same 7, but the strength has been greatly improved, and the strength of the 7 people has all increased to more than 80.

And the soldiers under their command have also increased from the original 5,000 to 10,000, and the strength of the soldiers has increased from the original 20 to 25.

These two improvements alone made Liu Cheng very dumbfounded, and what surprised him even more was yet to come.

In difficult mode, there was actually a city-guarding device on Dusong Pass, of course, if it was an ordinary city-guarding device, Liu Cheng didn't care very much, but the crux of the problem was that there was actually an artillery gun on Dusong Pass, and Liu Chengcheng was completely stunned.

……………………

ps: In the Water Margin, Dusongguan does have artillery, and Dong Ping was scratched by the artillery, and he lost his life because he was eager to take revenge.

In addition, Desert Islands do not contain a large number of firearms, nor do they have a tech tree that ignites firearms
