Chapter 718: Guarding the Mountaintop
The moment he saw the four-legged tripod, Yang Rui was almost certain that the thing projecting a huge majesty in front of him was the holy weapon of the Three Kingdoms civilization - the four-legged Qiankun Ding!
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player Lieyang for completing the first phase of the quest to find the Three Kingdoms Civilization Sacred Artifact [Four-Legged Qiankun Ding], the task conditions have changed, and after a quarter of an hour, you will face the joint attack of the native community monsters of Jinding Mountain and the NPC forces of the five princes of Jinding Island, and if you successfully repel the enemy, you will finally complete the task and obtain the [Four-Legged Qiankun Ding] ......"
The system didn't leave Yang Rui much time to observe the four-legged Qiankun Ding in front of him, and soon a system prompt came, and then Yang Rui asked to face the joint attack of the original community monsters and the five princely NPC forces!
Originally, Yang Rui took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides to take the top of Jinding Mountain, which was equivalent to being a fisherman, but he never thought that he would eventually face the two major forces on Jinding Island, and some of the link systems would not make people take it lightly.
The only difference is that at this time, Yang Rui has already occupied the top of Jinding Mountain, and the shape of attack and defense has just undergone a change.
However, whether it is the five princely forces or the native monster community of Jinding Mountain, Yang Rui has little chance of winning against him alone, not to mention that the two have to join forces at this time!
Yang Rui's only advantage at present is the second cliff of the original Jinding Mountain, and the annular high point in the central area of the top of the mountain can only be used as the last line of defense, and cannot be used as the main defensive position.
So as soon as Yang Rui received the system prompt, he urgently ordered Guo Jia to arrange the Eight Golden Lock Array. It covered the open space on the top of the entire Jinding Mountain, and arranged another set of four-elephant maze arrays on the other half of the mountaintop, and all the three major formations were used.
And several major formations are almost Yang Rui's biggest killer moves. Due to the limitation of the carrying capacity of flying pets, the cloud ladder and large national collapse equipment in Yang Rui's hands could not be put on the top of Jinding Mountain, and the power of Yang Rui's troops was also limited to a large extent.
Fortunately, almost all of Yang Rui's ordinary soldiers were equipped with hunting bows, and with the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array, as well as the second cliff of Jinding Mountain, the other party could not win lightly!
At the beginning, it was the dense forest and the cliff that blocked the attack of the five princely forces, and just a moment ago, all the soldiers of their subordinates were still blocked by the monsters of the original community in front of the cliff. It can be seen that the natural danger here is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's just that there is still a distance between the cliff and the top of the mountain, and the buffer zone in the middle is full of trees, which is originally very suitable for the defense of the monsters of the native community. However, in the case of Yang Rui's subordinates, it was the opposite.
Therefore, Yang Rui controlled the edge of the defense within the empty annular area on the top of the mountain, and the entire Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array only covered this area, and the cliff could only act as a buffer at this time.
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
“……”
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the original community monsters that were originally at the two ends of the cliff had merged with the five princely forces. All of them were placed below the cliff. At this time, they are roaring and climbing up the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"
“……”
During the whole process of the enemy climbing the rock, Yang Rui's troops waited quietly, until the other party emerged from the edge of the cliff, and some arrows were shot from the top of the mountain.
The range of the 20,000 Rank 6 archers in Yang Rui's group can almost cover the buffer zone between the top of the mountain and the cliff, but the number of archers at this level is too small, and they can only reduce some of the enemies who cross the cliff.
The range of ordinary soldiers armed with hunting bows is relatively limited, and the distance they can cover is less than one-third of the buffer zone, and it is obviously impossible to control the number of enemies rushing up to the cliff.
The only thing that can form an effective defense against the cliff is the nearly 6,000 flying pets that Yang Rui's soldiers have subdued. At this time, after more than 100 round-trip projection of troops, most of Yang Rui's troops were put on the top of Jinding Mountain. These flying pets are also very tired, not to mention that there are other classes among the enemies that can threaten their safety!
Therefore, Yang Rui did not put this part of the flying pets into defense, but only made them still stay in the previous valley, and Yang Rui did not plan to put these flying pets into battle unless he had to.
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"
“……”
After the blockage of the cliff, the enemy forces attacking the mountain would not gather too quickly, and many of them were shot and killed by Yang Rui's sixth-order archers as soon as they appeared, and the speed of their advance was naturally not too fast.
However, as time goes by, the number of enemies climbing the cliff continues to increase, especially the native community monsters, Jinding Mountain was originally its nest, and it is also determined that it is more adapted to the terrain, plus there are still a certain number of flying monsters remaining, and the number of enemies in the buffer zone above the cliff is slowly increasing.
The NPC soldiers of the primitive monsters mixed with the five princely forces pressed up, Rao was killed by the dense rain of arrows after entering the range of the archers, and a considerable part of them rushed to the edge of the mountain, directly impacting the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.
At this time, Guo Jia's method of arranging the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was almost the same as that in Aguarabas City, and it was still the layout method of the Eight Gates, which corresponded to the two directions of Qiankun respectively, and the less threatening door opening was still presided over by Yang Rui, and Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Xu You, Dian Wei, and Yu Ban each guarded the Du Gate, the Death Gate, the Wounded Gate, the Shock Gate, and the Closed Gate.
The only difference is that at this time, there are flying monsters in the native community among the opponents faced by Yang Rui's troops, and the Shengmen of the Qianzhi position has become a real Shengmen, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array does not have much restraint on the flying monsters, it only has the effect of confusing.
Fortunately, the leader of the flying monster should be the bald bird that died in the previous battle, and without the monster leader's existence, the confusion effect of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array and the Four Elephants Maze seems to have discouraged the big bird monsters, and they can't detect the real path, and most of them only hover back and forth in the sky.
At the same time, the number of flying monsters that remain is not too large, and the scale is only a few thousand, even if some of them occasionally break into the large array, it is not impossible to deal with.
In this case, although the number of the alliance formed by the original community monsters and the NPCs of the five princely forces was nearly 10 times that of Yang Rui's troops, after the blockage of the natural barrier of the cliff and the consumption of the rain of arrows on the way, the enemies who really hit the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array were not very hit.
If you look down from the sky, Yang Rui's troops on the top of Jinding Mountain at this time are like a rock, and the enemies attacking the mountain are like waves constantly surging and slapping up, although they are surging and vast, they are not very turbulent. (To be continued......)
