Chapter 558: But make the dragon city fly in
Outside the Yuquan Pass, the corner of the morning sun has just been revealed, and the players have begun to show some walking figures in the three lines of defense built outside the Yuquan Pass. These players come from various guilds, but at this point they have temporarily left their guild identities behind and become each other's comrades-in-arms, working together to defend against enemies from the depths of the barbarian territory.
In order to prepare for this big battle, the players in the entire Huaxia District have entered a state of intense preparation, and after a whole night of equipment, the players in the Yuquan Pass have checked all the materials and equipment that need to be confirmed. Many of them were veteran players who had participated in the Black Dragon Cult rebellion, and although they didn't act too nervous, they also suppressed the excitement in their hearts.
As for those newcomers who participated in this kind of large-scale battle for the first time, they were already so excited that they kept swiping posts on the forum since the morning, or showing off their experience of being able to participate in defensive battles, or opening live posts on it for players who could not participate in it to popularize science.
Due to the number of players that can be carried in the Yuquan Pass, there is only a limit of one million people. At three o'clock in the morning today, the system closed the passage from the northwest region to Yuquan Pass, and all the players who were qualified to participate in the war were divided into two parts, the first part was bounded by 500,000 people, directly preparing for the battle on the front line of Yuquan Pass, and the other 500,000 players were put into the guild station on the outskirts of Yuquan Pass, as a reserve army on standby.
This is a big battle that not everyone can participate in, but it will definitely attract the attention of all players, and from this moment on, all players stopped their activities and stayed in front of the video screen broadcast by the system, watching everything that was about to happen in Yuquan Pass.
At this time, in Yuquan Pass, the presidents of the major guilds also went online early and started their busiest day.
Blazing Feather climbed the fortifications of the first line of defense, and he looked at the calm horizon from afar, then opened his mouth and yawned. He had a tired look on his face, and it was clear that he hadn't slept very well last night. Unlike the excitement of ordinary players, his heart was filled with a certain worry.
According to the news brought back by the last group of scouting players last night, until 3 o'clock in the morning, all preparations for the system stopped, and the barbarian army on the opposite side still did not stop moving. According to the feedback from scouting players, they even found some soldiers from the barbarian army that they had never seen before.
From all indications, the barbarian army that attacked Yuquan Pass this time was definitely more than one million. However, due to the limitations of the system, the upper limit of players participating in the battle on the side of Yuquan Pass has been set to death, and nearly 100,000 of them are life players who provide logistical supplies, so the actual number of players participating in the war is much smaller than expected.
If you only rely on the existing defensive forces, you may not be able to survive the first round of attacks, but as the opponent's follow-up forces begin to attack, sooner or later they will be pushed to the side of the city gate for the final battle. It's just that at that time, there are still few players left in Yuquan Pass who can be used as combat power.
Lie Yu Hongtu covered the wooden railing in front of him with both hands, and couldn't help but sigh. The lightning storm beside him saw his expression, noticed his strangeness, and tried to persuade him, but soon he realized that no matter what he said now, it would be useless, so he had to shut his mouth stupidly.
At this time, nearly a kilometer away from the first line of defense, the heavy pupil team led by Nothing else hibernated on a sand dune, acting as a reconnaissance team. This arrangement can be regarded as a capricious arrangement for nothing, and he, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, should not have stayed in such a place.
For the doubts of others, the explanation for nothing is very simple, he did not hesitate to waste a few resurrection places, in order to be able to find out the other party's bottom in the first time, and the next arrangements will not be rushed. However, he himself knew better than anyone that he would do this, just to be able to take a look at the other party's formation, and he was somewhat mentally prepared.
The members of the Heavy Pupil Team crouched on the sand dunes, and a beetle slowly crawled in front of them, and the distant morning light sprinkled on the beetle's back carapace, reflecting a beautiful halo. Nothing to do without eyes over the beetle's back and staring at the distant horizon, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, as if to relieve the fatigue of his eyes, but this was the game, so his movements were more to hide the tension in his heart.
"It's coming!"
Chiyangzi beside him whispered, which made the whole person excited, and quickly put down his hand and stared at the front with all his attention.
Sure enough, a faint murmur came from afar, sounding like countless war drums beating at the same time. The sound soon approached where they were, and the rattle of horses' hooves could be heard more clearly.
The first thing that appeared in front of them was a gust of wind and sand flying like a sandstorm, followed by a burst of arrows that covered a range of tens of meters in front of them.
Chiyangzi got up abruptly to avoid it, but pulled him abruptly out of nothing, and then motioned for the others to continue the ambush. At this time, the arrows began to rain down, directly hitting their bodies, and instantly hit several people with bared teeth. However, they soon realized that the arrow seemed to be just a tentative attack from the other side.
These barbarian cavalry are really cautious.
Ado did nothing in his heart, and then motioned to a few people around him to step back and continue to shrink behind the sand dune. Nothing happened, he changed directions, looked out through the barren grass of the dunes, and finally saw the vanguard of the barbarian army.
A thousand-strong barbarian archers advanced forward in two columns in a half-moon shape, and they continued to shoot arrows in the direction of Yuquan Pass at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, as if to confirm whether there was anything unusual in the area ahead. After rushing to a large sand dune, they stopped where they were, regrouped in a phalanx, and waited for the follow-up troops to approach.
Turning his gaze to the other side, he saw another group of light cavalry following up, advancing in a goose-shaped formation against the archers in front.
"Send the news back, and say that the advance force of the barbarian army is coming, and the configuration is 1,000 archer cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry, and there are 500 spear light cavalry among the light cavalry, it should be just to test our details." Nothing to do quickly made his own judgment, "Let Lie Yu Hongtu's side send a mixed team of two thousand people to stop them in front of the No. 1 defense line, and don't let them get too close to the No. 1 defense line for the time being." Otherwise, they will find out the details of us. ”
"Understood!" Situ Ziyan, who was in charge of conveying the message, nodded, and then slipped down the sand dunes, calling out the communication interface to send a message to Lie Yu Hongtu.
"Chiyoko, did you take a screenshot just now?" Nothing to do casually asked.
Chiyangzi nodded hurriedly: "It's done, I also sorted out the attack data of the first round of arrows just now, their attack power is the same as those level 70 barbarian cavalry that they usually kill, it seems that this round of strengthening monsters has not yet been played." ”
"Good." Nothing to do, nodded, "Send the data and the screenshot just now to Qing Zijin, let him compare the database, see if this batch of barbarian troops responsible for fighting the vanguard belongs to that barbarian tribe, see if you can get their branch of the army, and then let the coalition army in charge of guerrilla do a good job of career adjustment." ”
Chiyangzi nodded and didn't say anything more, and directly started to get busy.
After arranging everything else, he said to the two brothers on the left and right: "Ah Zuo Ah right, follow me around to the sand dunes in front, I plan to see what else is behind." ”
The left-handed and right-handed brother nodded and slid down the dunes with him, and then followed the grass between the dunes towards the dunes further ahead.
At this time, the battle group sent by Lie Yu Hongtu on the other side had already met with three thousand barbarian cavalry, officially starting the first battle between the player and the barbarian army.
