After some complacency, I turned my attention back to the battle in front of me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I noticed that the opposing infantry was armed with extra-long special spears and stabbed our cavalry, which seemed to be handy, and it was obvious that they had come prepared.

"Fight and retreat, reline and charge again." I gave the latest instructions on the Gang Channel and NPC Channel.

Our cavalry began to retreat consciously, but the opponent held on tightly, preventing my tactical intent from being carried out.

"Brethren, go around from the flanks and blast their." I said to the players around me and the people of Lao Ye Mountain, and then I took the lead in taking action with the reins - the situation forced me to give the order to rush out, and I no longer cared about my personal safety.

The crowd followed me and galloped to the flanks.

The other side noticed our movements, so they immediately took corresponding countermeasures, and the spear infantry broke away from the battle group and leaned close together, and the spearhead was united to the outside, creating a strong and extremely lethal barrier to provide protection for the cavalry.

"Grandma's, fight with them, as long as you break through the opponent's defense, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and the dead will be rewarded with 1,000 taels!" I shouted hoarsely.

"The reward for the dead is 1,000 taels, which sounds so joyful." Xiao Jian laughed.

"The NPCs don't think there's anything wrong, what are you spitting out?" Yu Xuan glared at Xiao Jian and said.

The more than 2,000 players around me seemed to have been beaten with blood, their eyes were red, and their muscles were bursting up, and they all accelerated to the front of the line, shouting and rushing into the spear formation.

The NPCs are not stupid, no one takes the lead for the 1,000 taels of gold that they can't get, and they all unconsciously make way for the players.

As soon as the hundreds of players in the front row rushed into the spear formation, they were instantly pierced into hedgehogs, and all of them turned into puffs of green smoke and returned to the spawn point.

The casualties of the players in the second row have been greatly reduced, and the third row has eliminated a few unlucky ones, and the vast majority of them have broken through the defense line and trampled the infantry in front of the opposing team to a pulp.

After the defensive formation collapsed, the opposing infantry became fish and meat, and had to be ravaged by our cavalry.

The infantrymen threw off their armor and fled in all directions, and we rode our camels back and forth to chase and trample, enjoying themselves and gradually destroying them.

"The spawn point is at the entrance to the valley." One of the gang members reported the latest information on the gang channel.

"Well, continue to rush after the resurrection, don't be afraid of death, I will compensate you well afterwards." I made a promise on the gang channel.

After the opponent's infantry died, the opponent's cavalry held out for more than half an hour and was completely annihilated.

We killed more than 5,000 people at the cost of more than 4,000 casualties, which doesn't seem to be much of a big advantage from the data alone, but only a few hundred NPCs died, so this battle is essentially a big victory for our side.

At the same time, the battle to defend the mountain was not optimistic, the terrain was not precipitous, and the opponent had more than 20,000 people, so our situation was precarious.

Our ability to hold out for so long was entirely due to the condescending and continuous blows of the first and fourth columns of crossbowmen.

One thing I had to admire was my foresight - before setting out, I ordered all the players to act as porters and bring as many arrows as possible, so that in the event of a battle, the crossbowmen could be replenished as soon as they ran out of arrows, thus ensuring the crossbowmen's long-lasting combat effectiveness.

Ballistae also played a significant role as an auxiliary tool, firing far less frequently than bows and crossbows, but they were incredibly powerful, and an arrow could pierce several people and crucify them to the ground after being shot into a pile.

The shieldbearer is very effective at fending off all kinds of ranged attacks from the bottom of the mountain, creating a safety barrier for our personnel, and even if someone is injured, the healers will recharge their health in time to ensure that everyone is at full health.

The opponent was several times outnumbered by us, and the intensity of the attack was quite large, but our dense and continuous arrows made it impossible to make a substantial breakthrough for the time being.

However, crossbowmen are not iron-clad, and their physical strength is gradually exhausted by long-term and high-frequency shooting, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

The second column responsible for blocking the road at the mouth of the canyon was a little easier, because only a few of the opponent's fish that escaped the net were able to escape the attack of the crossbowmen to reach the end of the canyon, but once they reached the end of the canyon, these lucky ones would be attacked by the second column, and their lives would come to an end.

"Brother, we can't hold out for long, you lead people to continue to break through, and then go inside, the mountains are more steep, and it is more suitable to hold on." Wu Lin Hongru sent me a message and said.

"Brother, you yourself said that it is more suitable to hold on, and we may not be able to attack it for a while." I replied.

"As soon as possible, our side will be fully supported until the last moment." Wu Lin Hongru said.

Without further ado, I immediately ordered everyone in the valley to regroup, and then rushed to the next line of defense.

The only way up the mountain is a canyon, about 1 mile long, more than 20 meters deep, only a few meters wide, the terrain is steep, the road is rugged, and it can only be walked.

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are covered with shrubs and weeds, and the ambushes of the Qinglian Gang can be seen looming in them.

"I'm in dire need of shieldmen, archers, and ballistas, send me some." I sent a message to Wu Lin Hongru.

5 ballistas, 50 shieldmen, 50 archers, and 50 players carrying arrows for them to report for duty.

I ordered the shield-bearers to raise their shields above their heads, the archers and healers to hide under their shields, and the vanguard slowly advanced inward, while the others followed them 20 meters away, trembling.

Our vanguard had only gone a few steps before the ambush on the cliff attacked, and countless stones and arrows fell on the shields, making a dense "crackling" and "clanging" sound.

The heavy stone hit the shield and bounced off and fell to the ground, causing severe damage to the shieldman, and the healers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly filled up all the wounded with a fierce brush.

Most of the arrows are inserted into the shield and cause a lot of damage to the shield hand, and a small number of arrows are bounced away, causing relatively little damage, and a very small number of arrows pass through the gap between the shield and shoot the archer or heal, causing them heavy damage, and those with less blood are even killed in an instant.

The healing team is made up entirely of players, and although fragile, it is always able to respawn after death, so the number of people is always constant.

"Shoot the arrows!" I ordered.

Our archers counterattacked, arrows coming through the gaps in their shields and heading straight for the enemy on the cliff.

"Oops", "Mom", a series of screams came from the cliff, and many people on the other side were hit by arrows.

Although there were only 50 arrows in this round, our archers had been immersed in the practice room for many days, and their archery skills had already been practiced very accurately, so they shot more than 10 people.

"Good archery, this seat has a lot of rewards." I liked it on the NPC channel.

The non-leadership NPC gang members were unable to speak in the channel, so the archers in front shouted in unison, "Thank you, Leader." ”

"Move forward steadily, walk 3 zhang and stop, and the archer takes the opportunity to release the arrow." I commanded.

Seeing that the shield array was too solid to attack, the ambush soldiers on the cliff turned their gaze to the crowd following behind, and a large number of stones and arrows beckoned towards the crowd.

Caught off guard by the whizzing stones and arrows, the crowd threw down more than 30 corpses and fled out of the canyon in disarray.

However, these more than 30 people did not die in vain, and while the opponent was attacking with all their might, our archers shot and killed more than 20 ambush soldiers.

"The spawn point is at the entrance to the canyon." One of the congregants reported.

"More than 30 players for more than 20 NPCs, this deal is not a loss." I nodded, "Thankfully, I had the foresight to put the player in front." ”

"Hey, the player is a renewable resource." Yu Xuan chuckled softly.

Everyone around laughed, and NPCs such as Xuanyuan Yiming looked blank and unresponsive - due to the system settings, whenever a topic related to the game and players was mentioned, the NPCs would ignore it.

"Everyone continue to charge, attract the opponent's firepower to help the vanguard speed up, and rush back as soon as possible after being reborn." I shouted, "Death once compensated 100 taels of gold." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately dispelled all their worries, and all of them moved forward bravely, and at the same time released pets to fly up the cliff to attack each other.

Everyone turned on various damage reduction skills, trying to hold on for a moment more and buy more time for the vanguard.

I ordered all the remaining healings to be recharged with the team, and a few more seconds counted as seconds.

Our team continued to advance up the hill, and the ambush on the cliff continued to decrease, and there was no movement until about 500 meters.

"The people above won't be wiped out so easily, will they?" Yu Xuan asked suspiciously.

"They are not stupid, they are shot to death as soon as they show their heads, who would dare to shoot? I guess they must have retreated to the next line of defense. I laughed, "There should be fortifications on the mountain." ”

Thanks to the smooth road, we reached the end of the canyon in a short time.

Ahead of us was a flat field the size of a football field, and it suddenly became clear to us that a stone wall was blocking our path.

The stone wall is 50 meters wide, completely blocking the end of the canyon, 30 meters high, level with the cliff, 2 meters thick, the defenders are enough to stand and walk on it, the stone gate in the middle of the stone wall has already fallen, and the defenders on the wall are waiting for it.

The stone wall and the defenders on the cliffs on either side formed a siege around the valley, and once close to the stone wall, we would be completely exposed to crossfire.

Stone walls are far from being as tall as ladders, and the only way to siege a city is to break down stone walls or locks.

The stone wall was impregnable, and the five ballistae fired five rounds in a row, leaving only 25 shallow craters when the arrows hit the wall.

Seeing this, I immediately ordered that our only two battering rams be transferred to the front.

Under the protection of the shield bearer, 40 NPCs with professional skills rushed to the door with battering rams and continuously slammed into the stone lock, each heavy impact made the entire canyon tremble and make people's hearts feel depressed, but the stone gate stood still.
