Chapter 508: The Battle of the Rock Ground (Part I)
The sand and dust are long.
The rocky wasteland is close to the great desert, the climate is hot, and the three scout teams sent by the coalition forces to reconnoiter are hiding on a low hill at the southwest end of the rocky land, looking at the bandit team wandering at the bottom of the mountain, all with sweaty faces.
"Hey!"
One of the captain of the wanderers plunged his dagger into the broken rock and shouted, "These bandits are clearly draining our patience!" ”
"Moreover, we don't have much water and dry food on us, so let's rush down and fight, the big deal is to hang back to Tifanton!"
The dozen or so players on the low mountain were silent, and some of the scout players clearly agreed with Captain Wanderer's suggestion.
The three-person team of 'Sleeve Dance Flowing Years' Ren Qingwu, 'Fingertip Quicksand' Ren Qingxuan and Zhuchuan Yi happened to be in the crowd.
When Takekawa heard this, he shook his head and didn't say anything.
"These bandits have used us as bait to attract the main forces of the coalition forces!" Ren Qingwu's face was serious, and he said, "From the beginning, with obvious intentions, they drove the three scout teams in the southwest region of the rock land to this hill, surround them but not annihilate them. ”
"Xiao Xuan, did you send them a message?" Ren Qingwu looked at her sister.
"It's been sent."
'Fingertip quicksand' Ren Qingxuan spread out the note in his hand and said, "They have integrated a corps of 1,500 people and are rushing over here. ”
"Sure enough."
'Sleeve Dance Flowing Years' Ren Qingwu sighed and said: "It's impossible for Yu Fei not to see the bandits' schemes, but she still organized the legion to come over, which shows that she didn't take this bandit seriously, I'm worried that the legion will fall into a trap and suffer heavy losses." ”
"How powerful is the gang of bandits that came out of the swamp of Thun?" Takekawa didn't believe it. Straight shook his head and said, "Even if it's Arabe's regular army." To crush the legions of our coalition forces. It's not something that can be done in a while. ”
"So what if there is a strong combat force to intervene?" Ren Qingwu's eyes flickered, "The bandit leader of Thun Swamp is a warrior of the hero rank, if he attacks in person......"
Takekawa took a breath of cold air when he heard this, patted his thigh and said, "Then it can't be worse." Hero Professionals are all humanoid bosses who can directly chisel through the formation of our coalition forces! ”
"I'll hurry up and remind them......" Quicksand on his fingertips also looked worried, and hurriedly wrote a letter to send out.
However, at this time, a group of dark shadows in the northeast of the hill gradually became clear. The sound of horses' hooves rumbled.
"It's late." Ren Qingwu shook his head.
In the bandit camp under the hill, a burly bandit wearing heavy armor and riding an earth-walking dragon looked in the direction where the voice came from, a cold smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "The prey is coming, blow the horn!" ”
A row of robbers on horseback pulled out the horns hanging from their waists, whined and blew, and the desolate horns sounded in the rocky wasteland.
With the hills in the heart, a dusky puff of sand and dust poured in due north and south. There were two other bandits, each with six or seven hundred. Coupled with the thousand-man army led by the bandit leader Salin himself, the total number of bandits at the southwest end of the rock at this time broke through the 2,000 mark at once!
"Hehe, the hunt has begun."
Beside Salin, the leader of the bandits, stood a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe. He lowered his head and said in a gloomy tone, "Salin, you should know how to do it next." Santarim will help you escape from the brutal slave arena, give you the money and resources to establish your own territory in the Thun Marshes, and now is the time for you to repay the Guild. ”
"Your Excellency Pergost, rest assured, this legion of Holy Arrivals will be defeated by me!" Salin grinned and raised his sword high.
"Sortie-"
As soon as Saleen gave the order, a thousand bandits roared like a pack of hungry wolves pounced on the dark shadows of the skyline.
On the hill, the scouts were originally elated when they looked at the legions that came to their aid, but when they found that there was an army of bandits in each of the three directions in front and left and right, they were like falling into an ice cellar, and their whole bodies were cold.
There are ambushes, surrounded!
As soon as Zhuchuan clenched his fists, he couldn't calm down any longer, he got up and ran down the hill, 'Sleeve Dance Flowing Years' Ren Qingwu stretched out his hand and wanted to shout to stop, but he sighed and put down his hand, and muttered: "This lesson is enough, after this fiasco, they will be much more cautious when they attack next time." How can a war be undefeated without accurate intelligence as a basis? ”
More than a dozen scouts almost all went down the mountain, leaving only the two sisters, Ren Qingwu and Ren Qingxuan, sitting on the low hill and watching the three bandit legions approach the coalition legions.
"There are ambushes!"
The elven druid winged wind rode a giant eagle, suddenly landed next to the wolf, and shouted to Charles and Zhang Ze on the wolf's back, "What should I do next?" Yuffie advises the Legion to stop forming formations immediately and do their best to protect the caster, so that we still have a chance to turn the tables around! ”
"Just do as Yuffie says!" Charles was the first to order Zeke to stop, then pointed to the pile of rocks not far away, and said, "Let the legion enter the pile of rocks to set up!" ”
It can only be said that luck is not bad, the rocky wasteland is not a flat river, there are many piles of rocks, and this happens to be a natural barrier against the charge of horse thieves. Relying on the weathered pillars and stones, the legion does not have to worry about being attacked on its back, and it is relatively easy to set up a formation.
The shouts of the player captain and the team resounded in the wasteland, and below the thousand-man legion were a team of 30 and a team of six, with more than thirty regimental commanders and more than one hundred and sixty captains, and every ten regimental commanders were responsible to a regimental commander.
Long Yan of the 'Twilight Blade', An Ying of the 'Emerald Sword', and Qi Guangming of the 'Galaxy Club' personally commanded and supervised the battle as the three legion commanders.
Soon, nearly 100 warriors and priests who had pointed out their [good at tower shields] specialties were lined up in two rows with heavy tower shields, blocking the entrance of the rocky pile, to resist the bandits' charge head-on.
Behind them were more than 500 heavy shield fighters on standby, mostly warriors, but there were also quite a few barbarians.
Other professions, such as the clergy, together with priests and paladins, numbered about two hundred. Next came the Wanderers and the Rangers, also nearly three hundred, each of whom climbed to the top of the weathered stone pillars, occupied the commanding heights, and took out long-range weapons such as darts, javelins, crossbows, bows and arrows, and slings, and waited with bated breath.
Backpacks filled with military supplies were carried out by professional logisticians, sweating profusely as they ran around the formation, handing out alchemy props to some of the lower-ranking elites. With small props such as strong acid bottles, blazing glue, and thunder blasting stones in hand, the low-level players in the legion suddenly felt much more at ease.
The few Bard players had sweat on their hands and slightly stiff fingers playing the melody of the music, and on a team basis, many players received a system prompt:
[Inspiring Courage] (Aura): Bards use songs or poems to inspire the courage of their allies, inspiring them to fight their fears and increase their fighting power. Affected allies gain +1 (+2, +3, +4) morale bonuses, as well as +1 (+2, +3, +4) attack bonuses on both weapon and skill attacks, which are active for as long as the song is heard. ”
"[Boost Skill] (Aura) ......" (To be continued.) )
