Chapter 149: The Player's War
Not long after Shang Ji arrived, a player came galloping in. From a distance, I saw him say with a smile on his face: "The general is coming with the army, I don't know what is important?" Is there anything we can do to help? ”
Shang Ji's Black Armor Xuanqi is not easy to mess with at first glance, this player mistakenly thinks Shang Ji is some kind of high-level NPC.
"Who are you?" Shang Ji rode on the dragon horse and looked at the visitor condescendingly.
"General, under the name Tiger Mania, is the deputy gang leader of the Tiger Society, and the president of my family, the Tiger Roaring Tiannai, is the head of a hundred people in Lingping County near him, and he took over the task of the county and came to encircle and suppress Niujiao Mountain!" The person who came said with a smile.
The Wild Tiger is very smart, and at the beginning, he pointed out the official identity of the Tiger Roar, trying to use the official as a basis to force Shang Ji not to interfere in their tasks at will.
"Encirclement and suppression of Niujiao Mountain?" Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The centurion has the ability to encircle and suppress Niujiao Mountain?" Does the county lieutenant of Lingping County have the ability to go north to Xianbei? ”
I thought that the Black Wind Village in Wangquan County did evil, but in the end, it was Shang Ji who converged with Baiyun Town and dispatched thousands of troops to eliminate it. At that time, the official position of Shang Ji was already the battalion Sima. Now this little centurion dares to speak out about encircling and suppressing Niujiao Mountain, which is stronger than Black Wind Village.
After listening to Shang Ji's taunt, Tiger Maniac couldn't help but blush. They did take over the task of encircling and suppressing Niujiao Mountain, but this task was an open task in Lingping County. That is to say, anyone can take it, but there is only one reward, and whoever finishes it first belongs to whomever belongs. Tiger Maniac just wanted to fool Shang Ji away, but who knew that Shang Ji was a knowledgeable person and was not fooled.
The tiger was crazy and didn't dare to speak, although he didn't know the origin of Shang Ji, but just by looking at the black armor Xuanqi behind Shang Ji, he knew that the person who came was not something he could provoke, so he didn't dare to say anything inferior.
"All right, you will do your thing, and you will not interfere. If you succeed, give me the head of the leader of the thieves in Oxhorn Mountain, and I will exchange it for a high-level martial arts cheatbook, if you fail, I will personally take action You have no opinion, right?! ”
"No opinion, no opinion, thank you, General!" Tiger Maniac was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again.
"Wang Hu, you come with me, the others will camp here first, let's go over and have a look." Ignoring the ecstatic Tiger Maniac, Shang Ji turned to Wang Hu and the others and commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" Several people saluted in unison.
"You don't mind if I watch you fight, do you?" Shang Ji turned his head to Tiger Maniac and asked.
"Of course, of course, it is our honor to have a general here!" Shang Ji ordered the black armor Xuanqi to be stationed on the periphery, which was already very face-saving for them, and the tiger madness was very good at being a man, so he immediately led Shang Ji into the core of the war.
Under the leadership of Tiger Mania, Shang Ji and Wang Hu smoothly entered the edge of the battlefield, and watched this "big battle" with many players who watched the excitement.
Of course, Shang Ji is not idle and has nothing to do, he needs to understand the specific strength of players at this stage, so as to make corresponding policy adjustments.
There is no better way to test true strength than war. Although Shang Ji has always attached great importance to the player's intelligence, but the things on paper have not been witnessed with their own eyes after all, and Shang Ji certainly does not intend to let go of this opportunity.
When Shang Ji arrived, the two armies were facing each other.
One side is all NPCs, about two thousand people, and most of the strength is around the third order, and the appearance is quite well-trained. The leader was a rugged man armed with a broadsword. The tiger madman who accompanied him throughout the whole process introduced in a timely manner: "This person is the Horn King, named Zhang Feng, a third-rate martial arts general-level master!" ”
"In addition, the second master on Niujiao Mountain is also a third-rate general, and the silver-armored general who commands the cavalry is it!"
The fact that there are two third-rate generals alone far surpasses the original Black Wind Village.
Shang Ji nodded, then looked at the player coalition.
The number of player alliances is even larger, at least 3,000, most of them are players, only a small number of about 500 NPCs, the formation is chaotic, the equipment is varied, and it is very characteristic of players.
"There are two third-rate generals on Niujiao Mountain, I don't know how you plan to deal with it? Could it be that you also have two third-rate generals? Shang Ji asked with interest.
"Haha, the general laughed, how can we have such a strong third-rate general, the only few third-rate generals among the players are in the hands of Yan Huang, how can our small temple fit such a big Buddha!"
Hu Madness laughed at himself, and then continued: "We have prepared a master group, and the twenty people are at least intermediate generals, specializing in encircling and killing third-rate generals of the enemy army!" ”
It's no secret that players must prepare a master group in the battle, responsible for besieging or pinning down the enemy's high-level combat power. This is a well-known thing, and there is no need for Tiger Mania to hide it.
"Does it work?" Shang Ji himself is not optimistic about the so-called master group, and he also doubts the effect of this.
"Hehe, you have to do it if it doesn't work, you can't let them run rampant." Tiger Maniac smiled bitterly and explained.
Shang Ji suddenly realized that this so-called master regiment was actually high-level cannon fodder, which was specifically responsible for containing the enemy's high-level combat power.
"Oh, it's war!" Seeing the two armies slowly moving, Shang Ji was suddenly shocked and concentrated on observing the battlefield.
And the tiger madness immediately shut up and stared at the battlefield, his hands trembling nervously.
He is not a combatant, and he is mainly responsible for handling the daily affairs of the gang on weekdays, and he is a logistical talent. But he was well aware of the importance of this war.
The three major forces, including the Tigers, were busy for a month making various preparations, and I don't know how much financial and material resources were spent to bring about this big war.
Victory naturally earns a lot of money, but defeat is a loss. As the core senior management and shareholders of the Tiger Club, how can the Tiger not be nervous.
The war between the two sides was different from what had been fought on the steppes before. Both sides were dominated by infantry. There is also a cavalry of several hundred men in the Oxhorn Mountain camp, but the player coalition camp does not have a formed cavalry unit at all, it is all infantry.
Both sides are sword and shield men in front, pikemen in the wings, and ranged classes such as archers in the rear. The formation is decent, but it is also the simplest and most effective formation.
With the quality of both sides, there is no advanced formation.
The two armies moved slowly, and in a short time they were within range of the archers.
"Woo Woo ......"
The archers on both sides fired almost simultaneously, and the arrows were densely packed and shot straight at the local camp.
The sword and shield soldiers in front immediately raised their shields to defend, and the arrows clanged on the shields. A few arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, but were blocked by the armor of the sword and shield soldiers. Only a handful of arrows succeed in inflicting damage on enemy personnel.
The rain of arrows continued, and from time to time players or bandits fell to the ground with arrows, letting out bursts of screams.
The Horned King, on the other hand, moved slowly with the legion after the sword and shield soldiers. He did not rush to charge, but made a steady choice to act with the army. From time to time, you will issue orders to fine-tune the military formation to fill the void caused by the player's allied arrow rain.
The cavalry corps of Oxhorn Mountain kept hovering on the edge of the battlefield and did not attack rashly. The pikemen on both wings of the player's coalition army kept reminding the second village master that this was not a good opportunity for the cavalry legion to cut in.
As the formation continued to move, the two sides finally began to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
