Volume 3 Chapter 19 Reversal
This time the violent gang attacked in three directions, with each team having more than 1,300 people. However, they started to play for real and used tactics!
Among the enemies opposite me, three level 40 magicians stepped out, opened their magic shields, and advanced to a position just within the shooting range of the archer guards.
I thought to myself, "Not good!" Sure enough, the guards opened their bows and shot. However, the mages were protected by magic shields and were at such a long distance that the arrows were not very powerful. The mages had priests behind them to heal them. The guards attacked for several rounds but did not kill the three mages. It was obvious that the opponent's blood replenishment speed could keep up. Moreover, there was a warrior beside each of them. Once the mage could not hold on, the warrior would help him to withstand one or two rounds of arrows. The range of the guards was slightly longer than that of the archers below level 40. Our allies were anxious on the wall but could not help. They could only watch the guards shoot arrows in vain.
The problem is that the guard is an NPC after all... He will not change his target until the target he has locked on is eliminated! In this way, the three guards are pinned down, and I believe the other two enemies will use the same tactics.
Good man, are you going to show your strength? I stared at the gang without blinking. Come on, the fight just now was just a warm-up. I hope you won't let me down this time and truly become the whetstone for the Thunder Alliance to improve its combat effectiveness!
The violent group began to charge. As the attack channel had been opened, they did not need to make any further preparations and rushed forward in one go. Moreover, after suffering two losses, many members of the opposing group learned their lessons and knew how to disperse their formation appropriately. As a result, the interception by our long-range troops was much less effective.
However, we have kept some tricks in reserve before, and this time, let them try something new.
When the enemy was about 50 meters away from the defense wall, our mages began to organize the release of fire walls towards the open space in front of the defense line. In an instant, a large sea of fire broke out in front of the defense wall.
The gang members felt helpless, but they had no choice but to rush into the sea of fire. Although they did not die, everyone was injured. When they rushed to the defensive wall, they had to endure the torment of the flames under their feet while fighting with our soldiers who occupied the advantageous terrain.
Before, whenever the battle entered the melee stage, I would order the mages and archers to retreat, but this time, I ordered all the allies to fight with all their might!
The mages also stood on the wall like the warriors, and released a large number of area attack magic, which exploded in the crowd of violent groups. In terms of attack efficiency, they were much stronger than the warriors. The archers were responsible for suppressing the enemy's follow-up long-range troops. Taking advantage of the higher terrain, they rained arrows, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy mages and archers. However, many people were stabbed by the swords and guns of the enemy warriors because they were too close to the battle line. They fell down and were surrounded by countless enemies and killed instantly...
I reserved my strength before because in a group battle, each party has three chances to return to the battlefield after resurrection. I have to try my best to avoid casualties and ensure that the combat troops are fully equipped. But as long as we can withstand this round of attacks, the violent group will reach its limit. Even if we organize another attack, we will have fewer and fewer people. It can be said that this is a decisive battle. I have no scruples. Besides, letting the alliance members gain some real large-scale combat experience is much better than the effect of exercises. This is a good opportunity to improve everyone's combat effectiveness!
Within five minutes, the battle became more intense. The long-range troops of the violent group also entered the position where they could attack the defense wall. They attacked one after another. Suddenly, a fire broke out on the top of our wall. Every member of the alliance was fighting in a sea of fire and swords, and in a rain of arrows. If they were not careful, they could lose their lives at any time.
The two sides were fighting in the same environment. The violent gang had the upper hand in numbers, our team had better coordination and the terrain was favorable, so it was difficult to tell the two sides apart for a while. However, judging from the ratio of casualties, our losses were much smaller, and our fallen members could return to the battlefield in less than ten minutes after being resurrected within the alliance, while the other side would return to Pojun City as soon as they died, and would not be able to join the battle within an hour. It was only a matter of time for us to gain a comprehensive advantage.
At this time, a new violent group appeared outside the battlefield!
This was only a small-scale team of less than 300 people, but they were well-organized and advanced very quickly. Everyone was fully armed with helmets and armor, and many of them were shining with gold, which showed that they were well-equipped. Such a small force rushing to the battlefield gave me a stronger sense of oppression than the more than 1,000 people!
Finally, you played your trump card? King of Violence, this must be your elite troops, right? If we hadn't gotten the intelligence from the insider beforehand, we would have been unprepared and suddenly attacked by such an elite force. It would have really disrupted our formation and even caused a breach in our defense. Although it doesn't mean we will be defeated, it would still be a big problem! Now, everything is under my control. I'm afraid your plan will be difficult to realize!
At the command, the wooden door in the middle of the defense wall was opened, and more than 200 knights rushed out. I was in the lead on a unicorn, followed by the cavalry troops I carefully organized. Having tasted the sweetness of pure cavalry tactics in the previous monster attacks, I have paid great attention to the training of cavalry. All the senior knights in the Thunder Alliance have been gathered by me and organized several drills. Now I am going to try whether this tactic is equally powerful against players.
The passage opened by the violent group was more than 200 meters west of the original private passage of the Thunder League in front of the wooden gate. They probably thought that we would station heavy troops at the gate for defense, so they would rather spend time to open another passage than attack the wooden gate directly. After I led the team to rush out, we quickly rushed out of the range of the thorn net along the unmanned passage. Because the cavalry was fast, we intercepted the elite of the violent group before they approached the main battlefield.
Before the two sides came into contact, with a gesture from me, more than two hundred knights launched a charge at the same time!
Group charge is the reason why the knight has become a powerful existence in fantasy!
More than two hundred knights launched a simultaneous collective charge with an overwhelming momentum, enough to break through all obstacles and destroy all enemies in front of them!
The earth shook, horses neighed, and more than two hundred knights rushed towards the gang like a whirlwind!
The direct subordinates of the King of Violence are indeed worthy of the name of elite. They are mostly composed of warriors, knights and swordsmen. There are only a few mages and archers, and they are protected in the core of the team. During our charge, they responded quickly, with arrows and magic missiles shot at us continuously. Unfortunately, the density was not high and they could not stop our assault.
However, their warriors have turned around and are charging towards us. The team is not in disarray at all. It is obvious that they are players who have been cooperating for a long time and have rich combat experience.
But even so, this charge of ours can deal a huge blow to them. Although it may not kill the soldiers instantly, it can disrupt the opponent's team. Chaotic formation is a taboo in military strategy, not to mention that we are the most mobile cavalry unit, and then we can divide and surround the opponent and defeat them one by one.
However, a surprising move by the violent gang resolved our offensive!
Unexpectedly, among the less than 300 enemies, there were more than 30 Taoists hidden. Each Taoist used a substitute talisman to create two phantoms (the higher the level of the phantom skill, the more phantoms can be created, and at first you can only create phantoms of your own image, but later you can copy the images of teammates and even monsters. When we broke into the imperial tomb, Wei's skill level was a little short, so he could only create one phantom). The number of soldiers in front of us suddenly increased by 60, mixed in with the team of hundreds of people, making it even more difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
I was the first one to rush into the gang. A soldier in front of me was hit by his mount and flew up. Hupo took the opportunity to stab him with a knife, and the soldier turned into confetti in the air!
The dozens of knights following behind me also mostly attacked the phantoms, so the violence group suffered minimal losses. When more team members rushed up, the opponent's Taoist priest had already created a second batch of phantoms!
The gang retreated a few steps in an orderly manner, absorbing our impact like a sponge, and then launched a powerful counterattack!
More than a hundred warriors and swordsmen rushed forward shouting, and it was unclear how many of them were real people and how many were phantoms. They all used their special skills in unison: sword energy and sword auras were everywhere, flying star thorns were as powerful as lightning, and chain slashes flashed with sword light...
Of course, when the blade enters the flesh, the player will know the real one immediately, and the one who will cause pain must be the player himself. The knights launched stabbings one after another, and blood was gushing out in an instant, and both sides fought to the death.
I killed an enemy with two sword strikes, and when I looked up, I suddenly discovered that more than fifty enemy knights were retreating and gathering. Oh no, they were about to launch a charge!
I shouted, "Follow me!" I leaped onto my horse and charged into the most densely populated enemy area of the violent group. I threw out my Hundred Lie Thorns and shot out golden tiger soul light. The enemies around me retreated one after another, and I forced a gap through them. My subordinates took the opportunity to follow up, and immediately the lines of both sides were entangled in a ball. In this melee where it was difficult to distinguish between enemy and us, the other side could not launch a mass charge.
Hey, it's really amazing! I thought I could easily win the battle by surprise attack, but it turned out to be such a difficult and indistinguishable scene. Is this the strength of the elite ? However, if I can pass this test, my cavalry regiment may grow into an elite division like this?
In terms of level, the average level of the gang is slightly higher; in terms of equipment, the opponent is indeed well-equipped, but my cavalry unit has gathered all the good stuff in the gang's arsenal, as well as some good equipment I personally lent them, so they are not much worse than the opponent. The knights fight in groups on horseback, because their attack, defense, speed, and health are relatively high, which is slightly better than other professions, so the two sides should have fought to a draw, but in just three minutes, I was at a disadvantage!
The reason is that the PK experience of the members of the Thunder Alliance is far inferior to that of the core members of these gangs! Although we usually focus on training, we are still not mature enough compared to our opponents who have grown up in actual combat and fought all day long. For example, when both sides are at the bottom of their health, most of our members cannot accurately calculate whether to avoid or fight? The members of the gangs know very well who will win if they fight hard? Knowing that they can't win, they retreat and avoid, replenish a little blood and fight again; and when they are sure that they will win, they will never miss the opportunity. Often after a fight, the opponent dies and they only have ten-digit HP left, but as long as they save their lives and take some medicine, they will recover immediately, right?
Moreover, the gang's various professions cooperated very skillfully. When a warrior was almost fighting with one of our knights, he might be shot with an arrow from behind, easily taking the life of one of our teammates.
Although I am reluctant, I have to admit that we are no match for them in a head-on fight! If I hadn't been the only one holding the fort, and Tiger Soul slashing left and right, no one could stop me, I'm afraid our formation would have collapsed!
However, the gang members were all veterans, knowing that I had great attack power, no one was willing to confront me head-on. Often, after receiving a blow from the sword, they would immediately move aside and let another with full health take over. Although I looked powerful on the surface, I actually only killed a few opponents in seconds with an occasional fatal blow, and my gains were limited.
The situation was unfavorable, so I gritted my teeth and ordered, "Retreat!"
After all, the training was effective. Once the order was given, the team members would never fight to the end but would immediately turn around and run away, even if it meant getting stabbed twice on the buttocks or knowing that the enemy in front of them could be defeated with just one more blow.
Our speed was much faster than that of the gang, and we moved as fast as the wind, which was the biggest advantage of the knights. Except for a few who were surrounded by the enemy, or who were almost out of health and were attacked continuously when they turned around and died, we all withdrew from the battle after paying the price of more than ten people being killed.
After running out of the range of the opponent's long-range profession, I checked the team and found that more than 50 members were lost! This battle was really a shame. I didn't get any advantage and even suffered a small loss.
But I haven't lost confidence. Since the surprise attack failed, let me show you guerrilla tactics!
I gave the order to turn around and charge at the violent group again, but this time I did not launch a charge.
The gang members were on high alert, and the Taoists also released phantoms. But before the two sides came into contact, I led the team to turn sideways and circled around the gang.
Although the enemy's mages and archers kept shooting, they had limited numbers and we were moving at high speed, so their hit rate was pitifully low, which had little effect on us. Their warriors had to follow us in circles, otherwise if there was a loophole in their defense, we would break in and it would be no joke.
Although the radius of the opponent's circular motion is much smaller than ours, two legs can't run faster than four legs after all. After a few laps, the opponent's warriors were dizzy and gradually couldn't keep up with our speed. The violent king was not stupid. He immediately adjusted his tactics and shrunk the formation to further reduce the range of movement of the warriors. Anyway, we didn't have a long-range profession, so a dense formation would not have any disadvantages. And their knights, who had already assembled, rushed out and suddenly charged us!
Great! I just want to eat you, the knight! I shook the reins, and Coco, who was originally running in an arc, immediately changed to running in a straight line, and the knights behind me naturally followed, and the whole team moved away from the main camp of the gang along a tangent.
I guess the Violence King also realized that things were not going well, right? But he couldn't regret it. Once the knight's charge was launched, it couldn't be stopped before this skill was completed. Although the charge had an acceleration effect, after all, we were all riding horses, so our speed was not slow? We led the opponent's knight team more than 200 meters away from the main camp before we were caught up. I immediately made a gesture and turned around. Dozens of team members at the end were immediately hit by the opponent's charge, but only two or three died. The knights of the violent group had no chance to chase the injured opponents. Our team members all rushed up and surrounded them!
We were all knights, and were so close to each other that no one could charge. We could only stab back and forth, but in terms of numbers we had almost a four-to-one advantage. Our team members were only slightly injured after being stabbed once, but the opponents were hit by four stabs at the same time, and if they were not killed instantly they would be seriously injured!
What's more, I have my terrifying Tiger Soul! When the opponent had no chance to dodge, I struck a heavy Hundred Splits and killed three knights at the same time!
The main force of the gang rushed to the rescue, but by the time the soldiers had run more than 200 meters, their knights had been slaughtered, leaving only dozens of ownerless horses neighing sadly.
Taking advantage of the high morale, I waved my hand and launched another mass charge against the violent gang!
The Taoist priest of the other side also released an illusion, but we had already fixed our eyes on a certain target intentionally, ignoring the enemies that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the weapons in our hands pierced into real flesh fiercely!
After running for two hundred meters, the gang's formation was already a little disorganized. After suffering this heavy blow, the opponent's vanguard was immediately cut off, and we were able to take the opponent's center with unstoppable force!
Those in the middle were mostly mages, archers, priests and the like. There were also dozens of annoying Taoists mixed in. Although they were also the elite of the gang, when their fragile physiques were exposed to the knights' butcher knives, they did not die any slower than other players. Now the power of my Tiger Soul was finally fully exerted, and I could basically kill one with one sword. The blade of Tiger Soul became deeper and deeper red, and my murderous intent kept rising, and my sword-drawing speed became faster and faster.
With a loud "clang" sound, someone took my Tiger Soul sword!
I looked around and roared excitedly, "King of violence! You dare to attack the Thunder Alliance, aren't you afraid of your own destruction? Take another blow from me!"
I thrust forward and chopped him down fiercely. The Violent King did not dare to delay. He roared wildly and went into a frenzy. At the same time, he raised the axe in his hand and chopped towards my Tiger Soul!
There was another loud bang, sparks flew, and the fantasy was so realistic that a gap was cut into the axe of the violent king. Hehe, his axe is a dark gold equipment, how can it compare with my artifact? If he fights again, I guarantee that his weapon will be broken within three strikes!
I chopped with the knife again, and the violent king was indeed frightened and didn't dare to block it. With his greatly increased agility after going berserk, he dodged the knife and chopped me in the waist with the axe!
Hey, the waist is indeed a weak spot that is difficult for knights to dodge, but I have been practicing fighting skills, how could I not pay special attention to this? Moreover, although Tiger Soul killing people will make me feel eager to fight and have an uncontrollable desire to kill, it also has its benefits. In this state, my reaction is more sensitive than usual. When I handed the knife to my left hand, I swept it back and swung the giant axe away. Then, without thinking through my brain, my body reacted naturally and returned to Tiger Soul, slashing with the knife horizontally. It was as fast as lightning. The violent king could not dodge it anymore. A long wound was cut on his chest and blood spurted out like a fountain.
I showed no mercy, I held the knife in both hands, and chopped off Huashan on the head with all my strength!
As the leader of a violent gang, the Violent King had experienced countless PKs since he entered the fantasy world. It was not that he had not encountered opponents stronger than himself, but he had never been as shocked as today. He felt that he was not facing a person, but a beast! He saw my ferocious face, fierce eyes, and most importantly, the murderous aura on me. He didn't know where his courage to fight me had gone. He barely raised his axe to block the blow, but was chopped back three steps by my tyrannical force. I rode my horse to catch up with him, and chopped him down again without changing the original style!
Perhaps, if I use more sophisticated moves, I can hit the body of the Violent King, but at this moment I instinctively feel that I have completely overwhelmed him in terms of momentum. Now, it is more important for me to defeat his confidence than to kill him physically!
The violent king used all his strength to raise his axe to block again. With a crisp "clang" sound, his axe shattered into thousands of fingernail-sized metal fragments!
The violent king no longer had the strength to fight. According to chivalry, I should not chase him anymore, but at this moment my killing intent had reached its peak, so why would I care about manners? I aimed my knife at the opponent's heart and stabbed him to death.
However, the Violent King also lost his courage as a warrior... He actually dodged and hid behind a member! With this blow, I killed the swordsman who was used as a shield by him in an instant, but the Violent King took the opportunity to retreat and soon blended into the crowd. Although I chased him frantically, I was blocked by the chaotic Violent Group members. I watched the Violent King slip away, and I had no way to vent my anger. These miscellaneous soldiers in front of me naturally became the targets of my venting. The Tiger Soul rose and fell, and every cut of the knife took away a lot of blood.
The situation was set, the gang's team was already in disarray. Under the organized charge of our knights, although the opponent was still trying to hold on with their superior PK skills, they were no match for us without overall coordination. Some members who saw the opportunity began to flee, and this action immediately infected the entire army. After all, their equipment was good, and it would be painful if one or two pieces of equipment were destroyed every time they died. Some good things are hard to buy even with money.
A quarter of an hour later, we wiped out about 150 gang members and drove the rest of the enemies out of the battlefield. It can be said that we won a great victory. I led the team back to the fortifications, but the scene in front of me shocked me!
The Jinglei League, which had the upper hand when I launched the attack, somehow lost more than half of its defense personnel, and there was no one from the long-range forces. The attacking force of the violent group had a huge numerical advantage and was gradually suppressing us. Some enemies had already climbed onto the top of the wall and were fighting a fierce battle with our defending soldiers!
What happened to cause such a reversal of the war situation?
