Heavy fog filled the field of vision, and soon, a new scene appeared in front of Li Hongyun.
As he expected, this battle was just the appetizer for the entire dungeon.
In fact, strictly speaking, the current battle cannot be said to be difficult.
For players who rely on their own hard skills to clear the warrior dungeon, they should be able to clear this stage as long as they try a few more times.
This battle can be seen as a test of the player's combat effectiveness, and it can also be seen as a display of General Deng Yuanjing.
As the heavy fog in his field of vision dissipated, Li Hongyun found himself on a new battlefield.
Ahead is a dangerous walled city, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although the walled city has no stone walls and is made of wood, it still looks easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only a pass in the middle that can pass through, and it has obviously been blocked by thieves.
guard.
The only good news may be that the terrain of the city wall here is not very high, and even the area behind the pass facing the water is somewhat low-lying. Otherwise, the difficulty of the attack may be further increased.
At this time, Li Hongyun was standing beside General Deng Yuanjing, observing the terrain of the camp together.
"Puning Port is the largest stronghold of Dongyi bandits, but it cannot be conquered for a long time.
"Lord Wang, do you have any good ideas?"
Deng Yuanjing looked at the civilian-looking man standing on the other side of him.
This Lord Wang shook his head: "General Deng, I don't know the military affairs, so I can't speak nonsense.
"But as you said before, General Deng, our army has neglected training and is poorly equipped. Whether it is recruitment and training or raising military supplies, we need a lot of money.
"The current failure to attack Buning Port for a long time is probably not a matter of tactics. Lord Deng, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
He paused for a moment and then asked: "How do you reply to the letter from the Governor?"
Deng Yuanjing shook his head slightly: "Master Dutang only said that the treasury is empty. He has applied for military supplies to Shu, but there has been no reply for a long time. Let us prepare for the war seriously. If Buning Port is captured and the rewards arrive, the problem of military supplies will naturally be solved.
.”
Lord Wang couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
Li Hongyun couldn't help but sigh to himself, isn't this trapped in an infinite loop?
We want to attack Buning Port, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not good, so we need to spend money to recruit soldiers, train them, and replenish equipment. However, the superiors will not approve the money. Only after we capture Buning Port and make contributions, can we get military supplies.
There is really no solution.
As for Mr. Wang, Li Hongyun, as a history student, had some vague guesses.
At that time, there was a man in Deng Yuanjing's army who participated in politics, named Wang Zongchang, who also served as the supervisor of the army. However, there seem to be very few records about him in the history books, so it is unlikely that he was a very powerful hero.
Not restricting Deng Yuanjing is already very good, but it is probably unrealistic to expect him to play a big role.
Deng Yuanjing sighed softly: "Order, prepare to attack!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As the war drums beat, the soldiers of Dasheng Dynasty began to attack Buning Port ahead.
Li Hongyun was also placed among the soldiers in the front row, and General Deng Yuanjing took the lead and was at the forefront.
This time was different from a field battle. Because we were attacking the city, no one was riding horses and all were infantry.
All the soldiers in the front row held long wooden signs and moved forward steadily.
These long wooden shields are as tall as half a man. Soldiers can hide their whole bodies behind their shields by squatting down, mainly to resist arrows.
On the taller tower in front, the Dongyi bandits were stringing their bows one after another.
The Yi bow is made of bamboo and wood. When not in use, it needs to be unstrung and maintained to prevent weight loss. At this time, the thieves were unstrung one after another, indicating that the war was about to break out.
Seeing the bandits unfurling their bows and setting arrows, General Deng raised his hand to signal.
The soldiers immediately placed their long cards on the ground to form a bunker.
These long cards have folding feet on the back, which can be stood firmly on the ground after being unfolded.
Most of the arrows fired by the bandits hit the long card, and the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty also began to fight back with their bows and arrows.
It's just that the bandits were condescending, and the soldiers on General Deng's side shot low and high, so the accuracy was naturally different.
The battle quickly reached a stalemate.
General Deng did not dare to let his soldiers rush in, because although this pass is already the easiest direction to attack in Buning Port, if he attacks rashly without first dealing with the archers on the village tower, it is very likely that they will be squeezed into a crowd at the gate of the village.
The regiment suffered heavy losses.
Feeling the arrow flying "swissing" over his head, Li Hongyun was actually a little excited.
Isn’t it time for me to show off?
He had noticed as early as the beginning of this stage that after the last battle, his status had been significantly improved.
Gu Can
He was just an ordinary soldier before, but now he can stand directly beside General Deng and be treated like a private soldier.
Moreover, even his weapons have been changed.
Before, he only carried a standard long gun, but now, not only his armor, waist sword and other weapons have been upgraded, but he is also carrying a bundle of short guns with a special texture that are easy to throw.
This means that his wonderful performance of throwing spears in the previous stage attracted the attention of General Deng, so special weapons were built for him based on his fighting style.
"This game is really smart. It seems that the equipment updates in the second phase will be based on the combat performance in the first phase.
"In that case, players like Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping should also have weapon updates that are more suitable for them in the second phase.
"In short, we can't waste these equipment and find a way to conquer this place!"
Li Hongyun still possesses the talent of proficiency in throwing, so he no longer hesitates. After the bandit's round of archery is over, while other Dasheng soldiers are also drawing their bows to fight back, he stands up and puts the arrow in his hand.
A short spear was thrown violently!
Compared with the previous stage, Li Hongyun can obviously feel that his physical fitness has improved and his strength has become stronger.
This may be because according to the development of the plot, he has experienced many battles with General Deng Yuanjing and has no worries about food and drink, so his physical fitness and combat skills have improved.
A bandit was fully drawing his bow and preparing to shoot downwards, with no intention of evading.
Because these bandits were condescending, the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty had to shoot upwards, and their accuracy was inherently poor. The bandits obviously felt that instead of avoiding them, it was better to seize the time and shoot more arrows.
However, just as he was about to shoot at a soldier who came out from behind the shield to draw his bow, he suddenly had an extremely dangerous premonition!
Before he could even react to what was going on, he felt something heavier and more powerful than the arrow hit him instantly, sending him flying backwards and even nailing him to the village tower.
wooden wall!
The thief looked confused. He struggled hard to move, but found that he could not move.
He lowered his head in disbelief and discovered that it was actually a special short gun, pinning him firmly!
The other thieves were also shocked, but before they could react, more short spears were thrown from the city!
"Whoosh!"
"Whizzing!"
Under the cover of the long card player, Li Hongyun was like a human fort, constantly throwing the short gun in his hand.
Although the bandits could also hide behind the bunker of the village tower, the suppressive power of the archers would be greatly weakened, allowing the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty to advance.
"go ahead!"
General Deng gave an order, and the long card players continued to move forward with their long cards in their hands, approaching the gate of the village.
Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel a little proud.
What does it mean to turn things around?
He also didn't expect that the second stage of this copy would be to siege the city. In this scenario, his throwing proficiency was simply not very useful.
Of course, other players can also lead their soldiers to attack through melee combat or archery, but it is definitely not as easy as him.
"The official trial copy is only as difficult as this.
"Am I already strong enough to be unparalleled in this official copy?"
Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel a little proud, feeling that he was simply a genius.
However, he soon discovered that he was happy too early.
These bandits hid behind the bunker of the village building. Li Hongyun thought they were afraid of his unique skill of throwing spears and did not dare to show their faces.
As a result, the long card player had just advanced not far when he saw these bandits poking their heads out from the village tower again.
Li Hongyun was about to throw the spear again, but found that what was pointed at him was not a bow, but a black muzzle.
The thieves have guns!
There was a "bang" gunshot, and the bullet hit Li Hongyun's chest!
Immediately afterwards, the muskets from the village tower were fired, and the bullets penetrated the long cards and hit the soldiers of Sheng Army, causing screams again and again.
Although the cloth armor and cotton armor worn by these soldiers had a certain ability to withstand musketry, they were not body armor after all. Soon, sawdust flew from the long plates, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses.
Li Hongyun watched the blood stains on his chest gradually fade away and fell to the ground slumped.
The last scene seen in the field of vision was General Deng giving the order to retreat.
"You guys...can't afford it, can you..."
The expression "Sir, times have changed" appeared in Li Hongyun's mind.
It's a pity that this time, he was the one whose gun was pointed at him.
