"We are the ones who protect the order of history, and we are also the ones who come from hundreds of years later."
Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping came to Sheng Taizu and briefly introduced themselves.
"People hundreds of years from now..."
There was a vague expression on Sheng Taizu's face. Obviously, this situation was a bit like a dream to him.
At this time, Sheng Taizu was a special heroic spirit.
As an ordinary person, the peak state of physical fitness must be in the twenties and thirties, while the peak state of the mind is in the fifties and sixties.
It is said that old age is still hot. Sheng Taizu was constantly fighting wars and never stopped growing for a moment in the process of governing the country.
But in old age, there will always be some twilight.
Although Sheng Taizu was not a fool in his later years, and did not engage in any behavior such as refining elixirs to seek immortality, coveting immortality, or being suspicious of the prince, he still felt a little twilight compared to his prime.
Therefore, these historical figures summoned in the state of heroic spirits will not be limited to a certain age group, but will enhance all aspects of their abilities to their peak state.
Physically and mentally, everything is at its peak!
Moreover, since these heroic spirits in the long history have their own aura of righteousness, or kingly aura, and those who have returned to order also have aura of awe-inspiring righteousness as a basis, the two will naturally trust each other.
This undoubtedly reduces the communication costs for both parties, and a mutual trust relationship can be established quickly.
At this time, Meng Yuan also came to this historical slice as a member of the players.
It's just that he is still the same as before, not interfering in the players' decision-making, but listening more to the players' suggestions and using the power of the Orderer to provide them with logistical support.
After listening to the brief introduction by Chu Ge and other players, Sheng Taizu rode his war horse and looked at the northern barbarians in the distance.
These Northern Barbarians were the enemies he had been fighting for his entire life. But when he saw and vaguely saw the demonic energy emanating from their bodies, Sheng Taizu could clearly feel that these Northern Barbarians were more difficult to deal with than those he had fought before.
"You are from hundreds of years in the future...
"So what's going on with Dasheng Dynasty now?"
Sheng Taizu asked this question with a complicated expression.
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.
What happened to the Great Sheng Dynasty? Of course there were some heroic figures who could sing and cry, but there were also many deeds that made people regretful... How can we explain the history of more than two hundred years clearly in a few words?
But if you simply say, "Da Sheng Dynasty died early, Your Majesty," it seems to be a bit of a slap in the face.
He thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the great dynasty has enjoyed great prosperity for nearly three hundred years."
Time is running out, so I can only answer this first.
Although he gave an answer, Chu Ge was still a little worried. What if Taizu Sheng was still not satisfied with the answer?
I want to ask why the Dasheng Dynasty died? Which dynasty replaced it? What happened next?
Chu Ge was very worried about whether he could explain clearly to an ancient person in a short period of time what a democratic republic is and what the people are the masters of the country...
But fortunately, Chu Ge's worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Taizu Sheng didn't seem to have that much interest in these things.
He let out a long breath: "Nearly three hundred years... that's a long time.
"Is there any dynasty in the world that will last forever?
"Then...is China safe?"
Chu Ge nodded: "The great prosperity will no longer exist, but China will last forever!"
Taizu Sheng laughed loudly: "Okay! Since China will last forever, what regrets do I have?"
At this time, the surrounding players had all been attracted by Sheng Taizu.
Especially Chu Ge, who was responding to Sheng Taizu, was conquered by his heroic spirit.
In this regard, Sheng Taizu was indeed different from other emperors.
He is an extremely rational emperor.
From birth to death, it is like a highly precise machine, with gears interlocking with each other, doing what you think is the right thing.
Throughout the dynasties, there were some emperors who were wise, mighty, and talented in their youth.
However, many emperors began to become dim in their later years, or they were obsessed with the magic of immortality, or they listened to the words of alchemists and witchcraft.
Of course it is not a good thing for an emperor to live short, but if an emperor lives too long and controls the government for too long in his twilight years, there are often huge risks.
However, Sheng Taizu was still running the country conscientiously at the age of seventy. In the end, he was very lucky that there was no big chaos. This is already commendable.
Some emperors in the previous dynasties believed that they had opened a foundation that would never be easy, and believed that future generations could inherit the country for thousands of years. But when it came to Sheng Taizu, after seeing so many ups and downs in history, and the change of dynasties, there was no such thing.
Unrealistic ideas.
Guo Zuo has lived a long life for nearly three hundred years. For him, this is already a quite acceptable result.
Lu Heng looked at the northern barbarian army that was gathering in the distance, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, we can choose a time to talk slowly about future generations. But now time is tight, so..."
Taizu Sheng nodded slightly: "Since we know that the Great Sheng Dynasty lasted for nearly three hundred years, we won't ask any more questions.
"It will be useless to worry too much about future generations after a hundred years of life. The destiny has been decided, and talking about changes will only add some unnecessary pain.
"If things happen here, and there is still time, I will talk to you about the future affairs.
"So the situation at this time is that we need to work with you to eliminate these barbarians?"
Chu Ge noticed that Sheng Taizu's self-identification changed from "I" to "We".
Although we don't know the specific reason, we can simply guess that it may be because Sheng Taizu, who was in the heroic spirit state at this time, is the most authentic person in history. Not only his body but also his mind are maintained at the peak state, and his behavior style is also true to his true nature.
Sheng Taizu always liked to call himself "We" and never denied his identity as a farmer. At this time, these words were very smooth.
Due to the existence of the power of the Orderer, Sheng Taizu, who appeared in the state of a heroic spirit, quickly understood his mission at this time.
Still doing what we do, fighting the Northern Barbarians!
Only this time, he did not have the elite soldiers he had built himself, but had to fight side by side with the Ordered Ones.
The players were all very happy: "I am willing to listen to His Majesty's orders!"
These players have all experienced the "Reckless Heroic Spirit" dungeon. Although they have not cleared the level yet, they already know a lot about Sheng Taizu's life and deeds. Being able to fight side by side under the command of Sheng Taizu at this time is of course a great experience.
A very happy thing.
Although everyone also trusts Chu Ge, how can modern people compare with the famous generals of ancient times when it comes to cold weapon warfare?
With Sheng Taizu's command, the players' chances of winning will naturally increase a lot.
"Your Majesty, how will we fight this battle?" Chu Ge asked.
Taizu Sheng rode his horse to the high slope and looked down.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry has gradually gathered. Although there is still a certain amount of time before the official attack is launched, there is no need to delay.
Taizu Sheng frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this battle will be difficult..."
Zhao Haiping nodded: "Well, the Northern Barbarian cavalry is coming fiercely, and we only have 10,000 cavalry. The gap in the number of cavalry is somewhat difficult to make up."
The insufficient number of cavalry was what Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping were most worried about.
However, Sheng Taizu waved his hand indifferently: "So what if the number of cavalry is not enough? This has never been an important issue.
"As long as these 10,000 cavalry are elite and led by a brave general, they will be enough.
"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, we drove the northern barbarians far away from Mobei and recovered Yanyun, relying on footwork to control cavalry!
Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
They did not expect that according to Sheng Taizu, a "professional counterpart in fighting the Northern Barbarians", ten thousand cavalry would be enough?
Riding on foot?
In fact, when the Central Plains dynasties were invaded and harassed by nomadic barbarians, they all thought of using footwork to control cavalry, but few succeeded.
As for the reason, players have already felt it very deeply during the process of clearing the cavalry trial.
But Taizu Sheng put forward this statement at this time. Is it blind confidence?
of course not!
Chu Ge knew very well that Taizu Sheng was fully qualified to say this.
Because at the beginning of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the reason why they were able to expel the Northern Barbarian cavalry was not relying on their own cavalry units, but a large number of infantry.
This is what is said in history books: "The powerful soldiers of the two Huai Rivers are not as good as the cavalry."
The elite infantry led by Taizu Sheng in the early days were no match for even the elite cavalry.
Of course, famous generals such as General Gu Yuan also had cavalry units, but at that time the main focus was on infantry and cavalry coordination, not pure cavalry units.
This was mainly because there were not so many horses in the early days of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Even if they wanted to use large-scale cavalry, they could not afford it, so they could only work hard to develop infantry tactics.
Later, after the Dasheng Dynasty unified the country, recuperated, and tapped the country's war potential, the number of cavalry gradually increased.
Later, when we went deep into Mobei to search for the main force of the Northern Barbarians, we mainly relied on cavalry troops.
But for Sheng Taizu, he could play cavalry, and naturally he could also play a combination of infantry and cavalry.
A qualified commander must know how to use all current conditions to formulate tactics.
Players are very excited: "Use foot control to ride? How to fight the enemy?"
Sheng Taizu glanced at these players, feeling quite like a grandfather telling stories to a group of ignorant grandsons.
"It's easy to say that riding with a foot system, but it's extremely difficult to do.
“In order for infantry to fight cavalry, they must be physically strong, have high morale, have good armor, and have strict discipline...
"The simplest point is that if you encounter a cavalry charge, you must maintain your formation, hold your spear high and never retreat. As long as one person has the thought of retreating, the entire formation may collapse in an instant.
"Can you do this?
"If it doesn't work, then we can only think of other ways."
Hearing this, the players around him couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Ge smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this. We are all elites with high fighting spirit, superb skills and excellent discipline. Moreover, each of us has one chance to be resurrected.
"I will never lose to any elite soldiers."
Sheng Taizu was hesitant. It was obvious that he had never experienced such an outrageous battle in his life.
But seeing how confident the players are, I can only believe it.
"What weapons do you have?"
Meng Yuan, who had always been a fan of the players, took advantage of the situation and asked: "What kind of weapons does your Majesty need?"
Taizu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Too many!
"If we are infantry, we need muskets, artillery, iron arms, swords, crossbows, spears, chariots...
"If it's cavalry, we need fast horses, light swords, soft bows, long arrows, and three-eyed guns!"
The players couldn't help but look at each other. Obviously, these things that Taizu Sheng wanted made them a little confused.
Of course ordinary players don't have these equipment.
They only had some standard equipment they had bought from the Fortress of the Orderer, such as shields, waist knives, spears, various armors, etc. What Taizu Sheng wanted was a bit too flashy, and they didn't know how to get it together.
Meng Principle, on the other hand, quietly hid back among the players.
Immediately afterwards, system prompts appeared in all players' vision.
【Military supplies have been delivered!】
[Each player will receive a certain amount of military supply points and can choose the weapons and equipment they need based on the military supply points. 】
[The heroic spirit summoning function is ready!]
[The construction value in the Orderer's fortress can be consumed, and Heroic Spirits can appear for a short period of time to destroy the enemy.]
After seeing these lines of prompts, the players couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Yo? It came just in time!
It seems that this is all arranged by the game in advance.
At this time, an icon of military supplies appeared in the players' field of vision, with numbers on it.
There is a ranking based on the progress of previously cleared dungeons. Players with higher rankings will receive more supplies, while players with lower rankings will receive less supplies.
In addition, the initial position in the military will also vary.
The equipment and props that appear in the players' field of vision are even more diverse.
Among them, they are basically the equipment required by Sheng Taizu, as well as the equipment used by General Deng during his military training!
In the infantry's field of vision, there are blunderbuss, artillery, iron arms, waist knives, shields, crossbows, spears, chariots, etc.
Guns and artillery were the latest models used by General Deng during his military training.
The iron arm is a piece of equipment used by the infantry of the early Shengjun. It is larger than the arm guard and can protect oneself well in melee combat. It is especially useful for spearmen who cannot hold shields or shields.
The waist knives, shield cards, crossbows, etc. are the same equipment used by Sheng's army to exterminate the Dongyi bandits.
As for the spears, they are purely spears used in battle formations. They are five or six meters long. When poked into the ground to form an array, they look like a hedgehog with teeth and claws.
For ordinary people, it would be difficult to just lift a large gun of this length, but players are very physically strong in the game, so using this kind of gun is of course no problem.
Although the longer the gun is, the less flexible it becomes, but in battle formation, there is really no need to be flexible, and the ultimate length is pursued.
The cavalry equipment required by Sheng Taizu were fast horses, light swords, soft bows, long arrows and three-eyed guns.
Among them, it goes without saying that the fast horse and the three-eyed gun are inevitable configurations.
The light knife is mainly used to be more flexible when fighting on horseback. Because the weapon used when sprinting is a long gun, but once the soldiers come into contact and fall into a melee, the lighter waist knife or scimitar held in one hand will be more effective.
Soft bows are used for rapid shooting. The draw force of a riding bow is lower than that of a walking bow, because it is not easy to use force on a horse, and it is inconvenient to draw a long bow. Moreover, the soft bow can also make up for the slow shooting speed of a musket.
As for the long arrow, it is designed to match the soft bow. The deflection of the long arrow is higher and it is better to use with the soft bow.
Even in front of the infantry, options such as artillery or tanks appeared.
These chariots are a bit like the chariots used by General Deng when he fought against the Northern Barbarians. They have thick bodies and are mainly used to withstand the impact of barbarian cavalry.
Relying on the chariot, players can use muskets, artillery or spears to cause damage to the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Chu Ge hurriedly shouted: "Don't rush to choose weapons and equipment, let's form an array first!"
The amount of materials allocated to each person is limited, so you must not choose randomly.
It would be okay if every player chose a tank, but it wouldn't work if there were only roadblocks and not enough weapons.
Therefore, we must first form an array, and then assign each person what weapons to take and what to do, in order to ensure that these materials are not wasted.
The players started to act noisily. Although the captains of the Thousand-Man Team tried their best to maintain order, there was still some chaos in the end.
Chu Ge had a brief chat with Lu Heng, Zhao Haiping, Li Weiyi and others, and decided to summon General Deng directly.
Anyway, there is a chance to summon heroic spirits. How long should we wait now?
If you don’t summon me, will you keep it for the New Year?
Soon, a mighty righteousness broke through the sky, as if it was a divine punishment from the nine heavens, and landed on an open space among the players!
The heroic General Deng Yuanjing was fully clothed in armor, straddling a war horse, and carrying a spear. His expression was as confused as when Sheng Taizu first appeared.
"General Deng! We meet again!"
Many players joined in excitedly.
After clearing the dungeon "The title is not mine", many players were lamenting the final outcome of General Deng.
And now, when I see General Deng again, I always feel a very cordial feeling.
Soon, General Deng also understood his mission at this time, quickly got into his role, and began to ride his horse and order the players to adjust their formations.
Sheng Taizu coordinated the overall situation, General Deng led Chu Ge, and Zhao Haiping coordinated with the players to form formations, and everything went smoothly.
The ideas of Sheng Taizu and General Deng were surprisingly consistent, and there was no friction at all.
Even without communicating about many things, the two of them just thought of going together.
Players can only sigh with emotion. Sure enough, everyone who fails has their own failures, but successful bosses are often similar.
These two are the top military strategists in ancient times. What they have to do at this time is actually very simple, they just direct the players to arrange their troops.
This is like asking two college students to solve junior high school math problems. It would be strange if their ideas for solving the problems were different.
Soon, the players' military formation began to take shape.
There are nearly 60,000 players participating in the Orderer expedition this time, including 10,000 cavalry and the rest are infantry.
These 10,000 cavalrymen have all passed the cavalry test of "exploring the bag to retrieve objects". They all have extremely strong combat effectiveness and are the absolute elite among players.
The infantry is not bad here either. Even those new players who have just joined this test have already been tempered many times, and their fighting will and combat effectiveness are completely fine.
What's more, you can also assign tasks to each player according to their actual situation through grouping.
The outermost is the chariot, and behind the chariot are the heavy infantry holding spears and stabilizing the formation, then the artillerymen, the musketeers, and further inside are the archers. The innermost is the scribe players, who are ready to add buffs at any time.
In this way, an infantry formation formed like an iron barrel was formed.
General Deng was most familiar with this method of warfare, so he commanded the infantry in the military formation.
Taizu Sheng was very fond of General Deng when he saw him, and his eyes were full of admiration.
After all, this was the most outstanding general in the late Dasheng Dynasty. Looking at it, Sheng Taizu probably recalled the days when he fought on the battlefield with Gu Yuan and a group of old brothers.
And since it was the Qiancheng of the country in the middle and late period of the Dasheng Dynasty, Taizu Sheng looked at General Deng with a look that showed a bit of appreciation from the elders to the younger ones.
When many players saw this scene, they couldn't help but wonder, if Sheng Taizu knew the final outcome of General Deng, would he dig out his unfilial children and grandchildren from the soil and throw them away?
Mouth?
The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.
Sheng Taizu was also battle-hardened for a long time, so he knew after just a few glances that General Deng was also a first-rate top commander.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to appear here in the state of a heroic spirit.
Therefore, he simply handed over the entire main infantry array to General Deng for command, and instead led the cavalry around the perimeter.
From this point we can see the difference in the personalities of the two people.
Although General Deng also led the charge, in general, he was an all-rounder. He was proficient in organizing and managing the army, adapting measures to local conditions, studying strategies, innovating weapons and other things. He emphasized that "those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."
”, or “conquering the enemy without fighting”.
In other words, it has not yet reached the stage of fighting with real swords and guns, and the opponent has been persuaded to retreat just by relying on preliminary preparations.
Although Sheng Taizu was also very good at strategy, he was quite addicted to taking the lead in charges. In particular, his use of cavalry mobility was superb, and he often made surprise attacks.
Under the arrangement of these two people, the players quickly formed an array and each stayed at their posts.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry controlled by the demon finally formed an array and began to surround the players like dark clouds in the sky.
The familiar feeling of oppression once again surged into the hearts of the players.
For the players, this is not the first time they have fought against the Northern Barbarian Cavalry.
The first encounter was at the end of the trial fantasy "The title is not mine", but at that time the players did not actually go to battle, but just watched the tragic battlefield from a distance;
Then came the last Orderer expedition. Players relied on the fortress of the Orderer fortress to successfully defend the Northern Barbarian army. However, because the terrain of the Orderer fortress was too restrictive for cavalry, it was more or less a bit of a challenge.
feeling of laziness;
Later, in the "reckless heroic spirit", he played the role of "commander" and fought a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarian cavalry with superior force;
But now, the difficulty has finally risen again and again, reaching the most tragic scene.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry are controlled by demons and are not afraid of death, and their number is obviously more than the players.
The next battle will definitely be a fierce battle.
But the players are not panic, because there are two gods of war, and after this long training, the players are no longer what they used to be!
