Chu Ge couldn't help but frown. Obviously, this monster was completely different from the monsters he had known before.
It seems that this monster has more brains!
When the previous monsters encountered the various tactics of players, their response methods were quite formulaic. They simply used their barbarian soldiers to rush up recklessly. When they found that the reckless soldiers were unable to do anything, they gradually concentrated the monster's power. Finally, they exposed themselves and were killed.
Beichen was killed easily.
But this monster didn't do that.
It seems to know very well that concentrating the magic energy first will put it into a very passive situation, so it is always trying to change the tactics of the barbarians, trying to use tactics to reverse the current situation.
From the brainless pig attack at the beginning, to later changing the cavalry tactics to cut off the four corners of the military formation, and then to using heavy cavalry to chase the player's cavalry troops...
Although these measures did not change the demon's disadvantage on the battlefield, they did create certain obstacles for players.
But this time, the demon seems to have discovered that the player's infantry array is impregnable and cannot be charged down at all, so it doesn't even use the light cavalry's method of cutting corners.
Simply gather all the cavalry together and completely eliminate the player's cavalry units first!
This obviously took advantage of the gap in arms between the two sides.
The Northern Barbarians' army consisted entirely of cavalry and had excellent mobility.
The main components of the player are infantry. You can indeed gain a good advantage against cavalry in a military formation, but once these cavalry leave, it will be difficult for the infantry to pursue them.
Because once they leave the structured vehicle formation, the infantry formation may become scattered, and if the Northern Barbarian cavalry suddenly kills a carbine at this time, things will be difficult to handle.
Chu Ge looked at General Deng: "What should we do?"
General Deng said: "It depends on how your Majesty plans to deal with it. Let's take a rest first and stay put."
…
At the same time, the cavalry players who were constantly fighting also discovered the changes in the movements of the Northern Barbarian army.
"Your Majesty, these Northern Barbarian cavalry seem to be surrounding us?" Zhao Haiping quickly realized the danger.
The most important thing when a cavalry unit is fighting is to maintain mobility at all times.
Once the demon controls a large number of Northern Barbarian light cavalry and surrounds them in a desperate manner, blocking all the players' paths, using the corpses of Northern Barbarian cavalry to surround them and letting them fall into the quagmire, what happens next is very complicated.
It’s difficult.
Maybe all these players will have to return to the resurrection point.
Although there is still one life, this loss is almost unbearable for the player.
The players looked into the distance and saw countless Northern Barbarian cavalry coming in like a black tide, which indeed brought them a great sense of oppression.
Although the Northern Barbarian cavalry had suffered a lot of losses in previous battles, the numerical gap between the two sides was still very large at this time.
"What should I do? How about letting other players rush out to respond?" Some players asked.
Sheng Taizu reined in his horse and said, "Why are you panicking? The infantry phalanx is right not to move. It's just a rabble. You still want to stop us?"
"Let us test you. If you want to return to the infantry formation, how should you go?"
The players were stunned, but quickly reacted.
Yes, the infantry can't come to save us, but we can fight back!
The infantry square formation is not a solid square formation. There is still a lot of space in the middle. The cavalry can enter the infantry square formation first and then find the right time to rush out.
Of course, completing this operation requires very tacit cooperation, but in any case, this is already the best option at the moment.
If that’s the case…
Well, in fact, most of the players present have already done this question.
Isn't this the content that was tested in the copy of "Exploring the Bag and Fetching Objects"?
Find the weak spot in the enemy's formation and break through it, finally reaching a specific location.
It's just that the last step in the dungeon where you searched for items was to kill the enemy general in formation, but the current situation is to return to your own army's formation.
Fan Cun said very proudly: "Your Majesty, I can do it!"
He quickly explained his thoughts.
Taizu Sheng nodded slightly, then shook his head: "Well, yes, that's not right either.
"If you want to return to the military formation in the shortest distance, there is no problem with your route.
"But why do we need to take the shortest distance back to the military formation?
"Come, charge with us!"
When Sheng Taizu picked up the reins of his horse, the war horse stood upright, its front legs lifted off the ground, and then rushed towards the weak position of the Northern Barbarian cavalry in front!
Other cavalry players also followed suit.
…
The other players in the military formation have now finished reorganizing themselves, and the players who have just been resurrected have also been reorganized into the queue.
Before getting orders from General Deng, they had no way to rush out to meet the enemy and could only watch the performance of these cavalry players helplessly.
Under the leadership of Sheng Taizu, they were seen fighting from left to right, fighting continuously.
Sometimes he rushes straight towards two groups of Northern Barbarian cavalry and forces his way through the gap in the middle; sometimes he suddenly turns his horse's head and bites a weaker light cavalry and slashes at it wildly; sometimes he is about to be surrounded.
But somehow he found a gap and escaped from the encirclement...
Four words appeared in the minds of all players: Take a leisurely stroll!
Although the speed of heavy cavalry is not as fast as that of light cavalry, under the leadership of Sheng Taizu, these players, who can be called the low-end version of General Qin Kaiyun, reproduced the cool maneuvers of beheading enemy generals in the cavalry trial, and slipped away the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Round and round.
Those who can run fast cannot defeat these players; those who can beat a dozen cannot catch up with these players.
After successive battles, a large number of Northern Barbarian corpses were left on the battlefield.
But it can be seen that the physical strength of the players and the physical strength of the war horses are rapidly depleted. If this continues, the situation will become precarious.
The pursuit of the Northern Barbarian cavalry has become more urgent. It seems that the demon has also seen this. Even if these cavalry are spared, the player's cavalry will be trapped to death!
But at this time, the cavalry players finally arrived in front of the infantry formation.
With a "swish", a hole immediately opened on the side facing the cavalry players.
The players who originally held the spears quickly moved the chariots away and placed the spears on the ground, allowing the cavalry players to quickly enter.
The galloping horses' hooves brought up a lot of smoke and dust, and each cavalry player successfully returned to the team.
But closely followed were the Northern Barbarian cavalry controlled by demons.
At this time, these cavalrymen seemed to be red-eyed, following the player's cavalry team regardless, trying to rush into the formation.
Because once they rush in, it is very likely that the entire military formation will completely collapse!
However, they were not successful.
Because before they got close to the military formation, a large number of long-range weapons had already locked onto them.
Many bows, arrows, muskets and artillery have been gathered in advance, and they are firing wildly at the Northern Barbarian cavalry following the cavalry players!
Although some players were too excited and caused accidental injuries, causing the cavalry players who were lagging behind to curse at the resurrection point, in general, the price paid by the monsters was still much higher than that of the players.
When the last cavalry player entered the military formation, the innermost players picked up their spears again to block the gap.
Not long after, the gap was completely blocked again, leaving only a large number of corpses of the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
The cavalry players who returned to the military formation dismounted one after another and lay on the ground panting.
"Stimulate!"
"It's so exciting. I haven't felt so good about killing in a long time!"
"I'm completely exhausted, let me take a rest..."
This charge required a huge amount of physical energy, but the players were still unsatisfied.
The demon controlled the Northern Barbarian cavalry and attacked the players' military formation with great anger, but ultimately ended in failure.
Sheng Taizu got off his horse and looked at the players lying on the ground: "You juniors, your physical strength is so poor! Where are you now?
"However, your talents are quite good and you can all be made of them."
Zhao Haiping asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
After returning to the military formation, it was safe for the time being, but if both sides continued to stare at each other like this, they would not be able to eliminate all these monsters.
Taizu Sheng chuckled: "Isn't this difficult to handle?
"When your physical strength is restored, then go out and kill again.
"At this point, we already have an advantage in terms of troop strength. When the advantage is large enough, the infantry can leave the vehicle formation and attack.
"When the time comes, we can naturally go head-to-head and eat all these cavalry!"
General Deng asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty Taizu, I heard... In the early years of our reign, we could even use infantry to chase down cavalry. Is this possible?"
Taizu Sheng nodded: "Of course, the powerful soldiers of the Huaihe River cannot be matched by the fine cavalry. However, the conditions for the infantry to chase down the cavalry are harsh, and it is not possible every time."
General Deng sighed with emotion: "If I had such powerful soldiers at that time, why would I bother to study the chariot formation."
General Deng became a famous general by relying on a set of concepts of army reorganization and military management. In particular, he was at the forefront of the world in the coordination of multiple arms.
But the reason ultimately lies in the decline in the quality of soldiers in the middle and late periods of the Dasheng Dynasty.
The combat effectiveness of the guardsmen has collapsed, and there are endless problems of being left without pay. Even if the soldiers are specially recruited for training, they will definitely still not be as good as the elites who fought in all battles at the founding of the country.
The appearance of General Deng in the mid-to-late Dasheng Dynasty can be said to be a blessing for the country. However, for General Deng, he was not able to see the grand scene at the beginning of the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty and to fight with General Gu Yuan and others. After all, it was a bit disappointing.
Pity.
Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky continued to roll and roll, and the color of the sky became darker.
The players couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Obviously, the demon finally lost his temper.
They can all guess the next scenario. Mostly the demons will concentrate their power on a few elite northern barbarians to make a last desperate charge. However, the players can also send out elite cavalry, so no matter how they fight, in the end
The player must win.
The cavalry players have already stood up and prepared to mount their horses.
Sure enough, the dark clouds in the sky continued to roll, and the demonic energy from all the Northern Barbarian cavalry was drawn away, rising into the sky like black smoke pillars!
Powerful evil energy lingers in the air.
Although a large number of demons have been eliminated before, the concentrated demonic energy at this moment cannot be underestimated.
But then, something happened that surprised everyone.
The demonic energy in the sky was no longer injected into the bodies of a few barbarian soldiers, but simply dissipated.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Chu Ge seemed to see a blurry face in the dark clouds. He glanced here reluctantly, as if he wanted to find someone hiding in it.
It's just that it doesn't dare to really try, because if it continues to search like this, it may not be able to escape, or even if it escapes, its vitality will be severely damaged.
Eventually, the black air in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again.
Li Hongyun held up his musket and looked around blankly: "This monster... escaped?"
Other players also looked confused.
This is a scam!
Why don’t the designers of this game follow the rules?
It stands to reason that we are about to reach the climax of the level, right? Then shouldn't the next step be for the demons to concentrate their strength and make a desperate move, with both sides fighting to the death, and in the end the players will gain a hearty victory?
What's going on now?
The demon realized that he had no chance of winning, so he ran away??
This game is simply not too realistic...
Chu Ge analyzed: "It seems that the difficulty of this game is indeed increasing.
“I don’t think this is a mistake in game design. It can only be said that the enemies we encounter are getting smarter and more cunning.
"The monster we encountered this time was obviously very smart. Not only did it change its tactics during the battle and not fight us to the death, but it could also clearly understand the current situation. Once it realized that it had no chance of winning, it ran away decisively, preventing us from pursuing the victory.
opportunity.
"Everyone still needs to be mentally prepared. Maybe the monsters we encounter in the future will be more cunning and even crush us in terms of IQ..."
The players nodded one after another, thinking that Chu Ge's analysis made sense.
General Deng's body began to gradually become transparent. He was summoned as a heroic spirit. At this time, his mission had been completed and he could no longer survive.
"My dear warriors, I am glad to fight alongside you.
"See you next time." General Deng waved goodbye to the players.
The players are still a little reluctant to give up.
"Thank you General Deng!"
"Goodbye General Deng! Looking forward to fighting side by side next time!"
As General Deng's figure gradually disappears, the fog in the player's field of vision begins to fill in, which means that tonight's long battle is finally coming to an end.
It's just that many players are still full of reluctance.
"Huh? Is this the end?"
"I still want to chat with His Majesty a few more words..."
"Officially give me two more minutes!"
But their calls didn't seem to be heard by the administrator of the game. Soon, each player disappeared from the battlefield and returned to reality.
Taizu Sheng looked into the distance and sighed softly.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, he still liked these juniors.
They have a special kind of vitality, optimism, positivity, and a special mark of the times.
I originally wanted to have a good chat with these young people, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't have the opportunity after all.
Sheng Taizu felt the last time, and he knew that he could not exist for too long as a heroic spirit. After this historical slice was completely corrected, his mission had been completed, and he would naturally return to history.
"You are the only one who put things into order, right?" Sheng Taizu turned around and saw Meng Yuan, the only one who was still there.
Meng Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty is indeed a smart man."
Taizu Sheng chuckled: "It's not that he's smart, it's just that he has seen and remembered more things than other heroic spirits.
"At the beginning, my mind was blank, but now, some pictures suddenly came to mind.
"Actually, I have met some other Sequenders, but...you are indeed the most special one."
Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Other orderers? What do they look like?"
Sheng Taizu seemed to be lost in memories: "How should I put it... Of course they are all very good young men, and many of them are somewhat like us.
"It's just that we always thought that this might not be a good thing."
Meng Yuan: "Why?"
Sheng Taizu sighed softly: "The sense of mission is so strong that I do everything myself, always urging myself to keep fighting...
"We fight against others, and even when we are seventy years old, we still feel that we are not strong enough. But they are fighting against monsters. How can they persevere on their own?"
He said, turning to look at Meng Yuan: "You seem to be very different from them, I hope you can succeed.
"I'm almost here, it's time to go."
Just as Sheng Taizu was about to leave, he was stopped by Meng Yuan again.
"Please stay.
"You said before that you wanted to talk to these juniors. Do you still have such thoughts at this time?"
Taizu Sheng was a little surprised: "The power of those who restore order is precious, there is no need to waste it on such meaningless things."
Meng Yuan shook his head: "No, I think this is not meaningless.
"I would like to arrange a dialogue for His Majesty with future generations. Although most of these memories cannot be brought back to history by Your Majesty, for future generations, this is a very precious thing."
Taizu Sheng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Then it's up to you."
…
Sheng Taizu in heroic spirit state also gradually disappeared, but Meng Yuan had a feeling that he could summon Sheng Taizu at any time and let him exist temporarily.
This was the first time after Meng Yuan became an Orderer that he came into contact with a heroic spirit that could single-handedly influence the entire era.
Similarly, many new concepts about these heroic spirits also appeared in Meng Yuan's mind.
Heroic spirits are the incarnations of heroic figures in history. They exist in many historical slices, and the sequencer can have a specific connection with them in the process of correcting the historical slices.
A heroic spirit like General Deng can be said to have determined the history of a certain dynasty for decades by relying on his personal abilities. He can consume the power of the Orderer to summon, but he cannot retain any information about other Orderers.
memory.
But Sheng Taizu is different. He is the highest-level heroic spirit. It can be said that he created a new era entirely by relying on his own abilities, affecting history for hundreds of years in the future. Moreover, he himself is the anchor, and it can even be said that he has already
became part of history.
Therefore, he can retain some of his own memories and remember some of the previous orderers. And these memories of his will continue to revive after being summoned.
This also means that the level of heroic spirit Sheng Taizu is one level higher than that of General Deng.
Of course, summoning it requires more power.
At present, Meng Yuan's power is not luxurious enough to allow players to summon Sheng Taizu every time. This time, he can be summoned because he happens to be in this historical slice.
But there is no problem in summoning him for a short time and letting him have a conversation with the player.
Of course, Meng Yuan had more important things to do before that.
That is to let the ginseng merchant absorb the power contained in this historical slice and continue to think about the longer history!
