On the edge of the wilderness outside the Fortress of the Orderer, water-like patterns appeared.
A Dongyi bandit walked out of the disorderly flow of time and space and looked around.
Immediately afterwards, more Dongyi bandits appeared.
All of them exuded a vague black aura, wore armor on their upper bodies, had swords hanging from their waists, and some carried matchlock guns.
There are more than four hundred people in total, and they are all the elite forces among the Dongyi bandits.
If in the middle and late period of the Dasheng Dynasty, such a team of bandits would have been rampant in the southeast, and ordinary guardsmen would not be able to resist it.
Immediately afterwards, water wave-like patterns also appeared in the space not far away.
A Northern Barbarian cavalry unit appeared.
These Northern Barbarian cavalry were composed of a small number of heavy cavalry and a large number of light cavalry, and were also well-equipped.
However, their number is much smaller than that of the Dongyi bandits, with only about two hundred people, including less than fifty heavily armored cavalry.
The demons headed by the Dongyi bandits and the Northern Barbarian cavalry looked at each other.
"We were here first!"
"So what? Whoever robs the most things belongs to whom!"
"Strange, this place is clearly a slice of history that has been invaded and retaken. Why isn't it blocked?"
"Act separately and stay away from us!"
The two groups of demons quickly separated and attacked Linyuan City in the distance from different directions.
Obviously, these two groups of monsters thought they had found a piece of fat!
After the historical slice is corrected by the sequencer, the barriers will generally be rebuilt. But now, this historical slice is completely undefended, which means that they only need to simply clean up the aboriginal phantoms in it.
You can slice this history up again and eat it.
As for the phantoms of the indigenous people, they are basically nothing to worry about.
Therefore, these two groups of monsters disdain to cooperate with each other and just want to clean up the aborigines in this slice as soon as possible.
However, the Northern Barbarian cavalry troops were riding horses after all, and their speed was much faster than these Dongyi bandits, and the gap between the two sides gradually widened.
"What should I do? They seem to be entering the city first!" A bandit's eyes exuded black energy, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with this.
The leader of the bandits didn't care: "It doesn't matter, just let them rush in front! A bunch of brainless idiots.
"The terrain of this city is obviously not simple. If these cavalry attack the city rashly, they may not be able to capture it. Let's find a way to get in from the side and reap the benefits!"
Obviously, these demons who appear as Eastern barbarian bandits have significantly higher IQs than those Northern barbarian cavalry.
They saw from a distance that the terrain of Linyuan City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that attacking from the main gate on the west would probably be frustrated, so they thought that by taking a detour from other directions, they might be able to find a gap and sneak into the city directly.
After all, they are infantry. Although they are not as fast as the Northern Barbarian cavalry in terms of movement speed, they have great advantages in climbing mountains and cities.
However, before they reached the walls of Linyuan City, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There was a rumbling tremor on the ground.
The leader of the thieves frowned, and his eyes filled with black smoke were full of doubts.
cavalry?
And not just one or two cavalry, but at least hundreds of cavalry?
The first reaction of these demons was that more demons in the form of northern barbarian cavalry were rushing towards here, wanting to snatch this slice of history.
Because the cavalry that appeared at this time was almost certainly the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
At first, this historical slice was just a small historical slice of the middle and late period of the Great Prosperity Dynasty, "The matter has to be settled, but the coffin must be closed". Later, although the two historical slices of "The title of a prince was not my intention" and "The heroic spirit of a reckless mind" were added,
That doesn't mean it's a "recklessly heroic" scale slice.
Because the main forces in the historical slice have been absorbed by Ginseng and transformed into the power of the sequencer.
The remaining historical slices are merged into the orderer's forts and fiefs, so the current size of this historical slice is only equivalent to a medium-sized historical slice.
According to the demon's original experience, this level of historical slicing was mostly seen in the middle of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
At that time, the Great Sheng Dynasty had entered a stage of transition from prosperity to decline, and there were no longer so many elite cavalry available. Compared with when Taizu Sheng personally conquered the Northern Barbarians, it was far behind.
Therefore, even if there are still phantoms of aborigines in this historical slice, they should appear in the form of infantry, or at most, elite infantry trained by General Deng.
It cannot be said that there is absolutely no cavalry, but basically they will not appear on a large scale.
And now, judging from the tremors on the ground, this is obviously the movement caused by the cavalry running wildly!
The bandit turned to look in the direction where the vibration came from, and found bursts of smoke rising in the distance.
What vaguely appeared in the smoke and dust was not the figure of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, but an army wearing the armor of the Dasheng Dynasty!
The armors worn by these people are not very uniform. Although the styles are all Shengjun's armors, some are relatively simple and some are very gorgeous. The armors worn on the war horses are also different.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, each player's financial resources are different. Some spend money on weapons and some spend money on armor. So looking at it from a distance, it looks a bit like a miscellaneous army...
But at this time, the charging momentum of these more than a hundred cavalry was like a thunder, rolling in!
"What's going on! Why do the aboriginal phantoms here have cavalry!"
"How to fight?"
"Asshole! Don't back away!"
"There are just dozens of cavalry, they are not difficult to deal with! Prepare your muskets!"
The bandit leader gave the order, and the bandits carrying muskets hurriedly lit the matchsticks and started loading ammunition.
Compared with the flintlock gun, a very inconvenient aspect of the matchlock gun is the way of ignition.
On the one hand, its loading speed is much slower than that of a flintlock gun. Most matchlock guns can only load one round per minute, while a flintlock gun can load two to three rounds. On the other hand, the matchlock on the matchlock gun can be loaded with two to three rounds.
It is easy to ignite the gunpowder carried by the musketeer. Its trigger probability and damage rate are higher than that of exploding the barrel.
Generally speaking, a matchlock will ignite when it encounters an enemy. Otherwise, the matchlock will keep burning, and it is easy to find that the matchlock has been burned out while firing.
But when encountering cavalry troops, this disadvantage was infinitely magnified.
This is also the reason why in the age of matchlocks, you cannot use the tactic of lining up to kill, nor can you attack cavalry units head-on. They must be protected by other arms.
While these bandits were busy preparing to load their matchlock guns, other bandits were naturally not idle either.
Some thieves quickly took off their bows, strung them, and shot arrows at the player's cavalry units.
However, these bows and arrows were unable to cause any effective damage when they hit the players' armor, and most players did not even take it seriously.
Armored cavalry are so arrogant against ordinary archers. If they move, I will lose!
Before a blink of an eye, the two sides were already close.
Although some players also carry riding bows or three-eyed muskets, they are charging with heavy cavalry at this time, so they have no use for these.
Everyone clenched the spears in their hands and faced these bandits, charging straight at them unreasonably!
"kill!"
The thieves in the front row looked ferocious, and one after another took out their barbarian knives and raised them high.
Obviously, of all the equipment on their bodies, they still trust the Yi Dao the most.
However, before their swords could even be cut down, the spear in the player's hand had already penetrated deeply into their chests!
In an instant, these demons were pushed backwards by the spears. The impact of the war horses was like the weight of Mount Tai, which was impossible to withstand!
Although some thieves' barbarian swords hit the players' horses in the chaos, they basically did not cause much damage when the horses were armored.
Except for a few unlucky ones who fell off their horses due to being hit in vulnerable positions unprotected by their armor, most of the players escaped unscathed in this round of confrontation.
"boom!"
"Bang bang!"
The matchlock guns in the hands of some bandits finally fired.
Although the accuracy of the matchlock gun was not good, the cavalry was a large target after all, and several players were killed immediately.
It's just that these casualties are not important to the players at all.
The war horses galloped past and took away dozens of bandits in an instant.
Zhao Haiping reined in the horse and took these players in a circle, returning again.
Many players ridiculed players who fell off their horses or came back to the spawn point.
"Isn't it true? You can fall off a horse even if you fight a few thieves? How did you pass the driving test at that time?"
Although the number of thieves is four times that of these players, no player regards them as a formidable opponent.
On this flat terrain, in front of the armored cavalry, although the swords of the Dongyi bandits were sharp, they were unable to function at all.
The only thing that can barely pose a threat to the cavalry is the matchlock, but the reloading speed of the matchlock is too slow, and the thieves do not have the European emperor attributes of Li Hongyun. Players have already turned their heads and rushed to the second round.
, there were still many thieves busy stuffing pellets into their matchlock guns.
It's just that they didn't have the chance to fire a second shot. Some thieves were already knocked away by the players' spears while they were loading. Some thieves were smarter and quickly dropped their guns and drew out their sabers to try for close combat, but this didn't work.
The final result cannot be changed.
The length of the barbarian sword is really too short for the cavalry's spear.
It was okay for these thieves to bully the guards who were on the verge of collapse in the middle and late stages of the Dasheng Dynasty, but if they really encountered a regular cavalry unit, they would only be beaten.
The players rushed back and forth several times and quickly killed these bandits cleanly.
Even if some thieves find that something is wrong and want to escape, they cannot outrun the four legs of the war horse. The final result is nothing more than the difference between being stabbed from the front or from the back.
Several players also played a cat-and-mouse game, watching the escaping bandits. Instead of stabbing them to death with spears, they used riding bows or three-eyed blunderbuss to kill them.
These monsters never figured out what was going on until they died.
Why are the indigenous people here so cruel?
The feeling of the cavalry rushing towards them does not feel like a battle at all, but like some kind of pleasant hunting like strolling...
Not long after, this group of 400 thieves and bandits had been completely wiped out by the players.
When the dust settled, the players dismounted and cleaned the battlefield.
Players have completely despised the armor and barbarian bows worn by thieves. The only thing they still like more is the barbarian sword.
After all, the shape of the barbarian sword is good, and it is easy to use. Although these cavalry players mainly use long spears and waist knives in actual combat, and basically no longer use the barbarian sword, it is also very good as a personal trophy collection.
"The thieves who were originally difficult to deal with have finally turned into monsters that give away experience." Some players lamented.
I have to say that this change is quite obvious.
In the past, players had been tortured by these Eastern Yi thieves in the dungeon "The Final Decision Has to Be Closed", especially the sharp Yi knives, which put great pressure on them.
But now, one hundred cavalry can grind four hundred bandits to the ground, and the sharp barbarian swords are completely useless.
Zhao Haiping smiled: "Yes, after all, we are constantly upgrading.
"Furthermore, the Dongyi bandits in history were originally a group of rogue bandits. The reason why they were able to struggle for so long was simply because the regular army did not have time to fight.
"For the Great Sheng Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians are the greater threat."
Soon, another player arrived, but unfortunately, the battlefield had already been cleaned.
These players will inevitably sigh with regret, having missed out on the vain rewards.
It can only be said that Zhao Haiping and his group were relatively lucky. They happened to be wandering around here and encountered this group of thieves who had just been refreshed, and they were eliminated by the way.
"It seems that there is another group of Northern Barbarian cavalry going to attack Linyuan City? Do you want to catch up?" a player said.
Zhao Haiping shook his head slightly: "No need, others have probably eliminated them by now."
