In the sky, there are flying sand and rocks, and black smoke is billowing!
Boundless dark clouds spread from the distance and soon darkened the entire sky. The whining black wind was mixed with sandstorms, and the surrounding visibility also dropped sharply.
"coming!"
Many players instantly realized that the demons were gradually expanding into this historical slice, which meant that a war between the two sides was about to begin.
But compared to before, this situation is obviously a little special.
Meng Yuan hid in the crowd and heard the merchant's voice in his mind.
"The bogeyman is trying to deep-block this slice of history!"
Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What is deep shielding?"
Shen Shang explained: "This is a special method of demons. In the historical slice they control, very powerful demons can release a large amount of demonic energy to infect all environments in the entire historical slice, making the entire historical slice
It has become a state of serious unknown opacity to us all!
"This method consumes a lot of demonic energy. Only Demon Lord Chi You can use it. The power of other great demons is simply not enough."
Meng Yuan understood instantly, this meant that Chi You had prescribed a super enhanced version of the fog of war for them!
Of course, the fog of war also existed in the original battlefield.
Every time a demon appears, it is accompanied by billowing black smoke in the sky and dark clouds covering the sun, but that is more of a visual effect with a strong sense of oppression.
The demon mobilizes magic energy from the sky and can quickly release magic soldiers onto the battlefield. However, this kind of magic energy can at best make the visibility on the battlefield a little lower. It can't even be called the fog of war.
What's more, players can communicate with each other in real time. What is happening in every corner of the entire battlefield can be reported, filtered, summarized, and refined into the command center through a collection of messages, which can then be processed and issued by the command center.
This means that in the eyes of players, although the fog of war exists, it is not well-known.
But now, Demon Lord Chi You seems to be aware of this, and he uses demonic energy to deeply shield this historical slice at all costs. The result is that the demonic energy, along with the wind and sand that originally existed in the desert, not only seriously obscures the players'
Their field of vision also limited their means of communication.
In the sky full of wind and sand, the players quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Sea level? Sea level?
"Elite Cavalry Regiment? Can anyone hear me?"
The players were still trying to communicate in the channel, but they were soon shocked to find that they had completely lost contact with the army that followed General Wei Huo!
No matter how I called, I never received any reply.
As for the players on General Weihuo's side, did they hear the call of the large army at all, or did they hear it but were unable to answer? The vast majority of players preferred the former.
"What's going on? Why is the communication still disconnected?"
"Is there a bug in the game?"
"Don't we need two armies to cooperate with each other? How can we cooperate with each other?"
The players were a little commotion for a while. This sudden situation that was completely different from the past made them panic for a while.
Even Chu Ge and others who were considering and formulating tactics were confused. What kind of plan is this?
That army has completely lost its trace!
…
On the other side, Zhao Haiping, Fan Cun and a group of the most elite cavalry players possessed General Wei Huo's soldiers one after another.
The first time he was possessed, he had an inexplicable feeling that he hadn't seen for a long time.
This feeling comes from the armor and weapons of the Chu Dynasty on my body, and also from the feeling of my feet hanging in the air.
Stirrupless horse, long time no see!
Players have briefly experienced the stirrupless horse in the soldier trial before, and were tortured to death by the stirrup horse in the cavalry trial.
The players who finally obtained the status of cavalry auxiliary all mastered the unique skill of riding stirrupless horses.
But the original meaning of this stunt was just to allow them to be more at ease when riding stirrup horses in other dynasties, so that the waist and horse could be integrated into one.
But now, after coming to the historical slice of the Great Chu Dynasty, riding a stirrupless horse has become a necessary skill.
It is conceivable that if the cavalry trials at that time were based on stirrup horses, then the players would probably only have one talent skill related to riding to maintain their combat effectiveness.
Players all lamented that the design of this game is indeed interlocking. We have prepared so much in advance for everyone to adapt to the stirrupless horse, why don’t they use it now?
But in fact, they didn't know that Meng Yuan actually didn't think that much. When he asked them to ride stirrupless horses, he just thought that resources were limited and he couldn't let everyone ride horses casually, so he just raised the threshold for cavalry status...
…
In short, after discovering that they were possessed by this army, this group of players immediately conducted internal communication.
After a simple regrouping and head count, the players discovered that there were 50,000 people following General Wei Huo.
The current number of closed beta players has reached 300,000, and the 50,000 who can follow General Wei Huo are only one-sixth of the total number.
Moreover, these 50,000 people are elite cavalry and are the family assets of the entire Chu Dynasty. If these 50,000 troops are wiped out, then the Chu Dynasty's war against Beidi will completely collapse, and it will even be impossible to recover for decades.
Therefore, Emperor Wu could only truly rest assured when he handed them over to General Wei Huo.
The first reaction of those players who were lucky enough to be General Wei Huo's lieutenant or the soldiers around him was to take a closer look at General Wei Huo. After all, since the Chu Dynasty, whenever the emperor mentioned the famous generals under his command, he would subconsciously talk to him about it.
General Wei Huo comparison.
However, at this moment, the change happened again.
Black smoke billows in the distance, and dark clouds cover the sun!
Chi You's deep shield on the entire historical slice continued to spread, and soon, the players who followed General Wei Huo found that their connection with the large army was also cut off, and they could not get a response!
Not only that, they also have worse situations than the large army.
They find themselves attrition!
This army of 50,000 people seemed to be shrouded, divided, and surrounded by endless black air. Soon, many players found themselves trapped by black air and unable to move.
Moreover, they did not seem to be trapped in the original area, but fell into a semi-conscious state due to the erosion of the demonic energy, completely separated from the main force!
…
"Meng Yuan, a worse situation has occurred!
"General Wei Huo's team is continuing to penetrate deeper into the desert, so the shielding effect of the demons is stronger. Many people cannot resist the invasion of the demonic energy. They have begun to lose consciousness and cannot continue to move forward!"
Meng Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "How many people will be left behind?"
The businessman's voice was full of worry: "I'm afraid...according to the current situation, if we continue to go deeper without hesitation, I'm afraid there will only be a few hundred enemies left before encountering the first wave of enemies..."
Meng Yuan thought for a while: "General Wei Huo has his own aura of righteousness. What if we use him as an anchor to forcibly instill aura of righteousness to dispel the evil spirit?"
The consultant shook his head and replied: "There won't be any obvious difference. It's deep into the demon's hinterland, and it's difficult for our power to project that far! Moreover, the losses in the process are too great, and the gain is not worth the loss!"
Meng Yuan nodded slightly: "I understand.
"It seems that Chi You is quite smart. He has made it clear that he wants to confront us head-on."
It has to be said that the demon finally learned to become wiser and changed after being beaten repeatedly by the players.
The demon king Chi You has determined that this orderer is very wise and close to a demon, so he will not give the opponent any chance to use tactics at this cost.
With the Mobei Wasteland as the core, Demon Lord Chi You released a large amount of demonic energy, transforming a large area around it into a state covered by the fog of war. Players who sneak in without being able to dispel the fog will be constantly exposed.
Under the influence of demonic energy, he gradually lost consciousness and fell behind.
In the end, there are probably only a few hundred people left who can sneak into Mobei.
But if Meng Yuan uses Haoran Zhengqi to disperse the fog of war on a large scale in the rear, although it will increase his field of vision, it will also instantly expose the players' positions, which is also a very dangerous behavior.
The main force can do this, but if they want to make a surprise attack, it is completely impossible.
Meng Yuan thought for a moment: "Then...if we don't dispel the fog of war and allow hundreds of people to successfully infiltrate, will these hundreds of people transform Haoran's righteousness by eliminating demons and constantly dispel the surrounding demonic energy, will they still be exposed?"
"
Shen Shang: “We can’t completely guarantee that we won’t be exposed, but the possibility will be greatly reduced.
"First of all, these hundreds of people are very small in size, and they are not directly mobilized by the Orderers, so they will not attract much attention from the demons.
"For example, if we directly use the power of the Orderers to dispel the demonic energy for them, it is like throwing a tree out of thin air, then they will eliminate the demons themselves and transform Haoran's righteousness to dispel the demonic energy, just like throwing a tree into
The seeds in the soil will slowly take root and sprout.
"Obviously the latter is less likely to be discovered.
"Secondly, the demon will soon have a decisive battle with us. By then, both of us will be at our wits end and all our attention will be focused on the frontal battlefield.
"Before the decisive battle begins, the demons will focus on the entire battlefield. At this time, we are almost bound to be discovered when we dispel the demonic energy for General Wei Huo's army; but after the decisive battle begins, General Wei Huo and these players will disperse the demonic energy on their own, and the demons will have a high probability.
It's hard to notice.
"But the biggest problem with this is... how to ensure that they can win consecutive battles from the beginning with hundreds of people?"
This is obviously the crux of the problem.
Although there are currently 50,000 players in the player army led by General Wei Huo, these 50,000 people will be constantly eroded by the evil spirit as they go deep into the desert, and most of them will become lost.
When they finally penetrated deep into the desert, General Wei Huo could only have a few hundred men at most.
If these hundreds of people can continuously eliminate demons and obtain demonic energy, then they can use Haoran's righteousness to disperse the surrounding demonic energy. Meng Yuan can also ask Shen Shang to find the previously lost players and use General Weihuo as an anchor.
, and re-submit it.
In this way, the 50,000 troops can be gradually rolled back in a snowballing manner.
However, if any battle fails during this period and encounters an enemy far more powerful than oneself, then the entire snowballing process will be interrupted instantly, and the entire plan will fail.
Although the main force of monsters is the large-scale duel between players, there are also a large number of Beidi natives and scattered monster forces in the desert.
In terms of strength, they still have an overwhelming advantage over these hundreds of people.
Meng Yuan did not spend too much time thinking: "It doesn't matter, I choose to believe General Wei Huo! This matter may be difficult for others, but for him, a humanoid self-propelled GPS locator, there is no problem!"
After making up his mind, Meng Yuan immediately released the news in the form of an announcement to inform the players of his battle plan.
Although General Wei Huo's team had begun to be disturbed by the demonic energy and lost contact with other players, Meng Yuan could still send a message to them directly using the power of the Orderer.
【Attention all players!】
[General Wei Huo’s expedition force has been disturbed by demons, and will continue to experience attrition as it goes deep into enemy territory, and some players will be infected by demons and fall behind!]
[Follow General Wei Huo to defeat the demons, you can dispel the demonic energy and let the players trapped by the demonic energy return to the team!]
