The ground began to rumble and tremble.
Then, a huge crack appeared.
The Fortress of the Orderer is like a giant ship, rising directly from the ground, breaking out of the ground, and forcibly connected with this slice of history!
In previous Orderer expeditions, due to the special circumstances of historical slicing, the entire Orderer fortress could not be moved here. Players were only projected into and fight the monsters on their home court.
But obviously, things are different this time.
Meng Yuan and Shenshang are floating in the air. At this time, they are invisible to the player and the demon.
Conceal yourself and observe the situation on the entire battlefield at the same time so that you can make changes at any time.
"Fei Lian and Xing Tian did not focus their main efforts on preventing us from cracking the core of the slice.
“That’s good news and bad news.
"More players can enter the final trial, and during the final trial they can let go of their hands and perform whatever they want. But it also means that in the stage of the Orderer's expedition, the battlefield will be wider, and we will face More powerful demon power."
The consultant briefly analyzed the current situation.
Compared to Xing Tian, who has no head and no brain, Fei Lian is obviously better at tricks.
Of course, Fei Lian is not the great demon who is best at tricks. What he is really best at is mobility.
Commonly known as escape.
But in any case, Fei Lian's intelligence level should not be shown to be so low.
And there's obviously a reason for this.
For these big demons, there are only two ways to protect the tampered slice of history. One relies on ingenuity, while the other relies on brute force.
If you rely on ingenuity, then tamper with the images of key figures in the historical slice, and at the same time hide the core of the historical slice layer by layer, so that the sequencer can only project a small amount of power to enter.
For example, in the previous historical slices of the Dasheng Dynasty, players had to find specific historical figures who had been tampered with before they could pass the level.
In this process, it is inevitable to have to battle wits and courage with the demon.
But the problem is that once the hidden core of the demon is cracked, the demon and the orderer will be at a clear disadvantage in the future.
Because the demon's demonic power is limited, if more demonic power is used to twist the characters in the slice, less demonic power will be used for fighting.
And if you rely on brute force, then the demon will often not tamper with key figures or create too many puzzles, but will tend to simply and crudely strengthen the existing negative characters in this historical slice.
Whether it is a foreign race like Jin Bing or a treacherous minister like Qin Huizhi, in short, simple strengthening can further increase the existing difficulties, thus causing greater obstacles to those who return to order.
The advantage of this is that although the sequencer does not need to spend too much effort to crack it, but only needs to solve the problem based on the original idea, but then he will have to face a more powerful demon army.
In other words, if the demon plays brains with the Orderer, once it loses, it will be at a disadvantage in the subsequent battle;
On the other hand, if the demons and the orderers compete for strength, even if the core is cracked in the final trial, they can still concentrate a large amount of demon power to fight back.
For demons, fighting wits or fighting head-on has its own advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on the choice.
This historical slice is the result of the fusion of two historical slices, and there are two great demons, Fei Lian and Xing Tian, sitting in charge.
Fei Lian had already realized from the dungeon of Dasheng Dynasty that the people who were reordering this time were very difficult to deal with, and it was impossible to use their brains.
It once set up many puzzles that it could be proud of in the historical slices of the Great Sheng Dynasty. As a result, these puzzles were solved at the speed of light by this new sequencer, and they did not play any role at all.
Therefore, this time it cooperates with the brainless Xing Tian and does not expect its puzzles to stop players at all.
Naturally, there was no twisting of characters or similar meaningless attempts in Qi Dynasty's copy.
It joined forces with Xingtian to use the powerful demonic energy of the two great demons to directly overwhelm these orderers with hard power!
I have to say, this is also a good idea.
This historical slice is the fusion of two historical slices. It is huge and can withstand more demonic energy.
Fei Lian and Xing Tian obviously wanted to use their absolute strength to defeat cleverness!
…
On the vast land, the Fortress of the Order rises from the ground.
Since there were no special obstacles this time and the space was open enough, Meng Yuan and Canshang naturally successfully moved all the historical slices where the Orderer's Fortress was located.
At this time, the main battlefield of the Orderer's expedition happened to be near Daliang City, the original capital of the Qi Dynasty!
This is the place where Jingping's shame happened.
In fact, there are many battlefields in this historical slice that can be selected as battlefields for the war, such as the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, such as Yancheng, and Tong'an City in Xixia, etc.
But this time the battle was ultimately chosen near the capital where the Jingping Incident took place.
The main reason is obviously that there is a vast plain around here and there is no danger to defend!
This is the best news for the demon.
In the distance, countless black clouds can be seen gathering from all directions.
Under the dark clouds, there are a large number of troops.
There are the Jin cavalry, Tiefu Tu and Guaizima; there are the heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry of the Northern Barbarians; there are various armies and infantry recruited by the Jin people, as well as the powerful siege troops of the Northern Barbarians!
There are even a large number of craftsmen among the Northern Barbarians.
They are building huge returning artillery pieces on the battlefield outside.
In real history, the Northern Barbarians conquered Xiangyang through returning artillery and destroyed the Qi Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Previously, players had recreated the Huihui Cannon in the Ultimate Trial, relying on the unique talents of Shenji players. The demon, on the other hand, can directly obtain this kind of killer weapon from historical slices, and use demonic energy to directly enhance its power.
And the players have already arrived one after another at this time.
Just taking a look at the demon's strength from a distance, the players couldn't help but look solemn.
The strength displayed by the demon this time is obviously far greater than any before!
And the players must also rely on the strong city to fight a defensive counterattack.
Players such as Chu Ge, Zhao Haiping and others stood on a high place, overlooking the golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers gathering in the distance like a colony of ants, and they couldn't help but feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, for Chu Ge, there is one thing to be thankful for at this time.
That is the construction of the Fortress of the Orderer, which has never been left behind!
So far, the Fortress of the Orderer has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning, the Fortress of the Order had only one strong city, surrounded by water on three sides and facing mountains on one side. Because the terrain was very close to Linyuan City, which historically blocked the "God's Whip-Breaking Place" of the Northern Barbarians, it was also named after Linyuan City. .
After that, the players not only continued to improve the city defense of Linyuan City, but also reshaped the terrain and developed two other highlands after expanding the area of the Orderer Fortress.
But now, the Fortress of the Orderer has actually surrounded Linyuan City, building a three-dimensional defense system with three cities that are at odds with each other.
Limited by the resources at the players' disposal, the other two acropolises are obviously not as impregnable as Linyuan City. However, whether it is the city walls or the defenses in the city, the players have also worked hard to move bricks to improve them. An extremely high degree.
Moreover, the three cities can also communicate with each other and support each other through various channels such as water divisions, secret passages, plank roads, etc., which further enhances the defense of the entire Orderer fortress.
If the players had only thought about conquering the dungeon before and not continued to move bricks in the Orderer's fortress, then it was hard to say whether the lonely Linyuan City could block the demon army at this time.
At this time, at least the players have a little more confidence.
Under the management of the heroic spirit Prime Minister Wang Wenchuan, the Fortress of the Orderer has been prospering and developing quite well.
However, the Prime Minister Wang Wenchuan can only appear in a peaceful state, so he cannot follow the players into the Orderer expedition and confront the monsters head-on.
I have to say that this is a bit regretful. Although Wang Wenchuan did not have any experience in commanding city defense battles in history, considering that he is also a ruler after all, he has the ability to govern. If he really gets the right opportunity, he can show his ability like Li Boxi. A certain degree of military ability is also possible.
In short, both sides have staked their full weight on this slice of history.
Chu Ge gave an order: "Attention, all players! Immediately follow the previous arrangements to defend the three cities! Everyone is in position! The leaders of each team should pay attention to counting the number of people, closely observe the battlefield situation, and report at any time!"
Viewed from a high altitude, both the Orderers and the Demons have begun intensive preparations.
The war is about to break out!
On the Orderer side, the number of players has reached 150,000.
Since the scale of this battlefield is very large and the historical slice does not impose too strict restrictions on the number of people who can enter, these 150,000 players can barely enter the place and experience the gameplay of the Orderer Expedition.
And this is also the largest large-scale national war that players have experienced since the game "Dark Sand" was launched.
If it were placed in ancient times, with a total of 150,000 soldiers, this would already be a super war that could determine the fate of the country.
After all, judging from the situation in ancient times, 150,000 soldiers often required two or three times the number of logistics personnel, so there is nothing wrong with claiming an army of 500,000.
The special nature of the players determines that their 150,000 people are actually 150,000 combat troops, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the gold content of this battle.
According to the previous arrangement, 50,000 of the 150,000 people were directly responsible for the defense of Linyuan City, while the other two acropolis each had 20,000 people for defense.
In addition, the other 60,000 people are used for special purposes such as elite cavalry units, naval units, firearms units, mobile units, and reserve units.
Each player still has one chance to be resurrected, which means that 150,000 players have a total of 300,000 lives.
This can be said to be an extremely terrifying number in previous expeditions of the Orderers.
But in this expedition of the Orderers, facing the enemies coming like waves, they were still at a disadvantage.
This time the demon controlled not only a large number of Jin troops, but also a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers. A cursory glance revealed that there were probably as many as four to five million in the densely packed buildings that could not be seen.
Nearly 600,000 people gathered in this tiny land. A war of this scale was rare in Chinese history.
Compared to the demon army, which is almost like a tide coming from all directions without any structure but with a sense of oppression, the actions of the players can be said to be very organized.
A large number of players quickly left Linyuan City and headed to the other two Acropolis passes, while the navy, cavalry, Shenji Battalion and other players also began to take up their positions.
…
Black smoke rose in the sky, and the two great demons Fei Lian and Xing Tian also looked down at the battlefield, with a strong aura that they wanted to eat all the players alive.
"That despicable Orderer must be somewhere in the largest city."
Xing Tian stared at Linyuan City at the highest point, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.
Although it has no head, it uses its breasts as eyes, and the black air jumps like flames between the gaps in the armor, giving it a terrifying sense of oppression.
In the previous dungeon where it was "still reluctant to talk," it was able to fully understand the viciousness of this Orderer.
From the beginning to the end, only some aboriginal phantoms were allowed to fight the demons, and they did not appear until Xing Tian was furious and exhausted.
Fei Lian hovered at the side: "Yes, but it is almost impossible for us to catch him.
"Concentrate all your strength and completely crush the entire slice of history, only then can you possibly find him!"
Xing Tian opened his mouth wide and let out a rumbling roar: "Attack!"
On the river surrounding Linyuan City, Jin Bing's ship appeared.
These ships are similar to those that appeared in the Battle of Niuzhuji. They are not equipped with any particularly powerful weapons, and their only function is to transport troops.
But at this time, a faint demonic energy lingered in it, which significantly improved its defense.
"The Navy is out to fight!"
The players could no longer hold back any longer. The loach boats were moving like flying, and they filed out from the Navy Pier in Linyuan City and met the Jin's warships on the vast river.
Outside Linyuan City, at the relatively wide west gate, a large number of Northern barbarian craftsmen have begun to build return cannons in the open space.
The Jin people's signing army transported a large number of trees cut down from the surrounding area, cut them into suitable sizes, and then assembled them by these Northern barbarian craftsmen.
With the blessing of the power of demons, these people did not feel tired at all, and the construction speed of various siege equipment was naturally greatly improved.
However, while these siege engines were still being constructed, loud noises were heard from the opposite city wall.
"boom!"
There was a sound of artillery, and huge artillery shells roared from the walls of Linyuan City, directly hitting the return cannon under construction!
This time the monster's military strength was unprecedentedly abundant, so at least ten return cannons were started to be built at the same time.
They were scattered on the gentle slope outside the entire west city gate, surrounded by a large number of Jin soldiers and Northern Barbarian soldiers.
However, the cannonballs roaring from the city wall accurately hit one of the return cannons that was being built.
The heavy solid shell directly smashed the cannon that had just set up the foundation and was assembling the superstructure. At the same time, it still used its remaining power to kill a row of craftsmen and signers who were busy behind the cannon.
Then, the cannonball bounced a few times on the ground and was deeply embedded in the soil.
However, the hit of this cannonball seemed to be due to luck, because there were several cannons on the wall of Linyuan City firing at the same time, but the other cannons only hit the crowd of demons and caused some casualties, but they did not. Other turrets under construction were not hit.
Obviously, the distance between the two sides is still too far.
While the range of both return artillery and heavy artillery is adequate, the longer the range, the less accurate the shots. It is rare to be lucky enough to hit the opponent's siege equipment.
Not long after, the demon side's return cannon was quickly assembled.
"put!"
The demon barbarian soldier gave an order and directly threw the huge boulder weighing three hundred kilograms into the air and flew towards Linyuan City!
With a loud "boom", this heavy boulder hit the wall of Linyuan City.
In an instant, stone debris flew everywhere, and a few unlucky players received their lunches on the spot and went back to resurrect and count down the seconds.
Li Hongyun, who had just fired two cannons on the top of the city, was shaken to his core. It took a while before he finally came back to his senses.
Turning around, he saw that the city wall, which was no more than ten meters away from where he was standing, had been smashed deeply by a huge boulder. There were scattered masonry debris everywhere, and it was a mess.
If it weren't for his good luck, if the shot had landed on his head, he might have had to go back and count the seconds at this time.
"That's unreasonable!"
Li Hongyun couldn't help but be furious. When had he ever suffered such a loss in such a long-range battle?
"Turn the muzzle! I'm going to bring back these cannons!"
The heavy cannon began to turn around, aiming at the return cannon that threw stones onto the city.
While the Huihui artillery threw huge rocks to attack the city, a large number of Jin soldiers and Northern barbarian soldiers also began to attack the city.
The combat effectiveness of these Jin soldiers is very close to the Jin people's original elite soldiers in historical slices. They all rush forward without fear of death, and with the blessing of the power of demons, they fight even more fiercely.
But the players are not in vain either.
Because they also have all kinds of killer weapons on the city walls!
There are several large pots at regular intervals on the top of the city. The bottom is heated red with pebbles and charcoal, and the water inside is already boiling.
After seeing the Jinmen and barbarian soldiers beginning to climb the city, the players guarding the city immediately opened the sealed wooden barrels next to them and poured the boiled water into the water while holding their breath.
In an instant, an indescribable stench filled the air.
"Pour it down quickly!"
These cauldrons are specially made. They are fixed to the city wall through brackets, making it easy to pour. Moreover, after dumping, because of the connection of the brackets, the cauldron will not fall off the city wall, but can be repositioned and boil water again.
And those sealed wooden barrels are excrement prepared in advance.
This is the famous golden juice in ancient times.
The so-called golden juice is actually fecal water, and some poisons are added to further increase the toxicity, such as arsenic and the like.
These are not thrown into the pot immediately, but the water is boiled first, then added, and then poured out immediately.
Otherwise, the defenders on the city might not be able to withstand the horrible smell of boiling shit in the cauldron.
When the boiling water is mixed with feces, it takes on a color similar to golden yellow. The Jin soldiers were still climbing up the ladder to reach the city. They were caught off guard and were showered with golden juice!
Even though these golden soldiers had been strengthened by the power of demons, they were still screaming and rolling down. They could only roll on the ground and could never re-enter the city.
You know, this is a golden soldier strengthened by the power of demons. Normally, after being hit by a sword a few times, he continues to fight as if nothing happened.
But now, they have instantly lost their combat effectiveness, which shows the terrifying lethality of golden juice!
This thing is not only high temperature, with magical damage, but also poisonous, with toxic damage.
Even if a soldier wears armor, there is no point at all, because the high temperature of the gold juice will instantly penetrate the armor and severely burn the soldier, and then the bacteria and poisons in the gold juice will penetrate into the body through the burn wound, causing the wound to become seriously infected. There is no chance of any treatment.
What's more, it also has a very scary taste and visual effects.
Under the attack of the four dimensions of force, magic, poison, and spirit, as long as one pot is poured down, the golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers on a ladder who are trying to climb the city can be penetrated to the end in an instant!
At the same time, the various fortifications placed on the city wall also opened fire at the same time.
Trebuchets, bed crossbows, divine arm bows, various artillery pieces with relatively short ranges...anything that can hit the monsters below will be fully fired.
Compared with Linyuan City, the situation of the other two acropolis is not optimistic.
Because these two acropolis were built later, they are far less impregnable than Linyuan City.
The terrain is slightly worse, the height and thickness of the city wall are also inferior, and the various defensive facilities on the city wall are also worse.
There are even golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers climbing up the city wall like ants.
However, the players responsible for defending the city were not ambiguous at all. They fought directly with these barbarian soldiers on the city wall and killed all the golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers who boarded the city.
"Hold on, support is coming!"
At this time, the demon's troops were in an absolutely dominant position, and under the tide-like offensive, the passages between the three cities had been cut off.
But players can still receive a steady stream of support from Linyuan City.
Because players still have access to the sky!
Since the three cities are all at high altitudes, and Linyuan City has the highest terrain, the players directly took the ropeway from Linyuan City to connect the two Linyuan cities and the two acropolises.
This method is a bit like the Luding Bridge plan. In fact, long ago, ancient working people were able to build bridges at both ends of the fast river through iron cables.
The way it was built may seem simple, but it's actually quite ingenious.
First, thick bamboo ropes are tied to both sides, and then many short bamboo tubes are threaded on them, and then iron chains and ropes are tied to the bamboo tubes. In this way, the rope is first transported to the other side, and then dozens of people use a winch to pull the rope on the other side. The bamboo tube and the iron chain can be dragged to the other side.
Since the height of Linyuan City is higher than the other two acropolis, it will be easier to pull the iron chain from Linyuan City to the acropolis by using the gravity of the iron chain itself.
After pulling several iron chains in succession, the winch can be used to straighten the iron chains. After being fixed, wooden boards can be laid to turn it into a bridge for traffic.
Players can naturally use these two bridges to transport troops and supplies, or simply attack the enemy from a high position on the bridge.
The situation in one of the acropolis was already a bit critical, but the players, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, quickly rescued the siege.
The God Machine player directly took out the Crouching Tiger Cannon from the God Machine Box, set it up on the top of the city, and then fired it at the golden soldiers who were surging onto the city!
A large amount of lead bullets sprayed out like a torrential rain, and a large piece of the golden soldiers fell instantly.
As for those golden soldiers or barbarians who were lucky enough to cross the city wall and enter the acropolis, there are still many assassin players hiding in the streets and alleys waiting for them.
…
Meng Yuan and Canshang overlooked this tragic battle from a high-altitude perspective.
So far, the players have fought very bravely, but after all, there is still a huge gap in numbers, so the situation still looks very critical.
"If we just defend passively like this, I'm afraid the chance of winning will not be very high." The businessman was a little worried.
Although the defense system of Linyuan City is very stable, there are too many demons this time, and there are also powerful siege weapons such as returning artillery.
Although it cannot be said that the players will definitely lose if the consumption continues, it is obviously not a wise move to simply compete for consumption.
Meng Yuan was confident: "It doesn't matter, the players will change their tactics according to the actual situation.
"Look, isn't there a surprise army here?"
The consultant looked in the direction pointed by Meng Yuan and saw a team of several thousand players leaving Linyuan City through various secret passages and gathering in the forest to the east of Linyuan City.
Since the mountainous terrain to the east of Linyuan City is relatively complex, the demon did not choose this as its main attack direction.
The players took advantage of this and began to take a detour from the east.
Among these thousands of players, there are cavalry players and divine machine players.
After they emerged from the mountain, the cavalry players immediately summoned their horses, while the divine machine players sat on them directly, carrying the divine machine box on their backs.
The two of them rode on the same horse and headed towards the demon's flank!
Since the frontal defensive pressure is also very high, players cannot deploy too many people as surprise troops to attack.
These few thousand people are already the limit that can be mobilized.
But it is precisely for this reason that the demon obviously did not expect that the players would dare to take the initiative.
If it were in real history, it would obviously not be feasible for two people to ride on the same horse.
Because horsepower is limited, doubling the load will cause the horse's horsepower to be depleted very quickly.
Therefore, the elite cavalry in ancient times were all single men with two or three horses. There was no reason for two people to ride on one horse.
But things are different for players.
The horses of the cavalry are all tall and powerful, and they share the same status with the cavalry. Therefore, their explosive power, endurance, and endurance exceed those of real horses in historical slices.
In this way, it becomes possible for cavalry players to carry out strategic maneuvers with divine machine players.
"Okay, that's it!"
Cui Huowang shouted, and the cavalry immediately stopped. The Shenji players quickly dismounted and started doing their own business.
They each opened the magic machine box, arranged the artillery and various field fortifications, and at the same time took out the muskets and loaded them for self-protection.
The cavalry players rushed directly to the side and rear of the demon and broke up the formation!
These monsters obviously didn't expect that a strange force would suddenly detour to their side and rear. They were caught off guard and a huge gap was opened by this cavalry force.
But soon, these golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers controlled by demons reacted.
"Kill them!"
A group of cavalry were immediately separated from the demons to fight back.
However, the players were not eager to fight at all. Instead, they quickly retreated and led the demon's cavalry towards the positions of the Shenji players.
