A large number of demon cavalry chased the players' cavalry in hot pursuit.
Obviously Xing Tian and Fei Lian also know very well that these cavalry are also the elite among players, and they are a rare key mobile force for players.
If all these cavalry can be captured in one fell swoop, the battlefield will develop in a direction that is very favorable to the demons!
Even the headless Xing Tian felt a little confused at this time.
Why did these aborigines dare to rush out?
In the eyes of these monsters, this is obviously a very stupid behavior.
If the aboriginal people keep defending in the fortified city, then the demons will still have to put in a lot of effort even if they want to gnaw down the fortified city.
But they actually took the initiative to go out of the city and find monsters to fight in the wild?
Who gave this courage?
Although the riding skills of these aboriginal people are like cheating and their combat effectiveness is extremely high, the demon firmly believes that any skill is meaningless in the face of absolute numbers.
But when they chase each other one after another and gradually approach the players' butts, the players suddenly speed up!
Obviously, in the past, players just wanted to conserve horsepower, so they did not rush forward. At this time, I saw that the demon was chasing closely, so I accelerated forward.
Naturally, the demon did not dare to show weakness.
The Jin cavalry and the Northern Barbarian cavalry all accelerated, trying to defeat all the players' cavalry in one fell swoop.
However, what they didn't expect was that the players suddenly dispersed the array and divided into several groups of cavalry at the same time!
These cavalrymen squeezed in through every possible opportunity in the array of players in front.
What appeared in front of the demon cavalry was an expanded position and various dense muzzles.
When cavalry is fighting, it occupies a huge area.
After all, in ancient battles, the cavalry needed to know their own formations and the positions of generals at all levels, so they needed a lot of space to arrange their troops.
Because of the game packaging, players can intuitively determine the position of their squads, which can greatly reduce the space required for cavalry movement and war, allowing the impact to be more concentrated.
But even so, when such a huge cavalry gallops, there is still an overwhelming feeling.
But at this time, they were like a tide, filing in and passing through the gaps left by the divine machine players.
Then, in the open space behind the Shenji player, the team reorganized.
For the cavalry, the ability to regroup after each charge and movement is also extremely important.
In this regard, the players naturally defeated the ancient armies.
While the cavalry players were reorganizing their teams, the Tiger Crouching Cannons of each Shenji player were already firing in unison!
These portable artillery gave full play to their perfect advantages at the most appropriate range. In an instant, a large number of lead bullets were fired, directly sifting the demon cavalry at the front!
Although the demon cavalry has been strengthened by demonic energy, it is far from being able to resist the artillery.
In an instant, a large number of demons in the front row fell down, and the cavalry fell from their horses. All the men and horses died on the spot.
Each Tiger Crouching Cannon is composed of small lead bullets that are compacted layer by layer and then filled with large lead bullets. Therefore, in addition to the range of lethality like shotguns, there is also a heavy lead bullet that shoots out and streaks in the air. It made a perfect parabola and then rolled down, knocking over several cavalrymen like a candied haws of sugarcane before smashing into the ground.
This round of volleys directly dealt a blow to the demon cavalry, killing and injuring most of the elite forces charging the fastest.
However, black smoke continued to rise from the eyes of the demon behind, and it continued to accelerate past the corpses of its companions, charging towards the player's array!
If it were an ordinary cavalry unit, this round of mounted shooting might be enough to make them collapse.
But the monsters are not afraid of death, and even if the front row dies, it will not have any impact on them.
"fire!"
The players who had fired the cannon quickly retreated, while the players behind quickly moved forward, positioned the tiger crouching cannon prepared in advance, and continued to shoot at the monster!
Three rounds went on like this. The Shenji players originally lined up in three rows, but now everyone's Tiger Crouching Cannon has been fired.
With the talent of Shenji players, these Tiger Crouching Cannons have basically exerted great power, and both accuracy and lethality have been significantly improved.
But the Tiger Crouching Cannon can still only be fired once.
After all, the Shenji players still master ancient artillery skills.
Take the Crouching Tiger Cannon as an example. Its loading is very troublesome. It is necessary to lay down small lead bullets layer by layer and then compact them with spacer materials. The steps are cumbersome and cannot be made wrong.
Although the talents of Shenji players are enough to allow them to perfectly load the Crouching Tiger Cannon without exploding the chamber, each reloading still takes a long time.
On the ever-changing battlefield, there is basically no chance of reloading.
But it doesn't matter, players have already expected this.
They put the Crouching Tiger Cannon back into the divine machine box at an extremely fast speed, and then drew out their muskets one after another.
This is an elite magical force.
Therefore, each of them carried three muskets.
Players have discovered the wonderful effects of the God Box.
Not only is it a huge storage space big enough to hold a Tiger Crouching Cannon, but its inherent physical properties are quite peculiar.
In reality, the musket cannot be loaded too far in advance.
Because the gun may misfire, the projectile may fall, or the gunpowder may get wet. When you really need to shoot, misfiring is a high probability event.
However, due to the special nature of the internal space of the divine machine box, these problems will not occur.
So in theory, players can carry more than a dozen muskets without the Tiger Crouching Cannon, and each one is loaded in advance. Then in actual combat, they can fire more than a dozen shots.
However, high-precision flintlock guns are expensive to make, and players have a lot of daily expenses. Not every player can afford ten flintlock guns at once, just for the trembling on the battlefield.
Considering the huge role of the Crouching Tiger Cannon on the battlefield, few players would do this.
But even so, after putting in the Tiger Crouching Cannon, players can still bring three guns.
These three guns can at least allow players to fire three shots in a row before entering a three-shot reloading cycle.
The demon cavalry in the vanguard was already approaching quickly, and the players held their muskets levelly until the demons reached a sure-hit distance before they decisively pulled the triggers!
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
There were gunshots like exploding beans, and at the same time, billowing smoke and dust rose up!
The marksmanship of Shenji players has been blessed by talents, not to mention the distance between the two sides at this time, which can be said to be almost perfect.
The projectiles flew at extremely high speeds, piercing the armor of the war horses and the heavy armor of the cavalry.
One shot caused many demon cavalry to fall to the ground and completely lose their combat effectiveness!
If it is a bow and arrow, only a heavy crossbow like the Divine Arm Bow can cause effective damage to the cavalry. But the power of muskets is so unreasonable.
The black energy in the demon's eyes became even stronger, and it was obvious that he was brewing with anger.
They firmly believed that this round of salvo had been completed, so they continued to move forward.
However, the gunfire not only did not stop, but started ringing more intensively!
After the players fired one shot, they picked up another gun and fired until all three guns were empty, and then began to leisurely reload in three shots.
In the eyes of the demon, this is nothing short of a fool's errand.
They originally found themselves about to chase down the player's cavalry, but in the blink of an eye they discovered that the player's cavalry had slipped into the position.
The position is the position, anyway, for the monster, there is no difference between killing cavalry players and killing other players.
However, there were actually a large number of squatting tiger cannons on this position, and three rounds of shelling directly caused heavy losses to the demon's forward.
The demon thought it would be over after these three rounds of bombardment, so he continued to rush forward, but he did not expect that the player would have three more rounds of gunfire.
After three rounds of shooting, players can actually enter the cycle of loading and shooting again!
These players are playing the game like cheating, my turn, my turn, my turn!
No matter how much demonic energy is possessed by the demon, he cannot be beaten like this.
Finally, the monster cavalry in the back row rushed to the front of the player array under the constant attack of the monsters in front.
At this time, the players in the front row had already taken out their sleeve bayonets and installed them on the front end of the barrel.
Then, they half-crouched on the ground in unison, poking the ends of their muskets into the ground, forming a spear formation!
Compared with the real spear formation, this kind of spear formation composed of muskets and sleeved bayonets is obviously a castrated version in all aspects.
Especially the length is much different.
But even so, muskets equipped with sleeved bayonets can still provide some protection against cavalry.
The players in the front row are all warriors or rangers with relatively good physical fitness. These are all people who failed to obtain the status of cavalry and then tried to obtain the status of divine machine.
And the spear array set up by them was enough to block a charge from the demon cavalry.
At the end of a strong crossbow, it cannot penetrate Lu's silk.
During the charge of the demon cavalry, the front row of cavalry was repeatedly harvested, first by the Crouching Tiger Cannon and then by the flintlock gun. A large number of corpses fell to the ground, which also slowed down the speed of the rear cavalry.
Moreover, the players are mainly targeting the heavy armored cavalry in the front row, so many of the people rushing towards the players at this time are already light cavalry with low defense.
With the impact and defensive power weakened, players forming a dense formation can effectively hinder the monsters by only using the sleeve bayonets in the front row.
The real killer move is the players who continue to reload from behind.
As long as the cavalry failed to break down the spear array composed of sleeved bayonets at the first time, gunshots from the back row would sound one after another, and all the demon cavalry in the front row would be harvested again.
When the demon rushed into the player's array, there was sudden chaos in the rear.
Many demon cavalry looked back with black energy in their eyes, only to find that the player's cavalry had drawn a large circle at some point, and once again detoured behind these cavalry, attacking from both sides with the divine machine players!
This is the cavalry tactics that Sheng Taizu once taught the players. When two cavalry are fighting against each other, the cavalry coming from the rear flank will have an absolute advantage, completely defeating the other side.
Just like a dog fight between fighter jets, once the tail is bitten, the next step is a one-sided beating.
The player's musket position in the front remained motionless, and the player's cavalry unit in the rear rushed forward. Under attack from both sides, the demon's cavalry also collapsed instantly, and they could only fight on their own!
Although the demons are not afraid of death, and their fighting will is far better than that of ordinary golden soldiers or barbarian soldiers, and large-scale rout will not occur. However, in cold weapon battles, once the formation is dispersed and the organization is destroyed, there will still be It will put oneself into irreparable predicament.
It is useless even if all the soldiers fight bravely, because two fists are no match for four hands.
Obviously, no demon can imagine that one's own cavalry is obviously in a numerical advantage, but it is lifted up and beaten by the player's cavalry and musketeers, without the ability to fight back!
Finally, after a bloody battle, the players almost ate most of the cavalry that the demon came to intercept.
There are a large number of monster corpses piled on the ground, most of which were killed by the bombardment of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and the rest were killed by the players' musketry or cavalry charges.
In fact, the lethality of cavalry players is still considerable, but in this kind of positional warfare, the power of firearms is indeed much stronger than the spears in their hands.
"continue!"
Although there are still sporadic barbarian soldiers resisting, the players are no longer interested in fighting.
This is not a real battlefield after all.
If it were a real battlefield, we would definitely kill them all. After all, every head counts as a military merit, and when the enemy's morale has completely collapsed, chasing and killing them is almost a waste of lives.
But fighting monsters is different.
Even though most of the demon's army has been lost, individuals are still stubbornly resisting. For players, although these individual monsters are not difficult to destroy, they are very labor-intensive.
To truly defeat the demon, one must quickly weaken the demon's power. There is no point in fighting these remnants.
The cavalry players once again galloped into the military formation, and then the magic machine players took their muskets and various equipment back into the magic machine cases, got on their horses again, and headed towards the demon army.
…
At the same time, the offensive and defensive battle in Linyuan City has also entered a fever pitch.
The golden soldiers and barbarian soldiers controlled by the demon were still pressing in like a tide, and after a series of fierce battles, the walls of the two acropolis were already filled with demon corpses.
But not only did this not cause any hindrance to the demon, but the corpses filled up the moat and even turned it into a high slope.
The subsequent demons directly stepped on the corpses of other demons and continued to climb the city!
This is a bit tricky for players.
After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too big. If the demon was determined to attack the city, it would be difficult for the two acropolis to be defended all the time.
The terrain of Linyuan City is so perfect that it is basically impossible for demons to pile corpses on top of it. But after all, the city defense of the two acropolis is much worse than that of Linyuan City, and they are already crumbling under the fierce attack of demons.
And more demons directly crossed the two acropolis and headed directly towards Linyuan City, densely packed and huddled.
Xing Tian and Fei Lian were hidden in the black mist in the sky, overlooking the battlefield situation.
"about there.
"Prepare to concentrate your strength and destroy the city!"
In the sky, Fei Lian flew past with a roar, and then continued to spread his demonic energy onto the battlefield.
And a group of the demon soldiers attacking the city on the front line fell instantly. Their bodies gradually withered, as if their strength had been drained.
Correspondingly, some of the demon soldiers quickly expanded in size and turned into little giants four to five meters tall!
"Roar!"
These giant demon soldiers roared, grabbed the demon soldiers on the ground and threw them towards the city wall. Then, he grabbed the edge of the city wall with both hands, inserting his fingers into the gaps in the city wall, and started climbing.
"Quick, cannon!"
The players hurriedly turned their guns to aim at these giant magic soldiers, but the defense of these magic soldiers was also significantly enhanced. Although the hasty cannon fire also caused damage to these magic soldiers, they still managed to climb to the top of the city.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the palm of the huge demonic soldier slapped the cannon directly, knocking the cannon away.
"what to do?"
The players were a little panicked.
In fact, they also encountered giant barbarian soldiers last time, but the situation at that time was not so tense after all, and it could be solved with heavy weapons such as artillery.
But now the demon soldiers and ants are gathering to attack the city, and the situation has gotten a little out of control in a hurry.
At this moment, a list instantly appeared in the players' vision.
This is a ranking list of all players’ enemy kill contributions from the beginning of the Orderer’s Expedition to the present!
Moreover, this list is divided into three different battlefields, Linyuan City, Acropolis, and Field Battle. The players ranked first in the rankings are selected and highlighted.
The moment the list appeared, Zhao Haiping, who was directing the battle at the top of the city, suddenly expanded and turned into a giant with a height of seven or eight meters!
After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Haiping quickly reacted and jumped directly from the city wall with the sword in his hand!
The heavy sword slashed down on the climbing demon soldier's head, directly cutting it into two pieces from head to tail!
Then, Zhao Haiping rushed into the army of demons and swept the long knife across. In an instant, it was like a sickle cutting leeks, hacking all the demons to death!
On the field battlefield, Fan Cun, who was charging, suddenly swelled up with his men and horses and became extremely huge. He even reached more than ten meters with his men and horses.
Just the galloping of the war horses had already trampled many demons on the ground to death.
Moreover, players discovered that this list is still changing.
After Zhao Haiping and others became bigger, their points in the rankings were already declining, and there was still a countdown.
In other words, after the countdown ends, they will change back.
The player who was originally ranked second on the ranking list will continue to grow in size and fight monsters.
The players instantly became excited.
We also have a share!
Originally, everyone thought that this kind of opportunity to show off in front of others only belonged to top players like Zhao Haiping. After all, concentrating the power on them can ensure a stronger combat power.
But the current arrangement gives players at the top of the rankings a chance to show their faces, and they are even more motivated!
The players were instantly like wolves after seeing meat, killing the monster with red eyes, desperately trying to improve their scores and rankings on the list!
