Soon, the players had already formed their troops and were patiently waiting for the demon's attack.
However, what they didn't expect was that the demon's power was still gathering!
In the sky, countless black clouds rolled, and a large amount of demonic energy gathered.
And among the black energy, three different figures vaguely appeared.
"I have long said that this Orderer is completely different from the previous Orderers and is difficult to deal with! He seems to have mastered some kind of method of controlling people. The aboriginal phantoms in the slices stand under his command and are extremely powerful. , difficult to deal with!
"Xingtian doesn't listen to me, and you've all seen the consequences!"
The black mist who said this has a peacock-like head with towering horns and a deer's tail and a snake body. He is none other than the players' old friend Fei Lian, who has extensive experience in being beaten and escaping.
Last time, he and Xing Tian fought against the players in the dungeon of Qi Dynasty. The final result was that Xing Tian's clone was destroyed, and more than 70% of the demonic energy disappeared and was transformed into the power of the Orderer.
Since then, Xingtian has been in a state of decline and is no longer trusted by the Demon Lord.
The quarrel between the two in front of the demon king Chi You also made Chi You furious.
But in the end, Chi You still asked Fei Lian to come to the historical slice of Liang Dynasty to support him. After all, for the demons, they were retreating steadily and losing every battle, which had brought the situation they had worked so hard to win to the verge of collapse.
We have to find some ground.
Among these three black shadows, one figure is obviously larger. This is obviously the big demon guarding the historical slice of the Liang Dynasty. Here, it has a clone with a strength of 70% to 80%, and the power it can mobilize is all. The most numerous among the great demons.
It can be seen from the outline of the black shadow that it has the head of a human and the body of a snake, with its hair fluttering in the wind.
"It's just a sequencer, there's nothing to be afraid of!
"Fei Lian, you and Xing Tian couldn't solve it, you're really stupid!
"If you let me come, I can just find the approximate location of the orderer and bump into it!"
The other slightly smaller shadow also nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
In terms of body shape, although it is small, this is not its historical slice after all, so it does not project all of its power, probably only about 30% at best.
Being able to maintain its current size with 30% of its strength is enough to show that its true body is a huge giant.
Feilian said angrily: "Gonggong! Kuafu!
"I warned you when the Dasheng Dynasty was captured, but you all, like Xing Tian, didn't care!
"You three monsters combined can't even come up with a single idea!
“Now Xingtian is basically disabled, and I have also suffered heavy losses.
"Do you have to wait until this Orderer hits the Demon Lord to understand that he is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will?"
Gonggong and Kuafu still seemed to disagree, but after thinking that Fei Lian had indeed come under the orders of the Demon Lord, and that Kuafu had specially mobilized some forces from the Chu Dynasty to help this time, they finally stopped arguing.
He turned his attention to the orderers who were arranging their troops.
Goguryeo's 150,000 reinforcements are rushing to Anshi City, while the Liang army controlled by the orderers on the opposite side has already lined up their troops in the open space outside Anshi City, assuming a posture of fighting to the death.
In terms of numbers, this is fifty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand.
The Returners completely replaced the previous Liang Jun, so Liang Jun's military strength actually increased significantly. As for the Goguryeo army, the demons directly possessed them, so the strength on paper remained unchanged, still 150,000.
But the number of demonic soldiers cannot be estimated purely by numbers. After all, these big demons still have demonic energy hidden in them, which can also be used in combat.
If necessary, they can still use demonic energy to transform into demonic soldiers as reinforcements, or simply extract and concentrate all the demonic energy.
"Then Fei Lian, how do you want to fight!" Kuafu was obviously too lazy to use his brain.
Before Fei Lian could say anything, Gonggong had already taken the lead and said, "Hmph, how else can we fight! It's just the same as before, find the position of the orderer, and then directly concentrate on killing him!
"You two go up and pester him. If I hit him, everything will be over!
"After killing those who have returned to order, we will slowly send out demon soldiers to snatch back the Qi Dynasty and Sheng Dynasty that were previously lost."
Fei Lian was a little speechless: "You didn't listen to a word of what I said before! I told you a long time ago that this orderer is deeply hidden and cannot be caught!"
Gonggong was dissatisfied: "What can't be caught? Isn't it difficult to find someone who can restore order?"
"The previous ones who have been ordered are all extremely talented people. They must have superb combat skills and be at the forefront. As long as we find such a person, can't we lock the identity of the person who is ordered?"
Fei Lian: "..."
Gonggong continued: "Well, considering that this orderer is better at discovering the strength of the aborigines, he must be someone who can strategize and win thousands of miles away.
"As long as the commander is found behind Liang Jun, the identity of the orderer can naturally be locked."
Fei Lian said angrily: "You can think of a way that Xingtian and I can't think of?"
Gonggong was silent for a moment: "Oh, it's hard to say!"
Fei Lian was so angry that his black energy was constantly surging: "Xingtian and I have already tried it! The one who returned to order is extremely hidden, and has no desire to express himself at all.
"We have looked for people who are skilled in combat and are at the forefront, and we have also looked for people who can strategize and win thousands of miles away, but we have all come to nothing!"
Gonggong looked at it: "Oh, that's your and Xingtian's problem!
"Xing Tian doesn't even have a brain. As for you, you have been frightened by the Orderer for a long time, and you have long lost the ability to make rational judgments.
"If you let me come, I may not be able to find out the Orderer hiding in the dark!"
Feilian almost passed out with anger, but fortunately Kuafu came out quickly to smooth things over.
"Okay! Since we are all entrusted by the Demon Lord, we must complete our mission and destroy the Orderer here!
“You two stop arguing and work together!
"Fei Lian, what do you think we should do?"
Fei Lian sighed silently, feeling high blood pressure from working with these three monsters every day.
Although the four great demons under the Demon King have strong magic powers, they each have their own character weaknesses, and they all dislike each other.
Fei Lian, cunning and alert, is good at saving lives, but he wants to break up and sell out when he encounters the slightest danger, and never stays to help his teammates.
Xing Tian has extraordinary brute strength and will fight to the death in desperate situations, but he has no brains.
Gonggong has extremely strong explosive power and the most impressive single-target damage, but his head is strong. Even if it knows that a method will not work, it must be tried. Others don't look back until they hit the wall, but they don't look back after hitting the wall. They have to break through the wall and their own heads.
Kuafu has amazing endurance and is good at long-term battles. He has not shown any obvious shortcomings so far. But Fei Lian also knew that Kuafu's biggest problem was that he was too focused on his head and body, and it was easy to attract attention.
There is no way, this may be a side effect of the demon stealing the ancient characters.
They gained great combat power from the ancient beings, but also inherited negative effects.
After a moment of silence, Fei Lian said: "The key to this battle is to stay calm!
"The Orderer is extremely hidden, so we must not attack rashly or concentrate the power of demons rashly. Otherwise, the Orderer will have the upper hand.
"We will fight against the Ordered Ones with demon soldiers. No matter who appears like the Ordered Ones, we must stay calm and never make a move!
"Our power is already stronger than that of the Ordered Ones. As long as we slowly consume the power of the Ordered Ones, when the welcome of these aboriginal people is exhausted and there is only one person left, there is no doubt that that is the Ordered Ones!"
Gonggong had a look of disgust on his face: "That's it?
"Not to mention how likely your plan is to succeed. Even if it succeeds, the losses will be so heavy. Demon Lord, are you embarrassed to report the good news?"
Fei Lian was completely angry: "Then what do you want!"
Gonggong looked at the army of players arrayed below: "I want to try to see if I can find out the orderer."
Fei Lian had a dark face, oh no, it is just a lump of black smoke and it is already black: "Try it, when will you listen to a word of advice and stop being so stubborn!"
Kuafu said: "In my opinion, I should listen to Feilian. He is more experienced after all."
Gonggong snorted coldly: "Is it the experience of being beaten by the orderers, or the experience of escaping for one's life?"
Fei Lian was so angry that black smoke exploded: "I will fight with you..."
Kuafu hurriedly stopped between the two of them: "Okay! Hurry up and send out demon soldiers to attack the Ordered Ones!"
…
At this time, on the small slope, Li Hongyun had already asked the magic machine players to set up large-scale killing props such as artillery and trebuchets, and patiently waited for the attack of the magic soldiers.
Around the divine machine players, the ordinary players and cavalry players are also ready.
On both wings of the array are cavalry players, most of whom are soldiers and rangers. Among them, soldier players are more powerful and are mainly responsible for frontal charges of heavy cavalry and defeating enemy formations, while ranger players are more flexible and are mainly used for light cavalry raids.
On the front of the battle line are the heavy infantry who are mainly responsible for carrying the line, some of which are also responsible for soldiers or rangers with cavalry status.
They are equivalent to dismounted infantry at this time, but depending on the outcome of the battle, they can choose to mount their horses and pursue them at any time.
In addition, there are also ordinary players mixed in among them.
There is no doubt about the ability of the common players to fight on foot, but since the common man trial has just started, the number of people is not large, and it is difficult for only about 10,000 people to form an army alone.
Moreover, although ordinary players have high attacks, fast speed, and flexible bodies, they are as brittle as paper and will die suddenly after two hits. Therefore, it is not advisable to stand too close to each other, but it is best to blend into the infantry array.
Every once in a while, there is a common player who acts as a needle to stabilize the sea.
There are also a small number of assassin players and scribe players mixed in among them.
In fact, there are still many assassins, scribes or divine machine players responsible for the siege of Anshi City. In the siege, assassin players can play a big role.
As long as they find a way to sneak into Anshi City, they can stay there and continue to cause damage to the enemies in Anshi City.
But there are also some assassin players who come to the military formation. Most of them are players who are good at fishing in troubled waters in the military formation. They kill key enemy figures under the cover of soldiers and ordinary players.
The same goes for the scribe players. They are dispersed in the array to add buffs to the players, and they can also take care of the command task.
After all, scribe players are somewhat similar to the auxiliary position in moba games. Since they require fewer operations, it is easier to see the current situation clearly.
As for the Shenji players led by Li Hongyun, they first used artillery to attack the enemy in front or in the gaps in the array. When the enemy came close, they immediately retreated and hid behind the infantry to shoot with muskets.
Although there is an open space here, there is a small slope in the position occupied by the players, which can barely be regarded as using high to defeat low.
Don't underestimate this small slope, it brings considerable advantages to divine machine players and cavalry players.
As expected, the demon rushed over regardless!
In fact, it cannot be said that the demon has a low IQ, because in real history, the Goguryeo army also charged in this way.
Because in the eyes of the other party, although there is a small slope here, it is not dangerous terrain, and their strength is at least three to five times. If they don't rush over and fight, is it possible to camp on the spot for a confrontation?
"boom!"
The players' cannons ignited one after another, and huge shells flew out of the air and smashed into the demon array.
The quality of Goguryeo's army is not low, especially the armor rate is very high.
Back then, Liang Jun captured the city of Goguryeo and found tens of thousands of Mingguang armors directly from the city. It can be seen that the national power of Goguryeo at that time was actually quite strong.
It's a pity that they encountered the bug-like Liang Chao.
After the demon possessed Goguryeo's army, it largely made up for their rookie combat effectiveness.
The next battle is similar to the previous battle, and there is no essential difference yet.
The first round of the attack by the Goguryeo army suffered heavy losses from the artillery and muskets of the Shenji players, but the demon did not care about this and still drove the demon soldiers to move forward.
Soon, the Shenji players put away their artillery and retreated, then took out their muskets and prepared to start shooting in turns.
The infantry players stepped forward one after another to engage the magic soldiers.
The blades were exchanged, and the two sides fought fiercely.
After the first round of impact, the players quickly stabilized the battle line, but it was impossible to move forward.
Because the combat effectiveness of the demon soldiers is far stronger than that of the original Goguryeo soldiers, and they are not afraid of death or pain. Although they quickly fell under the fire of the players' cold weapons and muskets, the subsequent demon soldiers will not flee. , but it keeps coming up.
Players soon suffered casualties.
Although it is possible to return to the Fortress of the Orderer to resurrect, the battlefield this time is too wide, and it will be difficult to rush back to the battlefield and rejoin the array in a short period of time.
Just when the battle between the two sides was getting intense, they saw flags waving and war drums beating high on Beishan.
Following the King of Qin's order, the 20,000 elite cavalry previously ambushed in the valley under the leadership of Zhao Haiping rushed out like a whirlwind and attacked the demon's rear army!
Caught off guard, many demon soldiers were crushed directly under the horses' hooves by a round of charge.
But these magic soldiers reacted quickly, and directly changed from the rear team to the front team, dividing themselves into two sides to resist the players' offensive.
High on the Beishan Mountain, King Qin could not help but frown as he watched the battle below.
"Is there such a thing?"
Obviously, what happened in front of him was beyond his understanding.
According to common sense, in the era of cold weapons, if one party is attacked from the front and back, morale will plummet in an instant.
Some rabble will fall apart in an instant, unable to maintain their formation, and will break up and flee.
Even an elite division will be at a huge disadvantage and can only barely survive.
A more extreme example is the rebels in the Battle of Xiangji Temple. Although they were surrounded by the army, they still fought bloody battles and did not collapse until they suffered more than 70% casualties.
But this is rare.
After all, the rear army is often weak in troops or logistics. If it is attacked by local elite soldiers, it will cause chaos in an instant. It is basically impossible to rely on manpower to restore organization.
But after being possessed by a demon, the organization level is directly maxed out, so it can no longer be considered in fighting with ordinary cold weapons.
However, there was no fearful look on King Qin's face, but his eyes shone brightly.
"Charge with me! Cut off the enemy's army!"
According to the historical situation, King Qin had no chance to take action at all.
Because Liang Jun, who had less than 30,000 men, directly blocked the Goguryeo army with a two-sided encirclement, forcing the 150,000 troops to have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. In the end, they could only attack the mountains on this side and Fight and retreat.
Liang Jun took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded the mountain.
After such a stalemate for a long time, Goguryeo's army asked to surrender, and Liang Taizong sent most of them back. From then on, the Goguryeo army lost all fighting spirit and no longer dared to fight against Liang Jun.
The mobile troops arranged by Liang Taizong before were basically useless.
But now, since the two sides have reached a stalemate, the mobile force led by King Qin has a chance to take action!
In fact, King Qin could no longer hold himself back.
Historically, when he personally conquered Goguryeo, he was already in his twilight years, and his physical fitness had long lost its former courage. Therefore, even if he was determined to go into battle to kill the enemy, he was ultimately unable to do so.
What's more, the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles cannot move lightly, so he can only sit and command.
But now, his physical fitness has returned to its peak state, and he has even received the blessing of great righteousness because he appeared in the historical slice as a heroic spirit. In addition, he now does not have the heavy burden of being the king of a country...
If you don't rush at this time, will you still be the King of Qin?
As soon as he said this, the five thousand elite cavalry players following him were also excited.
"rush!"
Players still remember how excited they were when they charged with Sheng Taizu, and now, apparently, charging with King Qin is just as exciting!
These two people are both famous emperors throughout the ages, and they are also considered the most capable of fighting among the emperors.
Although Liang Taizong did not have the name of the founding emperor, he was actually the founding emperor. Not to mention Sheng Taizu, he was the undisputed most righteous founding emperor to win the country.
If there is any difference between the two styles, it is that Liang Taizong has the standard template of a cool male protagonist.
When Sheng Taizu went into battle, he was still within the human realm, while Liang Taizong directly transcended the human realm and wanted to ascend to the immortal world.
How can one not get excited by fighting with such a god?
As King Qin rode out, the five thousand cavalry players immediately mobilized their horses and rushed down the hillside like a whirlwind, rushing towards the battlefield!
