Chapter 196: Stronghold Attack and Defense

"Alright everyone, it's time to start today's activities, everyone get ready - let's go!"

Following Qianlong Wuyong's order, a team of more than 40 people immediately rushed out of the city.

Although these more than 40 people are from the same guild, there are obvious divisions within it.

The largest group among them is naturally the core members led by Qianlong Wuyong, especially the vanguard composed of ten generals players, who are truly iron cavalry.

There are also some peripheral members surrounding him.

Deidara has a small group of five people, all of whom are above level 20.

And Xianyu, brought with him a dozen guys of varying levels.

Even Xiao Jie himself now has his own small group, the Dongfang Sheng trio, the Guimianhu trio, and Ye Luo.

It has to be said that it makes sense for the Soaring Dragon Knights to give mounts first when they join. At this moment, more than fifty knights (with more than a dozen generals as guards) were galloping together in the wilderness, with an astonishing momentum.

The iron hooves trampled through the grass and forests like an unstoppable torrent, and the wild beasts encountered along the way were frightened and fled in all directions, fearing that they would block the way.

There were those short-sighted grizzly bears and tigers who tried to stop them, but they were killed instantly by the generals in the front row who charged with their guns.

Even if you are lucky enough to dodge the first round of attacks, the players that follow will be able to chop you into pieces with one sword each.

The large group of cavalry was simply invincible in the wild. Whether they were dealing with lone beasts or groups of bandits along the way, it all became everyone's experience, giving people a feeling of "a thousand cavalrymen rolling across the plain".

"Haha, that's so cool." Dongfang Sheng shouted excitedly.

Xiao Jie smiled speechlessly. This feeling of collective speeding was really great.

After crossing the desolate fields, driving away the crows and wild beasts that roamed there, the outline of a village appeared ahead.

"We're here! Stop!" Qianlongwu gave an order and more than fifty riders stopped one after another.

It is not difficult to see the difference between the players from this pause. Those who stopped at the same time were the dozen or so core members. In comparison, the peripheral members were a bit sparse, but they could also be said to be disciplined.

In front of me is a village transformed into a bandit stronghold. The original simple wall has been filled with a wall made of logs. The gate made of logs is tightly closed. There are also four arrow towers around it with bows and arrows to guard the bandits.

And around the village, there are many bandits and monsters wandering around.

These mountain bandit monsters are also the most suitable for players to kill and level up. As long as you don’t attract too many at a time, it is not difficult to deal with them.

The only trouble is that if the bandits are injured or dying, they will run away to call their companions, and if you are not careful you may attract a large group.

After all, it is a game. No matter how realistic it is, there will inevitably be some compromises to the gameplay. For example, even though the player is clearly in sight, because he has not entered the monster's alert range, those wandering bandits and monsters seem to be completely unaware of the player's presence.

Qianlong Wuyong said sternly, "Listen carefully, everyone. Whether you are a core member or a peripheral member, you can be free and undisciplined at ordinary times, but once you enter a battle, you must strictly obey orders. Otherwise, if casualties are caused by someone's carelessness, the person who made the mistake must bear the responsibility. Do you understand?"

"Understood, President!"

"Don't worry, President."

"Give the order, Brother Long."

Everyone is very clear about the seriousness of this matter. After all, if it goes wrong, people can really die, so we can't be careless.

"Very good, then follow my orders.

First, let's clear out the monsters outside.

Then they were divided into groups to carry out different tasks.

We will be divided into four groups for this battle.

The ranged group, led by Xiaobailong, first eliminated the bandit archers on the arrow tower, and then supported the melee group's battle.

Deidara, I won't divide you into groups. You just need to be responsible for using magic to blast open the door.

The cavalry group was led by me personally, and we rushed in the first wave after the gate was blasted open.

Melee group, Xianyu, you are responsible for leading the charge. After we finish charging, you then charge forward. You must fully utilize the advantage of the spearhead and open a gap at the front.

The support team is led by Yin Yue Sui Feng, who will bring people to fill in if any group encounters problems.

Once the gate is opened, the melee group must follow Xianyu and rush in, expand the front as much as possible, form a numerical advantage locally, and use the majority to defeat the minority. Everyone should act in groups as much as possible, do not be alone, and do not show off. Remember, we are here to level up, not to fight to the death.

The ranged group will enter after the melee group. If they encounter elite monsters or BOSS monsters, the melee group should not take risks but lead them to the ranged group. The ranged group will be responsible for focusing fire to resolve the problem. If they still cannot resolve the problem, our cavalry group will take care of it.

Support team, your mission is to fill in the gaps and go wherever there is a need. Brother Suifeng, since this is your first time participating in the event, I will not give you any mandatory tasks.

Did everyone understand?"

Xiao Jie listened to Qianlong Wuyong's tactical arrangements and nodded secretly in his heart. Not bad, not bad. This plan was very detailed. He was really afraid that this branch was just a makeshift team and everyone would rush in, F2A.

Or it could be the tactic of "tank pulls well, healer heals well, and DPS pumps hard", which is better than F2A but not much different.

Now that the arrangement is proper and the division of labor is clear, this is how we can really accomplish great things.

If even a small branch can do this, then we can naturally look forward to the strength of the association.

If we ever come into conflict with the Qinglong Society in the future, having an organization like this as a backer will really make us feel at ease.

Seeing that no one objected, Qianlong Wuyong said, "If there is no problem, then let's start the action. Let's start cleaning up the monsters now. New players with low levels should pay attention to saving their lives. High-level players should play the role of seniors. Let the cavalry team go, and the ranged team will be divided into two teams. Get rid of the arrow tower in front first."

Eighteen cavalrymen formed two rows and charged towards the wandering monsters, with lances raised, killing more than ten of them in the first encounter.

All beings are equal under the lance, and it is not just talk.

The melee group at the back began to frantically finish off the scattered bandits and monsters. The melee group had the largest number of people, and three or five of them rushed forward to besiege one monster. Soon the monsters on the periphery were cleared out. Noticing that the player army was approaching, the bandits on the arrow tower also shouted.

The ranged group was divided into two at this time, each locking onto an arrow tower, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A dense rain of arrows instantly focused their fire, with more than a dozen archers firing at the same time, and the support team led by Xiao Jie also provided some long-range support. After two rounds, all the bandits on the arrow tower were shot to death.

Then they started to shoot at the bandits on the wall, and soon overpowered them. Arrows from both sides flew back and forth, and it really felt like a war.

However, how to attack the gate is a big problem. The durability of the gate is as high as 500 points, and it is a city defense armor. Ordinary swords can't cause any damage at all. It needs an axe or a hammer to break the defense. If a melee player goes up to smash the door, it is easy to be killed from top to bottom by the bandits on the wall.

This is when we need to see how powerful the legal system is.

Deidara walked to a distance of about 50 meters from the gate. Xiao Jie immediately arranged several people to hold shields to block the arrows on both sides, leaving only a hole in the front for shooting.

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in Deidara's hand, and the red flame was filled with the breath of destruction.

The Art of the Five Elements——Flame Sphere!
A period of charging! The fireball gradually grew larger, and was as big as a basketball.

Second stage of charging! The fireball becomes as big as a washbasin.
Three levels of power! The fireball became more than one meter in diameter, like a small sun, suspended in Deidara's hand.

"Go! Flame Sphere!" Deidara shouted in a very childish voice, and then saw the huge fireball slowly flying towards the gate.

Oh my god, this spell is so slow?
Xiao Jie was a little stunned. He thought the fireball would be blasted out like a cannonball, but unexpectedly it floated into the air like a balloon.

The trajectory of this projectile is a bit weird. If it is a battle between players, it seems easy to dodge.

Fortunately, the fireball did not deviate from the direction. Xiao Jie watched the fireball crash into the village gate, and then there was a loud bang.
-
435!

With just one strike, half of the durability of the village gate was destroyed, and the wooden gate was even set on fire, causing the remaining durability to drop rapidly.

A few seconds later, it was completely burned to ashes with a loud crash, revealing a group of bandits behind the gate.

"Cavalry—charge!"

The eighteen cavalrymen were already on full alert, and they immediately charged, with a row of lances raised. Boom! They crashed directly into the crowd of bandits, scattering their formation in one blow, and the red critical hit numbers filled the entire screen.

The bandits who were killed in seconds lay on the ground.

"Retreat, retreat, don't fight!" Qianlong Wuyong shouted and turned his horse to leave. The lethality of the dragoons depends on the charge. It would be very dangerous if they got into a melee and fought those bandits at close range.

As soon as the cavalry here withdrew, Xianyu yelled - Kill!

He led the melee group and rushed in.

At this time, there were still archer bandits on the walls on both sides heading down to the room, but Xianyu's health was as high as 850, so he completely ignored the sporadic attacks and used a big move directly at the place where the crowd was most densely packed.

Secret——Sweeping away everything in its path!
He swept through the crowd like a whirlwind, knocking down five or six people in an instant.

By the way, five layers of murderous intent were stacked up.

Killing Intent: The core skill of the swordsman. Every time you kill an enemy, you will gain a 5% damage bonus, which can be stacked up to ten times.

The fifth level of murderous intent instantly transformed Xianyu into a killing machine, opening the gap in an instant.

Xiao Jie was jealous. He thought that if you have a lot of blood, you can be extravagant.

Although he could open a gap, with only 300 HP, it would be easy to be in danger if he was targeted by archers.

Xiao Jie could still understand being assigned the task of being the leader of the support team.

At least if it were him, he wouldn't dare to rush into the crowd so recklessly.

At this time, players in the melee group rushed in and quickly expanded the front line.

Actually, there isn't that much difference between bandits and players of the same level. They can also use combat skills and can be very threatening in normal situations.

However, at this time, with experts leading the team and tactical crushing, the battle situation became completely one-sided.

As the first wave of bandits was defeated, the ones that came later were obviously unable to form an effective formation.

At this time Dongfang Sheng and Guimianhu also rushed up. Both of them were in the melee group. One was holding a spear and the other was holding a halberd. They kept a distance and stabbed wildly.

Combat skill - spear thrust!
The strange-faced fox made a desperate dash and knocked a low-health bandit to the ground, but was immediately slashed by another bandit and forced to retreat.

Dongfang Sheng is much more domineering.

Fighting skills-overlord swing style!

The ghost general suddenly picked up a bandit with the iron halberd in his hand, spun it around and threw it out with force, knocking two bandits to the ground.

The strange-faced fox was jealous. He had no idea how the man had learned such a powerful fighting skill. In his poor village, he could only learn how to thrust with a spear.

However, the two were soon left behind by other players. There were no other professions in the player group, only melee fighters.

All kinds of swordsmen, swordsmen, axe soldiers, monks, warriors, generals, and qigong masters, all of them were attacked with swords, knives, fists, and feet.

When they were injured, they ran to the back and drank some blood from the bottle, and then rushed forward again. Those bandits had never seen such a scene before, it was like chopping vegetables and melons.

The only trouble came from the bandit archers on the village wall, who were shooting arrows crazily from their high position, posing a great threat to the melee group rushing into the main gate.

Xiao Jie's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the perfect time for him to take action?

"Support team, follow me up the wall!"

Flying clouds chasing the moon!

Xiao Jie leaped into the air, somersaulted and landed on the wall of the village. The bandits and archers were frightened and quickly turned around, but it was too late.

Secret——Sweeping away everything in its path!
Xiao Jie's figure was like a whirlwind, spinning and harvesting among the bandits and archers. These bandits and archers didn't have much blood to begin with, and were taken away directly by Xiao Jie's ultimate move.

Pulling onions out of a dry land! Ye Luo also jumped onto the village wall, looking at the corpses all over the ground and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, you didn't even leave one for me."

"Haha, stop sighing, there are still plenty in the village."
