Chapter 389 Duel Mode
Watching the fire rising into the sky and enveloping the entire top of Black Wind Mountain in flames, the players exclaimed in amazement - it's so damn spectacular.

Especially when they find that they can gain experience, they become even happier.

However, on the other side of the mountain, the bandits in front of the Juyi Hall had a completely different feeling.

"Damn it! These returnees really deserve to die!" Li Gun looked at the burning village with a grim face.

Now all his plans have failed.

He had already planned it out. The only open space in the mountain stronghold, the martial arts field, was the most suitable for deploying troops. As long as these returnees broke into the martial arts field, he would give an order and ambushes would spring up everywhere. The minions lying in ambush in the stronghold would engage in a melee with the returnees to disrupt their formation. He would then lead the main force to charge in and, under siege from all sides, annihilate these returnees in one fell swoop.

Even if the returnees are aware of the existence of the ambush, they are not afraid, because they have a second plan. These bandits are scattered and hiding in the surrounding buildings. If they want to be eliminated, they can only be cleared out one by one. As long as those returnees dare to disperse and search for and kill the ambush in the mountain stronghold, his second plan can be launched.

Li Gun also ambushed 20 Black Wind Mountain assassins in the mountain stronghold, all of whom were in stealth mode. As long as he gave the order, these Black Wind Mountain assassins would set fire together and turn the mountain stronghold into a sea of ​​fire. When the returnees fell into chaos in the sea of ​​fire, he would lead the main force to kill them - and he could also annihilate these returnees in one fell swoop.

But I didn't expect that these returnees were so cunning that they actually lit the fire themselves.

Now all his plans have come to nothing.

"What should we do, brother?" asked the second brother Liu Qingyun in a deep voice.

"Let me think about it..."

"Otherwise, we should just defend the small camp. The mountain road is narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as my archers line up in a row and shoot arrows at them, the enemy will not be able to attack."

Li Gun shook his head. "It's useless. There are many Taoist masters among those who returned home. If we passively defend, we will only get beaten."

This is also the main reason why Li Gun did not choose to defend the village. He himself has practiced Taoism and knows very well that in the face of powerful spells, no matter how solid the defense facilities are, they are meaningless.

This is even more true for arrow formations, which can be broken by the enemy simply by casting spells from a distance.

If it were an ordinary enemy, even if they had thousands of troops, they would be able to resist with the dangerous terrain of Black Wind Mountain.

But in the face of powerful spells, passive defense will never have good results.

Although he also has some magic skills, according to the news brought back by deserters from various villages, there are many talented people among those who return home, and he may not be able to hold out with just the few people under his command.

Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance of winning.

However, they did not expect that the ambush plan would fail.

"What should we do then, brother?" Liu Qingyun was also panicked when he heard this.

Li Gun pondered and said, "The only solution now is to fight head-on. We have 600 elite soldiers, so we still have the advantage in manpower. As long as we operate properly, we may be able to win.

But we must not stay here. When the flames are extinguished, we must occupy the main peak of the mountain stronghold as quickly as possible. Relying on our superior force, we will engage the enemy head-on and overwhelm them in one go. If they occupy the main stronghold, no matter how many people we have, we will not be able to move, and that will be the end of us.”

Today, the main forces of Black Wind Mountain are concentrated in five small villages. As long as the other side blocks the five mountain roads and lets the spellcasters cast spells calmly, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to attack.

On the other hand, if they want to defend themselves in a dangerous position, the other side can calmly arrange their actions and let the spellcasters cast spells remotely to kill them gradually.

This is the power of the wizard. He possesses great destructive power and an extremely long attack range. For ancient wars, he is simply a high-dimensional crushing existence.

"Don't worry, big brother. My cavalry will lead the charge and we will definitely be able to retake the main stronghold." The third brother Zhao Huchen said confidently, "Let's burn the stronghold. Without those broken houses and rotten walls to get in the way, it will be a good opportunity for my cavalry to take advantage."

"That's great. The other brothers must also be prepared and follow closely. As long as the third brother's cavalry opens a gap, we will rush over and engage in a melee with them. With our superior military strength, we can overwhelm them in one fell swoop."

------

While the bandits are planning their strategies, the players are also arranging their tactics.

Xiao Jie looked at the fire in front of him and arranged in YY: "Although this fire killed a lot of enemies, there are still 500 to 600 monsters in Black Wind Mountain, which is twice as many as us. It will still be very troublesome if we really fight.

After the flames are extinguished, we must rush up the mountain as soon as possible and occupy the advantageous terrain. Brother Qianlong, you lead the team of generals as the vanguard, and you must block the five intersections of the mountain roads as soon as possible. As long as the enemy's large forces cannot rush out, we can make our arrangements calmly.

The others will follow, and as long as we block the five intersections, no matter how many troops the enemy has, it will be useless."

Qianlong Wuyong responded, "I understand. I will definitely complete the mission, but it's not enough to rely on just a few of me. All the generals, gather together!"

Soon, Qianlong Wuyong, Yulong Zai Tian, ​​Zilong Wushuang, Dongfang Sheng... all the generals stood at the front of the team, summoned their mounts and guards, waiting for the moment when the flames went out, and then rushed forward.

Xiao Jie arranged the melee group at the back. As long as the general group blocked the intersection, the melee group could immediately take over the defense line.

The remaining ordinary members followed behind...

--------

After burning for more than ten minutes, finally, under the gaze of both sides, the flame gradually went out.

If it happened in reality, such a fire would probably burn for a day or two. Even if it was burned out, the debris left behind would make it difficult to fight.

But this is a game after all. Once the durability of the building reaches zero, the fire will go out, and even the wreckage of the building will be left. Only the charred marks on the ground prove the existence of the building before.

Seeing that the fire no longer posed a threat.

"Kill!" Li Gun shouted, and Zhao Huchen led a hundred Black Wind Mountain assault cavalry and Black Mountain horse bandits and killed them along the mountain road.

"Kill!" Xiao Jie gave an order, and more than a dozen generals and more than thirty guards rushed towards the mountain together.

Passing through the thick smoke and some burning building debris, the two cavalry teams collided suddenly in the training ground.

Both parties were stunned when they saw each other, but neither of them showed any intention of stopping.

"Come on, listen to my command, charge with lances - kill!"

Zhao Huchen waved his iron spear, and dozens of Black Mountain raiding cavalry immediately formed a scattered horizontal formation. All of them put down their lances and charged forward.

The Black Mountain bandit behind drew his saber and prepared to make the final move.

"Everyone - start the formation!"

Qianlong Wuyong gave the same order, and five or six rays of light of formation appeared on the generals. More than a dozen general players and more than a dozen lance and cavalry guards also raised their spears and halberds and charged forward with their magic weapons.

The rest of the guards followed closely behind.

The two sides had almost the same formation and were rapidly approaching each other.

Boom! The two teams of cavalry collided with each other at once, and the sound of spears stabbing each other and blades piercing flesh came one after another. In just one encounter, more than a dozen people from both sides were stabbed down.

Almost all of them are killed instantly.

When cavalry and lances charge, because of the double speed damage bonus, the damage is frighteningly high, and life and death are just a matter of thought.

Most of the dozen or so people who were killed instantly were from the Black Wind Bandits.

The generals on the player's side are all powerful warriors of level 26 or even level 24, with heavy armor and excellent equipment. On the other hand, on the bandits' side, except for Zhao Huchen, a level BOSS, and four level elites around him, the rest are just level or monsters.

Naturally, they were no match for the opponent and suffered heavy losses in the first encounter.

The player only had a few guards who were knocked off their horses during the confrontation.

Then there was a cross-fight between the cavalry of both sides. The Black Wind Mountain bandits in the back row and the various guards under the player's command swung their swords and spears to slash and kill. This time the advantage of the bandits' strength was brought into play, often two or three against one on the player's side.

Fortunately, cavalry generally cannot inflict much damage in such close combat, and no matter how hard the horse bandits' sabers strike, it is difficult to kill an enemy in a short period of time.

On the other hand, the player, after charging with the lance, immediately began to use combat skills and ultimate skills, swinging his spear and halberd at the surrounding enemies.

Another dozen bandit cavalrymen were knocked off their horses.

By the time the two teams of cavalry had killed each other, only five or six guards on the player's side had died, while about one-third of the bandits' bodies were killed or wounded.

"Damn it! You dare to kill my brother? I will fight you to the death!" Zhao Huchen roared angrily and immediately turned his horse around.

The players over there also turned their horses around and attacked back.

The will to break through the enemy lines! A red flame instantly ignited on Zhao Huchen's body, and his momentum was astonishing.

A stab, -384! Knocked over a Lancer.

Another sweep, -223 (knockback)! Sweeping down a sword cavalry guard.

He killed several people in one breath with unparalleled momentum. All the players and generals were secretly surprised. They did not fight him head-on, but instead attacked the surrounding bandits and cavalry. It was much easier to deal with these monsters. Although Zhao Huchen's output was explosive, how could one person compare to the speed of a dozen players killing people? In the blink of an eye, more than half of the troops were killed or wounded.

He screamed in anger and shouted, "Zhao Huchen of Black Wind Mountain is here, who dares to fight me!"

A countdown dialog box pops up in front of all the generals and players at the same time.

[System prompt: The enemy general BOSS challenges you to a duel. Do you accept it? Yes/No. ]

There is a 10-second countdown at the end, 10...9...8...

The low-level players were confused, thinking, "A one-on-one duel with the BOSS? What a joke!" However, the high-level and experienced players were delighted.

This kind of duel between two armies can only be triggered by military generals, and the enemy must also be a military general.

Killing an enemy general in a duel can gain a large amount of reputation points, and there is also a 100% chance that an exclusive piece of equipment from the enemy general will be dropped (extra drop), and the item level of this exclusive drop is the highest level that the general can theoretically drop.

In other words, even if a BOSS has only a 1% chance of dropping orange equipment, as long as it can be killed in a duel with generals, it will 100% drop.

This level 26 BOSS Zhao Huchen may not have enough orange equipment, but at least he can drop some purple equipment, and the quality is definitely top-notch.

At once, several people were moved.

"The commander of the Howling Wind City cavalry, Yulong Zaitian, is here. Thief, I am here to meet you."

[System prompt: Player Yulongzaitian has accepted the challenge from BOSS Zhao Huchen. Other players are requested not to intervene at will. Any assistance will result in the end of the challenge.]

"Damn, this guy orders really fast!"

The rest of the people were helpless for the moment, but they could only watch. Once they made a move, the extra drop would be gone.

But just in case, while killing the surrounding bandits and cavalry, he was still observing the battlefield. In case his brothers were in danger, he had to take action even if it ruined the duel.

"Come on, take my shot!"

The two cavalrymen rushed towards each other, and the spear in Yulong Zaitian's hand suddenly shook out, creating a sky full of spear shadows.

Unparalleled fighting skill - raging fire spreading across the prairie!
But Zhao Huchen sneered and shot in the direction where the gun shadows were most concentrated.

Combat skill - Poison Dragon Break!

Tear—puff!
The tip of the spear pierced through Yulong Zaitian's spear and stabbed Yulong Zaitian's left rib.
-
148!

What! Yulong Zaitian was startled, and sprinted to distance himself, but the opponent turned around and stuck to him.

The spear kept stabbing at Yulong Zaitian.

Yulong Zaitian was trying to shake off the opponent while resisting. This cavalry battle was like an air battle. Once the opponent caught his back door, he would be in a passive situation and be beaten.

Zhao Huchen's horsemanship was excellent, man and horse became one, sticking firmly behind Yulongzaitian.

Ding ding—poof!

After several blocks, Yulong Zai Tian was shot again.

Damn, such high damage and such steady shooting skills.

Yulong Zai Tian already felt the pressure at this time. After all, the opponent was a BOSS template. No matter in terms of attributes or health, he was not comparable to ordinary players.

His marksmanship is superb.

"I'm here to help you!" Zilong Wushuang roared and rushed over from the side.

Unparalleled fighting skill - Crazy python out of the cave! The spear in his hand shook suddenly, and stabbed out like a whirlwind.

The spear in Zhao Huchen's hand seemed to come alive. With a slight shake, it knocked away Zilong Wushuang's spear tip and swept across.

Combat skill——Sweeping the enemy!
Zilong Wushuang hurriedly raised his gun to block.

But then there was a loud clang, and the huge force caused the warhorse under his crotch to stagger and become stiff.

"Die!"

"I'll help you!" Ding! A dragon gallbladder silver spear blocked the attack, but it was Qianlong Wuyong who came to kill.

Since a one-on-one fight doesn’t work, let’s just gang up on him.

Zilong Wushuang and Yulong Zaitian also took the opportunity to regain their balance, turned their horses around, and attacked again.

"Damn, my duel reward, what the hell are you doing?" Yulong Zaitian lamented while attacking.

Zilong Wushuang said disdainfully, "Fuck you, if you're new, just practice more. If you keep complaining, I won't do anything to you."

Qianlong Wuyong said in a deep voice: "Don't waste time, the war is important! Winning is the most important thing."

Here, three generals surrounded Zhao Huchen and fought with him like a revolving lantern.

Although Zhao Huchen's damage was high, fortunately, unlike fighting on foot, it was difficult to pursue him continuously. He would often just strike once and then run away. The three of them fought back and forth and cooperated with each other. For a while, they managed to attract the hatred of Zhao Huchen and left him no time to care about anything else.

Although Zhao Huchen was able to hold his own against three men, his subordinates were no match for him and were constantly stabbed off their horses.

However, the players were not without casualties. The cavalry charge was the most dangerous, and if you were not careful you would be killed instantly.

An unlucky guy with low health thought he had won the battle, and rushed out of the battle group to take some medicine to restore his health, but a Black Mountain Raider seized the opportunity and charged from behind with a gun, knocking him off his horse and becoming the first victim of this battle.

At this moment, the main forces of both sides have arrived.
