Chapter 120: Stuck at Taniguchi
Yuan Zhang was very depressed, thinking that he, a dignified army commander, had been reduced to a tool.
If you want the legion to exert its maximum strength, you must die once. How can this make sense?
Therefore, Yuan Zhang was very depressed at this time.
The Huns were once again blocked for 10 minutes, and after wiping out all the players in the Nursery Legion, they pursued them again.
As for the players, under the command of Li Jichen and relying on the obstruction of various legions, they finally reached the Broken Wall Valley.
Li Jichen looked at the pass of Broken Wall Valley near Chi Chi. He looked back at the chasing Huns and directly ordered the players to stop.
Li Jichen's mortal army was deliberately left at the end.
Because he did not trust other legions to carry out the last step to lure the enemy. After all, these Huns were not stupid and had high IQs.
If he ran into the valley without thinking, the Huns would probably become suspicious.
Therefore, there is a point in deciding when to stop the Huns and when to let them enter the valley.
"Brothers, the Broken Wall Valley is ahead of us. We were chased all the way by this group of Huns cavalry. It's time to vent our anger!"
"But brothers, the Huns are very cunning. If we retreat into the valley rashly, the Huns will most likely not pursue us. Instead, they will search outside the valley entrance. If they find any clues, we will have lost all our efforts."
"Then the brothers have run these twenty miles in vain! So, I plan to have a fight with the Huns at the mouth of the valley to knock them out of their temper, and then slowly retreat."
"After knocking down the ambush, we used ourselves as bait to lure them over! Brothers, do you understand?" Li Jichen encouraged the players of his own army in the army chat channel.
"Boss, we all understand what you said. Just tell us, what do you want us to do?"
"That's right, boss, just say it directly. Anyway, brothers have thought clearly. The worst is to die once. As long as we can kill all these turtles, we will listen to you."
When the players heard Li Jichen's words, they began to respond one after another.
"Okay! Since everyone agrees, let's line up directly with our backs to the valley! Brothers in the first 10 rows, put up the big shield for me! Brothers in the back, switch to long-range and shoot them for me!" Li Jichen pointed directly at them!
Legion members ordered.
"Brothers in the front row, your casualties may be heavy. Brothers in the back remember to fill in!"
"Brothers at the back, the walking bows or crossbows in your hands have a farther range than the Huns' cavalry bows. Don't be afraid, just shoot with them!"
"Brothers, work hard. Today we are going to let these Huns know how powerful our players are!"
Li Jichen explained clearly to the players how to fight this game, and the players took action quickly.
The entire Broken Wall Valley is only more than a hundred meters wide, but its length is more than 10 miles. It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Li Jichen and others were afraid of the Huns and did not dare to pursue them rashly. They formed an array directly outside the valley entrance and did not enter the valley at all.
His idea was very simple. He engaged the Huns at the entrance of the valley, but instead of fighting them head-on, he began to slowly retreat. This gave the Huns the illusion that they planned to use the terrain of the valley to resist the Hun cavalry.
And with the player legion as a guide, the Huns would not think of an ambush or anything, because Li Jichen and his legion numbered more than 30,000 people.
Not to mention that the Huns had killed hundreds of thousands of players along the way. King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu did not believe that these players, that is, the Han army, had reinforcements.
Another point is that in King Zuo Xian's view, this was definitely a disastrous defeat for the Han army, an even worse defeat than the last time. Last time, only 50,000 players were killed. Counting this time, it was almost 200,000.
There are people and horses.
This was definitely a devastating defeat for the Han army.
Under such circumstances, you still use these 30,000 people as bait to trick yourself into being fooled? Is it possible?
Therefore, when looking at the Han troops arrayed with their backs to the valley, King Zuo Xian's first reaction was that these Han troops were preparing to rely on the valley to block themselves, and then wait for reinforcements.
After all, there are cavalry on our side. After entering the valley, it will be difficult to take advantage of the cavalry.
Perhaps because of this, these Han troops wanted to stop them in the valley, not hoping that they could reach Anding or Chang'an.
Thinking of this, King Zuo Xian showed a cruel smile on his face.
"You want to use this to stop me? You are really underestimating me!" King Zuo Xian sneered, and then directly ordered the Hun cavalry under his command to slowly press forward.
After all, the Huns' horses had already traveled twenty miles during this attack. Let the horses take a breather and then go all out to defeat the last Han army.
When the Xiongnu messenger saw King Zuo Xian waving his hand, he immediately understood what his King Zuo Xian meant.
There is another sad sound of horns, and the Hun cavalry begins to slowly press towards the player.
The Huns' war horses only walked slowly at first, and the horse's nose made a sound of "whisper, huff", and then the horse's pace became faster and faster.
The Huns' horses began to speed up, but after traveling less than a hundred meters, the Huns' horses began to trot.
After all, there is a valley mouth ahead, a funnel-shaped entrance. If the war horses run too fast, they are likely to collide.
You know, if a collision occurs at this time, it will definitely be a tragedy.
Therefore, the Huns' cavalry could only run slowly.
When these Huns ran only a hundred steps away from the player's defense line, a large rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the player's army.
The Hun cavalry in the front row were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Then these Hun cavalry were not to be outdone and directly bent their bows to fight back.
However, the Huns' shooting at this time has entered the cooling time, and its lethality is greatly reduced. Not many players are hit by arrows at all.
However, as a tribe that has been able to fight for hundreds of years without being wiped out, the Huns did not only rely on their battle formation attributes.
They also have a way to deal with this tight formation.
Since shooting you in the front row won't cause you a lot of casualties, then shoot you in the back row.
As the distance got closer and closer, the Huns were able to reach the long-range players behind them, so these Huns directly raised their bows and arrows by half an inch, and shot the arrows directly into the long-range players behind them.
Since long-range players had to use both hands to draw a bow, they were unable to use a large shield, so they were hit by many arrows at once.
The two sides began to enter a situation of mutual consumption.
However, this situation is exactly what Li Jichen wants!
If you can't cause casualties to the Huns, how can you bring out their anger?
Li Jichen watched the Huns keep falling, and he felt very happy in his heart.
He glanced at the players on his side again and found that there were almost ten thousand fewer players. He knew it was time.
"Brothers, the Huns on the opposite side were angered by us, and we started to retreat!"
"Remember, no matter what happens! You can't mess up the shield battle in the front row! If you mess up, we won't be able to escape!"
"Remote brothers at the back, pay attention to take up positions in time!"
