Chapter Six: The Battle to Suppress Thieves (Part 1)

Not to mention the officers and soldiers on the road. Now the bandit den on Longwo Mountain is full of chickens and dogs.

This bandit village on the top of Longwo Mountain is a junior bandit village with more than 200 bandits. There are several different identities in the cottage, 20-level small bandit, 22-level bandit, 21-level small bandit, 23-level bandit, 24-level bandit leader, 25-level bandit leader, 27-level bandit boss, and 28-level bandit The second king, the 30th-level bandit king Li Daya, and the 20th-level bandit strategist Li Ermao. From the point of view of function, the bandit holds a spear, blocks the road and robs; the bandit holds a big knife, kills and steals goods; the king - the highest leader, uses a machete, which is extremely tyrannical; the second king uses a level 25 Ring-shoudao; Counsellor——Without weapons, offer advice. It can be said that Longwo cottage is a small cottage with complete functions. Not only that, the cottage also has a solid wooden fence, Dazhai Gate, two primary arrow towers, and there is only one path up the mountain. Many bandits patrol the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Originally, the bandits only went down the mountain occasionally.

Ever since "Shenlong Village" not only killed a few lone thieves in the Shanzhai, but also came to attack the Shanzhai, Li Daya was furious, and with Li Ermao's persistent instigation, he led a large group of bandits to the Shenlong Village and killed them. The village was smashed to pieces. The abandoned village then became a stronghold of the cottage, and a large number of NPC villains and NPC hooligans began to appear. Li Ermao relied on his status as a counselor in the cottage, and often came to the village to select a group of 19-level villains to go up the mountain and transform them into thieves and bandits, and continued to expand the strength of the cottage. The number of people in the cottage increased from 120 to 200 come. Li Daya learned the lesson of being killed by a single bandit. Every time he sent a bandit out to rob, four or five teams would go out together under the leadership of the bandit leader at level 25, and he never left alone.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the government and army would dispatch a large number of people to exterminate him. Now Li Daya was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.

"Report..."

"My lord, the army's brigade is about to arrive at Shenlong Village."

"Hmm! How many people are there?" Li Daya asked;

"There are about a hundred officers and soldiers, and there are about a thousand strangers."

"what..."

The big and small bosses in the Juyi Hall all broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, how can we hold more than a thousand people... Let's run away quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Let's run, we will come back after the officers and soldiers leave."

"Yes..."

. . .

For a while, the hall was buzzing. . .

"Shut up. Where are you going? My lord. The officers and soldiers are nothing to be afraid of. There are only a hundred real officers and soldiers. What are there to be afraid of those strangers? My lord. Don't you remember those strangers last time? More than 100 people were beaten by 50 of us. Now we have more than 200 people, and we have walls and arrow towers. As long as we guard the gate of the village, what can the officers and soldiers do against us?" Li Ermao shouted;

"Yes, yes, yes..." Li Daya, who was awakened by Li Ermao's words, suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly ordered all the archers to go up the arrow tower and the wall, and then sent dozens of bandits to collect stones and wood.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they saw the condition of the cottage, everyone knew that today's battle might not be easy.

The NPC general looked at it and couldn't help but get a headache. The cavalry had already explored the surrounding area of ​​the village. There was only one road up the mountain, and there were arrow towers and walls. It seems that with more than a hundred soldiers and dozens of aliens at level 20, even if he is defeated, he may not have many soldiers. If this is the case, not only will he not be able to make meritorious service when he takes down the stronghold, but he may be dismissed. He had no choice but to set up a camp at the foot of the mountain, and then dispatched cavalry to several surrounding villages to recruit all players above level 15, and at the same time recruit players above level 15 at the gate of the camp. He is going to use level 15 players as cannon fodder as the first echelon,

It is used to consume the bandit's arrows and defense equipment, and then use a level 20 player to attack the gate of the village. If his soldiers are used as the third echelon, the officers and soldiers who take down the village should not suffer too much damage.

Now the players are moaning, but there is no way, if they don't go, they will be treated as a thief. So everyone gave their own things to people they knew well but didn't want to go to war. Then wear novice gear and prepare to be cannon fodder for glory.

Seeing this situation, Wang Chao in the crowd thought to himself: It seems that the battle today is a bit mysterious.

"Boss, why don't we just go around to the back of the cottage, maybe there will be some shortcuts." Xiao Jiejie did not give up.

"Dream, you! Don't think that the general is an idiot. A team of cavalry has already looked around the cottage." Adu burst out.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Chao said, "Let's go and have a look. Maybe there is a shortcut and we don't know it! Except for this road, the village is surrounded by forests. Although there is no road, there may be something new. I don’t even know the known shortcuts.”

"Uh. The problem is that there are a lot of high-level monsters in the mountains. With our small bodies, we can go back to Zongheng Village after touching them." Adu hesitated a little.

"There are so many people, some are scared away. Let's go and gamble."

"Yes. Just go and have a look."

As they spoke, the three of them slowly withdrew from the crowd, bypassed the camp, and walked behind Longwo Mountain.

Unexpectedly, there are many players on the road. Everyone looked at each other, and walked towards the back of the mountain tacitly.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Xiao Jiejie suddenly found that something was wrong around him. "Boss, why do I feel that it's so cold around me!"

When the others heard it, they also felt that something was wrong. The surrounding area was too quiet, and even the chirping of insects and birds that had just entered the woods suddenly disappeared. While everyone was looking around, several people in the depths of the forest ran out screaming.

"It's not good, old... tiger... run..."

"what..."

While talking, I saw a level 40 macular tiger rushing out of the forest. He was still talking about the bloody arms and legs of whoever he was. . .

Damn, this shit is too real. Wang Chao cursed in his heart. "Run, run, let's run separately... hurry up!"

Just as the words fell, there was a sound of "coaxing", and dozens of people scattered like birds and beasts.

Wang Chao was in a panic and didn't know which direction he was running. He just lowered his head and ran forward desperately. He didn't know how long he ran. He only felt that there were a few wild animals running around. Wang Chao knew that he must have escaped from the tiger's pursuit. . Panting, Wang Chao found a stone and sat down, cursing incessantly: "TMD, I'm going to complain, MD, this is too bloody..."

Just as Wang Chao and the others were fleeing desperately, the officers and soldiers' barracks also became lively. It was about noon when the officers and soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon soon after they settled down in the camp and had lunch. At this time, people from the surrounding villages were almost all present. So the NPC village will begin to gather soldiers and horses. At half past two, officers, soldiers and players gathered at the foot of Hutou Mountain.

The NPC general, leading 100 fully equipped officers and soldiers, stands majestically in the middle of the player's camp. This is the first bandit suppression mission he has taken since leading the army. He is full of ambition and determined to win. Although the bandits were a little stronger than he expected, he believed that with the help of many righteous men, he could break through the stronghold today. Now we must attack immediately, otherwise the situation will be difficult to control until the evening.

All the players are envious of the equipment of these officers and soldiers. Look at the sharp iron spears and swords, the bright red armor, and the well-trained level 20 horses. How much does it cost to get a set of equipment.

In addition to the officers and soldiers, there were a total of 472 players above level 15 and below level 18 who had taken the task of suppressing bandits, and 174 senior players above level 18. They were divided into five echelons and would attack the cottage one by one. Low-level players will undoubtedly become cannon fodder. If it weren't for the extremely rare task of suppressing bandits, and the general promised to reward copper coins and the title of "Righteous Soldier", as well as a piece of various weapons and equipment for each of the top 50 military exploits, I am afraid that few players would be willing to do this Kind of a death thing. These cannon fodders were already prepared to die in battle. They handed over all their items to friends who did not participate in the war for safekeeping, and they wore civilian clothes and copper knives, so as to minimize the loss caused by death.

In addition, there were two village heads personally present: Three Swords Village (Sentimental Sword, Ruthless Sword and Heartless Sword) and Yingjie Village (Heroes, Heroes). Their two villages, together with Shenlong Village, are the three closest villages to the cottage, so they are naturally most concerned about whether the bandit suppression will be successful. They don't want their village to be destroyed by bandits like Shenlong Village and turned into an abandoned village. So this time they mobilized thousands of players to station at the foot of Hutou Mountain—a small part of them took over the task of suppressing bandits, and the rest stayed in their respective stations at the foot of Hutou Mountain and waited and watched. (If the level is less than 15, you need to pay money to accept the task. Most players can't afford this money.)

A neat team of six or seven hundred people formed a formation along the foot of Longwo Mountain under the deployment and arrangement of NPC officers and soldiers.

As soon as the players in several waves were ready, the command of the general was issued immediately, and he shouted: "First echelon, rush——!"

"Come on!"

A hundred players from the first echelon charged towards the front. There is only one road leading to the top of the mountain. The terrain at the foot of the mountain is wide and can accommodate 30-40 people in a row, and it gets narrower as you go up. When we arrived at the gate of the cottage, there was only room for less than 20 people.

When the group of players rushed to the middle of the mountain, a fortification was launched, and the rolling logs and rocks that had been prepared plummeted down. There was a sound of screams, and nearly half of the hundred players were smashed to death immediately, and the surviving players were still in shock. A group of players cursed, "Damn it, why is there a fortification here that hasn't been dismantled? There's no way to die!" Let’s eat a bit.” “What are you doing for investigation!”
