The deliberate attack was ineffective. Bull and the surrounding players could not help but be stunned. They had thought about this attack for a long time. In theory, they should have broken through the stronghold gate.
The players were stunned. The Mountain Thieves were not going to be polite to them. The Mountain Thief Archers 'arrows rained down from the stronghold. Now that the players sent by Raging Bull had already rushed out, they did not need to aim. As long as they shot the arrows outside the stronghold, they would definitely hit the players. From time to time, white lights would flash.
"Quick, don't retreat. Charge forward!”Bull suddenly felt a sense of pressure. Although the players would not truly die after dying, the growth of their combat power was not like in the past games. They only needed to kill monsters. At that time, they needed to train hard. If a player died, the loss would be huge. Bull had Lu Bu, the War God of the Three Kingdoms, behind him. Although Lu Bu was not very good at teaching, he had experience. At least his cultivation path would not take a detour. But what about ordinary players? Those who had a combat strength of 60 were not qualified to be apprenticed. It was not easy for these players to cultivate their combat strength.
Most people who played Heroes wanted to improve their abilities. Perhaps these people wouldn't say anything, but Raging Bull felt bad. He had to make up for his mistakes as much as possible and minimize his losses.
Bull's choice was undoubtedly correct. If they retreated now, these players would become the target of the Mountain Thief Archers. If Flying Cloud Stronghold had Cavalry, the situation would be even worse.
However, players were usually selfish. Other than true friends in the real world, very few players would be loyal to strangers. The previous round of losses had shaken the confidence of many players in Bull, and many players began to quietly retreat and squeeze together with the players who were charging forward. They immediately became the main target of the bandits.
Looking at the chaotic crowd of players, Bull shook his head in disappointment. No wonder Lu Bu never liked players. It was difficult for such a group to achieve anything.
"Reserve team, let's go!" Raging Bull sighed helplessly. The reserve team was a group of players that Raging Bull had trained according to Lu Bu's training methods. There were more than 300 players. They were not very loyal to him, but at least they could play together. It was much easier to command them than to command these scattered players.
"Kill them!" Barbaric Bull raised his halberd and led the charge. This time, he was prepared to fight personally.
The reserve team was indeed much stronger than these ordinary players. Perhaps their individual combat strength was not much different, but at least after some simple training, their overall quality was much stronger than these scattered players. In war, unless one's individual courage could reach the level of a top-notch general and had heaven-defying skills such as killing techniques, it would not be very useful on the battlefield. At most, they could only be considered as slightly stronger soldiers.
The reserve team split into two groups and bypassed the players who were huddled together from both sides. They quickly approached the stronghold gate. At a distance of more than 100 meters, only a dozen unlucky players were killed by the arrows that flew everywhere.
When they arrived at the gate of the stronghold, a dozen people picked up the huge logs from before and continued to smash them. The others were divided into two groups. One group took out their bows and arrows to suppress the arrow rain in the stronghold, while the other group led the Wild Bull to climb up the ropes on the flying claws.
" Whoosh!" Bull was the first to climb up the village gate. He was welcomed by a few spears and podaos. Bull was also considered tough. He traded injuries for injuries. With his fearless spirit, he forcefully occupied a place and gave the players behind him a place to stand.
"Quick, go and seize the stronghold gate!" He stuck a few pieces of Golden Creation on his body to stop the bleeding while he ordered his men to go down and occupy the stronghold gate. Right now, there were more than ten Mountain Thieves guarding the stronghold gate. Although the bolt was broken, the players were still unable to enter.
A few players responded and ran down the wall. Unfortunately, the people guarding the wall were all elites from the stronghold. Their combat power was above 20, and they were led by a high-level General. These players, whose average combat power was only around 15, were no match for them. They did not have the combat power of Raging Bull, nor did they have Raging Bull's intrepid spirit. They were instantly pierced like hedgehogs, and Raging Bull was the only player left on the wall who was struggling to hold on.
"Brother Lu Hu! I can't hold on anymore!" Barbaric Bull roared anxiously. Now, he could only hope that Lu Hu, the No.2 man of Furious Bears Village, would come and help. He had invited Lu Hu this time to be his secret weapon. He did not expect that he would have to use it before he could even break through the village gate.
Lu Hu nodded indifferently. Even from a hundred meters away, the bull's thick voice could be heard.
He took out the Golden Back Blade that Lu Bu had given him and mounted his horse. The horse let out a long cry and charged towards the gate. The surrounding players quickly opened up a path for him. Even the players who were charging at the gate had long since raised their hammers and ran away. There was no other way. Looking at this guy's posture, if he did not open up more, he might even kill them.
"Open!" When they were still more than ten meters away from the gate, Lu Hu suddenly shouted, causing the ears of the surrounding players to buzz.
Even the mountain bandits behind the gate were momentarily stunned by this shout. In this short moment, Lu Hu had already rushed to the gate. His blade flickered with blood-red murderous intent as he slashed at the gate.
" Boom! Crack!" The sound was definitely more intense than when a dozen men had raised their battering rams to ram against the gate. The weak gate could no longer withstand the force and a hole as tall as two people was blasted open in the middle. Wood shavings flew everywhere. The dozen bandits blocking the gate were killed by Lu Hu with a few swift slashes.
Lu Hu's 20 heavy-armored spearmen immediately guarded the gate, and the broken gate slowly opened.
"This is a good opportunity. Everyone, charge!" Bull let out an excited squeak and slashed a bandit with his halberd. He rolled down from the wall using the rope. The reserve team had already swarmed in. Behind them, a large number of players saw the light of victory and rushed in like bees.
" Whoosh!" Just as they rushed into the stronghold gate, a wave of arrows rained down. In an instant, the ten or so players who had been running the most happily fell into a pool of blood, pouring cold water on the players 'excited minds.
"Quick, spread out, spread out and charge forward!”Barbaric Bull shouted anxiously. At this moment, he could not care less about his anger. If all these players died, he would not be able to take down the entire Flying Cloud Stronghold with just his 300 men and Lu Hu, a third-rate general.
[System Notification: Congratulations on breaking through the Flying Cloud Stronghold's gate. The attacking party's morale has increased by 10.]”
Hearing the system notification, Bull could not help but smile bitterly. Morale had a very limited effect on players, yet almost all the people he brought were players. Including Lu Hu, there were only 21 NPCs. Even if morale was raised to full value, it would not be of much use.
This time, the players chose to listen to Bull's command. Retreating at this time was undoubtedly a stupid move. The stronghold gate was only so big. With so many people squeezing through, the number of people who could survive would definitely not exceed 10%.
Ever since Lu Hu broke through the stronghold gate, he had not moved. This time, he had come to help Bull at a critical moment. He was not Bull's subordinate, so there was no need for him to rush into the enemy line in a daze.
Bull had nothing to say about this. The generals of Furious Bears Village had always followed Lu Bu's lead. Furthermore, Bull had always been at the bottom of Furious Bears Village's army. It was not easy for him to invite Lu Hu over. He really did not know when Wen Hou would come out. Bull was feeling very tired. It was not easy to deal with such small matters between players. He really did not know how the generals of ancient times commanded tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to fight.
Under Bull's command, the players and Flying Cloud Stronghold's melee bandits finally engaged in close combat. However, the situation was a little difficult. It was not an exaggeration to describe the current situation as a crushing defeat.
Don't get me wrong. The bandits were a force to be reckoned with here. Out of the 400 bandits, more than 200 of them were melee fighters. Under the leadership of four high-level Generals, a small group of players would be defeated in an instant. Usually, it would take 10 players to kill one bandit. If this continued, it would take 4,000 players to kill these 400 elite bandits. There was also the Intermediate Boss Chu Feiyun with 79 martial strength. Just thinking about it gave Bull a headache.
"Archers, Warlocks, and Daoists, gather and attack wherever there are more people!”Barbaric Bull shouted. Although Warlocks and Daoists did not have any skills and could only cast low-level spells like Fire Talismans, their power was not bad. When combined, their lethality was considerable.
Whoosh whoosh who 1 to the current 3:1 to 2:1. Bull could accept this result.
"Heavenly King, bring a few people to the village to take a look! If the BOSS was about to return, he might die.”Bull said to one of his underlings.
"Got it. Don't worry, Brother Bull," The Heavenly King said as he ran back.
Unfortunately, whether it was Bull or the other players, they all made the same mistake. According to the rules of the game in the past, the BOSS would not appear before clearing the monsters. However, it was different in Hero. These game characters had souls, and few people cared about this.
Having a soul meant that one could think for themselves and would not rigidly follow the system's rules. In an era like the Three Kingdoms, if one's home was destroyed and one did not come out, wouldn't that be brainless?
In fact, Chu Feiyun had already taken action when he found out that the stronghold had been attacked. Chu Feiyun had been instructing his underlings to lure the players from Raging Bull to the center of the stronghold. Although Raging Bull and the others had a hard time fighting, their gradual victory had made them lower their guard. Unknowingly, they had been lured to Chu Feiyun's ambush point or the place where he had planned to ambush them.
