Chapter 1003: The Battle in Shu, Hell Duplicate

Although Ranxueyun once said that the Shubei Army did not need him as the commander of the army, his "abandoning darkness and turning to the light" still caused great chaos to the command system of the Blood Knife Sect. Long Xiaotian used this to launch a targeted counterattack against the Shubei Army of the Blood Knife Sect. After Xue Ranyun suddenly left the Blood Knife Sect, the entire Shubei Army of the Blood Knife Sect seemed to have lost its backbone and was panicked, with heavy casualties...

Long Xiaotian's counterattack tactics are simply "reducing stove turtle breath battle". This is a newly formulated guerrilla warfare tactics specifically targeting point-distance guerrilla warfare after more than two months of research and summary, as well as paying the price of millions of star constellation players' deaths.

Specifically, it is to first send a large army that the opponent cannot eat in one bite to sweep the points away from the guerrilla war zone. Of course, doing this is just a cover-up. After all, if you sweep like this, the Shubei Army of the Blood Knife Sect will definitely adopt the evasion tactic of the enemy's advance and retreat. Therefore, the real purpose of the sweep is to "reduce the stove", that is, during the sweep process, the top masters of the Xingsu Sect, units of a 100-man team, ambush the Xingsu Sect along the way, and then let the sweep troops who are constantly "reducing" return to the stronghold Lizhou City.

These masters of the Star Constellation Sect who were ambushing along the road did not hide in trees or search for some caves to hide, but instead used palm power to punch a big hole on the ground and then buried themselves alive. Since these masters of the Star Constellation Sect who buried themselves alive each practiced the intermediate internal turtle breathing skills of the Star Constellation Sect until they reached their peak, these masters will not only not be suffocated, but even if there are internal abilities masters with sharp ears and eyes, they will not be able to detect their existence.

In fact, the tactic of hiding turtle breath in the Star Constellation School was revealed in the Japanese Pirate Island dungeon many years ago. At that time, it was to fight with Fang Jie and the Forgetful Pavilion to send the only turtle breathing brigade team in Long Xiaotian's hands. However, in that big melee, they faced all the backbone members of the Forgetful Pavilion who are the top experts in the world, so they did not get any advantage.

Now that time has passed, the Turtle Achievement Team has developed into a team of 100,000 people, and its overall strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. It may still be impossible to fight against experts like Wangqing, Quancun, and destroy everything, but it is no problem to deal with ordinary Blood Sword players.

It can be imagined that these 100,000 people are buried in the mountains and forests, and the players of the Blood Knife Sect who stepped over them into the ambush circle are still in the dark. When countless disciples of the Star Sect suddenly emerged from the ground and rushed towards their opponents, the blood Knife Sect's point-distance team that was not careful is basically the result of being destroyed. Even the entire point-distance team may be directly made into dumplings.

If the Bloody Cloud was still in charge of the Shubei Army, it would definitely be possible to discover and find out the weaknesses of the Xingsu faction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Bloody Cloud disappeared for half a month. In this half month, the Shubei Army, which had almost zero casualties, suffered 70,000 or 80,000 casualties, and the dot-distance square formation set up by hundreds of thousands of people was also seriously damaged under the attack of the Xingsu faction Turtle Breath Special Forces.

When Ranxue Cloud appeared again, he turned to Wangqing Pavilion without saying a word. Since then, although Decaying Xue Shao and Hengdao Xiaotian have asked Ranxue Cloud for advice many times, Ranxue Cloud, who is indescribable, remained silent and refused to offer advice, and never explained why they suddenly disappeared for half a month and why they surrendered to Wangqing Pavilion. In short, Ranxue Cloud's irresponsible attitude and inexplicable "rebellion" made the Blood Sword Sect angry that they were not fighting and helpless, and they gradually fell into a passive position in the war.

Of course, although Long Xiaotian's tactics controlled the further development of the guerrilla warfare to a certain extent, causing great casualties to the Shubei Army of the Blood Knife Sect, looking at the entire battle situation, the achievements made could not completely change the situation in the entire Shuzhong region. At most, they took the initiative in defense and firmly controlled Lizhou City in their own hands, laying the foundation for the next step to take control of the Shuzhong region.

After all, the Turtle Breath tactic is only suitable for passive defense and cannot take the initiative to attack. Even if Lizhou City can already fight troops, the situation is not as optimistic as Long Xiaotian imagined in advance. Therefore, the current situation in Shubei has only changed from the advantage of the Blood Sword Sect to a confrontation situation. Both sides are playing hide-and-seek, but they cannot get too much advantage from their opponents.

It can be said that after Long Xiaotian set up a plan to drive away the Blood Cloud and formulated this set of tactics, the war in northern Shu continued to stalemate. Under the joint restraint of the Blood Knife Sect, the Ancient Tomb Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect, the Xingsu Sect only barely gained a foothold in Lizhou and was temporarily unable to expand outward.

At the same time, the situation in southern Shu also changed dramatically.

Originally, the Duan clan of Dali and its army in the Western Regions fought with Dalun Temple, which belonged to the Western Regions, in the southern part of Shu. Although the number of NPC soldiers in the Western Regions was far higher than that in the Western Regions, as Ranxueyun once said, the battle was about money, and the economic strength of the Duan clan of Dali was much stronger than that of Dalun Temple, so after two or three months of consumption, Dalun Temple was weak and gradually fell into a passive position.

Logically speaking, Dalun Temple and the Blood Knife Gate are in the same camp, so they should help each other, but it is obvious that they were determined to annex the Blood Knife Gate of Dalun Temple at this critical moment, so at the beginning and end, they did not send a soldier and a soldier to reinforce Dalun Temple on the grounds that they were not able to resist the lack of manpower in the south.

The head of the Blood Knife Sect, Tengzhi, was naturally quite annoyed about the behavior of not saving the blood sword sect, but he had no choice but to this point. After all, the national war has not stopped just as he wants to.

If Dalun Temple retreated back to the sect base and retired to the mountains, it would be like giving up the opportunity to divide the big cake of the national war, and the Blood Knife Sect, which has made countless martial arts cultivation points, will definitely improve its overall strength. When the non-national war year arrives, it is hard to say whether Dalun Temple, which is self-proclaimed, can still withstand the other party's struggle.

But if you don’t give up, Dalun Temple has not only not made any profit, but has also lost a little. If you just accompany Duan of Dali to continue to waste, it may not be a loss of one or two points, but it is very likely that you will lose all your money. The so-called economy determines politics. Once the players of Dalun Temple all lose money, then the head of the Dalun Temple, Dingzhi, may be the end of the day.

However, just when the camp was at a loss, the Southern Barbarians camp entrenched in Guilin, after three months of annihilation of the Western Army in Wuzhou City behind it, began to divide troops northward, one of which was led by Yaowang Valley and rushed to the central area, while the other was led by Wanshou Villa, and advanced into the Huguang area of ​​the Central Plains.

According to the original strategic plan, the Southern Barbarians camp originally went north and directly entered the Central Plains. However, due to the great defeat in Wuzhou City, they had to rest in Guilin City. After that, they had to first solve the enemy from Wuzhou City, so they wasted two or three months of time and failed, which also caused some differences within the Southern Barbarians camp to choose the next offensive target.

Yaowang Valley, who is close to Wangqing Pavilion, believes that at the beginning of the national war, the parties belonging to the central dynasty camp did not have sufficient psychological preparations for the national war, so the foreign powers had the opportunity to suddenly attack the troubled waters, seize the Hu family outside the pass of Beijing, the Xingsu faction of Yongdeng, and the Blood Knife Gate that opened the throat of Sichuan and Tibet. They all took advantage of this to seize the opportunity. The strategic plan that the Southern Barbarians originally decided to seize Guilin first and then Xu Tu went north to attack the Central Plains was formulated based on this condition.

But now, half a year after the start of the National War, the entire situation in the martial arts world has gradually stabilized, and it is unrealistic to use lightning tactics to break into the Central Plains.

For example, the Jurchen Kingdom is entrenched in Beijing and its surrounding areas, while the Khitan Kingdom camp is entrenched in Taiyuan City, fighting with the Jurchen Kingdom camp. In the short term, these two camps are unlikely to go south to restrain the attention of the various factions of the central dynasty camp. Not to mention the Dongyi Kingdom in the east, it has been in name only. The meaning of its existence is only to make martial arts cultivation points for players; the Southeast and Western countries camps have also been driven back to their nests under the joint attack of the three factions of Wudang, Beggar Gang, and Xiaoyao, and the other army has been killed by the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, so it is very likely that it will become the second in the Dongyi Kingdom and become the next sparring country to be regarded as a monster by players.

Looking at the entire national war situation, the most complicated situation is the Shuzhong region, which already includes the Western Regions, Mongolia, Xixia, and the four-sided camp forces of the Central Dynasty are fighting each other. However, no matter how chaotic this area is, it seems that it is only controlled within a limited range. Although all forces have tried their best to seize Shuzhong, they have not made any breakthrough progress and have not been driven out of Shuzhong region by other forces.

Therefore, if the Southern Barbarians advance northward and advance into the Central Plains, they will likely become the target of the casual and boring Central Plains sects. If you don’t say anything about the Wangqing Pavilion, you will definitely not watch the Huguang area occupied by foreign forces and wipe out the Wudang Sect, Beggar Sect and Xiaoyao Sect, which have completely wiped out the Western Army, and they will also likely give up the encirclement and suppression of the Western forces and turn to deal with the Southern Barbarians. After all, relatively speaking, the Southern Barbarians’ vine armored soldiers are much easier to deal with than the Western firearms, and the Central Plains sects have no reason to give up the opportunity to divide this cake.

If the Southern Barbarians are now heading north and then westward toward Sichuan and Shu, they can avoid the huge risk of becoming the target of public criticism, and they can also intersperse the army of the Western Xia Kingdom to look for opportunities. After all, the Western Xia Kingdom is fighting fiercely with the Tufan Kingdom at this time, and they do not spend too much energy to resist the attacks of other forces. If the Southern Barbarians can seize this opportunity, they will definitely get a lot of advantage, which is much more meaningful than the practical significance of invasion of the Central Plains.

In short, even if we put aside the factors of Wangqing Pavilion, the senior officials of Yaowang Valley still insist that they have lost the opportunity to invade the Central Plains. The best choice is to put the money in order to make peace. Finding an opponent that is not too difficult to deal with is the right way to win some national war rewards, and the chaos in Shuzhong is the opportunity for the Southern Barbarians.

However, Wanshou Villa seemed a little disagreeable about the choice of Medicine King Valley. Wanshou Villa believed that even if the Southern Barbarian Kingdom could gain some benefits in the Shuzhong area, in the long run, invading the Central Plains is still a must-take in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. It is better to leave early than to go late. The so-called risk and return are proportional to the return. If you can enter the Huguang area and at least control Changsha City to sweep the troops, the national war rewards may be huge profits. After all, the number of players in the Central Plains area is there. The national war rewards earned by killing some people in the heart of the Central Plains are much more cost-effective than killing NPC soldiers in the powerful country.

More importantly, the way for disciples of Wanshou Villa is to use animal taming techniques to drive the moneyless beast legion to kill people, which is almost ineffective, because even if the beast legion is completely wiped out, as long as one beast tide can kill hundreds or thousands of people, it will be profitable. Therefore, compared with the more conservative and cautious attitude of Medicine King Valley, Wanshou Villa seems extremely radical and adventurous. In other words, this is actually a barefoot mentality of not afraid of wearing shoes.

Of course, the Medicine King Valley did not dare to take risks with Wanshou Villa so much, and there was no such condition to take risks, so the two sides finally chose to part ways. One went to the Sichuan area with the mentality of being able to catch a little bit, while the other went into Hunan with the mentality of seeking wealth and danger.

Not to mention the backlash of players from all the people in Wanzhou Villa entering Hunan, the Central Plains players would be exposed to the Central Plains. It is said that after the Medicine King Valley attacked Shuzhong, five forces and camps in the entire Shuzhong had joined it. The situation was even more chaotic and dazzling.

In fact, it cannot be said to be chaos, because the addition of the Southern Barbarians, there are five power countries mixed in, and the odd numbers have always formed some kind of checks and balances and stability, such as the "Three Kingdoms", "Five Hegemons" and "Seven Heroes". So at this time the situation in Shu seemed very chaotic on the surface, but in fact it stabilized the situation in this area.

In fact, you can see it at a glance after a little analysis.

The current situation is that the powerful Xingsu Sect and its Mongolian Kingdom were restrained by the Ming Cult to move eastward to the north of the Qinling Mountains, and were restrained by the Ancient Tomb Sect, Quanzhen Sect, and Blood Knife Sect to the south of the Qinling Mountains, and could not move southward. Too many opponents allowed the Xingsu Sect to disperse too much energy and could only stand stalemate with all parties; the Blood Knife Sect of the Western Regions was also restrained by the Xingsu Sect, and they wanted to seize Chengdu City from the Emei Sect, so they were also restrained by the Emei Sect and Qingcheng Sect, and internally they were disagreeable with the Dalun Temple, so they could not get all the support of the Western Regions.

There is no need to say much about Dalun Temple on the other side of the Western Regions. Anyway, it has been miserable by the Western Xia Kingdom, and the situation of the Western Xia Kingdom is not easy. Especially after the Southern Barbarians joined the dispute, the Dali Duan clan and the Western Xia Kingdom were just gritting their teeth and consuming the other two forces. However, the Southern Barbarians did not go all out. The only way to the central area of ​​Shu was the Yaowang Valley, so they could only restrain the Western Xia Kingdom and could not hurt the root cause.

The Emei Sect, which belongs to the central dynasty camp surrounded by these powerful countries, would be good enough to defend the Chengdu City and Mount Emei at this time, and there was no such condition to act rashly. Therefore, after this analysis, the five-sided camp was equivalent to falling into a strange quagmire. Everyone wanted to destroy their opponents and occupy Shuzhong. No one could really cause a fatal blow to their opponents under the restraint of all parties. Moreover, no one could withdraw at this critical moment, and could only continue to waste in this quagmire.

In short, the checks and balances in Shu that Fang Jie had predicted were formed quietly, and the actual situation was even more perfect than he had expected in advance. The various factions entering the battle for Shu truly realized the dramatic situation of having you and me and I have you, and this situation may not be very likely to change in the short term. As for which force can win in the end... in fact, the result is no longer meaningful, because no matter which side wins, it is just a miserable victory. The real winner is the game system that collects 50% of the national war wealth.

While the entire game world was in full swing, all players were experiencing the fun and pleasure brought by the war in the era of cold weapons, Fang Jie was still practicing level alone, unswervingly moving towards the ultimate goal step by step. Perhaps for Fang Jie, what he was interested in now is to challenge the levels set by the game system for him.

However, in the past six months after the start of the National War, Fang Jie gradually felt something was wrong, because according to the situation collected from Wangqing Pavilion in all aspects, some perverted player experts have appeared in the world.

The so-called perverted master is a top expert player whose strength is close or even less than Fang Jie in some aspects. The consistent feature of these players is that they have a more subject-to-subject distribution in the initial allocation of the four basic attributes, so that they do not need to complete reincarnation and rebirth like Fang Jie to obtain enough talent attribute points to fully practice super martial arts.

For example, Zhuge Wuming, who was determined to learn the Great Transfer of the Universe and the Nine Yang Divine Arts, increased the innate root bone and innate enlightenment to 30 points at the beginning of the game. Therefore, as long as he increased these two attributes to 38 points by taking ten thousand pills, he would have the conditions to practice the Great Transfer of the Universe and the Nine Yang Divine Arts to great success. If Fang Jie had not snatched his secret book by chance and delayed his progress, he would have practiced these two martial arts long ago.

However, after a few years of the battle between Shaolin Nine Yang, Zhuge Wuming finally learned the Nine Yang Divine Art. In addition, he had mastered the Great Shift of the Universe, so in terms of super martial arts skills, he had a more advantage than Fang Jie, who was unable to fully practice super martial arts due to talent restrictions. If other factors were not taken into account and the two only used super martial arts to compete, Fang Jie might not be the opponent.

In addition, after years of hard work, Zhuge Wuming has successfully advanced to the Grand Master of Martial Arts, meeting the conditions for doing the Grand Master task, and has more opportunities to get rewards from the Chong Acupoint Copper Man. In addition, the Chong Acupoint Copper Man acquired from other Grand Masters players in the market, a large number of acupuncture points have been knocked away by them at this time, and all attributes have been greatly improved.

That's fine. After the start of the National War, everyone has the opportunity to gain a lot of martial arts cultivation points, especially Zhuge Wuming, a senior leader of the Ming Cult and the former head, learned from Fang Jie to other forces to make martial arts cultivation points. As a result, it might have taken several years to practice the Nine Yang Divine Arts skills to the maximum level, and in just half a year he completely practiced the Nine Yang Divine Arts to a complete success.

In addition to Zhuge Wuming, there are many advanced players like him who have the opportunity to obtain super martial arts secrets and meet the learning conditions but are unable to practice super martial arts to achieve the short term. The most typical one is that they have mastered a large number of sect resources and have high-level officials of various sects and rmb players.

It is no longer difficult for these people to get one or two super martial arts secrets and meet the talent requirements. The difficulty lies in their busy life in sect affairs or laziness, but they cannot spend too much time to practice their skills proficiency. The start of the national war and the emergence of martial arts cultivation attributes just give them the best opportunity to directly spend money to buy skills proficiency and quickly improve their own strength.

These perverted players who spring up like mushrooms after a rain are naturally not as good as Fang Jie, the most perverted. After all, the improvement of martial arts proficiency is only one of the factors that affect the strength of martial arts, not a decisive factor. Fang Jie, who has opened the meridians of the small Zhoutian, is still far superior to these people in all aspects. If he really fights head-on, he will probably be killed instantly by Fang Jie.

But then again, these perverted players who have mastered super martial arts or quasi-super martial arts to great success have also possessed the ability to kill a group with one against ten thousand. Although they cannot hurt Fang Jie and dare not provoke Fang Jie, if they are willing to deal with ordinary players in Wangqing Pavilion to destroy the development of Wangqing Pavilion, except for Fang Jie and a few players who also reach the pervert level in Wangqing Pavilion who have the ability to stop it, ordinary players can only escape when they see the wind.

In fact, as long as Fang Jie can maintain the overwhelming number one in the martial arts value in the entire world, even if the perverted master who has a grudge against him is willing to deal with Wangqing Pavilion, he is unlikely to come and cause trouble at the risk of being retaliated by Fang Jie to become Bai Ding. But one thing Fang Jie has to consider is that if these potential enemies are allowed to quickly improve their strength and he is still standing still, I believe that in a few years, these people will break all the small Zhoutian meridians and lose the overwhelming deterrence of force. At that time, if you want to level up with peace of mind, it would be just a luxury.

Therefore, after two and a half years of standing still, Fang Jie decided not to wait any longer, but planned to go to the eighteenth floor Hell copy to touch the situation. Although this risk was a bit big and did not conform to his usual cautious style of conduct, in the long run, even if he was instantly released as soon as he entered, he thought it was still worth taking this risk.

Because if you no longer have an overwhelming absolute advantage in a few years, and everyone is in the game bottle stage, then you will not be watching the basic strength of martial arts, but it is very likely to be a bonus for equipment. If you want to get top weapons and equipment that others cannot surpass and maintain absolute advantages, you must go to the eighteen levels of hell dungeon to explore and win treasures. Moreover, this will be a process of preparing for the future of opening up the hell dungeon and completing reincarnation and rebirth. Sooner or later, it will be carried out.

Of course, the fewer people know about going to the hell, the better, so as not to get back, so as not to get the enemy to find out when he was leaving the dungeon. So after this plan, Fang Jie just asked Yi Ling to make a special plan, and spent most of the day to sort out his Qiankun Ring and the game props in the warehouse. He also spent a lot of money in the auction house to buy some special game props that might be used when leaving the dungeon. Then he sneaked into the hell copy with full arms.
