Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 734 The mentality collapsed

Just when Liu Xing and Ding Kun were about to leave, Wellington suddenly said: "By the way, after our army has landed in the city in two days, I will arrange for you to go to the front line to persuade surrender, but you only need to go through a cutscene. It's alright, after all, everyone knows that it is impossible to persuade the surrender, but if you don't persuade Liu Xing to surrender, then someone will definitely ridicule you."

   Liu Xing and Ding Kun nodded, then left directly.

   Back to his camp, after confirming that Rodriguez was not monitoring them, Liu Xing and Ding Kun had dinner and chatted in front of a fire.

   "What do you think, Liu Xing, should we find an opportunity to leave early?" Ding Kun said with some melancholy.

Liu Xing sighed and said helplessly: "Slip away? Where can we slip now? Anyway, I don't know anything about the Skaven Kingdom. If we run away in advance, I'm afraid we will starve to death on this great plain. But if we don't run away, there is a real possibility that Louis will make his sidekick work against us, and if Chen Zixuan knows about this, he will probably choose to let it go... Of course, if it is in the interests of the empire From our point of view, Chen Zixuan is likely to choose to sacrifice us."

"Yeah." Ding Kun also followed with a sigh and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that we have become lambs to be slaughtered. There are tens of thousands of butchers around us, and we want to leave early. It's really hard, and even if we did leave the army, it would actually give those guys some benefits, because they can better destroy the corpses, and then perfunctory our deaths in the name of 'disappearance', but In comparison, I think Yin En and Zhang Wenbing are more likely to encounter assassination than we are, because Zhang Wenbing and Yin En's army commander is Bonaparte, and Louis can also use this to question Bonaparte. ."

"But the lords and middle and high-level generals in the army of Bonaparte should all belong to Bonaparte. It is not easy for Louis to send someone to assassinate Yin En and Zhang Wenbing, and if the assassin is caught by Bonaparte alive If so, then Bonaparte is likely to seek the help of the empire, and then launch an uprising in advance, so the operational space on our side will be larger, but according to the consistent style of the game hall of the Cthulhu running group , I think it is very likely that Louis will come one or two flowers and attack both us and Yin En at the same time." Liu Xing shook his head and said.

Ding Kun nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, but it is also possible that kp rolls the dice to decide whether Louis will do it, or kp rolls the dice to decide whether Louis will do it to us... All in all, it depends on our luck, if we are unlucky, I am afraid we have to explain it here."

Liu Xing thought for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Actually, I still really want to die here like this, and end this mod like this, because I really don't want to sit outside the city of Bolin for a year and a half. It was really hard to go through.”

"Liu Xing, you're right, I'm starting to regret why I couldn't think of clicking to start the game, and then I was teleported to such a wonderful mod. I doubt if we really stayed in this mod for two or two years. In three years, when we leave this mod, we will be out of touch with the real world, because we may get used to our current life by then." Ding Kun said, looking into the distance.

   Liu Xing nodded silently, not knowing what to say for a while.

Because in Liu Xing's view, Ding Kun's conjecture is likely to become a reality, because there is a saying well - human beings are a kind of highly adaptable animals, which can also be understood in disguise as human beings are an easy A creature that is changed by the environment, but change always requires a process, especially switching between two environments with huge gaps.

   The gap between medieval Europe and modern society is self-evident.

   So Liu Xing knew that if he was really used to life in this world, after leaving the mod and returning to the real world, it would probably take him a while to get back to normal.

   This made Liu Xing feel a little terrified.

At this time, Ding Kun continued: "I once heard from a friend of mine that he once had a teammate who participated in a module very similar to ours now. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, players needed to choose one of the princes to complete the unification. As a result, it took these players forty years to complete the task, so those players seemed to have changed after returning to the real world, after all They're going through a whole new life in the mod."

   The corner of Liu Xing's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help thinking of the protagonists of some Soul Wear novels that Wu Lei once complained about.

   Liu Xing also replied to Wu Lei at the time, saying that the protagonists of the novels may have memories of their original bodies. As a result, Wu Lei just gave Liu Xing a blank look and said "Haha".

   Now that I think about it, Liu Xing begins to wonder if Wu Lei has experienced such a mod before.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. If we do encounter an assassin, we will have to resign ourselves to fate." Ding Kun put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, "Fortunately, this is Zhang Jingxu's dream, so we You can also use familiar bowls and chopsticks.”

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm really not used to using knives and forks anyway, so I basically haven't been to any western restaurants since I finished college."

   "That's because you don't have a girlfriend." Ding Kunyin said with a smile.

   heartbroken. . .

   Liu Xing sighed and couldn't help thinking of Tian Qing.

  Because in Liu Xing's memory, the only time he went to a western restaurant was on his first birthday after dating Tian Qing.

   Seeing Liu Xing's mood suddenly drop, Ding Kun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said."

   Liu Xing came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something."

   After talking here, the atmosphere was already a bit awkward, so Liu Xing and Ding Kun ended the conversation with a tacit understanding and went back to their respective small tents to rest.

  Three days later, the army finally came to the city of Bo Lin.

During these three days, the rebels continued to send cavalry to harass them, but Wellington, who had been prepared, easily annihilated those rebel cavalry, so now the morale of the army is not bad, everyone They all feel that the rebels only have quantity, not quality.

   But the last thing Liu Xing wanted to see happened.

  According to the scout's report, the rebels only arranged 10,000 soldiers to garrison in the fortifications outside the city, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers directly retreated to Bolin City.

More importantly, the rebels did not sit idle during this period of time. They just built another ten-meter-high city wall outside the city of Bolin. You must know that even in the mud city, the capital of the Skaven Kingdom, the height of the city wall is high. Also less than six meters.

Liu Xing still remembers that he had seen some popular science about ancient city walls in a historical novel at a certain point. Among them, it was mentioned that the height of the city walls of many famous cities was only about three meters. At about six meters, only the important passes like Shanhaiguan can have a city wall about ten meters high.

   Of course, there are exceptions to everything, just like Jinling in the Ming Dynasty had a city wall with a height of 12 meters.

   But back to the topic, because there is a lack of suitable siege weapons in the army, Wellington, who is looking at the city and sighs, can only convene people again to discuss how to break the city.

   The result is naturally two words - siege.

  If there is no way to siege the city, it can only be besieged.

Although Liu Xing and Ding Kun both wanted to suggest to Wellington to make simple siege weapons such as cloud ladders, but when they thought that their soldiers were 20,000 fewer than the enemy's, Liu Xing and Ding Kun gave up the idea , because simple siege weapons like cloud ladders are only suitable for use when the siege side has a big advantage, otherwise it is a waste of money for soldiers to mount a ladder to climb the city.

  So after Liu Xing and Ding Kun pretended to persuade them to surrender under Bo Lin City, they retreated in embarrassment under the arrows of the rebels.

   By the way, the persuasion to surrender this time did not trigger any judgment, which means that it is impossible to persuade the rebels to surrender.

   So Liu Xing and Ding Kun gave up the idea of ​​persuading them to surrender again.

   In this way, the two sides faced off for a whole month.

   During this month, although the two sides continued to have small conflicts, a decent battle never happened, because one side couldn’t find the opportunity to attack, and the other side didn’t plan to attack at all.

As for the situation of the other two armies, the situation was not much better. Zhang Jingxu also began to surround the city of Ruszia, while the plague clan in the city of Ruszia played an empty city and directly opened the city gates, and also on the city walls. No defenses are placed.

   But everyone knows that the Plague Clan simply abandoned the city walls and wanted to fight the allied forces in the street battles they were best at.

Although   Louis made many wrong choices before, this time Louis was not stupid enough to send someone to attack the city directly, so the two sides also started a confrontation.

On the side of Yin En and Zhang Wenbing, after recovering several small villages, they also encountered the stubborn resistance of several towns and refused to surrender to the coalition forces, so Bonaparte had to divide his forces to surround these towns. It is impossible to capture these towns in a short period of time, unless he is willing to pay huge personnel losses to force the siege.

Of course Bonaparte would not do this, because Bonaparte also knew very well that after this war was over, it was the best time to take back the throne of Skaven, so Bonaparte needed to preserve his strength, so Bonaparte He chose to besiege instead of attacking, hoping to be defeated without fighting.

   Anyway, the food and grass are all provided by Louis, and now he can take the opportunity to consume Louis's wealth.

   As a result, the three-way army has opened the siege mode.

   But during this period, Zhang Jingxu also asked Gugu to bring a letter to Liu Xing and others, and told Liu Xing and others to pay attention to safety, because Zhang Jingxu also heard that some people wanted to be detrimental to Liu Xing and others.

After watching Gugu fly in the direction of Yin En and Zhang Wenbing, Liu Xing looked at a hill in the distance and said, "I used to think that those jokes were exaggerated, but now I realize that the imagination of those jokers is not enough. "

Ding Kun nodded and said: "After all, we have 30,000 horses here, and the amount of excrement produced every day is not a small amount, and there are only a few rivers nearby, and we have to get water from those rivers. So the excrement can only be piled up in one place, but to be honest, I didn't expect it to pile up so fast and so high."

   Yes, that hill is a veritable mountain of dung.

At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly thought of one thing, "By the way, Brother Ding, I remember that in ancient times, in order to eliminate the city wall advantage of the defending side, the most common thing they did was beside the city wall. Build a mountain of dirt, and when the height of the dirt mountain is higher than the city wall, the archers of the attacking side can in turn suppress the defenders on the city wall."

  Ding Kun raised his brows and said with a smile, "Yeah, this is indeed a good idea. Anyway, the 30,000 army is idle, so it's better to build a mountain of dirt."

   Liu Xing and Ding Kun, who had reached a consensus, went straight to find Wellington, and said the idea of ​​mounding the earth.

  Wellington patted his thigh and said happily: "Yes, as long as we can build a ten-meter-high dirt mountain, we can directly suppress the city wall of Bolin City, and then we can send troops to the city wall!"

  Wellington is also an actionist, Lima went to Liu Xing and Ding Kun, and left the camp with a team of his own soldiers, ready to circle Bolin City, so as to determine where to pile up the mound.

   But before Liu Xing and others turned around, they saw a group of rebel cavalry leaving the fortifications and coming towards them.

Wellington frowned, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to enter a fighting state, while Liu Xing and Ding Kun consciously took two steps back, because although Liu Xing and Ding Kun were both able to ride horses now, if Liu Xing and Ding Kun are still the five scumbags in the horse battle.

   Soon, the group of rebel cavalry stopped 100 meters away and confronted Liu Xing and others across the air, neither side giving in an inch.

Although the number of the rebel cavalry was three or four times larger than that of Liu Xing, Liu Xing's side was all Wellington's personal soldiers, and their personal qualities and equipment completely overwhelmed the rebel cavalry. Therefore, the leader of the rebel cavalry did not dare to launch an attack at will.

   Just when Liu Xing was planning to suggest to Wellington to take a step back in order to avoid accidental injury to himself, the leader of the rebel cavalry suddenly came out of the main force with a few cronies.

   After the leader of the rebel cavalry approached, Liu Xing discovered that the leader of the rebel cavalry was actually a woman.

   More importantly, she looks exactly like Tian Qing!

   Liu Xing felt that his mentality had collapsed.
