The next step is the fifth level. For this level, Lu Ping must dispatch soldiers. 320,000 defenders is not a small number.
But this did not pose a problem for Lu Ping. There was no time limit for the task anyway, so he could just nibble away at it bit by bit.
In the end, it took Lu Ping four days to completely destroy the city walls, and then Lu Ping commanded the archers to launch intensive shooting at the city.
Lu Ping's move was quite ruthless. Without the protection of the city walls, the enemy troops were completely sitting ducks.
Of course, the enemy would also shoot arrows in retaliation, but they could not resist the fact that Lu Ping's army could move freely outside the city, while the range inside the city was limited.
In addition, Lu Ping also brought Li Si and others this time, and most of the enemy's arrows were blocked by Li Si and others using their military skills.
After much persuasion, Lu Ping successfully passed the fifth level.
The fifth level is a hurdle. If you fail to defeat Lu Ping, you will be eliminated by the system.
The garrison at the Sixth Pass had 640,000 men, and the city was even more fortified.
However, Lu Ping's method in the fifth level still worked.
In the end, Lu Ping spent eleven days to pass the sixth level.
At the seventh level, Lu Ping could only attack by force, because there were more soldiers and the city was bigger, and arrows alone would not be effective.
In the end, Lu Ping took eight days to capture the seventh level, and Lu Ping also lost 30,000 soldiers at this level.
The eighth level has a military force of 1.28 million and the city is even larger.
Lu Ping lost 90,000 soldiers and it took him eleven days to capture it.
This result also made Lu Ping realize that he could only pass the ninth level in this mission, and it was impossible to conquer the last level.
But this result is already good. If I can win the ninth level, I should be the first.
In this case, it doesn’t matter whether you pass the tenth level or not.
So Lu Ping continued to attack the ninth level.
The enemy's strength at the ninth level is 2.56 million, while Lu Ping's strength is less than 400,000. If he wants to win, he can only rely on grinding them down bit by bit.
In the following days, Lu Ping only sent his generals to attack every day, using their skills to repeatedly attack the city walls.
This cycle repeated itself for five days, and Lu Ping took him five days to demolish the city wall, and then another ten days to capture the ninth level.
In this battle, Lu Ping lost 180,000 soldiers, but Lu Ping's goal had been achieved.
The last level is no longer within Lu Ping's consideration.
With five million defenders, Lu Ping really couldn't think of any possibility of winning.
"System, exit the mission."
After completing the set goal, Lu Ping immediately withdrew from the mission.
"Ding! Congratulations on passing the ninth level. Please confirm to exit the mission."
"Confirm exit."
"Ding, exit successful."
"System prompt: Since the mission has not yet ended, the relevant ranking has not yet been determined."
The system prompt sounded and Lu Ping exited the copy.
"Huh, it's finally over."
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
This mission lasted nearly three months, and it really exhausted Lu Ping.
After a short rest, Lu Ping sent messages to Xia Mo and others, but in the end he only received replies from Tang Fang and Lu Yi. There was no news from Xia Mo and Tang Qi.
No news is good news, which means they are still continuing their mission.
Lu Ping was a little excited, hoping that Xia Mo and Tang Qi could also overcome the ninth level.
As for Lu Yi and Tang Fang, they both passed the eighth level. This result was already quite good, far exceeding Lu Ping's expectations. It seemed that their ranking would not be too low.
After three days of anxious waiting, Tang Qi returned first, and as expected, she also conquered the ninth level.
Xia Mo returned two days later. Although it took her a long time, she managed to conquer the ninth level as she wished.
At this point, Lu Ping's mission goal has been achieved.
Next, we will wait for the task to be completed and see the specific ranking.
However, Lu Ping was not worried, because according to the news from the military, no one except Lu Ping and the other two had conquered the ninth level so far.
Even if someone conquers the ninth level later, they will be ranked behind Lu Ping and the other two due to the order of time, so it is a foregone conclusion that they will be in the top three.
Of course, this is the ranking of the third level of the International Battlefield. The rankings of the second, third and fourth levels of this mission will be calculated separately.
............
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days passed, and the copy mission was finally completed.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player who won first place. The reward is 100,000 Merits, 20,000,000 Reputation, and a 50% increase in the upper limit of troops and generals."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player who won second place. The reward is 80,000 Merits, 15,000,000 Reputation, and a 40% increase in the upper limit of troops and generals."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for winning third place. The reward is 50,000 Merits, 12,000,000 Reputation, and a 30% increase in the upper limit of troops and generals."
As the system voice continued to ring, Lu Ping and the other two received system rewards.
"Hubby, why is the reward so small?"
Hearing about the system reward, Xia Mo asked in surprise. It was obvious that Xia Mo was not very satisfied with the system reward.
"Yeah, there's no food? No gift packs either? The system is too stingy." Tang Qi on the side also complained.
"Haha, you two should just be content."
"Compared to food and various gift packages, I still value merit more."
"And the system has also increased the upper limit of our generals and troops. Isn't this what we need most?" Lu Ping said with a smile
"Well, my husband is right. This way, your military strength limit will reach 1.8 million, and your general limit will also reach 900."
"Tang Qi and I are not bad either. Our military strength and the upper limit of our generals have increased. This way we will be more confident in attacking the provincial capital." Xia Mo nodded.
"Yes, what we lack most now is manpower. Now the problem has been solved."
"Next, we just need to help Tang Fang and Xiaoyi capture the county town, and then we will have more troops." Lu Ping said.
"By the way, we don't know Xiaoyi and Tangfang's grades yet, so you should ask them." Tang Qi suddenly said.
"good."
Lu Ping nodded and immediately contacted Lu Yi and Tang Fang.
As expected, Lu Yi and the other person also made it into the top ten, ranking ninth and tenth respectively.
The rewards are the same, 20,000 merits, 8 million reputations, a 20% increase in the upper limit of troops, and a 20% increase in the upper limit of generals.
"That's good. We have concluded this perfectly." Lu Ping said happily after receiving the reply.
"Husband, this time it's all thanks to you. You are really our lucky star." Tang Fang said.
"Yes, husband, you are really our lucky man." Xia Mo also said.
"Haha, of course." Lu Ping said complacently.
"Oh, husband, I think we should go back quickly and gather our forces to help Tang Fang capture the county city first."
"Tang Qi, why don't you have a teleportation array? It's really troublesome to come to your place." Xia Mo said.
"I can't help it. I feel annoyed too." Tang Qi said distressedly.
"Okay, it's actually nothing. At worst, you can just stay at home more often when you have nothing to do. Anyway, with our current strength, no one dares to provoke us." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Yes, that's a good idea. We really don't need to stay on the battlefield of all nations all the time."
