Chapter one hundred and fortieth, weather effects
It was still raining heavily in the sky. Outside the camp of the Mingjing tribe, a strong cry of killing broke the silence of the rainy day. A group of warriors wearing leather armor and using stone spears and stone axes as weapons stepped on the muddy ground.
Pushing the siege vehicle in front of him, he launched a charge towards the gate of the Mingjing Tribe!
Within the ancient city wall, under Zhao Pan's calm command, the slingers were divided into three groups and continuously launched three-stage stone bombardments against the invaders who rushed outside the city wall. This powerful defensive force
The oppression it brings is enough to make people despair.
"Charge the entire army!!" The player leading this unit yelled crazily, "As long as we charge within thirty meters, those slingers will not be able to hit us! Everyone, charge!!"
However, the weather did not go as planned. The exaggerated high-frequency stone bombardment of the slingers already made people feel desperate. However, the season of this world happened to have entered the rainy season. At that time, only a "clang" was heard.
The player was suddenly startled. Before he could confirm it in person, the anxious and panic-stricken voices of his soldiers already sounded in his ears, "Chief, leader! The wheels of the siege vehicle are stuck in the mud!"
When the players heard this, their eyes went dark. In ancient times, once the uneven ground entered the rainy season, it became pitted due to long-term rain. For invading players who need to transport siege equipment,
It is said that it is simply a natural trap area!
"The shield and ax soldiers formed a defensive formation to cover! The spear soldiers quickly pushed the siege vehicle out of the mud pit!!" In this situation, what else can you do except push?
Zhao Pan, who also saw this scene and knew that something had happened to the intruder, had a flash of joy in his eyes. He made a big move and quickly issued an order with his calm voice, "Shift the attack angle thirty degrees to the left.
!Everyone is ready to throw stones, let go!!”
With one order, unlike the three-stage stone bomb throwing before, in order to destroy the siege vehicles on the opposite side in one go, he directly ordered all the stone bombs to be thrown this time. In an instant, under Zhao Pan's instructions, a large area of
The stone bullets mixed with the splashing rain crazily hit the location of the opponent's siege vehicle. This scene made the players on the invading side tremble with fear, "Defend with shields! Hurry! Everyone raise shields to defend! Protect the siege vehicles."
!”
It was too late, but it was too late. By the time the player gave the order, it was already too late. Heavy round stone bullets were smashed down crazily. The slingers' sudden round of throwing increased the number of stones.
The destructive power is more than doubled? How can a thin wooden shield be able to withstand it? The entire defensive formation collapsed instantly, and then the second round of all-throwing was quickly followed and directly bombarded the rear, desperately pushing the siege.
The spearmen of the car!
Cruel blood flowers mixed with screams kept blooming in the pouring rain. The outcome of this battle was already decided at this moment. Luo Ji never expected that it would make him uncomfortable.
During the rainy season, at this moment, it actually became a big help for them in the battle to defend the city. At the same time, what he didn't expect was that in this battle to defend the city, he discovered another advantage of the slingers! That was that they were not very
Easily affected by weather!
In the past strategy war games, few games have added weather systems. Even if they are added, it is often just a symbolic meaning and will not have any particularly obvious impact. After all, this kind of thing is impossible to appear in ordinary games.
The rain made the roads muddy, and eventually the wheels of the siege equipment accidentally got stuck in the mud and couldn't be pushed out.
This caused Luo Ji to ignore this point before. It was not until this battle that the slingers made him clearly aware of this weather problem through their outstanding performance.
In a real war, it is all about the right time, right place and right people! What does the right time mean? To put it simply, it is the natural climate, that is, the weather!
The weather has a great impact on a battle. For example, in this battle, Luo Ji's archer troops were also there, but they were in trouble almost the whole time. The reason is very simple, because the heavy rain had a real impact on them.
It's too big. The first thing that affects it is the field of vision, and the second thing that affects it is the arrow that is shot out. The weight of an arrow is not heavy. Rain keeps dripping on the arrow that flies out. It turns out that
The well-aimed shooting trajectory suddenly shifted, directly taking away the archers' biggest advantage, which is accuracy!
On the other hand, the slingers, the heavy stone bullets don't care about the few drops of rain, and the attack trajectory and power are hardly affected. It has to be said that the skimming stone bullets are too heavy, resulting in too weak maneuverability, and are only suitable for city defense battles.
Not to mention its weaknesses, as a long-range unit from ancient times, this slinger has really strong adaptability!
At this time, Luo Ji couldn't help but admire himself even more for having decisively spent one million civilization points to download the 'Gold-Level Slinger Mastery' skill book in seconds. His decision at that moment was so wise!
At the same time, in this city defense battle, he was extremely satisfied with Zhao Pan's performance. That's right, in the entire city defense battle just now, Luo Ji did almost nothing. Zhao Pan was there the whole time.
He commanded the slingers under his command to attack, and it turned out that he was truly the general who did not need to worry about the least in the entire tribe. Under his command, the intruders were ruthlessly defeated by him before they could get within thirty meters.
Already.
"Clan leader, do you want to send a team of shield and ax soldiers to pursue?" Zhao Pan, who remained calm as he looked at the fleeing intruders, asked Luo Ji for instructions in a calm tone.
After hearing this, Luo Ji did not answer directly, but asked Zhao Pan, "What do you think? Do you want to pursue me?"
"My subordinates believe that we should not pursue him." Faced with Luo Ji's rhetorical question, Zhao Pan answered very simply.
"Oh?" Luo Ji raised his eyebrows, and the slight curve of the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at the moment, "What's the reason? Why shouldn't we pursue?"
"The first is the weather. Standing inside the city, as the defenders, the impact of the heavy rain on us is naturally limited. It is our advantage as the defenders, but once we go out of the city to pursue, this advantage will be gone."
"The second is the situation of the invaders. Although the enemy retreated, they seemed to be defeated when they retreated, but in fact they were not panicked. They even did not forget to push the siege truck away. This shows that they actually still have a chance to fight.
Strength, maybe this is the opponent's plan to lure us out of the city to pursue them. Once our troops catch up, they may be ambushed by the opponent as soon as they enter the woods."
Having said this, Zhao Pan paused, then glanced at Luo Yong and Guo Zhen, who were looking depressed, and then spoke again, "Of course, with the strength of Guo Zhen and Luo Yong, even if they are ambushed, they will be able to do it easily."
Defeat the enemy, but during this period, the soldiers under your command will inevitably suffer casualties, so it is really not necessary."
