Chapter 742 Prepare to siege the city
(ps: Yesterday's chapter name was wrong, Sang, the seventy-fourth is directly behind the seventy-five, Liu Xia Xiu was funny.)
Wang Xiaofeng once said that the other party would shoot reinforcements in the city, but the number would not be too large. This was not a random talk, so naturally there was a basis for his judgment. When the north side of the island turned into a battlefield, and more than 100,000 soldiers of the light broke through two lines of defense and annihilated 50,000 or 60,000 enemies, only 20,000 to 30,000 troops were sent to supplement the third line of defense in the city in the middle of the island.
Keith's cavalry team once again penetrated the enemy's rear, exchanging the casualties of thousands of knights for chaos in the formation behind the enemy's rear. This will minimize casualties of the cavalry army that charges head-on, which is still relatively cost-effective overall.
Wang Xiaofeng was a little depressed, but it was the demon servant legion in other directions. As they advanced step by step on the north side, the legion in other directions did not move at all, and each defended its own area.
Perhaps this is the legendary wise vision of grasping the overall situation, or the only task given to these demon servants by the system is to defend the city. The outside legions are only consuming some of the troops of the Light Legion. Besides, the total number of troops sent by the Holy See of Light is only 500,000. If the opponent pulls all the troops to fight to the decisive battle, then the situation of NPC and players is worrying.
Although the north front is not moving slowly, it is far from the speed of the west front.
The role players can play in war is undeniably huge, fearless and numerous, and the team fights to kill monsters to obtain experience points and equipment, and surround and kill elite monsters every minute.
Under the command of Li Sanmo, all the NPC legion had to do was to tear a hole in front of the attack, and the rest was long-range support from the player army and the NPC legion. And the most amazing thing was that players who fought with small teams would not suffer a large number of casualties, and even if there were casualties, they could be recovered in time. Of course, these were just the battle situations of the Tiandihui and several other large guilds that obeyed orders. In the melee, the casual players were also injured and injured due to unfavorable dispatch.
So, when the lives of more than 30,000 soldiers of light were paid, and the players were not damaged much and they were constantly coming, a problem was on Wang Xiaofeng who was flying around in the sky.
Should the demon servants on the other sides be destroyed or attacked directly?
The players' army was the first to arrive under the city, but looking at the city walls more than ten meters high and the dense mages and archers on them, the players decisively stopped thousands of people and died in a daze.
"Boss, the city gates on all sides are closed."
"Well, I can see it." Wang Xiaofeng thought for a moment, and then ordered all parties, "Let's destroy these demon servants on the island first. I don't know when they will be refreshed. If they are refreshed, we can move to the surrounding area so that we will not be attacked from both sides."
So the army set out and pounced on both sides at the edge of the city. The players of the Tiandihui Association followed the NPC legion in two groups. Since the NPC infantry regiment did not have mounts and the players were equipped with mounts, although the formation was more chaotic, the players would not drag them down.
At this time, we can see that the number of scattered players is huge. After completing the guidance task, more and more players are rushing towards the system boat. They gradually gather on the west side of the central city of Island No. 1, with an astonishing number of 400,000.
"Boss, do you think these guys can really take it down?" Li Sanmo seemed to be complaining about his bad habits again.
"It's difficult to get close, how can I take it down?" Wang Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The real battle is here, and some troops will be killed or injured. We don't have any siege equipment."
"Can you move some of the magic crystal cannons on the ship?" Wu Jing Demon Saint said that he was counting his honor values leisurely now. His commander identity was defaulted by the system. Even if he didn't attack himself, he would have a certain honor value returned to him. Not only the gunners on the same ship can get honor values. Everyone gets equal points, and it is not rich.
"Are there any mobile turrets?" Wang Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. "Let the magic engineering try it. Can you create some mobile turrets and artillery mounts? This city is too high, and the defenders inside are not made of mud. If you attack hard, you have to fight all these troops."
"Okay, I'll let them start doing it now. It shouldn't be difficult. If the cannon stand is not made, can the small cart stumps each brick master?"
"Then we will deal with the monsters on the east and south sides today. Let's take a long rest and attack the city tomorrow." Wang Xiaofeng immediately ordered and then suggested: "Can you press fixed wheels for those magic crystal cannons, so that they can be unloaded at any time on land and on ships."
Li Sanmo nodded: "I'll see there's a show."
The NPC Legion and Tiandihui took the detour to both sides, and some scattered players followed behind, but most of them still observed the strong walls of the high city and were ready to move.
Yes, it's just about to move.
Finally, the first wave of attacks was born under the organization of an unknown small guild. Tens of thousands of players rushed to the city gate one after another, allowing the attacks on the city wall to spread, thinking that they could rush to the dead corner of the other party's city gate before the death, and then let themselves attack the city gate leisurely and get rid of the durability of the city gate.
But unfortunately, tens of thousands of people rushed for only more than 30 meters and were directly destroyed by tens of thousands of archers and tens of thousands of mages on the city wall.
I thought these were the soft persimmons defended by the player's territory? One by one, one by one, one by one, and the archer attacked critical strikes without even discussing the situation…
"When we attack tomorrow, we can have some Holy Light Knights stuck behind Shield War, and add blood and invincibility to them." Wu Jing Demon Saint looked at the players who were killed and injured in the forum video. He would not say that he was the behind-the-scenes driver of this attack pilot. "I just watched it. A shield war can last within a range of fifty meters. If fourteen or five shield wars stuck under the opponent's city gate, they would not be attacked by the opponent."
The god descended to earth and immediately refuted: "What if the city gate is opened or there is a specific position on the city wall that can be hit?"
"I'll forget it, the angle of the dead corner is just right," Li Sanmo raised his glasses. Although he was marching urgently, no one noticed this iconic action. "And the city gate is a hanging and lowered design, and this design cannot expose a slit to rush out a few people."
"But it's easy to close, it's only for a moment."
"You can try it tonight. If it doesn't work, it will be a head-on attack tomorrow."
"Try it." Wang Xiaofeng nodded and agreed, and then caused more than 100,000 casual players to be killed and injured.
Li Sanmo said that it should not be too simple to incite these casual players to charge in battle, and there are too many guilds that want to become famous for advertising in this world-renowned battle. If someone sends people to tease a few words and tells a seemingly feasible method, some people can't help but want to take the lead in making military achievements.
If you capture the city gate, there will be a systematic announcement that your guild has captured the city or something, then you will not be afraid of the publicity effect even if you die.
This is a major selling point for the bloody guild, a guild recruitment.
However, the experiment failed decisively, and the failure was beyond replenishment. Many people have thought about what would happen inside the city gate, but they never thought that hundreds of baskets would be placed on the city wall and transported some demon servants to destroy the players' sacrifices.
The battle between players and the system continues, and the consultation work on the east and south sides also declares victory.
At this time, Wang Xiaofeng was at a natural deep-water port on the north side, watching group of players building simple docks, creating mountains and stones, and paving the roads.
At this time, dozens of standard warships were parked on the side, and figures were busy on the deck of the warships.
As Li Sanmo once said, it may be difficult to make precision turrets, but it is still quite convenient to make simple turrets. But how can the masters of magic engineering really make simple turrets in front of the president? They use the two-wheeled turret frame to make horse-drawn cannon frames, and two horses can pull the magic crystal cannon to move forward quickly.
This made a comrade find the feeling of Emperor Napoleon...
A mount with adjustable muzzle height is made on the frame, which solves the most basic precision problem. The total number of iron wood consumed by these iron wood tanks is equivalent to the number of iron wood consumed by five iron wood warships, and installation and dismantling require pure manpower.
The living system of the Tiandihui at this time has been established quite large. The frame of the five hundred horse-drawn cannons took six hours to be completed. And the remaining midnight was to pull these magic crystal cannons to the front line of the city.
