Chapter 381: Buffer
It was late at night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Asuna fell asleep in Chen Xiao's arms, two red glows appeared on her fair and clean face, but her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled into the shape of a moon, Chen Xiao took out the cloak in her storage space and covered her tightly, after a day of desperate fighting, she was too tired.
For her unexpected generosity, as well as that question, Chen Xiao is still like a dream, but he knows in his heart that it was definitely not his evasive answer that moved her, but as Lizzebet said, what Asuna who is strong on the surface may lack the most is a sense of security......
"Probationary boyfriend?" The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth rose slightly, although it was a good start, it was not difficult to imagine how they would give themselves a headache in the academy after rescuing their sons in the future.
Without thinking about it anymore, he cast his eyes on the vast moat plain under the city wall, where the armies of the two sides had disappeared during the day, leaving a bloody layer of corpses that covered the entire land, and the dense broken wall remnants spread to the sky, and even the system had no time to refresh it.
In the distance, a line of black shadows and metal reflections appeared, and the outline grew larger and larger, and it was clear that it was countless orcs and monsters, released from the frozen camp, like locusts devouring the earth, covering the snowy plains.
Chen Xiao's heart was shocked: he had just inflicted such a heavy blow on the enemy during the day, and in less than a few hours, the enemy's fresh force team was ready to attack again. It's terrifying to fight an enemy with such incredible resilience, and they have almost endless backups.
And today's fierce battle in less than twenty-four hours during the day has almost exhausted all the resources on the city wall, and now the defensive tools such as bows and arrows, rolling stones and hot oil have almost all been exhausted, although a large number of support in the city of Grumham has come, and the gold coins can continue to be purchased, but they can't go out to farm monsters, and everyone's gold coins will always run out one day.
But fortunately, there is good news, that is, after fighting with these assimilated monsters, not only ordinary players, but even Chen Xiao and others have gained a lot of experience points, and their abilities have been improved in a short period of time.
"Great love always sprouts in great wars, and I hope I don't bother you." A calm male voice sounded out of place behind him.
Asuna was awakened and turned her head sleepily, only to see that it was Heathcliff and several of his knights.
"Yikes! Hope...... Captain Heathcliff! Asuna was like a frightened rabbit, and hurriedly jumped out of Chen Xiao's arms, her cheeks were crimson and she didn't forget to glance at Chen Xiao, but it was extraordinarily charming, which made the few young men behind Heathcliff stunned and envious of Chen Xiao even more.
"Why doesn't Captain Heathcliff take a little rest? The enemy has also been fighting for a day, and it should not be attacked for a while, and we are still on the city wall......" Asuna straightened her sideburns and regained her calmness.
"The army outside the city is pressing, like a knife hanging from the neck, how can you sleep peacefully." Heathcliff smiled bitterly, then leaned his hands on the wall and looked down.
All the way the orc warriors marched forward with torches, but they did not plan to attack the city immediately, but stopped less than a thousand meters from the city and began to tinkle something.
After a while, they all understood: the enemy was setting up fences and tripping ropes specifically for cavalry players, and there were orcs buried in the ground, and some players behind them guessed that they were loading ground thorns, which were small things with sharp protrusions, which were also used against cavalry.
Behind the orcs, a large group of giant elephant-like monsters appeared, and they stretched out their trunks from the forest, rolled up a few thick pine trunks with two people, and then placed them on the ground, and handed them over to the ingenious elves to make giant shields, ladders, and other siege equipment according to the drawings designed by those big two fortresses......
In this harsh winter, this is really a very laborious thing, the elven girls' hands are frozen and cracked, but they are still repeating the movements of their hands with blank eyes.
"Compared with the frenzy and chaos of the day, the enemy army now appears calm and orderly, and the division of labor and cooperation in batches is orderly and efficient. Presumably they were a change of commander. Chen Xiao said a little heavily.
The stupid method of winning with crowd tactics in the morning is indeed not like that can be used by someone like Pingjiang, who seems to be extremely smart, and that thoughtful meat ball girl, once they carefully arrange their tactics, I am afraid that tomorrow will be a bitter battle.
Guessing his thoughts, the knight behind Heathcliff comforted him and said: "Deputy Commander Chen Xiao, there is nothing to be sad about, fight one is enough, fight two to earn, we have earned enough today!" ”
"That's it," said the other knight with a smile, "in the words of our boss, the cost has been recovered, and now every money that has been collected is pure profit, and it is after tax!" ”
Everyone laughed, diluting the slightly tense atmosphere......
Chen Xiao's feeling was right.
After a day of fierce battles, Pingjiang also understood that the strength of the defense of Gransom City was different from the puppet monsters without thoughts, although humans would be painful, weak, and afraid, but once they did a death match for trapped beasts, the combat power that erupted would be very terrifying.
Determined to switch to a steady approach, he ordered the orcs and monster troops to start digging trenches and building fortifications to prevent the enemies in the city from attacking as they did during the day, blocking the attack route and ensuring that his side was invincible.
"Tang Yi, how are you preparing over there?" Pingjiang and the meat ball girl stood at the exit of the camp of the frozen forest, looking at the stars on the city wall in the distance, and asked gently.
"I don't have a problem here, you just have to wait." The meat ball girl pointed to the brightly lit Pai City and smiled at Pingjiang: "And you are in charge, isn't it?" ”
"I'm not omnipotent." Pingjiang didn't show too much joy because of her praise, "Although I didn't participate in this battle today, if I were to command, it would be very likely that I would use the same tactics as Tian Lu at first...... The other party's command is too good, although we have tens of thousands of troops, but we lack generals! ”
Whether it is an accurate grasp of the overall situation, a keen sense of the monster's flaws and the ability to quickly mobilize forces to create local advantages, create chaos and then take advantage of the opportunity to expand......
These are the reasons for today's defeat.
"Actually......" The meat ball girl also sighed, then looked at Pingjiang with some hesitation and asked, "You are a dignified alchemist, do we have to be enemies of Chen Xiao?" Monroe, and the Ministry of Shadows, they shouldn't dare to ......"
"You don't understand." Pingjiang shook his head, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, and cast his eyes into the distance.
