Chapter 113: The Coalition's Plan
In the previous battle with the Black Silver Cottage, the sword and shield soldiers of the rogues were able to restrain the arrows fired by the defenders of King Kong Town, causing a lot of trouble.
Li Fei felt that King Kong Town, as the gateway to Feitian Town, was the first to bear the brunt of attacks, and the player forces often had but the rogue forces did not often have them, and the most attacks faced were from the players. However, the player's overall strength is not as good as that of the Rogues, and in the case of a general fourth-order soldier, the use of a round shield can still resist the arrows shot by the seventh-order archers, which may be shot through, but will not hurt the person behind the shield.
The king-level blacksmith in Feitian Town is almost the most dominable king-level profession, and the 100 steels it produces, excluding the materials required for some steel guns and full-body armor, still have a lot of leftovers that can be used to use these 100 steels in other aspects. Li Fei specifically consulted a king-level carpenter if he could improve the attributes of the arrows under the premise that the bow would remain unchanged. The king-level carpenter gave a good plan, which was to use 100 steels to make arrowheads, which could easily shoot through round shields or even higher-level shields when they were strong and sharp enough and heavy enough, but this side effect was that the arrows would sag seriously and the range would be slightly reduced.
After Li Fei personally found someone to test it, he found that the improved arrows were indeed as the king-level carpenter said, the penetration power was greatly enhanced, but the range would be reduced by 10% compared to the original. Since most of the bows are from Liu Hua's hands, his divine bow specialty can increase the range by 10%, and the range of the bow remains the same back and forth. However, most of the archers in King Kong Town are seventh-order soldiers, and the range of using the Divine Arm Bow is already very long, so it doesn't hurt if you don't have that bonus.
Although the round shield is the equipment of a fourth-order soldier, it is a first-level shield, but it can only be crafted by an intermediate blacksmith. There are at most one or two middle-level blacksmiths in the territory of the Hailing County Guild that are gathered, although there are super forces behind them, but the number of sword and shield soldiers that can be formed is not much, and there are less than 10,000 people.
There were 3,000 sword and shield soldiers in the vanguard, and they heard that the defenders of King Kong Town had a high-ranking archer, and the bows and tools equipped were also very high-level, so they deliberately took precautions, and added a layer of animal skin to the shield, thinking that they could survive smoothly. But under the special arrows, their proud shields were shot through like papier-mâché, and many unlucky people were shot directly by the piercing arrows, losing their lives.
Looking at the frustrated vanguard troops, Xingheng Broken Moon was very distressed, in order to form a vanguard force full of sword and shield soldiers, it can be said that it took a few super guilds to put some effort, but in terms of equipment, it is good in the coalition army. At the same time, with the protection of the shield, as long as you get close to the defenders of King Kong Town, the possibility of being injured by bows and arrows is much smaller. You must know that the vanguard unit does not necessarily have the highest mortality rate, because in order to prevent the arrow from missing, the archers generally try to shoot into the middle army, but the troops behind them will be in an awkward position and are more likely to be shot.
"Two teams, three teams, keep up. Four teams of five, get ready. "Xingheng Broken Moon methodically directs the coalition attack.
"Eighth-order spearman, ready to meet the enemy." A few days ago, Li Fei used to let the sword and shield soldiers fight the sword and shield soldiers, and in order to prevent falling into the other party's calculations, he decided to use other methods.
The shield of the heavy shield soldier in front of the defender is rotated 90 degrees, and the two heavy shield soldiers stand together, leaving a space for the spearmen to go out. The first thing the player pays attention to is not the people, but the first point of steel spear that sticks out of it, and the cold and glistening head of the spear makes people feel a chill on this hot day.
When the first batch of spearmen came out, the charging players were stunned as they advanced, could they deal with this spearman with a two- or three-meter-long point steel spear and a full-body armor? Looking at your equipment again, it seems that the most valuable thing is this shield, but it may be scrapped in one or two clicks under the point steel gun, how can this be fought?
The distance of more than a hundred meters was in the blink of an eye, and when the sword and shield soldiers and the spearmen were fifty meters apart, the spearmen began to charge, and the uniform movements, the sharp spears greeted them in unison. Some players are scared before they even fight, as if they have a knife in their hand and someone is pointing a submachine gun at you, trying to get out of here.
But none of them became deserters in the end, not because they were not afraid of death, on the contrary, because they could be resurrected after death, and if they were deserters, the end would be even worse.
"Die!"
From a distance, it looked like a group of scattered sword and shield soldiers holding iron knives high against a group of well-armed spearmen, and not surprisingly, the spearmen won the battle.
Xingheng Broken Moon's face became very unsightly, the last time 50,000 people came to attack King Kong Town, Li Fei sent a lot of sword and shield soldiers to meet it. This sword and shield soldier with both offense and defense will have a lot of advantages when encountering soldiers who are lower than their own rank, not to mention two or three ranks behind, they are simply invincible. Therefore, Xingheng Broken Moon made a lot of preparations in order to deal with the sword and shield soldiers in King Kong Town, but before he could use it, he was killed by the spearmen of the defenders.
"It's full body armor! It seems that there are a lot of king-level professions in Feitian Town. Tianxiang's eyes narrowed, staring at the spearmen in front of him.
Full-body armor is the easiest to see, and as the name suggests, armor that can cover most of the body. The woman from the Seraphic Guild also had her eyes shining, and she said excitedly: "It is rumored that the whole body armor needs to be made of a hundred steels, doesn't that mean that there are also king-level blacksmiths in Feitian Town?" This light feather in the sky is hidden quite deeply, but it doesn't matter, the deeper the better, and it will be ours soon. ”
These dozen or so players are just important figures in the guild, but they have not yet reached the status of knowing the top-secret information, and many people don't know the information received by Yijian Mei, so they will feel incredible when they see the equipment of the spearmen.
"That's not all. You think, since you can equip the whole body armor, then these spearmen are eighth-order soldiers. Xingheng Xuanyue shook his head and sighed: "Eighth-order soldiers, that is almost a soldier who has a chance to become an NPC with A qualification, I believe that the NPCs with A qualification in all guilds are all treasures, how can they be used as soldiers?" But the defenders of King Kong Town sent so many eighth-order soldiers in the first wave, and I think they still have a lot of back-up moves. ”
The words of Xingheng and the moon have attracted the attention of many people, you must know that even if a B-qualified NPC does not use the skill book, it is almost impossible to become an eighth-order soldier, and the probability is extremely low. If you use a skill book, then the high-level skill book and the special skill book can only be exploded on the corresponding seventh-order soldiers and eighth-order soldiers, and at this stage, no one's territory has a humanoid monster of seventh- and eighth-order soldiers, and even if there is, the explosion rate is not high.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since there are so many secrets in the territory of the Sky Light Feather, we should not leave any spare strength, I hope everyone will work together to successfully take Feitian Town." Xingheng Broken Moon encouraged.
Everyone agreed, as long as they could take Feitian Town, these guilds in Hailing County would earn dozens or a hundred A-qualified NPCs, and those super guilds with huge investment would definitely make a lot of money. Thinking of this, the president of the Hailing County Guild or something was frantically urging his subordinates to make more efforts in the team's voice.
Xingheng Xuanyue heard that everyone was already discussing the matter of "sharing the spoils", and sneered in his heart, as for the defenders sent out by King Kong Town to meet them, they may not have absolute certainty, not to mention that there are two defenders of the city and the base camp behind King Kong Town, how many troops there are are still unknown. He has always been reluctant to advise Yi Jianmei to act before the mainstream players have not advanced to the fifth order, and the difference in the rank of the soldier is too large and the numerical advantage will become small.
But he was very supportive of taking Feitian Town, not to get any resources, but to occupy this territory. The strength shown by King Kong Town today is enough to make him believe that no matter what the price is, he will take Feitian Town.
While they were discussing, the battlefield ahead suffered heavy casualties, and more than 10,000 people had died in less than half an hour after the battle began. On the other hand, on the side of the defenders of King Kong Town, several teams of spearmen took turns to fight, and if anyone was injured, someone would replace him from behind, and the death rate was almost zero.
One of the reasons for such a large casualty of the coalition forces is the huge disparity in the strength of the soldiers, the continuous long-range output of the seventh-order archers, and the killing of the eighth-order spearmen like a harvest. The other is the gap in equipment, all the equipment on the player's body will be scrapped immediately after encountering a steel gun, while their iron sword and iron gun cannot hurt the soldiers in the armor of the whole body, at most leaving a trace on the armor.
"Go on, I don't believe that they are all made of iron, and I will consume them to death." Xingheng Broken Moon was a little unable to sit still after receiving the battle report, so he could only send cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of the defenders first, and then send his hole cards to fight, only in this way could he win.
"Tianxiang, what's the situation on the other side?" Xingheng Broken Moon asked.
"According to the news I just received, they appeared on the other side of King Kong Town and headed towards that entrance at full speed, and they will be there in about half an hour."
The think tanks of several super guilds did not recommend relying entirely on fighting the front, but at the same time sent a force around the rear to enter. According to the information fed back by the Firebird of the Domination Guild, there is a road that is several miles long behind King Kong Town, and only by entering it can you find the location of Feitian Town.
As for why the two sides didn't carry out a sneak attack from behind, because the location of the battle was actually not far from King Kong Town, if the siege was not arrived in time by the reinforcements in King Kong Town, they might be caught off guard. And they didn't know the special attributes of King Kong Town, they just thought it was an ordinary town, and it was useless to occupy it, so they didn't take it into account.
