The ladder climbed the wall, and the Union soldiers rushed up.

A large group of archers rushed to the city and opened fire with the defenders of the city, covering the arrival of their own soldiers.

Archers are not easy to train, even with the size and combat experience of the Zhulu army, the troops scattered in the three major bases are gathered together, and there are less than 2,000 qualified archers. The Alliance, which is made up of multiple player territories, may seem to be outnumbered, but in reality they are a mixed bag, and qualified archers are a rare breed. There are a lot of arrows flying up, but there are not too many that can shoot the battlements and the defense line of the city wall, but they rely on the large number of people to bully the defenders of Zhulu City and do not have too many troops to suppress the city, and temporarily maintain an active suppression posture.

The defenders of Zhulu City obviously will not sit idly by and watch the enemy army enter the city, with hundreds of tank battalions as the backbone, and the suspicious soldiers follow up and cooperate, opening the frame against the wall of each ladder, and waiting for the battle. Although the strength of the siege troops is far superior to that of the defenders, the three-level stone city wall is not so easy to attack, and the siege troops can only ascend the city through the temporary attack passage built by the siege equipment, and it is difficult to deploy the troops in large numbers, and the defenders occupy a geographical advantage and do not suffer a loss in fighting.

The Zhulu Territory has been repeatedly invaded by strong enemies, and as the strength of the territory continues to improve, the defense of the main position has never been slackened, and all the preparations should be there. The defenders smashed the large logs and stones that had been piled up under the city, and the limited number of archers stationed in the arrow towers and shot the enemy from a high position.

At the same time, more than a dozen cauldrons were erected in the city.

The flames under the pot were raging, and more than 100 young and strong villagers who responded to the call for war took the risk and poured buckets of dung juice into the pot, and their own sergeants poured some pre-prepared medicinal powder into it, and soon a disgusting pungent smell filled the city. However, no one in the nearby sergeant cared about this, and when the gold juice in the big iron pot boiled, it was poured on the head of the besieging troops, and the torture suffered by the besieging troops was definitely much more sour than that of the defenders, and the burns were still secondary, and the skin ulcerated with a little stain on the body, and there was no way to heal it in this era.

Smelling the strange smell of the city, many of the Alliance soldiers turned white.

Gold juice is one of the most feared means of siege troops.

But now there is no other way than to attack with all their might, they can only hope to attack the city as soon as possible, everyone knows that there are many civilians in armor in the city, and they may not be able to withstand the bloody battles of hand-to-hand combat. Out of fear of the golden juice, without the urging of the military order, the attacking troops consciously strengthened the offensive, climbed the ladder with red eyes and climbed up, at least they died happily, and when the golden juice was put into the battlefield, the person who was recruited was really worse than dead.

I'd rather die than be drenched!

The alliance army is attacking fiercely, and the deer army can occupy a favorable position, and there are at least more than ten people waiting for each ladder to receive the city, and at least more soldiers nearby are ready to join the battle group at any time. Even if the soldiers of the Alliance Army who ascended the city finally rushed up, they were greeted by a brutal and inhumane siege, and the quality of the Zhulu Army was above that of the Alliance Army, and the scattered troops who ascended the city were not much different from sending them to death, and they were usually flattened by the defenders in a short period of time, and then thrown down as a large wooden stone of more than 100 catties, contributing to the cause of defending the city.

Dozens of ladders to connect the city, the pressure on the defenders is not great, the geographical advantage + the outnumbered + quality advantage, enough for the defender of the city to easily crush the situation.

What made the alliance army even more speechless was that those suspicious soldiers in the city, led by hundreds of heavily armed foot soldiers, were actually fearless and fought vigorously. Whether it is throwing large wooden stones, hand-to-hand combat, chopping ladders, or using battlements to shoot at the archers under the city, the various operations are decent, and they do not look like civilians who have just entered the battlefield.

"Sister Xiao" muttered: "Strange, these civilians ......"

"Not civilians, mercenaries." The masked military general frowned.

As an excellent general, he knows very well that civilians who have not undergone professional training can never have the basic qualities to be able to fight when they first enter the battlefield, and it is so simple to fight? Combined with the combat performance of the suspicious soldiers, many details are different from the regular troops, and they are more like the usual path of mercenaries, and the identity of the other party is already coming out.

"Mercenaries? Damn it! ”

"Sister Xiao" also reacted at this time.

In the absence of Faction Missions, Campaigns, or Large System Missions, player forces cannot directly rely on the power of other player forces, including mercenary forces, to avoid situations that clearly violate the principle of fairness. But this is not an absolute one-sided cut, in the case of an attack on the territory, there is at least one way for the attacker to use some external force, that is, the player legion stationed in the territory, the so-called nest is incomplete, the legion is stationed in a certain territory, to some extent, the two sides become a community of destiny, the territory is destroyed, the garrison is destroyed, and the blow to the legion is very serious, so the attacked territory can accept the help of the garrison legion in any case.

For this reason, clans are generally welcome in player provinces.

It's just that the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and there are very few legions willing to enter the territory, and compared with the system city, the security of the player's territory is really incomparable. If there is no particular reason, such as personal friendship, location, or benefits, it is still the system city that is more reassuring to the clan.

The army of the world is stationed in the deer leader, and if the deer leader is attacked, the world will inevitably draw its sword to help.

The level 10 legion is the same as the first-level capital, and a maximum of 2,000 mercenaries can be hired to participate in the battle, so if necessary, the deer leader can break through the upper limit of mercenaries hired by a single player force, and more than 2,000 mercenaries can be called. Counting its own mercenary quota, there are up to 4,000 mercenaries available in the Chase Deer Territory. This does not include the Qinggu tribe, where vassal forces enjoy the benefits of the territory and also have to bear the responsibility of defending the territory.

Although there are economic reasons for the low level of the army for a long time, it is also a very important reason that the mercenary group that can be mobilized in battle exceeds that of ordinary territory. Although mercenaries can't enjoy the territory bonus, and their combat effectiveness is relatively inferior, they don't need the territory to bear the military expenses in peacetime.

Previously, the Avengers had received the news that the Deer Leader had hired the White Tiger to fight through the World Legion, and several affiliated territories of the Deer Leader had been besieged, and the mercenaries who should have rushed to the aid had not appeared so far, and the Alliance originally thought that the blockade was too tight, and the mercenaries did not dare to throw themselves into the net, and most of them gathered somewhere to wait for the opportunity. Now I know that the Zhulu Leader had already let the mercenaries enter the city before the main city was besieged, and deliberately staged a drama of sending villagers to the city as suspicious soldiers, so as to make a mystery and paralyze the Avengers.

Insidious......

It's wicked!

But then again, in the situation last night, instead of letting the mercenaries rush to the aid of the important dependent territories that were attacked, instead sending the few troops in the main city to the rescue, and then letting the mercenaries enter the main city to deal with a possible siege battle, what is the logic? No matter how you look at it, the decision-maker's mind seems to have a bag, right?

If the coach of the Zhulu Army is not Xu Shu, "Sister Xiao" will label the guy who made the decision as a "pig's head".

No one dares to despise a king-level strategist.

The alliance would rather think that Xu Shu had other plans that were difficult to see through, rather than think that he was dizzy in a hurry. It's not that the players are arrogant, the game background era players are not familiar with, the war and judgment of the cold weapon era, or the elite of this era knows best, there have been many events that prove the strength of historical figures.

Why did Xu Shu send out the main force, but put the mercenaries in the main city?

The alliance was puzzled.

Actually, it's not complicated.

Sending the main force to several important subordinate territories was Xu Shu's desire to weaken the enemy's vital forces as much as possible.

Judging from the information obtained at that time, the enemy came too much, although they were all 50-level troops, and there were no high-level troops, but the high-level troops that could be called high-level troops were the white soldiers and tank battalions, which added up to more than 1,700 people, and the level of the many rock battalions was the same as the enemy. Taking advantage of the enemy's ambush, it is imperative to earn as many people as possible on the battlefield of the dependent territories and try to close the gap in strength.

In the end, whether it was rescued by the troops or rescued by the mercenaries, Xu Shu decisively chose to dispatch the troops.

Due to the fact that Yu is unwise and does not have hope in the player's discipline, the Zhulu Leader has always been reluctant to accept the player's settlement, and is even more cautious about the entry of the legion. He entered the Zhulu Territory late, and the Dianjiang players were puzzled by the sudden addition of a local territory, and there were not many legions willing to enter the player's territory, and the Zhulu Territory was not attractive at that time; In addition, the way to become a lord is not humane for outsiders, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the initial foreign policy is basically closed to the country, and even the player is not happy to naturalize, let alone accept the legion to settle in.

The world is the only legion accepted by the deer leader.

At the beginning, he agreed to enter the world, firstly, because Yu Buzhi knew that the world would become a large legion, and secondly, the foundation for early cooperation was laid, and he was more recognized after contact with the core members of the legion such as Jiujiufa and Roar, and thirdly, from the perspective of development, the territory would inevitably cooperate with the legion, and the world asked to settle in, and he agreed.

But even if there is a world legion to help the mercenaries, Xu Shu can only use 4,000 mercenaries. Although the mercenaries can continue to be recruited after being damaged, all the mercenaries recruited by the Zhulu Leader and the World Legion are the White Tiger Followers, and only the White Tiger Followers affiliated to the territory can be quickly put into battle in a hurry and the will to fight is reliable. No matter how you say it, they are all territorial villagers, and as a last resort, Xu Shu will not use the lives of his own righteous servants to fight a war of attrition with the enemy.

On the other hand, there is usually a gap between the combat effectiveness of mercenaries and the army.

The mercenaries do not belong to the battle sequence directly under the territory, even if the White Tiger Yicong are all Zhulu villagers, the Kuita bonus cannot be applied to them, and the combat effectiveness gap with the Zhulu Army is very large, and it cannot provide the strength of the legion. Moreover, the mercenary combat routine takes the wild road, which is suitable for small-scale battles or melees, and it is more reliable for large troops to fight or troops. The larger the battle, the more obvious the difference in combat power.

Of course, not all mercenaries are parallel imports.

The famous mercenaries such as the Eren and Danyang soldiers have no legion strength, and with their own combat power and special combat methods, they are completely able to beat the vast majority of regular troops, but it is a pity that the White Tiger is still too far behind.

As for why Xu Shu put the mercenaries in the main city, it was even simpler.

There's a teleportation array in the main city!

The subordinate territory is surrounded, and the mercenaries can go through the teleportation array at any time.
