Chapter 140: Weather Effects
It was still pouring rain in the sky, and outside the camp of the Spiegel tribe, a strong shout broke the silence of this rainy day, and a group of warriors wearing leather armor and using stone spears and stone axes as weapons trampled on the muddy ground, pushing the siege vehicles in front of them, and launched a charge towards the gate of the Spiegel tribe!
Within the ancient city walls, under the calm command of Zhao Pan, the slinger troops were divided into three groups, and constantly launched a three-stage stone bombardment against the invaders who rushed outside the city wall.
"Charge the whole army!!" The player leading this army yelled frantically, "If you rush within thirty meters, those slingers won't be able to hit us!" Everyone, rush!! ”
However, the weather was not as expected, the exaggerated high-frequency stone bombardment of the slingers was already despairing, and the season of this world just entered the rainy season, at that time, only heard the sound of 'clang', the player's heart was suddenly startled, and before he could confirm it personally, the anxious and panicked voice of the soldiers under his command had already sounded in his ears, "Chief, leader!" The wheels of the siege engine have sunk into a mud puddle! ”
In ancient times, once the ground was uneven in the rainy season, it became potholed due to long-term rain, which was a natural trap area for invaders who needed to transport siege equipment!
"Shield axe men form a defensive formation to cover! The spearmen hurriedly pushed the siege engine out of the mud pit!! "In this case, what can you do but push?
And Zhao Pan, who also saw this scene and knew that there was an accident on the intruder's side, flashed a hint of joy in his eyes, only to see him make a big move and quickly give an order in that calm voice, "The attack angle is thirty degrees to the left!" I prepare for the whole stone projectile throwing and put it! ”
Under an order, different from the previous three-stage stone bomb throwing, in order to destroy the opposite siege vehicle in one go, he directly ordered all the throwing this time, and suddenly, under Zhao Pan's instructions, a large piece of stone bullets mixed with splashing rain frantically smashed towards the location of the opponent's siege vehicle, this scene saw the player as the invader was shocked, "Raise the shield to defend!" Fast! Defend with your shield! Protect the siege engines! ”
It's too late, it's too fast, and by the time the player's order is given, it's already too late, and the heavy round stone projectiles are smashed down frantically, and the sudden round of throwing by the slingers will not only double the destructive power? Where could a thin wooden shield be able to withstand it? The entire defensive formation collapsed in an instant, and then the second round of throwing that was quickly followed directly hit the spearmen who were desperately pushing the siege vehicles in the rear!
Cruel blood flowers mixed with screams, constantly blooming in the pouring rain, the outcome of this battle has been made at this moment, Luo Ji never thought that the rainy season, which made him uncomfortable, became a big help for them in the city defense at this moment, and at the same time, what he didn't expect was that in this city defense battle, he found another advantage of the slingers! That is, it is less susceptible to the weather!
In the past strategy war games, few games will add a weather system, and even if it is added, it is often a symbolic meaning, and there will be no particularly obvious impact, after all, it is impossible in ordinary games to have this kind of thing that causes muddy roads due to rain, and finally makes the wheels of the siege equipment accidentally sink into the mud puddle and cannot be pushed out.
This made Luo Ji ignore this point before, until this battle, the slingers made him clearly aware of the weather problem through their outstanding performance.
In a real war, attention is paid to the right time and place! What does it mean to be in the middle of the day? Simply put, it's the natural climate, which is the weather!
The weather has a very big impact on a war, for example, in this battle, Luo Ji's archer troops are also there, but they are almost the whole time playing soy sauce, the reason is very simple, because this pouring rain has too much impact on them, the first impact is the vision, and the second impact is the arrow shot out, the weight of an arrow is not heavy, the rain keeps dripping on the flying arrows, the original aiming shooting trajectory is suddenly offset, directly taking away the biggest advantage of the archers, That is, precision!
On the other hand, the slinger, the heavy stone bullet doesn't care about those few drops of rain, the attack trajectory and power have almost no impact, I have to say, skimming the stone bullet is too heavy, resulting in too weak mobility, only suitable for fighting the weakness of the city defense not to mention, this slinger as a long-range soldier in ancient times, the adaptability is really strong enough!
At this time, Luo Ji couldn't help but admire himself even more when he decisively spent a million civilization points in seconds to get the 'Gold-level Slinger Mastery' skill book, and the decision at that moment was really wise!
At the same time, in this battle of defending the city, he was even more satisfied with Zhao Pan's performance, that's right, in the whole battle of defending the city just now, Luo Ji did almost nothing, and Zhao Pan was commanding the slinger troops under his command to meet the attack, and it turned out that he was really worthy of being the general who didn't need him to worry about the most, under his command, the invaders were ruthlessly defeated by him without breaking into thirty meters.
"Patriarch, do you want to send a team of shield axe men in pursuit?" Looking at the defeated invader troops, Zhao Pan, who was still calm, asked Luo Ji for instructions in a calm tone.
Hearing this, Luo Ji did not answer directly, but asked Zhao Pan rhetorically, "What do you think?" Do you want to pursue? ”
"My subordinates don't think we should pursue them." Faced with Luo Ji's rhetorical question, Zhao Pan answered very simply.
"Oh?" Luo Ji raised his eyebrows, and the slightly curvature of the corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at this time, "Why?" Why shouldn't it be pursued? ”
"First of all, the weather, standing in the city, as the defender of the city, the impact of this heavy rain on us is naturally limited, which is our advantage as the defender of the city, but once we go out of the city to pursue, this advantage is gone."
"The second is the situation of the invaders, although the other side is defeated, but when retreating, it seems to be a rout, but in fact it is not panicked, and they have not even forgotten to forcibly push the siege vehicle away, which shows that they actually have the strength to fight, maybe this is the other party's deliberate strategy to lead us to send troops out of the city to chase and kill, once our troops catch up, just into the woods, maybe they will be ambushed by the other party."
Speaking of this, Zhao Pan paused, then glanced at Luo Yong and Guo Zhen, who were full of depression, before speaking again, "Of course, with the strength of Guo Zhen and Luo Yong, even if they are ambushed, they must be able to easily defeat the enemy, but during this period, the soldiers under their command will inevitably suffer casualties, and there is really no need for that." ”
