"Chapter 287: Harassment Tactics"
"Attack! Take down the White Oak! ”
At Philip's shout, the huge army saved even the time to assemble and rushed directly in the direction of the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the two sides had been absolutely silent for five whole days, during which the kingdom remained vigilant, and Seon Horner knew very well that the opposing forces could not stay there all the time, and that it was only a matter of time before they attacked, and that any slackening would cause serious mistakes. His strength was not that strong, but he still relied on his years of military experience to detect that frightening aura. She felt as if she was under the watchful eye of the other party, as if a pair of eyes had been watching her over the city, looking for every possible mistake.
Seon Horner asked the army not to slacken and to patrol the walls more carefully than usual to avoid accidents. The soldiers in the city did the same, and for them, Lord Seon Horner was like a god of war, and I believe that his judgment could not be wrong. Although it is a little hard, I can better protect my life and family safety.
Their preparation proved to be correct, and after five days of silence, the opposing side was replenished with troops, and the huge army moved without warning, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed up the slope with enough momentum to make the recruits fall to their knees. The defenders at the head of the city were naturally not frightened like that, they also belonged to the more elite troops, although they were also a little nervous and frightened, but they were quickly left behind. All the heavy weapons were activated, the arrows of the crossbowmen were immediately filled, and the city defense weapons such as the rolling logs were also activated one after another, and the defensive strength was raised to the highest level from the beginning.
The Magic Matrix also slowly rose, because of their previous proud achievements, the Kingdom troops had always had great hopes for them.
The opposing forces were getting closer and closer, and the rolling logs rushed in front of them, and the stone bullets of the trebuchets kept falling. But this time the other side used new methods, a large number of strong warriors have attacked, blasting these stone bullets, provoking the rolling logs, and the army seems to ignore these things, constantly pushing forward. The kingdom's crossbowmen were full of bowstrings, and as soon as the opponent came within their range, they poured the most saturated attacks on that army. At this time, the city walls were full of troops, and even veterans believed that with sufficient defensive troops and a strong defense system, even if the opponent's terrifying and powerful troops did not want to attack for a while.
Everything was ready, but the next moment there was a complete reversal of the battlefield format. The huge army stopped when it was about to enter the attack range of the elemental matrix, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a charging state stopped together, without a trace of chaos, not a single skeleton soldier was trampled in this sudden pause. A large army is like a person's body, unified and coordinated. The soldiers of the kingdom opened their mouths wide, and even the officers opened their eyes wide. Just now, there were still shouts of killing, but in the blink of an eye, this huge army stood there as if it was still, and there was no additional sound at all.
In less than twenty seconds, the unit had switched directions and walked towards the rear with great ease, and there was even a lot of laughter mixed in. The soldiers of the kingdom looked at each other, but they didn't know what was going on. The officers did not dare to relax, and although the fire attack stopped, the troops still maintained a fighting posture until the opposing troops completely returned to the camp. The officers in command of the troops did not know what the other party was trying to do, so they could only tell the news to General Seon Horner.
Theon Horner listened intently, while his students tinkered with his own conjectures, and the man who drew the map was still lying on his desk with his measuring tools and ruler calculating, but his face had become very heavy. Seon Horner was also silent for a while, and finally took the troop's duty plan and began to make changes.
In the time that followed, the defenders of the kingdom began to fall into a state of great fatigue. Within a few hours of the withdrawal of the army, the troops sounded the horn of the attack again, and then rushed up the slope with a bang, advanced to the side of the attack range of the city defense troops and the Yuan Matrix Tower under long-range heavy fire, and then smiled at the defenders of the city, and finally returned with a good look. This became more and more frequent, and in the following days the kingdom's troops were subjected to more and more vicious harassment attacks, from three or four times a day to a dozen attacks a day by multiple troops. Even many of the soldiers defending the city would curse when they heard the other party's attack horn.
General Seon Horner roughly guessed what the other side was going to do when he received the news. Harassment, constant harassment, constant drain on the energy and fighting spirit of their troops, and finally let the defense system collapse on its own. This tactic is more common in the East, and there have been several instances in the Inexplicable Continent. It's a bit disgraceful, but it's really good. For soldiers who have been nervous for a long time only to find that the other party is just playing with themselves, anger and resentment can even make them abandon their defense against the enemy's offensive behavior. But once that's the case, the opponent will launch a real attack, crushing them in the face of a panicked counterattack.
Of course, Seon Horner is aware of the annoying and effective effects of this tactic, so he changed the frequency of defensive duty changes and the number of troops, so that his troops can get as much rest as possible from the harassment of the other side. At the same time, he also issued a strict order, no matter whether the other party came to do it, he must also give the other party a heavy blow, and he must not slack off at all. "Even if they're eating barbecue under our city, we can't shed a drop of saliva, and the bow and crossbow must always be aimed at them." Saon Horner asked.
Frankly speaking, Seon Horner's methods have been done very well, and if it were an ordinary army, it probably wouldn't have had much effect. But the troops of the system just have a lot of advantages, they need to rest, but there are very few needs. The skeleton unit is even more open all year round, working 24 hours a day, and can go out to harass at any time. At first, the defenders of the kingdom were able to strictly follow discipline, but as the frequency of attacks increased, they became more and more tired, and even the high-ranking warriors were sleepy all day. Day and night, the shouts of killing and artillery were endless, and the soldiers and civilians of White Oak City were troubled, and their work efficiency was greatly reduced. In order to stop this harassment tactic of the other side, Seon Horner even sent elite troops out of the city to attack the small troops sent by the other side to harass, but because the other party's reconnaissance speed was too fast, it has not achieved much results. General Horner also sent energetic troops to patrol the city and stand guard, so that the other side thought that the tactics had not achieved results, but they did not deceive the other side.
Looking at the soldiers on the ramparts, I nodded in satisfaction, knowing that the plan had worked.
