52. The Battle of the Tower
more
Cheng Peng stood on a makeshift earthen platform with an enhanced version of the "Earth Thorn" spell with the Ice and Snow Spear, carefully guarding the surroundings.
"The brothers of the construction team work harder! Chop down that tower as soon as possible! He shouted in the team channel, "Finish early and finish early, the brothers of the scout team are patrolling in the cold wind, but it's cold enough!" ”
The shout drew laughter from several groups of players.
"Brother Peng, don't worry! That's almost the end of it! Not far away, under the half-red, half-blue, and gradually turning blue jade pagoda, a big man wearing gray and yellow overalls and a hard hat raised the hammer in his hand, laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about the enemy coming, concentrate on demolishing the tower, in such a good situation, the work efficiency of the buddies is very good!" ”
"yes, it'll be done in five minutes at most!" Another player patted his chest and promised, "It's just a second-level tower, we are all expert-level craftsmen, Brother Peng, you can rest assured!" Adventure 52
On the other side, there are also players who are patting their chests.
"It's not cold, we usually train in the Siberian Ice Field!"
"And if you want to talk about cold, the Demon King's army is also very cold, they are not as cold resistant as us!"
The players who said these words were not here, but patrolled at least five or six kilometers away, they were professional scouts like Fu Dewei who were good at reconnaissance, and their task was to detect the enemy's movements as soon as possible, so that the large army had enough time to react.
The battle for the tower is often not achieved overnight, it is commonplace to go back and forth a few times, and at most, around a demarcation tower, even 100,000 troops will be gathered, fight for a day, and finally fight until everyone is exhausted, and the support of one side cannot catch up and end with the support of one side not being able to catch up.
Like Cheng Peng, the tower they are attacking now is better, because it is only a relatively low-level second-level tower, if it is a more advanced - the fifth-level towers in the strongholds of the two sides are not considered for the time being, and the fourth-level towers that only have seven on the battlefield are not considered for the time being, even if it is a third-level tower, it will gather at least tens of thousands of horses and horses, and start a meat grinder-like desperate battle around it. D Hit)
…… In the melee plot, the division of forces between two or even multiple camps is determined by the "Battle for the Tower".
The so-called "battle to capture the towers" is to control the range of influence they can influence by seizing those demarcation towers located on the position, and then obtain a relatively stable base in order to advance the battle line.
After the two forces of the Raider Army and the Demon King Army went through the early escape and pursuit battle, each other's basic spheres of influence stabilized, and then from the fourth day, that is, December 4th, many large and small jade pagodas rose to the ground in the spheres of influence of both sides, each of which cast a large or small aura, in which all the attributes of the own troops will be increased, and all the attributes of the enemy troops will be reduced a little; Not only that, but these pagodas, known as the "Boundary Towers", will occasionally attack enemies within the range of the aura, and the power of the attack is extraordinary, which can cause considerable trouble to the enemy.
If this is the case, then it is unlikely that both sides will be able to capture the other's demarcation tower, so every once in a while, you can propose a "battle to capture the tower" against the opponent's demarcation tower. When the battle for the Tower begins, the aura of the Dividing Tower will temporarily disappear, allowing the two sides to start fighting again on an equal footing.
The battle for the Boundary Tower is divided into two steps, first, to defeat the enemy and take control of the area around the Tower; Then, it is up to the player with the Tinkerer class to go to the Boundary Tower and "tear it down" - in fact, of course, it is not to dismantle the Boundary Tower, but to replace the enemy and gain control of the Tower.
The process of dismantling the tower is relatively long, because the durability of the demarcation tower is very high, and it does not eat ranged attacks at all, only melee physical attacks can take effect on it, and at the same time, players who are not artisan classes can only kill a little durability per attack, no matter how strong their combat power is, and only craftsmen can fight more - if the attacked party regains control of the area around the demarcation tower, their craftsmen can also repair the demarcation tower and restore its durability......
Therefore, in order to obtain the opponent's demarcation tower and thus seize that area, you need to be able to defeat the opponent and defeat them, and you must be able to continue to control the demarcation tower for a period of time to ensure success.
It's a long endurance battle, especially when both sides are capturing those high-level demarcation towers with a large area of influence, and often there will be several batches of echelons just engaged in the battle, so be prepared to fight for a few hours or more.
There are a total of five levels of demarcation towers, and there are only two of the highest level five towers, which are located in the center of the strongholds of both sides, once occupied by the other side, it means a complete defeat in this war; There are seven fourth-class towers, which divide the entire battlefield into several large areas, three on each side, and the one in the center of the main battlefield is the area where the battle is most intense; The second rank is the three-level towers, which are thirty-six in total, scattered throughout the battlefield, each of which is an extremely important stronghold; Further down, there are a total of one hundred and eight second-level towers and a first-level tower that does not have a fixed number and refreshes randomly.
Cheng Peng's attack this time was a second-level demarcation tower, located in a relatively remote area between the two sides. Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, but the so-called continuous accumulation of small victories can eventually converge into big victories, so Cheng Peng personally invited Ying to lead a team of more than 1,000 people to seize it.
The battle was generally smooth, and there were only more than 600 players stationed in this tower on the other side, most of whom had not even reached the peak of the four-star rank, and there was only one five-star player. Although the Demon King Army learned of the attack of Cheng Peng and others in advance through the scouts, and hurriedly sent reinforcements, under the leadership of Cheng Peng, the raiding team of the Raider Army only took ten minutes to completely wipe out the Demon King Army stationed in this tower, and then began the work of demolishing the tower.
Cheng Peng's team of about 40 craftsmen - no matter how many people there are, it doesn't make much sense, the second-level tower covers a small area, and there are not too many people standing around - it takes about half an hour to complete the demolition work. So Cheng Peng and the others turned from the attacking side to the defending side, and the goal was to ensure that within half an hour, the enemy could not rush to the bottom of the tower to destroy the tower demolition work.
Before he laughed with everyone, they had repelled two groups of reinforcements from the Demon King Army and defeated at least 1,500 enemy troops, of which Cheng Peng alone had killed more than 100 people, and also included all eight five-star masters in the three troops before and after the Demon King Army! Adventure 52
After the thousand-man team led by five five-star masters was defeated, and the five masters were killed one by one by Cheng Peng with the Ice and Snow Spear, the morale of the Demon King Army was hit by the destruction of "sex", and the nearby troops no longer wasted manpower when they saw that there was no hope of victory, and the large troops in the distance did not have time to arrive at all.
At this point, the outcome is a foregone conclusion, and nothing will change.
So everyone has the idea of laughing.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, until the demolition of the tower was completed, the red "color" Demon King Army Boundary Tower was completely transformed into a blue "color" Raider Army Boundary Tower, and the Demon King Army's troops did not appear again.
[Battle Report: After a fierce battle, the Raiders successfully captured the second-level demarcation tower with serial number 78, expanding their sphere of influence again, and taking a solid step towards victory! 】
【Congratulations!】 You fought side by side with your comrades to win the Battle of the Tower, and the entire crusading army sang the praises of your bravery, while the Demon King's army was so intimidated by your prestige that they did not dare to come near it for at least a day. 】
"Brothers, call it a day!" Cheng Peng laughed, "Let's go, I'll treat you back to the stronghold and celebrate the banquet!" ”
"Ou Ye! Brother Peng is really generous! ”
"A high-ranking officer is good! We want to be generous once, and we don't have the qualifications to hold a celebration banquet! ”
"Then let's go first and go back and grab a good spot!"
They talked and laughed, mounted their war horses, and galloped towards Luoyang City.
Behind them, a small patch of dark clouds dispersed, and a warm ray of sunlight fell on the blue jade pagoda that was as clear as a jewel.
