Chapter 321: Yang Hao's Tactics
This transfer will bring all the civilians with them, but fortunately, most of the civilians who can escape the corpse tide are middle-aged men, so they won't slow down the team too much.
Some of the regiment commanders complained about Yang Hao and bringing civilians with no combat effectiveness, but Yang Hao only listed two reasons to persuade them.
First of all, if they don't bring civilians, the militia will never go with them, and the regiment commanders present want to reduce their losses, and these militiamen are unwilling to let go.
Secondly, these civilians are not useless, although there is terrain on the hillside, but after all, it is not a natural danger, Yang Hao still has to do some engineering improvements, which requires a lot of labor, and most players are unwilling to do this kind of work.
There were no twists and turns on the road, and the coalition forces arrived at the designated position without any problems.
They are now in the eye of a storm, and the calm is only temporary.
The scouts came to report, and the corpses were approaching in search of their route. When no enemies are in sight, the Blightcorpses remain semi-dormant, traveling slowly but non-stop, so their cross-country ability is far better than it seems.
If you calculate it, it will be close to evening, and you will come into contact with the corpses, leaving them with little time!
Yang Hao can be said to be the player who has the most contact with the plague corpses and knows them best.
Their source, the "epidemic doctor", is a very harmful anomaly, with no purpose, no joy and anger, and no regularity in action. Originally, it appeared on the territory of the Wood Elves, and it didn't take long for the entire Black Forest to be devastated by the Wood Elves.
Until a wizard who specializes in anomalies arrives, seals the plague doctor, and teaches the method of sealing to the surviving wood elves. It is said that he also had an unclear relationship with the queen of the wood elves at that time.
The first generation of plague corpses made by the plague doctor himself were the most powerful, they were the nobles in the corpse group, and the newborn plague corpses that were spread through the plague corpses were cannon fodder that could be discarded at will.
The way these cannon fodder move is very simple, once the target enters the sensing range, it will immediately burst into a very fast speed, rushing straight to the target until it hits the obstacle, and then start climbing, squeezing the corpse, even if the obstacle is empty, they will not choose to drill through.
This can be used, Yang Hao plans to dig three trenches on the ramp, not requiring much wide, but definitely deep!
People can jump over the trench with wit, and the plague corpses will only rush into it stupidly.
The task was heavy, and Yang Hao asked Captain Morley to rush to work with the militia and civilians, while he was busy reorganizing the players' formation.
Before, the silver fox relied on its strong strength and looked down on these small war groups, and only planned to let them contain the enemy, and didn't care about their casualties, so there was no formation, just a rough direct grouping of war groups.
In fact, this is very detrimental to the player's strength, just because these small warbands are really strange.
The smaller the band, the more they like to make features to attract players to join, which has led to a serious decline in class diversity in the team, if not zero.
Similar to Xue Shuang's sharp axe battle group, there are almost no war groups with a balanced class ratio.
Most of them are like berserker warbands, and they are good at one side, so the formation is very important and extremely troublesome.
In the intense preparations, the perfect array is gradually taking shape, melee, ranged, healing, and various functional groups, each with their own place.
Due to witchcraft, the player's array is far more complex than that of ordinary warriors, and Yang Hao's long-term accumulated experience in arranging the formation has amazed all the group leaders.
Just standing in the queue, the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces has not only doubled!
The progress of the NPCs is not so satisfactory, and the soil is not very deep here, and it is covered with large and small stones, which seriously affects the efficiency of the project, and so far only two trenches have been completed.
It's too late, Yang Hao has already smelled the strong smell of corpses, they are coming!
Shaking each other, countless people were crowded, they were originally hard-working and simple farmers, craftsmen, and small traders, but now in a catastrophe-like catastrophe, they lost their lives and became dolls in the hands of the corpse king.
Without a second of hesitation, the corpse tide rolled towards the player's first line of defense, and its momentum shook people's hearts like a stormy wave.
The shadow of the defeat the day before yesterday turned over the hearts of the players, and they couldn't stop trembling, and their momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
"Straight wounded sorcery, a volley, ready!" The only thing that can fight against the tide of corpses is the power of nature, witchcraft!
The scene of nearly a thousand people mobilizing magic and elements naturally cannot be compared with the battle of the day before, but there are still changes in the sky, the air is distorted, and under the reflection of the light of various elements, it actually forms a scenery similar to the aurora.
"Put !!"
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were silent, and the magical annihilation effect was staged again, quietly and firmly erasing all matter within the range, leaving only a lonely hemispherical hole, smooth and chilling.
Then it was as if all the hustle and bustle was gathered together, and it broke out in an instant, except for Yang Hao, everyone felt a tingling in their ears.
This round of attacks directly wiped out thousands of plague corpses, and more importantly, boosted the morale of the players, who roared like beasts and wanted to indulge in a fight!
The angle of the hillside effectively slows down the running speed of the plague corpses, and before they can get close to the trench, the player will first perform a fierce ranged attack, but with the exception of those that are lucky enough to hit the head, arrows, short spears and other projectiles are difficult to kill, but they are further slowed down.
The plague corpse in the front row approached the trench and fell directly down as expected. This trench is the deepest that the NPCs have dug, a full four meters, and the plague corpse will disappear in an instant when it falls in!
Without waiting for the plague corpse to get up, the latecomers kept falling into the trench, without the players having to do anything, and the plague corpses killed in this trench alone were much more than the sorcery salvo just now.
However, with the number of corpses, they did not care about this loss, and soon filled the trench alive, but they had to face a new obstacle, the corpses of their companions.
When using the city wall to defend it, the square wall is not difficult to climb, but the corpses in the trench are uneven, and there are still undead plague corpses who keep stretching their arms and kicking their legs. Although ordinary plague corpses can push through with brute strength, they will inevitably fall to the ground, and their speed will be greatly reduced.
This is the best time that Yang Hao has been waiting for for a long time!
Players who are good at melee combat immediately stepped forward and killed the fallen corpses, which were not in a dense formation and could not get out of their hands for two turns.
I have never felt that the plague corpses are so easy to deal with, in front of the neat queue of players, the plague corpses that have lost their dense formation have no power to fight back, and they rush to die one by one!
