Chapter 534: Attack and Defense of the Town (1)
Soon, the old demon and his team approached the town of Red Leaves. [No pop-up novel network]
At this time, the system heard a prompt, and the leaders of the three mercenary groups were asked to see what they meant.
And when the three of them unanimously chose the occupation option, the three gates facing the intersection of Red Leaf Town were immediately slammed shut, and all the players in the town received a system prompt to let them leave through the teleportation array.
At this time, the town of Momiji has entered a state of war, and the teleportation array has become a one-way teleportation, and players are only allowed to go out but not enter, and on the streets of the town, a large number of NPC guard soldiers have appeared out of nowhere, with rumbling footsteps, rushing to the city wall.
Giggles! The sound of the wooden longbow string being pulled apart was heard incessantly, and the archers poked their heads out of the gaps in the walls of the town, and one by one the bows that had been mounted with long arrows pointed far away at the old demons who were preparing to attack the city and their ranks, behind these archers, warriors with tower shields and long swords in their hands, wearing heavy armor, standing coldly in the rear, they were always ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemies who rushed up.
There are also mages who hold their staff in their right hand and a magic book in their left hand, and they go into the improvised turret built on the city wall, a thick wooden plank that slopes downwards to help these mages resist the flying arrows, so that they can safely carry out magical strikes from a high position, although the number of these mages is small, but no one dares to underestimate their strength, in this siege war, they are a veritable battery, and their role is no less than that of the thirty-six defense towers.
Behind the city gate under the city wall, there was a group of knights already riding on horseback, they were dressed in full-covered iron armor, wrapped their whole bodies tightly, and a huge knight's spear in their hands was pestled in the pouch, the brocade ribbon wrapped around the spear, dancing in the breeze, and the rows of spear tips standing in the air, like a forest, dense and terrifying.
The tower, which stood in front of the three intersections, had been activated at this time, and the magic symbols on the spire were all lit up, slowly turning at a slow speed, ready to strike a fatal blow to the intruders.
This is the defensive power of Momiji Town, like a small fortress, just looking at it, it makes people feel creepy...... A small town, it's already like this, I don't know what kind of terrifying picture it will be when attacking the main city of the system?
Inside the team, it has become silent at this time, although the players of the three mercenary groups, although they already knew that the target of this attack was the town in front of them, but when they really saw the defense power of this town, they still couldn't help but gasp, before they arrived at this town, they could never imagine what kind of battle they would face.
The previous relaxed and excited mood has long disappeared without a trace, and has been replaced by an incomparable solemnity...... The old demon and the celebrity world, as well as the cold stream carefree, glanced at each other, and then sighed softly, no matter what, now they can only bite the bullet!
Due to the large number of players participating in the siege battle this time, in order to prevent the command from being unable to hear it clearly when it is transmitted, except for the three leaders of the old demon and the team leader who has been screened out by each mercenary group, the speeches of the rest of the players have been set to prohibit.
In a burst of urging, eight trebuchets were lined up one by one, after the gate of the town of Momiji was closed, the river became a natural moat, if you want to attack the town, the coalition side must rush through this rope bridge over the river, the bridge deck is very narrow, naturally it is impossible to place catapults, so you can only choose a limit attack position on this side of the river bank to place.
If the location of the town is regarded as the direction of twelve o'clock, then the position indicated by the rope bridge where the old demon is located is above the two o'clock direction, the other two rope bridges connecting the town, one is in the direction of six o'clock, which is directly opposite the town, and the other is above the nine o'clock direction, the three gates of the town are just distributed at a 180 ° fan-shaped angle, and the direction where the coalition forces are located, that is, the side.
Now you can only attack from a single rope bridge, and if you want to attack from three directions at the same time, you must first rush over this rope bridge and then make a detour in the very small area in front of the town.
But everyone knows that if you want to do this, you will have to rush under the walls of the town, and then the dense rain of arrows and the deadly attack of the towers will be a nightmare.
Therefore, the old demon can only choose to focus on breaking through, concentrate on strength, and attack from this rope bridge first.
Under the orders of the three regiment commanders, the warrior team captains of each mercenary group gathered all the warrior players, and then divided into two parts, one part was scattered in front of the eight catapults, and their task was to protect the catapults as much as possible, and strive to make the catapults hold on for a longer period of time.
The other part stepped directly onto the rope bridge.
Behind them are all the Hunter Player's Battle Pets, which will be used as cannon fodder to attract the tower's fire, along with these Warrior Players, as they march towards the city wall once the battle begins.
This is really no way, the geographical location of the red leaf town, is too superior, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, from the side of the rope bridge, to the side of the town wall, the distance is a little farther, except for the catapult can attack the city wall, whether it is a hunter or a mage, the two ranged professions can not send their attacks to the town, so they can only let the warriors go first.
Everyone held their breath, all kinds of occupations according to the division of labor, under the command of the team leader, the group stood well, and those players who came from Catalonia to see the excitement also stood in the rear to watch from a distance at this time, so they looked at the plain, which was not spacious on this side of the riverbank, was densely packed with heads.
Without any countdown, the catapults on the side of the coalition army made a creaking sound, slowly pulled by the huge spring, and then suddenly threw the huge stones, when these stones made a huge whistling sound and smashed on the top of the city wall defense tower, this siege battle was finally started!
Catapults don't need people to do it, they can automatically reload ammunition and attack automatically, as long as the three commanders of the old demon give a target.
Of the eight huge rocks, five hit the target designated by the old demon, which was an arrow tower directly opposite the rope bridge, and the other three hit the two sections of the city wall between the defense towers.
Catapults also have a hit rate, not really refers to where to hit, such a hit rate, generally according to the quality of the catapult to decide, to the system sold catapult for example, attack ten times, if you can have four accurate hits to the designated target, you can already burn incense and worship the Buddha, that kind of hit rate is simply miserable.
And the eight catapults sold to the old demon by the Warring States are indeed worthy of the current high-end products, although the appearance looks no different from the ones sold by the system, but there is almost a 70% hit rate, and those players in the rear who know a little more about watching the excitement can't help but exclaim when they find out this.
This time, the old demons, they can be regarded as having made a bloody investment...... The attack power of these eight catapults far exceeded the attack power of the system catapults, and after being hit by five stone bullets, the old demon could clearly see that the arrow tower that was hit instantly lost a small bar of health.
Perhaps sensing the great threat of these catapults, the twelve defense towers on the other side of the rope bridge began to attack in unison, each of the eight arrow towers shot a thick crossbow arrow, and the four magic towers quickly released several flame light clusters, heading straight for the catapults here!
"Defense!"
As the leaders of the three warrior teams exclaimed, the warrior players guarding in front of the catapult hurriedly put up the shields in their hands!
Boom! A loud bang came, and then there was an aggressive sound, and in the surprised eyes of countless players, the warrior players guarding in front of a catapult, starting from the front one, were shot through by a crossbow arrow, starting from the front one, and several warrior players behind them!
The formation of a whole four rows can't withstand the penetration of a single crossbow arrow!? The players almost bit their tongues in fright!
Those players who were shot through hung up directly without snorting, as if the shields in their hands were papier-mâché, without any resistance...... This kind of situation is playing out in front of every catapult, the crossbow arrows shot by the eight arrow towers pierced the eight rows of warrior players, and the flame light balls shot by the other four magic towers hit the warriors who stood in the front with a bang, although there is no huge penetration and damage power of the crossbow arrows, but these continuous flame light clusters still let a small range of warrior players be bombarded after exploding!
In such a moment of fighting, more than fifty people were directly hung up on the coalition side!
The old demon and the three regiment commanders were all drenched in cold sweat, although they had already prepared for the attack power of the defense tower, but when they really risked their lives, they still couldn't help but be startled by this attack power.
It's so perverted! If such an attack hits the catapult, I wonder if it will knock out more than half of the catapult's solidity at once?
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw their own happiness in each other's eyes, fortunately, they chose to focus on breaking through such a tactic, if they had chosen to attack on three sides together, they didn't know what it would be like when the thirty-six defense towers were in full fire...... "On!" Hurry up, the team of warriors move forward! ”
The three of them hurriedly issued a command order, if they don't use the warrior team to attract firepower, the attack power of the defense tower will bring greater casualties to the warrior team guarding the catapult!
……………… It's hard to write about the war scenes, so I can only try my best......
