Chapter 453: Breaking through the Difficulties
Everything is ready, just wait for the plan to be implemented.
After completing everything that should be done, Ling Chen contacted Qing Yao, and after asking her leveling address, he quickly rushed over.
For half a month, Ling Chen's level climbed to level 62, and he had already returned to the first line, and not long after he went to the Demon Realm to let the Rebel Boss organize slaves to change to earn magic crystals and return to the Human Realm, the system announcement sounded, and the Shocking Guild officially became the first guild in Yuhan City to declare war on the main city.
After the declaration of war, there were three days of preparation time, and in these three days, Ling Chen inevitably made mistakes and omissions, and contacted the presidents of the eight guilds one by one, and then tens of millions of evil army garrisons.
Three days later, Ling Chen teleported a return scroll to the main city four hours after the battle. All around, groups of NPC soldiers can be seen everywhere, and all the doors of the shops and courtyards along the street are closed, and there is no trace of any NPC people and vendors.
Not long after leaving the city, as soon as the last three hours arrived, all the players who were still in the main city and the war zone were kicked out by the system. Outside the war zone, there was a sea of people, and for the first siege battle in Yuhan City, even Ling Chen couldn't help but come to join in the fun, not to mention other players.
The roar came and went, and it lasted for a long time, and just when the preparation time disappeared, one by one the players entered the war zone directly through the crowd, and then quickly assembled into a team, and the roar that gathered from the crowd reached its peak, and the whole earth trembled.
Yuhan City still belongs to the NPC City Lord, and the margin is not much, so the war zone outside the city is only about three hundred meters long. Players on the periphery look up. As long as it is level 30 or above. Any class can see what is going on on the walls.
The 30,000 members of the Heaven-Shattering Guild all gathered outside the East Gate in only twenty minutes. With the order of the chairman Xiao Xiao shook the sky, the merchants took out the shield carts and catapults one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they lined up in six rows, as many as six hundred.
These shield carts and catapults continued to push forward, and when they entered more than fifty meters or so, they came to a stop.
"What's the matter, the main city doesn't even have a catapult with a range of 80 meters?"
"Damn, I don't even have slightly more expensive war equipment, which doesn't mean that you only have money. Can anyone take the main city? Not to mention anything else, I'll smash tens of millions of gold coins and get tens of thousands of catapults for him, just by virtue of range and attack power. Who can stand it? ”
"That's not the case, if there is a large guild making trouble behind the scenes, it is not strong, and it is not enough to have money."
Seeing that the catapult of the Shocking Guild advanced to about fifty meters without encountering an attack, the players were hotly discussed. In my heart, for this siege battle, the balance that was already inclined to the earth-shattering guild became more and more tilted. After all, in such a large-scale war, the value of war equipment occupies a lot of weight.
A catapult with a range of 80 meters is worth 1,000 gold coins, although it is so expensive that even medium-sized guilds are reluctant to buy a few. It's not unacceptable for large guilds. It stands to reason that emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the main city, although financially constrained, is not so tight that it cannot even afford a few hundred catapults. There is no doubt that this fact was not expected by the Shocking Guild. After pausing for more than ten minutes, after making sure that there was not any conspiracy on the part of the main city, Xiao Zhen Changkong gave the order.
The merchant in the front row began to put the shield cart into the storage space, and the catapult was completely exposed.
Still not receiving any attacks from the main city, Xiao Zhen waved his hand in the air. The leaders of each regiment immediately roared on the guild channel. Suddenly, the merchant took out the boulder and placed it on a tray behind the catapult, and as the controller activated the mechanism, it was thrown into the sky with a buzz, and then smashed down the city wall.
Boom Boom Boom ......
In a New York minute. More than 500 catapults sent countless boulders into the air, and then. These boulders are like huge snowflakes, crashing down. Suddenly, the people on the city wall flipped on their backs, and one by one NPC soldiers were knocked to the ground, or even directly knocked off the city wall. …,
The stones were splashing, and the dizzyingly high defense value of the city wall did not move, but the NPC soldiers above were in chaos, and the walls were in chaos, and the screams were one after another. Occasionally, you can even see a flickering white light.
One-minute, two-minute, three-minute...... In the process of the players thinking that the Shocking Guild could launch a strong attack again and again, the Shocking Guild never moved, only the catapult was there to take the trouble to throw the boulders taken out by the merchants into the air one by one, and then smashed them into the city wall.
Under the pressure of more than 500 catapults, a vacuum zone of more than 100 meters long gradually took shape.
However, even if this vacuum was formed, the Heaven-shattering Guild did not launch a strong attack for a long time, as if the purpose was to smash down the city wall or smash all the boulders in the merchants' storage space, consuming time by minute.
After more than an hour of bombardment, just when the onlookers were already drowsy, secretly muttering that the sky was full of nothing to smash stones, behind the five hundred catapults of the Shocking Guild, a large number of ranged professions armed with magic wands and bows and arrows suddenly poured out, and a small number of merchants were also mixed in.
"It's started, I'm, it's finally started."
"What's the matter, it's only now that the siege has begun, and I heard that declaring war on the main city costs a million gold coins a day. A waste of an hour is forty or fifty thousand gold coins, is this earth-shattering guild money too much to burn? ”
"That's it! More than an hour was wasted. It would be nice if Sunset Star joined the Shocking Guild, why do you need to be so troublesome, with a charge of the Berserk Giant Bear, you can easily break through the city gate, it is estimated that three minutes is more than enough. ”
The onlookers finally got excited and kept an eye on the battle one by one. Some of the more flexible minds, as the battle progressed, they gradually discovered a few clues, and they slowly saw the reason why the Shocking Guild had wasted more than an hour in vain.
After more than an hour of bombardment, the NPC defenders seemed to have become accustomed to this section of the city wall becoming a vacuum, and when countless archers and magicians rushed forward, they all killed under the city wall, and only then did they see a large number of NPC soldiers rushing up to the city wall from the rear under the roar of the general.
It seems that more than an hour of continuous bombardment has only bought twenty or thirty seconds of respite for the ranged professions, but it is these respites that are enough for the Shocking Guild to avoid a large number of casualties.
As the NPC soldiers surged towards the edge of the outer city wall, the merchants, who were mixed between mages and archers, took out siege engines. As the mages and archers climbed onto the siege engine, the hull continued to rise upwards.
Small fireballs, icicles, arrows...... All kinds of small magic and arrows covered the city wall all over the siege engine, and those NPC soldiers who finally rushed to the city wall were immediately bombarded and retreated.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the generals of the defenders on both sides immediately ordered the soldiers of the city walls, who had not been attacked by catapults, to march towards the center.
Unfortunately, it was already a step too late.
Magicians and archers stepped onto the walls and marched forward and to the sides. All kinds of small magic and arrows are constantly emitted, and occasionally they find that they can't suppress it, so they throw a few magic scrolls out, and on the city wall, an area of more than 100 meters long is completely controlled by the ranged profession of the Shocking Guild.
The whole process takes less than twenty minutes. Combined with the time wasted before, it was only about an hour and a half.
"Awesome!"
Rao is Ling Chen's determination, and he couldn't help but praise it.
Attacking the main city, attacking the city walls, or breaking through the city gates is the first level. Ling Chen was sure that if the Shocking Guild attacked by normal means, even if it had a huge advantage in the catapult, using the catapult to suppress the firepower, the ranged profession or the melee profession to kill at the foot of the city wall, and using the siege vehicle to break through, there would be no three or five hours without thinking about it, and it would have to pay a great price. Attacking the foot of the city wall, gaining a firm foothold on the siege vehicle can counterattack, and completely suppressing the NPC defenders to kill the city wall, none of these three points are a war of attrition, even if you find a super master to make arrows, you will inevitably lose a lot of money. If the super master is knocked down on the siege vehicle, or the defense value of the siege vehicle is exhausted and collapsed, there will even be a loss of the super master being killed and downgraded. …,
After successfully capturing a section of the city wall without wasting a single soldier, the battle situation once again fell into a stalemate. The Heaven-shattering Guild faced the second hurdle of siege and broke into the city.
Breaking through the gates or the walls does not mean that you will enter the city, but you must also break through the open area of the gates.
The main city was built with the walls as one of the strongest fortifications, and although the walls were all the same, there were only four gates at the entrance. If the soldiers in the main city wanted to enter the city wall, in addition to going up from the stone stairs at the city gate, they had to build a ladder to climb up from the inner wall of the city wall. If the besieging side wants to break through the city gate and enter the city, there is a doorway hole more than 20 meters long in front of it. If you want to enter the city from the city walls, you can only go down through the stone stairs. Because if you go down from the city wall by ladder, the height of more than 30 meters cannot be suppressed by magic or arrows, and the defenders in the city below only need a few small fireballs to blast the ladder and make all the enemies above the ladder fall down.
The members of the Shocking Guild began to continuously rush up the city wall along the 100-meter vacuum, although the main city also opened its gates and sent troops to attack, or tried to prevent the death squads from counterattacking and driving people off the city wall, all of them were suppressed by the Shocking Guild.
Despite this, the Heaven-shattering Guild wants to enter the city in a short period of time, which is also wishful thinking. You can only continue to slowly widen the gap in the city wall, and wait until the army has all killed the city wall, and then continue to march in the direction of the city gate.
Time passed minute by minute, and although the battle situation was stalemate, the Shocking Guild was slowly advancing after all, and it was undoubtedly several times better than wasting time on the city wall without a purpose. The onlookers were still excited, cheering one by one, or betting with the players next to them on how long it would take for the Amazing Guild to enter the city.
On a whim, after Ling Chen met someone sitting next to him, he also dropped ten copper coins, betting that the Shocking Guild would be able to enter the city in five hours. (To be continued.)
