Chapter 378: Stalemate
"Whew"
A low horn sounded, and two million elite archers came out, all holding longbows in their hands and quivers stuck in their waists, and walked towards the east gate of the mall step by step.
And the enemy army in the mall had already discovered Huang Zhong's army, but they didn't dare to come out to die.
Their duty is only to guard the mall, not to fight the enemy to the death.
"Boom. Boom. Boom! ”
Two million soldiers, with vigorous steps, like one person, there was not even a murmur in the footsteps.
Standing in the distance, listening to the sound of them trampling on the earth, watching them shine in the sun, it is so pleasing to the eye.
Of course, in the mall's view, they're here to die.
"Catapult ready!" On the city wall, the adjutant general of the city roared angrily.
Tens of thousands of catapults were prepared to the east, countless boulders were piled aside, and soldiers moved the boulders nearby, and then waited for the commander's orders.
Closer, the speed of the elite-level archers is very fast, and under the leadership of Li Fa, they have a good bonus, and when they are a hundred miles away from the mall, they stop.
This scene made many people in the mall puzzled and didn't understand why they didn't move forward.
"My lord! The enemy army is not moving? Hundreds of miles away from us, do you know how to attack? The adjutant hurriedly came to Zhang He's front and reported the enemy's whereabouts.
Zhang Yiyi listened, touched his chin with his right hand, and thought about the idea of this army, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of it. Ferry to see the new festival
"Pass my order, send out three rounds of attacks, and see what they do!" Zhang He ordered directly.
Since you can't think of it, let's fight a dozen and see, anyway, there are so many enemy troops, as long as you are careful, you will definitely not miss.
And he wants to avenge Gao Ran's arrest, in the last battle, because of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's shots, Gao Ran was captured in front of him, and later when Yuan Shao asked for it, Li Yi pretended to be stupid, pretending not to know, anyway, he didn't know.
This made Yuan Shao very angry, but Li Yi didn't hand over Gao Lan alive or dead, and Yuan Shao didn't have a good way.
Now that the battle is resuming, Yuan Shao pins his hopes on Zhang He, if Zhang He captures one of Li Yi's generals and uses him to exchange for Gao Lan, this hope is still very great.
When the time of tea passed, tens of thousands of catapults attacked.
Countless boulders crossed hundreds of miles and slaughtered Li Fa's army.
The sound of the howling wind and the sound of the boulder hitting the ground were transmitted far away, and even Li Yi, who was watching the battle from behind, heard the sound.
"Whew! Call! Boom. Boom. ”
Feeling the movement of the sky and the earth, Li Yi was very excited.
If you take the mall intact, then these equipment in the mall are your own, but Li Yi just thinks about it.
"Lord, Li Fa's kid is starting to fight back!" Huang Zhong reminded on the side.
"Oh, it's a pity that it's too far away, I can't see it clearly, I can only see a rough idea, it's really unpleasant to be no longer in Zhang Jiao!" Li Yi complained.
"Why don't I have someone go back to Heavenless City and call Zhang Jiao?" Huang Zhong asked.
"That's it, now that Zhang Jiao's strength is improving, he can't be disturbed, forget it, it's good to look at it from a distance." Li Yi shook his head and continued to look.
At this moment, some boulders fell to the ground first due to speed and other reasons, but the accuracy was very different.
Some fell to the ground dozens of miles away from Li Fa's army, and some even flew past Li Fa's army and fought one hundred and fifty miles away.
Normally, the effective attack range of the catapult is 80 li, and the maximum attack range is 150 li, but the accuracy of more than 90 li cannot be guaranteed, and there can only be a number to make up for it.
"Roar, stone-breaking arrows ready! Shoot! Looking at the boulder that flew in, Li Fa did not panic, but gave the order in an orderly manner.
Under his calm command, some of the flying boulders were shattered by arrows, except for the soldiers in front of him, there were no injuries at all, of course, some were injured by falling arrows, which did not count.
"Whoosh Knock Knock"
For a while, the sound of arrows and boulders galloping sounded, and from time to time the sound of boulders falling to the ground came, which made many people's hearts tangled, not knowing how Li Fa's army suffered casualties.
Among them, Youzhou players want to know the results of Li Fa, as long as Li Fa's casualties are not large, they dare to fight with the mall, if Li Fa's casualties are large, it means that the mall's defensive equipment is very strong.
Although their comparison is a little inappropriate, that's what they think in their hearts.
With the improvement of the player's level, the replacement of equipment, and the enhancement of skills, in the face of soldiers above level 60, they have been able to achieve a one-to-one battle loss, while the soldiers of the general princes are ordinary, that is, about level 60, no matter how strong they are, they are not too strong.
So they think that Li Yi's army is like this, this time the temptation must be ordinary level soldiers, if the casualties are not large, then they will not die too much
A quarter of an hour later, instead of firing the boulder again, the mall waited for the result this time.
Li Fa's location was obscured by smoke and dust, which made some anxious players unhappy, and many of them thought they were powerful and rushed forward, wanting to take the first step to see the casualties of Li Fa's army.
After they rushed up, a strong wind blew, and the smoke and dust were blown away, and the unfortunate ones were blocked by the sand and dust, and they couldn't see anything.
Players who didn't rush forward could see it clearly, where there were many boulders, and in some places even piled up into a small mountain, and Li Fa's army was still standing in place as if nothing happened, as if waiting for orders.
From a distance, the army is still square, one phalanx for every 10,000 people, and a full 200 phalanxes are lined up, forming a larger phalanx, and if you look closely, you can't find the specific number of casualties at all.
But they can be sure that the casualties are not large, and if they are large, they cannot remain as motionless as they are now.
"Haha, one is not dead, one is not dead, the mall is a bunch of waste, and none of them have been killed!" At this time, a few players who were running fast, checked the lap, and then ran back directly.
Spread the word about this amazing news and boost the morale of the players.
Originally, a few rounds of stone-throwing attacks in the mall, but they were frightened, and the ** of attacking the mall was also greatly reduced, no matter what, a death was also a level reduction blow, and several pieces of equipment were dropped on the body, and now the equipment is easy to get, but the level is difficult to upgrade.
It's been almost ten years since the service was launched, but there is no 80-level four-turn, and even Li Yi, who has been upgrading rapidly, does not have four-turns, so you can imagine how difficult it is to upgrade.
Players have a preliminary estimate that it will take at least three years for the first batch of players to make it to the fourth turn, that is, it will take thirteen years to reach level 80!
And now the player's first-line level is about sixty-five, the top one is only seventy, and the weaker one is still more than fifty.
"Hehe, great, it seems that the mall is nothing more than that, when the city wall is breached, we will be the first to rush up."
"Who said it wasn't, none of them died, the master of the mall is really a waste."
"No, you can't say that, now Li Fa's troops are at least a hundred miles away from the city wall, and ordinary catapults can't hit it at all"
"What can't be concentrated, then you go and try it, see if you die!"
"That's right. That's right."
The players talked about the news coming back, and in the quarrel, Li Fa's army actually withdrew.
This move is incomprehensible to players, but they are very excited to see the army without a single casualty.
At this time, Li Yi came to Huang Zhong.
"General, I'm incompetent, I really can't think of a way to enter fifty miles, and I can't enter the range of attack, and the archers' attacks can't hit, that is, I can't break through the city wall, please build an army and punish you!" After saying that, Li Fa knelt down.
This, but it made Huang Zhong a little depressed, who let Li Yi be behind him.
Whether it is punished or not, he is not easy to do, who let Li Fa be promoted step by step by Li Yi, it is said that he is the oldest aborigine, even older than Zhao Yun and others.
"Okay, it's not Li Fa's responsibility, it's that we didn't carry siege equipment, it's just that, even if the troops are trained, you have to think of a way, as long as the casualties are not large, anything will do!" Li Yi really couldn't look at it, and said directly.
Hearing Li Yi say this, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't want to punish Li Fa, although he didn't make meritorious contributions, but there were no casualties, and he tested a little bit of the mall's reality, which was still very good, even if he went up, unless he fought for a part of the casualties, he could rush into the range.
"My lord! Or do we move forward on the earth? Just dig a trench and slowly move within range of the attack, and you'll be much safer! Li Ru suddenly spoke.
His words gave Huang Zhong and Li Fa a lot of inspiration, and Zi thought of many ways.
"That's right, it's really not possible, you can slowly build a bunker within a hundred miles, and then advance little by little, by using water drops and stones, and march to the vicinity of the mall, so that you can attack." This is Huang Zhong's method.
"No, that's too long, I don't think it's better to use Inhumans to destroy those devices, as long as the reward is enough, they will definitely be able to do it!" Li Fa proposed.
After a while, several people came up with several strategies, and they all experimented one by one.
First of all, Li Ru's method, hundreds of trenches began to dig, and then approached the mall little by little.
Huang Zhong's method was also carried out at the same time, collecting those boulders flying in the city, and asking some players with life skills to help build a giant house, and then extend it to the mall little by little.
As for Li Fa's method, he asked Li Yi to help, and in Li Yi's position as a pastor, an orange-level task was issued.
As soon as this task came out, there were very few people who received it, which made Li Fa's face a little ugly.
Fortunately, Li Yi comforted a few words, otherwise Li Fa's face would have been pale.
However, when looking at Li Ru and Huang Zhong's methods, Li Fa's face was much better, because they both failed.
It was very simple to deal with Li Ru's trench, as long as the spring water and river water in the city were introduced, the trench would fail, and the effort would be in vain.
As for Huang Zhong's method, it was a wave of boulder attacks, all of which collapsed, turning the house into a dead mountain.
Later, several people tried a few more, but they all didn't work, and in the face of the mall like a turtle shell, there was nothing to do, and it fell into a stalemate for a while.
