Chapter 179: Timing of the Counterattack
"Hurry up, everyone immediately go to the city wall, immediately familiarize themselves with the use of all the city defense equipment, and prepare to face the battle." The kung fu of a thousand fingers has been the first to climb the city wall. "The other party is now beating the first war drum, and at most the second war drum will stop, and it will inevitably attack the side of Syracuse."
In fact, there is no need to say so much with a thousand fingers, and the others also know that they must hurry, and they have already seen that preparations are beginning over there before they enter Syracuse.
When I got to Syracuse, it wasn't as cold as outside.
Everyone came directly to the city wall, and they didn't have time to see how the guys outside were going to cross the cliff, so they first studied and understood all the city guarding equipment on the city wall here. At the very least, to ensure that when the troops of the northern kingdoms attack, the people can use these weapons to defend themselves.
And in the process of gradually learning about these equipment, the people who didn't have much confidence in being able to defend Syracuse City slowly relaxed a little.
It is said that they should defend above Syracuse, but in fact, the main thing is to let them act as loaders and porters of these equipment. After all, the equipment is fixed to the city wall and cannot be moved. And all the equipment, basically all of them belong to the kind of cold weapons, and if you want to use them continuously for a long time, you need someone to fill the bow, arrow, boulder, and other items. Otherwise, after only one round of launches, these devices will be completely useless.
Just as everyone was slowly understanding the use of these instruments, they suddenly heard a whistling sound outside.
Looking out along the city wall, ten people were immediately shocked.
I only saw that on the other side of the cliff on the opposite side, behind the northern countries, a mass of black oppressive things actually rose into the air, I don't know what they were, but it must be a guy who can fly, and I thought straight to Syracuse City This side flew over, and the speed was quite fast.
At the same time, on the ground, the members of those teams had also built hundreds of wooden towers, as if they had some special purpose, wanting to pass through the cliffs in front of them.
"I'm scrubbing, this is what it looks like to launch an attack in the air and on land at the same time!" Qin Tiancheng shouted. "What should we do now, can we just destroy all the wooden towers on their side? After all, there are not many of those guys in the air, and if the people on the ground can't rush through the cliff, the few people who come from the air are not our opponents at all. ”
Butterfly said, "Do you think that we are ten of us dealing with these people now?" Besides, at such a distance, do you think these castle defense equipment on the walls of Syracuse can fight that far? ”
Syracuse was built on the top of the mountain, and although it was not particularly high from the foot of the mountain, the range of these siege machines was a bit laborious with the addition of a cliff more than 200 meters wide. Even if it can be directly hit on the opposite side, then the residual power born is not enough to destroy all those wooden towers. These cold weapons are not as good as the artillery fire in reality, and they can strike accurately at almost a long distance, and they also have the power of explosion.
Jiaoyue Invite Guang looked at the situation on the other side, and then said: "All the equipment we have here to defend the city must do a good job of division of labor. The other party obviously wanted to take advantage of the unknown things in the air to attack, and then the ground began to launch an action over the cliff. If we were just dealing with targets in the air, then the ground would be rushed directly by them. If we only pay attention to the teams on the ground, the sky will become a completely lost area for us. ”
"This problem is still very easy to solve, in fact, these city-guarding equipment in Syracuse City now are not able to completely deter all aspects." Relatively light weapons such as bows and crossbows can be used against targets in the air, and can strike at long distances without losing accuracy and attack power. As for the heavier fortification equipment such as stone throwing, it is completely possible to throw it at the enemy army on the ground. ”
"Then according to this plan, everyone will cooperate and adjust as soon as possible. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that there is no shortage of ammunition among the defense equipment. Thousand Fingers said.
There were only ten of them in Syracuse, and in the face of the large number of teams from the northern kingdoms on the other side of the cliff, it was really a bit of an egg-to-stone posture. Now they can only take one step at a time, whether they can resist the attack of these northern country teams depends on the power of these city-defending equipment.
Soon, the other party's air team had completely entered the field of vision of everyone in Snow City.
What I didn't expect was that these things that could fly in the air were all unknown giant birds, and on top of each big bird, there would be two or three sergeants of the other party. It seems that this should be a kind of domesticated bird beast that they have trained to carry out air attacks.
Mo Yan and the others, who were already ready, all stared at these guys, seeing a large number of giant birds entering the shooting range, but Jiaoyue Invite Light did not let them start to launch a counterattack immediately, but continued to wait.
The wooden towers on the ground have also begun to operate at this time, and on each wooden tower, there will be a lot of thick iron chains, shooting directly at the cliffs on this side, and at the same time, there are also net-like items thrown out. It seems that they want to use powerful projections to nail iron chains to the cliffs, and use these net-like items to protect them and allow a large number of teams to pass through the cliffs.
But in reality, it's not all. When the huge chains were all nailed, the net-like objects were all hung on the face. In the opposing team, people began to constantly transport whole planks from the rear, and then spread them one by one on those net-like objects. And with their paving, a temporary man-made passage hundreds of meters wide appeared almost soon on the cliff more than 200 meters wide.
When they saw this, the people above Syracuse were really shocked.
Who would have thought that the other party was so good at attacking cities and grabbing land, and in such a sinister environment, he could quickly make such an attack array, using all resources to open up the entire passage of the cliff.
Seeing that half of the giant birds in the air had already entered the shooting range of crossbow arrows, and the front one was already less than a hundred meters away from Snow City. On the side of the cliff on the ground, the erection of the passage has been carried out about halfway, and it will not take too long for a large number of sergeants on the other side to follow the passage and directly come to the foot of the mountain in Syracuse.
"Jiaoyue, don't you start attacking yet?" Bing Han asked anxiously.
Those on the ground, it may take more than ten minutes to complete. But these giant birds in the air, I'm afraid it will only take three or two minutes to reach the sky above Snow City. If the opponent waits for the sky above Syracuse, these castle defense equipment may not be powerful enough.
Jiaoyue Invite Light was no longer paying attention to the situation below at this time, and looked up at the giant birds that were getting clearer and clearer.
"Remember, when these big birds are within thirty meters of Syracuse, activate the crossbow arrows and other defense equipment. When the time comes, the other equipment will start together, and there is no need to throw boulders and other boulders into the opposing team, just hit the planks, giant nets, and chains that have been erected on the cliff. ”
In fact, in terms of speaking, the big birds have almost entered about thirty meters.
Bing Han may not understand these things very well, but a few people like Thousand Fingers, Formless, and Suying still understand the reason for doing so. Therefore, even at this time, they did not make any moves, but continued to wait. Jiaoyue Invite Light also knew that they all had their own judgment ability, and they didn't completely say the order to death.
Just when the ugly faces of the people on those giant birds completely appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Thousand Fingers and the others shouted and immediately activated all the equipment to defend the city.
Suddenly, I saw that on the wall of Snow City, pieces of black arrow rain and crossbow arrows directly rushed into the sky, and the black pressure was almost completely enveloped in the sky outside Snow City. And the loud noises are those stone-throwing instruments or various rolling logs and other instruments, which are also launched together. Huge stones and woods fell along the sturdy outer walls of Syracuse City and directly into the cliffs on the opposite side.
For a moment, there was a deafening deafening in Syracuse.
However, when these appeared, the teams of the northern countries were terrified, but the ten people on the cold side were elated.
In the past, they still had no way of knowing the attack effect of these castle defense equipment on top of Snow City, for fear that if they made a mistake, it would lead to the failure of the entire mission to defend the city. But now it seems that there is indeed a bit of a worry. Although I don't know how long these city-guarding equipment have existed, looking at the power, it should be as powerful as it was back then.
The crossbow arrows that covered the air, etc., because the distance of the big birds was already very close, the strong impact force made each crossbow arrow almost completely penetrate the body of the big bird in the front row, and then shoot at the big bird in the second row. As for shooting on the body of the enemy centaurs, it is even more needless to say, the effect is doubled, or even multiplied. This also shows that the defense of these big birds is also quite powerful.
It may be that the other party did not expect such a reaction from this side at all.
In fact, in normal times, such battles often take place here. However, due to the absence of players, most of the battles between the two sides are evenly matched, and in the end, neither can help the other. And the other party is also accustomed to the side of Syracuse, and has been using the city's defense equipment to carry out a large-scale blocking and resisting habit, although in the end it can't take Syracuse, but the final casualties and losses are not very serious.
But this time it's completely different, because of the guys of Bing Han, Jiaoyue Inviting Light, Love Butterfly, Qin Tiancheng, Zhu Xin, Mo Yan, Su Ying, Invisible, Thousand Fingers and Thunderbolt Rose, it has completely changed the counterattack of Snow City here.
Judging from the usual offense and defense, under normal times, this kind of big bird will be blocked when the air attack is 100 meters away, and it will not be allowed to approach the range within 100 meters. But now the commander has become Jiaoyue Invite Light, completely breaking this concept, and the other party thought that all the city defense equipment on the side of Snow City was malfunctioning, and even began to prepare to enter Snow City directly to receive the city defense of Snow City.
Who knows, when he was about to enter Syracuse, he was directly hit head-on.
At this distance, the overwhelming dense crossbow arrows not only showed multiple damage to the big birds, but also because the distance that the big birds approached this time was too close to Snow City, more of these big birds directly suffered a fatal blow.
Originally, it was still quite advantageous, and thousands of air teams, in an instant, because they were too close to the range of Snow City, caused more than half of the big birds to lose the ability to continue flying. Except for those who were shot dead on the spot, all the others fell in a straight line, and together with the stones and tiles that had been shot out of Syracuse, they threw themselves on the top of the cliff, and the almost flat passage that had been erected.
And those guys on the ground are even more unlucky to get home.
In the past, every time they attacked Syracuse, the Syracuse side would attack the chain at the beginning, so that the opponent could not completely smoothly erect the passage. In that case, there were almost no casualties, because the laying of planks and the movement of the ranks had not yet begun.
But today it's a different story.
Jiaoyue Invite Light has been waiting for an opportunity, just when the other party felt that Snow City seemed to have no ability to attack and resist, and had already opened the team to the passage, the attack and resistance began.
The huge rocks and wood, and the big birds in the air, not only smashed directly into the crowd, but also killed and injured countless enemy sergeants, along with the planks, huge nets, and chains that had been erected below. In this way, the dead and injured were not only because they were smashed out, but because of the countless holes in the passage in an instant, many people fell directly into the cliff. What's more, some of the chains were smashed directly, affecting all the sergeants in the entire line, not just the one that was smashed out.
It can be said that under the first wave of the offensive issued by Jiaoyue Invite Guang to start a counterattack, in less than ten minutes, the opponent was almost already killed and wounded, and suffered heavy losses. And on this side of Snow City, it is just a round of resources for defending the city.
Seeing such a scene, everyone not only sweated profusely, but also had great confidence in defending Syracuse.
