Chapter 43: Light Trebuchet 2

Xiang Qi set up some fortifications around the village, Liu Tianming led about 200 mercenaries to garrison the village, and about 300 mercenaries led by Xiang Qi to operate outside the village.

It is enough to have about 200 mercenaries in the village to guard it, and if an excessive number of troops are concentrated in one village, it is easy to cause the density of the unit area to be too large, and the troops are inconvenient to move and too crowded, which will put them in a disadvantageous position. Xiang Qi led more than 300 mercenaries to wait for an opportunity to act outside, and he could maintain the flexible and active surnames of the troops.

Xiang Qi likes to read history and analyze history, and there are many similar situations in history. Many generals liked to rely on the fortification of the city, so that all the troops were entrenched in the city, and although they consolidated the defense, they put their troops to death, and when the city was surrounded by the enemy, the strong walls became the tombs where they were buried. This kind of passive defense is very dangerous, and the end result is often only a ruin.

Some troops stick to the city walls, and other troops wander outside, maintaining mobile surnames and giving the opponent a fatal blow at a critical moment, this is the way to use soldiers!

Tianyu is an online game with a strategic surname, and Xiang Qi used some of his own thinking from time to time when arranging tactics. These historical strategies and lessons are also applicable when translated into the game.

Nightfall Flying Snow is also rapidly recruiting his players, after he took his men to join Xiang Qi's team, he obtained a stable development environment, and his strength gradually recovered, there are more than 300 players under his command, plus a total of more than 500 mercenary units, the combat effectiveness is still quite strong, the overall strength is no less than Xiang Qi's troops, if used well, the combat effectiveness is stronger than Xiang Qi's pure mercenary troops.

This is the first battle after Yeluo Feixue joined, he naturally wanted to perform well, and patiently waited for Xiang Qi's order, although he didn't have a deep contact with Xiang Qi, but Yeluo Feixue had a very strange intuition, Xiang Qi was a person who refused to suffer, and he would never let others suffer! As long as he coordinates well with Xiang Qi, he can achieve greater development.

Through the vision of several relatively hidden watchtowers, Xiang Qi observed the every move of those Holy War Guild player troops, they had more than 600 units, and if they fought, they would definitely lose a lot.

"Tear down those towers!" Hei Yan's gaze swept over several watchtowers on the high grounds, in order to avoid the trebuchet being discovered, destroying the watchtower could make Xiang Qi lose a lot of vision.

A watchtower collapsed under the attack of several Jihadist Guild players, and the hunters on the watchtower who had not had time to escape fell down, and were surrounded and slashed and killed by those players.

The people of the Holy War Guild destroyed several guard towers, and Xiang Qi's vision immediately darkened a large area.

Glancing at the small map, Xiang Qi's sentry tower in the north of the village was extremely damaged, only one or two sentry towers were not found because Xiang Qi was buried deep enough, one of the sentry towers was arranged among several large trees, the tower body was completely covered by leaves, only a little bit was exposed, and the field of vision was not wide enough, only a 30-degree fan perspective, when Xiang Qi was building this sentry tower, out of consideration for its concealed surname, he decided to build the sentry tower there.

Due to the relatively small field of vision, it also coincides with the field of vision of other watchtowers, usually this watchtower is not very useful, but at this time, the role of this watchtower is quite large, the vision of other places is dark, only this watchtower still plays a role, although the field of vision is very narrow, but Xiang Qi can still analyze the movements of the players of the Holy War Guild with the distribution and movement of the players in the field of vision.

"Is the trebuchet coming up?" Hei Yan asked the players below, and he was still waiting.

"Still on the way, coming soon!" The player quickly replied.

"Adjust your team!" Hei Yan issued instructions to the players under him one by one, confirming that no more people had entered Xiang Qi's No. 3 village, and shouted, "Siege the village! ”

There was no need for him to organize a sneak attack at all, because Xiang Qi had already discovered them, and in this situation, he could only let go of the battle, and it was a frontal battle!

A giant machine moved slowly, gradually entering the field of vision of Xiang Qi's watchtower, and found that there was something abnormal on the minimap, Xiang Qi checked the situation over there for the first time, and frowned when he found the wooden giant machine.

This wooden machine is crudely made, and from the looks of it, it should be a trebuchet! Trebuchets are very advanced things that can only be used in siege warfare in the middle and late stages, and they are extremely lethal. Even with a light trebuchet, the stone-throwing attack can easily crush any fortification.

A light trebuchet has an attack power of 35-56, which doubles the damage to buildings, and a few rounds of attacks can completely destroy the simple fence of a village, and the lethality of bombarding players is not small, and the attack range is very long, nearly one hundred and twenty yards, which is several times the range of archers and mages. No wonder the Holy War Guild dared to come and invade the Savage Plains.

However, the light trebuchet has a disadvantage, that is, it is slow, and it cannot attack when it is in motion, and after reaching a location, it needs to be disassembled, reassembled, and fixed in a certain position before it can be used, and it can only attack in one direction when attacking. Moreover, this light trebuchet belongs to the oldest model, the rank is three, and a lever device is set on the trebuchet, which can only be used by more than 20 combat units at the same time.

The strength of the two sides is about the same, and one side has more trebuchets, and the balance of forces is completely different. In the battle between the beginner classes, there is suddenly a mid-level machine, and the deterrent effect is quite strong.

Unbeknownst to Hei Yan, the light trebuchet slowly moved through the field of vision of the watchtower, and was discovered by Xiang Qi. The advent of light trebuchets is no longer a secret.

didn't expect the other party to have such a thing, Xiang Qi was taken aback.

Xiang Qi estimated the movement of the light trebuchet, put himself in his shoes, if he mastered this machine, which in the current view, has great lethality, where would he put it, thought about it, there are a few positions that are more suitable, and planned in his heart, how to knock out this trebuchet, otherwise if the trebuchet keeps bombarding the village, the consequences will be very serious. However, destroying the trebuchet under the heavy protection of the Holy War Guild is not a simple matter, and it must be carefully planned.

Xiang Qi began to mobilize his troops, dividing them into several groups, and slowly hid towards these possible locations where trebuchets might be placed, and the troops on the side of the falling snow also moved nervously, preparing to block or disturb the people of the Holy War Guild.

A few red dots swept from Xiang Qi's field of vision, Xiang Qi was suddenly startled, it was actually a hunter sent by Heiyan to explore the way, at the moment when these people found Xiang Qi, Xiang Qi pulled out some militiamen and hunters and quickly pounced on them, and the dense arrows covered them, shooting these hunters over.

"Discovered!" Xiang Qi immediately became vigilant, Hei Yan was likely to make the next move after discovering Xiang Qi's troops, and he had to deal with it carefully.
