Chapter 44: Harassment
After Hei Yan sent out a few hunters to explore the terrain, he found that a large number of red dots appeared in the places where several hunters walked on the minimap, and he was suddenly nervous, in addition to the defenders in the village, it turned out that the other party also had a large number of troops ambushed nearby.
Those hunters discovered Xiang Qi's troops, but they didn't find out how many people Xiang Qi had, so they were shot, and Hei Yan was only in the guessing stage about Xiang Qi's strength.
In addition to the five major families, only a few guilds such as the Gladiator Guild can compete with the Holy War Guild in strength, so Hei Yan is quite confident, unless the five major families send troops over, there is no force in this area that can defeat him. The five major families are fighting for the Central Plains, how can they be distracted and send troops to a resource-poor place like the Barbarian Plains?
Although he knew that there were still Xiang Qi's troops nearby, Hei Yan was still moving his troops in an orderly manner, but he was more cautious than before. On a piece of high ground more than a hundred yards away from Xiang Qi's village, Hei Yan commanded his troops to stop, asked his men to push the trebuchet to a position suitable for attack, and began to disassemble and assemble it on the spot into a combat state. Other troops defended themselves near the high ground and began to build fortifications.
The watchtower of Village No. 3 found Hei Yan's troops, and Hei Yan's troops stopped in an area more than a hundred yards away from the village, and the sentry towers of the first-level villages were not far enough to attack Hei Yan's troops at all. Seeing that the players of the Holy War Guild did not continue to advance, but rested on the spot and built fortifications, Xiang Qi's heart suddenly felt that the attack distance of the trebuchet was so far!
If the trebuchet can bombard the village in that position, then the village of Xiang Qi will be in danger, and the village will be ravaged by the trebuchet, but they can't fight back, and if they want to fight back, they have to gather troops to kill it. This is undoubtedly an automatic waiver of home advantage.
In a certain level of battle, there is suddenly a super-level item or a super-level class, and the situation is completely different. Higher-tier classes have a strong suppressive effect on lower-tier units.
The idea of defending the village was frustrated, Xiang Qi quickly thought about countermeasures, if he waited for the players of the Holy War Guild to build the nearby fortifications, then the problem would be serious, which was equivalent to completely losing the initiative.
This positional mode of operation is the most difficult to deal with, and even if there is a full strategy, it cannot be used.
Time was urgent, Xiang Qi was silent for a moment, pulled up a team of more than fifty hunters, and moved in the direction where the Holy War Guild was stationed, and the other teams were divided into queues.
"I'm going to disturb them, you listen to my command!" Xiang Qi said to the Night Falling Flying Snow, if you can lure out some of the people of the Holy War Guild, and then the people who fall into the Night Falling Flying Snow surround and kill them, and bite the Holy War Guild hard, the next battle will be much easier.
The fifty hunters, under Xiang Qi's guidance, wandered around the periphery of the Holy War Guild players' defensive positions, shooting an arrow or two from time to time to provoke them.
The players calmly returned fire and did not rush out in excitement, with both sides shooting sporadic spells and arrows from time to time.
Xiang Qiyan indulged these fifty hunters, constantly adjusting the formation, and quickly hidden, and fifty hunters suddenly appeared in the field of vision of these players.
Salvo!
Xiang Qi shot at these hunters in two points, and fifty arrows screamed through the air, piercing the bodies of the two players of the Holy War Guild, and those two players let out two screams and were killed by these arrows.
Twenty-five arrows shoot at a player at the same time, and the cumulative amount of damage is quite terrifying, enough to instantly kill a Blood Ox-level combat player, and no matter how fast the response of the healing profession is, it can't be cured.
After Xiang Qi completed the point shooting, he commanded these hunter players to retreat quickly, and a piece of magic and arrows shot from the camp of the Holy War Guild players, but the attacks were relatively scattered, and the damage was shared among many hunters, and only a part of the blood of these hunters was killed, and Xiang Qi's troops did not lose soldiers.
These fifty hunters withdrew from the field of vision of the Holy War Guild players, and to Xiang Qi's surprise, the Holy War Guild players did not chase them out, and it seemed that they were still quite cautious.
"Boss, there is an enemy attack, and we have hung up two people!" A player reported to Black Flame.
"Got it, keep the array, leave them alone!" Hei Yandao, the most important thing now is to hold the position, finish the fortifications, guard this high ground, and when the trebuchet is disassembled and assembled, you can wantonly bombard the distant villages, smash the fence, and kill some more mercenaries guarding the village, at that time, the opposite village is like a girl who has been stripped naked, and there is no ability to resist.
Xiang Qi understood Hei Yan's thoughts, and he could see that the leader of the opposite team of players was a very stable person, and after being harassed, he was very orderly when fighting.
Since these people are so careful, then continue to disturb, Xiang Qi divided the troops into seven teams, each team has two squads, and sent three teams to start harassing the players of the Holy War Guild.
Xiang Qi was just purely harassing, killing and injuring the people of the Holy War Guild as much as possible, and after the players of the Holy War Guild were harassed by Xiang Qi, they still did not impulsively chase them out.
"Boss, those people are too much, we hung up eleven team members, and if we continue to grind like this, our losses are too great!" A player reported to Black Flame. The three teams of hunters operating in the vicinity are like a nightmare, they appear in very tricky positions, and they can always kill two people every time they appear, and when they want to counterattack, the other party will quickly retreat, most of the attacks fall into the air, and the few hits cannot form an effective lethality.
Hei Yan was silent for a moment, it seemed that there were at least one hundred and fifty enemies lying in ambush nearby, ready to attack them at any time, should you send someone over and kill these people?
"Winter melon, take two hundred people to chase them, remember not to chase them too far, just drive them away!" Hei Yan said, it is not a matter for Xiang Qi to keep harassing them as targets, but his men are chasing them too far, and Hei Yan is worried that Xiang Qi's group will have more reinforcements, and when the time comes, it will be worth the loss to concentrate his forces to destroy the two hundred people he sent, so he specially told his subordinates not to chase them out too far, just to drive Xiang Qi's troops away.
Under Xiang Qi's instructions, the troops of the Falling Snow at Night had assembled not far from the players of the Holy War Guild, ready to deal with a fierce battle at any time.
"The trebuchet hasn't been installed yet?" Hei Yan asked a little irritably, he had a bad premonition, and the few hunters sent out were all stopped by Xiang Qi's militia, and then killed, he didn't know anything about the situation outside. Xiang Qi was able to intercept and kill all the hunters he sent out to explore the way, and he must be a master with good consciousness and skill. Hei Yan has also played e-sports, but he is not the kind of professional master who is particularly powerful, but he understands better than anyone how terrible the work and consciousness of a professional master is.
"Seven more minutes!" One player replied that the trebuchet's lethality is indeed good, but the action speed and mobility are too poor, and the disassembly and assembly process of switching from mobile state to combat state alone takes more than ten minutes.
